>>217754928>samwell tarly is clearly grrms self-insert>character is a constantly whining bitch who never loses weight or gets any stronger despite living in harsh wintery conditions on minimal food rationswhat did fatman mean by this?
....semoc eH
>>217755081the 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.
where can I watch dunk if I dont have HBOmax and am also too lazy to turn on my PC and torrent that shitany good streaming website? im fine with 480p btw.
>>217755152why is he still fat even after years of being in the night's watch?do americans find it impossible to imagine a man losing weight?
Reminder that maesters are the shock troops of atheism and deserve the rope
>>217755157go to your bathroom face the mirror turn around then bend over and stare up your own asshole, you useless faggt
>>217755180>yearslmao, from got to storm of swords a single year has gone by, and he only passed training because jon cheated
>>217755152seems like the seven has his back for predisposed reasons
>>217755227the seven are the only gods that aren't real you fucking maester fucking shit, also sam swore to the old gods, i.e bloodravens got his back
>>217755265treasonous swine
>>217755180>yearsread the books
>>217755283get ready for the flood maester fucking shits
>>217755326This is /tv/ not /lit/ thoughbeit. And in the show every season probably lasts a year.
>>217755157I can't believe I live in a time where the average 4chan poster doesn't even know how to stream 1080p shows for free. I'd blame the great reddit migration but even those niggas have subreddits devoted to the shit. God damn, imagine being even more pathetic than REDDIT. If you haven't caught on, I'm telling you to go to reddit unironically.
>>217755342A: nobody gives a shitB: from s1 to s3 in the show its been maybe 6months - a year C: all that stuff about sam is from the book and not in the show
>>217755081Sam is a self-insert of him as a nerdy teenager in an idealized fantasy setting where he somehow thrives and is liked. If you want the adult GRRM who is an ugly fat lard but even beautiful vampires are down to fuck, read Fevre Dream.
Let's settle this once and for all /got/. Was his rebellion justified? Or was he just a power hungry usurper?
>>217755308What cut of meat is that?
>>217755433Did you even watch the show? How is he power hungry?
>>217755453ham
>>217755476Maybe because he was willing to kill hundreds of thousands to sit on the iron throne.....?
>>217755308I don't remember the episode being this dark.
>>217755453Looks like pork chops
>>217755515its 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. You fucking whoreson
>>217755515>to sit on the iron throneto make the eight
>>217755308What kind of eggs are those?
>>217755453asscheeks
>>217755433Despite 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.
>>217755575goose eggs
>>217755433>crown prince “kidnaps” his betrothed, the daughter of Lord Stark>increasingly paranoid and violent king executes Lord Stark and his heir among other high borns >king calls for the heads of all Ned and Robert Entirely justified
>>217755550>aegon*aerysin any case the point still stands
>>217755308so where did the eggs go? That's why I don't like eggs on my sandwiches the yolk oozes out.
>>217755433killing Valyrians is always justified
>>217755433You know the Mad King want his and Ned's heads on spikes right? What choice do they have?
>>217755433
>>217755308Egg salivating is cute af. COMFY
>>217755628the way he was cooking them they would've been scrambled, also you are a faggot, a runny yolk in a good bacon and egg sandwich is one of the great joys in the world
>>217755453jib
>>217755157i was going to call you a stupid lazy unresourceful jeetbut then i remembered jeets are actually pretty good at finding ways to watch paid stuff for free here faggot https://wmovies.one/a-knight-of-the-seven-kingdoms/ now kill yourself
>>217755433entirely 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
>Don't fucking scream at me you dumbfuck you>look at you with your stupid crown, fucking 48% body fat>and you, you scrawny albino one eyed bastard>fuck you guys
>>217754928
>>217755846make the one where Dunk drank horse's piss
Guess you could say he was a bad egg
>>217755824Is this real?
>>217755846Yep, it's fucking kino
>>217755913Yeah, I was in Essos when he tweeted that
>>217755846Minnesota looking rough
>>217755308Scene isnt complete with the music and whistling. Too bad mootie didnt enable audio in webms.
>>217755846what the fuck are those kingsguard helmets?
