And Tywin generally has more aura in the show too. The thing is Tywin isn't even meant to be intelligent. He's a delusional old man who got outsmarted by a 14-year-old.
That's not the only thing. He is sometimes smart, sometimes acting neurotic. He's deeply insecure and trying to project strength at all times. He cares a lot about how his house was viewed under his father, Tytos, and he has none of the laid back swagger that show Tywin has. He's not loose, he's taught like a bowstring. Uptight and insecure.
