Hated Joffrey

>hated Joffrey
>was glad when he got killed off
>kind of miss him now
>realize he wasn't the prime evil everyone made him out to be but just a massive dick
>most of the other cast have schemed, conspired, killed, or directly contributed to more deaths than Joffrey
He really wasn't that bad

Congrats, you're a fucking pleb.

yeah but he was a kid and that arguably makes it worse

/got/ ->

He literally did nothing wrong.

Abusive relationship.

>t. Daenerys fan

Do most people really unironically want "evil" characters to get killed off in series? I hear this shit all the time but I've never related to it. If a character is well written + acted then I couldn't give less of a shit if they're a bad guy. It's autistic to become emotionally involved in such a way

Sometimes it's satisfying to see a smug "evil" character get his shit kicked in

Joffrey was not well written. He was just annoying.

The show killed off every good character ages ago, we know this.

this really annoys me 2bh

i mean joffrey is a dick but

>is like 14 years old
>only crimes are treating the starks like traitors which from their view they ARE (how would you react if someone said your family was inbreeding cucks?) and being a twat because he had possibly the worst parents possible

>miss me yet?

fuck off joff

I liked Joffrey. I mean, you are supposed to hate him. His was a whiny bitch at first, but turned into a complete psychopath after ascending the throne. Might have been the best acting (not actor) on that show, or at least in the top three.

Yeah he's suprisingly accurate to what kids who think they are in positions of authority are like. I mean, these people are often a wonderful combination of stupid, ignorant and sadistic.

>It's autistic to become emotionally involved in such a way
>good stories and characters are supposed to get you emotionally involved
>this is autistic

>top three
Who else even comes close?

This is the shitty series version of missing GW Bush

He was a psychopath though. He didn't do terrible things for political reasons like most other characters. He just enjoyed inflicting pain.

Joffrey was a total cunt, but he was still a better king than his brother Tommen. The Faith Militant would never gained power the way they did if he had still been ruler.

Margaery was good at manipulating Joffrey and probably would have mellowed him out eventually if her mother hadn't gotten him killed.
With her and Tywin around to keep him in line Joffrey would have been an okay if cruel king.

>He didn't do terrible things for political reasons like most other characters.

Most likely he grew up not understanding the political reasons and just thought that causing other people pain was just normal ruler behavior.

>He was a psychopath though
he was raised by a man who beat him, glorified violence, cheated on and beat his wife, and an incenstual narcissistic cuckoldress

he had a BAD FUCKING DECK

in the book the only psychotic things he does is cut up a cat to impress his father, and chop of ned's head (probably to defend the honor of his mother, also his father just died of cuck)

Joffrey really hurts other actors in this series, he is the best "upcoming" actor, and he is way better written than Ramsay

He was a simple man who had simple needs. Better than a scheming jew

It's a shame the kid retired.

t. edgy Sup Forumsestinian

He killed a hooker. Why do people forget this? It's the same thing with Theon killing the millers kids, do you people just block this stuff out?

Does he not kill that prostitute in the books?

Comparing a hooker with 2 kids.
What politician hasn't killed a hooker?

only in the show and only because normies need their dose of dude tits lmao

PRETTY sure in the book he just whips the shit out of them. probably gets the whole beating women is okay from his FATHER

you think bobby b never slapped a ho?

>In 2014, Gleeson confirmed he would be permanently retiring from acting after concluding his work in Game of Thrones. In the same interview, he stated that while he had previously been interested in pursuing academia, he had since 'gone off that idea'.

>In 2015, Gleeson starred in the puppetry shows Bears in Space created by his theatre company Collapsing Horse

JUST

No, Tyrion thinks of sending him a white but doesn't follow up. Joffrey oversees the death of prisoners, but I can't recall him killing anyone who wasn't strictly guilt free of anything.

Charles Dance

nice blogpost with a snowflake opinion you contrarian cunt.

>he killed a hooker

why are we supposed to care? because she had nice tits?

>be impressive for you age
>don't even want to act
>all the Stark kids want to be actors and might as well be staring at the camera and holding their scripts

>game of thrones
>kill off all the likeable and competent characters
>people still watch this shit

I like how Jon was able to bash a 200lb man backwards off a horse that was barrelling towards him at 15mph.

Why did cia kill him?

he literally drank a cup of poison

He mutilates cats too. The idea was that he was a sadistic psychopath. Sure other characters in the show have done some pretty bad shit, but usually they don't do it for just pleasure and actually have reasons for doing it, sometimes even permissible ones.

