First for the Battle for the Dawn
Any reasonable person would have concluded that any bodies in the Winterfell crypts would be too far decomposed to matter if they were resurrected
sex with baelor and maekar… at the same time
>>217888376you see the skellies can punch though stone
>>217888388Does he make that face when their eyes meet over your back?
Test
15 fucking years since he diedAnd here we are, still quoting him, following his steps, ants in his wake

>>217888353I shall splinter shield and lance to win Lady Gwin Ashford's hand.
>>217888457Why did the town crier pronounce his fucking name like thatWhere does the extra r even come from
ngl 10 minutes of flashback next episode sounds like a real momentum killer
>>217888474I feel like it was a joke done on purpose like no one knows/cares who the fuck this guy is so he pronounced it wrong, but it's a weird choice to throw at normies when the names in these shows are already confusing enough for themAlso it could just be that he pronounced it weird and they went with it? genuinely not sure
I hate targshits as much as the next guy but I have to admit that it's pretty based how they beat everyone into thinking incest was okay for them and only them.
>>217888422House Baratheon restored by Bobby B's son, Gendry who finally fucked that Stark pussy House Targaryen destroyed itself and Jon's exiled to a life of frozen hellBobby B's legacy won in the end Gendry just has to marry Sansa to truly rub it in more but we all know that once Bran bites it, Gendry's descendants are going to be elected and rule from King's Landing again
I WANT TO SEE DAEMON II BEING BRED BY DUNCAN
>>217888557>once Bran bites itisn't he basically immortal? or does he have to climb into a tree for that
>Duncan shitting: not in the book>Arlan pissing: not in the book>Knight farting: not in the bookthe farting and shidding agenda
>>217888610not my gentle son
>>217888678>>217888678>everything from the books - good>every "comedic" "joke" created by the show - bad
>>217888702See, you understand.
>>217888678every instance of piss, shit, farting spit and vomit is a showrunner invention
>>217888708yet grrm was ok with it
>>217888353I've just re-read The Sworn Sword and I think that Dunk is a fucking raging retard for not taking the Red Widow's hand after learning that Ser Useless is a traitor AND a halfwit.
>>217888702Yes
They should have made Ned shit himself when they chopped his head off just for max humiliation of that total idiot. Arya would wander around the riverlands for three books being like>Yoren stopped me from seeing it but he couldn’t stop me from smelling it
>>217888729Proud half wit*
>>217888702>>217888706The Fossoway anti targ stuff was great, 10/10, so are some Dunk and Egg moments ("Everyone used to call me stupid..." "..and?")But the fart shit eyeball pissing jokes are not and they are getting old
If there's always a future seeing nigga around, why nobody ever listen to them?
>Just an apple farmer? HIS FATHER OWNS HALF THE ORCHARDS IN WESTEROS!
>>217888752Because half of them are Haelena, a drunk retard who lost his brother, Alys River sending Aemond to die at God's Eye, or Rhaegar starting the destruction of his house
>"And who are you?" the chud cuz said, "that I must bow so low?">Only a fruit of a different coat that's all the truth I know>In a coat of red or coat of green, an apple still has juice...>And mine is sweet and crisp, my cuz, as sweet and crisp as yours...
Imagine going to a joust and all the houses with their unicorns, castles, boars, wolves, griffons...And your ancestors picked a fucking apple, or 3 plums, or a motherfucking beehive.
>>217888840>zoomers think that honoring your ancestors who grew apples or plums or raised bees is somehow a negative thingkek zoomers are fucking retarded
>>217888840>he wasn't born a fossoway>can't think himself an apple
Post the shrug
cancel that, post Duncan shitting
STANNISSTANNIS STANNIS
>>217888840Apples and bees present themselves better for sigil larping than castles, or poor Hardyings who don't even have anything.
>>217888871>>217888883
>>217888752Most of them are mad, drunks, manipulative liars or all of the above. Knowing vaguely what’s going to happen without a way to prevent it or even tell if your vision has already come to pass is too much for most to bear. Look at Daeron’s reaction in the inn when he sees Dunk.
just watched it, show started off slow first ep felt really long but then before i knew it i was caught up... pretty good
>>217888808Kek
>>217888594Some hedge knight deflowering a noble's daughter on her sweet 16 wouldn't have gone over well.
