man-o-man what a freakin' difference in the Westros world overall!?!!?!

In a word you ask?
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay mo': "masculine".

S.Bean and the King Robert guys have k.Kong sized Y-chromosomes.
Not to mention the very formidable and rather feral ruffian Drago too.

Jamie and Tyrion are consubstantially and noticabely less skirty --less, tame.

Even the last decades worth of a poster child of bratty kids (king Joffrey) somehow manages
to overrule girls/mums when he must. Tho; after that?

This show really was a #m3 sucker punch on numerous levels.
---------------------
Tho' The North and the elements and the mystery of the White Walkers
is just so compelling. Everyone north of Florida prolly has some
taste of Winter in their life. We can all get this to some
extent. And the best villains are still the unshown
unproven ones. Early X-files proved this
the hardest/worst way.

Readers=best at filling in the blanks so that all blanks perform to the individual.

And the gamey, gritty north puts far more salt in this shows, blood.

Most anything south of this -including all this wimminz empowerment-
only leaches and ghouls said "mans-game" NaCl.

As it is remarkable just how much more masculine-bold this show was
in the first 10-20 ep's. I had no appreciation for it at the time.

(ditto the lack of formed alliances early on-- much freer show
for it in terms of plot mytharcs, considerably more, fluid)
===========================
p.s. SPOILS.............

(there are reports of packs of Direwolves vs. the ice S-head dragon swirling...
maybe in the next book?)
