Tywin Lannister is the CEO of terrible parenting, yet everyone respects him because he invented “strategic ruthlessness.” He literally says “a lion does not concern himself with the opinions of sheep,” while having a son who likes sheep’s clothing a little too much. His downfall? Getting shot by that son on a toilet. That’s right—the most powerful man in Westeros died taking a dump. Shakespeare could never.
And then you have Rhaegar Targaryen, who started a continent-wide war because he fell in love with a woman who wasn’t his wife. He’s the original “it’s complicated” relationship status. The ironic part? He was a brooding poet who could sing and fight, yet he’s remembered for starting a fire that burned everyone he loved. Classic.
Joffrey Baratheon is what happens when a 13-year-old gets absolute power and a crossbow. He’s a walking tantrum with a crown. The surprising fact? He was actually a decent archer—too bad his aim focused on unarmed women and puppies. His death at his own wedding, choking on wine, is the only wedding in this show that actually improved the mood.
