Game of Thrones Madness, Sweet 16: Vote for your favorite characters!
By Corey Smith
Well Game of Thrones fans, we’re officially past the halfway mark of our March Madness-style tournament. We started with 64 of the show’s most popular and infamous characters, plus Hot Pie. You, the fans, have whittled them down to our Sweet Sixteen, and the carnage isn’t over yet. Before we jump ahead to the next round’s matchups, let’s take a look back at the previous round.
Check out Game of Thrones swag at Entertainment Earth.
Overall, most of the favored seeds won in the round of 32, which featured more than a few fan favorites facing off. Tywin Lannister pulled off a minor upset when he sent the Night King packing, while Jon Snow defeated Daario Naharis and Daenerys Targaryen bested Ygritte, each of them defeating their lover’s ex. Oh, and Hot Pie was knocked out. And we’re sad about that.
We’ve got some heavyweight throwdowns in the Sweet 16. Jon faces brother/cousin Robb, Ned and Jaime get to finally finish what they started on the streets of King’s Landing, and the Hound looks to make like his brother and crush Oberyn Martell. And if that’s not enough, Tyrion and Tywin square off one more time. Feels like they are forever going at it. Here’s the full bracket:
Remember: vote using any criteria you like. Favorite hair style, who would win in a fight, who pays more taxes…It’s entirely up to you!
