Tyrion Lannister from Game of Thrones and Tyrion Lannister from A Song of Ice and Fire are two different characters. The HBO adaptation started off fairly well with his character...then went off a cliff after season 4, and not just because of Tysha. This analysis breaksdown how they failed adaptating Tyrion, despite the brilliance of Peter Dinklage, and why bad writing can be a big problem.

EXTRA POINTS TO CLARIFY 1) Use the code TREE for 40% off World Anvil with the link worldanvil.com/?c=mltt Or else try it out for free!! 2) When I talk about Tysha actually loving Tyrion, I'm talking more about what Tyrion comes to think, rarher than what may be objectively true. Just because Tywin was lying doesn't necessarily mean Tyrion's idealistic view of their romance is 100% correct, but the objective truth wasn't really the focus of what I was saying. 3) The whole change in his relationship with Sansa did slightly damage his character, I don't know why I said it didn't. I suppose it didn't damage it overall, so much as just an isolated section of the story, though that just lost depth in place of Shae being a bit jealous of Sansa. 4) I know Jorah also captures Tyrion in the books, my wording makes it sound like he doesn't. That happens in the books too but if comes off the back of Tyrion having already been challenged/having things taken from him, and their fall into slavery is a lot less...pointless. 5) Hello there!

I truly think they just decided that they didn't want to turn Tyrion evil because they liked Peter Dinklage too much. Like, oh no we can't make him evil, everyone would hate us for that. Which is super frustrating because Peter Dinklage was one of the stand-out actors on that show and the last few seasons they just gave him nothing to do. After his trial he was completely wasted. If he had gone darkside, it would've been entirely justified and understandable, and I think a lot of the audience would've felt that conflict whilst watching it. You would want him to stop going down that path all the while knowing that he probably won't. It would be like watching the Star Wars Prequels. You know what's coming with Anakin whilst wishing it wasn't. Having Tyrion be the devil on Dany's shoulder would've been so much more compelling than the seven thousandth joke about Varys' lack of a cock.

you mean, the audience liked Dinklage too much, or D&D, or both? When they brought Jon Snow back from the dead, I jut accepted the show was going to be completely character-driven, which isn't the worst thing that can happen to a series. Audiences tend to forgive everything else after they've fallen in love with the characters. There's also a big difference with Star Wars, in that even though you know Anakin turns into Darth, he reunites with his son and they are reconciled before his death. Dani didn't have any such redemption, and I think the ending still would have been a train wreck.

@@squirlmy both really. I think the showrunners didn't give the audience enough credit that they might still like Tyrion even if they (audience) were conflicted about it. I think they (showrunners) were too afraid to mess with the characters, rather just made them archetypes of their former selves. George is all about turning expected character types on their head: trueborn son Robb isn't the fabled hero meant to avenge his father, his bastard brother Jon will be that fabled hero instead and it won't be to avenge his father, it will be to save the world. Tyrion was, to the showrunners, the smart mouthed advisor who was destined for greatness but was overlooked and belittled because he was a literal dwarf. And that was how they wanted him to stay. They put his character into a box and didn't want to take it out at any cost and it ruined his character because of it. Peter Dinklage could only do so much. I think the Tysha thing winds up irrevocably changing the trajectories of both Tyrion and Jaime. One brother starts out evil, loses his hand but regains his honour and will end the story a hero. Whereas Tyrion starts as a sympathetic hero type, gradually gains power but loses his sense of identity and will end the story a villain imo. The Tysha reveal is that point in the middle of their archs where they fully swap over. By removing it you get rid of Jaime finally breaking free from Cersei, the literal worse half of himself, and by removing it, Tyrion loses all motivation for wanting to make those of Westeros pay. (Hoping this all makes sense, I've only just woken up 😅)

I really wish they would have put in the groundwork for Tyrion and Dany trying not to be like their fathers.

But, they could have definitely made it to where he wanted to do things better than his father and better for the people.

