So you mean to tell me that if Dunk had simply killed Aerion he could have demanded a trail by combat, killed Maekar, and gotten away with everything?
>>217852032GROWING STRONG NIGGAAA
>You can’t just blame bloodraven for everything
>>217851979>>217852057very mid reds fellas
>>217852065Not exactly because they would've just selected an uber warrior to kill Duncan. He wouldn't stand a chance.
>>217852075Who is second from the right and how is he supposed to have died?
>>217852065Dunk is very young and inexperienced at this point, I'm not certain he could beat Maekar. Also not certain that Maekar wouldn't just have him killed on the spot with no chance for a trial if he killed Aerion.

>>217852017Generic whore
>>217852090aerys I, some say sickness, some say poisoned though sickness
>>217852065If he killed Aerion they would send one the kingsguard to kill him and Baelor wouldn't try to intervene, cant get away with killing a prince and killing him would be extreme. Dunk is big but hes not trained or experienced he cannot beat a kingsguard 1v1
>>217851968what would you think or feel if:>next book come out>jon snow isn't resurrected
Why didn't Aerion just pick a champion from the Kingsguard?
Cute and canon!
>>217852134Because his Dad would call him a pussy if he did
>>217852124Expectations: subverted
>>217852144But everyone already agrees that he's a pussy.
>>217852134Because he wanted to win by default, people are still hesitant over Dunc because he's supposed to be Gregor levels of massive
>>217852057Red.
>>217852174No he’s a fair bit smaller than gregor
>>217852184red
Is this true, lorefags?
>>217852193Red.
>>217852206I want to lick her butthole.
>>217852206red
>>217852188>Gregor is well known for his size, cruelty, and prowess in battle. He is extremely tall, being well over seven feet tall, closer to eight.[11] >Duncan was an inch shy of seven feet tall.[1][3]huh, didn't realise just how yuge Gregor is supposed to be
>>217852217Also red.
>some dude has a dispute with his neighbor over water rights during a droughthow are they going to make the second novella actually watchable?
>>217852244Hopefully by faithfully adapting it
>>217852244>he doesn't knowIt's a Blackfyre scheme, just put Bloodraven to deal with them in the background, like George failed to do
>>217852206Built for gentle eskimo kisses
>>217852124thats cope he was really good especially in the last 2 dogshit(tm) seasons
lolhttps://x.com/killbiill/status/2020276840959733839
>*farts*XD
>>217851968guys like that never live long
So is Steffon supposed to be the Fossoway heir? What lordship is he getting exactly, he'd be due to inherit anyway in his own time. Is Aerion or Maeker just giving him one of their holdings and titles? Is that allowed?
>>217852270I think the quality of the show just dropped to the level of his acting and therefore he looked better in comparison by at least remaining consistent.
>>217852244by making it as accurate as possible, great story
>>217852017that girl from 2nd D&E book with the spider sigil that goes on to marry a lannister
>>217852290Funnier still that Parker has made numerous unforced errors
I'm not sure what to play given all this hype: Bannerlords, Kingdom Come 1 or Manor Lords t-t
>>217852370yeah but so did dan and dabid in season 1
>>217852371KC really makes you feel like an irrelevant peasant rising above your station
>>217852371is there any game that actually allows you to joust? I don't think their is
>>217852396So be it, thenI just hope the retarded saving mechanic doesn't fuck things up too much for me
>>217852385Oh of course, although I will give them the concession that it was a harder task for them as they didn't know what was supposed to be as important in the story due to its unfinished nature. And honestly HotD had the hardest job of adapting an in universe biased history book into an actual functioning traditional story although that doesn't excuse them of the fact they then decided to absolutely fucking shit the bed.Shame that Bloodmoon and the GoT pilot are likely never being released.
>>217852401You can half do that in Bannerlord. I was playing a few months ago as a mercenary sellsword king and I got myself into all sorts of mounted battles
>>217852193i dont think anyone can best her, 11/10 redhead witch
>>217852418hmm maybe I'll give it a go
>>217852403just mod it or enable saves through console
Where did dragons actually come from in this series? >Valryia Yes but like they just live there originally?
>>217852424hmm
>>217851968
>>217852433>enable saves through consoleNice. Thanks, anon
>Who will stand and fight with me?>*farts loudly*based or cringed? He had to have been saving it up for some time.
Do you think, 10 years from now, we will see Summerhall?
>>217852503It seems like they want this to be a pretty long show. George or whoever mentioned one season per year.
