Every Villain in Game of Thrones Ranked 

With the perfectly karmic comeuppance at the end of it all.

don't forget the hidden main villain, Geroge RR Martin who didn't finish the story on time and until this day

@@petterblack1351”hidden”

yep😆

i still haven't watched the last episode of S8. watched uncollected rubbish on the roadside for, how many episodes before it, already.

Same! I didn’t realize it was posted only 30 minutes ago until I saw your comment

Same here

same for me but its been 2 hours lol

Lol I do this a lot too with his vids I’m like I know I would have seen that but wait it was just uploaded nvm 😂

Same 😂😂😂 i love supercuts got videos

Tywin wasn't a villain. He was a strong, intelligent, tactical leader whose highest priority was House Lannister, as it should have been. Only weak people would consider someone like Tywin a villain.

We call him a villain because he is an antagonist to the main characters​@@JakeKoenig

@@skan5728 Tywin WAS a main character, so I could just as easily say that other characters were an antagonist to HIM, and therefore THEY are the villains. See how that works? Not to mention that every Lannister in the show (even Tyrion) would be far better off with Tywin as King than a king from some other House, so how is he an antagonist to them? Yeah he was an ass to his kids sometimes, but they would've all been ruling Westeros in various castles if he was in charge. Were the citizens of King's Landing better off being ruled by the Mad King, Robert Baratheon, Joffrey, Tommen, Cersei, or Danerys? I could argue that they would have been better off under Tywin's rule than ANY of those people. That would make HIM the protagonist in the story. It's all about perspective, isn't it?

@@JakeKoenig He is absolutely an antagonist in the context of the story lmao. The best villains are those where you can sympathize with them to a degree. It's really not even a debate that Tywin is a villain.

@@JakeKoenig Nah he's a villain, and he's actually very weak himself too despite his veneer. All his talks about family, how marriages for love are unnecessary - but he loved his wife and when she died he refused to remarry, even though he could've made a strong political allegiance and produced more heirs. Tyrion is 32 at the start of the show and so Tywin has avoided doing something he's happy to order his children to do for the 'family' for 3 decades. The red wedding, besides it's obvious heinousness, also represents a failing of an understanding of how to work within the confines of a society governed by the rule of law - by creating a climate of fear and using betrayal, no one will ever trust you again. And against the world, the lannisters would lose. He took a foolish shortcut, and he's somewhat lucky he died before everything could come back and destroy his family, though being murdered by the son he hated and screwed over all the time because of his own petty anger is also pretty embarrassing

Tywin the God damm highwind

By order of the peaky fookin lannisters

Badass alpha beast

I love #KarlDhrogo the most!

Yeah every character eventually got ruined lol thank god Tywin and Joffrey were spared and Ned

And Robb and Caitlyn

I would rank vilians by how much damage they caused, how many characters hated them, and how long they lasted. And not how well the character is portrayed. Ceisie caused the most damage, overcame a lot of obstacles, rose to be queen, defeated, and killed a lot more strong characters and lasted to the end of the series. She should be 1st. Followed by Little Finger. Tywin only defeated Robb and lost to Tyrion.

He single-handedly made show Tywin better than book one.

@@ricardofonseca8530the book Tywin is just like the version on the show. Only different is some facial hair but Charles dance nails this character in every way

Yes, he was menace embodied

Didn't Book Euron go to Valyria and came back with actual loot? That alone would make him pretty much a one-of-a-kind.

Show Euron: A FiNgEr uP ThE bUm

​@@TV-ge3ujAn entire suit of Valyrian Steel armor and a horn that can supposedly make dragons obey him. Final boss vibes.

We were expecting a force of nature, instead a buffoon answered the door.

I'm ashamed of myself for not including them on this list

​@@SupercutsDelightNah...we kinda take it for granted already that they are the the main villains of the show lol😉

​@@SupercutsDelightyeah man i can't believeeeee you missed that opportunity lol

Can we please have one game of thrones video without the same ass comments. Yeah we get it the ending sucks but shut the fuck up about already

@@SupercutsDelight I guess you just...kind of, forgot about David And Dan.

