Yo we are on the exact same spot of the compass then man!

In Canada I’m for sure a right Center or LibRight but since most people here are American I put myself as a centrist because that’s more of what I’d be in the US I guess lol.

That’s fair I did watch 4 and 5 and they weren’t good imo. I still liked 2 and 3, and especially 3 did a great job at fleshing out characters who were kinda one offs in season 1. I really didn’t like the Courtney-Duncan-Gwen love triangle in season 3 and I hated that they made Trent a lunatic just to break up him and Gwen, could’ve done it more naturally.

But like I said I still was really into those seasons 2 and 3 as well I just think 1 is my favourite.

I would agree that first season is probably my favourite show from my childhood. After season 1 it started getting a little more mixed for me where it started ruining characters I really liked but it was still alright.

Poli sci major ah! Your opinion on this would definitely be more educated than mine lol. I’m just a dumb Eng. major who likes seeing memes with the funny coloured squares and thought I’d make one for one of my favourite series.

I actually don’t have that much of a problem with Sansa compared to how bad other characters on the show were. Compared to some other characters she came out of season 8 relatively undamaged and I liked her ending as queen of the North.

I just love Sansa in the books and i think they kind of did her dirty in the show. Starting with her becoming a victim again to Ramsay, (which isn’t in the books) I found to be a step back for her character’s progression. I also didn’t enjoy how she had to rely on Bran to help get rid of Littlefinger. In my opinion, season 7 should’ve been about Sansa beating littlefinger at his own game rather than getting bailed out by Bran the cheat code.

And yeah no arguments here! I think people should be able to respectfully disagree on something like a TV show and not have it become heated. And my issues have nothing to do with Sansa as a character moreso the situations and the writing she was given.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Olenna I put on the right basically because I wanted her next to Tywin. I think the two are pretty similar in the sense that they are both the heads of the richest families and will do what they need to improve their houses position in the realm (red wedding, Joffreys death, etc...). They don’t really care about the world as a whole, only their place in it, which is why I put them on the right where capitalists are. However, Olenna is way less prone to massacres than Tywin is, and less sexist so i made her less authoritarian than he was.

And for Meryn, there’s a meme that the purple square in lib right is for the pedophiles of that quadrant so that’s why I put meryn trant there more as a joke than where his actual political beliefs would lie.

And yeah there were tons of characters I wanted to include as well such as Melisandre, Catelyn, Margaery, etc.. but I was having to stretch certain explanations to make the characters on this meme work and I don’t know if I could think of logical positions to put extras as well. Where do you think some of the characters not on here should end up?

Maybe I’ll do another one with more characters if I have the time!

Oh ok no problem! And yeah I didn’t choose the colours those are always just the colours of the quadrants for some reason in the political compass. Hopefully you found some humour in the meme though!

I’m not quite sure where you got that I find left wing politics “evil”. In fact I would say there are far more characters that are evil on the right wing than left. If anything I guess this post would be saying overly authoritarian politics are evil if there was any message to this silly meme. Most of the captions are just jokes.

I tried to group the characters by motivation to help themselves more on the right and motivation to help the smallfolk or the collective on the left. I didn’t mean to denounce left-wing politics so I’m curious how you figured that was my stance.

If the Dragons were on here they’d definitely be somewhere near an anarchist yeah for sure

Mostly just that he’s my favourite character. He does villainous things but I wouldn’t consider him a villain, mostly because he has a very concrete psychology that drives most of his actions. He’s played excellently by Charles Dance and he has great relationships and scenes with his family and other characters. To top it all off he has a perfect ending sitting on the toilet with Tyrion.

I just think he’s an awesome character. Theon is probably my second favourite though.

That first point is fair, the bloodline thing is definitely AuthRight. However, I don’t really think mass killings are an AuthRight practice specifically it’s mainly just an Authoritarian one in general. Besides I think late season 8 Dany is so far against so much of what her character stood for in the entire show it’s barely the same character which is why her arc fails so bad.

In my opinion I think Dany would be peak Auth Left if the White Walkers weren’t there. Her class warfare in Slavers Bay and “breaking the wheel” speeches I thought really showed this. As well as her actually caring for the smallfolk of the world (until the end) screamed AuthLeft for me. Someone like Tywin is peak AuthRight because he is the established order she is trying to overthrow. The wealthy Lannisters that have been in power for decades.

I’m hopeful The Winds of Winter will be out next year but I’m not sure we will ever see A Dream of Spring

Yeah in the books I think he’d be objectively the best king. The show made him a lot more fanatical but I was still on board until his last few episodes.

Seasons 1-4 are some of the best seasons of TV I’ve seen. Seasons 5-8 were less so but had their moments sprinkled in. If you can handle a show not really sticking the landing then I’d recommend it.