>>217852473Cringed, but it didn't kill the mood completely because Duncan saved it by asking the big question and then Breakspear completely redeemed it by making his entranceIt was a dogshit thing to do, though
>>217852470KEK unironically Baelor was the last chance the Targs had to rebound
so is lady gwen going to get more screentime with actual dialogue or just 2 seconds shots focused on her face?
>>217852503I kinda hope they just say fuck it and redo the whole original show and say this is canon and maybe HOTD if it’s more canon than not
>>217852503I very much doubt that.
>>217852503We're getting 3 seasons
>>217852528I want to know what random little girl sitting on the tavern stairs in episode 1 feels about recent events.
>>217852454Why did Joffrey know so much about the Targaryen history?
>>217852473makes sense diegetically, just wish it wasn't a fart
>>217852555He obviously paid attention to his "classes".
>>217852555He’s highborn so he’s educated. He also probably respected the Targs to some degree given his nature.
>>217851968>dunkwhat show is this and do I need to watch hotd season 2 for it?
>>217852555he remembered the fucked up stuff because he thought it was cool
>>217852503No, one season every 10 years to keep up with the actors' aging and the pace of the story.
>>217852582>given his nature.Of being the noblest child the gods ever put on that good Earth? Must I remember you /tv/ is a Joffrey board
>>217852555>Targ gets murdered in the most horrific wayYep that sounds like what Joffrey would remember or at least would read/ask the maesters about
How would a wild west gunslinger fare while traveling Westeros and taking up jobs usually reserved for knights?
>>217852597very good untill he is out of ammo.
is it true they cas Lucy Boynton as Rohanne Webber?
>>217852597Dead the moment he doesn't crouch to avoid an arrow in his fucking neck
>>217852619I thought they cast Zendeya
>>217852619Yes. Are you happy?
Wheres the f/got/ who keeps posting Eustace Osprey?
>>217852435that's where dragon technology was developed but pretty sure they also exist in other parts of the world
I wonder if GoT hadn't come out in 2011 if Dance would have even been released.
>>217852792yes in fact the series would be done by now
I find it a bit unlikely that several people would instantly be willing to go into a fight to death against the kingsguard for some random maybe-knight they've just met.
>>217853024gj anon you got the point
>>217852537>>217852544>>217852562>>217852588High art
>Daenerys is bad and going to go mad because..>she's white and doesn't subscribe to moral and cultural relativismYou will now attempt to defend this distillation of a disconcertingly often repeated criticism of Daenerys without outing yourself as a pajeet seething about di white debil colonizers abolishing your walahoo caste system. 1..2..3- GO
>>217853024a guy with a personal grudge against aerion joined by his best friend, a guy with a personal grudge against his cousin and a more general grudge against targs, a guy whos whole thing is being the embodiment of the warrior, a guy who just really really likes to fight and is a friend of dunk. It really isn't that unlikely they all want a crack at some targ fucking shits
>>217852435The Empire of the Dawn first had dragons. They probably created them. At some point the empire collapsed though. Much later the Valyrians either found dragons or recreated them. And they also figured out how to control them. First with dragon horns and later by bonding them by blood to their dragon rider family clans. They specialized in creating chimeras via magic, so it's possible dragons were (re)created by creating a chimera of different animals. A popular theory is that dragons were created by mixing Wyverns with Firewyrms and maybe some human DNA as well. Wyverns are regular non-magical animals like winged flying dinosaurs. They live in Sothoryos and some parts of Essos.Firewyrms live in tunnels near volcanoes and appear to be magical. They have an extremely high body temperature, just like dragons. We also see some Firewyrm-Human hybrids at one point in Fire and Blood. It's possible Firewyrms are the starting point of the Valyrian hybridization magic tech and that's why they settled on top of volcanoes.
>>217853080Nigga the great empire of the dawn isn't real.
bastid
>>217852471>>217852433thanksI stopped placing KC2 because I'm an elderly 35 year old gamer and I don't have time go gather fucking herbs and making "save the game potions"what the fuck were they thinking
>>217853024It’s not only the first trial of 7 in over a century but an opportunity to fight several Targ princes. It’s literally the prime event of the tourney. You have a chance to etch your name in history and if you come out on top you will have plentiful opportunity.
