Characters you find irritating

Quiet Girl · 09-10-2013 12:00PM #1

In the process of re-reading the books an watching the tv series. Im watching series 1 and I never actually noticed how some characters can be annoying. The character I find most irritating has to be Maester Pycelle, I find myself nearly screaming at the laptop for him to shut up!
So what characters irritate you guys?

10-10-2013 09:45AM

Yeah he's pretty annoying. Sam annoys the **** out of me to be honest.

Professional Griefer · 10-10-2013 11:26PM

Shae is fairly awful.

mutley18 · 10-10-2013 11:55PM

Out of the females it's between Cersei and Gilly, and out of the males it has to be Theon the cockless twat.

...and that yellow dragon really gets on my tits aswell, noisy prick.

As for characters I love, Hodor is my hero.

huberto · 11-10-2013 12:02AM

Hodor I think of as superfluous - might as well be a donkey or an ox, all he does is carry. Shae on the other hand is gorgeous. Interesting back catalogue as well.

Sansa is a tool

I was gonna say Sansa too. Maybe (hopefully) the next book will change my opinion of her but as of A Dance With Dragons she's still a toolbox.. TV Jon Snow is a bit of a knób but he's probably my favourite book character.

Turtyturd · 13-10-2013 06:28AM

Catelynn Stark for me.

Season 1

The last thought that went through Ned Stark's head must have been 'thank the old gods I don't have too put up with that miserable woman a second more'.

The one bit of enjoyment I took from the red wedding scene was the fact that she was gone but that didn't last long.

Barna77 · 14-10-2013 09:51AM

Bran and Jojen, bromance of the forest

nibtrix · 14-10-2013 12:05PM

Jojen Reed - yawn!

kksaints · 14-10-2013 09:01PM

Dany. Got very annoying in the second series by just shouting "where are my dragons" over and over again. Also extermely smug and irritating look on her face in the third season.

14-10-2013 09:04PM

Yeah the Reeds aren't great to be fair. Hodor keeps all those scenes in check.

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 15-10-2013 01:57AM

I'm sick of Bran both in the show and the books.
I wish he had died in the very first episode.

Also Brienne is the most boring character ever created.

The Bogman · 15-10-2013 10:28AM

From the books, Sansa and Bran. Sansa especially, used to hate turning to a new chapter and seeing that it was hers.

Mr.Prodston · 15-10-2013 11:13AM

I'm really interested to see where Bran's actually going in the books. Early on it was tedious at times but in ASOS and ADWD I started to enjoy the few chapters we got. Same with Sansa in AFFC although that may be down to her being a familliar face.

I also really liked Brienne as her story progressed.

I loved the Bran's chapters in the 1st & 2nd books, then again in ADWD the stuff in between wasn't great at all even with Hodor hodoring about.

PopePalpatine · 21-10-2013 12:41PM

Sansa so far, but in TWoW I can see her figuring out how to play the game of thrones.

lala88 · 22-11-2013 08:23PM

Cersei, Joffrey, Viserys, Dany, Bran, Catelyn Stark, Sansa

podgemonster · 24-11-2013 03:35AM

Tommen, wish he was more like his older brother.

And she's a complete askhole: someone who asks for advice then ignores nearly all of it.

Sansa is on the list for me, not so much in the last season as she wised up to a few things but in the first season, "moi prince JOFF-rey!" grrr, wake up you stupid girl! The way she pronounces his name bugs the bejesus out of me.

Sonics2k · 28-11-2013 03:47PM

Dany's Eyebrows irritate me the most.

Ugh, I know, I found her annoying in the books too sometimes. But that "where are my dragons? My dragons! Where are they?" got especially grating in season 2, Emilia Clarke is playing the role very earnestly and her lines don't help.

Though I was definitely warming to her by the end of season three, she can pull off that Arse Kicking Battle Barbie thing a lot better than I would have believed

storker · 12-12-2013 01:10PM

Joffrey.
Catelyn Stark.

Catelyn is a bit too convinced of her own "goodness". Joffrey is just annoying. He's not even a good baddie unlike say, Commodus in "Gladiator".