>>217755933> he tweeted that*truthed that, Bloodraven banned Daemon for Twitter for inciting insurrection
>>217755518yeah i was thinking the same thing as i was making the webms, i had to turn the brightness up on my laptop. it looked fine on my tv thoughbeit
>>217755433>rebelling against the Mad KingYes>trying to kill the entire Targ lineNoI get the whole "if you're going to strike the king you must kill him" concept, but Bobby took it one step too far.
>>217755970But now they don’t have to worry about nukes
>>217755970Bookfags, 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?
>>217756020the only mistake based bobby b made was not taking ruling seriously enough and eating too much jam off whores tits.
>>217755795kek
This was confirmed to be the innkeeper from the first episode, but why does she have a winestain birth mark on her face
>>217755433The 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.
The seer's exaggerating, right? Or are they going to change Dunk's fate in the show?
>>217755846>average English footy match in the 80s
>>217756095>old woman said something?>she mustve peeked at the script
>>217756095I would just take it to be meaning rich in non-money terms, such as admiration people have for him or his happiness. A lot of prophecy shit is vague and not direct in the meaning.
>>217756147She was right about Egg though.
>>217756159majorly
>>217756095are people forgetting that tywin's father pissed away the wealth of the family giving out loans that would never be repaid?
>>217756051It 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.
>>217756070you wanna know how she got those scars?>>217756095the first answer is obviously bullshit intended to bait people into giving her money. egg's answer was serious
>>217756197sure, doesn't the king pick his own small council? he made bad decisions because of all the tit-jam and wine. he was a terrible king.
>>217755970For every good Targ king there were at least two crazy ones.
>>217755433The rebellion was justified but they really should have given the Iron Throne to Ned or Jon Arryn. He was a capable warrior but not fit for a king
>>217756239the king picks everyone but the maesterthis is why everyone fucking hates the citadelgrey rats
MWAAHHH the Fossoway Cider™ has always been celebrated for its excellence.
>>217755433In 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
bastid
>>217756270I 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.
>>217756305I'm enjoying this. all the other memes I don't like because I didn't watch hotd, but I like this
>>217756410I was originally the Arbor Gold poster, but Fossoway Cider feels more on-point for /Dunk/.I was happy to see another Anon make AI edits.
Thirsty? You don't need Arbor gold, you need cider!
>>217756188The family was still very wealthy, they were just a laughingstock because Tywin's father was weak and easily dominated by his bannermen.
>>217756401name jon arryn kinghave jon adopt/name ned heirhave ned pass succession of winterfell to benjenbobs your uncle you've unified like half the realms loyaltys to the crown firmlyJust need to make some marriages to dorne, and some to the stormlands but we all know bobby's a loyal lad
>>217756188I fail to see the connection? Are you saying the Lannister's at that time are broke? AFAIK yeah Tytos was giving out loans like horse's piss at tourneys to unsuspecting people but their gold mines are still in operation.
>>217756511I 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.
>>217756432Billions must drink Fossoway Cider™.
>>217756432yntgb
>>217756511Better 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.
>>217756628Didn't Jon kill the legend?
>>217756628who is the first character?
>>217756790The legend of flea bottom
>>217754928Is the show just going to be epic slop now after the reveal instead of comfy low stakes fantasy?
>>217756790The Legend: Karl Tanner.
>>217755340COPE harder seanigga, Leyton Hightower's sorcery will summon a storm so large every single ironnigger will be wiped off the face of the planet
Just started this but I can’t pay attention due to how distracting the main actor looks. He looks too Irish and it’s off putting.
>>217756829
>>217756790KARLFOOKIN TANNER
>>217756779technically one of the kraster daughters did but john did his besthe would have fucking died in a true 1v1 bc he was up against a FOOKIN LEGEND
>>217756790he's the guy from space game of thrones
>>217756839He is meant to look like a retarded poorfag peasant so hiring an Irish was a good decision.
got > dunk >>>>> hotd
>My son asked me how it felt to kill a man during the war>I told him I wouldn't know i've only killed Blackfyres
>>217756871It's not fair, Karl gets a power boost when fighting bastids.
I'm rewatching got until it gets shit (I believe it was S5)never watched hotd
>>217756897Maelys the Monstrous aka the last surviving Blackfyre (of the male line) was literally just an Ogre from WoW. Egg is based for being against them.Blackfyres truly are not human.Total Blackfyre Death.Genocide all Blackfyres.
