Game of Thrones TV Thread **HBO-Purists ONLY**

I mean good guys as far as protagonists for the audience. GoT has those, albeit in some ways inadvertent. Regardless of how the books do it, the show has to use protagonists. From that perspective, I think fans are more pro-Lannister than pro-Stannis because of Tyrion, but if he dies at the hands of the head Lannisters, it could change a lot. Regardless, I think Sansa and Littlefinger will gradually become protagonists. Sansa would already be one if she were actively trying to fix her victimhood

This is a big part of the reason why it seems so infeasible he's going to die, it would change the whole perception of the Lannister family where they're only a bunch of sour cunts.

Agreed on Sansa who is finally in a safer environment and showing signs of breaking out of her shell. I can't shake the feeling Littlefinger isn't going to be too big for too much longer. Not that he's going to die but just take a lower role. His behavior, the contrived way he speaks doesn't really fit too well with a protagonist we need to sympathise with imo.
