If I were less lazy and felt like doing the math, I would figure out the % of female POV chapters in the books.

Because I strongly suspect that there are more female POV chapters than male POV chapters.

[soavantgarde]

according to a wiki of ice and fire:

Female POV chapters: 130
Male: 202

This is including the one offs like Areo Hotah and shit

Interesting! I wonder why my memory felt like there were more female POV chapters. lol probably because the chapters I cared about the most were Cat's, Brienne's and Sansa's and my brain kinda chooses to forget just how many chapters Jon and Tyrion have.

[sestiere]

I especially noticed it in the finale. The writers basically used Tyrion as a way to explain their fucking inconsistent storytelling. I swear he talked like 3x greater than the next person.

[prlsb4swiine]

he wouldn't shut up. I really wish grey worm yelled at him more to stfu

[fernandocolunga]

same omg
his face was my face when we were forced to listen to him speak even more

[trekkiepetrelli]

i have absolutely no interest for tyrion.

his character, his accent, just...no. i've never liked him and the fact he got to talk about dany in that way in the last episode, and he got to survive everything. fuck. no.

[soavantgarde]

“Male characters tended to have more masculine-centred words in their lines, such as men, man, King, and Lord; for female characters, the more frequent words were love, leave, please, husband and master.”

So gross but also so unsurprising

[trekkiepetrelli]

disgusted, but not surprised by this at all

[rhapsodeeinblue]

The fact that fucking BRONN is so high up...

Tbh he's one of my most hated characters. Zero redeeming qualities. At least most of the blatant villains were interesting to watch.

[alienjiive]

He’s SO annoying I wanted to punch him in the finale

[ashdevilrun23]

God I still wish dany killed him in s7

[lawofcosines]

i know like... the show!tyrells are eradicated AND bronn is still alive? they forgot dorne and the vale for years and yet bronn is still alive............

the audacity

[sweet_heloise]