>>217853091Is this another weird Preston theory?
cant believe they showed Baelor getting merked in the trailer
>>217853024they're allowed to yield
>>217852244Ideally? You could have Blackfyre Rebellion flashbacks to go along with Osgrey's explanation of why he chose Daemon and doomed his house for a doomed cause.But they obviously won't do that cause they're doing this show on a shoestring budget in comparison with the other shows and won't show any big battles with lots of cgi so they'll probably just do 4 or 5 30min episodes with a bit of filler dialogue which fingers crossed is as good as Raymuns incestuous tyrants rant.
>>217853152I don't remember the episode where this was said.
>>217853114>denying the existence of the retarded fan theory spawned from the addled minds of video essayists based entirely on an oral legend in found in a throwaway sidebar in a world book full of assorted fluff and references to carcossa is a weird preston theoryHearty kek. What 500 years between books does to a community's grasp on reality.
>>217853169what do you think the entire thing with Daeron coming to Dunk is abouthe was there to tell him he'll yield after the first tilt
>>217853061trvkedany did nothing wrong, all the hate toward her is anti-white racism and fangirl of other character (often sansafag) seething of her success
>>217853024Women wouldn't understand.There isn't one guy in this whole thread who doesn't understand the concept of going out with the boys to beat the shit out of some people who are attacking your friends and neighbors.
>>217853061shes a targfuckingshitaegon will save us with his superior blackfyre genes
Did someone say.....TARG SHITS???!!!
>>217853062>a guy with a personal grudge against aerion joined by his best friendBrother in law actually, so even more plausible.
HotD is so mogged by Simon Vance. Just listen to the two/three audiobook chapters, pure kino
>>217853188The legends might just be legends, but it's irrational to assume there wasn't a precursor empire to Yi-Ti. Someone must have built Asshai and the Five Forts.
>>217853024This is why Aerion wanted it to be a trial of the Seven. He thought Dunk would at best gather some third-rate hedge knights that would get slaughtered by him and the Kingsguard, if he even gathered anyone at all.Turns out he forgot he's such a fucking asshole so there were quite a few people around with a bone to pick with him.
we keep seeing flashes of dunk in fleabottom in trailers and shit but they never show it in episodeswhat the fuck is that?
https://voca.ro/17SPVGXgo5GZ
>>217853274The ayyy lmaos, it's a science fiction setting after all.
>>217853247right of course, been a while since I've read it
>>217853276Like he removing that horseshoe, yeah. Two episodes to go yet, though.
If you were a smaller house like Fossoway or Beesbury, what animal/object would you pick as your sigil and constantly make puns about?
>>217853276I assume there is gonna be a longer flashback sequence at some point in the next episode. He does win the duel by resorting to the brute brawling of his youth in Fleabottom. So they might show that to us at some point before or during the duel.
>>217853308>House Forkfolk>grey fork over a white background>It’s Tine To Die>”Looks like we really forked up this one lads”
>>217853274it's irrational to assume there wasn't a precursor empire to Yi-Ti>therefore there was a globe-spanning empire of dragonriders who are responsible for every ancient site and given rise to every form of magicDiffusionists, shaking my head.>someone must have built Asshai and the five fortsGreasy black stone =/= fused black stone.
>>217853308
>>217851968>heir joins the fight>people are still actually serious about itare they mad?
>>217853354The Targs were making a move. They had to get it on.
Will we get Blackfyre flashbacks next season?
>>217853134That's actually Baelor whacking Maekar, the helmet gives it away, it's Valarr's.
>>217851979If the season doesn't end with Red giving Dunk a blowie (free of charge of course) then showrunners really dropped the ball. They have to explain why Dunk has an affinity for reheads.
Baelor reminds me of king Baldwin
>>217853354Trial of Seven is serious shit.
>>217853391Isn't Dunk an incel
>>217853276in the teaser for next ep they showed the flashback to flea bottom, so next ep
>>217853429Far from it. A dude that tall, big fucking sword in hand and with a jaw like that, he would be swimming in pussy in no time
>>217853372this show loves flashbacks so yeah, it's also the book with the most about the blackfyre rebellion, i want a whole show but i'll take flashbacks i guess
>>217853429I believe ser arlan took him to a whore house when he was like 15 or so
It pisses me off that Baelor let any of this happen.When good men refuse to use power they are simply handing that power over to evil.
>>217853444Yeah but he's also a spergI think it's a plot point he jobs his every attempt at having sex by saying stupid shit
>>217853391I can see them writing her as the ironic embodiment of the maiden that gives Dunk a kiss in the cheek before the trial.
