You mentioned how g.r.r.m likes to makes us fell guilty wanting to see the bad guy die a painful in your latest post about theon’s chapter. Tell me do you think the show downplays this as when joffery died audience reacted in cheats given the reaction videos?

Certainly, I think you’re right about Joffrey. The book turns that into something of a pathetic (in the original sense of having pathos) anticlimax, mediated by Sansa’s lack of feeling and Tyrion’s mixed emotions. The show didn’t do that anywhere near as much.

But I do think the show managed to change opinions on Jaime after the de-handing, and Theon after his extended torture.
