I can't decided, there are so many characters... But Ned Stark was my favourite character to read.... I also Like Ser Arther Dayne so much that I'm obsessed with Ser Arther Dayne...
Love Dick Crabb honestly an A tier character for me. Think he is funny and love the sad conclusion to his little arc. Also can't believe they left my dudes Robar Royce, Rolland Storm, Baelor Blacktyde, and Cley Cerwyn. God this series has too many characters. lmao
I know, especially he speaks about being handicapped since book 1 because he burned his sword hand and he complains about it and mentions it often early on.
Not necessarily mean yeah she may be some kind of bad ass warrior and everything but deep down he’s not perfect emotionally although he does have potential of being Azur Ahei reborn
How fucking dare you for not putting respect on SER “nimble” Dick Crab, he was as fine a knight as any of the GREATEST the kingdoms of Westeros had ever seen. He died a HERO assisting the lady brienne of Tarth on her quest to track down Sansa stark and he will be remembered and HONORED for the years to come😤
Sad? Really. He totally went out like a chump. Also, he wasn’t a knight and obviously not even an average fighter. Shags kills him and Pig and Timion don’t even have decent weapons for some reason. So I’m wondering what they did with all their loot, but really, a wood spear and a broken sword and a flail? These guys are supposed to be intimidating who, exactly? The small folk at least have dented helms and armor for sale. I’m pretty sure even Pig could do better than a broken sword. And a stick. Against Oathkeeper. Not exactly a fair fight. Dick never so much as SWINGS the sword she gives him! C’mon! D tier. Tops.
@@TheCbot88 oh well in that case I hope an edge lord shit head never jumps out of a bush and kneecaps you with a flail cause I sure as shit won’t be singing your praises. How many times was Eddard able to swing his sword? Against armed opponents I mean. From what I remember he beheads a victim of ancient ice necromancy, takes an entire book to realize the incest, falls off his horse, trusts little finger and dies. I’ve got nothing against Ned I’m just taking him as an example of our standard baseline “good bloke”. What the fuck does it matter how many parries or cuts he lands or how many shagwells he killed or didn’t kill that’s not what it’s about, that’s not what any of this seems to be about. Sure he isn’t a knight and he’s got no martial skills to mention, he stuck by brienne when there was danger and he’s just a decent guy that didn’t deserve what happened to him. Calling a character a chump and saying he’s low tier cause he dies horrifically and painfully to a surprise attack, while funny doesn’t seem to match the theme of grrms writing to me.
@@TheCbot88 I wasnt referring to his fighting ability but rather to his colorful, memorable personality, and the way Brienne (understandably) mistrusts him. He deserved better. I really appreciated his storytelling about Crackclaw Point and the Squishers.
i have been staring at this list for a WHILE bc i also couldn't believe it like they have HIS wolf, the three eyed raven even osha on here but not bran ?!? 😭
“I suppose it’s not so bad to be low on the list. If I was too high, I’d be like to fall off.” I imagine that’s what Edd’s reaction to his placement would be
Wish you had ranked them by their value as a character to the story instead of whether they did good or bad things. Some of the characters you have in the C and D tiers are masterful characters and provide so much to the story. Yes some of them were monsters but they were still wonderfully written and added a lot to the story
Wun Wun, Moonboy, Butterbumps and Dog would all like to have a word. Seriously though, great job. It completely blows my mind that George can juggle all of these characters, plus the many and more others. And write them in such a way that we all have different opinions of them.
You should do a video ranking all the potential kings/queens/claimants of the iron throne: Aerys, Rhaegar, Viserys, Dany, Robert, Stannis, Renly, Joffrey, Myrcella, Tommen, Young Griff, Jon Snow, etc... could even do Robb Stark and the greyjoys if you're feeling spunky
@@QuinnTheGMI LoL'd when you said that that was objectively the funniest part of the series, bc you're so right. just finished my latest series reread and yeah, it's just as funny in the DwD audiobook
Can't change my mind. She blabbed to Cersei about her father's plans and ruined everything. And she's never even thought about her own responsibility in the travesty that followed (eg. her father's death! war!), including her own tragic fate to follow. Until she has some self reflection, villain.