Me too. In the books I want them to meet and while building up a trusting friendship with each other they both encourage each other to be better than their fathers. Both are the children of bad men and so would understand not wanting to be like them. And both had Cersei and Viserys who blamed them for the death of their mothers and were abused by them etc. So they have similarities to each other that can help them bond, in terms of having been mistreated and wanting to be better

In the books, Tyrion is driven be the betrayal of his first love and keeps thinking back on her with melancholy all the time. When the big blow comes that she was loyal and true and he in fact violated her in a way that is against his character, all from being tricked by his brother and cruel father, the rage Tyrion feels is absolutely justified. You keep thinking “this is not smart, Tyrion, but I get it”. And then afterwards he still keeps thinking about his first love, the only one who actually was true to him, who loved him, it is even more melancholy and self hating than before. He even has a mantra for it. “Where do whores go?” Removing her makes Tyrion so much smaller and watered down. She was one of his main driving forces.

The version of Tyrion in the show was great...Peter Dinklage was the best actor for the role, but Tyrion was always an "ugly" character who had a lot of charm and cunning he used to compensate. They didnt "ugly up" Dinglage enough for the character to be realized...a problem compounded when Tyrion doesnt lose his nose in the show. Now it's just Peter Dinklage with a cool scar, not an ugly Tyrion with different colored hair, different colored eyes, and no nose. That's a BIG difference when maneuvering through "love" and "polite society". Brienne and Jorah were other "ugly" characters who were hurt by casting attractive actors (even though the actors were great). Tyrion's Tysha/Shae arc WAS ruined in the show, but for me, it was by the omission of the "My Giant Of Lannister" reveal/testimony. To hear his most sincere/intimate pillow talk brought up in court for all to hear and to be laughed at was very effective in the book, but wassnt set up or executed decently in the show (much like bread and salt before the Red Wedding).

To me what ruins Tyrion in the show was the showrunners being afraid to show how gray Tyrion/Jaime are.Tyrion in the books is a misogynist, not above murdering a man just on the chance they are a threat to his position. He states (with a large amount of sarcasm) that he wants to sexually assault and murder cersei. Not having the full context of tysha( a woman tyrion was forced to have sex with) that he was lied about by the only person he completely trusted breaks his psyche and leads him down a very dark path.

Not started the video yet but I think he was ruined in season 5 when he goes to Meereen. After that he doesn't really do anything except make dick jokes. He's supposed to be Daenarys' advisor but in the few instances he does advise her he gets it wrong and Daenarys tells him off whilst he looks at the ground like a child. I'd have liked to see a darker and more vengeful Tyrion like his book character or a revelation about him being the bastard of King Aerys. Instead, just like Euron, his show character is basically there as comic relief even though neither of them say anything funny or clever.

Ya the thing with Tyrion is that he is a decent military strategist and is shown being obsessed with dragons what he should have done is there should have been a ton of Tyrion citing history and dany not wanting to be cautious due to having dragons. It would have been neat if he cited dance with dragons battles and how dragon after dragon were killed. That is something dany doesn’t really know she has some education but most of it was second hand. Tyrion understands that maesters have biases that inform history.

1) it sounds a lot like show Tyrion was whitewashed; taking away his darker traits makes him feel less complex. In the show Tyrion apologizes to Shae as she dies, but she also draws a knife on him first. In the book, it is murder; she doesn’t fight back and Tyrion doesn’t care that he’s killed someone. 2) Penny is the perfect foil for Tyrion; they’ve both suffered terrible losses, but handle the aftermath differently; he’s witty but spiteful, she’s kind and playful (y’know, outside the one time she tried to kill him). 3) D&D tried nothing and were all out of ideas; giving him nothing to do is probably what killed my interest in the show (well that and one other thing *glares at Arya*). 4) Having Tyrion be the devil on Dany’s shoulders would’ve been way more interesting than her ignoring what he says and doing things in spite of him; gives them both something to do and ponder on what are the right choices.

