arya had a silent assassin at his disposal that could infiltrate anywhere and he used him to kill a random guard because she screw up and got discovered. Arya could've ended everything in more than one occasion
I love the different reactions from Joffrey and Sansa when they were hit. Joffrey was whacked by a dwarf half his own size and then Sansa was whacked by a paedo twice her own size and was barely fazed. Put someone in situations like that and they'll show what they're really made of.
True. But Malfoy is a kind, charitable boy compared with Joffrey. One could almost describe him even as lovable compared with Joffrey the sadistic, snivaling beast.
@@aditisk99agreed. If witches and wizard is combined in game of throne,joffrey would have died early since he pissed off many people that I won't be surprise if a crucio or other spell is being discreetly thrown at him or at a distant and being curse until a killing curse end him. Also there are spells that have no color or can't be blocked or even cast at a distance hence none can be blame but a bad luck. A simple levitation or push at a high location could have crippled him or killed him just a spell.
@@justanotherhotguy how,it was a peter baelish and cersi, his schemeing got jon arryn dead,which in turned got ned stark dead,then joefrey came on the throne.so
I don't think that's an unpopular opinion at all. Jack did an amazing job as Joffery. The CHARACTER is cancerous diahrrea. But JACK is talented as hell. You just get shits-for-brains who can't tell fiction from reality.
@@gryffith1378 I heard that many people didn't fell that way. Apparently Gleeson said he was done with acting because of all the harassment he was getting from people over his CHARACTER. Unbelievable how stupid some people can be.
True he was a good actor, but his character was just so despicable. I think every actor tries to do at least one badshit crazy villian performance in their life
She does talk about being a stupid little girl, which is exactly what she was at this age. She does redeem herself as the show goes on and does suffer for her mistakes.
@@daniel-bc5sp redeem herself? She's to blame for Daenerys turning tyrant. She was the one to tell Tyrion about Jon's origin, becuz of what? Simply becuz she just didn't like an outsider. Such a weak and petty character
Great respect for Jack Gleeson in playing such an unbelievably unlikable character. Every moment, big or small, that involves Joffery getting hit or insulted feels earned every single time and surprisingly it never gets old.
@@clareann8912 Which is really awful, because it turns out he's a pretty nice guy. Apparently he got Sophie Turner flowers after having to be so mean to her on set.
I just love how Hound calm while Tyrion slaps Joffrey across the face. His reaction is perfect combination of 'bastard deserves it' and 'it's family matter' And then I compare to Trant's...
@@Liero1234 nah you must get all the shit the character has in the head inside yours and internalize all its toxicity, fears and hatred to play him convincingly
@@leeked8889 in the book Sandor immediately abandons Joffrey and runs to Sansa's side, and in the book Sandor stops Sansa from pushing Joffrey off the bridge to protect her and not Joffrey.
The actor got a lot of shit from people because they can't tell the difference between acting and real life. Same thing with the Actress who played Skylar in Breaking Bad. They both got death threats for being good at acting basically
@@noneofyourbusiness4294 I just finished watching got and started watching breaking bad, and I had that very thought if these two actors are getting problems from their characters. Great minds think alike.
Tyrion was probably my favorite character in GOT... Born dwarfed, but stayed alive and prospered by his wits, and his cunning. Peter Dinklage is a fucking GENIUS actor. Nobody else could have captured the character of Tyrion Lannister as well as he. He portrayed the cunning, and the intelligent perceptive individual that was Tyrion....and the delivery of his dialogue captured Tyrion's disdain for fools, and for authority equally well.
I really only learned to appreciate the character of Joffrey after he died. The actor deserves massive respect. He played the part with such perfection that the entire world hated him for years.
@@JJSeattle @JJ Seattle Not giving actors credit is fucking idiotic. A casting director doesn't make an actor suddenly good as soon as they pick them. They're job is to *pick* good actors, and to say that it's all because of them that the actor is good to begin with is asinine.
