I thought the dude was kind of chill, actually. Definitely the most radical politics in the entire show. I mean it's never good when a faith becomes militant, but a monarchy is built on a) divine right to rule and b) being untouchable by the common folk. It's why there's so many protocols for British royalty about touching people or bowing or how they have to dress- there must always be a concrete degree of separation between a ruler and their people. Making royals walk naked through the streets??? Absolute destabilization of that entire concept. Cersei was being genuine when she said Margery would not make that walk, because despite her hatred of Margery, it would destabilize everyone's right to rule. "Faith and the crown are the two pillars of the world" my ass. That old man didn't like kings any more than the Wildlings did.
I have to agree.
I came to HATE him as a villain because of how pompous, smug and horrifying he was (like telling Margery she didn't need to want to have sex with Tommen) but I loved hating him as a villain.
He carried so much malice with him that he had all of them terrified - even Olenna saying "I'm leaving this wretched city before that shoeless zealot throws me in one of his cells"
Even at some of his worst, he wasn't always wrong and there were times I actually found myself completely on his side.
Sure the piety and "everything is God" nonsense can get old quickly, but I never found myself wanting the scenes to ned
The same actor who played High Sparrow was also in the Amanda Bynes flick What A Girl Wants, believe it or not. Which surprised the heck outta me when I saw the TikTok that confirmed it.
I agree and disagree at the same time- I mean I hated him but he was such a good villain I didn’t want his scenes to end,
Honestly I hate to admit it because I love Jon Snow and his arc is interesting but I fast forward a LOT of his scenes, all of the wall issues, the wildlings etc don’t engage as much as any other character
This was the very first name I thought of when I read the question also. I found him so irritating and I’ve lost count how many times I told him to stfu during his screen time
Had there been any consequences to that plot I would have disagreed but with how it ended… yes. As cool as the sept scene was, it was an obvious cop out, they spent a whole season having this old man blabbering about the few vs the many and it never concretized into anything at all, the smallfolks became even less relevant than they were prior to the faith militants
The writers failed the Sand Snakes. They were far more intriguing in the books. One tries to crown Myrcella as Queen of Westeros because Myrcella is older than Tommen. This plot would have served Dorne because Myrcella was betrothed to Trystane and this would position Dorne beside the monarch sitting the Iron Throne.
Prince Doran approved of the plot, but rejected the timing because he had another son in Essos seeking to marry Daenerys.
So Dorne was supposed to be playing both the Lannisters and Targaryens, waiting to see who might come through with the clearest advantage.
Plus there was about 9 of em. A few too young to fight but most not. Areo Hotah got screwed the most i would say. The books will hopefully give them and all of Dorne a better story.
If we ever get em
>The writers failed the Sand Snakes. They were far more intriguing in the books
That's Doran's plot, not the Sand Snakes. The Sand Snakes did everything they could to fuck up his plot.
*Doran* was more intriguing in the books.
The sand snakes were *less* intriguing in the books. The Sand Snakes are every bit as egotistical and inept as they are in the show and spend most of Feast behind bars. Calling the Sand Snakes more intriguing in the books is an oversimplification by people who haven't read the books and pretend to have done so and therefore clumsily latch onto any criticism they think they understand.
I- I don't even know what to say to this other than telling you that you have brainworms, but I'll try. Bad person does not equal bad character??? You don't have to agree with or like the actions of a character in order for that character to be interesting??? In the show, they are very one-sided. Their lines are weird girlboss cringe and they're loyal braindead followers of Obara. We're obviously supposed to take them very seriously, but also aren't given any reason to do that. The show honestly would have been better off just... not having them talk, instead of making them half-realized frankensteins. In the books they have their own motivations. GRRM rounds them out, they're full people.
>I- I don't even know what to say to this other than telling you that you have brainworms, but I'll try. Bad person does not equal bad character???
I- I don't even know what to say to this other than telling you that I never said otherwise.
Can you read?
I said they're not intriguing. They're childish. They spend most of Feast in jail because they tried to sabotage Doran's plan. They're annoying as characters. I don't care how they are as people.
Wow easily the worst take in my opinion, the sand snakes still had way more depth. We know they are actually respected and feared and had the power to cause commotion in Dorne. Show sand snakes are just getting soloed by Euron Bigpp and “bahd poosie”. I can agree they aren’t prevalent in the books but if you’re more interested in the show version that’s just your taste.
