Moon-Pale Maiden Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I was so sad reading the "saddest moments" thread, I thought it would nice to submit your favorite moments when characters major and minor get retribution for the wrongs the've suffered.My favorite: When Arya kills the tickler:The Tickler backed away. Arya could smell his fear. The shortsword in his hand suddenly seemed almost a toy against the long blade the Hound was holding, and he wasn’t armored either. He moved swiftly, light on his feet, never taking his eyes off Sandor Clegane. It was the easiest thing in the world for Arya to step up behind him and stab him. "Is there gold hidden in the village?" she shouted as she drove the blade up through his back. "Is there silver? Gems?" She stabbed twice more. "Is there food? Where is Lord Beric?" She was on top of him by then, still stabbing. "Where did he go? How many men were with him? How many knights? How many bowmen? How many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many? is there gold in the village?" I just wanted to stand up and cheer. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florina Laufeyson Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Yeah that one was awesome. Arya finally gets the Tickler for all the people who died and were tortured. I always felt it was them she was really doing it for. "Edd, fetch me a block." Ohh Jon...I think this was the moment where he became my ultimate number 1.

Winterfellian Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Definitely Jon chopping Janos's headI will also add:Mirri Maz Durr's vengeance for what they did to her people and her later speech to Dany: What is life when all of the rest is gone.I also liked when Arya left the Hound to die and told him "you should have save my mother" while thinking that maybe some real wolves will find him. One of favorite Arya moments.Not exactly revenge but I like the irony of Jaime losing his hand to the bloody mummers when it was Tywin Lannister who left them loose in the realm without imagining that they will cost his favorite son his sword handJoffrey dying on his wedding just as Robb had died during Edmure's weddingWhen UnCat first hanged the Freys in ASOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

assjfjgjsgjljljglgjfjsduar Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Jon beheading Slynt was very satisfying, even if it was actually for insubordination. Joffrey's death was pretty fitting, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy watching the Freys go down. But I think some of the best acts of vengeance are still coming: Bowen's payback for Jon's assassination, the northmen getting their hands on the Boltons and Freys, the Brotherhood and/or other riverlords taking back Riverrun, Sansa's payback to Littlefinger when she learns the role he played in the war.

King Daemon Blackfyre Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 (Posthumous vengeance)"Elia Martell, Princess of Dorne. You raped her. You murdered her. You killed her children." Prince Oberyn’s spear flashed like lightning and found the gap in the heavy plate, the joint under the arm. The point punched through mail and boiled leather. Gregor gave a choked grunt as the Dornishman twisted his spear and yanked it free."ELIA OF DORNE!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florina Laufeyson Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Also when Manderly serves the Frey pies to the FreysYES! YES! I loved that! "Now play the one about the Rat Cook!" Ahh Manderly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Arryn Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 TBH, most of these give me the creeps.A young girl engaging in rage enduced stabbing frenzy, a cold serving of cannibal pie, etc. Maybe I'm just not enough of a horror fan; to me these have always made me slightly less enamored with aspects of GRRM. I also hate most mob movies, btw, often for similar reasons.Arya's in particular; she was already showing a lot of psychopathic patterns, and I haven't enjoyed her dehumanization. I experience similar lack of investment when reading about Ripley, for those in the know.Oberyn's, though...that was cool, until it went othwrwise.

Lion of Judah Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Yeah that one was awesome. Arya finally gets the Tickler for all the people who died and were tortured. I always felt it was them she was really doing it for."Edd, fetch me a block."Ohh Jon...I think this was the moment where he became my ultimate number 1.Oh yeah, the indecision of this is what made it awesome. First they were going to hang him and then Jon says wait! I can see Dolorous Edd's reaction in my head like "...are we doing this or what?" and then off with his head lol. I loved it!

King Daemon Blackfyre Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Oberyn's, though...that was cool, until it went othwrwise. :thumbsup: It was all going to so well...I also hate most mob movies, btw, often for similar reasons.(Disclaimer: joking) until I read this...whaaaaaaaaat? How can you like ASOIAF (even though I'm joking, I personally see many, many similarities between mafia/gangster works and ASOIAF, which is one of the main reasons I like these books).

Some Random Peasant Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 My favorites so far are 1) Jon cutting off Janos' head, 2) Arya stabbing the tickler and 3) Tyrion killing Tywin, "where do whores go?". Loved every one of those Chapters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovethyjaime Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Purple Wedding was wonderful to read. Jon taking janos' head was also quite good. Tywin not shitting gold was terrific. But i'm waiting for the karma that is coming to one Ramsay Bolton's way. I feel like he is going to suffer some terrible death. Joffery got to choke to death. Gregor was poisoned and lived in tremendous pain for a few days or weeks(i can't remember). Ramsay is going to suffer a much worse death then either of them, because i think it is safe to say that he is the root of all evil in these books.

Lemore Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Not a death but I loved how while Cersei schemes and does her best to paint Margaery as a whore ends up getting her self locked up and eventually shaved and stripped bare infront of Kings Landing.........poetic justice.

Valyrian Spoon Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 maybe he will be flayed alive :drool:Burned at the stake seems more likely I think. Though Ramsay is such a despicable character whatever happens to him won't be satisfying considering all the truly awful things he has done.

Scipio Africanus Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Unfortunately there aren't that many satisfying revenge scenes. Most characters who do horrible stuff just die...anti-climatic and largely "by accident". So Roose will probably drown while crossing a river or something and Ramsay will get killed by a falling tree. I hope though Ramsay has a meeting with Jon's Longclaw and Roose with Stan's pyres of course.1) Jon excecuting Janos Slynt - I lol'd.2) Arya killing the Tickler - found the scene sad but satisfying3) Oberyn making Gregor his bitch - till Gregor kills Oberyn that is. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valyrian Spoon Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Oh Brienne against some of the remnants of Vargo Hoats free company was pretty satisfying. Got to salute a sword wench with a Valyrian Steel blade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsManderly Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Not so much revenge as comeuppance but I just loved it when all of Cersei's hair-brained decisions backfired on her: Aurane Waters ran off with the ships she had built by defaulting on the Iron Bank loans, the Iron Bank therefore got pi**ed off and is now supporting Stannis, the Kettleblack she set up to incriminate Margaery incriminated her instead and... most of all... her supperficial treatment of Jaime after he came back from captivity ("oh you are no longer as pretty and you don't have a hand -- well then I don't like you so much any more") resulting in his "frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" response to her plea for rescue. Good stuff!The one I am awaiting with a bit of trepidation is what unintended outcome will emerge from the Qyburn cesspit - have a bad feeling that Tommen may somehow end up the unwtting victim of his mother's stupid dealings with Qyburn. Which would be too cruel, even for Cersei... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
