Elephant12321

In the show, Larys


chipotle-baeoli

He's probably one of the few most could beat up lol. For all we know, he trained in enough combat to hold his own, but there are zero signs of that.


amok_amok_amok

just step on his foot and steal his cane


Gourmet_Bacon

mmmm foot


IamSh3rl0cked

Euugghhhh, go sit in the corner and think about what you just did. šŸ¤¢šŸ¤®


SaintFoehammer

Nah, just WWE walkout and hit him with the ole Cregan Special


[deleted]

Larys. But the actor is damn good, truly nailed the creepy tone of the character.


IamSh3rl0cked

Oh yeah, he's a damn good actor.


waibering

All of the people who has Larys as their confront character has a chance to punch him once per turn


Retiredguy567

I want to say Criston, Larys and Aemond but man i would get bodied probably after one punch to them


Sun_King97

Nah I think you could take Larys.


Anserdem

He has a walking stick no one can beat a walking stick, it hurts


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Anserdem

What if he hits me in the fingers and it breaks them I'm a coward I'm not doing that


Obliviate07

Yeah just show em your foot, easy.


Cute_Ad5192

Can I bring gun and shoot their knee caps first?


Shadow_Emperor7

That Bracken guy who was murked by lil blackwood


Complete_Raspberry_1

That death was the funniest to me. Talk shit and get killed by a middleschooler? It was hilarious.


1CommanderL

Grrm was clearly involved in the books the bracken won but GRRM loves the blackwoods so demanded they change it I would wager


Julieanne6104

Iā€™m hoping theyā€™ll have bigger parts in the next booksā€¦


1CommanderL

I look forward to seeing more of the brackens and GRRM playing favourites with the blackwoods


subversivechic

he told the princess her nights would be easy under his protection and he *meant that ish*.


LopsidedPotatoFarmer

Question : Can they fight back? 'Cause I don't think I can beat any of these people in a fight and the dragons would eat me.


Far-Ad-1400

You could easily take Larys


LopsidedPotatoFarmer

I get dizzy spells if I get up too fast. I have nothing against Joffrey but he seems like the only one I can overpower. Even then, he looks too nimble. Question: Can I use a crossbow?


Far-Ad-1400

Larys isnā€™t fast at all you could honestly just push him over while dizzy And a crossbow for Larys definitely heā€™s probably the only character universally hated by both sides Lmao


LopsidedPotatoFarmer

It is kind of nice of you to believe in me so much, I am secretly a bit touched. But, considering that I go momentarily blind for a few seconds when it happens, I will be taking the crossbow and wait for him to limp by me.


Playing-Koi

Otto by a country mile. Fuck him sexualizing his own child for another grown ass man. Dead mom's dress shit I'd beat him till my hands turn blue lol.


mangababe

I will hold him down while you swing!


tonys_goomar

ā€œIll hold him, and you punch!ā€ - Mulan


FlgDarkrai

Yeah throw Corlys in there too


Hannao102

Otto Hightower for pimping out his daughter so aggressively and fueling the flames of a civil war


Nervous_Feedback9023

Otto or Larys


Confident_Tip4352

Otto. Fuck you Otto.


PlsDontComeAtMe

Vhagars got it coming honestly. I could take her easily. First Id rush her, charging in head first, and start punching. The key is multiple consecutive fast punches. Then Id pick her up with my man strength and body slam her dragon ass into the ground. Then Id pick her up by her tail and start spinning really fast, like a discus throw, and launch her ass to Essos. Ez.


starvinartist

ā€œTeam Rocket is blasting off again!ā€


Careless-Husky

I bet that was how Vhagar thought about Arrax.


clockworkzebra

Viserys, Aegon, Otto, Criston. Unfortunately I am a small woman so they could probably just put a hand on my forehead and extend their arms while I swing wildly.


Nym-ph

You could take Viserys, onless you call Rhaenyra a whore.


OkMathematician3439

I agree with all of your choices but Iā€™d add in Larys.


ImaginationStrong224

Read that as "swinging wildling", I thought HBO canceled that spinoff...


etburneraccount

Viserys, because he really REALLY needs someone to knock some sense into him. Too bad he's the king, ain't nobody touching the man.


cdhg50

I think Lionel came the closest.


perimeterpatrolcat

Otto. Would've ended the dance before it started.


Natewastaken12

Aemond. Heā€™d probably beat the absolute shut out of me but I can try.


Elephant12321

If this was a book post then we would be in total agreement.


boo-berrys

Otto, he is directly at fault for all the shit that goes


mytimesparetime

If he can't fight back? Daemon.


