Game of Thrones doesn't operate that way. More than one character acts as a protagonist for his/her POV part in the story.

Read the books! The show actually does a good job of portraying this storyline element.
Theon turned on Rob, took over Winterfell, beheaded a northern legend, and killed/burned two random ass kids :what:


How the fukk is he a protagonist from any point of view? :what:

Yup, Tobias Beecher was repeatedly raped, he was branded, got hooked on drugs, his arms and legs were broken, his son was murdered and the killers mailed the boys hand to him, his young daughter was kidnapped and possibly sexually molested, got out of prison only to be framed and sent back to prison, AND he was framed for murder by a guy he was dating in prison (same dude that broke his arms and legs).....

Death would have been a release for this dude.
What show is this? So that I never know to watch it :youngdro:

OZ

The show starts with Beecher going to prison for the first time for vehicular manslaughter, he immediately gets taken in by the Aryans and they start raping him within his first week there.

Oh the guys that did most of that terrible shyt to Beecher:

Yup, J Jonah Jameson/Commissioner Gordon and Detective Stabler played white supremacist rapists on Oz. A lot of talented actors got their first big break on Oz.

How about researching the word protagonist? You may have something different in your head than what it actually is.

Theon Greyjoy is the protagonist of his POV parts in Game of Thrones. A story can have several protagonist. Main story protagonists and subplot protagonists.

I went to college for this shyt and am a film major, plus I write in my sparetime and have read the novels, trust me on this dawg.

You're under the impression that the protagonist is the good guy. No. The protagonist is the central character of a plot, whose decisions propel the story forward. The antagonist is the character that goes against the protagonist.

Do you know who George R R Martin's favorite character is? Tyrion Lannister. Throughout the story he's betrayed his brother and sister, killed his father and killed his lover and is now working against his sister the queen by siding with the enemy, Daenerys. Does that make him a bad guy? No. He's just the protagonist of his subplot in Game of Thrones.

There aren't many truly good or bad characters in the show, cause they've all done bad things. They all work in a gray area. Some more good the others, some more bad. That's what makes the show so great.

Peep Show spoilers

Peep-Show-Mark3-PS09-D03-294.jpg


Raped by a lesbian while dreaming about his mother.

Simped over Sophie for

years and he eventually got to date her.

He realised he hated her after being with her and got married so he wouldn't be alone. The day of the wedding he wants to call it off and hides during the ceremony until the priest finds him.

3 minutes after they get married she cries as she claims he jilted her. After a few weeks and an annuled marriage he has to fire her as he now becomes a manager.

Instead they have sex and he uses a 10 year old condom. She has sex with his best friend and doesn't know who the baby belongs to. It's his.

She starts dating his old rival Jeff and Jeff names the baby after himself.

That's just his L with her. Every episode is an L for Mark.

Oh yeah, he passed on Big Suze

For Sophie.
