    Varys, that Mormont friendzone was painful to watch after a while.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,476 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    Varys the Spider - Loved the whispering and intrigue. You were never really sure what he was up to. Jorah was a bit more one dimensional.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,627 ✭✭✭PsychoPete


    Voting for the ball-less man that is Varys


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,038 ✭✭✭Ficheall


    Tough. Both great characters, but I'll give it to Jorah for being altogether more likeable as a character.

    Varys because he's one of the best characters, one of the best (if not the best) schemer in the series, and f**k that awful despot Dany for executing him.


  • Posts: 7,967 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I'm gonna say jorah. Both have their merits but hey I like a romance and jorahs undying love for his khaleesi was mostly cute (admittedly with a touch of creepiness).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,985 ✭✭✭Essien


    Varys.

    He offered some of the best dialogue in the show and was one character who I never really knew what he was up to.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,393 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Varys


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,679 ✭✭✭✭salmocab


    Varys he was a great character, no fight but all brain.

    Jorah. Varys was alright in the beginning but they would have been better off killing him while he was still an interesting and useful character and not just tagging along.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,286 ✭✭✭seligehgit


    Varys The Spider's interactions with Littlefinger were one of the highlights of the early seasons,his subsequent character development I was less enamoured with but he still had a few telling moments in season 8.

    Ser Jorah Mormont ever loyal to his object of unrequited love.Pushed away justifiably and unjustifiably,greyscale and all.Cured by Samwell Tarly of all people did not do for me.

    The eunuch of Lys all the way.

    Jorah gets his licks in, but the Spider prevails and advances. 6-2 the scoreline


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 56,948 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Match 6:

    This would be an interesting straight up fight to watch. I don't think the voters will think so though...
    Asha/Yara Greyjoy

    Jon

    An absolute cartoon superhero, but I loved it.


  • Posts: 7,967 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Jon snow. One of the best. I loved Jon Snow for the most part.

    Yara Greyjoy. One of the worst. Couldn't stand her.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Asha Greyjoy because she's the only Greyjoy left and Jon is a dope


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,627 ✭✭✭PsychoPete


    Jon, very noble fella but kind of useless


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,038 ✭✭✭Ficheall


    Don't like Jon, but your w'an is awful.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,286 ✭✭✭seligehgit


    Jon Snow was so central to the storyline.Loved his noble principled nature.

    The whole parentage thing,the outsider of the Stark family.Big reveal to Sansa was disappointing.

    His love of Ygritte.

    His difficult time in the Night's Watch under Alliser Thorne,north of the wall with the Wildings.

    Resurrection a tad dubious.

    His failure to ultimately kill the Night King at the show's death.

    I thought it was suited he ultimately went back north of the wall.

    Yara had a relatively minor role.She tried to bring out the good in Theon and endeavoured to be a worthy adversary to her uncle Euron.

    The man who knows and does nothing!

    Jon Snow.

    Jon was a more interesting plot device and did a Jesus halfway through, so Jon.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 56,948 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Jon Snow carves through Asha/Yara like a hot knife through butter. 6-1 the scoreline.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 56,948 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Match 7:

    And another for those who like to see revenge served.

    The patriarch of House Stark taking on the Boy King who ordered his execution.
    Eddard Stark

    Joffrey Baratheon is absolutely despicable and I love him all the more for it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,286 ✭✭✭seligehgit


    Joffrey for me.

    One of the great villians of the show.Jack Gleeson did a splendid job.

    A coward behind it all and received an apt ending.

    Loved the head of the Stark family ak Sean Bean but only one season before the sword fell on his head.

    Not enough show time.


  • Posts: 7,967 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Ned was great but he can't come close to greatest character. He just didn't last long enough. But Joffrey.. he was a right little scrote but he was one hell of a character. Nasty piece of work, evil little face.. oh I have the rage just looking at him. Ned instilled some basic decency in his children but Joffrey filled them with trauma and hate.

    Joffrey!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,181 ✭✭✭Lady Haywire


    Joffrey Baratheon, the boy we loved to hate, really disappointed he didn't last longer in show.
    We all need that person to despise and he was cast so perfectly, superb bit of acting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,627 ✭✭✭PsychoPete


    Ned wasn't in the show long enough for my liking so Joffery it is


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Ned. The king we should have had.

    Joffery was good in the books didn't like his portrayal in the show.

    He was gross, evil llittle $#it, but Joffrey had some great moments. Mostly when he was getting slapped in the face. Joffrey.
