Game Of Thrones: The Sopranos with swords or Dynasty in chainmail?

Tywin Lannister suffered from a severe inferiority complex

...due to his father Tytos being weak and feeble minded

Legacy is all that mattered to him and making sure no one laughed at the Lannister name again. He became ruthless and cunning in the process.

His children each feature a characteristic of his personality

  • Cersei has his inferiority complex and cruelty
  • Jamie has his military skill and generalship
  • Tyrion has his political acumen and statesmanship
Building a family legacy and reputation is a inferiority complex? It seems he learned from his father's mistakes and rebuilt their family name.
 
On the subject of Littlefinger I got an angle no one else has brought up....If Bran is learning to be the 3 eyed raven...and in his own words "can see everything that's happened to everyone".....won't he be able to see al of Littlefingers treachery that started this whole thing and get him killed??????

It's been suspected on here many many times

Why you think he talking about needing to talk to Jon lol
 
yes it is - like I said you can't grasp it... you think its a boast when in fact it was a rebuke - the reason he asked Tyrion to stay was to rebuke him for neglecting his "duties".
Tywin is telling Tyrion to get his priorities straight
In Tywin's POV -Tyrion is wasting emotion and Tywin's time on a something neither of them have the power to change
and worse yet why should he want to change or mourn something that (in Tywin's pov) benefits the family

You are letting all your 'book knowledge' confuse what you are actually seeing on the tv show. :rolleyes:

Tyrion asked him (in a sacrcastic tone): "So THAT's why you did it? To SAVE lives?"
Tywin telling Tyrion to.... 'Go write a song about the Starks'.... was not a REBUKE. :smh:

Look up the word Rebuke in the dictionary. By definition... A Rebuke is a 'harsh criticism'.
It's an expression of sharp disapproval, or criticism.

That's definitely not what that comment was. :smh:
Tywin was 'sarcastically mocking' the Starks with that 'Go write a song...' comment.

If Tywin's WHOLE INTENTION for talking to Tyrion was to REBUKE him for 'neglecting his duties'... they both would have been TALKING ABOUT SANSA THE WHOLE TIME. :yes: Not discussing the Red Wedding. :rolleyes:

If Tyrion was slacking so badly.... why would Tywin only begin to mention Sansa for the very first... as he is walking away from the table? Hmm?

At the 5:20 mark... Tywin says: "Roose Bolton is now Warden of the North... until your son from Sansa comes of age... I believe you still have some work to do on that score"... then immediately gets up & turns his back. (Translation = this convo is done. Get out :hmm: but Tyrion keeps the conversation going by discussing Sansa some more)

On the TV Show, it's clear that Tywin (sometimes) likes to listen to Tyrion's 'perspective' on things. :yes:

But Tywin mostly talks to Tyrion.... TO FURTHER HIS OWN AGENDA. :yes:
He INTENTIONALLY USES Tyrion... TO CARRY OUT HIS 'MASTER PLANS'. :yes:

Here's another example...



He tends to 'listen' to Tyrion... just in case he has something 'worthwhile' to say...
Then BARKS orders at him... in order to further his own agenda.

and thats why you aren't able to see the characters nor plot clearly...
- this work of fiction draws from western European history, the betrayals brutality various key decisions, motivations vendettas etc - are all drawn from a real history of wars and politics.

On the contrary, I see the plot & characters VERY clearly. :yes:

Between the 2 of us.... YOU are the only person who has a very 'hard time'.... SEPARATING... fiction from reality. :yes:

Movies like 'Gladiator' & 'Saving Private Ryan' are ALSO based on 'Historical Events'... but I don't need to know all the little details of the 'specific historical events'.... in order to follow the plot, or understand the motivations of the characters.

Because it's..... just a movie. Not real-life.

This explains why in this thread your concepts of 'murderous' 'sadistic' 'pragmatic' etc are only words to you without ever applying real context -

There's NO NEED to apply 'real context'.... to a 'WORK of FICTION'.
They are 2 separate things ENTIRELY. o_O

Fiction requires a 'suspension of disbelief'. :yes:
'Real Context' does not... Because it is based on FACTS.... not someone's imagination. :rolleyes:

None of this shit is REAL, bruh. :smh: It's just a TV Show.

That's why my understanding of words & concepts like 'murderous', 'sadistic' and 'pragmatic' are CRYSTAL CLEAR. :yes:
Because I don't confuse 'how they are applied' or 'what they actually mean' in the real-word..... and in fantasy-land... like you do. :yes:

no - I assumed nothing - the writers of the book and the TV series have stated in multiple interviews about the plot and character motivations - GoT is based on and drawn from real events in European history
the only thing not reality based is the magic and magic based animals / beings
uhhh no - because thats the definition of pragmatism - again you just seem to apply words without any context

See above. I covered this already. :rolleyes:

I said Tywin didn't order the rape - I said the character ordered the execution and later I followed up with he only cared about the results...

