Re: SoST Round One: Victarion Greyjoy vs Loras Tyrell

Why do I have the feeling people are going to revel in the idea of Victarion beating Loras with an ironborn ugly stick?

So if Victarion wins will Sansa swoon over him?

As much as I dislike Loras, anyone who Jaime considers good has to be damn good.

Re: SoST Round One: Victarion Greyjoy vs Loras Tyrell

I would like for Loras to win but he doesn't stand a chance against ol' Vic!

Depends on weapons and arena, to my mind. Victarion gained a lot of confidence when fighting knights on ship board - they were out of their comfort zone. Take him away from his - who knows?

I think Loras gets unfairly picked upon, and is a very fair hand in combat, but I can't see him taking on Victarion.

Re: SoST Round One: Victarion Greyjoy vs Loras Tyrell

Remember Loras got taken down by the stronger, but less agile and less skilled Brienne with a brute force tactic. Seems like Nuncle would be as strong as Brienne, quicker and more skilled.....and much more ruthless.

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree. They're both arrogant, but Victarion has had several more decades to justify his arrogance. I can't help liking him, even though everything about him is morally repugnant.

OK, nearly everything. He's not as repugnant as, say, Joffrey. That is, he'd probably kill a cat but he wouldn't torture it.