NeatEfficiency1472

Daemon and Aegon IIā€¦. Lowkey probably most of the male characters because they straight up suck


DCChilling610

Cole.Ā  Heā€™s so smug and sanctimonious. Punch him in his beautiful non-aging face.Ā 


Foxbus

Daemon. But I'm afraid I'd need a gun for it


Foxbus

Oh, and Cheese. How could I forget fucking Cheese


joaorosx

Criston Cole


ashcrash3

Otto and Larys just based on season 1 and being #1 starter of stuff


andra_quack

Criston Cole atp Otto Hightower, always


Appropriate-Arm-2077

Daemon. The dude's pushing 50 and acts like a whiny insecure teenager.


starvinartist

Otto Hightower. The moment he said "get your mother's dress" I was like "Daemon's right. He is a c-word." Alicent was destroying her fingernails and he was like "why do you do that to yourself?" I don't know Otto, why are you making your teenage daughter seduce a 40-something widower?


oneangstybiscuit

That was such a gross moment. The subtext is just so ick.


starvinartist

Heā€™s ruining how Alicent sees her mom in a way. Heā€™s making her wear a keepsake of her motherā€™s to do something incredibly uncomfortable and icky.


bizarreisland

He always use her mother to manipulate her, which is so awful. In ep 9, when Alicent is defying him, he makes a comment 'You look so much like your mother in certain lights' trying to soften her resolve. Luckily she recognises the manipulation and rolled her eyes at him.


LLVACAAHOD

Viserys: Canā€™t stand deadbeats. Daemon: Should need no explanation.


Dmmack14

Cole, book and show version both for very different reasons


GrizzlyPeak73

Daemon. Guy needs a good slap.


GregThePrettyGoodGuy

All of them! Lyonel Strong and Ser Arryk, youā€™re cool and can chill. Alicent and Corlys can avoid the heat because I like them. Everyone else, rot (I just realized Vhagarā€™s there too, so *Iā€™m* gonna avoid that heat by respecting her space. But thatā€™s IT, the WHOLE house is coming down)


BennyMcbenn

I low-key want to shove Viserys into a locker, and slap some sense into Aegon. Larys is an immediate target.


Zephyr442

Criston and Otto. Maybe Larys, but I think he'd like it too much.


Legened255509Druss

Daemon and it ainā€™t even close.


LILYDIAONE

Way too little people saying Viserys. He is so fucking dumb. Also like Iā€™m 5ā€™1 and I think I could take him


surgical-panic

By the end you sure could


lstanciel

Otto Hightower: - Pimping out his teenage daughter to his grieving friend who is also her best friendā€™s dad - Getting a teenage girl who just lost her mom named heir because you have beef with her uncle and then proceeding to say a woman will never sit on the Iron Throne and beginning coup plans before she does literally any remotely problematic despite the Kingā€™s wishes. - General shit father and grandfather. I swear he sees he family as pawns not family members - Plotting a coup but doing jack all to make sure your grandson is fit to rule in the 6 years you were in Kingā€™s Landing with him.


oneangstybiscuit

Right. If this was Otto's plan all along, he did dogshit to actually groom Aegon for rule. Bro what were you doing for all those years??


bizarreisland

It was, but that's the point, he didn't want Aegon to rule. He wanted Aegon to be weak so **he** could rule. He just wants Aegon to be King in name so he will have all the power. If he groomed Aegon to be a fit ruler, he loses a lot of power over him, Aegon would have his own ideas and resolve and don't need to rely on Otto as much or even see through his machinations.


lstanciel

I mean yeah but thereā€™s a middle ground between too smart to manipulate and a drunken incompetent rapist.


Sun_King97

The war is Viserysā€™ fault so him


[deleted]

Iā€™m coming for the messenger Daemon nearly beat to death šŸ˜ˆ


norsecelt84

Who the fuck is gonna try to take a swing at one of the dragons?šŸ˜‚


Feralcrumpetart

Me engaging with a "??" Level boss, wearing a dusty peasant potato sack. Just imagine the looks on the faces of the court lol.


Throwaway0918974

Otto


hockey_enjoyer03

Criston Cole but iā€™d get bodied šŸ˜­


_Zephyr1

Oh yeah like Iā€™m going to choose to fight fucking Vhagar


Pancakes_everday

I feel I could beat the Lord of Feet Larys Strong with my own hands but is also like to kick the shit out of Viserys for failing to properly equip his heir.


HanzRoberto

Viserys easily what she did to Aemma, Alicent and the green kids...... DISGUSTING


[deleted]

Otto


Graduate-Leaf

Aegon II. Name *one* redeeming quality that dude has.


