Boardsies Decide - Game of Thrones Greatest Character

Olenna, she had more depth to her

Lady Haywire

I loved Olenna, I want to be like her when I'm old & dithery

Alfred Borden

Ramsay - excellent bad guy.

TheValeyard

Olenna, crafty auld bat who spoke her mind

Necro

Fabulous back and forth match this - they are tied at 7-7!!

duffman13

Has to be Ramsey, evil bustard

Yeah I'm going to go Ramsay too.

Olenna was good but scenes with Ramsay drew you into the show and had you looking forward to his next appearance.

Necro

Stu Redman decides this tie, Ramsay takes down the Queen of Thorns, but not without some serious support for the people's Wildcard. 9-7 the final score.

Necro

Match 8:

Which brings us to our final battle of this round. The Onion Knight takes on the sellsword for the final place in the last 8.

Bronn of the Blackwater





VS


The Onion Knight, Ser Davos Seaworth

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Davos, easily one of the best characters and potential outright winner for me

Whitters22

Bronn

seligehgit

Loved Bronn as a character although his arc weakened as the story progressed.

He gets my vote over the best onion smuggler in town.

salmocab

Bronn, he didn’t fight with honour.

I'm gonna vote Davos for a similar reason to me voting Tywin over Tyrion - There came a point in the show where the writers weren't sure what to do with Bronn anymore, and he almost became a parody of himself...IMO.

Collie D

Bronn of the Blackwater - Loved how he bounced off whatever character he was on screen with. Even Twyin got a bit of his cheek which I’m sure he wasn’t used to.

Brown is a great character but if I needed someone I could trust. It would have to be ser Davos. He gets the vote

PsychoPete

Davos for his trustworthy nature

Ser Davos. A good character thoughout. A kind soul.

duffman13

Davos the man from flea bottom! Stick him on the throne! Hero

RobbingBandit

Bronn a loyal sell sword something rare in a land without honour

Zaph

Ser Davos, a man of unfailing honour, which became increasingly rare as the story went on.

Ficheall

Two of my favourite characters. Gonna have to vote Bronn as he brought a little more levity to the show.

Necro

Ser Davos leads 7-5 with just under 20 mins left in this battle, time limit expires at 22.41

Necro

Nah, I'm gonna run the Quarters tomorrow evening, and Semis if they finish up in time.

TBF that's a quality line up.

The cream always comes to the top.

You'll be off to the wall or the black cells

Unlikely it'll be you, he's probably on ALSB's enemies list.

Missed the evening matches jaysus, some of ye love to destroy everything! That's said, delighted to see the finest Ser of them all get through and knocking that loveable but boring by the end rogue Bronn out.

Seems to be a recurring theme, you could say the writers ran out of steam on complex characters like Varys, Littlefinger and even Tyrion to an extent towards the end. Littlefinger and particularly Varys had poor enough demises in contrast to the background of the characters. Bronn was very good but sunk into the background due to the rushed nature of it all.

I'm still hoping he features more extensively in the books

Necro

I thought Bronn was quite weak after they had the whole Dorne escapades and they made him beg for his life from a bit-part character.

RobbingBandit

They ran out of episodes to fan out the characters development Varys still going strong in the books he's didn't go with Tyrion I don't see Arya killing Littlefinger in the books like she did as Sansa isn't sold off to the Boltons I really don't see Tyrion being hand of the queen neither he may end up advising her but the show runners butchered the story and spent way too much time on romantic nonsense and killing vital characters for ratings.

God, I had forgotten, thanks for reminding me

Necro

Quarter Finals will be kicking off in just under an hour.

Gonna raise the quota to 10 votes required to progress, or most votes after 60 minutes. As always, I will decide any ties that may occur.

PsychoPete

Necro

Jon Snow facing down the Cersei voters last night

Necro

Let's get cracking with our first showdown.

Two very different characters here but also two very popular ones. Who will get your vote though?

Jaime Lannister





VS


Arya Stark

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Jaime because he's the best, and Arya is far from it... Shoulda been Varys here instead of her
