Tyrion's biggest problem is the fact that he is the smallest person. That's mainly because of what everyone else thinks of him, not because his height makes him any less integral. Just because he's short, he's slapped with a 'monster' tag, and during his murder trial, he rightly fumes that he's on trial 'for being a dwarf'. He is the most relatable character is all of Westeros. One of the only characters in the show who is grounded in his thoughts, reasonable with his actions, and knows what to do in every single situation. He saved King's Landing from certain devastation but all he got was a demotion, a slash across the face, and a dank hovel to die in. The general public hates him, and the 'demon monkey' tag lives on. Yet still, if the world was run by Tyrion Lannister, it'd be a one we'd all want to live in. Let the man live, let the man rule.