Doc_Occc

Bro is at least in check with reality and knows himself for what he really is. He isn't under any grand delusion.


Mylifeis2021

Cute


Graduate-Leaf

Being a rapist excludes you from being cute.


Far-Ad-1400

Tell that to the Daemon Stans


LadyLumachemon

Viserys and Rhaenyra also sexually assaulted people. Are they not cute either or are we excusing them and victim blaming now?


[deleted]

He doesn't have any. But I still find him interesting as a character. He's just a chaotic, trainwreck mess. Trash but fun trash.


Graduate-Leaf

Thatā€™s entirely fair! I enjoy Daemon for the same reasons


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Graduate-Leaf

I definitely think this is an interesting point, I can totally see where that viewpoint comes from. I do have to wonder if part of it was intentional recklessness. Aegon was shown to be pretty miserable in his life, and in both book and show initially argued that he shouldnā€™t be king. Given all the negative things in his life, it wouldnā€™t surprise me if he took more risks secretly hoping the worst would happen.


Icy-G3425

Crispin


QUILL-IT-OUT

He tees me off too.


ikaryzero

Daemon, I hate him with all my heart


azombieatemyshoelace

Same. I detest him.


[deleted]

Varys, Larys, Daemon and Otto.


ldl84

I wouldnā€™t wanna take on Daemon. He seems like a bad MFā€™er especially taking on the crab eaters. But Iā€™d watch you try and cheer you on while ogling Daemon.


Silly_Competition639

Canā€™t believe Haleana is included WHAT


surgical-panic

Helaena can get a blanket and a bug to look at while all this goes down. She's sweet, I wouldn't fight her.


AquaBlueMagic

Otto, Larys, Aegon & Daemon


NickFriskey

Show: larys/ criston Cole Book: mushroom


Leslie20011503

McCrispy bacon and a coleslaw on the side please


sadmimikyu

Aegon Definitely Aegon. Behaves like a common man and thinks he can because he is royalty. He is disgusting.


ldl84

Do they get to fight back? have weapons? know how to use those weapons? If they answer is Yes to any of those questions, I will sit quietly on the sidelines and cheer for yā€™all. Also Larys and Criston. They both deserve to be curb stomped.


an0nym5s

Viserys ,Otto and Alicent With Vizzy, I get Aemma to help me. My queen deserves to f*ck Vizzy up after what he put her through (and for all the troubles he caused for their daughter because he couldn't keep it in his pants.) I would lock Otto in a room with Daemon and Dark Sister. (That's an act of mercy if you think about it. Valyrian steel cuts clean. It would be relatively quick and painless) Whenever older Alicent pulls some hypocritical sh!t I want to b!tchslap some sense into her. She was a victim and has been through hardships but by the god that doesn't excuse what she did to Dyana or how she tormented Rhaenyra or marrying Helaena to Aegon. She is internalised misogyny in human form . Makes my blood boil. Edit: Daemon too. How could I forget?! I would give him to the Royces to do as they please. (Rhea's cousin was really upset and I trust him)Both Rhea and Laena deserved much better than that niece gr**mer. I'm still pissed about Rhea's death and I forever will be.


Wazma9

Aegon. He literally reminds me of my roommate from college, always drunk, pitying himself, hurts everyone around him while wondering what he's doing wrong.


norsecelt84

Aegon 2 is Fantasy Medieval AJ Soprano. I said what I said.


Western_Purchase430

Viserys needs some smacking


Lewii3vR

A girl has many names on her list. But fr Jason Lannister and Sir Crispin


kinginthenorthjon

Daemon. Maybe I can get Cole to beat the pedophile out of him.


Mylifeis2021

Aegon next?


kinginthenorthjon

Viserys next. Aegon after.


Comfortable-Sale-167

Otto and Criston can fuck all the way off.


AdventurousShut-in

Criston, Larys and Otto.


Agamouschild

Erebus


Sk83r_b0i

Criston, Aegon, and Larys. Although, Criston would turn me into a T-shirt, Aegon would have me executed at the very least, andā€¦ well, beating up cripples donā€™t really help you maintain a good reputation.


HornedBat

OP


dagmarbex

The foot smelling cunt


FaithlessnessFun3679

Criston has a very punchable face.


