Even with his backstory and his parental issues, it still undermines what made his character great for four seasons, to tell a tragic story that wasn't worth the squeeze and make his final four seasons a hell of a lot less interesting. Bad writing is the explanation.DrYouth wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 12:53 pmHis turning dumb fits the story line perfectly when you look deeply at Tyrion's backstory.StCapps wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 12:48 pmI have another theory, it's called running out of good material, and a lack of imagination leading to him becoming an idiot with good one liners. Rating on Varys was the dumbest thing he ever did, he as slow on the uptake as Jon Snow at this point, like what the fuck?
We all have our longings and anyone of us can idealize the wrong person...
Good stories capture the frailties of human nature.
So yes... ratting on Varys was the dumbest thing he ever did... and that is perfectly fitting for a tragic story line.
Good material after all if you know anything about good television.
Tyrion used to a pragmatic in his pursuit of an ideal, now he's idealistic and blinded to pragmatism by wishful thinking. They wrecked his character to an end that simply was not worth it, it didn't make the story better for them to go this way, they just ran out of good ideas.
Lets have Tyrion travel to see Dany for a whole season while getting drunk and chirping Varys, then let's turn him into an idiot for two seasons, then let's have idiocy and blind faith get him killed, how sad, great arc there.
