Joffrey is The True Hero of GAME OF THRONES in Fan Video
(Spoilers for Game of Thrones ahead.)
Joffrey Baratheon has to be one of the biggest douchebags in the history of fantasy literature. The little bastard was a power-mad sociopath who loved doling out his own twisted sense of justice, tormenting Sansa Stark with so much suffering that she nearly had a psychotic break. He was a cruel, arrogant coward who deserved a longer, more painful death than the poisoning he ultimately received.
But can you imagine a scenario in which Joffrey was actually the hero of the story? Part of the reason the character works so well is because George R.R. Martin basically set him up as the archetypal hero prince — dashing, handsome, etc. — only to subvert that trope by making him a miserable dick.
