They're both evil dicks.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 6

They are essentially the same character except Ramsey is obviously missing a screw and would be a serial killer in a non fictional world.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 6

If you just go by various internet sites, Ramsay is already way past Joffrey, and I agree.

I don't.

I go by my own opinion, but I understand why people may think that. They're def entitled to for sure.

People also have short memories and Joffrey was incredibly easy to loathe and wish for his death.

But I'm on board with CMH & Beantown's assessments. I could def see it like that.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 6

I feel that he thinks it'll be more of a punishment for him to return home and face his father (who he doesn't know is dead) and the rest of his family with the fact he failed miserably in taking Winterfell. Plus all the humiliation of the Ramsay stuff.

Idk.. maybe he knew Jon would kill him and he just wanted to live, but the scene in the forest made it seem like him going home was the ultimate punishment, even above death.

I'm sure him coming back to the Iron Islands will shake up the Kingsmoot.

I don't see how he'd even be considered to be King of the Iron Islands. They all know he can't produce an heir. I'm excited to find out how Yara reacts -- does she try to rehabilitate him? I really can't quite figure out what Theon's trajectory is.

Anyone else notice the upgraded Children of the Forest? Looks much better compared to the first time we saw one of them during the S4 finale.

I think Theon's role will be to assist his sister in becoming the leader of the islands. He may have to get his hands dirty on her behalf. I don't see him becoming leader himself.

Not really. Both are cruel, but Jof was also stupid and something of a coward. Ramsey is neither of those things.

I meant in ruthlessness. They are both being written to do the most likely unnecessary killing imaginable in the show.

But yes, they are vastly different in character. That's why I said Ramsey would be a serial killer. If Game of Thrones took place in England past, I would bet he was an ancestor of the Ripper.

Slightly off topic: Is the guy in a suit sitting at an office desk in a pool on the Wyndham Rewards commercial the guy who leads the wildlings (big beard) in Got?

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 6

Yes, it is.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 6

Yes, it is.

Very cool, I didn't wanna google it so I asked here.

That's a trip lol.

Joffrey shares more character traits with Viserys, I think. They're tough and cruel behind their protectors, but strip that away and they cower away.

Ramsay, like Roose said, is a mad dog. Ramsay is what Joff and Viserys wish they could be -- capable of doing all the sadistic things they want by themselves.

I think (and I strongly emphasize think because I really don't know) that people hated Joffrey most because the actor had the perfect face for a snotty little runt that he portrayed. It was a lot of the things people dislike in that type of person.

Whereas with Ramsay, he's definitely sadistic and the actor plays the role well with eyes that always appear to be imagining what gruesome thing to do to the person he's speaking to, but that sort of person in reality is someone we just avoid. We don't necessarily dislike their appearance. We dislike their actions.

A Joffrey face is disliked just by seeing it in your peripheral.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 6

When did Ramsey appear in the books? I remember reading an interview with GRRM about how after watching Breaking Bad, we wanted to make a character even more evil than Walter White. I thought maybe Ramsey was that creation but he would've had to appear pretty recently for that to happen.