@@lillianchristine8106lay off him, man. He was a genius politicker by the time he turned 8. He’s been orchestrating the rise and fall of governments since he could hold a marionette. He is just better than us, with a right to blame this totally not innocent child Sansa.
Stannis fan reporting in! He is the rightful heir if you support Robert's claim to the throne. Eddard Stark who doesn't even like him, supports his claim! If he dies in the battle against Ramsey, I'm Gunna be so mad 😡 The show is not canon!
@@space_orphan if anyone can overcome insurmountable odds it's stannis. he sure as fuck ain't leading his men into an open field to get slaughtered. like those fucking retards did on the show.
I actually don’t normally like these sorts of tier ranking videos but this was the first video I looked to when finding your channel. Im kind of picky with ASOIAF creators I watch because I feel like a lot of people misunderstood GRRM’s writing but now that I see you’ve got people like Sansa Stark, Jaime, and Davis all in S tier I know you officially pass the vibe check lol
Unrelated, I had a thought, might be a good theory. When Davos sent off Edric Storm to stop his sacrifice to wake the stone dragon. Melisandre has been wrong a lot. Maybe The Stone Dragon was really a plague of Greyscale. Could be a cool what if?
@@QuinnTheGM How could you forget about the smartest character in ASoIaF Mord? He is actually the real mastermind behind Littlefinger! The show adressed that by making him an idiot as soon as he left the eyrie and hat no one back there to tell him about Mords schemes. In the first few seasons/books, Lysa told him what Mord has planned for the future of the realm. Also he hid Marillion in the Eyrie for future plans
Really fun video. Thank you. You didn’t remember who Mord was, who I loved in the TV show, although he only had a small part. He was the jailer at the Eyrie overseeing Tyron’s confinement in the sky cell. Tyron promised him gold - “no gold” Mord kept saying because Tyon had no gold on him when in the sky cell - but Tyrion “always pays his debts” and gave Mord a bag of gold when he left the Eyrie after Bron won Tyron’s trial by combat. 🤺
I dont really agree with putting evil characters in the lowest tier just because they are evil... especilly Ramsey and Joffrey, they are good characters (not morally tho :D )
@@QuinnTheGM wow, quick answer :) Well, everyone has his own taste, and I agree on the schemers (did I spell that right?). Intrigue is always a fun part of a story, but sometimes I love the villains who are just deranged and no redeeming qualities. They are just fun to hate :)
You're not alone friend! I love Ser Arys as well and would love for him to survive and be beside Arianne when she eventually finds Young Griff. That would be an interesting tense moment!
I’m kind of confused what your metric is for ranking these characters. Is it just your personal liking of each of them? Is it their impact on the story? Is it their character depth? Explaining that before the video would have been good, because as I was watching it seemed like there was lots I personally disagreed with and I can only assume that is because you were ranking based on how much you liked xyz characters
I would have included Gerion, Tygett and Tytos Lannister. Especially Gerion as it’s possible he’s not dead and could reappear to become regent to Tommen.
L for such a low place for my Glorious Prince Quentyn the Dragontamer. I'd like to see the look on your face when he flies to King's Landing on top of Viserion, says "It's Quentin' time", Quents all over the sparrows and takes the Iron Throne for himself (What is delusional may delude, but only copes, harder and stronger)
Jon is overrated. Don't get me wrong I agree his best was storm but nah he's no S. He's got a lot of boring chapters, I think his best is still to come.
I love your content and I listen to all your videos and I know it was a lot to rank all these characters but I didn’t like how you ranked some based on how much you like them or whether they’re a good person or not while you ranked others based on how good they are as a character.
This ranking was entirely based on just how much I personally like them, and sometimes their morality plays into that. I may do a more objective one someday in the future!
I dont get why the list included her but not her daughter, who has a (marginally) larger role becazse cersei mistakes her for tyrions whore and has her whipped in order to threaten tyrion
Thank you all for watching! If your favorite character wasn't on this list, be sure to let me know who they are and I may do another ranking someday.
I can't decided, there are so many characters... But Ned Stark was my favourite character to read.... I also Like Ser Arther Dayne so much that I'm obsessed with Ser Arther Dayne...

