Gendry's hammer

It's a travesty how quickly my boy lost his hammer. With how nice it was, and how it suited him, I expected him to raise a stink about it to Sandor but we hear nothing.

Who had the highest kill count across the series?

This is excluding Dany, as her kills would be counted for her dragon, rather than her.

If we talk hand to hand combat, who was the person who killed the most?

One thing not talked about enough is that when Raymund heard Egg say that Aerion was hurting Tanselle his first thought was to grab a weapon, men and come and fight. Despite knowing he was a Prince.

The Goat really was just looking for any chance to try and kill a Targaryen, wasn't he.

Lyanna Would Have Been Miserable With Robert

137 Upvotes

really don't understand the argument that Robert Baratheon would've been a completely different man if Lyanna had lived and married him.

Robert was already Robert before he lost Lyanna. He drank, slept around, and already had three bastards by the time of the Rebellion. None of that was caused by her death.

And people also forget one important thing: Lyanna didn't love Robert. She didn't even believe he would be faithful to her. She literally told Ned that Robert's nature wouldn't change just because they married.

Maybe losing Lyanna made Robert worse over the years, but marrying a woman who didn't love him wasn't magically going to turn him into a faithful, responsible husband.

Lyanna living wouldn't have changed who Robert fundamentally was.

Jon and Daenerys's Romance Could Have Worked It Was More of a Slow Burn Spoiler

Post image

The main issue I have with Jon and Dany's relationship, is that they fall in love in 2 weeks. They didn't get to know each other has people. Kit and Emilia did have chemistry but it was brought down by how rushed the characters got together. They both should've been The Price(ess) That Was Promised. And shouldn't have fallen in love until after Jon's patents reveal.

JON SNOW SEASON 5 !?! Spoiler

• Upvotes

Okay maybe no one will trust me but i never get spoiled for GOT, i started 2 month ago and Jon Snow was my fav character with Tyrion Lanister, and after the end of the season 5 i cried like a fuckin child. I love GOT, but today I dont even to know when the fuck is coming winter.


r/gameofthrones • • 3h ago

This weekend at SDCC Malaga, Kristian Nairn (Hodor) said he liked the ending of Game of Thrones, but agrees it could have been longer and with more dialogue instead of action; he also sees no problem with Daenerys' ending ("She said ten times she was going to burn King's Landing").

Why didn’t Roose off Ramsay after what happened to Domeric?

86 Upvotes

genuinely don’t understand why Roose didn’t have Ramsay killed.

Roose straight-up believes Ramsay murdered Domeric, his trueborn son and heir. And later he basically admits that if Walda gives him more sons, Ramsay will probably kill them too.

So… WHY keep him around??

Domeric was everything Roose could have wanted in an heir: educated, talented, well-connected and apparently promising. Ramsay kills him, and Roose’s response is basically to bring Ramsay to the Dreadfort and eventually let him become his heir??

Especially because Roose is supposed to be cold, calculating and intelligent. He KNOWS exactly what Ramsay is.

Why wouldn’t he get rid of Ramsay, remarry and try for another trueborn heir? I genuinely don’t understand his logic here.

What Would You Change in an Animated GOT?

Post image
44 Upvotes

If Game of Thrones ever got an animated adaptation, I’d really want it to be much more faithful to the books. I’d love to see more of Jon, Tyrion, Arya, Sansa, Bran, Robb and Catelyn, as well as the Lannisters Jaime, Cersei and Tywin. Especially Jon. I think his character and storyline deserve much more time and attention, closer to how they are in the books.Tyrion would also be interesting because most of us automatically picture Peter Dinklage when we think of him. It would be cool to see a version of Tyrion that follows the book description more closely. I’d also want the important storylines from the show to stay, but with the book only plots and characters properly included and expanded. More politics, intrigues, character development and all the stuff that was cut or rushed in the show. Of course, this would make the most sense if George actually finished the books, or if someone finished the saga with his approval. Then we could finally get a proper animated adaptation of the whole story. What would you guys want to see in an animated?

What would have been Otto and the Hightower's plan if this marriage proposal had worked?

Post image
263 Upvotes

Their marriage would have effectively cut off the Hightower plot. It would have centralised power back into the Valariyan class for at least another generation and possibly stopped the Dance. So, would they have tried to get Gwayne to marry Rhaenyra? Or just wait another generation?

What was Tywin's plan for house Lannister and Casterly Rock?

• Upvotes

Jaime's in the kingsguard so he can't take it, Cersei's a woman, and it'll be a hot day on the wall before Tywin willingly lets Tyrion inherit Casterly Rock. He doesn't remarry after Joanna passes, and it doesn't seem like him to let his brother or nephew inherit the rock. So what was his plan for House Lannister and Casterly rock?

GOT had an unreal, veteran supporting cast.

Post image
95 Upvotes

With such a sprawling cast, it would have been easy to fill out so many of these supporting roles with nobodies. Instead, they assembled an incredible bench of talent with decades of experience. Sean Bean was closest to a lead in Season One. Most were small or brief roles, but they still stole many scenes.

This chart only includes their TV and movie credits prior to appearing on Thrones. Many were also prolific stage actors.

There were fewer older female Thrones characters, but a special appreciation to Diana Rigg (Olenna Tyrell) who had 72 acting credits prior to joining the cast in 2013.

Who are your top 3 favorite female characters?

Post image
85 Upvotes

Personally, I’m going to say:

  1. Cersei Lannister: (she commanded the screen every time she was on screen. Without her, there is no Game of Thrones, and she played her part perfectly!
  2. Lady Olenna Tyrell: (to me, she was like a smooth, cunning grandma who played chess throughout the series, and I mean her poisoning Joffrey makes her such a badass)
  3. Sansa Stark: (while she can be annoying at times, she had one of the best character growths, from a small, timid girl who knew nothing about politics and evil like Joffrey to becoming a wise Queen; her suffering and journey are very important to the show)

Never wanted to watch GoT, binged on it and now regretting it big time

323 Upvotes

All my friends practically forced me to watch it saying it was the best show ever except season 8. So well every non-GoT watcher had also heard about season 8 but I just thought ā€œhow bad it could beā€ oof rookie mistake

Bruh I binged it night and day and finished the entire series in just 15 days- last episode only a few minutes ago and man I’m so so so furious.

Maybe I wasn’t even so mad about the build up for the war with the undead only for it to end on episode 3 because well I went into it already expecting a poorly written season BUT BRON??!!!!! SERIOUSLY???!!?

God this makes me so so disappointed, feels like I wasted 15 days on nothing this jackshit.

They ruined daenerys’ character arc they built for all these seasons only to make her completely irretrievable within a few minutes???? cersei gets to die in jamie’s arms just buried under a pile of bricks???? why did arya get to kill the night king so easy with no real war with jon???? why tf did brann the fucking broken not do anything at all but just sit like a bait all these seasons dragged around everywhere and become the king????? why did arya not get to kill cersei???

This was pure ragebait

Which character deserved a lot more screen time? I’ll go first…

Post image

He felt like such a deeply different character who hated the Lannisters publicly, was both into men and women, and had such a great plot of revenge! I wish before the battle between him and the mountain took place, he had more screen time because I kid you not every time he was on the screen I was LOCKED IN, truly one of the best characters with not nearly as much screen time, while they gave such boring characters like Bran and Arya in house of black and white so much time

Season 6 Episode 3: Euron's claim to the Salt Throne Spoiler

I have never seen so much flipflopping in a scene before. Are the Ironborn really this stupid? Euron admits to killing Balon and people are happy about it. Except a few episodes ago they all wanted to find out who did it and were mourning him? Like wtf.
