the sam chapters in storm of swords are some of the best stuff he's written, the retreat from the fist, sam being carried, accidentally killing an other, the gilly stuff with the wights and cold hands, its brilliant, oh and yea sam is definitely his self insert, like gurm imagining himself if he was actually in a war, still its honest, sam stumbles from one situation to the next barely surviving because other people fight for him.

its not about the throne its about diposing aegon the mad and rescuing lyanna, in fact at the end it was discussed if ned or robert should take the throne, bobby b was happy for ned to take it but he refused he just wanted to go back home, so in consultation with jon arryn it was decided bobby would take it.

Despite the name it is really Jon Arryn's rebellion. Arryn was the one who had the option of either executing Ned and Robert or rebelling. From Arryn's perspective you have Aerys having killed his nephew and heir, killed the heir to the North, killed the Lord of the North, all the other things Aerys had done, plus now demanding that Jon execute his guests and surrogate sons.

entirely justified. even if you dont include the massive point that he had just gotten his future wife and best friends sister kidnapped and (likely) raped by a Targ prince, Aerys himself had gone completely mad and had just burned his best friends Father alive while killing his brother. theres only 2 things that you can fault robert for really: letting himself become king when he knew from the start people like ned, arryn or even stannis would be a better fit (but even there its not entirely his fault since he was the only logical choice to become king other than the direct targ bloodline based on lineage) and letting the Lannisters worm their way into power

Bookfags, how large-scale were the wars pre-Targaryens? Did they have big massive wars on the scale of the Dance or was it largely a bunch of mini border wars that were regional? Is it a case that unification of Westeros has just resulted in conflicts going from regional to inherently continental or were wars always dragging in all the regions? Am I to believe the Fossoway or this shitposter that is probably a Targaryen shill?

The only person other than Viserys that did not think the rebellion was justified is a guy that wanted to choke on Rhaegar's cock.
If Aerys had pulled half the shit he did in any other era that didn't suffer from early series writing he would have been quietly poisoned by his small council before even getting to burn lords alive in the throne room.

It would have been all perfectly fine if he had a better small council without greedy scheming rats like Pycelle, Varys, Renly and LF.
The first two should have been removed on account of potentially being Targ loyalists, Renly was useless at everything that doesn't involve partying or sucking cocks and Jon Arryn should have noticed that the money started to run out as soon as he gave a job to his wife's bf.

In the books his rebellion was entirely justified, Aerys sentenced him and Ned to death without a trial and for committing no crimes. The show makes it all about him declaring a war for Lyanna because it's a shallow medium with shallow creators and a shallow audience
>>
>>217756270
I don't think Robert really wanted the Iron Throne, but someone had to take over after displacing the Targaryens and if you follow the male heirs in the line of succession then Robert really is next up after Rhaegar (dead), Aegon (dead) and Viserys (exiled), since his grandmother was Rhaelle Targaryen and his great-grandfather was Aegon V.
In terms of continuity of government and minimum disruption after a civil war, Robert's claim makes the most sense then since Ned has no Targaryen connection, comes from the distant north and practices a different religion, while Jon Arryn was an old man who at that point had no living heirs.

I don't think Westeros ever had a Romanesque system of the ruler adopting an adult and naming them heir. It would probably open a big political can of worms with the Vale lords who don't want to be subsumed into the North.

Better yet... split up the kingdoms with each liege lord as a new king. An united Westeros accomplished nothing except better roads and giving a power trip to a bunch of sisterfuckers with overpowered pets.
Crownlands now become part of the Stormlands.
Nuke the ironniggers before splitting up since they are the most likely to fuck up things for everybody in the future.

I have not rewatched S1, and I did not get through all of S2, but even at the time of S1, for all I did enjoy it, I felt a lot of it came of the fun of GOT being back. It was a pleasant surprise that it was as good as it was considering what happened to GOT, but a lot of the issues that I saw in S2 were things people were pointing out even if S1 - just even more apparent or worse. Just even trying to recommend S1 as its own thing I am not convinced is a good idea given that so much of the enjoyment people had very much comes from the mood and discussion that was around it at the time, and by this point that is over.

They were justified because Aerys was out of control. Brandon threatening Rhaegar didn't justify killing him and his father by fire. He was allowed a trial and settle the issue by calling Rhaegar to court. Aerys was abusing his own power and every other lord was justified as well to believe they were in danger.
With that being said, Arryn was ambitious man who wanted to put Robert in power to control the crown. Lyanna was just the excuse. Nothing happened until Brandon and Rickard were killed.

