Stannis
Lord of the Rings vs Game of Thrones Popularity Tournament
Maybe John Noble's unbelievable intense performance skews my appreciation of the character too much, but for me this one is not close:
The final steward of Gondor FTW
The final steward of Gondor
There were more stewards in the fourth age (Faramir was after Denethor), but they served under the King as opposed to ruling.
Stannis the Mannis.
It seems that Stannis got the upper hand. What should be next?

Acting-wise, I'd have to pick Joffrey.
The Witch King and it isn't even close. I find it amusing people are voting for Joffrey because of how good his ACTOR is.
Says a lot about how unlikable the character is.
@metaljimmor: Well, if debated, the Witch King could be unlikable character too.
Yaaaah. But he's "unlikable" in that imposing, terrifying way. He does terrible things, but you still can't help but admire his strength.
If we're all being honest, Joffrey isn't the worst person in the show. Yes, he's sadistic and cruel. But so are most of the major players. We hate Joffrey because he's both those things AND a coward with no real power behind him. He doesn't have the same redeeming quality as, say, the Mountain. Gregor is a rapist and a murderer, but at least he's got his imposing physical might to make us go "Okay... Impressive, good sir." Joffrey doesn't have that. He just has our hate and none of our admiration.

I agree. It's like Voldemort and Dolores Umbridge. Voldemort can at least back it up and gets his hands dirty, Umbridge is just a whiny b*tch. Joffrey isn't intelligent brave, witty, skilled, tough... ad infinitum, he has no trait that makes you go:
He doesn't have a single redeeming feature, even Walder Frey you can sort of respect as a ruthless pragmatist to some degree. TWK is an evil c*nt, but he's also badass as hell. His name alone is just so cool. You know he's a pimp.
Exactly my point. Even Ramsay Bolton at the very least has his intelligence and his skill in manipulation. Joffrey quite literally has nothing going for him. Unless you admire his ability to tell his huge, personal bodyguards to beat up a defenseless girl... Or his ability to get slapped in the face by someone half his size and still not have the balls to do anything but get pissy.
Joffrey's best moments were when someone else put him in his place.
@metaljimmor: Have you seen this? This is more powerful speech from Joffrey than Witch King ever did.
The Witch King took a majority. Game of Thrones should bring some better ace.
Trolls vs Giants

Giants by far. They were so badass and there is a part coming up I can't wait to see. The trolls were all meh to me.
Trolls.
Trolls.
I'll go with trolls. When armored trolls showed up even the main characters were shocked.
Edit because I just saw Penderor's response.
That's not an epic moment for Joffrey, mate. It was him throwing a tantrum and Tywin putting him in his place quietly. No one at the table went to defend Joffrey because they all knew where the REAL power was.
"Any man who must say 'I am the king' is no true king."
Trolls.
Giant STOMP!
@metaljimmor: Any man that has to say I am your father, has no right for claim he is your father. If you understand me...
Trolls are going to war. Maybe the small one now?