I would pinpoint "the moment" differently, though close. In the books it's pretty heavily implied that Tyrion has the ROSIEST of tinted lenses for his time with Tysha (made a bit difficult, or easier, by Tyrion being one of the most unreliable narrators), but the real moment is when in the show, Shae picks up a knife to attack Tyrion. It turns this first act of darkness into one of self-defense, poor blameless Tyrion, and so on. That's ultimately the end of his forward momentum, because the story is trying to teach us "Oh, look how cruel Westeros is that it did this to one of its more pure characters" but....Tyrion already KNOWS all that. And Sansa is a far better vehicle for that message. Wow a lot of this seems to stem from the fact D+D can't understand women. Weird.

Im disappointed, not that they left out a lot of the tysha syuff, but that they didn't make an effort to still develop tyrions character in the same way. We dont need to know, in detail, what happened to Tysha. Only that Tywin took the only person who ever loved Tyrion for who he was, and punished and humiliated her for it. Then we need to see how that one heinous act completely shapes who Tyrion is and how he reacts to the world around him. In the books, Tyrion is smart and strategic but he fails and gets outsmarted by Varys or Tywin or Cersei even. Almost everything he does seems to be a way to get back at Tywin for Tysha. Or for just the general mistreatment he's experienced his whole life but it always comes back to Tysha. As much as Tyrion wants to be loved, i think he wants to be *right*. he wants to prove tywin and the realm wrong, he wants to be successful and revered, and while i can't blame him entirely for ending up that way, it is his responsibility to be better than his father. Instead of following the advice he gives to Jon, he lets everyone's perception of him determine his own value to himself, and by book five he's Tywin writ small, with a copious amount of daddy issues to boot

"Wear it like armor so that it can't be used against you." It doesn't feel like "Be true to yourself and words can never hurt you" but more like he's admitting that he's scared and needs to be protected. Fear of becoming Tywin, or dying, or getting outsmarted by Cersei is what drives Tyrion's story.

Having Tyrion manipulate Dany into using Drogon to destroy King's Landing as his revenge against not only Cersei, but all of King's Landing because of how they treated him during his time as Hand and then during his trial when they laughed at him when Shay called him "my Giant of Lannister." A Tyrion who never actually cared about the common folk using Dany and Drogon as his scourge against his family who betrayed him and anyone who mocked and ridiculed him makes a hell of a lot more sense than the blubbering "Tyrion" we got in the show who got big sad because the sister who did nothing but torment him was dead.

eh, idk. The fact that it isn't funny might have been meant to symbolize something; maybe that their fates are sealed. The characters are doomed and going to do what they do without good reason, which might have been an interesting foreshadowing, if the writing backed it up. A "scorpion and frog on the river" kind of tragedy. Basically very few of Tyrion's jokes offer any comic relief even when RR was doing the writing, and if you were expecting that I think you're kinda missing the point; he tells jokes because he's bitter and never laughs at those jokes himself.

By the time we get to book five, A Dance With Dragons, after everything has happened we have a very different Tyrion Lannister. Thanks for visiting GRRM's world again, this was great and I look forward to the next one. I'm always telling the folks in my book club to check out your videos about the ASOIAF characters 🙂

Excellent video! I'd also like to point out that in ADWD there are several characters who could be and are at various times suspected of being the Harpy, including Hizdar who is not killed by the sons of the Harpy in the book, and Galazza Galare a meerenese priestess who brokered a temporary peace between Dany and the slavers who was cut from the show. Removing and reducing the role of such characters handicapped the Mereen story line and is yet another example of how D&D ruined the show by stripping it of the complexity and nuance that made the books and early seasons of GOT so compelling.

Hope you are feeling better You are pretty spot on, I find it interesting that most of the characters are at least slightly nicer than their book counterparts, Personally i would have liked to see more of the Sea Chain in the TV because it helps demonstrate Tyrions ruthlessness, I think that his easy ride as you say detracts from much of his curdling, this is common with other characters its like thickening to butter from cream all the little turns servere to tighten and enrich the mix. The failing in the series was that in their rush to cut out bits they ran out of story too soon.