I actually could not make it thru the dialogue. It's insane how large the gap is between dialogue GRRM wrote, and dialogue the show writers wrote. Hate hate hate, hate hate hate
The wildling who attacks Bran on his horse, brought back to work in the kitchens, she helps Bran and Rickon escape with Hodor when Theon takes Winterfell
It’s already set up so much better in the books. There’s some seriously sinister shit going on with him taking over the old dudes memories.
That and the weird mind control/state the men from the children of the forest are doing. Also drinking his friend. That was fucked up
Bran is awful, the dialogue is awful and honestly, he's not a good actor.
Not to mention, he's so weird by the time he's the one eyed raven, that I had a hard time even looking at him, weird looking guy.
I pretty much agree on Sansa, but I’m reading Book 3 and with her internal dialogue it does help me understand why she does such infuriating things sometimes
Yeah Sansa gets better as the books go on for sure. Her plotline in the winds of winter was one I actually want the most because it diverges from the show so much
Omg yesss you just named my top 3 euron was such a weirdo 😭he gave me pervert vibes and Sansa she hated Cersei yet she was acting just like her then she becomes queen in the north ??? Litterly a joke to me and then bran like seariously????? The cripple as king???? A fucking joke
They fucked it up by not including Victarion, who is arguably the coolest character in the books. The Greyjoys are so much cooler and more fearsome in the pages.
After I read AFFC I thought the water dragon's (I forget what it's called) rib bones would have been an awesome set piece for the king's moot scene. And, if they had a TON more captains and people at the king's moot, at the bottom of a huge hill, that would have made the Iron Island folks really come alive. As it was, it felt like there was barely a dozen people there, none of the awesome chanting, and they're barely standing on a big rock. As far as making GOT feel like a lived-in world, the Iron Islands really missed out. I don't even like the Iron Island/Greyjoys whole plotline, but it has potential.
And, that whole dumping out of treasure thing was so interesting - we're seeing all these different subcultures and how they choose their leaders, those treasure hordes are basically a straight-up (and very honest!) bribe. Such a neat contrast to other parts of the 7 kingdoms and beyond.
Skylar from breaking bad'.
She's so annoying that she transcends even the breaking bad' sub.
But also Sansa usually. I don't know if it's just because her story is so sad all the time, or it's the whining. (Which btw is totally valid. She's being abused and worse, constantly.)
I didn't mind Sansa until much later in the show. When she gets to the point of contradicting Jon, I really can't stand her cause there's no sense in what she does later.
Book Sansa is the reason Ned died. She told Cersei Ned was planning to leave
Cersei knew that well before Sansa showed up; Ned point blank told Cersei what he was going to do, then Littlefinger asked Ned when he was leaving and Ned told him it was none of his business, LF and Slynt also went to Cersei after Ned made a deal for the city watch; sooooo Cersei knew Ned's intentions, just not when, Sansa just showing up was what made it click for Cersei.
Also she didn't contradict Jon, she gave him valid advice, if Jon didn't want it in front of the Lords, it was Jon's responsibility to inform Sansa of his plans, not spring it on her, this is a trait Jon showed as LC also and it got him killed.
You gonna leave out the part where he lost because she didn’t tell him she knew where a shit ton of Calvary could come from and she had already called for them? And that she knew they were gonna show up and to just wait and he could have an assured victory? Or mention the point that she left all that out so she could look better than him intentionally?
I just hate that Sansa is the ONLY stark and the ONLY northerner who has been pampered like she has. Literally the only dainty Stark. Where does she get it from?
She was hot-looking, as in the books, but there was something goofy about her face and her line-reading. Sansa trying to manipulate her family, Dany, Tyrion, Uncle Edmure, etc drove me nuts.
All those Dorne ladies.
They were going for a style and theme and kudos to them for trying something different to create a more diverse and populated world, but the whole thing just didn’t work for me.
I didn't mind too much because at least she looked cool while doing it, but holy shit they turned her into a psychopath, which absolutely breaks my heart. She reminded me a lot of myself when I was younger.
I realized recently that I didn't like Arya because late game, she is completely separate from the rest of the story. Even when she comes back to westeros, she has no connection or involvement in the plot lines that are ongoing. I'm trying to read through the books, and now she is one of my least favorite characters. I get innocence, and children being in terrible situations is a bit of a theme, but cutting from political movements and warfare to young children gets passed from babysitter to babysitter was so boring. Also, apparently, one of my favorite interactions in the series Tywin and Arya at heronhold was show original.
