This dude must be a some kind of super beast in the books for people to keep hyping him up.

On the show, he gets dominated by Brienne of Tarth. He lances the Mountain in a joust competition but when Mountain gets off his horse to kick his arse, he was totally helpless and had to be saved by the hound.

So we saw him smash a bunch of extras in a battle scene. Every semi-competant fighting regular character has done that. What am I missing about this Flower Knight that makes him such an alleged badass?

In the books he was regarded as one of the best swordsman in the 7 kingdoms, the concensus was he's basically a young Jaime or even better. It also seemed pretty much accepted he was the best with a horse and Lance, which was confirmed when he beat the Mountain

Just disagree about that. At 50, hes still a top 5 swordsman.

Loras Tyrell is regarded as the best swordsman in the realm. And not just in the books either. Season 2, before Robb attacks the Lannister Army at night, Lannister soldiers are talking about who would win and all that and even they said Loras Tyrell is the best swordsman in the realm.

And why do we give Jaime a pass when he only has 1 hand now? If you can go back to Jaime in his prime, you should be able to do that with other characters in the show as well.
