#ThronesfestChallenge Task11

In my final blog for the #ThronesfestChallenge I will recast some Game Of Thrones characters.

This was my favorite of all the Tasks as Im always trying to cast characters that werent on the show or think of good Re casts for characters on the show that dont do a good job representing their character.

Ramsay Bolton - Burn Gorman

I know a lot of people like the casting of Iwan Rheon as Ramsay on Game Of Thrones but I didnt. Iwan is a great actor I like him I loved him in Misfits and On Vicious and ill Watch him in Inhumans whenever that comes out. He did a great job playing Ramsay however I feel he tried to make Ramsay a little Crazier than he is a little Joker Like whereas Ramsay is just Cold Evil Psychopath in the books. Also and probally my biggest reason for not liking this cast is that Iwan Rheon is just too good looking to play Ramsay. Ramsay is supposed to be ugly af. Burn Gorman played Karl Tanner on Game Of Thrones and is closer to the Ramsay in the books not handsome, cold, sadistic. I have to give a shout out To Teflon Tv who did the casting awhile ago and ive always liked it.

Yara Greyjoy - Josefin Asplund

A lot of people dont like the tv version of Asha Greyjoy. True she doesnt have the quick wit and comebacks of Asha but ive always been pretty fine with Gemma Whelan as Asha. However recently watching Vikings I saw Lagerthas girlfriend and thought she would be a perfect Asha. The character she plays on Vikings is pretty similar to asha a warrior woman who could look pretty if she wanted. Ive heard people also cast Kathryn Winnick as Yara but I see her more ad Val if she was going to be in Game Of Thrones. Josefin could pull off everything thats related to Yara the sarcasm the comebacks as well as the warrior.

Daario Naharis - Zach Macgowan

Im not too happy with Michael Huisman as Daario or Before him Ed Skrien as Daario. I just dont believe him as a good fighter or that he is devious. I see Daario as Zach Macgowan true they look similar however Zach is bigger easily looks like he has something he is hiding and may betray someone and is a believable fighter. Zach could pull off the charismatic warrior who seduces Dany but also is in it for himself always. He always has a devilish look in his eyes even when smiling. I know Zach from playing Charles Vane from Black Sails a character similar to Daario.

* On a side note Everyone Should Watch Black Sails

Mance Raydar - James Purefoy

Ive always hated the casting of Mance even before I read the books. We here about this guy north of the wall who has united all the Wildlings and we finally see him and hes a big disappointment. I dont believe show Mance couldve climbed the wall and gotten to Winterfell and fit in with everyone there as not to get noticed. I dont believe the Wildlings would unite behind show Mance its bad casting. The Actor who plays Mance has to be good looking, have charisma, and a scheming side to him as well as just a fearless attitude. I think it should be James Purefoy good looking guy his age is closer to the character of Mance and he seems like a politican he of course played Caesar in Rome convincingly and I think he wouldve been an Awesome Mance. Originally the show runners wanted Dominic West to play Mance however He was already doing another show he has since stated he regretted not taking the role. Im not sure how Dominic West wouldve been but hes more believable as the King Beyond the Wall than Ciaran Hinds.

Robert Baratheon - Dean S. Jagger

I love Mark Addy and as far as acting goes he was great as Robert. However I dont believe he used to be the baddest guy in Westeros he doesnt look like a fighter. I think a better cast for King Robert wouldve been Dean S. Jagger who played Smalljon Umber On Game Of Thrones. Dean wouldve been able to pull off the jokes of Robert and the Drinking and whoring and that you could look at him and tell he was handsome in his youth. Dean wouldve been believable as a great warrior after all he was a beast as Smalljon you see how fierce he was in battle. The only problem with Dean would be he isnt fat but he couldve gained weight give him a bucket of chicken or put him in a fat suit and you have King Robert.

Euron Greyjoy - Mads Mikkelsson

If there is one character in Game Of Thrones that is in desperate need of being recast it is Euron Greyjoy. Really not just a recast he needs an entire overhaul they need to re do everything theyve done with Euron. Now I think Pilou Asbaek is a good actor I haven't seen him in anything honestly but I like how he delivers his lines as Euron. I honestly feel very bad for Pilou because even before he began to play Euron everyone online was talking about how bad the casting was and then later on how disappointing show Euron is. I mean its not Pilous fault any of this hes just the wrong person for the role. It appears to be a clear consensus that Mads Mikkelsson shouldve been Euron. Even before they thought of casting Mads people were saying he should be Euron. If you loom online and type in Euron Greyjoy pictures of Mads come up. Euron has to have a sensuality to him an element of weirdness an aura of danger and evil and Mads Would be perfect for all of that. Its just a shame that people who just watch the show dont even take Euron seriously and dont view him as a threat. In reality he is the Storm coming for all of Westeros.
