  • Shadow200: The adaptations and changes that they are doing to Season 5. I get due to The Books size some things and characters have to be written out, I get it, they did some small parts in previous seasons but nothing too large. But the fact they are deviating so far from the books is insulting. For starters, Jaime is going to Dorne when he does no such thing. Ellaria is thirsting for vengeance wanting to kill Myrcella when she was the Only Sane Woman Aging Tommen up so they can have a needless sex scene, and having Sansa be married to Ramsay Snow and killing off Barristan Selmy. George, apparently bashing beetles with rocks is more important to you than having your work be accurately followed. I'll be sticking with the books from now on, if you ever get it done that is.

More than one moment.

I couldn't see any other moment by this person.

The issue isn't that the person had multiple entries, the issue is that his entry had multiple moments.

Ditto this unsigned entry I pulled:

  • The treatment of this troper's favorite characters, Asha Greyjoy and Jaime Lannister. Asha is renamed for silly reasons, and is wimpified so much that she can't actually beat Ramsay Snow, a brute who has no combat experience, while he's half-namked. She's also lost everything that made her appealing, from her status as Only Sane Man among the Ironborn, to her devil-may-care attitude during combat. Also, they had her Demoted to Extra, cutting her entire storyline despite her status as a main character in the books. And her hair is entirely wrong! Jaime, on the other hand, goes from The Atoner to someone who actually RAPES his sister, who he's supposed to he submissive to (since a large part of his character development is growing out of it), and took away his entire storyline to have him go frolicking in Dorne accomplishing NOTHING. Not only that, but without the Valonqar prophecy, or Tyrion's revaluation to him, his turning on Cersei won't be nearly as satisfying.

  • hillwilliam: Ramsay Bolton is a walking Dethroning Moment. In other works, he'd be acceptable, but Westeros is the kind of universe where boring, invincible characters don't exist. While it can be lazy to compare the adaptations, Book!Ramsay is at least more realistic (or at least a flawed character) - he's ugly, a mediocre swordsman, clever only in the sense he's smarter than people he's actively terrorizing, and none of the other lords in the North respect him because he's an insane violent monster. In the show, he's the complete opposite: he's an expert swordsman, a tactician whose brilliance exceeds Tywin Lannister, handsome (portrayed by Iwan Rheon), a sex god, and commands utter respect in the North. The writers' clear love of him has turned him into a Villain Sue and a walking Diabolus ex Machina, who exists to show up to destroy/degrade other characters (including the deeply ridiculous sequence where he and twenty men silently and flawlessly burn all of Stannis' supplies, necessitating Shireen's burning). Ramsay's vastly expanded screen presence compared to his book incarnation and the lengthy, lovingly shot sequences where he engages his psychopathic tendencies come across as a little creepy on the showrunner's part.

"The entire character" isn't a moment.
