New Daario doesn't look as annoying and bundle of sticksy as the old one, I like.

I thought the old Daario was pretty much spot on for how I imagined him in the books.  This new recast doesn't look anything similar to the old character, so how would people even know this new guy is Daario (unless they go around calling him by his name a few times)?

Daario needs his blue beard and golden moustachios from the books, I always thought. Otherwise he was pretty spot on type-wise.

Slightly full of it is a serious understatement here...

It's too bad that Abercrombie writes unrealistic feminist worlds, likes having protagonists that are female and somehow better fighters than men.

And as it turns out, they aren't even equal thinkers:

 In 1994, Lynn concluded in a meta-analysis that an IQ difference of roughly 4 points does appear from age 16 and onwards, but detection of this had been complicated by the faster rate of maturation of girls up to that point, which compensates for the IQ difference. This reassessment of male-female IQ has been bolstered with meta-analyses with Paul Irwing in 2004[45] and 2005[46] which found a difference of 4.6 to 5 IQ points [5].They saw no evidence that this is due primarily to the male advantage in spatial visualization, and concluded that some research previously presented as showing that there are no sex differences actually demonstrates the opposite. A further study of 1,258 11-year-olds in Mauritius derived a difference of more than 6 IQ points.[47]

Lynn has written that "at the near-genius level (an IQ of 145), brilliant men outnumber brilliant women by 8 to one. That's statistics, not sexism" and "When it comes to IQ, men and women - at least once they've gained adulthood - simply are not equal."[49]

I've heard of similar things before but I haven't looked into it much myself.  Do you have any articles or studies you could share?  I'd like to know more.  Also, what wikipedia article are you quoting?

From what I've read, the curve for IQ for men bombs slightly at either end, meaning there are more genius level AND substandard IQ men than there are women. The curve for women is much flatter, with a greater proportion of women with average intelligence when compared to men.

Maybe, but it still ends up with men leading with 5-6 IQ on average.