Cause *pop* quality content you know, either to shit on (seasons 5-8) or praise (1-4)

That’s my way of revisiting the series without actually watching it, it was a top series for me once

Because regardless of the ending, it was still a very impactful show for millions of people :)

F​@@EmyN

There's still the books... sike the Winds have blown them away

I blame D'n'D. Pilou is a great actor. And that's definitely not bias. Even though I'm Danish

Makes sense lol

Well, well, well, well, well, well, well

My fear of Ramsey started in the books I was worried I was going to be let down I was not

@@rosemaryjones5550 I was definitely let down. He just seemed like a perverted little demented hobbit in the show. Not a hulking, menacing, truly deranged sociopathic manipulator that also happened to enjoy torture as a part time hobby. His book version was much more terrifying. Iwan Rheon (and the actor that played Roose Bolton as well) was just not visually a good fit for Roose and Ramsay. Although Iwan did a good job with the content he was given. He seemed like a beefed up version of Karl Tanner more than Ramsay Snow.

@@AdoreYouInAshXI I know but considering everyone was considerably muted I wasn’t disappointed Ramsey could have ended up a torture version of the mountain based on what I worried would happen

He’s supposed to be hated, and he did a great job being hateable

You love to hate him.

A well written and perfectly acted villain!

Exactly. Even Tywin had good sides to him, there are many viewers who liked him. But literally everyone hates Joffrey. That makes him the best villian in the story. Same for the actor...he was literally threatened because peoplegot triggered by his face alone. No one else managed that.

He's also kinda funny like hes so stupid yet powerful. And he's always getting humbled.

In his defence, I think people read him wrong when they lump him in with the 'schemer' type villains. Yes, he plots how to get ahead, but he's actually a true believer. This is what makes him stand out so much for me. I absolutely don't accept this interpretation some people have that he's 'using' the church to gain power. He really does believe in what he's spouting, really does think a life of poverty and simplicity brings him closer to the gods, really does despise the corrupt elite who live beyond the judgement of the law. The elites of King's Landing struggle to deal with him so much purely BECAUSE he isn't just scheming for personal power. If he was then they'd know how to handle him and he'd never have become a threat. In the end, yes, he stupidly underestimated Cersei, and he massively overestimated the influence of the gods. But he had essentially become blinded to the power of the masses to enact their will upon the elite, and genuinely believed it wasn't an issue if she didn't show up because she would be found guilty anyway and justice would find its way to her. He dies for this mistake, much like Cersei dies for underestimating the power of a dragon and Robb dies for trusting the honour of a Fray. As for bringing all of Cersei's enemies into one place, I'm pretty sure the stash of wildfire is still a secret to most at this point (and if they knew of it, they probably think it was all used up in the Battle of the Blackwater). So if there was going to be any attack by Cersei, it would be surrounding the Sept with soldiers. If that happened, it would actually be excellent to have Margaery there, because he believes she's an ally of the Lannisters and that Cersei wouldn't want to harm her. After all, she's engaged to Cersei's son and when the walk of attonement was scheduled, Cersei's brother came to defend Margaery's honour. She's a human shield. He just didn't realise that she was a human shield Cersei would be more than happy to fire through.

The High Sparrow wanted the people to see the elite brought down to their knees. That's why he has Cersei do the Walk of Shame. It sends such a strong messages to all. I would even say that had it been anyone but Cersei the High Sparrow might have succeeded and changed the fate of the Crown forever. No one could have predicted wild fire.

He's a true believer, that's why he slips up. He genuinely believes in his faith, so he can't fathom somebody doing something as abhorrent as blowing up the Sept. He's very well written in my opinion

They also put a bunch of mud in the wound as treatment 😂. Homeboy died of completely avoidable sepsis.

