It seems like only yesterday we were sitting in front of our televisions wondering WTF happened on those last few episodes of Game of Thrones in May 2019.
Dany decided to save the Seven Kingdoms by murdering 3 million people; Rhaegal couldn't see a giant crossbow bolt coming from 500 yards away; Bronn saying "Hey I'm going to kill you, no wait I'm not!", Jon piling up Westerosi Airlines frequent flyer miles like a boss, and the fate of the kingdom being put in the hands of a nerd whose opening line with the ladies is "I'm the three-eyed raven."
I remember turning off the TV last year and telling my wife, "The only thing worse than that ending would be if we were in the throes of a global pandemic that altered the world as we know it next year, yikes!"
A year has passed. I've re-read a couple of the books. George RR Martin is in the final stages of deciding what stock of paper he wants to write the Winds of Winter on, and it's time for the Feast for Bros Game of Thrones Best Character Bracket.
64 of your favorites - or at least your favorites as picked by me - squaring off in 4 regions. The first round, which is almost always the most fun, will run the entire Memorial Day weekend - Friday to Monday then everything else will be 24 hour cycles.
I'm sure I left someone off that you liked. And I really underseeded your favorite character. Tough ***** Some characters are in brackets that don't really suit them. Some people just wouldn't fit (TWSS) and had to be moved around.
At the end of the day, we'll have a winner. Probably Tyrion, but don't let me sway you. In the event that you can't decide on a matchup, please feel free to use the time-honored tradition of: Male vs. Male - who wins that fight or Female vs. Female - who would I rather sleep with.
Until we meet again, as Ned Stark always liked to say: "One does not simply walk into Mordor."
