Rodrigo Blankenship: Tyrion Lannister
I picked Rodrigo Blankenship to be Tyrion Lannister because of his witty personality and intelligence.
If any two people could be more similar to its Blankenship and Lannister, to be honest, this was the most natural comparison on the list.
Lannister is the imp, Cersei, and Jaime’s little brother who killed their mother at birth something Cersei could never forgive. He had one of the most exciting stories of the series.
He’s smart, witty and can manipulate any situation. I have never seen someone talk himself out of death as much as Tyrion.
I could go on for days about Tyrion, but he ends up the hand of the queen for Daenerys Targaryen and helps her along the way.
He attempts to stay loyal to her until the end, but I won’t ruin that for anyone.
Blankenship reminds me of Tyrion with his wit and ability to have ice in his veins.
He can kick under pressure and gets better each year much like how Tyrion gets better as the seasons go on and his character evolves.
Blankenship already has his degree as well and still has another year of eligibility.
These two relate because they’re loyal to their caus and intelligence. Tyrion has to be smart because he doesn’t match up physically to the others, so he outsmarts them.
Blankenship chose to come back for his senior year and Tyrion for picking to be on Daenerys side of the war.
Then you have to remember Blankenship coming to interviews with his helmet and specs on is witty and hilarious.
*Warning violence and potential negative language.*
Tyrion had so many witty comments, and if he needs a tall replacement, they need to use Blankenship.
