The Most Hated Characters in Game of Thrones


Because I'm on a Game of Thrones binge, I decided today to write about the most hated Game of Thrones characters. Why? Because there are a LOT of hateful characters in the series. It would be no understatement to say that in the series there are more dislikable character than on any other. However, besides Joffrey, no one really agrees on what character to dislike or hate more than whatever other character. In that spirit, then, let's make a countdown: The most dislikable Game of Thrones characters. There are so many, however, that to just do a top 5 would be a disservice. Let us then rank them in five tiers. I should note that while many other characters may fit into each tier, I will only focus on the few most dislikable ones.

This is a sister post to the most likable characters over at my page.

Most Overrated Game of Thrones Characters



This is a sister post to a Most Underrated Characters in Game of Thrones one I put up in my page. It seems to me upon re-watching Game of Thrones that there are some fans out there who heap undeserved amount of love unto certain characters. I used to be one of those. I used to think that Daenerys Targaryen, Mother of Dragons, was one of the best characters. I mean, she had dragons! But upon re-watching I have come to the realization that she, and many others that fans think are great, don't actually deserve the praise they get. To get some idea of where fans stand, feel free to look at Rolling Stones' list of "top40 memorable characters", the results of the IMDB favorite characters fanpoll, and the rather interesting results from Outbrain's study (and the interpretations by PC Mag). No doubt you, dear reader, agree with some of them. Trust me, see the series again and you will find yourself disliking most of these "favorites". In that spitit, then, let us create the most wonderful and realistic "tops" Game of Thrones list ever created:
