I always really liked tommen. If he had been the first born and raised to be king, I think he would have been a great king. He was kind and cared about individuals even if he didn't know them. He never wanted anyone to suffer. He had the personality to lead a very prosperous realm if he had been properly prepared and also had good guidance.

I think the biggest reason I rooted hard against Cersei in her POV chapters is because of Tommen, I just knew her scheming against Margaery would ruin whatever chance he'd have of a secure position.

too soft and too sweet for reality. should never hold power. for their own good.
From how he acts and thinks, he’s like his great grandfather, Tytos Lannister. He truly deserved better. It’s as how Cersei said, he may be the first person to sit on the throne that truly deserved to be there.

Poor Tommen. He died as a kind soul with his honor intact.
I really love the contrast between Joffrey and Tommen. Joffrey grew up all his live knowing he would be king, and was fed the rhetoric by his mother that he was entitled to anything he wanted, so the moment he got power, immediately abused it and demanded obedience that a God would possess. It made us think ""What if someone good had this power". Introduce Tommen. No doubt he has a kind heart, but truly lacked the will to rule, and was far too easily manipulated. Proving that being a nice person, doesn't make you a good ruler. You sometimes need the ruthlessness of Joffrey, but with the kind heart of Tommen. But both on their own are a disaster. It even got to a point where when the faith had begun taking over, people were wishing Joffrey was still king to destroy them. Yes, wanting Joffrey back. That perfectly shows the contrast

With the help of Queen Margaery, I think Tommen would’ve grown to be a good king. He was so young so things like that take time.
Fun fact; Tommen was only 9 in the books when he married Margaery.

Edit: in desperate times you need to make compromises like sell Tommen or the throne to another great House like Tyrell or Hightowers.

Wonderful as always Dean
i always felt sorry for Tommen
Tl;dw: Tommen was too good for this universe
Tommen had so much potential. If only he had Joffery's spine.
Loved Tommen in the show... however he was easily manipulated, high sparrow, Margery, yes kind but a king that could be easily manipulated could be a very big liability. This is how I viewed it and it’s only my opinion regarding his suicide. I think he knew his mother, Cersie had everything to do with the explosion and didn’t want to choose between his crown or his mom, as mean as Cersie was, and I’m sure he knew, he loved his mother, then also possibly loving Margery, feeling like he had no one because he couldn’t trust his mother, Tyrion gone, Mycella his sister gone, not sure exactly if he loved Joffrey or not, but his brother gone and who he thought was his father dead, this poor boy truly felt alone, if Cersie wasn’t off getting her revenge on the septor lady, she could of been there for him or at least tried to be. Now what I mean by easily manipulated, I mean Margery has stated before she wants to be THE queen, after Joffreys death she shows up to Tommen knowing full well he’s next in line, she manipulated him into marrying her, then the high sparrow comes, practically gives him an ultimatum about becoming one of them, and then he does. A king shouldn’t be this easily manipulated, but in the end, poor Tommen, if he wasn’t with a crazy family and had all the right people at his side, he would of been a good king.

I agree with you a hundred percent.. he was a weak imbecile just like his great grandfather.. he would've been a laughingstock had he reigned for any longer.. stupid boy..
Tommen is like Tytos Lannister. Game of Thrones is like dejavu. King Joffrey and Tyrion's relationship was like King Aerys and Tywin Lannister.
Good king tommen, best king
The contrast between Joffrey and Tommen is like King Louis XVI and Maximilien Robespierre during the French Revolution: Too much power: bad. Too little power: also bad, for different reasons.
Tommin was so sweet and kind and he was minipulatid till his deth it was so sad
Lovely episode!!!
Back then it would have been impossible to determine who the father was since there was no DNA test. Would have to rely on looks. Of course Jamie is her brother so she could have easily had kids with Robert and still had some that look like Jamie
@BabyConan41
5 жыл бұрын
normally that would be true, but the Baratheon genes are super dominant, and Robert's bastards all look like him, including the ones he had with blonde haired women. This is what Ned Stark figured out in that book he got from Pycell and from talking to all the suspected royal bastards of king's landing. Your point is why Robert never even suspected that they might not be his. (GRRM confirmed in an interview that he was never suspicious of them) Unless you really dig into the evidence, it makes perfect sense that his kids could resemble their mother more then him.