>>217888840The great houses from the age of heroes took all the cool animals. Johnny come lately houses like the Martells and Tyrells had to find something else. Most of the smaller houses sigils are inspired by the reason they became lords.
season 1 bran was insanely cute shota hot
Give me some good goddamned reasons we don't have more episodes and an hour runtime than...whatever this is... (Thirty fucking minutes?!?!)
>>217889038The novella is like 100 pages total
>>217888840>motherfucking beehivebeeee careful nigga
>>217889038its a very short story
>>217889034I think cute boys should breed cute girlsTell me why he wasn't wed to Myrcella again
>>217889003He could have just demanded a tail by combat.
>>217889038>least effort to make moneyIt's kinda like GRRM at this point.Also HBO is just milking the GoT people until HotD comes out.
>>217889044>>217889055100 pages is like a lot though. If it's more than like 4 pages I'm getting chatgpt to summarise it. i've got no patience to waste on word slop
>>217889038The story isn't that long and the show is already cutting stuff to fit.
>>217889038The first story is only 120 pages. You can read it in a single sitting. 3 are currently published and Gurm has plans for up to 12.
>>217889074100 pages is nothing for a novel
>>217889086sounds like dog shit writer padding their take with filler
I don't really buy the "it's based on a short story" when HotD is based on 1 chapter and it's 3 seasons lmao
>>217889074That's why they made the comics, it's the sparknotes version with pictures
>1998, 2003, 2010>9 planned stories>…Bros
>>217889038its bullshitthey could have made up side quests and just put in filler with other characters or somethingthis show is comfy and good they need to build it
>>217889057because it's more kino for bran to breed tommen
>>217889110and you can tellthey spent the entire S2 doing fucking nothing
>>217889127I remember when I used to think I'd get to read winds of winter
>I am not crazy! I know he poisoned that cup. I knew it was the purple wedding! One sip after the toast, as if I could ever miss that! Never! Never! I just, I just couldn’t prove it! He, he, he covered his tracks, he got that idiot fool to distract everyone while the pie was wheeled in…You think this is something? You think this is bad? This, this treachery? He’s done worse. That trial by combat! Are you telling me a man just happens to trip like that? No! He orchestrated it! Tyrion! He killed his own father in the privy, and I defended him! I shouldn’t have! I brought him into this council! What was I thinking?! He’ll never change. He’ll never change! Ever since he was born, always the same! Couldn’t keep his hands out of the wine cup! But not our Tyrion! Couldn’t be clever little Tyrion! Plotting them blind! And he gets to be Hand of the King?! What a sick joke! I should have stopped him when I had the chance! And you, you have to stop him! You...
>>217889107No shit, alot of writers start out being paid by the word. More padding = more money
>>217889034Any jewlorefags want to explain how schnozz's work? They grow at puberty?
>>217889144They did. He doesn’t hang out with Lyonel Baratheon in the book.
I can't believe the apple puns got to me. I am now associating apples with the Fossoways. I'm thirsty for cider when I'm normally not. I'm now planning holidays to areas that look similar to the Reach.
>>217889055So add MOAR.
>>217889167At least now no new writers will ever make money since publishing is flooded with thousands of AI books every day. Glad this archaic medium is finally dying out
>>217889179the seed has been plantedthe sprout growssoon the great orchard will consume us all
>>217889110Don't be retardedDUNK is the story of a single fightHotd is the lore for an entire war, the biggest westeros has ever seen in fact
>>217889179>Knock the seeds out of him!
>>217889185yeah, what has literature ever wrought mankind
So uhhhhh is HotD good or nahI remember liking S1 despite the nigs (the black guy yelling her children are bastards and her mother is a whore was kinography) and I would've allowed him to stayBut is S2 shit? I remember it ended on a retarded note with a girl boss killing like a gazillion small folk
>>217889180there is no more yer graceGRRM refuses to write
>>217889179>how do you them apples>this apple fell far from the tree
>>217888457“not quite as bold as Prince Baelor, nor as clever as Prince Aerys, nor as gentle as Prince Rhaegel. And now he must suffer seeing his own sons overshadowed by his brother’s.” - Ser Raymun Fossoway
>>217889206Well? Go find the white whores NOW!!>how long before he figures out grrm only fucks black girls?
