HBO's A Song of Ice and Fire
Valdís:
Except that's not what I said. There's a difference between "good guy, happy ending" and "viewed in a sympathetic light, but is literally a rapist or murdered an ex etc.".
94ssd:
I'm going to agree with Valdis. The problem is not that he's a character who committed rape (although that seems like a really unnecessary addition), you can create a character who does evil things. The problem is that the writers of the show are putting a lot of effort into still trying to make him out as a sympathetic character.
Thrillho:
I'm a little bit worried that they don't actually know he committed a rape.

What Gareth said, they didn't seem to realize they added that.
LeeC:
For the record I was talking about Tyrion, and I don't recall him being a rapist. Now the Jamie situation...yeah show producers really fucked up that story arc after that and there is no way to back pedal that one. It really seems like they totally didn't even consider what they were depicting, even in the editing process. I am sure GRRM just facepalmed like crazy after seeing that, considering (from what I've heard) it didn't go down that way in the books he wrote.