Took you some time OP

>He really wasn't that bad

>having a shit king is not bad
Nigga, you DUMB.

>He mutilates cats too
ONCE to impress his father and he got beat within and inch of his life for it

>they don't do it for pleasure
Uhh... what are they doing it for then?

>It's a "Joffrey arms the smallfolk with dragonglassbolt crossbows, eliminates the feudal system, defeats the Others, and ushers in an age of prosperity for all of Westeros" alternate timeline

He was a huge cunt. Huge spoiled asshole.
But still miles more compelling than Ramsey.

>hates filthy, skilless, useless "gib food" scum in his city
>hates butterfaced whores and kills them with crossbow bolts

he's cool

Best timeline

Miss the actor. The kid knew how to act. The cast is full of talentless hacks now.

Watch the show and try to pay attention dumbass.

He kill *A* cat, once, when he was very young

He did kill a bunch of hares, but that was only to test his crossbow.

Tyrion gave it to him in the first place to distract him from something.

>He really wasn't that bad
You're a fucking idiot.

The first episode everyone just seems so lazy, complete phoning it in.

It was a rhetorical question, buddy. People always do what they want, and people always want happiness, I.E. pleasure.
Robb went to war because it made him feel good, not necessarily the act of war itself but the way it made him look infront of his country, people and family. Jon fucked that eskimo because it made his ween feel good.

Get it?

>It's autistic to become emotionally involved
Autism finally letting us know that art affecting emotions, regardless of whether said art is good or bad, is autism. Have we reached peak autism now?

>It's a "Peter Dinklage phones it in" episode of Destiny
>It's a "Dinklage's acting was so bad they completely replaced all of his lines with another voice actor" episode of Destiny

yeah sure your logic is sound except for the fact you're a fucking retard

Don't forget literal shit being presented as high quality premium HBO drama™

So gritty and whatnot

The point when Joffrey died is almost exactly the point when the show nose dived into crap.

All Tommen wanted to do was keep fucking Margaery

How long have you had this disability?

about as long as I've been fucking your girlfriend you fucking faggot

Try again dumbass.

To be fair he had SOME good ideas, like a Royal Army instead of relying on levies. It would need Westeros to be significantly reduced in size though like when the HRE remnants centered around Austria, and even it'd be a problem like how the Imperial Austrian Army was pretty shit.

"no"

Well he might not have done anything objectively illegal, especially since he was the king, the idea is that he's a twisted fucking psychopath.

He's sadistic, misogynistic, he tortures animals, and he obviously takes pleasure in being a total goddamn dick. You're supposed to hate him, that's the way he's written. He's basically a younger, less competent version of Ramsay Bolton.

Martin Shkreli also did nothing specifically illegal, but that doesn't mean you're supposed to like him.

That said, if you ever believed Joffrey was the 'big bad' or 'prime evil' of the show, you may have actual brain damage. That was never the idea.

Man, a lot of shit from a few seasons ago just seems like small peanuts now.

I miss Viserys.

A hammed up performance can either go horribly wrong or wonderfully right, never really just "eh". Despite him being a dick, Viserys was ridiculous in all the right ways.

Ranking the best villains:
1) Tywin
2) Joffrey
3) Ramsay
4) Cersei
5) Walder Frey
6) Littlefinger. Too bad They turned him into Sansa's bitch.
7) Roose Bolton. His book character is better, In the show he was overshadowed by Ramsay.

Can't rank Euron yet. We need to see more of him.

Ramsey is the better edge lord

he also maimed a butchers kid for playing around with arya, then proceed to attempt to actually kill arya in season 1, before having the dog the jump in to save her.
And he had Ned killed and sparked a war that ended up killing thousands more. There is not a single character that has more deaths attributed to his actions than Joffrey. The entire story arcs of every character that interracts with Joffrey is them trying to mitigate or manage the destruction and chaos he brings. Joffrey literally does everything wrong and was probably as close to a pure "evil" chracter as GRRM could ever write.

But yeah, le reddit maymay "he did nuttin wrong xD"

...

How so? The fact he's a kid makes him a little more forgivable because it's pretty clear that if Robert, Jaime, or Tywin actually tried with him and if Cersei wasn't such an evil cunt and if he didn't spend all his time with Sandor "fuck the world" Clegane all day he might have come out a lot differently.

