computer parts posted:I think the quote was more "regular banks force Princes to step down, the Iron Bank makes new Princes out of thin air to take the throne". The gist of it that I remember is that when normal banks have princes default the banker offs himself, with the Iron bank they just get a new prince.

I agree, he isn't a great writer, but he is pretty good at creating an interesting world, and the TV shows have the added bonus of time and budget constraints, so I'm hopeful that after seeing their take on the first book they'll be able to do a great job culling out all the unnecessary poo poo (I don't think we'll see half of the POV characters spend half of season 5 with their thumbs up their asses on boats traveling to Mereen).

It's not like they've had a great relationship with the Men. They might just want to purge them and take their chances with the way things used to be. The Children's Obsidian weapons and magic seem to make them more able to fight Others than Men.
