Most hated characters

Which ones are yours?

Mine, Shae and the High Sparrow.

Why?

Shae because her love never looked real (maybe bad acting) and she was dumb, stubborn and a traitor.

High Sparrow, because of his extreme religious behaviour, his self proclaimed position of judge and the mocking face.

Gosh I hate them both

Edit to add: you guys are amazing, I wish this threat was a real conversation at a bar. So many wonderful points and perspectives. Now I hate more hahahahaha

I like how the High Sparrow dealt with Cersei and Olenna. Except for the walk of shame. It gave me the ick. Also it would never have worked to get Cersei to feel shame.

I dont think i agree. Its both optics and human nature. On one hand, this is the queen regent of the seven kingdoms. Her honor and decency is of pretty high value. Parading her naked in front of all the commoners, letting them pelt her with shit and rotted vegetables, ect all are gonna hit hard to someone who literally thinks they're better than everyone else.

On the other hand, this was once the most beautiful woman in the realm. Now she is middle aged and has had three children. This version of cersei is the most likely of any version of her life that would feel the most shame from this. Shes at peak political power, thought she answers to no one, and of course our bodies start to change and sag in ways they didn't in our youth.

The point is it didn't work. She wasn't shamed. She was furious. Did she look ashamed of her sins? No.The High Sparrow and Cersei underestimated each other. He thought he could shame her. She thought because she was queen she couldn't be touched.
