Jaime can’t be beaten by a little winch, he could beat her with that left hand tied behind his back.

This is all about fan base fervor. GRRM’s got it and we’ll vote Jaime through no matter what.

This is all meaningless drivel as far as I’m concerned. 2nd Round Vs Cthulhu. Nuff Said.

hey, hey
don´t you know the things that Jaime would do for love? We all have already seen it!!!
COME ON! Hope Hermione have a wolf or another animal that cries for her (and her fall) at the end of the chapter. Jaime doesn´t need a sword, what the hell: He just needs a balcony, and just one hand.

Just curious, since I read through many posts and didn’t see it listed.
It is typically accepted in the fantasy industry that exceedingly powerful knights and warriors develop a resistance to magic and cantrips over time. Being that Jaime is one of, if not the, most skilled and experienced swordsman in his cannon, I think that he would be able to block out all of Hermione’s lesser enchantments, and some to most of her more powerful ones.
Keep in mind that in fantasy, knights and warriors outside the realm of spells are still powerful, prevalent, and capable of killing their magical counterparts. If a fight between a caster and a melee character were always as simple as, “The caster makes the warrior die”, there would never be any question about such a fight.
I would think that Jaime would be a match for nearly any human foe in this entire bracket. Unfortunately he’s going to face a gigantic monster in his next battle. Even with his good arm grown back, I don’t like his odds. But then again, he’s a realistic character, which is what makes him so much more entertaining and thought-provoking to read about in a novel.

I appreciate that were all huge nerds here and debating on that actual feasibility of spell versus sword and god versus wizard so on and so forth… Remember at the end of the day this is FANTASY which means anything is possible. Vote the way you want the fight to go… otherwise the entire bracket is a sham because as well know it’s going to be shrike vs cthulu or shrike versus Aslan… Where is the fun in that??? I say Jaime Lannister the “Godslayer”… down with Cthulu!!!
I’m already thinking about the next match hahahaha

“You’ll want your child, I expect. I’ll send him to you when he’s born. With a trebuchet.”
I think he will, even if he wonders whether he should have later. But that’s just me.

Hermione doesn`t stand a chance, really. Jaime`s aura of pure awesome will be too much for her to handle and she`ll just explode.
It`s Jaime friggin` Lannister. His magnificence is just too overwhelming for someone who is not from Westeross.
