THRONES - when you realize we haven't even seen the best GOT fighters in action

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

think about it...

we only seen Jaime fight like one time... (with an actual sword in his hand and when he was at his best)

we only seen Lord Eddard Stark one time (put that speck on his name even though I'm riding with the Mother of Dragons)

never got to even see King Robert hold a battle axe, let alone use it

I don't even think we got to see King in the North Rob Stark and how he actually gets down

 

[obarth]

At least we got to see Oberyn da gawd

Spoiler

Pause

 

[Babyshaq73]

Technically saw Ned twice, and he took a L both times.

we ain't counting that flashback scene in Westerosi streets

 

[Babyshaq73]

Fair enough. I'm more pissed about how they did my boy Barry the Bold

 

[Thatrogueassdiaz]

I thought about that before the season started.

 

[MidniteJay]

An annoyance I had with the books myself most of the hyped warriors don't get to demonstrate their skills.

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

Ned wasn't known as a great fighter.

We've seen Jon Snow beasting enough to feed the skreets

 

[Lot 80's]

Whole thread is nonsense. We've seen Arthur Dayne, Jaimie, Ned, Oberyn, Loras, Brienne, Bronn, The Mountain, The Hound, and even Jon is legendary in his own right.

 

[Scottie Drippin]

Ned was average by his own admission. He was a strategist/leader of men. Not a top tier swordsman.

In the show, we've also seen Barristan Selmy in action, and he is considered greater than anyone but Dayne and maybe Hightower. Even old when he told the entire room he could cut them down after Joffrey dismissed not a single person bucked.

Pull that quote up. Ned went toe to toe with Jaimie in the streets of Kings Landing. Fight only ended because of interference of a Lannister soldier.

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

Jaime is NOT one of the best fighters. That's a myth. About as real as the 1000 swords of Aegon's enemies in the Iron Throne, or the gold currently being mined at Casterly Rock. Jamie is the epitome of white privilege. He's a spoiled little brat being propped up by a great last name and proper choices of opponents (he admitted this to Ned in the Throne Room). How can the same nikkas who shyt on Russell Westbrook for cherry picking triple doubles have any respect for Jamie Lannister's fakkit ass?

Let's recount all the times we've seen this overrated chump fight. We saw him fight a random Dornish patrolman. Sure, he only had one hand, but Bronn was kind enough to wound the Dornish cat before leaving him to Jamie. That Dornish cat then preceded to whip Jamie's ass; Jamie was only saved by a fit of luck with dude's sword getting caught in his gold hand.

Prior to that we saw Brienne of Tarth straight toy with this dude (I won't even dwell on the Bolton soldiers beating his ass in the mud, cuz his hand had just been cut off, but that was hilarious ). Sure he was handcuffed, but Brienne was handicapped knowing she couldn't kill him cuz she had to deliver him to King's Landing alive to secure the release of the Stark children. Also, let's not forget that Ser Loras Tyrell had beat an unencumbered Jamie too (when Littlefinger lost his dagger to Tyrion), and we all saw Brienne shyt on Loras. Brienne was overpowering Jamie at every turn, it looked like a man vs a child. She was striking poses and shyt as she knocked him to the ground.

Then there's the only time we actually saw a two handed Jamie fight...in the streets of King's Landing...against an old, slow, flabby Ned Stark. At that point, all Ned had left was old man strength. And the great Jamie Lannister only managed to fight to a draw. His own man saw him getting embarrassed out there and felt the need to interrupt and save his Lord's honor. Now, Jamie apologists will try to tell you that Jamie was toying with Ned, but that's bullshyt. He wasn't striking poses like Brienne did to him. And when you compare Jamie's fight with a Ned to Ser Arthur Dayne's fight with a prime Ned you see what being significantly better than Ned Stark REALLY looks like!

Like I said, Jamie is just a hoe who picks opponents he knows he can beat. His greatest kills is stabbing a crazy old man in the back and lulling a weak, star crossed cousin in to get murked whilst in bondage.

I won't even touch on the four different kings this clown let die when he was supposed to be protecting them, but I will talk about that time when his nephson was looking through the book of all the great feats of past Kingsguard. Many, including the aforementioned Ser Arthur Dayne, had entries that spanned several pages. Jamie only got a half a bar!

Where's the great feats, J? Where's the great feats J!?!? WHERE THE fukk ARE THOSE GREAT FEATS J!?!?!?!?

Show made it closer than books had it. Ned was a military leader, not a great fighter. Not saying he was bad but his name didn't ring out like that. Show does that though. They got Brienne beating the Hound straight up . In the original story they never met.

MUCH closer. Wasn't Ned Stark when Jaime challenged him in the streets?
