Do you consider him to be a genius?
No
The genius of Um Actshually.
>>215804811No, just well educated in history and literature.
>>215804811I consider him someone that went on a "British battlefields and fortifications" tour in the late 80s.
>>215804928who's a genius then
>>215804811>does nothing>still worshipped by midwitsI guess he's doing something write
>>215804928>well educated in history and literature.nigger he is Dan Carlin level at best
>>215804811He never had a concrete plan for the series to begin with and he's admitted it. He knows how it's supposed to end but got lost along the way. He introduced too many characters and side plots to keep track of, got too big for his britches.
A genius who scammed millions
>>215804811Nah, his "realistic fantasy" was just appropriate and fitting for the cynical/nihilistic tv era of late 2000s - early 2010s. By the end of GoT everyone already got fed up with this.
>>215804811No, Lovecraft and Jack Kirby deserve the term "American Tolkien" more.
>>215805638Lowkey feel that Warhammer Fantasy “subverted” Tolkien better. Warcraft III was derivative of Warhammer Fantasy, D&D, and Tolkien, but it was still better than GRRM.
His book about vampires on a riverboat was pretty good and the self insert badass ugly fat bastard character was based.
>>215804811Of a certain kind, sure.
>>215805690Warhammer has always been unashamedly pulpy. Gurm on the other hand genuinely thinks medieval england was some non-stop rape and murder factory
>>215805029>He never had a concrete plan for the series to begin with and he's admitted it.Not true. You can read the full draft of the story from back when it was much, much smaller; had only three books planned, and was much smaller in scope in terms of characters and events.
>>215805674Lovecraft wrote too little for that to be the case, and had no magnum opus.
Depends how smart his tax policies are.
Why can't he finish his books bros
>>215806091He's afraid of his writing
>>215804811What does he even do nowadays? Going to Dubai and eating huge sandwiches?
if he can solve the Mereenese knot and bring Danny to westeros, its possible the conclusion to asoiaf will be the greatest ever. It wont happen however and Tolkien will remain with the belt
>>215806134He's probably on call for whatever companies are adapting his works as a consultant. I dunno if he's gonna be part of the crew for the Elden Ring movie but it's possible. Outside of that, definitely eating big sandwiches.
He's a fat bastard
>>215806091Too smart.
>>215806233I don't think he has that much involvement with the latest mobile game cashgrabs. Given that his publishers released a illustrated version of FoC consisting entirely of AI-slop while George is in the middle of a lawsuit against openAI.
>>215804978not even in the deepest shillboards on plebbit is he worshipped anymore.anywhere where anything related to his works is discussed, he is getting ridiculed or straight up hatedthis dude needs 2 decades for a fucking fantasy book
>>215806384He also racist
>>215806392if only. that would make him 2% based
>>215804811he gave up on trying to finish the series.
>>215804811What's his tax policy?
>>215806445Not publishing to avoid taxes.
>>215804928>well educated in history and literaturelol
>>215804859FPBP.
>>215804928By his own admission he gets bored with the actual history parts and only cares about the spectacle and soap opera bullshit.
>>215804811he broke with the trope of attractive means good, ugly means evil
>>215804811He somehow managed to convince millions the medieval ages were a time of soulless atheistic retardation where being a murderous retard awarded you instead of got you killed
Isn't he a jew
>>215804811He's laughing all the way to the bank so I guess it does make him pretty smart.
>>215804811This will hurt many to admit, but he really changed how TV and literature do storytelling.The twists and turns in Game of Thrones will forever be the 'big ones', laying seeds for minds to come like Tolkien did with the world of LOTR.
>>215807291LOLLMAO
>>215804811he made valve right
>>215806233I still can't belive shit with no plot like Elden Ring is getting a movie adaptation. It'll be a disaster.
Crazy how hard he fell off the spotlight
>>215806220A horrible plague strikes Essos and kills inconvenient characters en masse.
>>215804969Tolkien since he can actually finish his series.
>>215807222His father was the illegitimate son of a jew.
Yeah, he looks smart....who is he?
>>215807291nobody is still using asoaif as model for storytelling dummy
A genius scammer
>>215806134he makes short films out of his (some dead) friends novelshe edits wild cardshe has a pub that he goes tohe goes to book signings he is rebuilding a train or some shit
>>215805690>Lowkey feel that Moorcock “subverted” Tolkien betterYeah that's no secret unless you're a turbo pleb. Even George "single R" Martin ripped off his stuff.
>>215808111Truly the American Hitler.
Based scammer
>>215804811he made millions from an unfinished book series so yes
>>215804811>>manufactured successmany such cases
>sells two million words of loose stool fictionThat's what we call a visionary in the biz.
>>215807193Are there any ugly good people in the books? Brienne?
>Brace yourselves! Gather up your trolls and your soldier elves!
>>215804811He's a genius at writing. Fantasy being realistic doesn't necessarily mean it's inherently good. It shocks you with the twists, but doesn't inspire otherworldly hope like LotR. Tolkien was also very realistic in his depiction of nature and travelling.>>215805725I was reading it on Kindle, but dropped it after a while. The fatty was badass tho.
>>215811595There's nothing realistic about it. It reads like a socially retarded loser's impression of realism, or that of an edgy teenager, who thinks everything being excessive grim and disgusting is the same as it being realistic.
>>215804811bro sold his unfinished work for millions, ofc he's a genius
He's clever in the way Jews are clever. It's a low brand of guile in large quantities.
>>215804811No.
>>215804811No. I do consider Tolkien one thoughbeit
>>215804811no
Kek based jew stealing millions from soiboy faggots
yes
>>215804811maybe
>>215811987>you can't imagine hobbits having sexGeorge I...
>>215811987>he doesn't think about Rosie Cotton being brought to a red-faced orgasm on a daily basis
>>215812367>red-faced orgasmhuh?
Dubs and he dies within a year
>>215812403
>>215812409good, I want the fat fuck to live for a long time to see his name become an utter joke
>>215812409He will never die
>>215808559Literally every dark fantasy goes through the tropes now to be 'realistic' and having overblown twists and 'uncaring deaths' for main characterers lol
>>215812539examples?
>>215811987The>or should beis always such a hilarious self report.
The Roose is Loose!>ice in a high ball glass>2oz Campari, 2oz grenadine>top with club soda