Nah, Lannisters were always rich, yes, but Tywin made them even more filthy fucking rich with all his shrewd schemes.
Comparatively speaking, before Tywin they were probably like worth 10mil IRL dollars, after Tywin they're now worth 100bil+ etc.
So being Lord Commander of the Kingsguard could actually make you richer than the Lannisters back during Dunk's time.

The books state that posing a bastard child born out of wedlock as your legitimate heir is considered high treason which would mean that Rhaenyra would be stripped of her titles for lying to the crown, so no. Greens are actually not objectively wrong. The situation is actually more complicated than the show wants you to believe.

Based on what Robert was told, that Aerys wanted his head, yes.
Except it's my contention that Jon Arryn lied to Robert about his cousin the king wanting his death.
We're told that Aerys sent a letter demanding both the heads of Eddard and Robert but the only people to actually _see_ this letter, were Jon Arryn and his maester. Jon Arryn was never going to send Eddard to his death and that meant launching a rebellion but this also meant the only troops available to him would be Northmen (a long way off) and Valemen (many of whom were opposed to the rebellion).
By lying that Aerys wanted Robert's head, Jon Arryn could bring in the Stormlanders to his side and hopefully get other noble houses to join the rebellion because if the "Mad King" was so crazy he'd execute his own cousin for literally doing nothing, then every noble in Westeros was in danger.

I think Aegon was probably just a dumb meathead jock. I reckon he didn't even want the throne. He was probably mad about being treated a bastard but I don't think he wanted a rebellion. It was the group of betas around him who pushed for a rebellion. Fireball and Bittersteel and all the cuck houses. They were all attracted to Alpha Aegon and tried to get him to come in and save them and the absolute madlad would've succeeded if it wasn't for Bloodraven using aimbot. Remember, you are the company you keep. If you hang out with losers, they will drag you down with them

There is no reason for Jon to lie to Robert. Robert is going to be angry about Lyanna. Robert sees Ned as a brother. Even if Robert's execution was not called, Robert's connection to the Starks and his personality will see him rebel anyway. Whether that is justified by Robert or not does not negate that he will even if Aerys did not call for his death. Also, I know the Graftons were royalists, but are there any other named (so actually important) Vale houses besides them that we know of?

>Robert is going to be angry about Lyanna.
It's a feudal society, just because Robert is angry (about a betrothal, he hadn't married Lyanna yet) doesn't mean his bannermen are willing to rebel and die for him.
Jon Arryn couldn't get his all his own bannermen to join him and had to defeat those who resisted and even with the claim that Aerys wanted him dead, many Stormlanders still opposed a rebellion.
And while Aerys may have been crazy, he could read a map as well as anybody else and see that the Crownlands were right nextdoor to the Stormlands and the Vale. Bizarrely calling for Robert's head out of the blue means putting himself in danger and strengthening the rebels.
It makes no sense for Aerys to demand Robert's death but it makes perfect sense for Jon Arryn to lie about.

I thought the commonplace headcanon is that Rhaegar was planning to usurp Aerys which explains all the inter-kingdom marriages, and this same alliance system changed their goals to toppling the Targaryens after Rhaegar kidnapped Lyanna?

Dunk is a challenger which means he chooses his opponent. He wouldn't naturally choose basically the best knight to face off against, since he'd want a chance to win. So they need him in on it to choose that knight so they can rig it

>>217758218
when a challenger enters the list he can challenge one of the five champions "defending" the queen (the birthday girl daughter of lord ashford)
Plummer wants dunk(nobody hedge knight) to challenge Andro Ashford(son of the local lord and local favorite)
the betting odds for Dunk winning are going to be absurd, but if Dunk does it, Andro will throw the match and Ashford can recoup their losses
if Dunk wanted to win a proper joust 1, he can't because he sucks at jousting. 2, he would challenge prince vallar because everyone knows vallar actually sucks but no ones challenging him because hes blood of the dragon

For some reason the show didn't explain the rules of the Tourney / the Challenger system, despite having like 2 scenes that require you to know about it to fully understand the context
They should have had Plummer explain it in a sentence or something, "And who does a lowly hedge knight like you intend to challenge, given your potential competition?" or some shit idk

There is a whole range of "crazy". Someone can be totally batshit crazy and literally incapable of carrying on a regular life and there's crazy enough to do something like killing Rickard and Brandon Stark for a (somewhat) valid threat to the crown prince, while still understanding there's not only no reason to kill Robert but calling for his head only weakens your position.