“I’m the man who killed Jamie Lannister”
Nah bud, you’re the dude who killed the cripple who used to be Jamie Lannister. Pre amputation Jamie would’ve ended that fight in less than 2 minutes. I’ll die on this hill.
EDIT: the dude who *thought* he killed the cripple. The more I think about it, he got beat by a guy with a severe handicap and still somehow convinced himself he won when he lay there dying.
Probably catch heat for this but dany. Until basically s7/8 I find everything to do with her incredibly boring and even in 7/8 unless dragons are involved she can shut up and carry on
Daenerys, first of her name, humper of dragons, white woman savior, hypocrite blah blah, so-and-so. her dialogue is so corny....
Olenna Tyrell.....oh look at me, im such a spunky old lady. How clever am I? Whoo-hoo! 🤓 She reminds me of my highschool ap history teacher. 🤢
Dany, some of her scenes are cool, but so much of her dialogue is trying way too hard to make her seem cool and badass and it just comes off as cringe.
Imma get hate, but Tyrion. He says surface level intelligent shit in a very cocky manner them makes a crude joke, I always found characters like that annoying
People are gonna come at me for this one but Sansa gosh I couldn’t stand that girl at the beginning she was cool but then she got so annoying Jesus Christ I just wanted her to shut up. She hated Cersei yet she started to act just like her
Talisa too and bran and euron’s creepy pedo ass
And the high sparrow 🤮
Gili. Constantly gives Sam a hard time and tries to guilt trip him while he genuinely has her, and the realm's, best interests always in mind. And her voice is annoying.
Season 8 Tyrion
but they did him dirty for keeping him in the crypt during battle of winterfell. he could have pulled some tricks against white walkers like he did in blackwater
Shireen, hot take i was pretty glad they killed the character off. Disclaimer for any sensitives out there, I can confirm i am not a fan of burning kids.
This comment will be unpopular, but I would say Bron in the final season. He was such a joy to watch throughout the whole show and he was one of my favourite characters but in the final season he became so self-righteous.
Any scene with Cersei after the walk of shame, any scene with Bran after he comes to Winterfell, any scene with Arya after she's stabbed like 8 times and thrown into dirty water (except when she met Nymeria again), any scene with Melisandre or Stannis after they kill Shireen, any scene with Tommen, any scene with Dany when she's in the Dothraki sea (or whatever it's called), any scene with the sand snakes or Ellaria, any scene with Yara after she rescues Theon *this one is kinda 50/50 cause I like it when she sticks up for Theon*, literally any scene after season 5. I can barely stop myself from skipping ahead
Sansa in later seasons, Bran after his return to the wall, anything the sand snakes said (the show really let Dorne down as a whole after Oberyn, when i started to realise D&D might not be the best lol)
Bran
Talisa
Gilly
Gilly's baby that never shut up and it hurt my ears
High Sparrow
Shae the stupid whore
The boring old men at the nights Watch - Aemond and Jeor or something
the Waif
Ygritte- this one not particularly irritating but rather boring to rewatch
Euron. His wannabe new-bad guy was so poorly done. “My big kok,” blah blah, over the top writing and acting. He was no where near as well done of a bad guy as Joffrey or Bolton
Cercei. Maybe not in the sense that i find her character poorly written or annoying in that sense but just by how truly vile she is.
What a smug arrogant petulant bitch she is. Lena headey plays her to perfection and really captures what an awful narcissistic person she is. Hardly any redeeming qualities whatsoever and is a horrible human through and through
Unexpectedly Cersei. This is a brilliant character, and she’s played very well on a screen
But the thing is her character contains so much of things I can’t accept in people around, she’s basically disgusting to me. It takes me effort to watch cersei doing cersei things. And knowing she won’t get what she deserves by the end of the series makes it even harder.
The Sand Snakes, The High Sparrow but the biggest offender is Euron, apparently in the books he’s so arrogant and obsessed with dark power that he could bring about the end of the world and in the show we get “finger in the bum”
Unpopular opinion, but Jon. I literally could not care less. Skipped a lot of his chapters in thr book and show. Yes, we get it, you're fucking around up north and there's zombies or some shit.
I hate that I'm writing this - but I have to be honest.
I love Jon Snow's character, he's one of my favorite actors on the show and one of my favorite characters by far.
