Game of Thrones Season 3: 10 Characters Who Underwhelmed

7. Bronn

Bronn Joining Littlefinger in the house of ostracised characters, Bronn had little to do this season aside from sit in a chair and drink. It€™s a shame that €“ Daenerys€™ storyline apart €“ this season was focused far more on political machinations and the supernatural rather than swordplay, because it leaves veritable badasses like Bronn get sidelined. So while in season one he got to throw a knight down a thousand-foot drop and in season two he got to murder his way through Baratheon soldiers, all he did this time around was try and offer advice when Tyrion became miserable. It gets especially weird when Bronn began speaking about how that the Half-man should sleep with his child bride immediately. There should be a general rule that a man with a sword should get to use it at least once as a season. Otherwise, he just looks sadly pointless. Unfortunately, that was Bronn€™s lot this year, slowly getting more tipsy while listening to tales of Podrick€™s exploits, and considering how much Jerome Flynn rocks in this role, seeing him so docile is a shame. I don€™t know, maybe that€™s it for Bronn for the time being. With Tyrion living under his father€™s thumb, his bodyguard€™s going to get more and more bored as his paymaster€™s influence wanes. Unless someone tries to kill Tyrion, then we should be in for some more fun.
