Arthur Dayne's Honor Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 The Daily BAMF is a topic where we discuss the most bad ass characters in ASOIAF and what made them so bad ass. One's definition of bad ass can vary, whether a characters bad ass for his moral code, skills, intellect, or even moral failings and mistakes it makes no difference.

I will not have such fouling my lord uncles rivers. Let them feed the crows.One of the Captive: Mercy, sire. I killed no one, I only stood at the door to watch for guards.Robb: Did you know what Lord Rickard intended? Did you see the knives drawn? Did you hear the shouts, the screams, the cries for mercy?Captive: Aye, I did, but I took no part. I was only the watcher, I swear it...Robb: Lord Umber, this one was only the watcher. Hang him last, so he may watch the others die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Alysanne™ Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I remember that part it was badass but I kinda felt bad for the watcher I mean he was just "watching" :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Isobel Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Epic! Robb had so much potential it's a shame he died so young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Dayne's Honor Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 I remember that part it was badass but I kinda felt bad for the watcher I mean he was just "watching" :Di can equate that to a soldier in Afghanistan being ordered along with his squad by their squad leader to shoot up a village and just watching but not taking part. He at that point would have the authority to strip that leader of their command but to just sit there and watch as he massacres people when he could have stopped it, means he is just as responsible and should suffer the same punishment.

Jalapenohitchhiker Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I liked Robb, though I'm not sure I would consider him a BAMF in terms of fighting ability. His ability to command respect was pretty awesome though, even if he did make some critical mistakes in his leadership. Not to mention he would ride into battle next to a freakin direwolf! Now that's badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mladen Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 And what is the point all BAMFs across the world should take from Robb's life and death? "When you're good to mama, mama's good to you" It makes no sense, but I like it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Dayne's Honor Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 Oh I definitely mean meI thought your BAMFINESS was obvious to all so there was no need. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mladen Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Oh I definitely mean me Well, you deserve one, without any doubt... :) you mean you as in YOU or do you mean Stannis cuz Stannis already had one but it got locked for some reason that was never explained. How about 345 678 546 876 threads on the same topic? That might be a reason it got locked... And, btw, if I don't get BAMF thread, I would be satisfied with being mentioned :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jalapenohitchhiker Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 not being a great fighter does not mean one can't be considered a BAMF I know, I still consider him a BAMF. Just emphasizing that it was not for his fighting ability, the same way I consider the Queen of Thorns a badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a complete different level of badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin the Mighty Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Sorry, this was nowhere near as badass as the exchange with GreatJon in GoT, that took some balls, since Robb hadn't even become Lord of Winterfell yet, let alone King in the North and had won zero battles. That was a complete different level of badass. Oh yeah, Robb was pretty awesome throughout the series: how he takes the lordly duties when cat is unavailable, going to holdfasts near winterfell, killing the wildlings, calling the banners, greatjon argument, KITN!!!,battles won, with a direwolf by his side, the hanging lines and more... But he makes one mistake and suffers defeat, he is pretty much Hannibal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Aerys the Just Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 i can equate that to a soldier in Afghanistan being ordered along with his squad by their squad leader to shoot up a village and just watching but not taking part. He at that point would have the authority to strip that leader of their command but to just sit there and watch as he massacres people when he could have stopped it, means he is just as responsible and should suffer the same punishment. It's worth pointing out though that Westerosi soldiers almost certainly wouldn't have such authority over their lords. So this Karstark retainer was pretty much screwed either way. Robb's conversation with the Greatjon was pretty badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
