10 Biggest (And Best) Differences In Game Of Thrones Season 4 From The Books
10. Joffreys Such An Insufferable Turd That Cersei Just Comes Out And Says It
Joffreys the absolute worst no matter what media you portray him in, but the show takes his sadism and turns it up to 11. That disturbingly violent rape and torture of the two prostitutes certainly never happened in the books, with most of his spurts of ultra-violence largely falling upon the hapless shoulders of any number of adorable creatures as Tommen and Ser Pounce can attest. When the little madman does finally bite the dust, Cersei just about admits what a terrible little nightmare he was, and to Margaery Tyrell of all people. We got sweet little tidbits of Cerseis realization in earlier seasons, like when she gives him a good smack for mouthing off about Roberts unfaithfulness, but Cerseis development arc over the past few seasons has been much more complex and satisfying in regards to her children than what is given to us in the books. This isnt to say shes parent of the year by any means, but its good to see that the shows writers recognize that even a mothers love has got limits.
Spencer is an avid lover of storytelling and cinema. This likely began in a simpler time when watching Indiana Jones kick the snot out of Nazis and pretending to be a velociraptor were standard fare for the day. He’s absurdly opinionated and somewhat stubborn, qualities only mildly offset by his awareness of his own insignificance. Spencer is nearly always restless, but he'll settle for food, friends, and a good pint anytime.