>>217756975I liked HOTD s1 but theres such a huge falloff in quality with s2 that its hard to recommend to anyone.
The Dragon ought never lose.
>>217756975>I believe it was S5Just stop at the end of season 4, yeah.
>>217757015why does he look like that? is he a real ogre because of some blackfyre blood magic? or just terribly inbred?
>>217757022Basically viserys was carrying the show in season 1 and nobody picked up the slack once he was gone
>>217757084The latter.IIRC he was born a twin, but "ate" his brother in the womb or something. He's also incredibly big and strong, like near Mountains/Robert levels. He once crushed a man's skull in with his bare hands, almost exactly like how the Mountain crushed Oberyn's face.
LORD ASHFORD FUCKS HIS SHEEP
>>217755824
>>217757022I 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.
>>217755433>his
>>217755433They 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.
>>217757159oh no no fireball don't look!
>>217757149kek
>>217755617Robert has been sleeping around with noble maidens, he didn't care. Lyanna being gone was just the excuse.
>>217755183>Reminder that maesters are the shock troops of a-ACK
>>217756837krakens coming you bitch ass maester fucks
>>217755433Aerys executed the Stark father and son duo without any justification. that alone calls for total war
>>217756095Nah, 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.
>>217756020>>trying to kill the entire Targ lineyeah as if westeros isn't full of massive civil wars due to targ children
YOU'LL DO WHAT I COMMAND OR I'LL FIND ME A HAND WHO WILLLORD STARKYOU'LL DO WHAT I COMMAND OR I'LL FIND ME A HAND WHO WILLCAREFUL CAREFUL CAREFUL NED CAREFUL NOW
>>217755433Of course it wasthe targs had it coming for a long time
GO ON, RUN BACK TO WINTERFELLGO ON BOY RUN BOY RUN, THIS WORLD IS NOT MADE FOR YOURUN BOY RUN, THEY'RE TRYING TO CATCH YOURUN BOY RUN! RUNNING IS A VICTORY!RUN BOY RUN! BEAUTY LAYS BEHIND THE HILLS
>>217757191yes lyanna thing was always an excuse. if the schizo king didn't murder the starks, he would still be ruling
so the greens are just objectively in the wrong right?
>>217755433Robert had to be the least power hungry person in the entire ASOIAF. He just wanted to fuck, fight and drinkalso Ned and Robert had no choice. the mad king demanded their heads. So it was certain deaths or almost certain deaths
>>217757315no that would be the blacks>forget the laws of gods and men.. I choose rhaenyra because.. I just choose her okay
>>217756270Robert was put on the throne because the baratheons have targ blood, so it was easier to sell his legitimacy.
>>217757315Only if you watch the show. Book Rhaenyra is much more clearly a tyrant-in-waiting.
>>217756811GIN ALLEYYOU FUCK
>>217757315book rhaenyra is fucking awful, both as a person and as a rulerthe only reason the blacks win is because Daemon is GRRMs favorite character and he cant have his OC lose
>>217757315from the day viserys died yes since the dumb queen cunt coped herself into being wrongevery targaryen is a cunt anyway, evil vile retards, poor dragons are the only victims having to deal with targaryen bullshit all these yearsfuck valyria and fuck targaryens
>"BLACKFYRES could be here" he thought, "I've never been in this region before. There could be BLACKFYRE FUCKING SHITS anywhere."
>>217757063ACK
>>217757402oh shit he looks cool, and a proper mace. Nice. A bit of a dinky one but as a macechad I'll take what I can getflailgods are eating good too this season
>>217757315greens or more specifically the hightowers were basically just the lannisters of their timeAKA ambitious people trying to make a power play to seat their children on the thronethey werent "wrong", they just lost,and they lost everything. allisane was seen as a stupid trifling bitch by westerosi historians and otto was similarly disgraced.
>>217757402me when I'm about to copy a little trick I learned from Daemon Blackfyre (kinslaying)
>>217757394oc means original character, they are all OC what the fucking fuck are you talking about you zoomer fuck?
>>217757413It’s time you face the Dragon.