>>217853456That's the unrealistic part, that such a thing would actually hamper a good looking dude like him from having sex. Any bored whore would find him at least entertaining and probably wouldn't mind teasing him and closing the deal. Can't believe it's going to take so long for him to see any action, but alas
daemon getting riddled with arrows will be played like a comedic gagjust like a fart
>>217853508as it should be blackfyre fucking shits
>>217853340Legends from Asshai say dragons were first created there and Valyrian dragon taming came later.
>>217853456It's been awhile since I've read the books but didn't the second one imply that he fucked Rohanne before she decided to marry old man Osgrey?
>>217853508>my lord, we are in an open field, we best find cover>their archers can reach us from here
>>217853455Baelor had to be fair to his family and let them have their trial. He doesn’t want to abuse his authority like past kings and he already dealt with one targ civil war he doesn’t want another to brew. And he also wants the smallfolk to see that house Targaryen cares about them
>>217853308PigConstant references to making people squeal, never say walking only trotting, anything and everything likened to pig anatomy "the king's plan is as twisted as a pig's tail" "you're as kind as pork belly"I win fame and glory in the war by tricking enemies into thinking they're attacking us during a feast, they come into our orchard expecting to find as at the banquet table, but instead we are all at arms, waiting. They thought it was a feast among the leaves butit was a hambush
>>217853508Based Daemon
>>217853532Baelor isn't king so therefore couldn't do anything, Maeker and Aerion would drag Dunc to Daeron to seek justice, or simply murder him.
>>217853532I don't care how you try to justify it.He's letting evil people do evil things when he has the power to stop it. Instead he's using his power to help evil people and endanger good people.
>>217853565>He's letting evil people do evil things when he has the power to stop it. Instead he's using his power to help evil people and endanger good people.what's it like being ten, anon?
Dunc and Egg is leagues better than HOTD and possibly even GOT
>>217853538doors over their you can let yourself out
>>217853530Nah it’ll be more like>your grace, your duel was well fought but we must retreat, your brother Brynden is lining his archers and we are in an open field>that would be dishonorable >*looks at the camera and smiles
>>217853526Yes.
>>217853584>no argument
>>217853587That still remains to be seen
It's over for edgetards.
sex with Raymun Fossoway
>>217853565those are not evil people they are his brother and his nephew
>>217853629CAUSE IM HEDGE KNIGHT YES I AM
>>217853629White men are so back thanks trump (for making the good ones look even better)
>>217853639Do you think Aerion gives a single shit about honor, traditions, or knightly virtue?
>>217853455A regular trial by combat would have been a good solution though. Either Dunk dies and the problem is solved or Aerion dies and the realm is rid of a psycho prince. The trial of the seven was a complication he did not foresee, but that point he could hardly back out of it since he already argued for a trial by combat.
>>217853673He may be an unhinged cowardy brat but he’s not a straight up psychopath like Joffrey
>I didn’t mean to kill my big bro even though I clubbed him in the fucking head with a mace and he’s the only one wearing black fucking armor. Why would the 7 Gods, Sir Dugan The Tall, The Red Comet, do this?
>>217852244by turning the spider woman into my femdom fantasy
>>217851968step down for the realm indeed
>>217853729That was the plan till Aerion opened his mouth. He probably knew his dad and uncle wanted him dead
>>217852244>how are they going to make the second novella actually watchable?30 minutes dedicated to Rohanne ball torturing Dunk
>>217853094You can also just Save & Quit. Reloading that save takes just a few seconds and the game doesn’t delete it. I think I brewed only like twenty save potions for all my 180 hours of playtime.
>>217853765Shouldn't he look more masculine or something? In my head Maekar looks like Michael Ironside.
>>217853729Aerion doesn't need to die though, he can nominate a champion who even if they die and lose the trial wouldn't lead to the execution of Aerion, just the acquittal of Dunc.
>best television since season 5 of GoT>30 minute episodes>6 in totalpain
>even though I fought an entire war OF RED AND BLACK KNIGHTS >I didn’t mean to hit my bro on the head >why did destiny do this?
>>217853805All of those solutions would be beneficial for Baelor. Except for Aerion selecting a champion maybe, but that would also embarrass and humble Aerion, so it was unlikely to happen.
