What  do you mean static character? He grew a beard after season 4.

The Tysha confession was one of the most jawdropping and heartbreaking reveals in the book. It would've been perfect drama material and it would've taken them less than 2 minutes. They're truly fools for leaving it out

It also screws up Jaime’s arc, because the news of Cersei’s infidelity caused Jaime to question his relationship with her, and the path he’s taken in life.

aka WHY a character does something is just as important as WHAT a character does

this aged REALLY well

D&D kinda forgot about Tysha.

I think Peter Dinklage being fairly handsome partly ruins his character. People aren't immediately revolted by Tyrion in the show but in the books he is disgusting.

Actually Tyrion very clearly DOES realize in the book that Shae doesn't really love him. He mentions it several times. He just willingly goes in denial.

I could never understand why they left Jamie's confession about Tysha out of the HBO story. it was just so easy to include and added so much depth to Tyrion.

If Tyrion was hateful and bitter, and he joined Dany, he might have contributed to her eventually becoming the Mad Queen.

"He kills Shae, confronts his father on the shitter, and murders him."
Best description of that scene I've heard

This confession changes both characters arcs. Jamie finally starts to open his eyes to what Cerci is, and how she controls him, and Others, with sex. I can't wait for Winds of Winter. I want the Real story. Not the hbo, watered down story.

Nice. Now do Jon.
"She's muh queen!"

Damn, after watching the series I really felt that they wasted the opportunity. Peter Dinklage is one hell of an actor and I feel that we were really robbed of seeing his performance portraying the vengeful, hateful, and spiteful Tyrion. That would have saved entire seasons and it would have been a true redemption of his arc especially in the final season where he learned that vengeance is empty.

I thought you were gonna touch more upon Jaime. If leaving out the Tysha reveal ruins Tyrion’s character arc, it absolutely DESTROYS Jaime’s Character arc. One of my favourite scenes from the books is when Jaime recieves Cercei’s letter pleading for his help against the High Sparrow, and he simply tears it apart and burns it in the fireplace, finally cutting himself off of Cerceis influence. That scene never could have happened without the Tysha reveal, and the series completely botched Jaime’s arc by having him return to save Cercei from Daenerys and dying together with her.

Yeah. In the books, Tyrion outright told Jaime that he killed Joffrey and Cersei was sleeping with everyone including the fool. That was the depth of his rage.
Tyrion had always been hated by everyone because his status as a dwarf made him abominable. And even in his own family, the only person that showed him any love was his brother. The only other person could have been his mother, but he killed her by being born. It's a tragic story.
The truth about Tysha caused him to lose his brother and thus everything.

In retrospect, this was one of the best videos describing why Tyrion became such a nothing characters over the last few seasons.

I think everything can be explained by saying the writers wanted to keep Tyrion likable.  They also excised Dany's faults for the same reason.  If their faults and the crimes they committed had been kept in tact, the final season still would have been a whiplash in characterization, but at least it would have been less so.

God damn this makes the exchange between Tyrion and his father at Tyrion's trial hit so much harder.
"I'm guilty of being a dwarf."
"You are not on trial for being a dwarf."
"I've been on trial for that My. Entire. Life!"

Tyrion going over the edge would’ve made the Dany storyline even more powerful.  That scene where Dany gives him the Hand pin and he says “I BELIEVE in YOU” would have been so much stronger if we’d seen him become a bad person, only to be pulled back by Dany, only to watch Dany spiral out of control.
