top five worst father

5- Bill Adama (Battlestar Galactica) that "do not mistake this for approval" icon is brilliantly accurate. Nothing is ever good enough for Adama, and everything is always about how he feels.

4- Gendo Ikari (Evangelion) They've named the fictional award to bad father for him for a reason.

3- Ozai (Avatar the Last Airbender) to Azula as much as to Zuko

2- Tywin Lannister (A Song of Ice and Fire) for Tyrion and for Cersei especially, though I liked how the TV show high lightened to wasn't exactly perfect with Jaime either.

1- Gerald Tarrant (Coldfire trilogy) the most horrible thing is, he was probably a good father, until he, you know, murdered his children.

Tywin disowns Jaime in SoS? I'd forgotten that. But you're right, he's also a dickwag to him, generally speaking. A really awful father.

The only reason I can tolerate him more than I can tolerate Joffrey is that Tywin, for all that he's a horrible human being, can actually run a country.)
I blame Joff less, because he's a child. Tywin is able to run a country, pretty good at it even, which is tragic in a way - but he's also very able to ruin a country, as he did, very deliberately, with the Riverlands. He choses his monsters very purposefully for that aim.
OtoH he's a much, much more interesting character than Joffrey - Joff is very flat and boring, really.

STANNIS, YOU DO NOT DESERVE DAVOS. >:(((((((((((
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA so true! I love Davos! Why work for that asshole Davos? ;_;