>>217853805why do you keep saying this? its very obvious why aerion wouldn't pick a champion, he's a knight a prince and prances around like he's a great warrior, he would be called aerion the craven for the rest of his life
>>217853825It's as likely to happen as not happen. Aerion is a bully shown to lash out at targets that can't defend themselves or in ways that can't defended against. So he could very likely say something like "the dragon doesn't lower itself to fight mice" and get a KG to shank Dunc
>>217852065>>217852084>>217852100>>217852119iirc he never gets any epic moment fighting scenes in any of the released books, he always gets his ass whooped due to chance and injuries, all the epic shit he did like trial by combat with the baratheon guy or where he kills a bandit leader or something in the future were all off-screen.
>>217853822baelor is wearing his sons helm, it didn't fit quite right, the irony is palpable
Holy shit who has the meme about Daemon Blackfyre being the trump of westeros
>>217853866>mfw his own father will banish his ass
>>217853822that’s a girls name
>>217852244>blackfyre rebellion/battle of the redgrass field flashbacks>actually showing dunk and egg going out recruiting the townsfolk to fight for osgrey>comedic training montage of all the townsfolk trying to learn to fight>sex scene with rohannethere's a lot they could do
>>217852009Who thinks Daeron is good? Maybe the maesters
>>217853881KEK
>>217852009Aegon the first should be the only S tier one. His family isn’t worthy because of fucking stupid they acted for no reason
>>217852009>Daeron IGood joke. He ultimately accomplished nothing except getting a bunch of his soldiers killed and then dying like a bitch.
>>217853925Aegon wasn’t that outstanding in his governance
>>217852217Sexy >>217852193Hot>>217852206CuteAny questions
>>217853748Maekar absolutely did it on purpose. Valarr was sterile, Aerys might as well have been and Rhaegel and Aelor's deaths were extremely suspicious.

How hard will they go with the smashed in head?Will half of his brain fall out?
>>217852371I'm playing CK3 with the Voices of the Realm AI mod which allows me to actually speak with characters and thus larp as a lord, I haven't had so much fun in a long while
>>217853881Blackfyre chuds are real
If the Tarags are “evil incest aliens” imagine how bad the other dragon lords were.
>>217853943>is rating red>forgot red herselfShameful
>>217853975Targs were the niggers of the dragonlord families - GRRM (or Michael Jordan)
>>217852435Nowhere, unless you want to hear my fan theory about the magic aspect in the planet, like how the orbit of the planet comes into proximity with a dimensional shroud from time to time, that's why magic in the planet is periodical, dragons and magic coming back in GoT meant that the planet is near the dimensional shroud again.
Is itMjeeeeekarOrMikar?
>>217853024You wouldn't get it because you are not a true knight
If you had to pick between Targaryens and Blackfyres who would you pick?
Anyone else enjoy Maekar’s actor’s brooding portrayal?
>>217854003This dude has the best annoyed expressions. He's so done with all of this this.
>>217854008Blackfyres are literally Targaryens. Source: Aegon IV.
>>217854008Blackfyres, without Baelor the Targ line is cooked anyways besides i don’t want Rhaegar to be born
>>217853994I bet Valaryia was probably the prettiest thing in this whole universe before the volcanos went off by its slaves in rebellion probably. They probably would have conquered and enslaved Westeros
>>217852619It's a tragedy that she keeps bleaching her hair, I didn't even know she had natural auburn hair until I saw a show with her as a kid.
>>217853863>>217853866You're dealing with a arrogant bully, there is zero guarantee that he wouldn't
>>217854008Targs obviously. Blackfyres are just shittier Targs who made themselves indebted to and married foreigners. There is zero benefit in supporting them.
could they have saved baelor if he kept the helmet on until a maester was there to act immediately?
>>217853881Except there isn't a book around the Blackfyre rebellion
so is the fat fuck ever going to finish TWOW or what?
>>217854008He had a cool sword and an 8 pack
>>217854003i thought it's pronounced "MY car" at least that's how i remember maester aemon pronouncing it in GOThearing it pronounced as "mee-cur" in AKOTSK was so weird
>>217853933He was also pretty autistic. Didn’t like talking to people, wasn’t into partying, only had one friend (Orys), didn’t enjoy fighting or tourneys, didn’t believe in gods, and didn’t even like sex for most part. I like how the records all agree that he was a weirdo.
>>217854008Blackfyres because I'm a contrarian asshole
baelor dying will suck so much assalways the good ones
>>217854056Probably not. His skull was shattered. He might have survived a few more days before dying if the maester knows his trade. But there was no way to fix that kind of injury.
