It’s a shame they didn’t had a good follow up for that moment. Tyrion exchange with Jon was stellar but Jon didn’t really fully understood what Tyrion was teaching him, or was not ready to received it yet.
I guess, but outside of cat and sansa being cunts to him, Jon is never really ostracized as a bastard. And even in the books, we don't really see thst many bastard get the short end of the stick. Tyrion is colored by his own upbringing
Those exchanges set the tone so well, sharp dialogue mixed with vulnerability, you could tell right away these two would define a lot of the heart of the show.
I particularly like the part (which I think is only in the book) where he says "Make it your strength, then it can never be your weakness". I was born with a disability with my motor skills which mainly manifests itself as bad balance and unstable, shaky hands which has led to some truly terrible handwriting. However that led to me learning how to type earlier and made me a lot more familiar with computers which is still helpful in my day to day life when I do work with computers or assist others who aren't as familiar.
Once the source material ran out, the dialogue became painfully bad. The example that always comes to mind was Davos reading a message about the white walker threat and coming to the incredible realization that Dany's dragons breathe fire.
A little known fact about this scene but Eminem watched this right before rap battling Papa Doc in The Shelter and it was the break through he needed to embrace his white under privileged childhood and win.
I was quite young when I started GOT and I had not watched many movies or shows before.
GOT was probably the first time I realised I was looking at a person with dwarfism and I was feeling that person. It wasn't actually the first time I had seen an actor with dwarfism in a movie, but the previous times there were heavy prosthetics and fantasy settings.
That speech was fine though and it makes sense that a character like Tyrion would think like that. Story do reunite people and stories have been a huge aspect of this universe. I personally wouldn't be surprised if the concept of the speech came from George, actually.
The problem is that Bran becoming king wasn't developped, so the speech didn't really hit, because of that.
For the first three seasons I kept thinking "God I wish the entire Lannister bloodline would be wiped off the face of Westeros." Followed by "Oh, yeah... Tyrion."
Tyrion is like that one drunk and funny uncle in the family who everyone loves except his father but he’s only doing so to hide and mask is own personal trauma of childhood neglect and feelings of insecurity…. Oh wait
Really the wittiest character who realised that in order to get far in the Game, he had to use the one thing that wasn't nerfed from birth - his mind 🙏
GRRM has confessed he most enjoys writing Tyrion, and also identifies with him, even calling him a "horny little devil." He also likes writing Arya, though he's not like her. I think.
It's not just the line, it's how he delivered this line and other lines about himself after all he is a "dwarf" not acting as a dwarf, so in a way he was not acting there!

I really loved their interactions in the 1st season.
"And you, what's your story Bastard?"
"Ask me nice and I'll tell you, Dwarf"
That pairing hooked me early too, Tyrions wit bouncing off Jons quiet honesty made those scenes feel grounded even in such a brutal world.

Same here, Tyrion has the best lines

Same, dude. Like, pretty much exactly same.
“And now I've struck a king! Did my hand fall from my wrist?”
Once the source material ran out, the dialogue became painfully bad. The example that always comes to mind was Davos reading a message about the white walker threat and coming to the incredible realization that Dany's dragons breathe fire.
I think it was season 5 where the dialogue fell off a cliff. Tyrion's lines were mostly 1 liners about dicks (or lack thereof) and drinking.
But, haha little drunk man funny!
Seriously though it's a crime what they reduced some of the characters to.
Back then he drank and knew things. Then he drank so much he forgot everything.
A little known fact about this scene but Eminem watched this right before rap battling Papa Doc in The Shelter and it was the break through he needed to embrace his white under privileged childhood and win.
Who is eminem? I thought B. rabbit defeated papa doc?
Pretty sure he didn’t win. Pretty sure he was thrown off hell in a cell and crashed through a table.

Sadly Tyrion was reduced to “who has a better story than Bran” by the end. Margy captured my interest most, hard to say why

Tyrion was reduced to cock and story. So...cock story? OR A Song Of Cock and Story.
“All dwarves are bastards, yet not all bastards need be dwarves.”
His chapters in the books are consistently top tier. Him and Jon and maybe Danyerys were consistently the chapters I eagerly waited for.
I think Tyrion could relate to Jon’s status of bastard due to being “unwelcome child” in his family. It was nice to see him treat Jon nicely.
For the first three seasons I kept thinking "God I wish the entire Lannister bloodline would be wiped off the face of Westeros." Followed by "Oh, yeah... Tyrion."
Tyrion: the ultimate roast master always. That wit tho

Good life advice, generally speaking.
I’m pretty sure someone threw him out of a window in an old movie.
Lines like this make me think in an early draft these books were meant to be a YA series
Season 5 onwards ,Tyrion is hard to recognise
Really the wittiest character who realised that in order to get far in the Game, he had to use the one thing that wasn't nerfed from birth - his mind 🙏
I knows things
Considering that George R.R. Martin projects himself into Tyrion, this is hardly surprising.
His confession to Lysa Arryn in series 1 was comedy at its finest 😂
and that made him tyrion
Well, until season 5.
I thought one of the best lines in the series was when Cercei was talking back to Robert and he slapped her.

Tyrion has more chapters than any other character by far in the books
I love
Yes, the opening lines for S8 where gigabrain lines.
Because he was the author's Mary Sue...
