With hindsight, killing off Ned and Robert was barely excusable, but the Red Wedding was stupid; certainly the thing that really sent the story flying off the rails more than anything else. Brilliant, shocking, but story-ruining. In a sense, the tale ended there. It was the moment where George completely betrayed his original intent to create a fascinating drama like the Wars of the Roses.

I skipped hotd because the first few episodes made it clear it was pozzed gay shit.

A knight of the seven kingdom looked surprisingly normal to I gave it a shot and was pleasantly surprised except for the gay portrayal of lyonel and a couple of mandatory background nigs

>>219736144
The freys are a relatively new house and they weren't always assholes. Plus having a heavily fortified bridge is good since it prevents enemies from crossing over and no one has enough money to construct another one

I'm sure your ancestors gibbered something to that effect when the white devils came to Kalkoot.
Every white person on the other hand will be able to empathize with post-doom valyrians, existing as they do in the ruins of their once great civilization surrounded by a vast sea of subhuman slaves who bray for their blood.
Sometimes I think that Grrm had a copy of the camp of saints besides him when wrote the Volantis chapters and plagiarized liberally from it.

Arlan in the show was a man of few words, and having him talk in the flashbacks would make for clunky exposition, especially since Dunk was already narrating. Instead they showed him doing stuff like giving a bit of money to the poor and Dunk taking note of that. Dunk also mentioned Arlan's teachings like "the Hedge Knight is the bridge between the Lords and the smallfolk" and how Arlan got it from Lord Tyrell. That doesn't seem to be something Dunk made up since he was trying to remind Tyrell who Arlan was using Tyrell's own words.

So Arlan DID teach Dunk how to be a Knight. The flashbacks just showed him as a flawed individual and how sometimes we see the people we loved through rose-tinted glasses.

So, uh, why did Barristan bend the knee to Robert while there were still living Targaryens (and therefore Viserys was his king)? why do people still treat him with respect when he's in more or less the same position as Jaime?

>>219737114
Some people keep sprouting this nonsense about how the aftermath of the RW is all about how Ned still holds the love and loyalty of the Norf by being a good lord while KL and the Lannisters are falling apart because of how cruel Tywin was but god, the Norf being pissed about the Boltons and the Freys committing the worst sin in all the story outside of anything Gregor does is a completely natural reaction to their cartoon villainy. And it doesn't change anything about how all the plot contrivances to make the RW happen just makes it seem that some major lords just weren't that loyal to Ned while nobody in the Westerlands dared to cross Tywin despite his war crimes or the completely fucked over situation he was in after Ned's death because he drowned some niggers 20 years before.

>why did Barristan bend the knee to Robert while there were still living Targaryens (and therefore Viserys was his king)?
Aerys (and Rhaegar after the Lyanna kidnapping) were extremely unpopular and considered good riddance to the point that no one besides the seething Martells (who would have probably bent the knee more gladly if Jon Arryn had actually punished Tywin for the nonsense he pulled) actually wanted the Targs back.
And no matter what bullshit he pulls in his POV thoughts about his pro-Targ loyalty, he was more than happy to serve Bobby, and even Joffrey afterwards, until he got kicked out just so Jaime could be the Lord Commander.

>when he's in more or less the same position as Jaime?
Because Jaime pulled the equivalent of stabbing Rhaegar in the back when the battle of the Trident was all but lost.

Wouldn't it be more like the equivalent of stabbing Rhaegar before he could set off the secret nuke he had hidden up his ass in case he lost the battle?

>>219753670
I was talking more about the perception that everybody had of the events that happened, hence why people give Jaime shit but not to Barristan after he bent the knee to Bobby.

>>219753922
Barristan was popular before the war, got wounded in the fighting for Aerys and knelt basically at the same time half the realm did.
Jaime is perceived as killing Aerys at the last minute just to help his father take King’s Landing (which was subsequently sacked). So whereas Barristan is percieved as taking service with Robert when Aerys was already dead, it looks more like Jaime just chose his father and team Lannister over his vows (and not even until winning was a sure thing).
Barristan himself is a total joke but I don’t think George intended him to be read that way

>>219754065
>>219753670
Why didn't Jaime just kill the pyromancers and lock Aerys in his chambers? It's not like Aerys could nuke KL on his own.