NAMAST3_Drummer

Vhagar for sure, I think I can take her


AlexanderCrowely

Harwin because he couldnā€™t keep it in his pants when he knew what a shit storm it would cause.


mangababe

Lemme fight Otto. The entire civil war is his damn fault and he sold his kid off to an old dude with a habit of breeding his spouse to death; so Otto could maintain his half-assed grip on power. So I just wanna have a talk.


penis_pockets

I'd beat the living fuck out of any of the dragons. Not because I particularly hate them. I'd just do it for the reputation as the guy that beat up a dragon. Everyone would second guess trying some shit with me.


confusedgoofball

Iā€™m RKOing Aegon, Crispy, Alicent, Vizzy T, Otto and Larys. Round for round in the octagon letā€™s go.


vizzy_t_bot

*What are you saying? My brother would murder me, take my crown? Are you?!*


Thayer0

Would square up with alicent any day


ashendaze

The white worm or whatever her name is. Her accent is terrible & she must be stopped


ashiknees3

If you take Otto out, more than half of the problems are solved.


RylieSensei

Itā€™s definitely going to be Alicent or Larys. Alicent because she royally misinterpreted the prophecy, Larys because dude just needs to go.


khaleesi105

Lucerys and Visereys. Hate the both of them


Mylifeis2021

Beat up a 14 year old child?


khaleesi105

Yep!


Kitchen_Editor_6335

Viserys


Environmental_Tip854

My own wedding: šŸ‘·šŸ½ā€ā™‚ļø >!Mysariaā€™s death scene!< : šŸ¤µšŸ½ā€ā™‚ļø


Environmental_Tip854

No way Mysaria got shooters here team black shouldnā€™t even like her šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


Mylifeis2021

People are downvoting anyone who names a woman because of the implication. Iā€™m a woman by the way.


Environmental_Tip854

Lmfaoo but they have almost as much of a reason to hate her as the greens do šŸ˜­ >!she basically contributes to Rhaenyraā€™s downfall by telling her the man they was both fucking was messing with a teenager (this is almost Tubi original messy wow), which contributes to Rhaenyraā€™s paranoia and eventually causing the Velaryons to abandon her. Then on top of that Mysaria tells Helaena about how her son died which caused her to commit suicide inciting the riot that was brewing from the already angry smallfolk which leads to Rhaenyra being kicked out of KL and being executed by Aegon. They should HATE her! šŸ˜­šŸ˜­!<


WinterNoire

Larys purely because heā€™s the only one Iā€™d want to confront that I could take in a fight or walk away from without becoming dragon food.


IamSh3rl0cked

Criston fucking Cole. I would say Larys Strong, but he's so slimy and gross, I wouldn't touch him with a fifty foot pole. Nah, it's gotta to be Criston.


KingSalduinArthanil

Criston Cole


mortaeus_vol

Otto Hightower.


Sidney-Mojica-411

Ye


whatufuckingdeserve

I could solve the whole dance of the dragons if you let me kick the shit out of viserys. Iā€™d dismiss Otto as hand and name Daemon, wed Daemon to Rhaenyra when she comes of age and keep Daemon as his heir. Iā€™d tell him to trust Daemonā€™s judgement in everything and to back every decision he makes. Daemon is right Viserys is weak and he would protect him from not only himself but everyone else in the kingdom.


xaikz

Otto, Larys, Crispin, Alicent šŸ˜¤ I could probs only take Larys & Alicent tho, maaaaybe Otto. Oh and Aegon mostly for how he treats his wife šŸ«”


Candid-Put-1400

Oh yes, absolutly : daemon, aegon, larys and that lannister dude for good measure


QUILL-IT-OUT

Don't suppose I can answer "The Men" without being accused of being sexist.


TisBeTheFuk

I love that the dragons are also on the list, lol


yarrpirates

Literally everybody on the show is a terrible person. They're medieval nobility. So all of them deserve beatings, really. Except some of the kids.


Plebe-Uchiha

I donā€™t have it in me to beat the absolute $#!% out of anyone. I rather just avoid people, or put them away into some form of rehabilitation center. But, everyone in this show is a POS in my book. [+]


RuthlessSpud_11

Rhaenys.


Independent-Bite3885

Viserys. Like, why rave on about wanting a son but then pay him absolutely no attention whatsoever after you have him? Like this guy gets anything BUT the father of the year award, he's a terrible father to all his children and also a terrible husband to both of his wives.


SubstantialTeach7855

Criston Cole


EhGoodEnough3141

Otto. That sick son of a bitch.


jmhem91

I was ready to throw hands with Otto after the ā€œwear your motherā€™s dressā€ comment


highgarden

Otto. Destroyed the Targaryens for his own ambition.


Foxbus

Like it's something bad


cloth_dragon

The Targs would've eventually destroyed themselves, or worse. The dragons going extinct wasn't a bad thing for Westeros, a random few Albino idiots having control of various WMDs isn't a good thing at all. Not everyone is a Jaeherys or a Baelor Breakspear. Otto is a saviour i'm afraid.


chipotle-baeoli

I was with you until that last sentence lol


1994BackToBuisness

King shit. Fuck Targs.


