Game of Thrones : The funnest death is Myranda's, and the most satisfying is Tywin's

The funnest death is Myranda's, and the most satisfying is Tywin's

Myranda's death was so sudden and swift, and what I think made it so satisfying was that it happened just when she was being her absolute worst. Joffrey's and Ramsay's deaths were also enjoyable, but at the moments of their deaths they weren't being their worst. Myranda definitely was, right to the last five seconds of her life. I enjoy that scene so much that when I watch the episode, I watch the scene in a loop a half-dozen times, just from the moment Theon moves in on her to that wonderful SMACK when she hits the ground. It certainly is not most spectacular death in the show so far. The deaths of Ramsay, of Oberon, and of course the Red Wedding were much more gruesome or shocking. But watching Myranda go for that short flight, it just always cheers me up.

On the other hand, from an overall storyline point of view, the most fulfilling death is Tywin's. And whether Tyrion thought it through before putting an arrow in Tywin's heart, I think is largely irrelevant. Because regardless whether he intended it, I think by killing Tywin before he left, Tyrion did more to undermine Lannister rule than almost anything else he could have done. Because what he did when he killed Tywin was to make the ascent of Cersei a certainty, and nothing else short of a complete victory for Dany will better guarantee the end of Lannister rule than will the reign of Mad Queen Cersei.

I didn't care for Myranda. She was a character created by D&D for the show. She isn't in the books. Ramsay is a loner in the books and doesn't have a girlfriend. I found her inclusion not true to the character.

Edit: The one character I did like that was created exclusively for the show was Ros.

Characters in the show are not true to their book counterparts and they are mostly better.

Exceptions must be made for the slaughtered Jon, Tyrion and Daenerys.

But those are huge exceptions.

Most people thought I was a hero for killing Lydia's parrot.

especially khaleesi. huge.

Sadly yes, although they started late.
Anyway we look at it, it's always the same result: the damage starts midway through Season 5, when the pace quickens to start delivering the bads.

Jon was fine until the wildling plot had to become oversimplified after Hardhome. It turned into a pure humanitarian issue with a helpless Jon who "hoped the enemy doesn't learn to climb the Wall" and mutineers who simply said "this will be the end of us". Since then, he's been the Fool in the North.

Tyrion became a one dimensional, joke telling all around good guy all of a sudden after he was captured and miraculously ended up in Daenerys' inner circle for making sense in two three minute conversations.

Daenerys became an invincible superhero in the moment she rode the dragon.

Well, what can you expect? Even the actor who plays Jon isn't the brightest

You've got your headphones plugged into it! That's why you can't hear it, buddy.

So are the people on soap operas, but it doesn't mean I want to sit and watch them "act."

Re: The funnest death is Myranda's, and the most satisfying is Tywin's

No one on GoT is as bad as a soap opera actor.

Re: The funnest death is Myranda's, and the most satisfying is Tywin's

I didn't structure my sentence very clearly. Only the first part of the sentence (the comparison to pretty people) is meant in connection to Myranda due to her beauty. She isn't a bad actress. I just didn't care for the character.

The second part of the sentence is me expressing how silly it is to watch a show just for superficial reasons like how "hot" someone is. Personally, I need story and characters to keep me watching something.

Re: The funnest death is Myranda's, and the most satisfying is Tywin's

She is a great actress and I love how she draws from life for her performances. Is that better? ..and she is hot.

Re: The funnest death is Myranda's, and the most satisfying is Tywin's

Clearer at least

Re: The funnest death is Myranda's, and the most satisfying is Tywin's

She was pretty convincing as psycho, for someone being timid in real life.

Re: The funnest death is Myranda's, and the most satisfying is Tywin's

She was

Shut up

The most satisfying death will be Drogon's, exploding after eating a drunken dwarf.

Kneel for Trump, cuck

Say, do you hear that? It's the sound of the Reaper..

Re: The funnest death is Myranda's, and the most satisfying is Tywin's

Why Myranda? She was so irrelevant and was a pure nuisance.

Funniest - Tommen. I actually laughed when he jumped. It was morbid the way I laughed. lol

Most satisfying - Joffrey, Walder Frey and Ramsay. No explanation needed.