@@jessjess23brooks89 Pretty Jess, Jess Jess Jess, I’ll have you know, Mud is an extremely effective element that has been used to treat wounds and to this day serves as a panacea for all sorts of ailments. It can be used to clean your windows, brush your teeth, even feed your dog (makes dog grow strong). Some have said babies can eat it to gain more intellofgence but I’m not so sure. Most of all mud is expert At treating all kinds of wounds or other issues. Smear some mud on any cut you get. Attach it to a bandaid and keep it on there for extended period. Hardened Mud can also be used in surgery to replace dysfunctional organs, simply shape it into the shape of that organ, and it will function as the organ did. This is a strategy used by many doctors in the ancient world , and as we know doctors of the 12,000 BC era and before are ranound for their wisdom and skill of healing, much of which has been lost . They could heal ANYTHING it is believed

shame she died by bricks

by a mile

No, Nurse Ratched from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

@@kristofferjonshult7795THIS

Wish she got to do something after her incredible arc in season 6, that season finale is still one of the best episodes of television I’ve ever seen.

I thought he was a bit more like Aurane Waters lol

@@megamovieman101 Oh I like that!

You should try the real thing! Next thing you know, you’re a liberal getting free stuff

Wow, didn't clock until you said

I thought I could hear that in the background 😩

Pretty nostalgic tracks.

Uhm. That was not Edmures Fault. His mistake was long After Robb had a deal Made with Frey in that he fought for some mills to save some common folk and ruined Robbs plan by that to trap and kill the Mountain. The Frey Deal was Cats fault

I dont see much wrong with this statement

​@@pascalheinrich3990Thank you, I was just about to mention that

@@pascalheinrich3990 : Watch episode 3 of season 3. They had to go back to the Frey’s and beg for more men because of the “mill debacle” caused by Edmur. They made a deal in return for men that Edmur would marry the Frey girl. Thus the red wedding.

​@@FMD70757that was not because of Edmure but Rob breaking his word to Frey after he married Talissa and cause of that Made Frey angry and his man leaving him. He offered a new deal and kinda made Edmure a sacrifice to fix this mistake of his.

Stannis should totally be on there. Melisandre is excused as she helped the good guys in the final battle against the dead

​@@BenRangelif you still think there are 'good guys', you missed the point

@@gelatinouscube2342 I get it, but this list was about Villains so I’m leaning into it

Stannis isn't really a villain

Stannis was a anti hero until d and d made him burn his daughter

Fookin Legend

Nope

No, but Qyburn and Mance Ryder do... 🙄🤦🤷🤔🤨

Stannis is the main protagonist though

That soundtrack is so insanely good!

Hard agree, they are the best actors and best characters.

Your comment was more accurate before HOTD came out. Absolutely none one was talking about GOT anymore because of how bad the show ended. And thats what made HOTD so impressive because it brought back an apathetic fan base and was actually good

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@Spongebrain97 I’m agree my 😮efrend, Dr. Square. I don’t realy know wat apathormic-whatever means, but they did done an good job at.. brought.. back they’re fans-base, all of us Whom’s had abandoned them cuz of the game of throne Lack Luster Ending, am I right?, I’m very happy and gladd we (u an me) can have this fun coool in-debt conversation, Bob-Pants. Is it al-right if I call u by ur first name, Bob-panties? Btw I think ur name is very unique, very exotic, hehe 😅 What “ethnis city” does you’re last name “Square” comed from, if I’m mite ask? It’s must be such a cool “exotic” ethnis city, and So, thair fore, I’m hope I’m not apeering in as far as a rasist for asking such a thing, rawr 🐅😏 am I right? I could except when’ society call me a rasist as they have MANY times in th past, (seriusly been called it and “big got” over 50 times at least, just for shareing statistics 📊 and skull 💀 and brane 🧠 size data ! Radiculos , u ask me ! Ikr ! ) But, I super can’t like it or except it or handall it wen my very own Friends such as you’re-self as of recently 🎉 ,whom are thinking this that I am wat they say about me , cauze that I would b such a ab 🆎 horrant thing if a frend thinked that about me 😢 (Hopefully I’m have spelt 🆎 horrant corectly, my autocorect got turned off somehow (I wanted to make its stronger, but I accidentally turn it off and can’t finger out how to get it back on sadly 😞👓

it was pretty well known that he married a dragon queen i think or at least a foreigner

I would argue that the audience was supposed to see quite a few of Dani's actions as wrong and villainous (like murdering all the Khals etc) just to foreshadow her Targaryen insanity and becoming a villain later.