>>219754189
nta, yeah he does kill the pyromancers after killing Aerys.
George wrote Jaime to be a kingslayer hated by everyone that didn't have the guts to shit on Tywin though and he also needed to write Aerys out of the story in some way so he took the easy way out.

>>219750334
>Rhaegar after the Lyanna kidnapping) were extremely unpopular and considered good riddance

>>219760474
Because he's dead and people he had biggest impact on (Robert and Ned) die rather quickly in the series.
His job was also pretty thankless and he was also ugly, so it's not surprising people don't think that much of him at all.

George only cares about the "juicy bits" (everything he likes is food to him) of history so being an adept administrator is not something he's going to waste much of ink on. He wants to get straight to the action; unless it's Essos of course, he loves to waste time there.

>>219762435
I feel like Aegon and the conquest is one of those parts of the story that can only be made lamer and gayer by actually getting to see it. It's just better left a bit ambiguous.

>>219762435
>half the show is Aegon being depressed about Rhaenys cucking him and then getting herself killed by the dornish

>>219762922
Gurm's story is genuinely quite deep, each book is overflowing with scores of mysteries great and small, many of which aren't meant to be solved. Whichever heeb directs the movie is going to deeply despise that subtlety and will write retarded fanfic to obliterate it, without a doubt annihilating all ambiguity on Rhaenys' fate and Aegon's letter.

>>219762963
From getting penetrated by the Dornish to getting penetrated by the Dornish.
The more things change the more they stay the same.

>>219762997
So far the westeros shows have basically been to the exact same degree that they stay faithful to the source material, and Aegon's conquest literally doesn't have a book to lay it out other than a basic outline

>>219762435
How the fuck is a story that is literally "three reusable thermonuclear warheads vs. coughing medieval peasants" by design going to be any fun

>>219759671
That's their cope over the identity complex of their House. The Storm King and his sons were killed during Aegon's Conquest, so Aegon's bastard brother, Dipshit Baratheon, took Storm's End, the Storm King's daughter, and the Storm King's coat of arms, words, etc. and pretended like the Baratheons were there the whole time. They're a House of cuckolds both literally and spiritually.

Frankly I think Jon could've positioned himself as the leader of the rebels and proclaimed his intention to take the Iron Throne (let's be real no one gave a shit whether Robert had Targ blood or not) if he had healthy sons and grandsons to succeed him. No one really wanted to help a childless old man overthrow a near three century old dynasty.

i find old valyria fascinating. The idea that everything was just generally so much more elevated that the Targs, in spite of being the most powerful house in Westeros, were no more than a middle class family like the Mormonts there, sets such an interesting stage for what it must have been like. I wonder if they had space travel and shit. Maybe there's still some of them on the moon, watching the realm.

>>219762435
replies to this post prove how /tv/ is creatively retarded and can't even imagine a story that can be told

>>219762435
I would rather see one about Roberts Rebellion or other stories not about the Targs personally.

It's funny how some women loved and identified with Cersei in the show because she is quite possibly, without hyperbole, the most anti-feminist character ever made. If George were a conservative, she would come off as a far too over-the-top satire of feral female behavior. Reading her chapters is actually a bit scary because George does such a good job of giving a glimpse into the headspace of a BPDemon, I can't imagine how miserable they must be.

>Once there were two moons in the sky, but one wandered too close to the sun and cracked from the heat. A thousand thousand dragons poured forth, and drank the fire of the sun.

1. GRRM borrows from Medieval England, so to ensure a smooth production it's better to hire British actors, as they are most familiar with acting for Medieval and Early Modern England.
2. The adaptations are filmed on-location throughout the UK and Commonwealth countries, it's easier to hire British actors for this.
3. British actors are not in Hollywood unions, much cheaper to hire because the actors actually have brain cells to bargain for their own pay (guild actors you pay the guild more than you pay the actor).

>>219746539
He still is in the top 5 because he peacefully got Dorne into the unified kingdoms. His hippie-dippy religiousity was wholly peaceful and fully smoothed out any friction between the Faith and the Targaryens, which guarantees the Faith won't rise up against Targaryens anymore. That puts him in the top 3, arguably competing with the actual Conquerer himself, and Jaehaerys I who had the longest reign with 0 wars.

Also never forget, Baelor walked over 2400 miles barefoot to make peace with Dorne. By the time he got to Sunspear, the prince already had been told by numerous lords and knights, who can sail, ride, and send ravens, that this king is the real deal and walked the whole way barefoot. There was no doubt that Baelor walked the walk. Baelor was such a madlad he walks back the way he came, which is another 1200+ miles before he takes a venom-induced nap and has to be carried the rest of his way by his cousin. We have backpackers today who struggle to walk 100 miles barefoot. This so-called hippy pulls it off for nearly half a year walking as a full-time job. Never say the Faith of the Seven has no miracles, because Baelor did it.

Arlen was a drunken whoremonger, kind of a shit knight, and not a particularly good father figure, but he wasn't some sort of amoral asshole. He showed real charity and kindness to Dunk. Dunk does realize that Arlen might not be a good rolemodel for knighthood, but he was still a decent man who saved his life in more than one way and imbued some ideals in him.

Arlen is a nice example of an incredibly flawed but still redeemable character.

Invincible is a huge success apparently, so I don't think one should underestimate the potential for an animated got show. There's clearly a growing market for adult animated shows

>>219769300
Invincible is also made on the dirt cheap (every new episode that releases is just full of complaints about how bad the animation is) so I don't think that's a model to emulate.

>>219769300
>I don't think one should underestimate the potential for an animated got show
it doesn't work. they tried to turn LOTR into an animation recently and it was a joke i dind't even bother watching.

just like anything that is not live action, it really suffers narratively and in terms of characterization. an animator cannot know what an actor is thinking when saying their lines so its basically like an AI generated live action at best

The first season looked alright. The animation being so shit later on is at least partly because they keep wasting budget on celebrity voice actors who don't even put on good performances.

Lena does a good job of showing Cersei's bitchyness but the show doesn't really capture her insanity at all. She's one of the best female characters I've ever read because she's so original from a POV prospective. I really can't recall such an evil woman that you read from their POV in any other book ever.

>rewatching the show with le gf
>just finished season 5

Where does this narrative that the show immediately turned the Room-tier bad after season 4 come from, again? Butthurt book purists who still delude themselves into believing that Feast and Dance WEREN'T putrid dogshit?

>>219770620
Season 5 is just aggressively mid with a few interesting plot points

>>219770620

>>219769434
Season 1 of GoT had very little action, it was mostly people standing and talking. Most of the budget went to sets, costumes, and filming on location. Book purists complained the season resolved a battle off-screen. Even with its high budget, season 1 still omitted characters to stay within the 10 hour runtime. HotD has an even bigger budget than late GoT seasons, because the dragons cost so much for already expensive battle scenes. Did you think anytime a battle is filmed, that thousands of costumed extras materialized out of thin air for the panorama shots? It takes time and money to hire, instruct, costume, cue, rehearse so many locals. It's almost like the studio has to build an actual army for army scenes. All those people don't wait around in a closet for the next season's battle, the whole operation has to be done all over again from scratch. Animation avoids all those bespoke challenges. It's the same animation team animating the huge war battle on the same schedule as animating a duel between two knights.

Hollywood today cannot reproduce the Battle of Helm's Deep. They will crutch on CGI and AI anyway, but do a worse job of it than Jackson. We got to witness Ridley Scott embarass himself with Napoleon, the opportunity for an auteur budget to depict large scale war. He failed at it. The live action you think you want is not attainable.

No just not blatantly retarded bullshit like Tyrion deciding to walk up to Cerseis front door and asking “pretty please will you surrender” after she betrayed them and cersei for some reason deciding not to kill them even though she easily could so she could have an “I’m so evil moment.” Again more episodes wouldn’t have helped, it would’ve been more crap on top of crap.