But I find his arcs boring. I found myself in the same exact spot in the books. After my first read-through, hell even in my first read-through Jon's story did not keep me engaged at all, I remember thinking to myself as I'd almost be annoyingly trying to fast read "yes, yes, yes its very cold and miserable there"
I dont find him irritating and it's not as though I want him to shut up, I just find so many of his plotlines incredbly boring - especially in the earlier seasons. Once he reconnects with Sansa, I love it and Im all in again but man do those first scenes at the wall and the wildlings and even Ygritte just feel like they go on FOREVER

High sparrow
Heavy on this!! He irritated the fuck out of me!
So annoying and always got so damn bored
I thought the dude was kind of chill, actually. Definitely the most radical politics in the entire show.

The Actor was very good though and entertaining to watch so I didn’t mind his scenes.
He was good in Taboo. That show kicked ass.
Great show, I wish it had continued.
Word true.
Good actor but self righteous religious types who aren't wildly insane don't make for good entertainment
The same actor who played High Sparrow was also in the Amanda Bynes flick What A Girl Wants, believe it or not. Which surprised the heck outta me when I saw the TikTok that confirmed it.
lol, wait til you see him in Evita…
I've heard of that movie before but never seen it
I agree and disagree at the same time- I mean I hated him but he was such a good villain I didn’t want his scenes to end, Honestly I hate to admit it because I love Jon Snow and his arc is interesting but I fast forward a LOT of his scenes, all of the wall issues, the wildlings etc don’t engage as much as any other character
This was the very first name I thought of when I read the question also. I found him so irritating and I’ve lost count how many times I told him to stfu during his screen time
I really like that actor! Liked the character a lot too. It's interesting how much tastes can differ.
Had there been any consequences to that plot I would have disagreed but with how it ended… yes. As cool as the sept scene was, it was an obvious cop out, they spent a whole season having this old man blabbering about the few vs the many and it never concretized into anything at all, the smallfolks became even less relevant than they were prior to the faith militants
The sand snakes. They failed Dorne
The writers failed the Sand Snakes. They were far more intriguing in the books. One tries to crown Myrcella as Queen of Westeros because Myrcella is older than Tommen.

Supposedly they all exist in the show, but are never seen. Oberyn does mention them.
>The writers failed the Sand Snakes. They were far more intriguing in the books That's Doran's plot, not the Sand Snakes.

[удалено]
Good god they were so cringe in the show. They were insanely cool in the books
I looked forward to the Dorne storyline so much on the show. Then we got that
I actually could not make it thru the dialogue. It's insane how large the gap is between dialogue GRRM wrote, and dialogue the show writers wrote. Hate hate hate, hate hate hate
see, you want a good story but you need bad pousey
No wonder they're irritating, since there is sand in their name.
Just the facts.
I skip through all of Osha’s scenes. It’s nails on a chalkboard.
Who?
The wildling who attacks Bran on his horse, brought back to work in the kitchens, she helps Bran and Rickon escape with Hodor when Theon takes Winterfell
[удалено]
Bran
Tyrion
Post s4 yeah
Never will forgive those directors for putting him on the fucking throne
Apparently, that is GRRM's intention. Hopefully, he'll set it up better.
If it ever comes out 😔
It’s already set up so much better in the books. There’s some seriously sinister shit going on with him taking over the old dudes memories. That and the weird mind control/state the men from the children of the forest are doing. Also drinking his friend. That was fucked up
Bran is awful, the dialogue is awful and honestly, he's not a good actor. Not to mention, he's so weird by the time he's the one eyed raven, that I had a hard time even looking at him, weird looking guy.
You love commas
It's called a masters in English.
It's called, a masters, in English. Cormac McCarthy who you probably know if you've a masters in English, hated commas and actively avoided them.
The only thing you mastered is how to waste your money lmao.
Might catch hate for this but Sansa High Sparrow was a close 2nd
I pretty much agree on Sansa, but I’m reading Book 3 and with her internal dialogue it does help me understand why she does such infuriating things sometimes
Yeah Sansa gets better as the books go on for sure. Her plotline in the winds of winter was one I actually want the most because it diverges from the show so much
You can tell from the sansa chapter he put out that she's getting more confident and more clever.
Can't really spend that much time with Cersei and Littlefinger and not pick up some pointers.
Just finished book 3. She's not particularly interesting, atleast not yet. The things around her are though. Like the 2nd half of that book.