@@MoleculeXmolecule No its not. It's quite idiotic to believe acting takes some kind of skill - anyone can act, rappers can act and win awards (Will Smith, Mark Wahlberg, Eminem, LL Cool J, etc.), Pro Wrestlers to Professional Athletes can act (Dwayne Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Merlin Olsen, Andre the Giant, etc.) - DOGS like Lassie, Benji, Rin Tin Tin and Pete the Pup can act (rumor is Pete the Pup was classically trained, and Benji was a method actor). It's all about casting. Put it this way, if I paid you $1 million dollars to engineer me a new propulsion system for NASA, could you? Paid you $1 million to take the team to the Super Bowl, could you? How about if I paid you $1 million dollars to read these lines on this screenplay, could you? Double heck yeah you could!!! Its all about casting, casting, casting - hence lots of auditions.
joffrey is so annoying that if i saw him in real life i would slap him. sadly after this show i doubt he will get any big roles. ramsay bolton on the other hand is this badass evil guy who still does terrible things but i still have respect for him
Idk tbh cuz joffrey is this spoiled little monster who thinks he is the shit, has no respect for his family,... ramsay on the other hand had to work to get where he got to and yes he was a monster for what he did to ppl but as a character i think he is a better more badass villan, joffrey could never be
you are actually right. She loved him, but nobody likes him. If cersei can tell that you are an idiot and you are truly just an idiot. (tbh i don't know why so many people think she is at the same level as jofferey, no one is...not even ramsey (in the book maybe, but no in the show), Cersei had humane moments in the show and sometimes she tells the truth; the conversations she had with Sansa and her brothers and her father, also with Robert, they were all interesting and sane. Jofferey was none of those. Jofferey was just ... Jofferey...)
@@lisag8538 Ramsey was very like Joffrey. With the difference that Ramsey was smart. If Jeffrey was that smart he could become like Ramsey. Ramsey loved to torture others like Joffrey, but he was smart and had more power in his actions (for example Joffrey getting send to bed by Tywin or getting hit and cry like a baby)
The funny thing is he swung at her and missed. This is a lad who presumably has been trained in every aspect to take over from Robert since birth including combat. Lol.
Joffrey was whacked by a dwarf half his size and cried like a motherfucker. Sansa was whacked by a paedophile man twice her size and barely flinched. Certainly takes a serious situation for people to show the piece of work they really are.
One of my favorite things I have heard about stories is that "If a character can make you feel emotions towards them, positive or negative, then that character was a success."
Well, provided that the emotion you feel was the emotion you were intended to feel. If George wanted you to like Jeoffrey, then that would be nothing short of a spectacular failure.
Patryk Hounds was way better, the guy said fuck the king to his face and to all the kingsguard and walked out. If selmy had done that, they would have taken him
@@hassanmazza1831 He did just with different words and even better actions. He drew his sword in the presence of the king, he called him boy and he threw his sword to the floor and told him to melt it down and add it to the others. Aegon Targaryen had the throne made of his enemies swords, Barristan was declaring by that act that he was now an enemy of the king then walked away like a boss.
"I slapped a king, did my hand fall off of my wrist?" Member when GoT was one of the best written shows ever aired with absolute witty and good dialougs? I member
Joffrey: "You're talking to a king!!!" SMACK Tyrion: "And now I've struck a king! Did my hand fall from my wrist!?" Tyrion had such great lines until Season 8 ...
The fact that nobody likes Joffrey just goes to show that Jack Gleeson is one hell of an actor. It's one thing to play a character that everyone loves, but when everyone hates your character as intended, you know you've done your job right. The same goes for Iwan Rheon
@Aaron Garcia how unnecessary to say something like that ,and her musical taste(that might not even be kpop nor bts)its her problem not of some random dude. You should probably Apologize.
I doubt very much that you know the actor personally. Did you ever meet Jack Gleeson or talk to him? So if not, what the heck are you blabbering about?
Me: (dialing a number) ?: Hello? Me: Hello this is (redacted), am i right here on a hotline for child services? Child Service: Yes you are. Why are you calling? Me: A 15-year old gets dozens of times by his uncle. Child Service: Oh my god this is horrible! What is the childs name? Me: Joffrey. Child Service: Lannister? Me: Yes? Child Service: HIT HIM MORE! (ends call)
Joffrey is a mixture of evilness and stupidity while Ramsey is far evil and smarter than Joffrey, even getting mauled by his own dogs seems like a easy death for him
Its a FACT that Malfoy is a better person because of ONE thing!! Malfoy has a conscience! He was just a mad boy who get NO love from his father! Joffrey would let them die or he would give the order to kill them all! Even kids! But he would NEVER strike someone down by himself! Because he is an SUPER spoiled incest brat!
@@venar4248 the father of draco loved him but lucius didn't act the right way, he was curel and evil but he always worried to his son. If it's not letting draco touch the dark objects in borgin and borges but I think only in the deathly hallows lucius become a great person, he tried to convice voldemort to stop the war cause he want to search his son
Joffrey was 100% justified in executing Ned and y'all can't change my mind. It was an insanely stupid decision, and incredibly cruel to Sansa, but Ned confessed treason. Traitors in Westeros are to be executed
I love it when Joffrey goes like “You can’t talk to me like that,” even though he has the highest stature in all of Westeros; literally his uncle is roasting him even though Joffrey has more control and power, it just shows how pathetic and incompetent he is 😂
Joffrey is powerless now because all of his vassals (i.e Tywin) are busy fighting in the field against the majority of Westeros who didn't like Robert to begin with and who don't like the centralization of power. If Tyrion had slapped Joffrey when Joffrey's supporters were present he'd have lost both his hand and his head.
