Stark_Naked Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Strong Belwas! Pooping in the general direction of an army takes some balls from a man who ain't got any!!! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Horse With No Name Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I really can't believe no one has brought him up yet. HOT PIE His name alone is qualification enough to become king of westeros. Not to mention his many talents: He's absolutely fearless, a real badass with a blade, he's the best tactician westeros has to offer AND, most importantly, he can bake pies. You'll see, GRRM has great plans for this character. Edit: Ok, real vote for JAIME. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FM Baelish Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 In the first three books, Sansa was my least favorite POV to read, with Arya being my fave. AFFC changed that..so I suppose my favorite character is Petyr Baelish..he made Sansa POVs interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antisocial Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Hey if its not to late I'd like to add my vote. I really like Danys story and she is one of my favorites. I also really like Bronn for some reason. Hmmm, whats really not to like about Tyrion But then again Jaqen H'Ghar is one of the most intriguing characters Ive run across so far. Sandor one of the most tormented characters in the series, hes my favorite... except for one little person Arya Stark Shes my #1 favorite. A remorseless cold-blooded killer Any doubts she has about her actions she quickly squashes. Training to be an assassin? Nope. Training to kill like an assassin. Pray you favorite characters names never crosses her lips at bed time. So far the Gods have answered her prayers...soon she wont need them. So, yeah you can say I like her story arc. :) (sorry just had to have some fun with this post) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvengingAryaFan Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Presuming El-ahrairah had it right, the apparently final total is: Arya Stark- 33 Jaime 'Kingslayer' Lannister- 30 Tyrion Lannister- 26 Jon Snow- 13 Sansa Stark- 9 Sandor 'the Hound' Clegane- 8 Bran Stark- 8 Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish- 7 Ned Stark-5 Oberyn 'the Red Viper' Martell- 4 Bronn- 4 Brienne of Tarth- 3 Catelyn Tully/Stark- 3 Tywin Lannister- 2 Theon Greyjoy- 2 Daenerys Targaryen- 2 Stannis Baratheon- 2 Vargo Hoat- 1 Garlan 'the Gallant' Tyrell- 1 Ramsay Bolton- 1 Beric Dondarrion- 1 Dolorous Edd Tolett- 1 Rhaegar Targaryen- 1 Davos Seaworth- 1 Renly Baratheon- 1 Podrick Payne- 1 Brynden 'the Blackfish' Tully- 1 Robert Baratheon- 1 Cersei Lannister- 1 Randyll Tarly- 1 Varys- 1 Jaqen H'Ghar- 1 Arthur Dayne- 1 Strong Belwas - 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Monte Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I can see why everyone picked the people they did on this list, I may not agree with some but they're definitely notable and enjoyable characters.... except for two. How can 3 people like Catelyn and 9 enjoy Sansa? Both these characters drive me up the wall. I definitely like Arya and Jon (I guess that explains my displeasure with the other two) but I've got to hand it to the little man that can: Tyrion gets my vote, the man really is a giant in my perception and I enjoy how his mannerisms, thoughts and actions all play out. Definitely a "twist" to the normal fantasy character. Also probably the best Hand I've read. He went against the grain, but plays the game smartly while maintaining his morals. His arc is realistic because he is NOT perfect by any means. He makes mistakes just like the rest of us and well his physical appearance offends some. Yet time after time I find myself rooting for the "little guy" in this tale even though I still harbor grudges from the beginning towards his family. I liked Ned and what he stood for, he was oddly entertaining but too cliche and Martin was a genius for killing him.... It pissed me off but sure made the series stand out.

Lady Blackfish Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 What's so hard to understand about people having differing opinions? Just because they're minority opinions doesn't really invalidate them, last I checked. People enjoy them because they suit their tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Monte Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Who said they were unvalidated? I just asked why they liked them? moreover, what about them appeals to those readers because maybe they have picked up on something I missed. Hopefully it'd help me enjoy their PoVs more or give me a way to sympathize with their plights instead of going "not another Catelyn PoV". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szar Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Tyrion is by far my favorite. I'm a little surprised Arya and Jaime are so high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-ahrairah Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I am pleased the Ninja trounced the Dwarf thus far. In the multi-vote thread many of Tyrion's votes probably came from second or third choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpe Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Arya is popular because she is the only clever person in Stark family who actually does someting other than dying,escaping,afraiding etc... she does not give up. I am sure before AFFC Jamie would be as popular as his father but last book changed him dramatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnCersei Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Sometimes it's just so hard to distinguish between "characters I enjoy reading" (Sansa and Arya), "great characters" (Sandor and LF), and "characters I'm really really attracted to" (Theon). However, only[b] Jaime [/b]belongs in all three categories! Kingthlayer/Stumpy/Goldenhand the Just FTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flying mosquito Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 A difficult choice, I like more than a dozen characters. If I had to pick just one, my vote is for Tyrion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxus Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 i'll go with tyrion... i love the way he deals with people giving him shit, instead of gratitude... also, his "many people will rather deny the hard truth than face it" speech is one of the highlights of the series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
