Most Controversial Moments In Game of Thrones

Game of Thrones continues to be one of the most popular TV series though I started seeing it late but like I use to say dem no dey catch late come for season film. This is one series that is contains lots sex, disaster and emotional rollercoaster that is enough to keep people coming back.

This show won’t be as interesting as it is without some of the controversial scenes that the  writers decided to add to it and this has created moments that not everyone agrees with or they become a little too uncomfortable. With that been said I present to you the 10 most controversial and shocking moments in the series so far

1.      Grey Worm And Missandei’s Relationship

An argument can be made that too much air time has been given to the relationship between Grey Worm and Missandei. Some fans appreciate the uplifting tale of two lovers in a show that features lots of torture and pain, but many others don’t believe so much attention should be given to sub characters.

2.      Littlefinger With Prostitutes

Game of Thrones is well known for its gratuitous sex scenes, but the really unnecessary one came in You Win or You Die, Season 1 Episode 7. Littlefinger essentially taught two women how to go down on each other, described their naked bodies, and talked about his evil plans not related to what was happening.

3.      Loras Shaves Renly

The show decided to depict two gay characters by having them shirtless and shaving each other in The Wolf and the Lion, Season 1 Episode 5. The book made their affair a little more delicate, meaning the show just wanted to have a couple hot guys shirtless.

4.      Oberyn Martell’s Death

In The Mountain and the Viper, Season 4 Episode 8, the battle between Oberyn and Gregor Clegane ends with Gregor crushing his skull, pushing his thumbs right through Oberyn’s eyes. This is right after telling Oberyn’s wife that he raped Oberyn’s sister, killed her children, and crushed her skull in too. It’s emotional, but did the eyes really have to be squeezed in?

5.      Tyrene Sand

While the series insists that they were trying to create stronger female characters in the Sand Snakes, they arguably did a horrible job with Tyrene during season five. The worst moment was when she told Bronn, “You want a good girl, but you need the bad pussy.” It’s considered the worst line in the series.

6.      Casting Sibel Kekilli

One complaint from Game of Thrones fans have been the casting of Sibel Kekilli as Shae. The book depicts her as an infrequent character that isn’t as dramatic but the series uses her more. The German actress was a porn star in the past, and her acting ability is constantly panned.

7.      Jamie Rapes Cersi

In Breaker of Chains, Season 4 Episode 3, Cersei is suffering through the death of Joffrey. Jamie becomes completely out of character and rapes her at the Sept. The incident in the show is interesting considering that the book details Cersei as more willing in the exchange.

8.      Replacing Wights With Skeletons

At the end of season four toward the end of the journey of Bran’s vision, the show replaced Wights with horrible-looking skeletons with CGI. In the book, Wights are described as slow moving corpses that rose from the dead. The show wanted more action in this scene.

9.      Burning Of Shireen

In The Dance of Dragons, Season 5 Episode 9, Shireen was brutally burned at the stake by her father, Stannis. Despite her uplifting character growth in the past few seasons, the show killed her off despite that not happening in the book, drawing some fan outrage.

10.  Sansa Stark’s Rape

Perhaps the biggest controversial scene came in Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken, Season 5 Episode 6. Some critics blamed horrible, lazy writing or that the series was out of ideas when Sansa was raped by Ramsay after just being newlywed to Theon.
