Game Of Thrones Season 6: 10 Characters It Must Use Better

2. Loras Tyrell

"Seventeen, and beautiful, and already a legend. Half the girls in the Seven Kingdoms want to bed him, and all the boys want to be him." That's a snippet from a Tyrion POV chapter in A Storm Of Swords. "Loras is a capable warrior, using swords, axes, and morningstars to deadly effect. He is beloved by the smallfolk, especially the women. While courteous he is still thirsty for glory and can be short-tempered and impetuous." Why haven't we seen ANY of this? So far in the entire series, we've only seen Loras as a pretty face. In the show, that's all he is. He's a young but growing legendary warrior in the books, but in the series he bare no resemblance to that powerful knight. His character simply doesn't have the same edge as his book counterpart, and with Season 6 looking like a defining time for him, we need to see the creators make a real effort with him.