You are in DENIAL..... He did.
And Oberyn knew it... just like everyone else who doesn't confuse Fiction with Reality knows it. :yes: Except you.

again you completely miss the forest for the trees because you can't grasp that character's motivations at the time Tywin saw an opportunity to claim Winterfell - Tywin could careless how Tyrion did it - all that mattered to him was Sansa give birth to a Lannister.

Same way that all that mattered to Tywin during the sack of Kings Landing was that all Targeryans needed to be eliminated - this included Elia and her children - how they died mattered not to him

So here's the difference between us....

According to You...
- Tywin 'cares enough' to tell Tyrion to rape Sansa to produce an heir... if it is necessary.
- But he doesn't 'care enough' to command the Mountain to rape Elia Martell.... He just wants her dead.

According to Me....
- Tywin ORDERS people to RAPE, on his behalf... and he's done it more than ONCE. :yes: (i.e. Tyrion & the Mountain )
- Because Tywin is a sadistic & murderous savage... deep down inside... beneath all his 'dignified' mannerisms. :yes:

no - I posted that he didn't care how she died - you are the one using words like possibility and care

You posted that Tywin didn't care 'HOW' she died.... while completely ignoring the fact that 'getting raped'... was a 'BIG part of her death'.

But I said: "Tywin DID order the Mountain to rape her.... and kill her"

Hey, Guess what? Lady Olenna just died in the last episode.... and Jamie giving her a bottle of poison... was a 'BIG part of her death'. :yes: Just like the Mountain 'raping' Elia Martell right before she died... was a 'BIG part of her death' also.

"All the pieces matter".... when you are talking about 'Tywin's motivations.... and whether or not he would have had the audacity to command a Bannerman to rape a woman, before killing her. :yes:

hey - you and I will never see this the same way...
so we'll continue to argue this some more up to the series end
 
@largebillsonlyplease right. She successfully escaped the fucking White Walkers in enhanced battle mode. Which reminds me...what's up with the rider that saved them!?! Where he at!!! I'm thinking it's Benjin Stark.

Yup
And Ben is out there trying to fight the white walkers he's going to link up with them when it comes to that imo.
For now he's patrolling and doing his best with the magic the fairies gave him
 
Nobody is hating women by hating Cersei man... Geez, you love her... Ok... We don't lol. People have brought up the bad shit Jamie has done many times. GRRM and the show runners have also written him as partially redeemed by having him risk his life when he saved Brienne and stopping her from getting gang raped. Cersi has not done anything to redeem herself. Don't blame us, blame GRRM.


Y'all really hate women. You guys hate Cersei but will give Jamie a pass even though he has cosigned and let Cersei do all the shit you hate her for :smh:
 
Hate Cersi? You been reading my comments? I'm Cersi #1 fan around here
Just saying man, cats on here acting like she is the worst person on the show. In the first episode didn't Ed Stark cut off a innocent man's head for running from the white walkers, dude wasn't a coward or anything but if you see some zombies coming you better get the fuck outta there.

And I always been vocal about how much I HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE THE Starks!!!! :lol:


Any time something bad happens to one of them I look at my TV like this :hmm: and I say "good"
 
Ned did what the law of that land demanded he do. You go awol from the watch, you lose your head. Harsh, but it's the law and it's what that guy knew was the penalty. Notice he didn't beg for his life... he straight up said, "I know I broke my oath and I should have gone back to the wall". The other guy even said "if you want to run away south, run away, but of course they will behead you as a deserter". He could have ran back north but he ran south when he knew he should have gone north back to the wall. We all know that Ned was too much about honor and rules, but let's not act like he did it out of cruelty or vengance... he did it because it was what the law said he had to do as warden of the north... and he was obviously not happy about it. Cersei blew up hundreds, maybe thousands of people and was smiling, sippin on gin and juice :lol:

No. You are reaching in several key points.
Tywin was in denial about his kids fucking.
Tywin was NOT going to kill Tyrion.

As far as Tywin was concerned..... Tyrion was never needed. :smh:
The whole deal about 'sending Tyrion to the Wall' was made ENTIRELY FOR JAMIE :yes:... NOT TO SAVE TYRION. :smh:

Watch the clip. Listen to how Tywin sets up the Deal so damn fast :dunno:... Because Tywin was several steps ahead of Jamie.
And watch Jamie's facial reaction (from the 1:35 mark to 2:05 mark) as he realizes that Tywin had PLANNED it all out. :yes:



Tywin KNEW Jamie was eventually going to 'beg for mercy' for his little brother.... and he used that Love against him & outsmarted him.

Listen to the Deal.

Once Jamie takes his cloak off. That's it. No more Kingsguard. It's Over. Tywin gets exactly what he wants. :yes:
So the other half of the deal (ie Tyrion actually joining the Night's Watch)... is MOOT. :yes:

It takes OVER A WHOLE MONTH to travel from Kings Landing to Winterfell.. and even longer to reach The Wall.
Jamie is supposed to remove his cloak... BEFORE... Tyrion actually ARRIVES at the Wall. (Keyword: Arrive)

The deal was not dependent on Tyrion...
'Arriving at the Wall'. :smh:
It was dependent on Tyrion...
'Leaving Kings Landing' :yes: (with the assumption that he was HEADING to the Wall to live out the rest of his days).