@Jacob Sirak Love and respect? Sorry to disturb the peace in Fantasyland but the strongest Kings rule by consent, iron-willed consent but consent nonetheless, frankly Tywin Lannister is a credible and respected figure in Westerosi politics given his station as an elder and lord of one of the Great Houses of Westeros, Joffrey however is seen as an inexperienced, youthful King who is prone to anger and recklessness; this is why when Joffrey names Tywin his Hand and PROTECTOR of the Realm, all responsibility is deferred to him since by guarding the King, House Lannister guards the realm; therefore the Throne is powerless since the Throne doesn't protect anybody, even the Mad King wasn't totally independent, there was no "Targaryen Army", it was comprised of Crownland Houses and the armies of Dorne and the Reach, and lords within every kingdom. Westeros has great disdain for boy Kings, look at Robb Stark, even when rallying his vassals you have lords like the Greatjon shouting "I'll not follow a boy so green he pisses grass!" at his 'liege lord', why? Because Robb Stark isn't seen as credible by his own lords, including the Karstarks whose Lord doesn't believe Robb wants to avenge their fallen; and the Boltons who view Robb as "too soft" for the horrors of war against a rogue House. Same goes for Renly, when Lady Catelyn Stark (an elder in her own right) sees Renly's attitude to war, she remarks "They are the knights of summer yet winter is coming." viewing them as green boys who are unprepared for the end of the Long Summer and the brutality of war. Put simply, it's a boomer generation coming to power and all the elders of Westeros (who hold all the power -cough- a gerontocracy) view them as way more susceptible to failure. Tywin Lannister even remarks that he views Stannis Baratheon as the most dangerous of the rebels, given that he's the only one among them who has actually participated in war 17 years prior, and has great experience managing forces at war, though the show ruined Stannis, the books actually shows how decisive he is at seizing power back from Renly, even though he has never set foot in the Stormlands in nearly 2 decades. Joffrey isn't weak because the Throne is weak, he's weak because of the perception that's he's "just a boy" and needs time to grow up. That's why Cersei was trying to take charge of Joffrey, and even when Joffrey acted out violently, lords like Ned Stark (when confronting Joffrey's claim in the Throne Room) just continued viewing Cersei as the real threat/power. In practice, it's the same with Tommen when Kevan Lannister returns as Hand of the King & Protector of the Realm. Olenna Tyrell deals with him, Cersei & Jaime are forced to negotiate with him to defeat the High Sparrow, why? Because like in Ancient China and anywhere else, boy-kings are puppets until they're grown men.
And to add on to my Robb Stark point, Robb's main puppet master would've been Ser Brynden Tully, a famous and highly experienced battle commander and warrior, who was responsible for Robb's early victories in the war and had such great respect among the Riverlords that his capture of Riverrun with a few hundred men was enough to trigger a full scale rebellion against House Frey which ended up forcing Jaime to bring back the entire Lannister Army to quell the clamor and uproar in the Riverlands. In the books it included other great houses such as the Blackwoods (who ended up fighting House Bracken)
I think a lot of people, if not everyone, cheered when this little asshole finally got what was coming to him. No disrespect to actor who played him, he did a very good job playing Joffrey! But oh man, many times I had to remind myself that this was just acting, that's how well he did!
Small but important difference between this guy and Ramsay. Joffrey was weak but Ramsay was strong that's why Joffrey was universally hated while Ramsay was universally feared.
I honestly thought he was quite similar to Robin, the prince of the Vale. They were both spoilt brats, coddled by their mothers to the point of being puppets, and had little regard for a person beyond his or her usefulness. The only real difference is the weird nursing thing Robin's mom does.
Jack was specatular in GOT. The fact that everyone hated his character shows how incredible he is as an actor! I'm little sad that he's now sem-retired from mainstream acting.
Well, he has semi-retired because people are effing idiots and did not just hate the character, they also hated the actor! The reason he quit was harrassment IRL because of this role! He could never play anything else again because all people can see is Joffry.
@@Puschit1 which is absolutely cringe imo! TBH I don't even understand how dumb some people can be to control their feelings about some mere TV show lmao.