I'm actually working on that right now. This video was such a big chongus that it overlapped into my period of time for Shogun.

@@SupercutsDelight oh that’s good. Cuz I really like your opinion about the new series. And ranking every villain in got is actually a good idea for a video. I will see it and make sure to but my opinion about it❤️

The Legend Karl Tanner

You really think GRRM would have characters like Joffrey, Tywin, Euron, and Ramsay and claim there's no villains?

Yeah. Rob is also responsible for the Red Wedding through his actions. Compare how selfish and brazen his actions were, then compare that to Tywin. In terms of their role in the deaths of so many northerners, Tywin’s motivation (end the war, protect his family, secure a legacy) were much more sympathetic than Rob’s. Especially because Rob showed that he understood his actions would have negative consequences but didn’t care. It’s interesting how easily people forgive his actions because true love, but in the context of a war for the throne and the intense politicking necessary for peace, he was essentially risking thousands of lives and perpetuating the war just because he liked a girl a lot. In the pragmatic sense of ending the war being the best thing for the seven kingdoms as a whole, particularly the peasants who were being ravaged, Rob acted less morally than Tywin.

@@loldoctor Your comment reminds me how many times we could find ourselves justifying the actions of the "villains" of the show just because it was a very well writren character and his actions made sense. Also I want to remark the irony of finding "villains" like Tywin fighting for something that we can connect with as his family reputation and a the same time the contradictory situations were you find Catelyn tully supporting her son after he found a girl during a war and having a son with her just like her husband "did". The complexity of the situations and characters were perfect.

Yes.. but she was also married off as a teenager to a 70 year old, I can't in good conscience say that didn't have some justification. Not to mention her crush was obsessed with older sister.

@@micahbonewell5994that doesn’t rationalise what she did. She threatened to push Sansa out the moon door for no reason. Clearly a villain

Actually for that part I have full understanding for. Be more sympathetic to women who get forced to marry old farts. It is kind of painful how little empathy that gets her. However her trying to kill Sansa just because the man she wants is kissing her....well I would like to say that makes her crazy. But I know many women who react with hate towards the women whom their "crushes" are after or together with or cheating with. So thats actually fairly normal, the trying to kill her part not withstanding.

Mirri told her the sacrifice was the horse then after Rhaego died bragged that he was always meant to be the sacrifice. In the books Daenerys was forced to join the Khalasar as Drogo's bridal slave when she was only 13 and when she tries to save Mirri she's only 14. Mirri knew she was a victim too but still took her revenge on her.

Agreed! And also Melissandre poisoned the one old priest/advisor who was like a grandfather to Stannis in her first season

If I remembered well Mance on the book had a « magic horn » that he could use to destroy pretty everything. But he decides to not use it and play fair. So I think is not really a villain

Same, he is literally the biggest villain in this whole show, I despise him.

The way he lets the friends who helped him either straight up die or be abandoned is awful

'By all accounts, my man knew exactly how things would play out and that he would become king and he let it all happen.' Bran's vision is highly indicative of the fact that Dany's rampage was set in stone, if not then and there, then at some later time. In other words, it was impossible to prevent. Sooner or later, her vision for herself and the reality around her would have come to head and she would have reacted the same.

Completely agree, Cersei is the heart of game of thrones, while Ramsey is only really a threat season 6.

I disagree wholeheartedly. What makes Ramsay great and what makes him different from the other insane villain (Joffrey) is that Ramsay is extremely intelligent and calculated. Joffrey acts on emotions almost exclusively, while Ramsay almost always have a grand and devious plan. Both are great in their own right but Ramsay comes out on top for me becuse of that element of calculation and thought disguised as unpredictability. And don’t get me started on Cersei. She was a great Villain in s1-4, she was alright in 5-6, but then she became so bland and one dimensional that I couldn’t for the life of me understand HOW she became the final boss of the show.

Totally agree, I don't get why people like Ramsay so much. It's crazy to me that he got ranked higher than his father, who is way more menacing.

@@CosmicPotato Agreed Roose is much scarier than Ramsay.