That's the key difference. That's how you know that Tywin was going to kill Tyrion.
Because he made
'no guarantees' (nor did he ensure) that Tyrion would ARRIVE SAFELY at the Wall. :rolleyes:

Tywin only wanted Jamie to remove his White Cloak... voluntarily.
Once that happens, all bets are off.

Once Jamie takes his White Cloak off... Tywin does not CARE what happens to Tyrion the DAY AFTER he leaves Kings Landing... or a MONTH after he's been gone.

Whoever was 'escorting' Tyrion probably would've killed him after a day (or 2) on the road. :yes:
Then they would've turned around & headed right back to Kings Landing. :rolleyes:

And by that time.... Jamie could do nothing about it.
Because he would no longer be a member of the KingsGuard. :smh:


Ummmm... no. He did not. :smh:

Tywin heard 'rumors' about Jamie & Cersei... and lived completely in denial.
He never ONCE thought ANY of those 'rumors' were True.

Skip to the 4:00 min mark.

 
No. You are reaching in several key points.
Tywin was in denial about his kids fucking.
Tywin was NOT going to kill Tyrion.
You think Tywin was gonna let Tyrion… ‘live out the rest of his days at the Wall’, huh?

Wait. Lemme guess....

It musta been when Tywin put Tyrion on the FRONTLINE of a War o_O… in order to KEEP HIM ALIVE.

Shheeeiiittt..... that was a 'dead giveaway' that Tywin had NO intention of ever killing him.

The Truth is... Tywin was just preparing Tyrion for his inevitable (one-way) trip to the Wall someday. :rolleyes:

Sure, I get it. :yes: The message Tywin sent.... was 'Crystal Clear'. :yes:

 
Just saying man, cats on here acting like she is the worst person on the show. In the first episode didn't Ed Stark cut off a innocent man's head for running from the white walkers, dude wasn't a coward or anything but if you see some zombies coming you better get the fuck outta there.

There are laws in Westeros dude.

If you take the black, you cant leave the wall.

If you do, the sentence is death.

Ned Stark didnt do it for any personal gain. In fact it brought him no pleasure at all. As lord of Winterfell he was all about duty.
 
U buggin idk why yall keep saying this Tywin woulda let Tyrion die with the quickness that's why he was fuckin his bitch even had the bitch testify to seal the deal
No he would not, Even though he didnt like Tyrion he cared about the Lannister name too much to let his namesake to die like that. Tyrion was suppose to be sent to the wall.

Yup, that's why Tywin sent his namesake to the Frontline of a War.... because its not dangerous at all, in the Vanguard. :smh:

Tywin cared so much about 'The Family Name'... that he sent Tyrion to the Frontlines... instead of standing out front himself. :rolleyes:

Lemme guess, because he wanted Tyrion to die a 'War Hero' :rolleyes: Right?

Sure, that makes sense. :D

Tywinn would have spun his death on the front lines as a testimony to the courage of the Lannister Lion name


BTW since Tyrion's marriage to Sansa was never annulled aren't they still legally married ?

Well you might be right... it's debatable. :dunno:

All I'm saying is... if that's the case... and the Lannisters are so courageous... why doesn't Tywin himself fight on the frontlines.. and lead by example? :dunno:

(I doubt Tywin would want everyone to think his own midget Imp son.... has 'more balls' than he does. :rolleyes:)

If anything, Jamie is the 'frontline' soldier of the family. :yes: No question.

Tywin is the... 'giving commands from the hilltop, in the background' type of dude. (Like Ramsay Bolton was)

And Tyrion is the... 'I shouldn't even be here on a battlefield'... member of the family. :yes:

So he's not the guy Tywin wants everyone to remember as being the 'most courageous' off the family tree. :smh:

That makes everyone else look 'weak as hell'.

(Because years later, people would say "Tyrion had all the brains AND all the heart, in that family. More than his punk ass Father & Brother who just stabbed Kings in the back." :rolleyes:)

Btw, Since Tyrion and Sansa never 'consummated' their marriage... it doesn't really count. It's like they were never (officially) married.

I think that's 'how it works' in Westeros. :dunno:

Margery Tyrell married Joffrey, but he died right after the wedding ceremony, during the reception... and nobody ever considered HER to be the rightful queen, instead of Cersei.

So you probably gotta finish the 'bedding ceremony' to make the marriage 'complete'.

Just my opinion.

Y'all bugging. Tywnn would have let Tyrion die if didn't go to the wall.

He wouldn't even save him from the moon door people.

Just cause he doesn't have it out for Tyrion like Cersi, doesn't mean he gives a fuck about him. The whole trial was proof of that