I love your analysis of Tyrion, frankly the book version of him is hard to stand behind sometimes. Although you see glimpses of goodness in him, he is still a emotionally stunted mess, egotistical, pitiful, and immature. Downright unlikable at times, but he is interesting. The show is very restrained in comparison yet it loves to shock people with cruelty not even seen the books, it’s strange. They are afraid that people lacking media literacy will not enjoy the morally complicated characters and instead makes characters like Tyrion, Jorah, Jon, and Dany good with some minor flaws that can be overlooked. This makes me want a Jon video because I believe he and Dany are the 2 characters that were hit the worst in the show. ADWD is my favorite book because Jon and Dany are grappling with their newfound power, Jon’s chapters has always been my favorite.

Haven’t started the video yet but the problem with Tyrion started long before since he was supposed to show signs of pettiness like he did in the first book when heading up to the wall, not only that but making him a good guy in the show was a mistake considering the route and path he went through in the books and is currently heading on in the books. If anything I find the show and book characters to be two different people since you can’t call the show version Tyrion Lannister like you can in the books.

To sum it up: season 5. Season 5 ruined Tyrion. All of what built up in season 4 in terms of his Joffrey murder trial really took a toll on his relationships with everyone in Kings Landing and his immediately family. All D&D did with it was make him drink it all away in depression when he got to Pentos. That wasn't development: it was a reset button on his character so the plot could have him captured and brought to Daenyrs without anything of his past mattering other than his supposed intelligence. The only thing he accomplished with that was a temporary peace in Mereen while Daenyrs was gone?

For me, Tysha is crucial, when it comes to Tyrion because it changed everything in the end of S04. He wasn't exactly the Tyrion of the books previously either, but it was then that his character took a big U-turn (the motivation for killing Tywin and how he departs with Jamie). Tyrion's biggest deficit, which defines his story and character, is that he was never loved and appreciated. On the contrary, he was seen as a "monster". The only person who he trusted and felt loved by was Jamie. In one fatal moment, he learns that Tysha really did love him, and she was punished for that. She was raped by a bunch of Lannister soldiers, and Tyrion himself was made to watch and rape her too. Her only crime was that she dared to love Tyrion. Not a Lannister, not gold, not power, but him as a person. When you read the few sweet moments of them together in the books (through Tyrion's memories,) it's heartbreaking and makes it even more a tragedy, knowing afterwards what really happened. On top of that, he also learns that the only person who he thought had his back, Jamie, had lied to him about Tysha all this time. In that moment, Tyrion truly has lost everyone. He feels completely alone, lost and betrayed. He's full of rage and hate, which brings us to his following actions; killing a weak and defenseless person, Shay, who owned him nothing (Tyrion in the books knows what Shae is, and that it isn't luuuve,) and who didn't try to kill him. Annnd, if that wasn't enough already, he finally commits patricide. No wonder he wants to die on the way to Essos. He has become the monster. It doesn't mean that Tyrion will go down the path of full villainy in the books - I think it could go both ways. But the series cut off the spine of Tyrion's character and story. In other words, they took away from him, "the human heart in conflict with itself". So, yeah, I would say Tysha is the number one change that affects everything else. The rest is just a consequence of all that. As GRRM says, it's the butterfly effect. His mindset, motivation and desires on the way to Essos are completely different. Not to mention that his story in Essos, in terms of plot and characters surrounding him, is different too. No (F)Aegon, no Penny, no Ben Plumm. His entire story, from S5 until the very end, was a complete waste.

