@@speedwagon914 1. During the first season Ned is around almost constantly. He also is back for a few minutes of time-travelling Bran. 2. There are entire plotlines where Baelish isn't present at all (Winterfell in Season 1 and 2, Dorne, Braavos, Daenerys in Essos), or very little (Arya in Harrenhal, Sansa returned to Winterfell). 3. This is not about opinions, but facts. You can measure the time when Ned or Baelish are on screen.
Ned appears in every episode of the first season and has long scenes with almost every important character of the season (the Stark family, King Robert, Queen Cersei, Varys, Baelish, Jaime...). He is the main and nearly only character of the first season. While Baelish is a "puppet master" who stays in shadow most of the time and show off only for "revelations". This is just accurate that they share the same time on screen.
@PeterSedesse Well the name is from the books, and there he is not dead at all. There is actually a cliffhanger in the last book that suggests an entirely new story arc on Skagos. So what Martin intended for the character is something else entirely. As so many things sadly, the show became such a rush job after the first 3-4 seasons
Goes to show: It does not matter how long you are there, it is what you do that determines your impact and the lasting impressions others get from you.
It's literally an impartial ranking. Don't believe it, feel free to google it, and get the exact same numbers. Berics scenes are very rare, and very spread out. Even when the Brotherhood IS a part of the story, it's usually still other main characters interacting with each other, rather than him
11 minutes is pretty short. I mean of course he barely is in season 1. In season 3 he has the duel with Sandor and then maybe a few dialogue scenes (where they sell Gendry). In season 6 he appears a bit. But then in season 7 he goes around with Sandor, ends up at Eastwatch and is around for the entire trip beyond the wall. Also in season 8 he has a dialogue before the long night and then his final fight. That combined should be more than 11 minutes.
@@VectOPBRit's probably accurate, I added up all the minutes and it's comes out to 82 hours in a 74 hour series however that doesn't consider character's minutes spent together in the same scene.
1:57 Why is no one talking about Ros's 22 when in the books she is only mentioned a few times (i really even remember if she is mentioned at all) while in the show she seems almost like a secondary character related to important plots... Yeah, you know what kind of important plots.
Did you just make these numbers up? It seems crazy that people who died in the first season have more screen time than people who were throughout the whole show.
And that’s how you know the show is amazing-when even the characters who only appear for eight minutes in the entire series stay in your memory, and you know exactly who they are.
I have found that time on screen doesn’t matter when the writing and acting are good. I remember ALL these characters and the impact they had on the overall story. I have always loved Game of Thrones for its storytelling, fearlessness, and character development.
I was shocked that some have so few screentime, but u feel like they've been nearby all the time. Same about others who you barely remember, but they have so much. Also, about those ones, who have so much time for just 1 episode/season.
Guys, the reason y Ned has more screentime : as they've shown Ned as the 'main protagonist (more screentime)' in S1 until they killed him.. S1 was purely based on Ned. And as the seasons passed the characters like jon Snow, arya, jamie's screen time got increased as they've become more important.
He doesn't have many scenes he is in. Apart from his duel with the Hound in S3, the stupid fight against the ice bear in S7 and him forming a bericade in the library of Winterfell in S8 I think he only appears in a few dialog scenes with Arya back when he was leading the Brotherhood without Banners and later in season 7 with Jon Snow and in Season 8 with the Hound. And the three seconds when he was ordered to chase the Mountain by Ned in season 1 when he was portrayed by another actor. I think 11 minutes adds up.
Everyone talks about Ned Stark, but it amazes me how Khal Drogo has almost the same screentime than Beric and Thoros combined despite dying in season 1. And more screen time than The Mountain in the whole show.

The main characters are in order are tyrion and cersei they were at the top of the call sheet followed by jon and daenerys, and sansa and arya are the last of the main characters

Im not entirely sure how Thoros of Mir had more screen time than his partner Berric Dondarrion since Berric lived longer but I can tell you guys researched it.
He also has a very important role in the books. His voyage to Oldtown with Maester Aemon and Gilly is actually very good. A nice little personal story about them to balance it with all the grander tales. Good fantasy knows it can't be epic all the time because the grander moments lose its impact. Tolkien was also very aware of this. In a way both Sam's kind of have the same role in the story in that regard . They tell us to slow down, read a book, cook a nice meal... you know, stop amd smell the roses every once in a while.
Beric 11 min can't be true. just the scene of the fight in episode 3x5 is almost 4 min long. Then he is again in Eastwatch and Beyond the wall....no way it's just 11 min

@@kailashbanjare617 Yeah and thats the mistake. These numbers seem so low and wrong because they are. Obviously in nearly every Scene there are multiple of these Characters present, not only one, so the total screentime should be way above 100, probably higher than 200.

Him and Olenna: the true aces of the show.
Agreed, specifically the screentime he shared with Arya.

Well, that's simply not true according to the source material. The show only made him that later on as a lazy way to end his story arc.

Goes to show: It does not matter how long you are there, it is what you do that determines your impact and the lasting impressions others get from you.