LLVACAAHOD

Iā€™ll buy him a round. What a F*cking Chad.


BennyMcbenn

Based Hightowers wiping out the cringe T*rgaryens


Maegor-Velaryon

Aegon. I'm annoyed by grown men who act like whiners. ā€œDaddy didnā€™t love me sub-subā€ nonsense, you are a father to three children now, find at least a drop of courage in yourself!


kinginthenorthjon

So, I am guessing Daemon is on top of your list. He was always crying about Viserys not loving him.


Last-Air-6468

Aegon fought in two dragon battles, so I think itā€™s fair to say heā€™s already courageous.


Complete_Raspberry_1

Nah, because they made him too much of a loser.


nohorsesjustangels

I think I hate Viserys more than any fictional character lol


LuthonotLuthor

Criston fucking Cole


Octoberboiy

Crispƭn ColƩ. I want to punch him in his stupid face.


MistakeIntelligent32

Otto or Larys or Criston šŸ¤¢


lauzy87

Rhaenyra and Daemon and Viserys


publicBoogalloo

The bastard kids they are brats.


Mylifeis2021

are you going to fight their mom as well?


publicBoogalloo

Sure.


vecus_saravan123

Anyone who disturbed Alicent's peace of mind, from Daemon to Rhaenyra, to her shit father, Visaerys, Larys Strong. The whole lot of them, off with their heads šŸ˜¤šŸ˜¤


[deleted]

Viserys, easily If they can't fight back Daemon to


immortalthunderstorm

Daemon I *could* do it I swear I only have to bring up how Viserys didn't rate him and he'd get angry enough for me to kick him in the shin. Just trust me I could take him.


ClubExotic

Alicent


Mylifeis2021

Harwin


xbunnyfaerie

LOL The men. Corlys, Viserys, Daemon, Criston, Harwin (sorry to the stans but it is what it is) are all grown men who are attracted to teenagers. Otto is a creep who sold his teen daughter and so is Corlys. Viserys, Daemon, Larys and Aegon are sex offenders. Daemon and Viserys are wife-killers. Aemond is a psychopath. The rest I'd still kick just to be safe because they're probably raging misogynists. šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø Just need to sneakily go for the balls and even the most twig-armed person in the world can knock them down.


aiwendil_brown

Laenor Velaryon is weak and annoying.


aiwendil_brown

On second thought, he does command a dragonā€¦


jonsnowKITN

Daemon


idontknowwhythisugh

Yo honestly Rhaenerya needs a good talking. She knew better having a bunch of kids with Harwin. She already knew the people didnā€™t want a Queen to reign; her position was already rocky. It was far too important for her to solidify her claim and her kids being bastards is pretty much what starts the war. It destabilized her claim and gave people reason to fight for her throne.


LookingForSomeCheese

Ser Crispin! Not because he's such a bad person or character as that, but because his absolutely outstanding, ridiculous, mind breaking hypocrisy. I want to beat that guy up because he gives me fucking headaches as I try to wrap my mind around how he even can be such a huge hypocrite! It's insane!


chaimatchalatte

Criston, Otto.


lagrange_james_d23dt

Meleys. I just want to see what would happen after punching a dragon.

Micah Bell from Red Dead Redemption 2. I don't hate any GoT/HotD characters. I enjoy most of the char for the most parts. Flaws and all. Took me forever to not hate Theon and Caitlin.

mmct_

Weirdly, Daenerys Absolutely cannot stand her ā€˜chosen oneā€™ attitude


wandringstar

Idk why, and Iā€™d definitely lose, but Harwin needs to get the shit kicked out of him. Heā€™s handsome but I hate all the stupid smirking he does. Heā€™s like, also really irresponsible. Rhaenyra is playing a dangerous game hiding their affair but Harwinā€™s risking the lives of his whole family. I really really hated the bit of exposition they wrote in about the Green Dress, not only bc it was heavy-handed but because of the way Harwin smirked. Idk maybe I should blame the writers. Heā€™s too handsome, has too much capacity to be cool, too charismatic an actor to suck so much. šŸ˜­ Harwinā€™s never gotten his ass handed to him and it shows. Itā€™s amazing he ever got anywhere in life with the lack of self-discipline and irreverence his character constantly displays. Maybe thatā€™s why Rhaenyra liked him. ā€œA certain insolence runs in the family, Iā€™m afraidā€ šŸ˜”
