What’s Better than Slapping Joffrey?
Warning: First of all, this video has a spoiler for the end of Game of Thrones season 1, if this is somehow the first time you’ve accessed the internet since the final episode last year. Warning 2: Although this video is titled “How Game of Thrones Season 1 Should Have Ended,” it’s not in fact how Game of Thrones season 1 should have ended. It is, however, a depiction of a reasonably satisfying alternative to how it ended, because it centers around people hurting King Joffrey, and that’s fucking entertainment. Enjoy.