Have to disagree with you on Joffrey. Jack Gleeson has done an amazing job as portraying him. So much so that people hate him more then any other villian on tv or in movies. That's how good a job he is doing

Vision of Disorder · 12-12-2013 01:29PM

I loathe Danerys. For all the reasons outlined above and also because she's a smug, self satisfied monster with a misguided sense of entitlement who's shaping up to be no better than her brother or father.

My brother despised her to the extent that a few books in he just started her chapters completely, justifying the decision to himself with the vague logic that it was all happening on the other side of the sea anyway so he'd pick up what he needed to know through the other characters for the time being.

K4t · 03-02-2014 10:19PM

Danaerys
Sansa
Sam&Gilly
Shae
Tyrion

Graham_B18C · 03-02-2014 10:32PM

Dany was one of my favourites in the TV show but (book 5 spiller)

in ADOD she has the worst chapters, she does nothing and I kinda hope she gets killed and that young targarian lad (forget his name) takes the throne

Raedwald · 04-02-2014 11:57AM

Sansa's chapters in the books bore the life out of me. Find them really difficult to read.

Bran's can drag a bit as can Sam's but I can see them being two of the most important characters in the final two books.

Nerdlingr · 05-02-2014 04:31PM

Arya. She's too cool for school. Everything just falls into place for her, someone needs to teach her a lesson!

Turtyturd · 05-02-2014 06:00PM

Like her dad being killed, or her brother dying, Mycah, Syrio, her mother, losing her sight?

Yes, she has everything and it's so easy for her :cool:

You show an incredible lack of regard for spoilers but you make a good point.

Anything she puts her hand to she becomes brilliant at it. Its all too easy for her character .She doesnt seem to struggle with anything, when Arya takes up

becoming a stealthy ninja!!

you just know she going to succeed. No-one ever agrees with me but I prefer sansa's character. Most of those things mentioned in the spoiler happened to Sansa as well; her character is portrayed as a light headed girly girl who doesnt live in the real world...yet she's learning the whole time about "the game" from her immersion into the lannister court and from

the master himself, littlefinger

.I find her gradual realisation of the truth of the world around her much more interesting than going

blind one minute then a few chapters later being able to see again.

qwerty1991 · 03-03-2014 12:33AM

I find Bran and Sansa very boring. I didnt realise so many people disliked Dany! Love her

Those things happened to Sansa because she was the moron who went to Cersei and told her of Ned's plan, giving Cersei the opportunity to totally screw Ned over. Had she kept her mouth shut, both her and Arya would've been safely on their way to Winterfell and things would've turned out differently.

December2012 · 09-03-2014 08:59AM

On my first read I blasted through a lot of Danys chapters just to find out what would happen - not much is what I thought!

Same with Bran - not with Sansa (there's always something interesting going on in her chapters, and my favourite one in the series so far is her one in ASOS.

Then I read these http://meereeneseblot.wordpress.com/ and re read the books. I now find Danys chapters fascinating for what they do to the reader (they make us frustrated on purpose and make us want her to unleash hell).

And Bran on a re read (now that you know what happens to him) is a lot more enjoyable. There are so many subtleties and back story.

So while I enjoy all the characters for the role they have in the story, the one who I want to smack is Joffrey.

Because who doesn't want to smack Joffrey?

FunLover18 · 09-03-2014 12:41PM

Dany!! Jesus I hate her chapters in the books. She's so naive and completely lacking in conviction.

The Pheasant2 · 09-03-2014 12:50PM

Find Bran, Sansa and Arya chapters incredibly boring.

The Reeds are pretty annoying too, especially Jojen.

That little ****Lord in the Vale too...

Sure, i agree, but thats part of a sequence of events started by

John Arryn being poisoned by his wife at the behest of littlefinger

...a line can be traced back to whoever you want to blame.
Seeing your father's head on a spike and knowing you're the cause of it? I'd hazard a guess at it being no walk in the park.

TheIrishGrover · 10-03-2014 01:34PM

I actually like Bran and even Sansa. Well, when I mean "like" I mean "find their arc interesting". I mean, they've been sh*t upon from a height so you can't blame them for being a bit depressed(ing).

It's Sam though.... Sam and Gilly. Oh GOD. In a series of books of unrelenting grimmness ANY Sam chapter has me reaching for sharp objects. And, during their trip, I was close to abandoning the book and series altogether. If I hear the work "Craven" one more fecking time....