>>217757437you know what people mean when they say OC.its his deviant art perfect cant lose coldsteel the hedgehog power fantasy character>equal dark and light guys trust me>doesnt do a single good redeeming act in his entire life
Cast him, /tv/.
>>217757413what made Dorne so difficult to conquer
>>217757488
>>217757315The 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.
>>217757474gurms deviant art? I think you may have lost the plot entirely, no don't bother to respond, holy shit, you faggot really have lost it.
>>217757556are you retarded
>>217757422>and they lost everything.what the fuck are you talking aboutthey're the strongest house in the 7 kingdoms in the main timeline
>>217757488Robert Pattinson, unironically.He has the perfect crazy Targaryen look with blonde hair. He deserves to be the OG Targ. He's also British so he doesnt have fake an accent like Tyrion's actor did.
>>217754959Has there ever been a bigger beta male than Bittersteel? >gets cucked>canonically dumb as shit>bastard>no inheritance>starts a rebellion because he's mad about being cucked>loses said rebellion>entire family dies>loses everything>loses another rebellion>loses another rebellion>dies a nobody in middle east>his mercenary company is about to be raped in the main series in a final humiliation
this episode made me want to go out and buy goose eggs
>>217757556how fucking new to the internet are you?
>>217757573i was talking specifically alicent (realized i spelled her name wrong) and her father otto. they lost everything in the aftermath, names dragged thru mud and alicent even gone mad and hated seeing the color green until she died.hightower itself is strong ofc, they literally own oldtown which is like owning massachusetts.
>>217757577Don’t forget he gets captured at one point, is shown mercy and sent to the Wall, only for him to escape en route and start another rebellion.
>>217757602>they literally own oldtown which is like owning massachusetts.more like owning israel
>>217757498plot armor
>>217757498brown people are just superior to whiteoids
>>217757621spaniards are brown now?
>>217757627He looks like he's about to confront a bronze bitch
>>217757577Meanwhile his archnemesis became a literal demigod. Bittersteel was quite literally the biggest KWAB in all of ASOIAF history kek.
>>217757643always
>>217757627>did you ever hear the tragedy of darth magor the cruel?
>>217756147>>217756095he is richer than "a lannister" in terms of pages of accolades in the book of the kingsguard. you'll remember joffrey commenting that dunk had 4 whole pages and jaime didnt even have 1.
>>217757577Draw request Bittersteel wojack crying at Chad Bloodraven and Shiera
>>217757644SHE WAS CUTECUTE
>>217757706wasnt bloodraven the one getting cucked though
>>217755433>Was his rebellion justified?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.
>>217757643there's distinct ethnic groups in dorne like the iberian peninsula
Will he carry S3 too?
>>217757741im not watching it so I dont care
>>217757732not even once. shierra had always loved bloodraven more. bittersteel was literally just a persistent coper about it until he died.
>>217757521too old now and his features aren't regal
>>217757704>you'll remember joffrey commenting that dunk had 4 whole pages and jaime didnt even have 1.Damn Joff spoiling all the GoT spinoffshttps://youtu.be/gBb15PQn-gQ?t=53https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i9EyFwh09U
>>217757761He begged her to marry him and she always rejected himshe was fucking other dudes while bloodraven used his little eyes to spy on themby definition, he was the cuck
>>217755081Sam may have been virtuous but the reason Maester Aemon was so weak and died was that Sam was secretly eating over half of his food rations at the wall daily and watering down his soup/stews.
bloodraven in his lil lovecraftian cuckchair
>>217757627https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGro8Uf9fyc
>>217757741Condal should be executed if he messes up Aegon II’s arc
>>217757741maybe. or maybe someone else will step up. S1 was carried by Viserys.
What happened to Prince Maegor?
>>217757577I 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
we're getting so much armor kino
Just looked it up and the Dunk and Egg books aren’t even finished. Why are they adapting this? Didn’t they learn their lesson?
>>217757848nigga you mean Daemon?
>>217757737There 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?
>>217757886Big Boss

>>217757938plate
>>217757938Chain with scale armor over it. The Tullys had the right idea.