oberyn deserves to be S tier
nah man how is Gilly more interesting than oberyn
this is what happens when you leave a complex political fantasy series on a cliffhanger for a decade and the fans have to cope with what they have
Hey I’ve only been waiting for what, 6 years? I read the series for the first time in 2016. Imagine what may happen if I get to a decade!
@@QuinnTheGM So did I.
Finally someone else thinks Jon Snow in the show is too perfect at everything while in the books he is much more vulnerable and human
The books are superior to the show.
I have to say I think I like all the characters in the books more than the show. Just everything about the books is better overall.
Jon in the books is your typical hero who started low but rised in the ranks, very cliché and unoriginal
I know, especially he speaks about being handicapped since book 1 because he burned his sword hand and he complains about it and mentions it often early on.
Not necessarily mean yeah she may be some kind of bad ass warrior and everything but deep down he’s not perfect emotionally although he does have potential of being Azur Ahei reborn

I recently reread a Feast For Crows, and Id totally forgotten about him and how sad his death was.

I just realized that Bran Stark, one of the main characters of the series, isn’t on the list. Which I find hilarious in a list of 239 characters
i have been staring at this list for a WHILE bc i also couldn't believe it like they have HIS wolf, the three eyed raven even osha on here but not bran ?!? 😭
All-Bran confirmed
So far I didn't see Bran and Smalljon Umber. Though I might be wrong on the latter
Brans terrible
Bran is easily the most boring character in both the show and the books. He just hasn’t done much
Dolorous Edd is absolutely S tier can’t believe the disrespect to this man.
He wouldve expected so.
@@kevinerives8975he would have expected to be put in either D for Dolorous, or even E for Edd.
“I suppose it’s not so bad to be low on the list. If I was too high, I’d be like to fall off.”
I imagine that’s what Edd’s reaction to his placement would be
Absolute travesty that you put Nimble Dick Crabb in D tier. At least B tier. The fact that he was trustworthy was great.
I think roose bolton deserves to be higher. I like how Hes mysterious and a schemer and how every scene he just whispering but everyone fears him.
Roose is S tier for me. A character that elevates the story he’s in.
Agree
Dareon: nice boots, S-tier for sure
Forgot about the boots :(

S is mine by right. All those who deny it are my foes
I would have included Gerion, Tygett and Tytos Lannister. Especially Gerion as it’s possible he’s not dead and could reappear to become regent to Tommen.

Young griff Jon snow are my favourites

not puting ser barristan the bold in S tier should be a crime
Robb is top of S tier
boring.
If Catelyngoes the insane, messed up way I think she will in TWOW she immediately jumps to the top of S Tier. Stoneheart breaks the scale.

4) Jamie
5) Stannis

TFW you get bumped down twenty places because Quinn misread your name.
If Strong Belwas is not number 1..
If hot pie and ser pounce are not top 10 im gonna be pissed
Aggo, Jhogo and Rakharo are the three Dothraki Queensguard.
Is this a tier list of how interesting they are or how likeable they are? You put the 2 best Villains of the entire series into the B tier...
How much I like them!
Could you link the tier list? It'd be fun to make my own.
Arch is A tier imo
Penrose in C is devastating 😢
Robb Stark died thrice after this video
My man Quinn you did Roose wrong, guy deserves at least a B spot (Though Im probably biased)
Not Sigorn in d tier 😭
Davos Seaworth is one of my favorites as well.
why robert arryn is wearing suit and tie?
He’s a formal little lad
Bro ranked Robb’s wolf higher than Robb 💀
I didn't ask for it but now i'm on it. 😂
5:10 Brothel madame

c'mon Mace defeated both Baratheon bros in the Rebellion... that's gotta count for something

Why am i seeing the list reversed, the S-tier characters are on the D-tier
isnt aggo one of dany's bloodriders?
Selwyn of Tarth The Evenstar is S tier
Darkstar is the worst.
My dark horse favorite is The Iron Captain himself, Victarion Greyjoy 💪😎
Roose Bolton D-Tier jeez.
10:13 wdym you don't know who the harpy is?
how come you seem like you support Aegon VI but also Stannis?
I’d move Ned up to S tier.