>>217853994mj would never say that
>>217854063Yeah, some twists, an outline and ideas of the motivations and sibling dynamics at best
>>217854056he was starting to feel woozy and light-headed even while the helmet was still firmly in place and untampered with. he never had a chance after the mace hit connected
>>217854008Targs by a country mile and I’m not even a Targ fan. Blackfyre fucking shits are just Targs without the sense of responsibility, long term thinking, or ability to govern.
>>217854073It’s even contested that he was ever really a good warrior. Didn’t even train Maegor himself
>>217854008Fossoway levels of Valyrian racism
>>217854008Blackfyre sounds cool
>causes more wars than any house in this series
>>217854008Neither, Team Bloodraven
>>217852244>how will they make this amazing thing “good”By casting the right actors for the role. These novellas have an incredible amount of subtext and depth for what they are, the show just has to use it. Whoever is going to play Osgrey will have their work cut out for them, it’s a great character but if you don’t feel for the guy it’ll be easy to lose interest.
>>217854008I can't think of any other dynasty that goes 0-4 and still has supporters.
>>217854014yeah i imagined him a lot more gruff and angry in the books, but the actor does a good job of selling his perpetual frustrated annoyance at everything his family does without making him unlikable. his>you little shitfaces he shoots at aerion are great.
>>217854008I’m a sucker for the idealistic in over his head ambitious but good hearted fighter tragically losing after going against the odds, so I’m with Daemon Blackfyre
>>217854129The Blackwoods were clearly the instigators in this specific instance
>>217854008they tried to arrest daemon for no fucking reason
>>217853024They fell for the honor meme
>>217854140Soon to be 0-5 in the main series, mind youAnd I will still raise the Blackfyre flagBeneath the gold, the bitter steel
>>217854101He was already having trouble talking, too. Dude had a shattered skull and brain damage; at that point any motion would have just finished the job.
>>217854056Yes. See that episode of Rome where they do open brain surgery on Pullo.
>>217854081Ffs mate, why the fuck are you dropping spoilers in here?
>>217853024>fight to death against the kingsguard for some random maybe-knight they've just met.Well, here's my "excuse", but I do grant you are on top of such suspension of disbelief1. Lyonel actually has the strength of his house behind his back, so he can getaway with some stuff2. Rhysling is a lunatic3. Hardyng is hellbent on revenge against Aerion4. Duncan is of course trying to survive5. Breakspear is BreakspearThe only two who are maybe stupid or crazy in some way we don't know are Raymun (has a whole fucking lot to lose) and Beesbury, but if you take into account that people actually believe in the works of the Gods and whatnot, and of course the legitimacy of the Trial of Seven, then it kinds of makes sense.
>>217853024>it’s unlikely these people wouldn’t jump at the chance to crack some targ skullsDid you miss the entire subplot about rebellion and the targs right to rule?
>>217854140it's not about winning or losing anon
Dunks dreamteam right here
>>217853455Targshits still believe they're above everyone else even when they LARP as being noble about it
>>217854210beesbury is related to hardyng isn't he?
>>217854250in laws
>>217854250I think the guy who got fucked up by Aerion is his brother in law
>>217854250they also rode against each other I believe broke like 14 lances before hardyng won, so yes brothers in law and respect each others prowess
I hate egg annoying shit.
>>217854277t. Aerion
>>217853308Imagine being stuck with a shitty sigil like house Hardyng just having red and white diamonds or the Peakes showing off their three castles, and missing on spending centuries of furgattory larping..
>>217853024it isn't an accident that the story is set specifically in the time period when the Targs are on the decline. they have fostered a lot of resentment from the populace because of their quirks and because they keep sacrificing people in their retarded wars due to awful succession rules. they have no more dragons to frighten the lords and smallfolk into submission, and are being faced with more and more defiance especially what maniacs like Aerion are out of line. this is a time in Westeros history when people are far more comfortable to take up opportunities to act against the Targs especially the people who have an axe to grind against themsome of the knights are also gloryseekers, that is why they came to Ashford for the tourney. except a Trial of the Seven involving half the Targaryen royal family will net far more glory and fame for everyone involved than any tourney ever could
Imagine having a brother in law you like so much you are willing to put your life on the line to help them get revenge
>>217854227>picwhat a hearty kek
ITS THE BRUTE OF BRACKEN
>>217854307i love my brother in law
>>217854321more like the brute of brapping
>>217854307you don't get along with your brother in law? I would put my life on the line for him and him for me any day
>>217854321Brap of Bracken
>>217854113He did slice some ironniggers in half but then again so does all of Westeros whenever they don't raid undefended port towns
>>217854337Not enough to fight 7 trained killers to the death
>>217854140The Buffalo Bills?
