The show really wanted me to see him as weak, stupid and pathetic, but they failed.

Everyone was laughing at him for missing the arrow, and I feel like that scene permanently cemented the idea in people's minds that he's an incompetent fool. But honestly, who gives a shit if he's terrible at archery or not particularly good at fighting? Being a good warrior doesn't automatically makes you a good lord or king. Robert Baratheon is a pretty good example of that.

Edmure actively participated in the war, won battles (and got insulted for it), and was loyal to his family. He supported and fought in Robb's war and almost died because of it. He was imprisoned for years, yet never broke, and eventually managed to return as Lord of Riverrun.

One thing that particularly bothers me is how Robb treated him after he won a battle. Edmure did what any responsible lord should have done.... defended his lands and protected his people by driving the Lannister forces out.…
