His ability to be constantly revived by his fighting partner Thoros of Myr is certainly useful in the long run, but it also robs him of an important trait any warrior must have: fear.īeric may fear the metaphorical death encroaching from Beyond the Wall, but in a fight against any other mortal he is probably a bit less likely to properly protect himself. Strangely enough, Lord Beric Dondarrion’s biggest strength is also his greatest weakness. He could certainly hold his own in a battle against either. The kissed-by-fire wildling is the only man skilled and strong enough to serve as the most trusted lieutenant of both Mance Rayder and Jon Snow.
Well, however Tormund gets his calcium, it certainly does his body good. He doesn’t kill giants so much as he *checks notes*…suckles on giantess milk? Sure, his given name is a bit of a misnomer. And there are very few Free Folk stronger than Tormund Giantsbane. Tormund Giantsbaneĭiscipline and skill may be prized in warriors throughout the Seven Kingdoms but north of The Wall, strength is key. That’s why you won’t see Ser Arthur Dayne among the combatants. This restricts characters who appear only in flashback from making the list. Finally, only characters who spent the majority of their time within the series main timeline can be included.
Speaking of Jaime and Barristan, dead characters are eligible for the list because if they weren’t, it would be pretty short. This means that Jaime Lannister gets to fight with both hands, but Ser Barristan the Bold remains Ser Barristan the Old. Sorry, Drogon and Ghost! Next, each warrior is judged by their skill at the height of their ability within the series’ run. Here are some important rules to consider. But let’s make sure the blood and guts get their proper due as well. As Thrones reaches the 10th anniversary of its Appremiere (which HBO has dubbed the Iron Anniversary), there will be plenty of opportunities to examine all the high-minded literary features that made the show a phenomenon. In fact, all of the dragon-stomping, bone-crunching, sword-swinging radness was a major part of the rich tapestry that was the fantasy series. Now, this is all not to say that some of Game of Thrones more base elements weren’t appealing. Even factoring in its…less than superb final season, Game of Thrones was refreshingly complex pop entertainment for adults. There were no easy decisions to be made and even the best deeds from the most pure at heart rarely went unpunished. The series was an honest and in-depth exploration of political dysfunction. Martin’s sprawling A Song of Ice and Fire saga was far more sophisticated than the sum of its most prurient parts.
