(Anonymous) 2014-04-20 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)I definitely agree with this. As horrible as Joffrey was in the show, he was still miles better than book!Joffrey and Jack Gleeson gave an extremely enjoyable performance. I really hope he doesn't get type casted for the rest of his life because of this though. I believe in you, Gleeson!
In fact, I think most (with possibly a couple of exceptions that I can't think of at the moment) of the characters in the show are a lot more sympathetic than their book counter parts. I had a lot of trouble truly getting into the books because I just hated some of the characters so much (Tyrion, for example, is a million times better in the show). I think it would have been easier if I had read the books before watching the show but alas.

I watched the first 3 seasons before reading the books, so I can definitely relate. I liked reading most of Tyrion's chapters, but I'm the first to admit that there some iffy things going on with him and I definitely prefer show!Tyrion. I always had this feeling that GRRM was inserting himself into book!Tyrion, and... yeah, it shows, and not in a good way. Also, Dany. I had no idea how much the show had aged her up, so suddenly even the scenes that had seemed awesome in the show got a lot more awkward by the time I'd read the books.
I still think don't like Jon, though. He's just boring to me.

I think he has sort of openly admitted it. At least in the show I can see Tyrion as Tyrion, not as GRRM in the Dungeons and Dragons universe...

Well, that certainly explains a lot.
Also, yes. Yes to all of that. It's nice to like show!Tyrion without having to wonder which parts are the actual character talking and which parts are just GRRM's id running wild.
