Batman Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 When turning a book and series the size of asoiaf in a tv series various characters are going to have to be changed and certain aspects of characters omitted. Which charcter do you find yourself liking more in the series than in the books?Sandor Clegane is potrayed as less snarling and outwardly hostile in the series and Tywin Lannister has been portayed in a more human light. Littlefingers love for Cat has been more pronounced and there was actually a scene in season one where I felt bad for Joffrey! That scene where he is holding Roberts hand as he dies and Robert laments that he should have spent more time with him, he looked like he was going to cry.

Zeromus Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Balon Greyjoy (I think the actor sounds like David Attenborough) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Soprano Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Tywin. I like him a lot more after his conversations with Arya, he just seems more human. Charles Dance is a great actor, he portrayed him perfectly, and he has that " grandfather " look, which makes him look more kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A bowl of brown Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Yeah definitely Tywin, Charles Dance is just brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Turtle Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Shae - bored me to tears in books, though I suspect it's partly because Tyrion only see women as walking cunts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buster Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Tywin is my favourite in both the books and the show. Charles Dance is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Lilac Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Tywin. I liked him in the books, but in the series he's becoming one of my favorites. Dance did a brilliant job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danm_999 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Seriously? How is Stannis or Roose better in the series than in the books?If you watched the Blackwater episode that just aired, Stannis was an absolute badass in the Siege of King's Landing.

LordBloodraven Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Cersei from the show is more interesting than the one in the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pomp & Happenstance Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I'll have to agree with GrrM that Osha definitely brings more personality to the T.V. series than the books, he's even gone as far as to say that "when I (GrrM) bring Osha back, I'll have to make her allot more interesting."Other than that, Tywin seems to be getting more air time than when compared to the books, and hasn't disappointed me yet.

bloodymime Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I'm not a book purist, I've actually come to like the changes in the show. I've already read the books, they can't possibly match them so why not just enjoy seeing something different?That said there's nobody I've seen where I just though wow that's so much better. I'm not a fan of the sanitizing that goes on in the show. Clegane looks like the ex hippy school teacher you might have had as a kid. Bronn looks like he's in danger of nodding off at any moment, and Stannis comes off as pretty petulatnt and wishy washy, at this rate by the time we see Tarly he's going to say something like 'dude mellow out or I will strike you down with my most excellent sword. dude.'

Manderly is Boss Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I felt like they messed up Littlefinger in his scene with Cat, the part where he clearly lies to her about having both her daughters, when Arya has disappeared and Littlefinger knows this seemed to conflict with his total infatuation and perhaps love of Cat and for me crossed what I perceived to be perhaps his only true love. Also portraying Tywin as warm smiles and the aging old sentimental did not sit well with me, when I think of Tywin I think of the man who mistrusted the sound of laughter and only smiled on his wedding day and lived in constant vigilance of threats and duty to his House at all costs. However a few characters have good TV counterparts, such as the insight into Yoren and his badass scene. I also feel Jorah Mormont has been portayed really well and am interested to see how he unfolds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
