Game of Thrones Review

A very brief opinion on Joffrey Baratheon.

Game of Thrones Review
Arbitrary Nonsense

If you haven’t seen Game of Thrones then stop reading this article and get out from under the rock that you’re living under. Now for those of you nerds who have seen it, please continue. I recently began Game of Thrones, and even though I’m not too far in the series I already feel like I have something to say. I’m sure you’re thinking to yourself “hmmm, this girl is about to say something profound”, and I hate to disappoint but here I am going ahead with it because at this point in season two, I truly need to vent about the evil nature of Joffrey Baratheon.

I know this subject has been already heavily elaborated many times before, but please bear with me. Joffrey is the ultimate villain. There may have been many before and after him that have done worse than Joffrey. However I believe it is critical to note that he is the ultimate villain because he is a child. Now I know Joffrey will never grow up, not because I did some research but because one of my inconsiderate professors decided to ruin a a major plot event, aka Joffrey’s death. However if he were to grow up I know that he would turn into a major problem.

Heres why: Joffrey lacks empathy and yet has a massive amount of power. We have all heard the expression “with great power comes great responsibility” and yet Joffrey ruthlessly abuses his power, and whats even worse is that he barely recognizes it. Having such a corrupt child in a position of power is bound to lead to the child being overthrown. After all with so many people to eagerly do his bidding, Joffrey is able to detach himself from the crimes in question so much so that he becomes a psychopath similar to our president.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
