it seems that gay men are typically 'all for jamie'

I'm a straight guy, but he is classically handsome. I'm not an un-handsome guy myself but I'd swap looks with him for a day.

He looks like your classic generic douche. Definitely doesn't look like a guy who needs to resort to banging his sister.

He really does look like a natural born live action disney prince.

I still think if you really stare at Arya she looks like an alien.

Well yes, he really is an IRL Disney prince, but mostly just a terrible character. 👆

The series has been terrible since season five.

Seven might have been the worst yet though, but at least Cersei has become so hilariously stupid and unstable she's fun. I shot milk out my nose when she blew up the phucking chapel, holy shit what a babe. 😂

This is Cersei.

What makes him a terrible character? I get he's had some D&D departures from the book that have led to regressions in terms of his relationship to Cersei but that doesn't seem like enough to throw out everything and declare him terrible. He's still had great development (mostly seasons 1-4; otherwise he's been the same character since 4 unless I'm forgetting a solid amount after the 2 year hiatus). Truely, I'm open to solid arguments. I'm on my rewatch (early season 3) before the last season and he steals every scene he's in. He's been one of the best characters in the show since the first season IMO

Jaime raping his sister ruined his entire arc.

Looks like typical fantasy schlock, there is no doubt this show lost the spark that once made it special. But I enjoy fantasy schlock so I'm still looking forward to it.

Hah. First thing he does, is push a child to his death. Not really anything to ruin.

Jamie is a conflicted monster who alternates between trying to do the right thing, and slaughtering civilians and innocent bystanders. A bit of rape on another horrible monster (or an innocent) can't ruin that.

It’s called a “redemption arc”. He starts off as a villain and progressively becomes less villainous as the series progresses. The show, however, has completely mishandled it

Jaime was always on the road to redemption, you could always think that he couldwould be better. but yeah he kinda lost that when he just couldn't get over his sis

Unless the point of the rape was an intentional "This was never a redemption arc" flag.

It doesn't matter if it was intentional or not (it wasn't BTW D&D have stated they didn't consider it rape), it ruins the arc he has in the book.

Ah, I see.

I'll just say this as a Transformers fan: Megatron had an incredible redemption arc in the comics. He stood in a mass grave, and started down a path of regretting everything. Even saved an alternate universe from religious fundamentalists who turned Cybertron into a Primus robot weapon.

If they messed it up, I'd be disappointed too. They didn't.

But at the end, Megatron had to own what he did. I don't think you can really be redeemed from some crimes, and walk away into the sunset. He was still a terrible person, up to the end.

you can thank hbo for the rape. They do love their unnecessary rapings

I just hope they switch it up from the predictable formula of "Lets just kill all the characters people like lulz"

Seemingly impressive characters surviving, is not necessarily good storytelling; why these guys infallible?

I expect season 8 to surprise me. I hope that it will rectify mistakes of season 7.
