Tywin is definitely a villain. Like I said he orchestrated the Red Wedding, which he can't even take credit for because it's so foul. Also he allowed Cersei to place Joffrey on the throne, knowing damn well they had no claim to it. Then say idly by while Joffrey spazzed the fukk out for 4 seasons. Then imprisoned/sentenced to death Tyrion, knowing damn well he had nothing to do with Joffrey's death.
And that family shyt holds no water. That's like saying Walter White isn't a villain because he was just trying to provide for his family....or Tony Soprano wasn't a villain because he used mob money to put Meadow in college. They're all villains, just not the stereotypical, twirl-their-mustache variety.
Fred.
I'm just saying Tywin isn't the type that starts shyt for no reason like Littlefinger.
I read a post somewhere that said Tywin doesn't start wars, he ends them. Tywin's intro to the story is when Catelyn Stark commits the first open act of aggression against House Lannister by kidnapping Tyrion with no damn proof Dude was just chilling and wasn't even a part of the KL court fukkery.
Also not letting Cersei place Joffrey on the throne or working against the sadistic fukk may as well have been House Lannister suicide. Not like there was any other options to throne but Stannis....
Littlefinger isn't chaotic, the man knows what he's doing. He comes across as chaotic because he needs to shake things up in order to be able to ascend, because he's low-born and in the strict hierarchical structure of succession he'd never even be a player in the game. But with the world in disarray, he can prey on the weak, take advantage of his connections and thus elevate himself by cutting down the ones born into power. It's also part of his strategy to never let people know what he wants, so he can confuse his enemies and get the upper hand
I'm not sure what you mean by a character not being chaotic when their machinations has caused biggest chaos in series. You must be talking about Varys. The amount of bodies that drop during the War of the Five Kings you could blame on Littlefinger. His ambition to ascend and his care for no one else proves he's a megalomaniac. Nah... He's a bigger villain than Tywin.
