Hey youtubers it’s Charlie and and here’s my Game of Thrones Season 4 Preview for Tywin
Lannister.
The true king of Westeros and the greatest joy vampire you’ve ever met.
Just try to be happy around him.
I dare you.
So first I’ll talk about how tywin’s character develops in season 4 and then I’ll list
my all time top 5 Worst Twyin Lannister Moments.
If you’ve never seen any of my season 4 previews or your finding me for the first
time.
Spoilers for everything in books 1 through 3 and partial spoilers for book 4 and dance
with dragons.
Tywin Lannister really only cares about House Lannister and as a family man he really only
cares about how the rest of the Lannisters reflect of him.
That’s why you always see him making Tyrion, Jaime and Cersei do strange things.
It’s hard to say whether he believes that Joffrey is really Jaime’s son, but during
season 3 he orders Cersei to marry Loras just so that the rumors will stop.
He never acknowledges that they’re true.
He also never acknowledges that Loras is really gay.
So he doesn’t really care about his children.
He just cares about what they can do to help or hurt the Lannister name.
That’s why no matter how smart Tyrion is, he’ll always hate him, because the rest
of westeros just thinks of him as the imp.
But he’s a lannister imp goddamit.
So really all Tywin is waiting for is an excuse to kill Tyrion that won’t reflect badly
on House Lannister.
And Season 4 gives him that chance.
Tyrion get’s blamed for the *super spoilery* event in King’s Landing and while we don’t
have any Tywin POV chapters, it’s implied that Tywin acts like Tyrion is guilty.
Tyrion is put on trial and since it’s a solution to Tywin’s “Tyrion” problem
I think he doesn’t care whether Tyrion is actually guilty.
If you saw the scene with Tyrion and Tywin at the end of season 3.
That wasn’t in the books, the actors improvised it just because Peter Dinklage and Charles
Dance are so awesome.
It let’s you know that Tyrion is hanging by a thread.
Tywin is just looking for the right excuse to get rid of him.
And Season 4 is where he gets that chance.
But if you thought that bad guys always win in Game of Thrones, you are wrong.
Bullies never win in the end.
We can’t predict what specifically they’ll change from the books to the show, but I expect
the untimely demise of westeros’ greatest bully to go down just the way it does in the
books.
With some improvised dialogue from Peter Dinklage and Charles Dance of course.
But here’s my list of Top 5 Worst Tywin Lannister Moments So Far:
Number 5 - Killing the Last of The Targaryen’s or so he thought.
Tywin ordered the murder of prince rhaeger and elia of dorne and their children.
I don’t know if the success or failure of this will make it to the show.
So I won’t include any spoilers for the mummer’s dragon.
But the red viper is Elia’s sister and he’ll be trying to find out who killed Elia during
season 4.
Number 4 - Hiring the Bloody Mummers to Burn the Riverlands during the war of the five
kings.
On the show these characters are replaced by Locke and his group of men.
He was the one that cut Jaime’s hand off.
So you can think of that as a small form of Karmic retribution for tywin.
Number 3 - The Rains of Castamere.
So this refers to an event and a song based on the event.
The song was turned into the Lannister theme on the show.
So anytime there’s a lannister scene, the tune plays softly in the background.
The event it refers to is when House Reyne and House Tarbeck rebelled against their liege
lord Tywin’s father.
In response Tywin killed every member of their families and burned their castles.
It was so terrible that the people of westeros turned it into a song, that now plays every
time a lannister appears on screen in the show.
Number 2 - The untimely demise of Tyrion’s first wife Tysha.
So Tyrion as you can imagine had some self esteem issues growing up.
More than most teenagers.
So when he finally fell in love with a peasant girl named Tysha they got married.
When Tywin found out that a lannister had married a commoner he brutalized Tysha and
lied to Tyrion he had secretly paid her to love him.
Tyrion never found out what happened to her, but he swore revenge.
And my number 1 worst Tywin lannister moment - The red wedding.
Tywin was responsible for convincing Walder Frey to perpetrate the Red Wedding in exchange
for favorable treatment.
House Frey was actually an enemy of the Lannisters during the war of the five kings, but Tywin
promised to forgive that in exchange for the heads of all the starks and the slaughter
of their army.
It was basically like a sequel to The Rains of Castamere.
Which was the name of the red wedding episode and the tune that played when the slaughter
began.

you think he’ll be doing to Tyrion in season 4.