Raymun asks him who hes going to challenge in the first episode. They also show Aerion challenge someone.
It only doesn't make sense to people who expect tourney brackets like in their favorite nigball games. There also isn't a lot of runtime and the tourney format doesn't actually matter at all.

in my world they increase the runtime with more details like this
Also you can't expect normies to extrapolate that much. We're in the era where Netflix asks writers to repeat the plot every 5 minutes for users and they aren't wrong. Not that I want the show to go that direction, but they definitely could have given a bit more

They have physics defying nonmagical ballista.
They can mass produce what are effectively 30mm anti air canons masquerading as oversized crossbows.
It makes dragons useless against them.
So why is it difficult to conquer them? Bullshit.

I'd rather have more scenes like them making breakfast than someone explaining in greater detail how the tourney works when it doesn't matter to the story and is basically done with by this point anyways.
The scene with Plummer is there to show Dunk's integrity but I can see how normies got confused thinking its the start of some subplot that makes the tournament important.

Lyanna being taken was how a political uprising was turned into a song for people like Sansa siding with the rebels despite the rebels were justified.
Brandon was betrothed to Cat and still sleeping with a lady who was convinced he would marry her. Rhaegar was doing exactly what Brandon did himself and his lord was equally justified to ask Rickard for any reparation. Brandon mistake was yelling at Rhaegar and threatened a crazy fucktard. If he had not done this, Aerys wouldn't feel the need to ask for Robert and Ned to die.

I think about this a great deal. What did George mean by cramming every meme about spicy hispanics he could think of into Dorne? Bro lives in new Mexico.
Are there really people who drink sour wine with spicy food?
Many thoughts.

Do Brits actually understand what they're saying in Dunk or are their accents really just THAT strong? Or am I being a dumb yank here?
I personally can only catch 70% of the dialogue when I turn the subtitles off, it's so disorienting lol. Can Brits ITT confirm?

>History is often written by men who write off women as crazy or hysterical or evil and conniving or gold-digging or sexpots. Like in the book, it says Rhaenyra had kids and got fat. Well, who wrote that? We were able to step back and go: The history tellers want to believe Alicent is an evil conniving bitch. But is that true? Who exactly is saying that?

OK I'm retarded. Explain this bet rigging thing? Dunc is trying to win the tourney, but I forget the rules of the tourney (I read the novella a while ago). Also I don't bet so don't understand these things.

minor border skirmishes every few decades. Never continent wide wars, the Dance killed like 1/3rd or more of the Westerosi population between the direct war deaths, famine, disease, and the fact that the Targs started it right before winter

There are 5 champions who defend the queen of love and whatever.
Intitially they are family members and friends of House Ashford.
Any participant can challenge one of the five. If he wins he takes his place as champion and has to accept challenges until he loses and gets replaced.
The rigging was that Dunk challenges the younger Ashford and wins. The Ashfords would bet on Dunk and make a bunch of money because nobody would expect Dunk to win.
Dunk then is at least one horse richer and can win more defeating challengers.

>Knights choose which of the champions they challenge
>Lord Ashford's son is a champion
>Dunk challenges him
>He is underdog and also not local favourite
>everyone bets on Ashford boy to win because he's better and also the local favourite
>he throws the joust
>Daddy makes lots of money by betting on Dunk the underdog to recoup some of the overspending he's done on the tourney
It wasn't in the source material: there's a betting/joust-rigging subplot in the third novella but not in the first one.

Probably more brutal during the heptarchy than the age of the hundred kingdoms owing the the sheer scale of resources the seven kingdoms were able to mobilize. But then the age of a hundred kingdoms survives largely in the form of lists of houses that had their male lines put to the sword and their daughters raped.

My long term goal has been to spread anti targ propaganda until normies hate them so that I can like them again. Chuds should be Valyrian supremacist and normies should be anti targ but somewhere along the way things got all mixed up. The mutts are culturally appropriating my Aryan superiority

Ironborn hadn't controlled Bear Island since Theon Stark beat their ass thousands of years ago. The Hoares were already facing an uprising from the River lords, any of the surrounding kingdoms would have helped to throw them at some point anyway if the Targs didn't show up

Your argument for the period preceding the conquest being peaceful is that it was teeming with conflict and on the precipice of a continental war?
Well put.