>>217757570>>217757586retards, god I hate you newgfags, can you please just fuck off
Eggbros we can't stop winning
>>217757978I'm a newfag because you don't understand one of the most common and basic references someone could possibly make? Okay anon :^)
>>217756045The wars got so bad that the fucking Iron Islanders got a king that dominated the Riverlands so much that he raped everyone into making him a giant-ass castle called Harrenhall. The 7 Kingdoms were better off under Targaryen rule, lol.
>>217757865Baratheons are the kinoest
very short episode, are the next ones equally long?
>>217757813He already isAegon II gets kidnapped by Rhaenyra's forces in Season 3, and he escapes to Dragonstone on Sunfyre at the endSo no 'who's to know the heart of a dragon', story is completely differentfucking queers
cute and comfy show. why do incels hate it?
>>217758079anyone else kinda attracted to this zestlord?
>>217757934>>217758062>>217758079sovless...
>>217758111I hate having to wait a week for 30 minutes a pop
>>217758111Incels hate everything. The cast is great, Egg and Dunk feel authentic and have a great alchemy. The show is not stupidly gore and violent unlike GOT and HOTD, the armours are kino af. 10/10 so far.
>>217758132I hate him. I can't tell if I hate the character or just the scenes he's been in/thing's he's been made to do. He's a big huge faggotAlso he hasn't laughed at anyone yet. What the fuck? Literally the one character trait he's supposed to have
>>217757704>>217756095That seems correct, but I'm rather annoyed I didn't catch it.
>>217757894>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.
>>217758074yes, they're all about 30 minutes long except episode 1
>>217756842Well? Show off the last bit. I never actually bothered to watch the last few seasons, but I could do with some Meera legs.
The lords daughter in Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is really hot. Disappointing that this is her first role and she doesn’t have an OF.
>>217758179erm why would the Aerys "THE MAD KING" targywargy demand something stupid?!?!we all know those caches of greenfire were for our safety!!
wait did i get it wrong or was dunk supposed to win against a guy in a rigged joust? why even tell him and let the guy losing just sandbag himself?so can he choose who he faces first or isnt that done by the tournament organizers?
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?
>>217757577Essos is actually closer to Europe than the Middle East.
>>217758179>It makes no sense for Aerys>debating the logical decisionmaking skills of an insane man
>>217758218Dunk 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
>>217758055I understand and you do not, hence the problem, you are parroting phrases you don't understand, you fuckwit nufag.
>>217758242ah ok, so they cant just set matches up then
>>217758218when 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
>>217758111I hate Dunk. I don't like tall men getting along with everyone on the force of their 'personality'.
>>217758264>gurms deviant art?This statement literally shows that you have no idea what he's talking about lmfao
>>217757402You call that a weapon?
>>217758269For 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 contextThey 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
>>217758278so chuds hate it because they're jealous manlets?
>>217758282Yes your statement shows how fucking stupid you are retarded nufag,this is your last (you) lurk moar post less.
>>217758307I'm not the one who made that statement, I'm a third party observer
Was there a reason Dunk was so grumpy in the morning at the start?He said nevermind and stopped being an asshole but why was he being a dick in the first place
>>217758320so lurk moar post less you fucking retard
AHEM your attention pleaseSTANNIS STANNIS STANNISThank you for your attention.
>>217758333I've got to tell you, being told to lurk more by someone who doesn't understand a reference that's basically on par with Rick Astley does NOT hit very hard.
>>217758217>>217758240There 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.
>>217758328he was worried about egg, who disappeared with his war horse and sword, he was grumpy because he woke up and for all he knows egg stole his best horse and sword, and if not he still endangered both by going out on his own without asking,
>>217758348>charges his cavalry into the forest
>>217758376>retard is the casting poster
>>217758353I get the darksteel/sonic reference you stupid faggot thats not the point, ffs I really hate you fucking tourists.
>>217755166I can't stop laughing whenever i see incestrous aliens. Topkek.
>>217758410*coldsteelffs sake the point still stands
>>217755943You mean hiro kun. Moot had been dethroned after 2014 because he simped.
Mind yer pride, Ser Anon.
>>217758302Raymun 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.
>>217757488Tom Holland
>>217758393Because the wildlings were a ragtag group of retards and Jon knew they would break the instant they faced a real force
>>217756095He had four pages in kingsguard while jaime had less than one.
