Nami Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I used to find Jon Snow chapters boring until I found R+L=J theoryHe became one of my favorite characters after that. I started to look at him in another way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maegor the Cuddly Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I agreeEither let him meet up with Dany already or get him out of the storyI was waiting for that to happen in ADWD and it pissed me off that it never did"I'm gonna go to Dany now.""Nah, I'm gonna totally send this other Targ kid west. It'll be hilarious.""Nah, I'm going to meet another dwarf and totally not bang her.""Nah, I'm gonna be a slave.""Nah, I'm gonna be a mercenary."And as for Jon Snow, I've always viewed him as more of a vehicle than a character, he moves the plot along, but little else. Given the Wall is the most, in the long term, important front of the story, it needs a vehicle up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delta dragon Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 anything Dorne or Iron Island's. Actually loads of normal great POVs stuck in the mud... Tyrion, Arya. We generally need another red wedding to move things along if these guys cant progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florina Laufeyson Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 LOL, Jon the Plot Device. Uhh no. Dude is very much his own person. The definitive Plot Device character is Aegon/Young Griff. That guy exists to move the plot in interesting ways.Most boring POV? Hai Damphair, how ya doin? This guy is like watching paint dry. Areo Hotah has the benefit of being The Fly On A Dornish Wall, so his chapters dont smell very bad. Damphair? Omg. What is this guy's purpose? Hes hardly a good fly on the wall, and he does nothing to move the plot. Bleh. Arys Oakheart was pretty pointless too. Victarion gets a special mention for being dumb as a post and hardly interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nezzer Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I have to agree that Jon is a boring character. I really like most of his chapters, because interesting things happen on them and there are other great characters that share those events with Jon (like Edd, Stannis and Tormund), but as a character he's pretty boring and uninteresting.

Maegor the Cuddly Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I didn't mean to say that he wasn't his own character, but because I don't think he's there because of his personality. Tyrion's personality is very very very prevalent in his PoVs, and Ned's honor and political ineptitude bleeds in his chapters. What does Jon have? Ned's honor plus.... A chip on his shoulder from being a bastard born. So why's he there? To show us the Wall, to give us a frame of reference and move along the story.

Nami Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Jon is there for us to think he's a bastard and insignificant and then BAM R+L=J and more drama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florina Laufeyson Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 K. Rationally thinking person with subtle nuance = boring.Yet for some reason Sansa isnt being mentioned as "eyes to the more interesting characters". :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's that he's the obvious hero. The one true good guy of the story. He only does good for the sake of good. He's one of the least grey characters of the story, and that makes him boring to me.

Tolsimir Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Damphair and Daenerys have the most boring chapters for me.A special mention goes to Victarion, his chapters arent really boring but he is so dumb... I was really surprised so many people liked Victarion in that thread about who is the biggest *badass*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie Manderly Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Bran Davos, Sansa. Arya in Dance... I wanted to poke my eyes out I was so bored. I am enjoying Bran more on my reread tho.DWD had Aryas most interesting storyline by FAR. What did you like more about her SOS and COK storyline?

Rhaegarsjoy Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 all the ironborn so boring, dorne thru areo i think was a mistake he's like davos 2.0 ( but not as cool) trying to make a boring man look interesting.but if i had to pick one i would say Brienne her chapters on excruciatingly slow, i know shes not suppose to find sansa straight away but she should have had 1/3 of her chapters cut as nothing happens but describing every leave and speck of dust to detail.

Holdfast Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I found Dany's chapters hard work post AGOT, and her POV in ADWD just about did me in.Samwell (mostly)Damphair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhatIsDeadMayNeverLive Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Areo Hotah - zero personality and even less wit.Damphair was painfully boring as well, except for the kingsmoot chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