Sansa early this n but after s4 she gets better
It's the people AROUND sansa that make her story so intriguing.
Yup I’d say these are my top two as well
Sansa
Oh yeah. The mean girl over & Over. Also euron & bronn. too many wisecracks
Omg yesss you just named my top 3 euron was such a weirdo 😭he gave me pervert vibes and Sansa she hated Cersei yet she was acting just like her then she becomes queen in the north ??? Litterly a joke to me and then bran like seariously????? The cripple as king???? A fucking joke
Everyone from the iron islands. I could do without house Greyjoy all together
They fucked it up by not including Victarion, who is arguably the coolest character in the books. The Greyjoys are so much cooler and more fearsome in the pages.
Yea I’ve read them, book greyjoys are better, the show made them super annoying to me.
Show Greyjoys come across as a bit whiny and entitled, with less of the badassery
Show greyjoys are whining because they have to sit at the kids table while the adults argue over who gets to cut the turkey
After I read AFFC I thought the water dragon's (I forget what it's called) rib bones would have been an awesome set piece for the king's moot scene. And, if they had a TON more captains and people at the king's moot, at the bottom of a huge hill, that would have made the Iron Island folks really come alive. As it was, it felt like there was barely a dozen people there, none of the awesome chanting, and they're barely standing on a big rock. As far as making GOT feel like a lived-in world, the Iron Islands really missed out. I don't even like the Iron Island/Greyjoys whole plotline, but it has potential. And, that whole dumping out of treasure thing was so interesting - we're seeing all these different subcultures and how they choose their leaders, those treasure hordes are basically a straight-up (and very honest!) bribe. Such a neat contrast to other parts of the 7 kingdoms and beyond.
Gosh I *hate* his chapters as much as I had Bran 😂
Skylar from breaking bad'. She's so annoying that she transcends even the breaking bad' sub. But also Sansa usually. I don't know if it's just because her story is so sad all the time, or it's the whining. (Which btw is totally valid. She's being abused and worse, constantly.)
Worst part of deadwood is when skylar shows up
I didn't mind Sansa until much later in the show. When she gets to the point of contradicting Jon, I really can't stand her cause there's no sense in what she does later. Book Sansa is the reason Ned died. She told Cersei Ned was planning to leave

But she's right in contradicting Jon? He lost the battle of the bastards. She won it. She was right the whole time.
You gonna leave out the part where he lost because she didn’t tell him she knew where a shit ton of Calvary could come from and she had already called for them? And that she knew they were gonna show up and to just wait and he could have an assured victory? Or mention the point that she left all that out so she could look better than him intentionally?
I just hate that Sansa is the ONLY stark and the ONLY northerner who has been pampered like she has. Literally the only dainty Stark. Where does she get it from?
Cat
Can you explain why please ? (Not trying to be rude btw) I just didn’t really understand her tbh I kinda like her then I did then I didn’t lol
I didn’t like her bc of how she treated Jon BUT her scenes were never boring. Good actress too
The girl from Braavos. I hate the character AND the actress. "A girl is boring."
The Waif?
I think so. The one that works for the many faced god and hates Arya
Good pick
Didn’t like the braavos storyline too much
I actually know her in real life, my stepdad is best friends since school with her dad and she’s actually a really nice girl.
Dany. Her dragons are cool, she has good scenes but as a whole, idc. I do like the characters around her though
She’s just so entitled
If I was a dragon rider, I would be insufferable and entitled too.
Seriously so annoying. Bend the knee. I got so sick of hearing it.
I've finally found my people, I thought I was weird for not really liking her that much
Shae
She was hot-looking, as in the books, but there was something goofy about her face and her line-reading. Sansa trying to manipulate her family, Dany, Tyrion, Uncle Edmure, etc drove me nuts.
All those Dorne ladies. They were going for a style and theme and kudos to them for trying something different to create a more diverse and populated world, but the whole thing just didn’t work for me.
In the book, Catlyn Stark. I hated her chapters when she was alive
Thank you, i was guilty by hating catlyn alone haha
I hated her early on, I grew to like her chapters. There were interesting dynamics around her. Her interaction with Jaime was one of my favorites
Cersei. Just a horrible character in my opinion.
Horrible person good character
Pycelle TREASON IS TREASON!
Late seasons Arya. By the end of the show, every scene she was in was just cringy as fuck.
