Game of Thrones: Difference between revisions

** Magister Illyrio is overweight and has a high rank in Pentos.

** The Spice King is fat and apparently leads {{spoiler|well... led}} the Thirteen of Qarth.

Jaime attempts to murder a child and kills his own cousin but he is exceedingly loyal to his immediate family.

* [[Aerith and Bob]]: People from Westeros tend to have European names, some familiar (Robert, Jon) and others more exotic (Eddard, Sandor). People whose families hail from outside Westeros, such as the Dothraki and the Targaryens, have fantastical names (Viserys, Drogo). The last two kings of Westeros were Aerys and Robert, which is quite close to the trope name.

* [[Age Lift]]: In the books, the Ned/Robert/Catelyn/Cersei/Jaime generation are in their early to mid 30s while the Daenerys/Jon/Robb generation are in their early teens. In the show, the older generation is implied to be somewhere in their early to mid 40s and the younger generation are 16-18. This is less jarring than having fifty-something [[Sean Bean]] convince us he's 35 or having someone who looks 13 [[Harmful to Minors|play the lead]] in Daenerys' story, and especially since some of the scenes they'd have to film might in fact be ''illegal'' to film with an underage actor.
