Rhaenyra loses editionprevious: >>217441194
Renly was the rightful king
I haven't read the books but was that Lannister meant to be so Dornish-coded?
>>217446615>Depicted as a Chad>Got crippled in his first dragon fight and has to sneak attack a fat defenceless woman and her son through treachery because he got BTFO despite having the biggest dragon in the realm on his side and had already sneak attacked another child
>>217446615Any webm requests?
>>217446631The only thing he was a rightful king of was the graveyard if they even bothered to bury him in one.
I just watched the episode and thought it was fine, but I have no real excitement for it going forward. I cannot tell if that is because the episode just whatever or if I am just sort of apathetic in response to GOT and HOTD. I suppose I will have to see what the next episode is like to have a better judgement.
>>217446615>/got/hotd/dunk/Cant wait for what the general is going to be when the arya spinoff releases
>>217446659Any of the dancing.
>>217446659>>217446704Been a while I read DnE, Lyonel and Dunk dancing wasn't in the books right?>>217446659Oh, 'dead' whore's tits.
>>217446691They have stooped making episodic self containing stories and just try to make it a long movie split into 8-10 parts. An episode by itself feels like partial plot leaving everone unsatisfied
>>217446691There's still a lot of time to fuck things up, even though the first steps are good. HOTD and GOT trained you to look out of a gradual decline in quality as a show proceeds, so you won't feel sure about Dunk until it's done or near-done.I have a very good feeling about the show so far based on just the first episode, it feels right. But I've thought the same in GOTS1-3 and look how that turned out.
>>217446650What Lannister? There are no Lannister fucking shits at the Ashford tourney, do you mean dondarrion?
>>217446631> Im voting for renly baratheon because we need a King who sucks cock and eats ass and gets fucked in his ass with cocks and eats cum
>>217446744No in fact lyonel is barely in it until the trial of the seven, this is a good change, it makes far more sense now that he'll step up
>>217446631How on earth did he get the entire Stormlands and Reach to shit all over the line of succession without a single lord going against it? Even the Greens and the Blackfyre fucking shits didn't try to pull the shit they did without at least having something resembling a rightful claim.
>>217446744>Lyonel and Dunk dancing wasn't in the books right?No it wasn't. But in the books Lyonel's intervention feels a bit sudden and contrived, with this change if they do it correctly the intervention will feel more earned.
>>217446691Only problem I have are the actors. Dunk is ok, Egg could've been more haughty. Lyonel reminds me of Ray Stevenson (Titus Pullo) and was my headcanon for the Laughing Storm.
Do you think we'll see egg get a clout on the ear?
>>217446851He never does in the stories, dunk is always threatening to but never actually does it
>>217446849I thought Dunk looked okay in the pictures but the actor is actually pretty good. Besides shitting in my face I guess
>>217446811Plot. You have to understand that ASOIAF is a story of plot contrivance just as much as it is a story of "realism" almost the entire Targaryen family dies to a fucking fire and no one cares enough to mention it until halfway through the story. Because we needed a plot contrivance for why no one tried what Dany did, and also why there aren't like 500 targs running around.
>>217446881>>217446851Dunk would never, he a gentle soul and has a soft spot for fellow orphans
>>217446849This is the thing with the laughing storm, we know almost nothing about him he shows up is cool AF and that's it. Dinc mentions him later in mystery knight when some pro tourney knight is talking about how great he is and dunk says>What you think your better then the Laughing Storm?To which the snail knight replies>I never said that I just said I was really really goodSomething along those lines, but we never really get many or almost any scenes with Lyonel Baratheon, so everyone has their own idea of what kind of a person he is and sure a Titus Pullo type is many including my thoughts about who he was, but I'm really happy seeing this. I can see the fat man writing this character exactly a party animal who is extremely competent at combat and doesn't suffer sicophants and fools likes to drink likes to party loves to fight, it's perfect
>>217446704
what is the premise of this show and why should I care? Egg short for Aegon, I get it so he's obviously a Targaryen, but that's all I know
>>217447027literally me at all of my cousins weddings>>217447049up to you, it's black cop white cop buddy comedy but black cop is actually white kid
>>217447027If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye JoeI'd been married long time agoWhere did you come from, where did you go?Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
>>217447049Watch A Knights Tale, it's about a poor lad trying to change his stars
>>217446744>Oh, 'dead' whore's tits.
>>217447027Peter Dinklage seems taller than I remember.
>>217446754Lyonel what was he? Was he not Lannister? Why the heck was he wearing stag/deer horns?
>>217446811Getting the reach on board was a huge win, what's his face margerys dad wanted her to be a queen and he threw all the strength of the reach at it
>>217447074>literally me at all of my cousins weddingsHe is also literally me if I was tall, white with an attractive face
>>217447123He's a Baratheon you dumb fuck the Lannisters sigil is a lion, shut the fuck up and go sit in the corner, you aren't allowed to post for at least an hour
Cute and canon!
Bobby B did nothing wrong! Bow you Targshits!
House of the Dragons S2 was really bad and dragged on too. Is this better or should I succumb to my Game of Thrones fatigue?
People on here like the second book alot but I'm a big fan of the third. I like the conspiracy stuff and the theme of "true" knights not being very knightly compared to the true lords
>>217447230>Is this betteToo early to tell, I am not a bookfag but I like the potential it has shown so far. The humor is pretty good imo
>>217447230This won't drag. It's only 6 episodes and short
>>217447259I like all 3 I just like the second one best
>>217447049>what is the premise of this show and why should I care? if GOT/HOTD was about the devious backstabbing and power plotting of the high nobility from their POV, Dunk is more about dirt-poor roughshod lowborn idiots who despite their ham-handedness actually emody virtue and honor and goodness more than any of the nobles from GOT/HOTD did
>>217447279>6 episodesFor all three books, or just the first one? Because each book is 2 hours maximum.
>>217447230HotD season 2 is 4 really good episodes and 4 shitty episodes. there is no in-between at all, it barely even makes sense to generalize about the quality of the season.
>>217446659Whores laughing at Dunk for being a poorfag hedge knight.
>>217447302NTA, I am pretty sure they will stretch each book for a season
>>217447288I think the 2nd will make for good episodes
>>217447302Lol just the first book but you already knew that you disingenuous faggot
>>217447351I want to see the chicken fort in real life
>>217447331
>>217447027
>>217447367You'll only be disappointed
>>217447027>setting up their future duel in e1Fucking based
>>217447414Damn, didn't recognize him with all that hair
Was a big fan of the tent and dancing scene
>>217447422It's supposed to be disappointing that the point
Is there any show concept that might be interesting in that world but outside of Westeros?
any NIGGERS in this show?
>>217447465Margin Call Braavosi banker edition.
>>217447027B A S E D ASED
>>217447465I personally would like a show on the Faceless Men of Braavos, maybe the origin and how they grew
>>217447487Only you
>>217447487Some minor female eye candy
>>217447507>maybe the origin and how they grewThat is probably one of those things where the mystery and whatever you can think up is more interesting than whatever they will give you.
"Words are wind," japed nuncle as grease dripped from his chin onto the nipples of his breakfast. He broke his fast on black bread, mulled wine, and bacon burned black while the planks of the ship groaned like a fat man taking a shit and the wench squealed as fat pink masts jutted into her swamp. The Princess shat in the privy, cursing the poorly cooked capon they had supped upon the night before, and ignored Nuncle's wise words. She could not hear him, for she was guzzling arbor gold and the more she drank the more she shat until she was shitting brown water. Nuncle tutted, shook his head, "She may be blood of the dragon, but does she know that the night is dark and full of terrors, where do whores go, that a Lannister always pays his debts, that Egg needs a clout in the ear, and that Winter is coming?"
>>217447492kek
>>217438259>>217438273Grok, fact check this for me
>>217446785dis nigga finna get his bussy crust BUSTED
>>217446785Hello saar
Why is Lyonel so peculiar? He is supposed to be just drunk or like that also when sober? Bookfags, is that what his book version is like?
>>217447539Yeah, you're right. I was watching a youtube channel which sorta delved into the origin it was somewhat intriguing at first but the more they dug into it the more it didn't make sense for me. I was hoping they made some cool lore of it in a tv show
>>217447465One of the dragonriders from Valyria trying to reach the southernmost part of Sothoryos. I think she gave up after 5 years, which tells you how big Planetos is.
>>217447558It says so on Wikipedia but i think Ira Parker wrote almost all episodesSo those "women" are just credited with him
>>217447558Oh I see you woke up faggot, could you keep your seething to a minimum
>>217446811Because Renly was fucking popular and beloved by everyone. The Crown was shitting their pants in the books about a Renly victory because of how OP his forces were. Stannis had to literally cheat to win.The most popular Baratheon married the hottest Tyrell alive, do the math
>>217447572I'm not a bookfag either, he felt more Dornish than Baratheon to me
>>217446936I don't think you know what "contrivance" means or is, anon. All the Targs dying to fire is purposefully ironic and one of the base themes of the books. Learn 2 basic subtext, zoomie.
>>217447572His book version is basically absent, he shows up in the finale and that's pretty much it, he's discussed and mentioned but the actual guy isn't their until the finale
>>217447591Aight>>217447599I'm not him but explain the lore
Sweet shield
>>217447601>be beloved, most handsome, propably smartest with most powerful forces>also be married to hottest chick>be gaytruly a monkey paw
>>217447647>explain!!!Basically some anon has been sperging for a couple weeks now spamming and so on the usual, he's very upset
>>217447572>Bookfags, is that what his book version is like?No. In the books he's just big, loud and laughs a lot. Kind of like Robert was before he got old, fat and depressed.
>>217447601Renly was a dick, always making jokes at others expenses. Stannis wins
>>217447659looks a bit gay, is it house Tyrell?
>>217447705That is Set Duncan the Talls sigil and shield you fag, show some respect to the greatest knight that ever was or ever will be.
How many years before GoT and/or after HotD is this?