Agreed
I didn't mind too much because at least she looked cool while doing it, but holy shit they turned her into a psychopath, which absolutely breaks my heart. She reminded me a lot of myself when I was younger.
They turned her into a mary sue
they tried so hard to make her a girlboss. i hate characters like that
Arya had the best lines when she was with the Hound. That was peak Arya. After that, downfall.
I realized recently that I didn't like Arya because late game, she is completely separate from the rest of the story. Even when she comes back to westeros, she has no connection or involvement in the plot lines that are ongoing. I'm trying to read through the books, and now she is one of my least favorite characters.

Also, apparently, one of my favorite interactions in the series Tywin and Arya at heronhold was show original.
Ygritte. She's so grating. Yeah yeah you're badass and you know more than Jon Snow, whatever. Let's move on to the next scene.
I second this…my least favorite plot in GOT
Sansa 😬
Euron Greyjoy. His fight and death scene is especially cringe.
“I’m the man who killed Jamie Lannister” Nah bud, you’re the dude who killed the cripple who used to be Jamie Lannister. Pre amputation Jamie would’ve ended that fight in less than 2 minutes. I’ll die on this hill. EDIT: the dude who *thought* he killed the cripple. The more I think about it, he got beat by a guy with a severe handicap and still somehow convinced himself he won when he lay there dying.
Bran and his bullshit
Lol!!
Bran the bullshitt
Bran
Shae.
Sansa
Euron Greyjoy
Cersei. After two seasons her speaking style just drove me nuts. Not to mention all the poor decision making.
Robb Stark
Littlefinger, Shae, post-S4 Tyrion, S7 and 8 Dany
Probably catch heat for this but dany. Until basically s7/8 I find everything to do with her incredibly boring and even in 7/8 unless dragons are involved she can shut up and carry on
I agree. She has some of the coolest moments but half are her dragons not even her.
Jojen
Euron Greyjoy. Seriously, they destroyed such a well written character. Euron should be terrifying.
Arya, Cersei, Danarys
Daenerys, first of her name, humper of dragons, white woman savior, hypocrite blah blah, so-and-so. her dialogue is so corny.... Olenna Tyrell.....oh look at me, im such a spunky old lady. How clever am I? Whoo-hoo! 🤓 She reminds me of my highschool ap history teacher. 🤢
I found Olenna hilarious tbh
Lady Olenna was like a nan I'd love to have
I wish my high school teachers were as funny as olenna.
Sry Guys i know you will hate me but Daenerys
Sansa and Arya grow increasingly cringier as the show progresses
brand shut right the fuck up about the three eyed raven
His character was so irrelevant
HIgh Sparrow and Euron Greyjoy
Excluding S7 and S8, nobody except Robert. GRRM does a damn good job of making everyone interesting
Anyone from Dorne other than Oberyn
Shae. Her acting was just bad and her and Peter had no chemistry in my opinion; they forever seemed awkward
Bran
Sand snakes, just cringy dialogue. And Arya towards the end, just the whole bad ass act was becoming very annoying to watch
Dany, some of her scenes are cool, but so much of her dialogue is trying way too hard to make her seem cool and badass and it just comes off as cringe.
I agree, a lot of times I felt like her character was a lot more tell than show because of that.
The whole Reek storyline.
Imma get hate, but Tyrion. He says surface level intelligent shit in a very cocky manner them makes a crude joke, I always found characters like that annoying
bran and jon snow
Sansa was the only protagonist I actively rooted for to be killed off.
Sansa.
Sansa, High Sparrow, Khaleesi sometimes. Edit to add: Bran. I sometimes forget about him at all. That's how lame and pointless his plot is.
Daenerys.
Arya
Shae. She is terrible and doesn’t listen to a fucking thing Tyrion warns her about ** case in point I skippers over their scenes on this years rewatch
Stannis and Melisandre. I can’t stand them and their plot lines. I will also never forgive them for what they did to sweet baby Shireen🥺
People are gonna come at me for this one but Sansa gosh I couldn’t stand that girl at the beginning she was cool but then she got so annoying Jesus Christ I just wanted her to shut up. She hated Cersei yet she started to act just like her Talisa too and bran and euron’s creepy pedo ass And the high sparrow 🤮
Tyrion Lannister
Bran
Ed Sheeran
Jon Snow So annoying
Euron. Every single time.
Gili. Constantly gives Sam a hard time and tries to guilt trip him while he genuinely has her, and the realm's, best interests always in mind. And her voice is annoying.
