Top 10 Game of Thrones Battles We Need To See
If you think life is unfair in this world, try living in any kingdom or free city in Westeros or Essos in the world of Game Of Thrones. There are more murder plots and double crossings than in any daytime soap in history. And with each character lost, our appetite for revenge seems to grow. Here's our top ten list of fights we're dying to see play out to satiate our bloodlust.

When he's not indulging in vice and charming the pants off us with his roguish joie de vivre, Bronn is paid by Tyrion Lannister to serve and protect him. Jorah has willingly pledged fealty, and possibly love, to Daenerys Targaryen, the Dothraki warrior’s beloved Khaleesi, or queen. Two rooks on opposite sides of a chess game, these guardsmen need to duke it out.

Both men are trained killers with an affinity for Arya Stark, and both hold a desire to mold her into a warrior in their own likeness. But in this world there’s only room for one of their influences. Their battle would make an MMA match look like a round of patty-cake.

Cersei and Margaery are neck deep in inter-family politics, with Margaery set to marry Cersei’s son, King Joffrey, and Cersei forced to marry Margaery’s brother, Ser Loras Tyrell. It’s enough to make any alpha female flip. We bet watching these two highborn ladies go at it like prisoners in a yard would be the highest rated episode of the series, ever.

Both are members of the king’s council, vying for political clout and power. Varys, a castrated servant with one ear tuned to the gossip and news around the kingdom, keeps powerful people informed, while Petyr indulges the desires of King’s Landing’s finest in his brothel. It’s a classic tale of the eunuch versus the pimp, as it were. Could there be anything more apropos than two well dressed street thugs at odds with each other?

These two bastard sons have very different loyalties, and ethics, though it’s questionable if Ramsay has any. Their fight would be a real middleweight sensation.

The generals of their respective armies first crossed paths after Stannis stormed Kings Landing. Tywin won that battle, but the countdown is on for the rulers of each house to come face to face again. Someone’s going down hard.

Judging by little King Joffrey’s sadistic behavior—killing Ned Stark, mentally abusing Arya’s sister Sansa, being a creep in general—if Arya were given the opportunity to fight the inbred child king, she’d probably wipe the floor with him and complete the revenge that’s been on her mind ever since her father’s death.

Where Melisandre is guiding Stannis Baratheon into war with magic, she serves the Lord of Light, Cersei is struggling to keep her family in control of the seven kingdoms and son on the throne. Both are powerful women that know they have everything to lose, and will fight dirty to no end in order to win.

We’ve watched Tywin bully his son Tyrion for three seasons, giving Tyrion daunting responsibilities to manage, and Tyrion succeeding at every turn without recognition. The resentment on both sides continues to grow. Physically it’s David versus Goliath. Mentally they’re evenly paired. This battle of Oedipal proportion is what everyone is waiting for. The only question is when?

Make no mistake--Daenerys Targaryen, aka the Dothraki Khaleesi and mother of dragons, is coming to claim the iron throne, which she believes is her birthright regardless of what the other families believe. Her legend is spreading across the lands quickly. Flanked by three dragons and an army of freemen in tow, the kingdoms of Westeros better get it together… quickly.
