My thoughts on best fighters in Winterfell


Tack on another 20 pages if this catches on.

quote:

1. Jon Snow
2. Brienne of Tarth
3. Hound
4. Grey Worm
5. Arya (until proven otherwise)
6. Tormund
7. Jaime
8. Ser Baric
9. Pod
10. Gendry
11. Jorah
12. Theon
13. Ser Davos
14. Samwell Tarly
15. Tyrion


You've got to be kidding me

You think big dick Pod could beat Jorah in a fight?

This probably triggered 10 pages of content. Are we talking 1 on 1, or just an asset to the squad in general. Because although Arya is just an assassin that must of the bigger skilled soldiers would beat 1v1, they are definitely setting her up to have a Legolas esque impact fricking people up with arrows, throwing daggers and her darth maul staff. That being said, your list isn't bad other than the Jorah slander.


I'm thinking overall fighting technique and the ability to defeat another great fighter

Jorah is old bro... He only beat the Dothraki fighter because of his superior armor and almost died in the Meereen fighting pits

I have a feeling that is how it will go down. Have everyone that can retreat as they are getting overwhelmed. Lure all the dead into Winterfell and trap them in there as the dragons burn it down.

Pod has youth, speed, and strength on his side. Pod has been trained by a fighter who defeated The Hound

I think Pod and Gendry will emerge as the next "greatest fighters in Westeros"

They aren’t anywhere near that level especially gendry and they’re way too old to become anything like that. Most of the truly great fighters were at a very high level in their teenage years.

How exactly do you know Pod has speed and strength? There's a 5 second clip that makes you think, "huh, Pod might kill some people." There's literally nothing else that the show has shown to make you think he would be a good fighter, much less a great one that could kill a knight.

Neither of them could handle Jorah. Not even close. Gendry has the best shot, but Jorah is a VERY experienced fighter and has done it his whole life. He was defeating Dothraki psychos for chrissakes.

I respectfully disagree, Arya would slay both with easy (on or off the battle field)

OK so Gendry is estimated to be around the same age as Jon Snow and Robb Stark. Not a teeneager but still youthful enough

Pod's age is difficult to estimate but has been a squire of sorts throughout all 8 seasons. Late 20's would be my guess

he only beat that Dothraki Horse Lord because the fighter did not know how to fight a man in armor. The Horse Lord was faster and more agile than Jorah

Jorah was taken down by an unknown fighter in the Meereen pits! He would have been killed had the victor not been killed by another fighter before delivering the death blow

I'm not saying both are at the top of their fighting game yet. But I do believe these battles to come will show them both surprising the hell out of a lot of people.

Jorah is far better than Arya who’s fought in no actual battles and just a few years of training

Arya showed she "dances" like no other. She uses the other fighter's momentum and height against them. She toyed with Brienne

Makes sense and it might work, but they wouldn't have put all the woman and children in the crypt if they were planning on burning Winterfell down.

I guess there is no way Arya's face swapping comes into play in the battle episode. She hasnt face swapped in a little bit. I'd like it if she face swapped with Bran if the NK shows up, but Bran has the mark so I guess that wont happen.

I would like to see Dany retreat to the crypt with her back to Lyana crypt, then Lyana gets reanimated, and slits Dany's throat. That could be a dead wight helping her son moment, but that's not going to happen.

Lastly, Jorah would dog whip Pod with Samwell Tarlys sword. Pod wouldn't stand a chance against him.

How cool would it be if she put on the "face" of Syrio Forel giving her the size and speed of a full sized man?

Brienne could have killed Arya in a heart beat. Arya’s only out would have been to run away.
