Tyrion Slaps Joffrey

Joffrey Lannister has been one of the most annoying characters in television history. So, it was only satisfying to see Tyrion land his five fingers on Joffrey’s face. Talking back to his uncle, Tyrion was taking none of his nephew’s tantrums and what follows is a meme worthy scene of Joffrey just getting slapped.

Tyrion Kills Shae

One of the most heart-breaking scenes involving Tyrion. Just as he is about to escape Kings Landing, he makes a quick stop to check up on his father, only to learn that he has been sleeping with Shae. Heart-broken, Tyrion ends up killing her in a guilt-ridden scene. Tyrion genuinely loved her, and Shae’s betrayal was just too much for him.

After killing Shae, Tyrion goes after Tywin who seems to be quite occupied on the bathroom. After quite the back and forth, Tyrion finally let’s go off the arrows on the crossbow and kills his father. Tyrion is finally free from his father’s grip now, and years-worth of disdain and unacceptance, finally comes to an end.

The Battle of Blackwater

Tyrion was seeing combat for the first time in his life and had devised a plan that could take out Stannis’ army in quite the way. Only thing being that he wouldn’t know if it would be successful or no. But the moment the fire arrow landed on the Wildfire it was one visual spectacle that showcased Tyrion’s intelligence perfectly.

Trial-by-Combat Speech

When being held for trial for committing Joffrey’s murder, Tyrion finally let go of himself after years of abuse. He would call everyone in Kings Landing ungrateful and give a monologue that would send chills down your spine.