I don't think the Tysha story line is that important, even in the books it seems like it is an added on story line. Things that are ignored from the book is the fact that Tyrion basically orders Bronn to kill the singer, he ends up in a pot of brown. He is already a murderer in King Landing. What is important is that he had to learn humility, he was still an extremely privileged individual, because he was a Lannister, that is what he learns with Penny. He also wasn't as clever as the thought he was, especially against Littlefinger and Varys. He needs to learn a lot of humility, as for example Jon Snow does in the first season and book. He needs to learn to plot better, and he his character does turn darker. Of course in the show it was absolutely ridiculous how he constantly wanted to trust Cersei or he wanted to negotiate with Cersei, if that was just removed it would already have been better. In truth Tyrion's book journey after he murders Tywin is also somewhat problematic. You can see it is a long arc, and something that will not be solved very easily.
@Inkspeckle
@Inkspeckle 9 месяцев назад
I agree with a lot of your points, but I disagree that Tysha wasn't that important. Tysha was a key experience for Tyrion, because it instilled something in him that plagues him deeply for the rest of his life, and that's the idea that he is unlovable. When he is told Tysha, the first person he had a genuine romantic connection with, was a hired actress playing a role all along, this teaches him that no one could ever genuinely love him for who he is. so he spends the following years living by that assumption, trying to buy happiness by buying whores and wine and fine things, all the while with the painful assumption that that is the closest he will ever get to love. you can tell that feeling haunts him during his wedding night with sansa; sure, he is decent enough to not assault a scared child bride, but his internal dialogue definitely reflects that he is hurt by her repulsion and takes it personally, despite there being very logical reasons sansa wouldn't want to sleep with him regardless of his appearance. it shows that he sort of frames all his interactions with people around the core idea that they must be revolted by his appearance and that no one would ever see past that, So when Jamie tells him that Tysha was really just a girl who loved him, who saw past his dwarfism, who didn't know he was a Lannister or that he was rich, who just loved HIM, that not only completely destroys his trust in Jamie, the only sibling he had a connection with, but incites the rage that drives him to kill Tywin, because now he finally realizes how thoroughly Tywin has been abusing him this entire time. This is the catalyst that really pushes him closer to going towards a darker path in the future. Tysha may not herself be that important, but the revelation of the truth is definitely integral to Tyrion's future character developement. it completely reshaped his view of the world.
@tenkenroo

It kind of is super important for Tyrion as Jaime. Jaime from book 1 mentions he finds it interesting he is reviled for an act he’s proud of and loved for an act he never did. Tyrion learning he was loved completely breaks him and in dance asks everyone “where do whores go?” Tyrion learning one person loved him despite his misshapen body and it wasn’t a lie is important.

It was unfortunate how Tyrion's arc was, what I think, wasted in the later seasons. Like since s4 or mid-s4. I think it was because the writers D&D loved the actor and how they wrote the character with all these witty (and entertaining) one liners. Which is what drew me to loving the character as well, besides Peter Dinklage's acting. And dude did a lot and his best to work with the script when God's writing became weak and boring. Maybe its a thing where people didn't want their favorite characters to do evil or bad things, but it should be more normalized for that to happen. Giving a character flaws and conflicts is what gives a character depth and can still be entertaining. It may make people feel uncomfortable depending on what bad acts they do, but that's part of the things with flaws, we know them to be bad and such. And would've killed to see Peter Dinklage to act those out. Ngl, it really felt like he was written to be a Gary Stu by D&D during s4 and onwards. Also, just found it weird with the "love triangle" between him, Dany, and Jon Snow. Like I could've kinda see it, but wasn't set up much. Really love seeing these breakdowns on the character both in the books and show.

In the books Tyrion is full of hate for his brother, sister, father, having totally ruined his chance in a better life. He can’t stand them, he can’t stand kings landing, the stupidity of the people, even his brothers who can’t see who Cersei is, the hypocrisy going on around him. So is full of spite and emotion. But this is also interesting. Will he give into his revenge, his hate and become the monster everyone portrayed him to be or will he stand his ground? There is a small hint from quarth, she warns Danny about the lion and the perfumed sentinel, not to trust them. So this small hint shows that tyrions agenda will be far more self serving. Another challenge for Danny to overcome on her path. This is an interesting little conflict there. Tyrion vs his worst self vs Danny’s interest. It certainly isn’t this flat thing we saw on tv. I am angry with Martin who sold his characters to these producers and allowed them to do whatever they wanted with them. They couldn’t stand up to the challenges of an epic fantasy. Instead they turned it to a cheap melo drama investing more on the soap opera element. Tyrion vs bad sister, who had him all wrong. I don’t think that book Tyrion would even condescend to be the good guy anymore as these days are past. He played that part and he lost the first round. If he returns to Westeros for round 2 apparently he has to play the game harder and darker to match Cersei’s insanity. Because at least in martins books the characters do evolve from their experiences and flow with the story.

