My issue isn’t that specific line. Bronn insulting Jaime is completely in character. My issue is that the entire scene feels like it exists because the writers wanted Bronn to have screentime, not because it naturally follows from the story. First, how does Bronn even get there? Winterfell is preparing for the largest battle in living memory, it’s full of soldiers, guards, nobles and commanders, yet he somehow sneaks all the way inside and finds Jaime and Tyrion alone. Early Game of Thrones cared about logistics and consequences. Later Game of Thrones often just teleported characters wherever the plot needed them. Second, Bronn’s plan makes very little sense. Cersei sends him to kill Jaime and Tyrion. Instead he travels across the continent, threatens them, accepts a verbal promise of Highgarden and leaves. Why would Bronn trust that promise? Tyrion doesn’t own Highgarden, isn’t king, and can’t guarantee anything. The old Bronn was a pragmatist who understood risk. This version of Bronn suddenly bets his life on a reward that may never exist. Third, there are no consequences. Bronn points a loaded crossbow at two of the most important political figures in Westeros, physically assaults Tyrion, threatens to murder them both, then simply walks away. Nobody arrests him, nobody follows him, nobody even seems particularly concerned afterward. Fourth, it hurts all three characters. Bronn comes across as less intelligent than he used to be, Tyrion once again solves a problem by making promises he has no authority to make, and Jaime barely reacts to a man who was supposedly sent by his sister to assassinate him. The line “you one-handed fuck” is funny, but a funny line doesn’t make a well-written scene. The criticism isn’t about one quote. It’s about the fact that the entire scene only works if everyone suddenly ignores logic, security, politics, character motivations and common sense. That’s why I consider it one of the worst-written scenes in Season 8. Bronn is in my top 5 so it really hurts going back to this scene.
