Tv/Movie Fantasy Crossover Thread

[billchao]

A discussion in another thread led to the creation of this thread. Here we can discuss characters from one movie or series and insert them in another's world. We're going to start with Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad. How would Walter White/Heisenberg do in Westeros?

[nevets88]

Maester White I presume? He would definitely be someone like Luwin, but more shifty. And he'd never survive past season 1. :-) Actually, given his proclivity to escape baddies in BB, WW would survive longer than that in Westeros or Essos or wherever. Would he have cancer though? He'd probably find some magic potion to cure himself.

Walter White would last just fine. He dealt fine with some baddies in his show.

Jesse would be fine too. He'd be the guy who sleeps through the Red Wedding, or is drunk in the bathroom and nobody notices him, and then he wanders out later to piles of dead bloody bodies and be like "ehhhhh???"

You know who would die an early death? Anna Gunn. Thank goodness.

Those who survive the longest are those who know when not to stick their neck out. Ned learned that the hard way. I think Walter knew when to go into hiding and when knew to press.

Later in the series he showed some high level plotting and scheming that would help him the long run in GOT. Not sure about his ability to figure out the overall plots of what is going on around him. Sometimes he just seems 2 steps behind, though then he usually finds away to end up one step ahead at the right time.

I think Jesse would be good until he calls the wrong person a B****, then he might get killed.

Early Walter White? Maybe, if he was lucky. He picked up most of his skill as the show progressed (which is part of what made the show great. Character development. Not enough shows do that anymore). Heisenberg would thrive like Petyr Baelish.

Jesse would be fine too. He'd be the guy who sleeps through the Red Wedding, or is drunk in the bathroom and nobody notices him, and then he wanders out later to piles of dead bloody bodies and be like "ehhhhh???"

Agreed. He has a knack for getting out of trouble. Plus, he probably wouldn't be perceived as much of a threat.

You wish. George R.R. Martin has a tendency to kill off characters with "good" traits and keep the most obtuse and frustrating ones.

I see a lot of similarity between early Walter and Ned Stark. Ned was cautious, too. He just failed to grasp the scope of the subterfuge. Walter didn't quite "get the game" at the beginning, either. The difference is, Walter got the benefit of being the principal character in his series

I think the biggest difference between the two is Walter's ability to scramble. Ned thought he was still in control, long after he wasn't. Walter knew when it hit the fan, and acted accordingly.

Didn't Walter White blow up a drug dealers apartment or whatever very early in the series? I think sometimes you guys forget how quickly he picked things up.

Yeah, tucos hideout or lair or whatever it's called. Season 2 I believe. He did precisely what needed doing when it needed doing. Tried to figure out a way to not kill crazy 8 in jesses basement until he realized he had no other choice. Hed be fine on GOT.

No one is fine on game of thrones. :)

Well actually he killed two drug dealers in the pilot episode. Then tried to kill himself when he thought the police were coming. He didn't blow up Tuco's place until after he misjudged his position and was forced to make a desperation move. GoT tends to be less forgiving to people who misstep. I'll say he certainly could do well in that realm, but it would be linked to a series of rather fortunate events, ala Tyrion Lannister. What about Hank? He's a pretty straight shooter. I think he lives or dies simply based on his allegiance. I'd say he would be House Lannister (because he is DEA, an agency of the government in power) and he'd be just fine.
