Like everything in the show, he has had all the sharp edges and freakiness that are the hallmarks of Martin’s colorful characters rubbed smooth.
So in the show, rather than the books’ eye-patch wearing lean, sexy shade-of-the-evening drinking mad pirate’s pirate, who forces Warlocks to cannibalize each other, who owns a magic dragon horn, the blowing of which literally roasts a man alive, who lies with every breath, who is possibly a potential greenseer and warg, the scary dude who possibly raped his own brother, raped his other brothers wife, who sailed the Smoking Seas of Valyria…
…we have instead merely an imposing warrior type who’s not so much sinister and evil as just brutish and dominant.