>>217854151A case could be made that Ser Aeron fucked up by initially denying the boundary stones having been moved (they were) when first accused, plus erred in having moved them without the Blackwoods present to ensure the ruling of the assize from Riverrun was followed exactly. The stones should absolutely have been moved, as per the assize, but the procedure really should have involved both Houses, not been a partisan operation done out of oversight. I surmise thoughtless methods, regardless of legalities, trigger a sizeable chunk of Blackwood/Bracken spergouts, right along with disagreements over which side of the bread should be buttered, Rei vs Asuka shitposting, and whether or not tomatoes belong in fruit salad.
>>217854371has honor deserted the noble shitposters of /tv/?
>>217854365He was probably Ned Stark tier at best, if anything Visenya seemed to be the better warrior
i really like the show so far but i can't lie, getting rid of this: >The viewing stand had already begun to fill, the lords and ladies clutching their cloaks tight about them against the morning chill. Smallfolk were drifting toward the field as well, and hundreds of them already stood along the fence.>'So many come to see me die', thought Dunk bitterly, but he wronged them. A few steps farther on, a woman called out, “Good fortune to you.” An old man stepped up to take his hand and said, “May the gods give you strength, ser.” Then a begging brother in a tattered brown robe said a blessing on his sword, and a maid kissed his cheek.>'They are for me.'>“Why?” he asked Pate. “What am I to them?”>“A knight who remembered his vows,” the smith said.is a serious blow to my estimation of the show. this moment is arguably the soul of the first story and removing it is bizarre, and it is bizarre that a showrunner who seems to understand the appeal of D&E doesn't seem to understand the importance of this momentand yeah some might say this moment might be moved sometime later in the story but it won't hit nearly as hard if the timing is completely missed
>>217854210Lyonel is borderline insane in first place, he's called Laughing Storm because he laughs while fighting, he clearly enjoys combat and I think his reasoning of "first trial of the seven in hundreds of years can't miss this shit" is genuine. He's just there to have great time while risking his life.Raymun is young and impressionable and generally very into the whole idea of knighthood, but most importantly he hates his cousin and, in a way, he's saving his family's name after Steffon's betrayal.Beesbury is the most normal guy there but he's apparently one of favourites during the tourney and presumably liked his Hardyng brother from another mother enough to help out.
>>217854371He is also a trained killer, every single lord there was raised to wage warSome straight up did in the blackfyre rebellion
>>217854111>Blackfyre fucking shits are just Targs without the sense of responsibility, long term thinking, or ability to govern.How are they different from regular Targaryens than?
>>217854385>stands up amongst anons>*dramatic music>(auto)posting in 3 seconds>2>1>Mario Naharis
>>217853024I think the problem is that we don't really know some of them. We know Lyonel, Baelor, and Raymun Fossoway's motivations so it's believable. The others are strangers and their reasoning is harder to gauge, therefore lesse believable. That's something the novella can get away with, but it's harder for the show to get away with.
>>217854413>Lyonel is borderline insane in first place, he's called Laughing Storm because he laughs while fightingI love him
>>217854429kek
>>217854429lmao
>>217854371you don't know my brother in law, or me
>>217854446>>217854413I like the actor but they should have cast someone biggerJust like with Renly, they keep twinkifying baratheon chads
>>217854210>suspension of disbeliefNone required, the story (and the adaption esp) did well here to set up the trial and each characters motivations, to the point if you think it through they’re all making in-character completely rational decisions. These men are the type to volunteer to joust. To travel around to tourneys and get beat to hell in a time when broken bones could leave you a lifelong cripple. They’re like modern day boxers or mma fighters. Add to the fact this is a literal once-in-a-century thing, and a religious act at the same time. Beating the fuck out of eachother is a religious experience for Andal cultures, and these guys are the apex of that belief system. >Baelor and LyonelThere’s also a massive amount of subtext about rebellion and the targs right to rule. The D&E stories harp on this theme constantly. The show makes the dissent among the populace extremely obvious with stuff like the “incestuous aliens” speech. Imagine a scenario where a mad targ prince is effectively torturing people then getting away with it in a sham trial where the kingsguard slay a bunch of knights and lords of Westeros. Practically unthinkable the targs would allow that to happen optically. So of course Lyonel was going to fight because he knows he’s practically safe. And of course Baelor is going to fight because he can’t let that bad optic scenario play out (and he rightfully believes he should be safe). Really, the most unbelievable thing that happens is Maekar allowing his shitbird son to put them in that situation in the first place.
