Why all the Joffrey hate when there's Tuco?

[The Last Nomad]

Because Joffrey is a king... He's supposed to be a good guy, standing up for his country men. And he doesn't do that, because he's such a despicable person.

Tuco on the other hand, in a meth dealer. Its expected for him to be an asshole(I've never met a meth-dealer who wasn't an asshole), the only people relying on him are Meth-addicts and I don't care about them like I do the citizens of Westeros

I don't watch Breaking Bad, but does Tuco, at any point, get sexually excited as he forces a whore to beat another whore to death at crossbow point.

If not, then... yeah.

Pretty much sums it up. Yeah is this really even a contest? I'm seriously this shouldn't even be a question as who deserves more hate.

 

[BiggyShackleton]

I don't understand this thread when no-one has mentioned Skylar, who manages to be the most fucking annoying character and doesn't even instigate whore fights.

Because Joffrey is a spoiled brat and an asshole. I know its not doing justice to Martin's writing to simplify a character to a single characteristic, but Joffrey is the epitome of "The Asshole". Every time he appears, he is being asshole-y... If he has the choice between asshole and not-asshole reaction to any given situation, he will take the asshole one, even when the other one does not require more effort.

That, and seeing Tyron slap him is awesome...

 

[Scarim Coral]

Tuco who? Yeah I don't watching Breaking Bad so more of my hate toward Joffrey!

 

[madkill]

Please get past Season 4 before talking about Breaking Bad, everything you could possibly ask at this point is already answered in the later episodes.

Oh, where to start...Jofferey had Sansa's wolf killed, had a poor butcher boy killed, killed Ned in cold blood, thretaned to rape Sansa, starved his people, and just kind of sucks at everything. Also, he's a terrible human being.

Tuco...stole a guy's liquor. And a gun. I mean, yeah, he tortures Blondie, tries to kill him a couple times, and he does kill people, three in the film, I think, but never in cold blood, and only when they were going to kill him if he didn't.

...why you're comparing the antagonists of an epic fantasy[footnote]A Song of Ice and Fire[/footnote] and a spaghetti western[footnote]The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly[/footnote], on the other hand, I don't know. What am I missing?

Capatcha: how quaint

EDIT: DAMN IT, I GOT NINJA'D!

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I forgot that GoT spoilerboxes might contain information from the books, not only the series.

 

[Rawne1980]

I don't mind Joffrey ... because I know what's coming.

 

[Denamic]

Joffrey is a great character.
Don't get me wrong; I hate the living shit out of the ************.
But we hate him because he's a shitty person, not a shitty character.

 

[Robot Number V]

Tuco is a grown-ass man and a meth dealer who was brought up by the cartel. At least there's a REASON for his horribleness. Plus, he's insane. So that's not really his fault.

Joffrey? He's just fucking crazy and evil for no damn reason. And he's arguably more cruel then Tuco.

 

[daibakuha]

People don't like Joffrey because he's a crazy asshole in a position of power, and he wins. When so many of the shows most honorable characters die off, but this crazy kid, who's a complete dick to everybody, just keeps winning.

 

[Amaror]

Tuco is only around for half a season or something then gets his. Joffrey will be around for at least the next two seasons of GoT.

Thank you for the Spoiler warning ... oh wait.

 

[Random Argument Man]

Joffrey has the same personnality of a xbox-live teenage asshole with power. I don't remember who said that, but it does feel accurate.

 

[Headdrivehardscrew]

Well, to people who watched Breaking Bad when it was first released, the Tuco thing is pretty much dead and buried and over, for three years and counting.

Little bastard Joffrey could easily continue to annoy us for another two seasons - at the very least. Many, many people will die because of Joffrey and his mommy dearest, while Tuco ended up just another victim of Walter White's pretty random desperate moves and illusions of grandeur.

Compared to the Joffrey character, Tuco was a regular choirboy that just diversified into drugs and a gangsta lifestyle.

 

[Headdrivehardscrew]

Tuco is only around for half a season or something then gets his. Joffrey will be around for at least the next two seasons of GoT.

Thank you for the Spoiler warning ... oh wait.

Aw, come on, the book that concluded Joffrey's fate was released in 2000 - and if the TV series really is the only thing you intend to put the effort of consuming into, know that you're missing out anyway... on an epic, big huge scale.

Here, have another - non-spoilery - snippet of the alternate reality original bit:

"...the only good thing that could be said of Joffrey was that he was tall and strong for his age."

So, in the books, Joffrey ain't the leptosomic, rat-faced weasel he's reduced to in the TV series. I still think it's all valid and good, since the actor is a splendid choice to the end of making Joffrey as despicable and loathsome as the character deserves.