Wtf? Margaery was a grown woman using seduction to manipulate and groom a boy. Imagine if the genders were switch?
I mean the show makes it seem like he’s a bad king because we view the main characters as important but tommens decision to align witch the faith seemed to go well with the common people which is what a king should prioritize
His resolve when he commits suicide shows he could’ve been a great king, just got so manipulated
A King manipulated by anyone, is no king at all, he is just a Royal Seal that breathes.
Well I think his death is directly linked to the reason why you don't have a child on the throne
Kindness can create person, yet there must be a sense of reason with it.

Imagine if Tywin had been kind to Tyrion. Tommen would have had amazing mentors. Tywin would have molded him to be an incredible King. Between Tywin and Tyrion and even Jamie they would have made probably found a way to defeat the white walkers and have Daenerys neutralized.
When watching the show I kept getting confused as Tommen is played by the same actor as the son of Kevan Lannister, Martyn Lannister.
What's the song at the beginning it's so good I can't find it help !
I loved this character:) love the way he died:) iconic death :)

I heard one of the writers of this series pronounce Tommen's name and it was with a long 'O' as in Oh. So it was apparently Tohmmen.
Nice video bro as always, guys hit like on this comment if you want to see life of Khal Drogo, this is my personal opinion Dean has done a great job with this video I really appreciate his hard work but I feel Tommen.....

A Clash of Kings, SANSA I Princess Myrcella nodded a shy greeting at the sound of Sansa's name, but plump little Prince Tommen jumped up eagerly. "Sansa, did you hear? I'm to ride in the tourney today. Mother said I could." Tommen was all of eight. He reminded her of her own little brother, Bran. They were of an age. Bran was back at Winterfell, a cripple, yet safe. … “…The tourney is done. Get them all out of my sight." The master of revels bowed, but Prince Tommen was not so obedient. "I'm supposed to ride against the straw man." "Not today." "Mother said I could ride." "She said," Princess Myrcella agreed. "Mother said," mocked the king. "Don't be childish." "We're children," Myrcella declared haughtily. "We're supposed to be childish." The Hound laughed. "She has you there." Joffrey was beaten. "Very well. Even my brother couldn't tilt any worse than these others. Master, bring out the quintain, Tommen wants to be a gnat." Tommen gave a shout of joy and ran off to be readied, his chubby little legs pumping hard. "Luck," Sansa called to him. … Tommen raised the blade high. "Casterly Rock!" he shouted in a high boyish voice as he put his heels into his pony and started across the hard-packed dirt at the quintain. Lady Tanda and Lord Gyles started a ragged cheer, and Sansa added her voice to theirs. The king brooded in silence. Tommen got his pony up to a brisk trot, waved his sword vigorously, and struck the knight's shield a solid blow as he went by. The quintain spun, the padded mace flying around to give the prince a mighty whack in the back of his head. Tommen spilled from the saddle, his new armor rattling like a bag of old pots as he hit the ground. His sword went flying, his pony cantered away across the bailey, and a great gale of derision went up. King Joffrey laughed longest and loudest of all. … "Look," the Hound interrupted. "The boy has courage. He's going to try again." They were helping Prince Tommen mount his pony. If only Tommen were the elder instead of Joffrey, Sansa thought. I wouldn't mind marrying Tommen. [Tyrion arrives] … Yet Tommen put his spurs into his pony and galloped headlong across the yard, shouting with glee. … Tommen's breathless laughter echoed off the walls as Tyrion clapped him on the backplate, and Sansa was startled to see that the two were of a height.
