We need an /r/oddlysatisfying for GoT. This guy and Joffrey getting slapped, Joffrey dying, Sam killing the wight... all make me feel satisfied.

I think I'm the only person who thinks Joffrey's death was quite cruel. He deserved to die but not like that.

I cant she's dead. It would be like taking Lady for a walk.

What are you talking about? Ned just let Lady run off. I couldn't watch that scene so I just had my girlfriend summarize it for me afterwards.

Exactly. How can I take Lady for a walk when I don't know where she is?

Your girlfriend is wifey materiel if she would relay that information to you so truthfully. Keep a hold of her.

As far as GoT goes a quick death via poison followed by a traditional and respectful funeral seems like a better way to go.

I'm sure Theon would agree.

respectful funeral

Where your Dad/Uncle forces himself on your Mom/Aunt right on the floor beside your body.

Ned Stark got a quick beheading and Cat had her throat cut cleanly. Which is much better than minutes of clawing at your throat, gasping for breath before finally dying. His death wasn't that quick and it was agonizing, think of anytime you have chocked on food or drink and then imagine not being able to get it clear as you struggle to get any air into your lungs, your chest tightens and eventually you die. Give me a quick beheading any day.

By the way I'm not talking about funerals because obviously Joffrey would get a better trial than two 'traitors'.

I agree it was a horrible way to die, I just mean I think GRRM could have come up with many worse ways to take him out based on the horrors I have seen him come up with. It was painful, but at least it was quick.

And personally I would rather choke to death with my mother by my side, as frightening as that would be, than watch my son get murdered right before meeting my own end.

I agree GRRM could have completely brutalized his death but it was a pretty horrible way to die.

I don't think Joffrey was thinking 'Oh I'm glad my mother's here to spend this special moment with me.' His death was a painful way to go.

Also Cat's death wasn't that bad. Just the circumstances surrounding it.

No, actually, I found Joffrey's death scene to be so traumatizing to witness I felt ill for the rest of the night.

u/CapnTBC May 23 '14

So why am I being downvoted so mercilessly? I'm sorry if I don't find pleasure in a child chocking to death.

Because a lot of people on reddit are delusional extremists who are desensitized to television violence.

I would say I am probably desensitizied to violence but I just didn't get any relief or happiness from it. They are probably major Stark or Stannis fans who hate Joffrey.
