I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I was hesitant to include him, and maybe I shouldn't have, but I found him to be a more interesting combatant than the alternatives. He's good at killing wights, but I don't know how he would fair against a living, capable warrior. I think Asha wins this fight.

Coldhands, I guess, though I'm not sure that facing a combatant who is already dead is really fair to Asha.

You've only read the first three, right?tragabigzanda wrote:See, I think a few characters are actually better on the show. Davos is the primary example -- I was never really into his character that much in the books, but loved him on TV. Ditto the Red Viper.cutuphalfdead wrote:All the characters are more compelling in the books.tragabigzanda wrote:I get that. But is Dario specifically a more compelling character, or shown to be a better fighter? Coz based on the show, I don't know what Dany sees in him.cutuphalfdead wrote:everything after tywin's death is different in the booktragabigzanda wrote:The Mountain.
Dario is another one who is underwhelming on the tv show. Is this any different in the book?
Sandor is a bit different in that I loved him in the books, but find he's a more sympathetic character, and therefore even more likable, on the show.

Coldhands. He isn't unbeatable, but it's going to take more than little miss axe chucker.

Re: GAME OF THRONES TOURNAMENT CLICK HERE TO START HAVING FU
With Asha Greyjoy on her heels and victory within Coldhands' reach, an unexpected turn of events unfolded. The former Night's Watchman stepped away from his foe, put away his weapon, and mounted his giant Elk. Before confusion had a chance to set in, a hush fell over the crowd as the large stranger from the North began to speak with a voice like half frozen weirwood branches rattling and wet ice crackling. "Winter is coming", he said. "I must go." And before a minute was passed the man and his beast were gone. "WHERE'S MY FIGHT?! I WANT MY GLORY!" Asha bellowed. Only one stepped forward. "I have your glory here, at the end of my spear."

Obara Sand

Obara Sand is the bastard daughter of Oberyn Martell and an Oldtown whore. She is the eldest of the infamous Sand Snakes. A prickly, hot-tempered woman who is given to martial pursuits as she considers herself a warrior, wielding a spear, a whip, and a round shield of steel and copper. She is hard, quick, hot-tempered, and strong.
"Give me back my spear, Uncle. Cersei sent us a head. We should send her back a bag of them."

VS
Asha Greyjoy

Asha Greyjoy is a member of House Greyjoy and is the daughter of Lord Balon Greyjoy by his wife, Alannys Harlaw. Asha is lean and longlegged, with black hair cut short, wind-chafed skin, and strong hands. Asha is fierce and proud, and defies traditional ironborn gender roles by commanding her own ship, the Black Wind, and leading men into battle.
No fight is hopeless till it has been fought.
