Tywin Being a Boss for 5 minutes straight

[@colinmurphy8222]

GRRM loves his self fulfilling prophecies. Tywins lifes work was to reverse the embarrassment brought to house Lannister by his father Tytos. He feared that Tryrion would continue that humiliation so he shunned and mistreated him all his life. That abuse turned Tyrion against his own house and lead to Tywins death and house Lannisters destruction.

[@Leonhard_Euler99]

I like how Olenna treated Tywin. She finds herself smarter than others. She doesn't believe in rumors and plays people, but then she faced Tywin. She saw on her own eyes that the rumors were true. He's as tough as people said. Tough, intelligent and hard to manipulate. She clearly didn't like Tywin but she found him worthy and gave him deserved respect.

[@MalloryNewcomb]

Olenna said it best to Cersei when describing Tywin after his murder: “It’s a rare enough thing, a man who lives up to his reputation.”

Cuz the name lives on, we humans dont, ever wonder why achilles is taught in school? No one ever mentions his life before troy, wonder why? His legacy lived on but he didnt, for example love or hate him but the name trump will forever be ingrained in american history, names carry tremendous weight, one bad apple truly does spoil the bunch for if you can openly mock one, you can openly mock all of them, if we cared more about our family names then the world would be much better for it, shame seems to be a thing of the past except for the japs

[@osmanyousif7849]

Honestly, I think there was a part of him that deep down, did love his children. And there was a glimmer of the good, of the compassion we see his children express throughout the show. But said-glimmer was simply stamped out as Tywin allowed his resentment, hubris and ego to consume him. But in retrospect, there was also a part of Tywin within Tyrion, Jaime, and Cersei. That made made each of them at times, see the worst of the world, and overlook those who wanted to give them some sense of compassion. I know this may not apply too much in the case for Jaime and Tyrion as the two throughout the show are shown to deeply care for one another. But while THEIR relationship is touching, it really wasn't that interesting or packed with conflict in the show. Contrast their relationship with Tyrion and Cersei. They may loath and detest one another, but never underestimate each other's intellect and capabilities, even indulge in moments of sympathy. Showing that despite everything, they are family and that means something. As for Tyrion and Tywin, there may be contempt and animosity, but there is also respect. It really sucks that all the show has is Jaime and Tyrion love each other, and that's about it. I mean, while it is a breath of fresh air to see in a show filled with f**ked up family relations, consider how much different their relationship is in the books, especially when it's revealed that Jaime betrayed Tyrion when he confesses the "Tysha truth".

The only reason as to why robb was defeated was because of his inexperience and sheer bad luck giveb to him by martin himself .If Jon were to have been by his side they would have been an iconic duo like how robert and ned were each one complementing the other's skillset and lackings and also tywin and the lannisters would have been croushed right then and there at the battle of the green fork with Jon and Robb leading the two stark hosts .Whilst the show downpaly quote a bit off Jon's intelligence, he is first and foremost an equal of robb in battle and he is a far greater strategist than robb ever was and which the lack thereof of robb doomed his faith ,he is also a lot more politically savy ,Cunning and ruthless in the books and .He is more like his father rhaegar though a bit more honourable than the actual deal due to ned's influence no doubt.

The only difference is that Julius cared about his personal reputation, glory etc, while Tywin cared more for the Lannisters as a family.

1:23 LOL, fits in so well, I had to rewind just to make sure I was seeing this correctly.

[@Mas3452001]

Tywin wasn't necessarily a bad guy but rather someone doing what he felt he needed to do to secure his legacy & bring stability to the realm. Anything evil that happened on his watch was to clean up the mess other people made. Taking out Robb was to clean up the mess Joffery made by starting a war & what he did to Tyrion was to bring closure to the assassination of Joffery by the Tyrels. He might have even suspected the Tyrels did it, so he might have pinned it all on Tyrion to avoid an all-out war with the Tyrels.

[@vanessathenavigator]

Lol I love his animosity towards Joffrey

[@ecarneylaw]

One of the best cast actors I can ever remember. He owns every scene he is in.

[@stevel935]

1:01 wtf LOL

[@benrig89]

God it's like every meeting with my grad school advisor all over again.

[@Martok2309]

His main channel shifted away from this kind of content quite some time ago, most likely he removed the videos there and put them up on here so that fans who originally followed him for these videos could better access them and the same for fans of his other videos

[@Crusher6436]

Dude liked Arya, a Stark, more than his own children

[@evo_strange9584]

Where did this come from? I thought this channel wasn’t used anymore.

[@mr.churchy3356]

It’s a re-upload, dk what happened to the original version

Charles' reading of Rudyard Kipling's 'The Road to Mandalay' at the 70th anniversary of VJ Day in 2015 and Siegfried Sassoon's 'Aftermath' at the Thiepval Memorial in 2016 also capture what a great actor/orator he is.

He is brilliant and pragmatic, one of my favourite characters but too ruthless at the end, so obsessed by his image and power he turn almost every house against him. He made Dorne his worst enemy when he ordered the mountain the raping and murder of Elia and her kids, ( by the way, in the books is clear he does it as a revenge for the king's refusal of Cersei as Rhaegar wife)and this led to his own poisoning and at the least two different conspirations against the iron throne. He was hated and distrusted by his own loyals in the riverland and the north after the red wedding. Kingslanding sack is still on the memory of the smallfolk, who still now hate the Lannisters. Over the last 30 years he created more enemies and unlike Robert, his alliances were weak and unsincere like he has with the Tyrell. His pride made him uncapable of watching the incestuous relation of his two sons and uncapable of seeing anything else in his other son than a dwarf and a walking joke against his name. His heir toke votes in the kingsguard and her daughter was never told how to rule so Cersei just fucked up trying to be like her father but only her family name backing up her brutallity. I hope book Tyrion learns from his father and grandfather mistakes, as he did in clash of kings " hear me roar, hear me laugh and also hear how i am not ordering a gigantic psychopath to murder and rape an entire family and use my banner as a gift wrap so everyone know i am a fucking monster".

"Any man who must say i am the king is no true king" I loved the interactions between Jeoffrey and Tywin, because you can almost see Jeoffry's balls shrinking whenever he crosses Tywin.

[@drakerydenFalls]

This guy inspired me to fix my family 😂

[@chrispile5553]

I don't think anyone else could've performed this role as perfectly as Charles Dance.

[@internziko]

Ngl, the edits were great "im bout to end this man's career" lmao!

[@alivarl8693]

Tywin being the boss == Tywin scenes compilation

[@michaelbonade4667]

His scenes with Arya are wonderful He elevated each scene he was in period

[@FeZe1997]

1:30 is thia dialogue from the books? can't recall if they had a meeting like this in there, after all this scene is here to replace the canon one with Roose
