10 Game Of Thrones Characters That Nobody Actually Cares About

7. Daario Naharis

Are audiences actually supposed to like Daario Naharis? Seriously: this guy turned up like the Westeros equivalent of the captain of the high school football team, to the point where Daenerys - playing the best-looking cheerleader in this scenario - decided that she needed to sleep with him, just 'cause. And yet their relationship doesn't seem at all believable, despite the fact that the show assumes everyone at home is saying: "Oh, he's cool. He's so cool that even Daenerys Stormborne wants a piece of him. Rock on, Daario Naharis - you da man." Well, they're not. Daario, for the most part, comes across like a smug idiot; it actually makes Daenerys a less interesting character because she's chosen to enter a relationship (of sorts) with this guy. So he's a good fighter, sure, and he offers occasionally sound advice, and yet - for some reason - he's entirely insufferable.
