Without trying to troll in any form, why was Renly not justified in his power grab for the throne at the sake of Stannis? Do you believe Renly would not been a good King, assuming he could beat stannis, unseat the lannisters and hold the throne.
He wasn’t justified because he had absolutely no right to the throne, as Renly himself knew damn well.
“—your brother is the lawful heir.”
“While he lives,” Renly admitted. “Though it’s a fool’s law, wouldn’t you agree? Why the oldest son, and not the best-fitted? The crown will suit me, as it never suited Robert and would not suit Stannis. I have it in me to be a great king, strong yet generous, clever, just, diligent, loyal to my friends and terrible to my enemies, yet capable of forgiveness, patient—”
“- humble?” Catelyn supplied.
This stream of narcissistic hogwash - neatly punctured by Catelyn - shows a man, contrary to his own beliefs, who should never be allowed to wield monarchical power. Look at the staggeringly selfish disregard he shows for a bedrock law which is key to maintaining stability in the realm, the law of inheritance, because he, Renly, thinks it’s “a fool’s law” and he’s the bees’ knees. Bear in mind a king is supposed to be the seat of all justice and enforcer of laws, and here we have a would-be king cherry-picking which laws to follow according to what suits his self-interest. It’s utterly amoral, it’s illegal, and had he managed to beat Stannis and the Lannisters, he would have presided over the dawn of anarchy and rule by force. Younger brothers throughout the realm would have looked at his example and decided that the laws of inheritance shouldn’t apply to them either, so Westeros begins to drown in blood as a bloody free-for-all ensues every time a lord or king dies…at best. The precedent Renly sets - “I’m king because I have the biggest army, nothing else matters” - might even have led to near constant challenges to someone’s rule if another noble felt assured enough to challenge them on the battlefield. 
That legacy alone would have put Renly among the very worst kings of the Seven Kingdoms, but you also have various other unpleasant acts and characteristics indicative of a tyrant: he plans to forcibly detain Catelyn in his camp, an envoy there in good faith, until he’s beaten Stannis; not so subtly threatens to attack Robb and his host if he doesn’t fall in line and accept him as king; he is casually and completely comfortable with ordering the assassination of a pregnant teenager who has committed no treason, even suggesting they should have done it sooner; he planned to have Ned Stark do his dirty work in staging a coup against the Lannisters while he took steps to usurp the throne; he would replace a corrupt Lannister regime with an equally corrupt Tyrell regime, and he’s remarkably callous towards his family members (he calls Shireen ugly and plans to have Stannis killed with a total lack of concern). Good King Renly is a figment of his vain imagination, the actual Renly isn’t fit to be king of a dunghill, let alone Westeros.

my favorite thing about “captain america: the winter soldier” is that if you strip them of their supersoldier names the title is literally “steve rogers: bucky barnes”

Hello! I was trying to find an answer to a question I've had for a long time, but I can't seem to find any meta on the topic, and I apologize if you consider this a more basic question. Do you think that Lady Stoneheart and the Stark children will ever meet in the books? If so, how do you think they'd react to each other?
Yes. Badly. As has been said, you don’t create a horrible zombie version of a character and not have her interact with her living children.
To expand on this, while the Stark kids seeing their mother alive might seem to be a dream at first, when they see what she really is – a living corpse, motivated only by vengeance – it’ll soon prove to be a nightmare. On Stoneheart’s end, while we know she’s been looking for Arya, it’s possible that if she were to meet one of her children she might refuse to recognize them because of how much they’ve changed. Or she’d take some other weird offense (cf. Brienne) and things would not work out well from there.
And to summarize what I think could happen, for each of the Stark children:
Bran: will almost certainly see Lady Stoneheart in his weirwood visions; hopefully will not realize what exactly he’s seeing, or if he does he may repress it.
Rickon: god I hope they don’t meet, that would be horrible; but I don’t think Stoneheart’s leaving the Riverlands, and Rickon has no reason to go there, so we’re hopefully safe with this at least.
Jon: (included for completeness even though he’s not Catelyn’s son) I really don’t see a real plot/theme reason for them to meet, not even re her learning Ned never cheated on her, because she doesn’t have the emotional capacity anymore for that to matter. Also that Great Northern Conspiracy theory is balderdash, at least the part where Stoneheart’s trying to make Jon King in the North. (because no???)
Sansa: they may encounter if she goes to the Riverlands (though if she does it may be to organize armies for the War for the Dawn and Stoneheart may be dead by then). I have the occasional hope that LS is what kills Littlefinger at last (after Sansa has foiled all his plans and shown she’s never forgotten who her real father is), but I don’t know how likely that is. And Sansa may be what ends this horrible tragic revenant of her mother, but…
Arya: as linked above (and also), the themes in Arya’s arc really make me feel this meeting is inevitable. Justice, vengeance, mercy (“Mercy” and “Mother Merciless”, even); Arya’s connection to the Brotherhood; the fact that Arya (as Nymeria) was the one who made Beric find Catelyn’s body in the first place; it’s all coming to this deeply emotional, deeply tragic climax. Not to mention Nymeria’s in the Riverlands so Arya’s certainly going there… and she’ll see her mother again, and give her mother the gift of mercy she so desperately needs. It’s going to be so awful and terrible and we’re all going to cry buckets.
Hope that’s the answer you’ve been looking for. (for certain definitions of “hope”, at least.)
