Who is the main antagonist in Game of Thrones?
I am not talking just about Telltale's series but in general. It is between the Night's King who leads the walkers and R'hllor the Red God but the second one never made an appearance nor have we ever heard him talking while the Night's King has claimed all the regions outside of the wall and now he clearly threatens the entire Westeros. So i guess we can say that the Night's King is the main antagonist

R'hllor the Red God? There's only one god, and his name is Death.
Seriously tho - Night's King plot hasn't developed much, so I think it's too early to call him the main antagonist (although after Hardhome he's a good candidate). I suppose there's no one to call the major antagonist - everything depends on point of view.
There's not really a single person or creature that acts as the main villain. It's really greed and ignorance that makes Westeros such a terrible place that's the real villain. The War of Five Kings representing greed and lust for the throne as all that happened no one cared about the real threat to all of them. The White Walkers
Stannis cares about it from the very first scen he's introduced in, both show and books.
The Night's King is probably the endgame antagonist so I'd say him.
Same.
You're really committed aren't you...
I just correct mistakes when I see some.
for Rodrik/ Ashers story i think either Ludd or Torhen Whitehill depending on who you killed
For Gared I think it will be the Nights King or The Whitehills depending on weather you marched to Ironrath or stayed at the North Grove (but i have a sneaking suspicion that we will be forced into one of the two regardless of what we chose)
Season 2-
Rodrik/Asher- Thorren Whitehill or Ludd/Gryff
Gared- Night's King
Talia- Rikard Morgryn
Malcolm- Sons of the Harpy
Beskha- Everyone
The White walkers and the long night are obviously the ONE TRUE THREAT. But there are dozens of protagonists and antagonists, different for every POV character.
Sorry, i did not realize this was a threas about GOT overall, my bad
I don't think the red god is an antagonist at all. His followers (ie Melisandre) thinks they are doing the right thing to protect the people by bringing forth Azor Ahai and they're right in that regard. Even if their methods are unorthodox (ie sacrificing Shireen in the show), their intentions are good and pure. Just as real life history is when it comes to religion.
"Beskha-Everyone"
loooool
Robb never wanted the throne, just sayin
True. I wouldn't say he was greedy but he was apart of the war. Even if he had won independence for The North, he'd still have trouble with the walkers much more than if all the kingdoms were united
Imo it's sort of foolish to believe the word of a disturbed schizophrenic just because she sees things happening. So much destruction for the sake of an ancient prophecy that may not have anything of value to offer the world
The Night's King is the biggest threat to the realm
Although there isn't an overarching villain, the character who seemed the best set up to be the main baddie is Petyr Baelish, Littlefinger.Tywin Lannister and Roose Bolton are also good candidates...
ok with the show wouldn't it be little finger. didn't he start the war that is currently happening between all the houses. he is a mastermind controlling everything. with the tell tale game however its the boltons and the whitehills.
George R.R Martin
The game - Whitehills, obviously.
TV series - [From the perspective of the Starks], Boltons and Lannisters. Whether nights king is most dangerous of them all or not, he's only the antagonist right now from the angle of the nights watch, while house bolton also now threatens them.
Come on guys it's obvious
The biggest threat is Varys. And Littlefinger is Azor Azhai
Common sense guys, duh
Misunderstandings, lack of important information, and misconceptions.
The people and their ambitions (or their allies ambitions) seem to be their own worst enemies, over and over again. Jumping to conclusions about how they percieve an event that may or may not have happened at all. An unwillingness to believe the truth even if it's shoved in their faces....
Failing to look at the past, present, and possible futures to find the bigger picture.
Azor Ahai came before, so it can offer the world something. I also doubt that schizos exist in this world. Everything everyone sees matters in one way or another. Is Dany a disturbed schizo for having visions in the house of the undying?
Ramsay without question because he has no motive in his deeds i know he thinks he wants to be warden of the north but lets be honest he has no reason to want to be for the longest time he wanted to impress his father but he just killed him and his little brother! the nights king actually has a motive he believes in something Ramsay is just crazy
He killed his father and baby brother because he was paranoid about losing his status. I'd say his actions overall are driven by reaching for the highest possible status AND simply enjoying violence and brutality.
I don't know about that he did everything he did to impress his father and not be a bastard anymore and now he decides to kill them both just out of paranoia it doesn't add up like I say he thinks he wants to have a status but Ramsay is the kind of person who does things just for fun not for purpose to be a lord or king its for a purpose not for spite or fun
He doesn't do everything just for fun. If you look at the scenes where he kills Roose, Walda and the baby, there is no enjoyment in his face - the way there is in this newest episode where he killed Osha for example. If he cared about nothing but having some fun time torturing people there would have been no reason for him to kill Roose. He is a psychopath, but he also has an ego and hunger for power - Roose getting a legitimate heir was a huge blow to both of those things.
The only human characters who are completely unrelatable and without any redeeming qualities are Boltons, but they are not involved at in half the plotlines, so they only make for antagonists if you consider Starks protagonists.
