10 Stupidest Game Of Thrones Moments

Yes, The Hound was a great, funny character. But that "was" is the key word here.

Since he returned in season six, however, he has been a victim of ‘Flanderisation’ – degraded to nothing more than the comic one-liners that were once an amusing – but minor - trait of his when venturing across Westeros with Arya.

Now, instead of being a glorified bodyguard with layers beneath his hard exterior, he is an imbecile made to provide nothing but comic relief.

It’s a prime example of how the show’s quality in writing has deteriorated since passing the events of the books, with it being hard to believe that the character would receive the same treatment in the Winds Of Winter if it was ever to be released.

Him joining the Brotherhood Without Banners because of the abrupt deaths of unfamiliar innocents was also subpar and it would have been far better to have him just appear with them in the first place.

Then again, with how the show has made him nothing but a Neanderthal, it would have been even better to just leave him dead.