Best actor deffinetly. All the main characters like Jon Snow and Daenerys are laughably shit acted compared to him. Heard he gave up acting afterwards to go back to studies, guess I cant blame him.

What a stupid opinion, kys

Being a product of incest doesn't help either. Joffrey was born unstable.

His parents were twins. His grandparents were first cousins.

If you want to blame Joffrey for the War of the Five Kings because he let Baelish manipulate him into executing Ned then you might as well go one further and blame Robert for being a shit father who died too early and couldn't keep his own affairs in order. And at that point you might as well go one further and blame Rhaegar for not properly overseeing the war against Jon, Robert, and Ned. And at that point you might as well go one further and blame Aerys for executing Brandon and Rickard then demanding the kids in the first place. On and on until you get to Aegon, the First Men, Bran the Builder, etc.

And even then if you wanted to only follow the butterfly effect a few steps and blame Joffrey for all those deaths in this way he's not even top of the list, Dany has far more under her incompetent belt.

ed sheeran should've played joffrey

so no one is ever accountable for anything ever right? You're fucking stupid user. Joffrey's direct actions lead to bad things, not indirect shit like being a bad father or executing someone 20 years ago you sperg

Aerys executing Brandon and Rickard led to Robert's Rebellion which (combined with Aerys being a dick to Tywin) led to Cersei marrying Robert which led to Robert being king which led to Ned being Hand which all led to his execution and Robb's rebellion. Aerys is directly responsible for it all.

You're throwing all the blame on Joffrey because he's a little cunt and it's easier to do that but that's narrow-minded. There are many reasons for the War of the Five Kings (not least of which were Northmen being retards, Cersei trying and failing to be Tywin, Tyrells being Tyrells and Renly being a gullible twat, and so on) and throwing it all on one character is fucking retarded.

I think it's an obvious conclusion.

I agree with this desu. The majority of people want the "evil" characters killed off as to protect the characters they love so they aren't put in harms way but they fail to realize that "evil" characters are what makes it interesting.. take Lord Baelish for example, one of the most intriguing characters there is but everybody wants him dead, same went for tywin lannister

Joff lacked ambition and cunning. If he had those he'd be Ramsay tier.

Clearly the incest was accelerating and at some point the only thing one can do is go fuck yourself.

In fairness he was the king, there's not many places ambition could take him.

>stupid
>egomaniac
>would be nothing without his daddy
>cruel
>bad ruler

Was Joffrey based on Drumpf?

>Makes the tough decisions
>Unfairly criticized by stubborn establishment leaders
>Understands the importance of walls for keeping out invading murderous hordes of invaders
Clearly Jon is Trump

His mother, grandfather, and wife essentially wielded his power using him as a puppet and had ambitions beyond sitting on the throne and overestimating what the king can get away with. But he'd often just throw tantrums but lack follow through on his threats.
He was a sadistic little shit but if he had the mind for it that sadism could've done more damage than beating up hookers.

Didn't he force a hooker to shove a bedpost up another hookers snatch then kill her with a crossbow?

that's in the TV show to kill off a made up character

>People who aren't the king are more ambitious than the king
Yeah because they're not the king. He had zero reason to be ambitious, but he should have been more cunning and less of an inbred retard.

>Well this is Sup Forums, not /lit/

Nah m8, he was pretty fucking evil. There was nothing redeemable about him.

firing bolts at city folk that came to the gate asking for food.

yep, i was wandering why "joffrey is /ourguy/" isn't a thing on Sup Forums.

normies want all bad guys to die. Then the show goes to shit because we are just left with meme tier characters with no foils and nothing to struggle against. Joffrey, Roose, Frey, and Tywin have been replaced by mute ice zombies.

Wasn't he like 14 at the time? Also isn't it normal for underage kings to be more or less a figurehead until they are old enough?

He was a sadist and he was incapable of compromise. He was definitely going to make a horrible mess of things if he stayed king and had a sizable reign.

Joffrey is one of those characters you hate, but who you nevertheless get hyped for everytime they show up on-screen. They´re the kind of guys who are uncontrollable, but not just by being maximum edge. Sometimes they do go full edge. But sometimes they´re brooding, or they do nothing, or they hold in check by someone else, or they decide to corrupt another character. They keep you on invested.

Compare that to Ramsay who was just all the edge, all the time. Ramsay was probably just as violent as Joffrey, but the fact that he always did the most horrifying things possible took the tension out of his scenes. Him interacting with Roose were the most interesting scenes, and even then he ultimately just stabbed him and that´s that.