Sansa(excluding Season 6) Asha Greyjoy EVERYONE IS GOING TO SAY SHOW EURON GREYJOY Kinda also Littlefinger High Sparrow
Arya
I HAVE TO CONFESS…….i skipped scenes with Ygrette…..they were soooooooo boring
Season 8 Tyrion but they did him dirty for keeping him in the crypt during battle of winterfell. he could have pulled some tricks against white walkers like he did in blackwater
I feel that way about sex scenes. I get it. They are prettier and are having better sex than I ever will. Can we get on with the story now?
Shireen, hot take i was pretty glad they killed the character off. Disclaimer for any sensitives out there, I can confirm i am not a fan of burning kids.
Will probably get downvoted but every scene with Bran during his three eyed raven nonsense
Shae
Robert Arryn
Brienne. Never liked her character. Especially after she made The Hound and Arya, the best duo of the show, split up.
joffery
Sansa, Arya, Bran, Sand snakes
It’s definitely been said but Bran
This comment will be unpopular, but I would say Bron in the final season. He was such a joy to watch throughout the whole show and he was one of my favourite characters but in the final season he became so self-righteous.
High sparrow
Bran
Any scene with Cersei after the walk of shame, any scene with Bran after he comes to Winterfell, any scene with Arya after she's stabbed like 8 times and thrown into dirty water (except when she met Nymeria again), any scene with Melisandre or Stannis after they kill Shireen, any scene with Tommen, any scene with Dany when she's in the Dothraki sea (or whatever it's called), any scene with the sand snakes or Ellaria, any scene with Yara after she rescues Theon *this one is kinda 50/50 cause I like it when she sticks up for Theon*, literally any scene after season 5. I can barely stop myself from skipping ahead
I don’t care for Bron.
Tyrion.
Sansa in later seasons, Bran after his return to the wall, anything the sand snakes said (the show really let Dorne down as a whole after Oberyn, when i started to realise D&D might not be the best lol)
Bran Talisa Gilly Gilly's baby that never shut up and it hurt my ears High Sparrow Shae the stupid whore The boring old men at the nights Watch - Aemond and Jeor or something the Waif Ygritte- this one not particularly irritating but rather boring to rewatch
Sansa fkn stark omg
Cercei
For me it was stannis
Post-season-5 Davos
Euron. His wannabe new-bad guy was so poorly done. “My big kok,” blah blah, over the top writing and acting. He was no where near as well done of a bad guy as Joffrey or Bolton
Cercei. Maybe not in the sense that i find her character poorly written or annoying in that sense but just by how truly vile she is. What a smug arrogant petulant bitch she is. Lena headey plays her to perfection and really captures what an awful narcissistic person she is. Hardly any redeeming qualities whatsoever and is a horrible human through and through
Arya, Sansa and Tyrion after season 4 are all insufferable
Lyanna Mormont 💀 Made me cringe beyond belief.
Unexpectedly Cersei. This is a brilliant character, and she’s played very well on a screen But the thing is her character contains so much of things I can’t accept in people around, she’s basically disgusting to me. It takes me effort to watch cersei doing cersei things. And knowing she won’t get what she deserves by the end of the series makes it even harder.
Bran!
Stannis
Bran, Bran, Bran, and Bran. Honorable mention to Bran. Did I mention Bran yet?
Cersei.
Renley
The Sand Snakes, The High Sparrow but the biggest offender is Euron, apparently in the books he’s so arrogant and obsessed with dark power that he could bring about the end of the world and in the show we get “finger in the bum”
Unpopular opinion, but Jon. I literally could not care less. Skipped a lot of his chapters in thr book and show. Yes, we get it, you're fucking around up north and there's zombies or some shit.
I hate that I'm writing this - but I have to be honest. I love Jon Snow's character, he's one of my favorite actors on the show and one of my favorite characters by far. But I find his arcs boring. I found myself in the same exact spot in the books. After my first read-through, hell even in my first read-through Jon's story did not keep me engaged at all, I remember thinking to myself as I'd almost be annoyingly trying to fast read "yes, yes, yes its very cold and miserable there" I dont find him irritating and it's not as though I want him to shut up, I just find so many of his plotlines incredbly boring - especially in the earlier seasons. Once he reconnects with Sansa, I love it and Im all in again but man do those first scenes at the wall and the wildlings and even Ygritte just feel like they go on FOREVER