>>217758489I wish they showed aerion actually tap on hardying's shield to challenge him
>>217757149Topkek. Twins are poojeets confirmed.
>>217758489>There also isn't a lot of runtimein my world they increase the runtime with more details like thisAlso 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
>>217756070>confirmedsauxes, m'lord?
>>217757865They're utilizing their budget well for armors. Dragon dreams would be on the next episode. That will use up their CGI budget for the entire season.
>>217756095he fucked into knigh-bitch lineage, they were rich, the Tarth folks. probably lost a surname due to marrying high, so Duncan of Tarth
>>217756070Bloodraven possessed the innkeeper
>>217757498They 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.
>>217755575
>>217758530Yeah I'm not sure why they didn't>>217758547I'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.
>>217758740
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.
>>217758149yeah the scenes they put him in are tryhard faggotry it's fucking annoying and not funny
>>217758299wtf.it also looks plastic lmao
>in Dorne everything is spicy>the food is spicy>the wine is spicy>and the bad pousseh, you better believe it, it's spicyI 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.
>>217757402Get pebbled.
>>217759195Go back to Essos you pseudo-Qaarthen ponce.
>>217756070>This was confirmed to be the innkeeper from the first episodesource: my asshole
FLY LITTLE DRAGON FLYYYYYYYY
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?
>>217754928>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? Thinking Hess is crazy
>>217759435While the execution may be lacking it's a fair question to ask when part of their story is written as a chronicle.Also like source criticism 101 that is taught to small children.
>>217759435Maybe it's a good thing Gurm hasn't written Fire and Blood 2, I wouldn't want to see in what ways HBO could shit up The Blackfyre Rebellion under the guise of "it was unreliable narrator!!!!"
>>217759413good bait
>I promise not to talk about politics>1 cup of cider later
>>217759413I'm German and I can understand them just fine. The accents aren't that bad.
>>217759527>both acts and looks like that one guy in every group chatUncanny.
>>217759527
The real inherent flaw of HotD is that they didn't adapt the Mushroom version.
>>217759447I don;t think Aegon IV didn't care Abaut Daeron sice he was doing everything to undermine him. Like he really hated him. >>217759402>one gets stabbed in dorne>the other dies protecting fucking Aegon IV
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.
>>217756045minor 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
>>217755433He was truly a gift sent by the gods to rid the world of the T*rg menace.
>>217759195>literally every single structure considered a "wonder" of Westeros was built by the First Menandal bros.... we've done literally nothing but squat in the great things built by the Norfmen
>>217759623>Never continent wide warsLol did you forget an andal invasion or House Hoare seazind a sizable chunk of the place. Or tne constant warring the starks did against Boltons
>>217759615There 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.
>>217759615>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 tourneyIt wasn't in the source material: there's a betting/joust-rigging subplot in the third novella but not in the first one.
>>217759674>Lol did you forget an andal invasionhappened slowly over thousands of years and other than the Vale the Andals just handed over their daughters to First Man BVLLs to win culturally>House Hoare seazind a sizable chunk of the placea single region>Or tne constant warring the starks did against Boltonsboltons knelt like 4000 years before Targs showed up. And they did it without a fight because Theon Stark was such a gigachad that they wanted his protection against the Andals
>>217759674Not that anon but, I would not use the Andal invasion as an example given how many thousands of years ago it happened and how atypical of a conflict it is. Hoare is a much better example.
>>217756045>the rape of the sisters>the anarchy in the reach>king X conquers all the Stormlands except Storm's end, finds the tables turned on him by the next generation of Durrandons.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.
>>217759733>a single regionAnd the crownlands up to the blackwater. And Bear island to use as a base for pillaging the western coast of the North.So all in all a little bit more than "a single region".
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
>>217759833>And Bear island to use as a base for pillaging the western coast of the NorthIronborn 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
>>217759873the true Chud position is being Empire of the Dawn/Ancient First Men pilled. Valyrians were fucking sheep when the Bran the Builder was making Storm's End, the Hightower, Winterfell, and the Wall
>>217754928New thread:>>217760015
>>217759688What's dishonorable about this?
>>217759925TRVKE. Targs are the cast offs of the cast offs of the Dawnmen. Not even Valyria matched Asshai at it's height
>>217759902>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 upYour 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.
