micswitch Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I think Im most emotionally attached to Hodor and Tyrion. Hodors death would just suck because the dude is just great for tension relief and he is just the loveable idiot. Im going to have "Hodor?" engraved on my tombstone. Tyrion because he brings a certain intelligence and cunning that many of the other characters lack-yes even Ramsay Bolton and Tywin are dismal in Tyrions shining brilliance.

S John Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Tyrion for me too. I have a hard time picking a favorite character, but Tyrion is way up there. His chapters are a joy to read. They have intrigue, action, comedy, and I sympathize with the character. Poor old Tyrion constantly gets handed the short end of the stick yet remains one tough nut to crack. I think I could read a book just about Tyrion. Dolorous Edd would be another one that I'd be unhappy to see get killed off, but I imagine he's pretty safe. I could see him being the last man in Westeros if it came to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I read his parts I always imagine him sounding like Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh. I would like to see the Hound live just because he is one of the characters that I misjudged and truly hated in the beginning but Ive grown fond of. I always love it when an author can make the unloveable- loveable or at least bearable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zparanoid Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I don't like it when badasses such as Tywin die because the story becomes more boring for me in general...other than that there aren't many deaths I can think of that would really piss me off...I'm waiting for the day when GRRM makes good on his "no character is safe" (or did I just make that up?) promise and kills Jon/Dany/Tyrion.

automne Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Tyrion is a many-sided character with still a great potential. He's too useful for the story, no way Mr Martin will kill him. I'd be really pissed if the decimation of the Stark family continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Ent Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 If GRRM does with Tyrion what I think he will, we are going to be a lot more angry than if he were just killed. I assume that Tyrion will [i]become[/i] the twisted little monkey demon that everybody already takes him for. Dany will reject him, and Tyrion will become what his father was: a Machievellan monster without any morals. He will become one of the main antagonists, we will [i]hate[/i] Tyrion, and we will hate GRRM for it. If the author manages to pull that project off it'll be his greatest achievement: an evil overlord [i]we understand[/i]. GRRM will succeed where Lucas failed, because his Tyrion will be a believable monster, which Anakin Skywalker never was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoë Sumra Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I was already pissed off enough by Oberyn's death (second favourite ASOIAF character). My favourite character is Jaime. Enough said. :cry: HE (EH?) - nice thought. Well, not nice-nice, not at all, but clever-nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongoose Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Ent Heureux, I hope you're extremely wrong, but can see how you might turn out to be extremely right, about Tyrion. Before I read ASoS, my brother mentioned in passing that Tyrion wasn't in AFfC, which he was reading at the time, so I was on tenterhooks the entire time I read it, praying that Tyrion wasn't about to snuff it. When the Red Viper got crushed by the Mountain I was sure that was it. The thing is though, since I was half preparing myself for him to die throughout ASoS, I'm not sure that I'd be pissed if Tyrion died now. I'm not sure that any single [i]death[/i] would piss me off at all. Sadden me? Absolutely. But I'm more likely to actually get pissed off over stuff pertaining to the living. For example, if Arya turns out to be permanetly blind, or if Euron succeeds in taking control of the dragons, or if Littlefinger ever has sex with Sansa (just thinking about that possibility makes me want to spew). However, I do sincerely hope that Sansa, Arya, Jaime, Tyrion and Dany all make it out alive. I'm not terribly optimistic, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be pissed if Aray died, he already faked her death twice, I don't need to see her die again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I especially like the HotPie example: "I am DarkPie....and I am of the Night." That's gold, Jerry. Gold. Namorath, I completely agree on Davos. I'll definitely be pissed if GRRM kills-off Davos in the manner the Cersei chapters suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow's Eye Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 As for POV characters, definitely Tyrion. I recognize that Jaime doesn't exactly have a bright future, and his death will come as no surprise, but damned if I won't miss reading his POV chapters as well. As for non-POV characters, well, on second thought I guess I really don't care who dies. The Hound, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
