I love how Tywin didn't feel he had to intervene when Tyrion threatened the king. The brat deserved it.

[@fantasymangacomicvisionary5688]

Tywin did intervene to prevent Joffrey from punishing Tyrion. Which was the second time he done this after Tyrion threatened Joffrey "The King" in front of a bunch of people. So even though Tywin didn't truly love Tyrion he would bail him out alot because he was his son and a Lannister.

Tywin didn't intervene to see how Joffrey would handle the situation as King. He wants to see what Joffrey is made of and stays silent when Joffrey immediately turns to him after Tyrion's comments about King's dying. Tywin only breaks his silence after Joffrey fails the test and whines that he is the King

[@ghostsade3]

@@stonkshodl9515 ​ @stonkshodl9515 I noticed as well that Joffrey looked at Tywin, an implicit, non-verbal understanding/submission that everybody else thinks that Tywin is ultimately the real dude holding everything together. Joffrey wants it all; he doesn't even want to have to defend his position as King because, as King, "he's so above that", when in reality, that is not how monarchy works at all. I agree that was probably Tywin's main motive, to test Joffrey and see what he would do. He probably also respected Tyrion's comeback in a way but the other reason is more important.

I wonder if that's part of the reason Joffrey is so out of control. His 'father' was a war hero and leader of a rebellion and became king. That's a lot to live up to for a young man. So Joffrey wants to live up to Robert's reputation and even surpass him. But his insecurities, combined with being spoiled rotten by Cersei, is why he becomes vicious and cruel.

[@nekogaming5300]

@@TimberlakeTigerGirlno joffrey is just a straight up psychopath and nobody has any reason to dispute that.

[@bumblerbree]

i think joffrey just clings to the one person who could stand to tywin, moreso after his death since he no longer had to worry about what robert would actually do. as a baratheon joffrey's a king, as a lannister he's just tywin's grandson. also even joffrey was grossed out by cersei and jaime being incestuous, so at least he had that going for him

[@arsxxmoriendi]

@@masterexploder9668 it's heavily implied that Joffrey is the result of the madness that often afflicts children of incest.

[@puneetmishra4726]

That is a perfect summary of Tywin's character. He is very ambiguous and never shows his cards. In the books, Tyrion always tries to read hid expressions but could never do it fully. One scene that I remember is, in a war council The Mountain suggests that they should gauge out eyes of the scout who fail to report and give the eyes to the next one and tell him "now you have four eyes, better use them or the one after you will have six". Tyrion looks at Tywin after that remark and couldn't figure out whether he approved that or got disgusted by that cruelty

[@nickcara97]

With the subtle haunting music in the background and the sinister look on Tywin’s face, you can’t help but think back to those days at the end of the rebellion, visualizing images of the defenseless capital being needlessly sacked and the queen and her children being raped and butchered, all on Tywin’s orders. This short scene gives us a rare glimpse into the true visage of the man behind the veil of stoicism and wisdom. A vicious and ruthless psychopath who will do anything and everything to maintain the flawed power structure he has spent his entire life stepping over bones to achieve. That’s the real Tywin Lannister, and all the pretentious and contradictory speeches about family, legacy, and leadership won’t change the true nature of his actions.

[@Wolf10media]

Yea, very haunting indeed. One often question would he ordered many family members killed he found useless if it so suited him in better circumstances. If it meant keeping the family name strong. Would he had Geoffrey die in a freak accident? Cause it very well looks that way.

And Tywin's answer is frankly as lame and cowardly as can be, but delivered with his usual steely arrogance to jolt everyone back to reality and remember who they take orders from.

[@mphylo2296]

That’s the best part. Joffrey is completely correct. Tywin has a reputation for being a skilled war strategist but the truth is that he’s mostly just an opportunistic snake. He only declared for Robert immediately prior to the final battle of the war and he was consistently out-matched by Robb during the War of Northern independence, only winning the war by way of assassination. His response is indeed very cowardly. He can’t refute Joffrey’s assertion and he would only further embarrass himself by trying, so he instead exercises his authority by forcibly ending the conversation.

[@publiusthefederalist6843]

@@mphylo2296 I didn't even think of that. Tywin even mentions that Robert patted him on the back a lot. Ned once had said "then why is Robert King, and not Tywin Lannister" when Littlefinger tried to get Ned Stark to fear him.

[@yeeyeeass]

Yet another classic scene showing why Tywin was the greatest character in the show. He was the *only* player in the game of thrones that cared about the king’s sleep schedule, as he knew a well rested king would make wiser choices. What a nice grandpa!

Well you can thank the fans for that one. Poor guy got death threats because of how well he played Joffrey; a bit too well at times.

@@crash3711 It isn't, it's essential for her character. When she's in charge in King's Landing after Tywin's death, a lot of what she does is her deliberately trying to emulate "what Tywin would do" and failing spectacularly. She has Tywin's ruthlessness and pettiness, but not his calmness and intelligence. That's one of the main points of that entire storyline. Each of the three Lannister children try to emulate Tywin in some way, with varying degrees of success.
