** The nuances, such as moments when he is more moderate than his wife's retinue (who introduced R'hllor worship to Dragonstone) are lost. Stannis isn't a fanatical R'hllor worshipper, he sees Melisandre as a sorceress and believes only in her magical abilities but is far less rigid about other aspects of her faith. He also outright forbids burning people for being "unbelievers" [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure pointing out that if he did that he would have no army]]. While HumanSacrifice is part of R'hllor worship, Stannis never burns anyone purely for the sake of fanaticism, rather he punishes rapists, cannibals or in the case of his former Hand, outright betrayal and conspiring with the Lannisters. In the show, Stannis burns Shireen in a scene that has no equivalent in the books, and is logistically impossible as of ''Literature/ADanceWithDragons''.[[labelnote:From the Books]]He's hundreds of miles away still besieging Winterfell and possibly dead while Shireen is at the Wall while it's in a chaotic state of emergency. It's unlikely that he will be the one to burn her anytime soon and definitely not in the context of the show. WordOfSaintPaul (the showrunners) insist that she will be sacrificed indeed, but the precise circumstances will obviously be entirely different.[[/labelnote]]

** He's fully aware and dismissive of his part in Renly's death since he dispatches Melisandre personally, whereas in the books his involvement is more ambiguous and he finds the thought reatly disturbing, is tormented by {{Past Experience Nightmare}}s afterward, and expounds on his grief and regret far beyond the single dismissive line used in the show.
