I like Victarion because he's stupid
i've said before vic is a fantastically written character who is by basically any standard far from incompetent — and in fact demonstratively powerful, successful, and capable — but who, through a combination of trauma and cultural worldview, sees himself as unworthy of the position of Thinking. he very comfortably and consistently outsources his own thinking to his brothers who he has decided are suited to the task. it doesn't matter that he is a physically strong, socially influencial, militarily successful, and generally authoritative man. he has decided (not even consciously) that thinking is an activity reserved for his three brothers, while he is concerned with the practical matters of carrying out their will.
sometimes in his povs he comes dangerously close to truly experiencing a thought before shoving it back down and assuring himself that daddy euron knows best and he'll just go with that.
