Theda Baratheon Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Loved it. they're not letting us forget how much of a little turd joffrey is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~DarkHorse~ Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I actually took the statue to be the fight against the direwolf Nymeria in season one. The line you quoted is exactly what Cersei says after she explains the story is going to be what he said happened. Not what actually did happen. Oh, gosh I forgot about that! The only encounter he's actually had with a Direwolf is when he got bitten and cried like a little girl....but yeah, of course he can hunt them. :lmao: :lmao: Here's a picture of the Statue and then his pose right after- http://cdn.uproxx.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/joffrey-statue-650x364.jpg http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/n2WFs1wAvGI/0.jpg I don't think it looked that old.

iheartseverus Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I feel as though they added the statue to make it seem like Joffrey is here to stay. Actually, the Unsullied over at PTV have been positing that the statue means just the opposite. They note that we haven't seen any statues of people throughout the series, except for statues of dead people--Baelor, and the statues of dead Starks in the crypt at Winterfell.

Warg Arry Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I actually took the statue to be the fight against the direwolf Nymeria in season one. The line you quoted is exactly what Cersei says after she explains the story is going to be what he said happened. Not what actually did happen.My apologies. It was my intention to make the point by point connection. The incident with Joffrey and Nymeria . Leading to the advice from Cersei that I quoted to the statue and Joffrey's "truth". Which then transitioned to the scene with Joffrey standing similar to the statue and then making the claim that he won the war. Again Joffrey's "truth". For me it all tied together nicely and it gave me the feeling that Joffrey is taking the victory as his own. Since the Starks are the ones that made made him feel vulnerable and weak. They actually saw him for what he is. It's personal for him. It's funny that he is so insecure about it that he goes so far as to have that statue made.

TheEvilKing Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 It was the best part of the episode. Gonna miss the little critter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mother of Mini Dragons Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 The statute was the only point when we paused the show and rewound on the first viewing b/c it was such a WTF moment. Joffrey, Joffrey, Joffrey... I don't think there has ever been an easier villain to hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erkan12 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I laughed aloud. The whole think is hilarious: "I broke Stannis, I won the war!". :agree: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser PeaCH Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Great stuff! Him standing over a defeated wolf (call-out to his brush with Nymeria and Cercei's words "the truth will be what you say it is") is perfect. I didn't catch that it was a wolf the first time around; I assumed they posed him over a boar such as the one that killed his "father". But wolf of course is much better.

Jairion Lannister Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 It was good since it was exactly the sort of thing Joffrey would demand to be made. Plus, like another poster said, when it's torn down eventually it would represent the demise of the Lannister reign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khal Shaggydog Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I definitely didn't see the wolf on the first viewing, wow. Too bad he didn't actually have to face a direwolf again in real life, that would've really been something to watch - "Stop - I am the King! You cannot eat me! NO, you cannot bite my throa....." Same goes for Tywin. Dude really should have been faced down with poor little Arya, while Nymeria and a couple dozen on her minions materialize from the woods behind her. Nymeria then pounces and pins Tywin down, while she kills him with a slow, smooth neck stab. Too bad they both got the old "poison and death from a direct relative" treatment.

Vespa Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 It was the best part of the episode. Gonna miss the little critter. Same here. Love to hate this wee shit. I didn't notice a wolf though, somehow it looked more like a bear to me :blushing: Still, nearly fell off the sofa laughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojosh Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I thought it was too entirely in character for joffrey but I did like his scene with Jaime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seneti Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I loved that statue! Had to keep myself from laughing out loud and waking up my roommates. And I can't wait for next week :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angmar Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Betcha as the season rolls peasants will destroy that statue, while Cersei goes crazy for it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSpottedCat Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I actually paused and rewatched the scene several times. It was so funny.. Especially when they transitioned to him doing the exact same pompous-ass pose in real life. I also loved the little details on the statue: the king's favourite crossbow, his absurdly small asshole-y crown, him stepping down on the wolf. Obviously he thought they made him look grand and fearsome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Damian Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Joff will go down in cable/tv lore as one of the most hated villains in history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonCon's Red Beard Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I hope it becomes a running gag in GoT. Then, a Tommen statue, then Mace, Aegon, Dany, and every single person whose ass sits on the throne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHOSTSTARK Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 i thought it fit perfect with who Joffrey is and how he rules. hides behind others in danger but when theres no one around hes so mighty ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Fevre Dream Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 That was one fugly statue. Did they even try to make it a decent one, or as I suspect, it was just meant to induce anger in us, LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roxWolfox Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I would love a Tommen proudly holding Ser Pounce statue. I love this idea! :D After I wiped a couple of tears from my eyes, my first thought was, "Sheesh, that's a pretty small direwolf. For shame, Joff...I thought it would be the size of a horse!" Then I just hated on him for the rest of his scenes (the poor actor). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
