I think what you're all missing here is that it's a TV show and what many people "love" about characters like Tywin and Cersei stems from the enjoyment that they, as an audience, get from watching these characters. Everyone loves a good villain whilst a pure do-gooder is kinda boring and predictable. Look at Ramsey Bolton. No-one can argue that he isn't right up there as one of the out and out evilest characters in the show but I'm damned if I didn't love his scenes. And that's the other factor; the actor portraying the character has a lot to do with how much love that character gets from fans of the show. Lena Headey, Charles Dance and Iwan Rheon are great actors. Emilia Clarke is not. She doesn't have the charisma that the formers bring to their roles.
