The Game of Thrones series is popular for deviating from the books. The majority of fans claimed that the novels are superior to the TV series. Certain actors delivered such outstanding performances that they surpassed the original work.
They created characters that originally lacked the depth and charm these actors brought. They gave us fresh reasons to care about the antagonists and supporting characters. Here are five examples of how the HBO series greatly enhanced the original work.
Disclaimer: This article contains the writer's opinion. Readers’ discretion is advised.
Tywin Lannister
In Game of Thrones, Charles Dance played Tywin with amazing strength. Every room he went into was under his command. Scenes from the books were incorporated into the show. He revealed a softer aspect of himself when he talked to Arya Stark at Harrenhal.
During those moments, he became a true human being rather than a villain. His brutality and intelligence were in perfect harmony. The book version feels disjointed because we never properly understood his point of view.
Margaery Tyrell
Natalie Dormer’s portrayal of Margaery in Game of Thrones was exceptional. It is through other characters in the books that her presence is brief. The show lets us see her playing the political game herself.
She was astute and a master manipulator of Joffrey. The audience could see how ambitious she was. She was an active player for her grandmother rather than merely a pawn. This Margaery was a strong woman who had her way.
Olenna Tyrell
Diana Rigg’s appearances in Game of Thrones were always a bright spot. As the Queen of Thorns, she made witty sayings a thing to remember. The performance allowed her to take on the strong men of Westeros, and she did it threateningly and humorously.
She was both funny and intimidating, a kind of trait that was unusual in her. She was portrayed in the books as a cunning person, but the series turned her into an icon. Her final episode featured her departure, which was considered one of the best endings in television history.
Bronn
Jerome Flynn made him into one of the most adorable characters of Game of Thrones. Although the books allowed him to fade with time, the show was prudent in not letting him go due to the love of fans who enjoyed his presence.
His relationship with Jaime Lannister provided a new vigour, full of humor that he never shared on the page. He was more than a hireling sword and developed into a good-natured ruffian who talked directly. The subsequent seasons were lifted by his character and provided the story with an unforgettable climax.
Jorah Mormont
Iain Glen gave Jorah Mormont a cordiality that the books had never projected. Jorah was constantly disquieted on the page with his obedience to Daenerys, and the show made him into an obedient and noble individual. Glen’s portrayal allowed the audience to feel his anguish and broken love, transforming him into a tragic figure.
He was simple to stand by, as he never compromised his loyalty even at times when his decisions were difficult. Dying on the battlefield while protecting Daenerys was his last act, and it seemed like a fair farewell to a warrior whose honor was his purpose in the world.
