characters that are not controversial


Blood of the Flagon

Recommended Posts

Barristan maybe?

Definitely controversial. He's been criticized for standing idly by during Aerys' reign, for shielding Dany from the truth about said reign, for changing his loyalties after the Trident (unlike e.g. the ToJ three), for rediscovering his true loyalties just in the moment he's been fired, for being in over his head in Meereen, for not standing with Ned in the matter of Dany's assassination and Cersei's regency coup. I don't think all of these criticisms are justified and none of it makes him a monster, but there are certainly many readers who eye him at least somewhat critically.

On the other hand, I don't think that one can say anything bad about Elia Martell. Not only she is described as a kind and witty woman, not only she sufferred a terrible death, not only her husband humiliated her by choosing another woman, younger and more healthy and more beautifu than her, but she is probably the only person, with the exception of Jaime, who was not disgusted by the sight of baby Tyrion. Elia was probably one of the nicest people in the books.

This. Justice for Elia! Even though pretty much everyone who contributed to her suffering is now dead... still... Justice for Elia!

This guy here pretty much screwed the Starks during the WOT5K by sending out the entire capital garrison (except for Alebelly and a handful of other losers) to chase after a small troop of reavers led by Dagmer Cleftjaw over 250 miles away, leaving Winterfell to be captured by twenty men. A very incompetent action. I agree with the rest of your list though.

Old Nan. Elia Martell. Maester Aemon and Luwin. Hodor. Tommen and Myrcella. Jeyne Poole. Shireen and all the children at Dragonstone. Rhaenys and baby Aegon. Rickon. Lady and Summer. Septon Meribald. Hot Pie. Meera Reed. Edd.

Then there's Bran, Samwell, and Brienne- They're on the same vein as the above, but their chapters are mostly thought of as dull.

And the definite villains are Joffrey, the Mountain and Ramsay. No one argues that. :lol:
