If I was king boar and knew of all the intrigue and conspiracy with the Lannisters I wouldn't have summoned Ned Stark. Rob effectively sentenced him to a pointless death when he appointed him Hand.
>>215176751for me it’s how the only people that die when Winterfell is attacked by White Walkers are Theon, Jorah, Edd and Beric. Everyone on the front lines survived the literal tsunami wave of wights landing on them>one-handed Jaime>Brienne>SamRealistically no one would’ve made it out alive, except maybe Jon and Daenerys since they could ride off on the dragons.
>>215176751It's the fact that he didn't know any of the intrigue or conspiracy. Stannis knew that Robert was a cuck (and there is probably a good chance Renly knew it as well). If both of your own brothers have a better idea of what's going on in your own castle, you shouldn't be king.
why die alone when you can bring your homie down with you
>>215176840This episode makes me so fucking mad
gods i was strong
Reminder: the show ending was George’s ending
A TARGARYEN BOAR AT THE HEAD OF A DOTHRAKI WHORE
>>215177386Thanks doc
The Starks were the best house, at least in the first season, and yet they all got murdered first. Sucks.

twinks..
>>215177426who would win, prime Robert or Darkstar?
>>215178098Prime Robert
>>215176751Im currently listening to chapter 71 of A dance with the dragon. Its so unfair what George is doing to us bros. The book is about to end and 15 years later theres no winds of winter on the horrizon.
>>215178213May he die in pain and burn in hell
>>215177367If you still watched it at that point you have noone to blame but yourself.
>>215176751I compelled myself to do a rewatch of this and it's so fucking kino, then it drops off hard from the end of S5 and now I'm hate watching it all.
>>215177367it probably would've made me mad too, if I could fucking see anything
>>215178098i don't think a single combatant can be prime Bobby B in a fair duel.6'6, near strong as the Mountain but far faster all while in plate with a hammer made for killing men in armor, great endurance and skillSelmy would do well in his prime, versatile fighter but i think Robert egdes out based on sheer build. Maelys was like Robert true but less skilled and literally retardedDayne is far more skilled but he is primarily just gifted with swords, specifically Dawn which would do damage but GRRM has said Dawn and Valyrian steel doesn't operate like lightsabers and Armor would still block most of if any fatal damage and piercing.Daemon Blackfyre would also lose same as Dayne would, Blackfyre is a good sword but Bobby B is covered in plate. I can see Daemon B out enduring Bobby B since he Daemon fought one of the best fighters in a duel for like 40 minutes but Bobby B fought like three battles in one day so i dunno.Jaime is tricky but i'm gonna say noKhal Drogo is a jokeSandoq has a good fucking chance, maybe the hgihestEuron no, unless he uses some magic bullshitVicatrion possible but noBloodraven maybe if he cheatsOberyn would have to tire him out and poison him but Robert is a smart and furious fighter and will know this is Oberyn's strategy, also Robert is fast and not even just for his size and build so no Oberyn dies.Hound has a decent shotBrienne noRhaegar, memes aside i think Rhaegar may have done decent against Robert but again, sword kind of sucks against plateDemon of the Trident is just too OP, only alcholism, depression and oneitus could defeat him
>>215178098>>215178384oh i forgot my main point to all this.if none of those people have a good shot, why the fuck would you ask if Darkstar has a chance
>>215178228all seven of them
>>215178399darkstar is beyond the skill of most people, don't forget he got a shot in so quick the guards couldn't catch him, especially at night (which he is of)
>>215178530darkstar loses to half the people on the autists list
>>215178384>Khal Drogo is a joke?
>>215178399Only Based Bobby B could bless these digits. Gurm really fucked up killing off all the cool characters or forcing them to orbit Daenarys. No wonder fatboy keeps procrastinating by making random shit in the past.>why the fuck would you ask if Darkstar has a chanceCause he is Darkstar Bro.He's OF THE NIGHT.
>>215178617>He's OF THE NIGHTwhat does that even mean
do we approve on show Aerion?
When’s the next book coming out? It’s been like a decade

Promise me, Ned...
>>215178803He works. People are going to simp for him like crazy. Wish we saw Daeron in the trailer though.

>>215179357SHANSHA PLEASE
>>215178098Whoever George wants to win.
the dothraki could've easily cauterized the wound and drogo would've been alive
>>215176840>hits pipe>take our siege engines outside so they can capture and use them against out fort
>>215178834armor is important but thats implying this is a "first encounter" scenario where no dothraki knows what armor is and Drogo gets arrogant when we know him to be wise
>>215180789>we know him to be wise >rubs shit and mud into his wound >dies
Deftones - Minerva is in the show?

>>215176751The fact the only person he trusted lived in the other side of the country says it all
>>215178384>near strong as the MountainNot even close.
>>215180863would've worked if not for the death witch who he wouldve killed if not for Dany. The whole dothraki lifestyle is dedicated to going to more "advanced" civilizations, conquering them and bringing in majestic depictions of those conquered civilizations' gods into their capital as if it was a trophy rack. And Drogo was known as the best among the dothraki
>>215182184Pretty close
The Lannisters in S1 are pure fucking evil.>murder their own Hand>attempt murder of a 10 year old kid>send an assassin when that didn't work>unnecessarily entrap Ned so neither him nor his family can leave when they just banish them>send Tyrion off to die on the front in the meantime>coerce Ned to make a false confession>execute Ned>cut out a singer's tongue for sport and Cercei doesn't even lift a finger>force Sansa to stare at her father's head on a spikeburn them again Dany
>>215183743
>>215178098Bobby would shit on that emo

>>215176751This thread is just a YouTuber by the name of our hilts hurt trying to get content, do not feed them any interesting ideas. They are super racist and bigoted
>>215185657>They are super racist and bigotedZased. Subscribed
>>215185657I don't know who that is, I'm rewatching GoT so I made a thread and some postings. The only YT video I posted is a Brienne and Jamie interview compilation that's very fun.
>>215185704Ok sorry Can we ERP now?
>>215185731take a cold shower
>>215183720>murder their own HandThat was Littlefinger and Lysa Arryn THOUGH
>>215178384if sheer size was all that mattered then oberyn wouldn't have even killed the mountain. dayne and selmy could take bobby for certain, the rest is questionable but they have more chance than you'd like to think.
>>215177386TYRION NO!
>hire ian mcshane as the character who has one of the best monologues in the books>don't even put the monologue in the show>later on the hound just decides to de le epic cleganebowl anyway, completely invalidating that whole arcbravo d&d you fucking braindead cocksuckers
>>215183720To add to that, the listed actions of the Lannister's led to war with multiple battles and thousands dead.
>>215186297What's the best GoT audiobook?
>>215186345there's one for the main series read by an old man who does a good job. but i tend to get tired listening to him. the actor who plays viserys does dunk and egg, those are nice.
>I'm not questioning your honor, Ser Janos, I'm denying it's existence
>Luke is supposed to be the heir to Driftmark>despite being an obvious bastard>he maims his own uncle in the castle he's meant to inherit in the future>while Aemond is presumably under Guest Right too>gets away with itI don't understand it, it wouldn't have just been Vaemond mad about this bastard usurping their family holding, any vassals of Corlys should also have been up in arms over their future lord maiming his own kin and breaking guest right.
>>215179181>Yeah, you just outed yourselfI didn't know there were people who actually talked like this.
>>215178834the dothraki in general are a joke, they are a straight downgrade from real life steppe armies.No armor and they use swords way to often for an army that is clearly supposed to be horse archers and I don't remember them having any lancers.
>>215186744The only reason the Dothraki have gotten away with their shit for so long is they only deal with Essosi cities which just use barely armored slave soldiers or sellswords.Like sure, against Westeros they'd probably demolish the peasant foot soldiers and shit, but be crushed by heavy cavalry, not to mention would fail at sieging a castle.
>>215186831yeah it doesn't even make sense for the free cities to tolerate them either. i honestly put it down to yet another thing in the first book that george just has to stick with as it makes less and less sense. for the price that they pay the dothraki to fuck off, they could just get sellswords to pound them into dust instead.
>>215180701Drogo would be alive if the witch didn't kill him.
>>215176840This battle was so profoundly stupid I have to believe they were deliberately sabotaging the show.>having your siege equipment IN FRONT of the infantry rather than behind the safety of the walls>wasting your light cavalry on a head-first charge instead of making use of their mobility for flanking attacks>all of the infantry standing out in the open rather than manning the walls>two of your strongest units (the dragons) sitting out most of the battle waiting for the enemy commander to appear. they could have burned half of the army before the night king appeared
Why come Edward didn't tell Bobby about Jon? Doesn't Bran being a greenseer who can warg humans while greendreaming imply that humanity, or rather all life, is a singular hivemind?Downton Abbey is better than this shite.
>>215186908the witch didn't kill him, i swear this argument occurs in every /got/ thread
/got/ generals were kino
>>215187053>/got/ generals were strong then
>>215180701I think i might be misremembers but didn't this dumb retard smear mud on his wound?
why didn't they just kill walter frey? everybody talks shit about him and he never does anything, he's just a troll collecting his toll, just build another bridge lmao what the fuck am i watching
>>215187053fucking confirmed
>>215187044Well it's ambiguous, on account of the whole demon necromancy thing she was doing.
>>215183720yes and in the remaining seasons too. even reformed jaime isn't that great really. he's still trying to further a completely retarded and doomed cause. i mean even kevan is also the same. imagine if kevan just had tywin murdered, the lannisters could have gone on without being despised by every cunt on the fucking planet.
Beric > Stoneheart
>>215187053I really regret staring GoT and later reading the books only after the series ended. The /HotD/ threads were pretty fun to lurk in but I can't imagine how good the /GoT/ threads were
>>215187116the brotherhood was actually so based. god forbid a group of weird guys have fun in the woods, of course some bitch had to come along and ruin it.
Cleganebowl happens but it's a brainless zombie and a brainwashed cultist and neither of them cares about technically being brothers.
>>215187109if it were ambiguous dany wouldn't have smothered him
>>215187132Drogo was dead well before the smothering (because the witch killed him).
>>215178036>https://dlive.tv/bajindo24/7 GoT Loop
>The pain was bad, the smell was worse... but the worst part about it was that it was my brother who did it, and my father who defended him
>>215187116God I hate how Stoneheart turned the brotherhood into her own personal army. The only guys fighting for the smallfolk only to get corrupted by some undead bitch and become another pawn in the game
>>215187141
>>215176751I watched GoT when it premiered because I'm a Sean Bean fan. I immediately fell in love with Emilia Clarke, so I watched every episode and became a huge GoT fan. I remember coming to 4chan to bitch and whine immediately after the episode in which Ned Stark was beheaded. How could they kill off a major character in the first season? Why would they do such a thing to his fans? Well, someone on 4chan replied, and I'll summarize, "Piece of advice, don't grow too attached to any characters". Sensing the dread in his warning made me an even bigger fan of this crazy show. Sopranos and GoT are my alltime favorite tv shows and nothing comes even close. And I am still in love with Emilia.
>>215187206its really like being on facebook reading this shit
>>215187224its really like being in a retard factory reading yours
>>215187206>I immediately fell in love with Emilia Clarkewe all did
Dany wasn't even the hottest girl in the Dany storyline.

>tfw you're not a knight>tfw no innocents to protect from bad guys>tfw no meaningful cause to fight and die for
>>215187275you think so?
>>215187296As cool as being a Knight would be I'd rather not live in a medieval shithole
>>215187296There's like a hundred wars going on at the moment, just take your pick.
>>215187296Imagine how much time it takes to put all that on.
>>215187296What's #15?
>>215187336NTA but I'm too used to her having blond hair and being dressed in "medieval" clothes so seeing her in anything else seem uncanny for me
>>215187405That's what squires were for.
>>215187434Still it'd take a while.
>>215187453Yeah.
>I've known you a long time, Dondarrion. You're not bad. Don't hate you. Don't like you, but you're not bad...>Thank you, Clegane, that warms the heart.>...but there's nothing special about you.

>>215178384This is the gayest thing I've ever read. It reads like some twink's erotic fantasy
ⱯꓭOOⱯꓕ
>>215177386Thanks maester
>>215183720Half this shit was orchestrated by Littlefinger and in the books basically nobody even suspects him.
>>215176751How come the other kingdoms (specifically the Noryh or Vale) didn't declare independence sometimes after the dance? The only reason Targs became King's was because they had Dragon and without them I don't see what they could do to the Vale or North if they told them to fuck off
>>215188571>no one suspects the sketchy money lender who constantly ruins everything for everyoneSeems realistic.
>>215188705He's not like that in the books, he's much more normal and likeable. Not that people trust him, but nobody trusts anyone at that level.
>>215188730He literally runs a bordel where 12 year old girls are taught to take it up the ass by whippings that leave permanent scars.
>>215188762So he runs a brothel, big deal.
>>215188762Only Stannis cares about that crap
should i read the books?
>>215188921No, read the Dunk and Egg books instead.
>>215188921Yeah if you liked GoT then you will love ASOIAF. The books are better on practically everything with few exceptions (Robert and Ned's reletionship is better in the show imo) so they are a straight up upgrade in terms of writing.
>>215176751Remember an episode where Ragnar executes another guy with blood eagle execution?
>>215189028Was that the episode where Uhtred takes back Bebbanburg?
just started to watch HoD and it looks very cheap compared to GoT.
>>215176874brother robert always knew, just like he knew lyanna wasnt abducted and raped. Life is fucked. Its about duty v honor

>>215189982Those are just niggers.
>>215176840the last few season was such a shitty experience i didn't even remember that Theon died. I still have no memory of his death, but i believe you.
How obvious or vague will the show be about Dunk's knighthood?
>>215190301>asia being so fucking gigantic but having almost nothing attractive going on is insane. tokyo sounds nice, that is it. catch my ass in paris.
>it's Bran chapter
>>215186992Tbf the dothraki respawned
>>215178384The mountain is almost 8ft and explicitly is not slow. Also in contrast to internet retardation hammers are not effective anti armor weapons. Robert would be easily stomped
>>215190568kekanon btfo
>>215183743she looks anywhere between 17 and 35
>>215190894almost like she's faceless
>it's Tyrion chapter
>>215186881The biggest issue is them being steppe nomads that refuse to do anything but charge head on. Irl they would avoid fighting more than anything so they could draw enemies out of position and threaten logistics etc. If they were threatening to avoid essos's guards and just burn down all their crops then it would make sense because essos got no cav or forts.The only way it works as written is if they just have a constant and overwhelming manpower advantage
>>215190812Wouldn't a warhammer have a spike?
>it's Cersei chapter
>>215180789Dothraki dont have daggers just goofy curve blades, they would basically be unable to kill even an incompetent man in plate
>>215190943Yeah but even if it penetrates the plate its not going very far into the person because of the gambeson. Fighting in plate was very brutal because there simply is no easy way to kill someone in it and you just end up wrestling and daggering joints until bleedout
>>215190958My favourites
>>215188921Yes but read ball of beasts or whatever the current feast/dance combo pdf is as dance and feast werent meant to be split and it drags
>>215190931lemme guess, he's going to be drinking, wondering where whores go, and doing acrobatic dances
>it's Reek chapter
>>215191240>Reek is just Gollum missing his preciousGRRM is such a hack
>>215191093Sounds brutal indeed. I was at a museum once and the guide said that swords aren't that great against armor but cheap axes performed far better. The example they gave was Vikings fighting the English, and the Vikings had lower quality weapons but their axes easily penetrated armor which gave them a massive advantage on the field. I think that's what they said, it was a while ago.
>>215191336Im not an expert but i would think both would be using polearms/spears at that point, there wouldnt be plate also. Axe has more force on swing but sword can stab so vs chainmail/padding sword probably still has advantage but this is complicated by shields which an axe can wreck much easier
>>215191336The shieldwall was the typical formation of the day in that era. Spears were the main weapon used, though of course axes and swords saw use.The Norse did employ some special pole axes primarily used to break shieldwall formations iirc
>>215190679Best story
>>215187296>>215191336>>215191496>>215191613What's the average life expectancy of a knight?
>>215176840>>215177367>>215180741>>215186992>>215188150>>215190501The audience for GoT are midwit normies. They don't care about internal logic and consistency, they're not excited by that. They're excited by their favourite badass hero doing badass things.
>>215179357>AH SAVE ME VALE MAN
>>215192752Literally everyone hated last season though. The show started going to shit back in season 5 though, and yeah most normies seemed to love it despite that. S1-S4 were great though.
>>215176840Imagine getting to the climax of the longest plot thread going in the show, the thread that is essentially “the rest of the plot doesn’t matter because of this other threat” and then making it complete and total shit. The show was shit before this already, but this was really the big slap in the face. I remember watching it with my buddy who was a much bigger fan than me and he thought it was cool until I pointed some shit out to him and he thought about it for a minute and realized it was dogshit.
>>215192990"Everyone" "hated" the last season because they saw a lot of other people hate the last season so they thought it was popular to hate the last season and therefore they pretended to hate the last season. Secretly, they think it's badass to see le hecking cool brown people on horses slaughter white people, or for le hecking cool KHALEESI slaughter the evil dudes with her super cool dragons.If they disliked anything then they only disliked that Daenerys "went mad" because they wanted her to become le hecking queen of Westeros.
>>215190301>laughs in Volantene
>It's a Danaerys chapter
>>215193166Pretty sure that this kind of people are minority. Most of the normies don't actually give that much shit about strong wymyn and brown people, they just consume slop. And even for slop consumers season 8 was just way too fucking bad.
>>215193166This. They got mind broken when their communist feminist leftist woke queen got packed up and are still seething and coping all these years later. The best part is it’s gonna happen again in a few years with rhaenyra, and I’ll get to enjoy their misery a second time
>>215194212Goddamnit thanks for the spoilers fuck sake but I only have myself to blame
>>215194212hotd s2 was garbage, nobody's gonna care
>>215190983bows are good against armor and dothraki excel at using them. Drogo's aresenal is also much better than the common dothraki
>>215193166OR... it was just visibly, painfully bad, so much so that it could be mistaken for a Friedberg & Seltzer parody of earlier seasons (which it essentially was, with the only caveat that Benioff & Weiss had been in place all along but just didn't have book material to sponge off anymore)

CATELYN: We share a common enemy.STANNIS: The Iron Throne is mine by right. All those that deny that are my foes.RENLY: The whole realm denies it, from Dorne to the Wall. Old men deny it with their death rattle and unborn children deny it in their mother's wombs. No one wants you for their king. You never wanted any friends, brother. But a man without friends is a man without power.STANNIS: For the sake of the mother who bore us, I will give you this one night to reconsider. Strike your banners, come to me before dawn, and I will grant you your old seat in the Council. I'll even name you my heir until a son is born to me. Otherwise I shall destroy you.RENLY quickly considers the offer.RENLY: Look across those fields, brother.

Anon can make an original script?

>>215179160This guy sucked dick, nothing he has said or will say should ever be taken serious.
>>215185657>They are super racist and bigoted>They>look up a video>clearly a mans voiceKill yourself.
>>215198233Why would they ever do that? They always respected the Watch and sent many of their cadet sons there. It's not like they have lack of lands anyway, especially one so far up in the North and harder to till.
>>215198233>>215198491Eddard was actually planning on settling abandoned holds in the gift with new lords. Benjen thinks it's a good idea as long at the new lords would pay their taxes to the Watch instead of Winterfell but they never got around to actually implementing it.
>>215195022Stannis had one of the most memorable introductions in an any show I’ve ever seen. Just straight out the gate with burning of the old gods and that badass theme song. Was obsessed with his character.
>>215185657Actually i think you're this youtuber and you're trying to get us to sub to your channel.>They are super racist and bigotedWriting this on 4chan and expecting people to be on your side is dumb af.
>>215178384Sandoq the Shadow…
How good is magic in this world? Barely see any of it in the show. Is it more useful to learn how to swing a blade?
>>215178384Melisandre spontaneously combusts his ass. >>215199265Magic is very scary anon.
>>215190812According to AI:This is a close fight, but Robert Baratheon in his prime likely wins, with a 60-40 edge. His warhammer is a perfect counter to Gregor’s armor, capable of delivering bone-shattering blows even if they don’t pierce. Robert’s experience against skilled opponents like Rhaegar gives him an advantage in handling Gregor’s brute force. If Robert keeps his distance early, avoids Gregor’s initial onslaught, and lands a few solid hammer strikes to the head or joints, he could bring the Mountain down.However, if Gregor lands a clean greatsword hit or grapples Robert (using his size advantage), he could end the fight quickly. The Mountain’s raw power and durability make him a terrifying opponent, but Robert’s combination of strength, skill, and weapon choice tips the scales.Final Answer: Robert Baratheon, barely, due to his warhammer’s armor-crushing power and superior combat experience.
>>215199521That AI is clearly biased in favor of the Baratheons. Use another one.
>>215176840show went to shit way before that
>>215180701what do dothraki even raid? there are free cities and basically nothing else in essos
>>215199265>>215199407I don't think just anyone can do it but Melissandre's shadow baby assassin was probably the most powerful magic attainable by normal humans. Since she's a Red Priestess and serves 'The One True God, the Lord of Light(™)' I don't exactly know if that even is magic. Technically magic is usually a left hand path thing, whereas the shadow baby demon was probably aided by TLOL. That raises the question which gods are true in that world, is it polytheism: old/new gods or the red monotheism, or a third option, henotheism.INT. A CAVEDAVOS leads MELISANDRE through the cave, bearing a lantern.DAVOS: Strange that this Lord of Light asks you to work in the shadows.MELISANDRE: Shadows cannot live in the dark, Ser Davos. They are servants of light, the children of fire. And the brighter the flame, the darker they are.DAVOS holds up the lantern to bars that obstruct their way.DAVOS: These weren't here before. They've barred the passage.MELISANDRE: They can't bar our passage.MELISANDRE has disrobed, arms outstretched, revealing a swollen, fully pregnant belly. DAVOS is shocked at this sudden change.DAVOS: Gods protect us.MELISANDRE: There's only one god, Ser Davos, and he only protects those who serve him.
>>215187498this didnt matter in the end kek
>>215188705well millions voted for trump
>>215192990People were liking the season for the majority of it, at least the first 4 episodes. I witnessed it all online. The only complaints were stuff like the wight fight being too dark to see or Arya killing the night king instead of Jon, but the average viewer was enjoying it otherwise. It wasn't until the last 2 episodes where everyone decided the whole season sucked. It was a bad season, but most people reached that conclusion because they were told so and couldn't form their own opinions. They were technically right, but it was all bandwagoning.
>>215193166it was beyond terrible even for normies
>>215193166>"Everyone" "hated" the last season because they saw a lot of other people hate the last season so they thought it was popular to hate the last season and therefore they pretended to hate the last seasonIt was a bad season, but this is totally true. I was seeing it all unfold online and thought it was bizarre. People realized the "smart people: didn't like it, and they wanted to be like the "smart people," so they changed their tune.
>>215199788>I don't think just anyone can do it but Melissandre's shadow baby assassin was probably the most powerful magic attainable by normal humans. It’s probably just something powerful and capable shadowbinders can do. One has to wonder how male shadowbinders do it (probably rape - and lethal for the birther) and how it relates to eating those mutant fish from the shadowy river (did Mel also this this?). It’s the sort of magic that only magic can defend against. Warring sorcerers in the past - when this sort of magic was more common - likely played games of rocket tag and hunking down in magic bunkers. Probably super paranoid, sorcerers living in a time like that.
>>215194346>takes 2 years between each season>budget as high as season 8 GoT>same fucking characters and locations over and over with CGI dragons sprinkled in>nowhere near the same quality as even the latter half of GoThow did they fuck it up so bad? I think D&D deserve a little credit.
>>215200018did Mel also do this*
>>215199942>I can't say it was good b-but I'm not like those fuckin NORMIES who also didn't like it!Pseud
>>215176840Considering the wights and white walkers die to just a poke of dragon glass, and the wights behave erratically, the most OP but too realistically boring strat would be to give everyone a dragon glass spiked shield and just let the wights kill themselves as they pummel your shield.
>>215199728truly 'what do they eat' type situation
>>215177445Jon killing Daenerys for the greater good is a good ending, don't let the yaas queen slayers tell you otherwise.
Reminder that /tv/, and by extension /gothotd/, is Blackwood turf. Green traitors and Brackenshits please get fucked in a ditch.
>>2151779544 died, 3.5 lived. I'd say that's not too bad.
>>215200183True
>>215200185wait what are you-hey HEY HEY STOP STOP NO! NONONONO, DAEMON I WAS JUST FOLLOWING YOUR ORDERS WHAT ARE YOU-WAITWAITWAITWAIT JUST STOP OKAY? YOU DONT HAVE TO DO-YOU DONT HAVE TO FUCKING DO THIS JUST STOP!

>>215200183after he turbo cuck'd for 2 entire seasons....
>>215187099I hate how as the show progressed they did more cuts between every swing of the sword. Let the actors do some dangerous shit. I was disappointed with the clegane fight.
>>215199265Magic seems to be super conditional and Melisandre's POV implies that whilst she can do really impressive stuff, it takes alot of effort and resources to do anything even as a trained Shadowbinder.Putting up that facade of being this super mysterious magician takes of a ton of effort.Blood Magic usually involves just straight up sacrificing people to do vaguely useful things.You usually need to have some ancient bloodline where you're probably descended from some marriage with an old mystical race, or your ancestors were involved in some bloodrite, and then you need another related animal. That's for anything for warging/bonding.Fortelling is often mostly unintentional and good luck making sense of anything, and there's already cases of self-fulfilling propechy happening in the series.You can bring people back to life but it's largely random on whether it works or not.Necromancy is hard and only the Others have been shown to be able to accomplish it efficiently.Glamours seem to be relatively easy to pull off once you get the knack, usually you disguise yourself with some magical item. Faceless Men might be able to do it by themselves but it probably requires some form of ego death to accomplish.Melisandre is super strong but consistently needs to use Valyrian blood to accomplish anything and probably has all kinds of powders/stones etc. etc. needed to do her bullshit.
>>215187206I feel like I'm reading an early 2010s comment.
>>215177386danke doc
>>215200310Daemon and the Tully brat will pay for the unlawful murder of Ser Willem, as all sinners must pay for their treacheries in turn.
>>215200176i mean there are free cities and? nothing else there are like 20 khalasars what do they eat
>>215187395wars became gay ever since guns became the most practical way to kill someone. now it's about gay luck and money over physical strength and skill.
>>215200185Blackwoods are such subhumans that they were exiled from the North while Boltons weren't.And Cuckraven is a cuck.
>>215200183jons lineage didnt matter in the end
>>215200362all this didnt matter in the show
>>215200414I don't buy that tale, I think they were sent south deliberately and for a purpose, and the exile story is just a cover. Like you say, scum like the Boltons are still in the North after the shit they pulled over centuries? Doesn't add up.Oh, and t. Bitterbitch that died in a ditch, Bloodraven fucking won.
>>215200486...getting cucked and stuck in a tree award.>I don't buy that tale, I think they were [headcanon]Done.
>>215200406it was always like that, you think knights fought 1v1 like in the moviesthe only good thing was that nobility and kings went to wars, now they just seat hundreds of km from frontlines
>>215200514Canon gives no answer, nobooks, and seethe eternal at Bittersteel getting cucked and dying in exile like the shitter he was.
>>215200580Bittersteel got rejected (bullet dodged btw) but not cucked.Meanwhile Shiera literally slept around because she thought that Bloodraven is cute when he is jealous.
>>215191332Which characters would you pick as your Nazgul?>Euron>Leyton Hightower or his daughtet, whoever has stronger magic>Jon>Daenerys>Stannis>?>?>?>?
Imagine getting your religion from gay little tree goblins. Couldn’t be me
Here’s your god bro
>>215200362>Putting up that facade of being this super mysterious magician takes of a ton of effort.She makes a point that all magicians of worth put up auras of mystique, and that: “the more effortless the sorcery appears, the more men fear the sorcerer”. Magic is about power and presence both.
>>215200690>>215200729Based and Drowned Godpilled.
>>215200729They’re not the old gods. Their green seers are the old gods, or at the very least they play the part of the old gods, or the old gods act through them. The dragonlords likely did the same with their glass candles.
>>215176751The craziest thing is the Cersei/the Lannisters got super ultra omega lucky with the boar killing Robert otherwise they were shit out of luck and would have all hanged once Ned told him the truth.
>>215200835He would have died some other way. Dude was a fat sloppy old drunk at this point in his life.
>>215200185>>215200310btfo
>>215200948How is that even slightly relevant? If he hadn't died on that hunting trip the Lannisters would have all been executed by Robert.
>>215199788Can Shadowbinders do other things besides shadow killers?I know quiathe does other magic stuff, but is it shadowbinding?But why is shadowbinding considered the most taboo? Especially over warlocks?Martin really needs to have more development for his magic.
>>215200183Dave and DaN said they came up with it in 2013
Does /got/hotd/dunk/ pledge allegiance to the Red Fossoways or the Green Fossoways?
>>215201474Red because Aerion can do no wrong.
Really the show fell off once Robert died, he should have his own show.
>>215198735Feels like have the books are plans that don't go anywhere.
Shireen Baratheon looks like that?
>>215176751I still seethe that Jon didn't become king
>>215202180Yeah but if she has Stannis' genes that means she'll go bald and that's sad :'(
>>215202253He's a literal bastard who wasn't even in the Seven Kingdoms for much of the series. I'd be pissed if America had a major political crisis and our new emergency president once things subside was the ambassador to Sudan or some shit.
>>215202253Expectation subverted
>>215190958I used to hate them but now I find them so funny
>>215202366Except he wasn't a bastard. His parents got married before he was born. He and Stannis had the best claims.
>>215202042Cast Cavill as a young Robert.
>>215202489>His parents got married before he was bornHe's legally a bastard, as his parentage was hidden to basically everyone. He also would have to fight against everyone claiming him to be lying about that, and contend with the Baratheon right of conquest. Honestly if the books finish (fat chance given the life expectancy of obese people plus George's age) I imagine the real ending to be Gendry.
>>215202539He's got a guy that can prove it (Bran) and the high septon diary that the Citadel has. >Baratheon right of conquestThere were no legitimate ones left in the show.
>>215201516Will the jaceposters simp over him? The actors look alike to me.
AGGH!
Do we have any hope for HOTD season 3
>>215202677
>>215202677No, even if Dunk and Egg is good, it doesn't means shit for HOTD.I don't trust the writers at all.
>>215198961STANNISSTANNISSTANNIS
>>215202772>>215202787Fuck....