The problem with Tyrion in the later seasons is the same as the problem with Dany, Cersei, Jon, Sanza, Arya, Varys, or any other major character arc. All of these characters were created by GRRM. They were all products of his imagination, not D&D, and when they ran out of book material, they were lost. D&D could not hold a candle to GRRM in imagination or character development. They started out adapting the existing books to the screen and were very good at doing that. When they ran out of books, thery had to become creators rather than adapters and were not up to the task.

@Jjop017 9 месяцев назад
Maybe she won’t go mad, but since Westeros tends to frown on woman in power they will see her as mad. If Aegon does actually take the throne and becomes loved even for a short time it seems like Daenerys removing him from power will look bad. If he is a fake I cannot realistically seeing how Daenerys can prove it to all of Westeros, so it seem like a fake story she made up to justify stealing power from her nephew. She is bringing a foreign army to a xenophobic society already. There are already rumors flying around that paint her in a bad light. It could be Daenerys doesn’t go mad, but her actions look bad to Westeros and she never wins them over. When the story is over she will be remembered in the same vane as her father or Aegon the Unworthy. While Aegon/Young Griff, who could be a fake, is just remembered as the heroic person who had his life and power stolen by his evil and greedy aunt.

Also, a lot of her "ruthlessness" and quotes about burning cities and all that which show defenders like to bring up never took place in the books.

Old Tyrion went out when he killed Tywin. I still remember when i watched S5 the first time and immediately thought this Tyrion is off. And it only got worse with him from then on. And yes, Tyrion was at a crossroad at that point. But D&D went with the lazy approach, because it was such a liked character. So they tried to not make him a villain. That resulted in a boring and sad dick joke robot who is stupid on top. Instead he should ve been filled with a fierce will for revenge against Cersei and a despise for the people of Kings Landing, because he had all the reasons for that. Such a Tyrion as the Hand of a more and more mad queen Dany would ve made much more sense and kept his character interesting. And we all know Peter Dinklage would ve nailed a villain Tyrion perfectly. Its really disappointing how this great actor got wasted in the 2nd half of the show...

@@tyrant-den884 His entire character development would be lost. All of the impact of the weight of the Tysha reveal and his killing of Tywin would have been lost. We would have lost the complicated dynamic he has with Penny, we would have lost the entire Aegon plotline, which Tyrion deliberately derails because he's bored and vindictive. The entire point of his journey in Dance is to show how nihilistic and cruel he has become. He abuses a sex worker, he uses his political acumen to convince Aegon to change his plans and go to Dorne, with the express intention of getting him killed, for no other reason than because he can.

I think this is a well thought out and fair analysis, however I really did like Tyrion's character and did not want to see him as a villain. To me, he was a lot like Sansa, a pawn who tries to make the best of his situation and he's "bad" only because he has a broken heart and doesn't believe that anyone has or will love him. I think he's more tragic (even though he survived the whole series) than a villain. I think in GOT, there were a few other characters that were more villainous than Tyrion.

Dani's villain storyline was not a sudden change. She was always blood thirsty and vengeful. She was always challenged by characters the audiences didn't like to being repugnant or worse than her. She was never benevolent or compassionate. Imagine season 1 one if everyone Cersei killed was a worse person than her.

Someone who was “never benevolent or compassionate” wouldn’t spend the majority of the show worrying about the slaves and small folk of the world. They wouldn’t put aside their own selfish desires and give all they had to save the seven kingdoms. You can not like Dany, but she wasn’t the evil monster you want to make her out to be.