>>217854307The saddest part is both Humfreys do die for Dunk in the trial. Hardyng rode out with a leg with multiple fractures and got fucked, dying from wounds later and Beesbury dies in first tilt from Donnel of Duskendale.
If the Trial of the Seven didn't happen Egg never would have become king. Dunk is playing 24D chess.
>>217854521We've seen 5 Baratheon men, only Robert in the past tense is described as being a gymbro gigachad. Baratheons are not a House of Hulks.
>>217854637That's a very long stretch by any logic
>>217854637Dunk the Lunk, sharper than valyrian steel.
>>217854669Lyonel is supposed to be almost as tall as Dunk.
>>217854711And bulkier iirc
>>217854669Renly is described as a gymbro gigachad equal to young Robert in the booksHe aslo has a different personality completely, he storms out of the tent laughing when he hears Arya disarmed Joffrey which makes Robert facepalmAnd Lyonel "the laughing storm" Baratheon is picrel in the graphic novel and is known to be a battle freak
>>217854637Bloodraven knew this
>>217854740that helmet is retarded. He can't even swing his weapon without worrying about his arm getting caught in his antlers.
Lyonel was described as a swaggering giant of a man, definitely not the best casting but he’s still a good character
Dunk's getting a kiss from Red next episode
>>217854740>out of the tent laughing when he hears Arya disarmed Joffrey which makes Robert facepalmAnd he keeps laughing, for everyone to hear, after Robert asks him to leave the premises
>>217854760Yeah but it looks dope and you can bet the psychological effect on the opponent is a bigger benefit then the mobility downside
>>217854751Based Brynden keeping an eye out for Dunc and Egg
>>217854751kek
>>217854806It makes no sense for that to be himI mean actually it makes a little bit, but just that
Why are there no more men like him in these shows anymore
>>217854777He's also supposed to be in his late twenties to early thirties.Not a fucking greybeard.
>>217854841I don't like this meme because I'm in it and not as the gigachad
>>217854859got blue hair?
>>217854856Bloodraven was known to be a fleshy middle aged woman once you stripped away all the glamours.Many people were saying this at the time.
>>217854904Nope ...
>>217854040
>>217854859you still have hair so you can make it
>>217854056AND HOW is a maester going to fix that? Glue and tape??>>217854198How is a maester going to fix a caved in skull?
>>217854820Might not make much sense but I choose to believe it's him, when Dunc asks glamoured Brynden who he is he tells him he's a friend who's been watching them. For me, him watching over them and also knowing what will happen to them in the end adds to the mystery of the prophecy and twists his possible motivations.
>>217854820>I mean actually it makes a little bitAnon... that's how it begins.... then you go down the rabbit hole...
>>217854936NTA but, Baelor Breakspear -> Baelor Stuckhelm
>>217854963>>217854806Bloodraven did become the 3EC but did he have seer-abilities that early?
>>217854994>he doesn't realize Maynard plumm wasnt a blood raven spy, he was bloodraven>he doesn't realize Dunk is a blackwood bastard, and related to bloodraven
>>217852075who is the tall ginger in the middle?

>>217854778>letting a whore kiss youThat's like rule 1

>>217855220A whore will suck Aerion's cock one minute and kiss Dunk on the cheek the other. Duality of a woman, am I right
>>217855220I'm a hopeless romantic
>>217855211>>217855231thank you! I was only thinking of targshit/targshit bastards so he didn't come to mind. makes sense though
>>217854994Him and Shiera were doing all kinds of blood magick so it's possible along with the prophetic dreams like the ones Daeron has. But I think it's just supposed to keep us guessing, they'll probably do a another tease next season before he appears in season 3.>>217855075Fireball, their weapons teacher. Fatass Aegon IV promised him the next spot on the Kingsguard but died before a spot opened up and when it finally did he was passed over by Baelor and Maekar's father. He got pissed off and rumors say he along with Aegor(the gold skull one) helped convince Daemon(the kid with the sword) to rebel against the king(Aegor and Daemon's half brother).The arrow in the head is cause he got sniped during the redgrass field battle at the end of the rebellion, Brynden(the caped kid) also shot Daemon full of arrows before Aegor grabbed the sword and charged at him and took one of his eyes(hence the tree coming out of one of them).
>>217855244Anon, it's early. Wait for page 8 or 9 next time