>>217447781>years before GoTaround 90>after HotDaround 70-80 i think
>>21744778189 years before got about a 100 years after hotd
>>217447694Stannis go to bed
>>217447814I hope you are doing a bit.
>>217447817> I swear, I will go to my grave thinking of my brother's peach.Kinda gay
>>217447027I like his vibe for Westeros, a silly almost mad man with a slight hint of depression
>>217447668Margery was literally suggesting her brother help them get her pregnant, the guy Renly was sleeping with anyways.Renly wouldve done his royal duty and squeezed some babys into her over the years, and then he couldve whored around with whom ever he wanted. she too.Their marriage would've been a lot happier and more productive than Robert+Cersei. Its literally a win-win that he's gay and she's a slut anyways.
>>217447857? No what do you mean that's the timeline
>>217447259People just like the blackfyres and bloodraven
>>217447811>>217447814The Targ family tree in the show skip one of Aerys II 'The Mad King"'s ancestors, right? Jaeherys II? Is it still within that timeframe?
>>217447908If that's true then still yea that's still about right 1/2 way between dance and got
>>217447635>Muh it's purposely ironicNo it isn't. It's a coverup for going halfway it no the story and then the question of "why the fuck are there only 5 goddamn people in the royal family when they've been around for 300 years" shows up. It's ironic in a post-hoc way to justify the needed random culling of the family because the entire setting falls apart if something like that doesn't happen. I swear to God people now adays have this obsession with justifying blatant contrivances with "muh themes, muh subtext!" There is none apart from the immediately ironic "lol fire guys died to fire" and "lol Rhaegar was actually born when that happened, doesn't that make him look like some prophesied hero? Isn't it ironic what happens later". It exists to serve the plot that occurs at the beginning of the story because none of that shit was thought up yet.
>>217447633Stormlanders are practically dornish
>>217447751Duncan the best knight? No sir
>age Dunk up and change virtually nothing else about the character >ends up becoming 100x more relatable to the target audience
>>217447958thems fighting words dorne man
Is season 2 good? I watched the first season and remember being disappointed but i did watch them all. The wigs were bad though especially on the you know whos
>>217447958Well they don't have the plot armor and the hot women(seriously, is there a single stormlander woman in the story described as beautiful?), so they're missing the defining traits.
>>217447882Tony would be a Daemon B supporter and you know it
>>217447908If I remember correctly, J2 is missing from GOT but is back in the HOTD tree.
>>217447953Anon, the first draft of AGoT was like, written in the fucking 80s...It's intentional shit about the Targs.
>>217447991s2's much worse
>>217448008HotD is not canon, it’s lesbian fanfic
>>217447999He would be a Daeron supporter because he has the closest equivalent to an Italian wife.
>>217447991Season 2 is worse than 1, it doesn't even have a good season finaleWait till Season 3 and if thats good (highly doubt it) binge watch it then
>>217448024Is matt smith still in it?
>>217447908Yeah I’ve been meaning to askWhich King got removed from the show universe if ASOIAF so everyone can be aged up?
>>217448049GODS I WAS HORNY THEN!
>>217448049yes but barely any good moments
>>217448035
>>217448049>Paddy got to dry hump thatdang
>>217447974Yes he is go shit on a brick Dayne, you poncy fag. Look at it this way Dunc taught Gerold Hightower who taught Dayne, in the end all the greatest knights in the kingdom can trace it back to Ser Duncan without exception.
>>217448038>Dornish wife a mulignan
>>217448088I cant believe this was so long ago.
>>217448022George literally said himself he didn't even have the Mad King, the dozen+ Targ kings, and etc... planned out at all, he just made them up as he wrote the scenes. You're talking about the same draft that basically doesn't resemble the current story at all. And before you ask for proof:>https://youtube.com/watch?v=OG2-6Tj51FM
>>217447991S2 rushes or straight-out skips over actually interesting or important stuff and in its place focuses on what in a longer season would basically be padding. So it feels both rushed and dragged-out.
>>217448061I’m betting Aerys I
>>217448061Which Aegon is Egg?
>>217448076
>>217448076What category did she get nominated in awards? Best Actor (Female)?
>>217448094Aemon and Daemon would put Lunk in the ground
>>217448109kek
>>217448162>Jobber and Jobber Squared.They both just got hyped up because everyone else in their era was a dogshit fighter, or like Daemon they got their shit kicked in but no one likes to remember it.
>>217448162Best knight doesn’t necessarily mean best fighter
We need to see the Boltons again
>Duncan is irishMy disappointment is immeasurable
>>217448203Daemon was like 13 when he lost a fight to a guy like 8 years older than him, hardly fair and he barely lost. And Aemon never jobbed
>>217448162Lmao no he would've spanked aemon and broken daemons jaw and sent them on their way with the simple proviso to do better, early Dunc is strong late game Duncan is a fucking beast
>>217447659which merchant sells this one?
>>217448203>They both just got hyped up because everyone else in their era was a dogshit fighterWhat? People were legends during this time, it was almost Bobby B’s era of talented killers
>>217448137V
