Game of Thrones characters we’d love to see return from the dead…and some we wouldn’t
By Corey Smith
Bring him back — Joffrey Baratheon
Admittedly, this probably impossible, since Joffrey was laid to rest beneath the Great Sept of Baelor and the Great Sept of Baelor is now a smoking crater. Either way, we’d would love to see the gleeful mayhem that would ensue if Joffrey were somehow was resurrected for the show’s final season.
We’re guessing most of most of you, like us, stood up and cheered when Joffrey choked out his last breath in “The Lion and the Rose.” We’d argue that this kind of reaction is evidence of just what a good villain he was. We’d love to see his petulant temper tantrums wreak havoc in an all-new political climate. For starters, with Joffrey returned, Cersei would no longer be in charge of King’s Landing. Or would she? Would Cersei give up the Iron Throne to her son? Pardon us while we make some popcorn.
Look, we’re not saying we’d like to be friends with Joffrey, but the guy ranks among the show’s best baddies, and we’d love to see him do what he does best, if for no other reason than we would inevitably get to watch him go down in flames again.