You can't just blanently ignore book danys characters contrast and similarities to the show here. Like as early as season 2 , the fkn show dumbed down dany hard amd changed sht that made her seem entitled however she was always someone who is compassionate and cares for the small folk. She embodies hope in the fked up sht show that is the current pace of the books and is a damn good character which will not go batshit insane either.

@@johnivory3245 Yes was smiling when her brother died and the witch was executed like she was having an orgasm. The story would be very different if both those characters were kind and benevolent. saying you're against slavery is like saying your against gladiatorial death matches or witch burnings. You say a lot and do nothing. look at current media corporate messaging with "historic slavery bad" but ignore current year condition of starvation wages, forced slavery or forced worked, tech that build its empire off slavery. jewels people wear and batteries were mined by slaves. This interaction is the product of slaves. But white liberal saviors looking compassion and virtue signaling while doing evil things is a very real fact. I think social justice warriors are pure evil.

@@timtheskeptic1147 Sansa's reaction to the wedding: He had not been dead when she left the throne room. He had been on his knees, though, clawing at his throat, tearing at his own skin as he fought to breathe. The sight of it had been too terrible to watch, and she had turned and fled, sobbing. Lady Tanda had been fleeing as well. “You have a good heart, my lady,” she said to Sansa. “Not every maid would weep so for a man who set her aside and wed her to a dwarf.” As for the molestation: She climbed onto the featherbed, conscious of his stare. A scented beeswax candle burned on the bedside table and rose petals had been strewn between the sheets. She had started to pull up a blanket to cover herself when she heard him say, “No.” The cold made her shiver, but she obeyed. Her eyes closed, and she waited. After a moment she heard the sound of her husband pulling off his boots, and the rustle of clothing as he undressed himself. When he hopped up on the bed and put his hand on her breast, Sansa could not help but shudder. She lay with her eyes closed, every muscle tense, dreading what might come next. Would he touch her again? Kiss her? Should she open her legs for him now? She did not know what was expected of her. “Sansa.” The hand was gone. “Open your eyes.” She had promised to obey; she opened her eyes. He was sitting by her feet, naked. Where his legs joined, his man’s staff poked up stiff and hard from a thicket of coarse yellow hair, but it was the only thing about him that was straight.

I take it from that comment you took this video to be some very bitter complaint about the show. It's not, I feel no great wound about the show. I only watched it last year. I am however very curious to try and understand exactly what went wrong when compared to the books. For which I find it interesting to try and see the problems with Tyrion beyond just saying the typical "they made him do dumb things and make too many cock jokes" problems with stories is interesting to me, especially when it's problems with characters

Tyrion is really bad and bland in Essos in both book and show, so idk why you’re acting like the book 5 version of Tyrion is somehow superior lol. There’s a reason why a lot of your videos don’t do well, bud. It’s because you have bad takes. Like you wanting Penny to appear is laughable. Penny is almost universally hated amongst the fandom.
@mylittlethoughttree
@mylittlethoughttree 9 месяцев назад
Bland and not particularly entertaining is a fair argument (although I think it's underrated) however to argue it doesn't make sense for his character? That it doesn't provide interesting exploration and is the build up for a very satisfying arc to come? I think it'd have been better received were it given more of a conclusion in the book, instead leaving the battle of fire and other aspects still to happen, it feels a bit wayward in its ending, however "interesting narrative" and "fitting character" are two different things. This video focuses on the second for which, yeah I think Penny serves an important role. Doesn't bother me if people dislike her. Loads dislike Catelyn and Sansa and I think they're wrong to do so although my interest is always more in understanding characters, so that would make sense for me.

Not like we're going to get the 2 final books any way. So, it doesn't really matter how much better everybody's story arcs are in the books, the show at least ended those character arcs and the books will probably never have any kind of conclusion good, bad or otherwise bar fanfiction.
