In a second situation, however, his stature is definitely a negative.
Consequently, getting the upper hand on someone verbally is all he really has to enjoy. He hasn’t exactly had the easiest go of it. He’s killed his mother (accidentally) and father (on purpose), was charged with killing his nephew, and betrayed his sister. Remember, he’s the most famous dwarf in the world. He makes fun of Varys being a eunuch, and essentially says that retorts about his stature don’t mean anything. The first such conversation of the episode shows just how impervious to criticism Tyrion is. As a result, the mentalists of the Daenerys Targaryen’s advisors get plenty of time to have in-depth conversations. Tyrion obviously couldn’t/wouldn’t make a long trip on a horse – can he ride a horse? – but Varys is just lazy and prissy. Initially, Tyrion is enjoying a ride into Winterfell with his frenemy Varys.

I use writing as an avenue-an excuse to explore aspects of life and the world that I wouldn't normally be able to. Doom far more than the Fantastic 4 or something on what it's like to be a millennial who's aged out of the foster care system. My writing is likely to reflect my curiosity at any given point, which can mean anything from an article on why the MCU needs Dr. I follow my interests and let my passions guide my voice. On the freelance side of things, I tend to focus on entertainment, geek culture, vegan living, and Los Angeles culture. Stories are what interest me and writing has always been how I express that. Stories and Storytelling have been my passions for as long as I can remember, whether it's the stories written about superheroes, villains, or just people living in this world doing incredible and meaningful things. I am a freelance writer and an amateur human being.
It is this key attribute that gives Tyrion both the intelligence to see the bigger game that is being played, while also having the capacity to understand and empathize with the cripples, bastards, and broken things of Westeros. While Jon and Dany have been cut off from the finer points of living that comes with holding the name of one of the great houses, Tyrion is left to explore the inner workings of the powers that be while remaining outside those powers or adjacent to them.
There’s rarely a moment where he is on screen and there isn't a drink in his hand or somewhere nearby. Early in the series, it is made abundantly clear that Tyrion is deeply depressed. It is Tyrion, however, who is, perhaps, the epitome of all of these qualities.

In some way, shape, or form, these three are all bastards, crippled (by appearances, gender, and name), and they are all arguably broken when the series begins. Very early on in the series, Game Of Thrones makes it clear to the audience that Tyrion, Dany, and Jon are all connected.