>>217889205It's worse than season 1 but imo still worth watching. I'm highly autistic about this series, thoughLike it has major flaws but those major flaws don't make it not worth watching. It's like saying "is it worth getting a blowjob from a 7/10?" like yeah a 10/10 blowjob would be nice but i'm never refusing a blowjob from a 7/10.
>>217889179>that hit shook him to the core
>>217889110The Dance is 264 pages in Fire and Blood which is why they're only able to squeeze 4 season out of it and thats with useless filler like Alicent swimming in a lake.
When the fuck is this kino getting adaptedAsoiaf fans will love it
>>217889252better writers would find a trillion things to fill the screentime than that alicent swimming garbagewe just got condol and a dyke
>Raymund is getting swarmed>"Peel for me!"
>>217889179>Cousin this argument is fruitless
>>217889179It never goes away. I got exposed to The Legend of Johnny Appleseed early on in life and still have an unquenchable love for apples. Throughout the day I find myself humming the Johnny Appleseed song whenever I so much as see an applehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_IrdS-zu48
I find it hilarious how they go out of their way to show The Sea Snake actually on a boat or on water doing things, would have been an easy win to have a fun action scene showing him get injured, instead they show it offscreen lmaoanyway all of this is so I can make a joke about how it's probably because he's black and scared of water
>>217889252It also takes place over a large period of time unlike the first Dunk book which is pretty much 3 days
being fr there is a massive variance in apples, some of them are borderline the best food I've ever eaten, some are dogshit. The type doesn't entirely matter either, I mean it does too, but you can have good and bad batches of the same typeIf you aren't a fan of apples you probably just got unlucky, I'd try different types. They're god tier. Or they can be.
>>217889266>We will never watch Glokta struggling up some stairs.
>>217889252>>217889313I just feel like they definitely could have given us 45 minutes by expanding a few things like characterization of the team mates, expanding the rules of the tourney. The show is chill but a lot of it is also rushed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlK0haAoSFY
>>217889205S2 was carried entirely by the Greens, the Blacks plot got ruined by woman writer notions for what is (isn't) cool and an uncomfortable amount of time for actual blacks that doesn't even amount to anything except make you retch because all the ones they cast look dysgenic as fucki'd say try to watch a version with the blacks scenes cut or if you watch it unedited just skip them, trust me you're not missing much
>>217889326>some are dogshit.Gala apples are horrendous Jazz apples are still my top pick for best apple
Granny Smiths are the Salt and Vinegar Chips of apples and I will not elaborate further
Why, yes, I too wish Dunk and Egg was more like Dance, with its shitty CGI, awful cinematography, telenovela dialogue and nonsensical plot points.Jesus fucking Christ, imagine complaining that a show isn't stretched as much as possible to the point you get seasons which are 50% filler written by a bunch Californian lesbians with daddy issues.
I still think one of the worst scenes in every show actually happens in season 1 of GoTWhen Robb's wolf bites the fingers off Umber. And he makes a joke about his meat being bloody tough. Even if it was in the book, it does not translate to screen. It was ridiculous. No one yelps like they got a paper cut and then starts laughing and cracking jokes when they got THEIR FUCKING FINGERS BITTEN OFF. Hahaha so funny I'm now a cripple and not in immense, unbearable screaming agony
>>217889392You're supposed to eat those with caramel
>>217889406no one said they should expand it with CGI retard
They will make as much content as they can out of the 2 remaining books if the show is popular. I wouldn’t be surprised if George gives them a couple of his ideas for a few extra seasons too. Then there will probably be a Blackfyre series. As long as it’s drawing dimes they will keep pumping it out.
anyone have a hi res of dunk's shield? I want to make one for my wall
>>217889406Yes, season 7 and 8 prove that less is more.
>>217889336What other kinos are there besides The First Law and ASOIAF?>>217889428That's almost 1 to 1 what happens in the book though. Idk giants bloodRobb can warg it's not just historical fiction
>>217889428Norfmen are just like that, they respect strength and greatjon would never pussy out because of a couple of fingers
>>217889468>That's almost 1 to 1 what happens in the bookI don't care, it's a terrible scene
>>217889428Tits or GTFO
>>217889479but he literally pussies out because he lost his fingers. He drops the threats against Robb in the momenthe then also becomes a submissive bitch to Robb and his mom because of it
>>217889468>What other kinos are there besides The First Law and ASOIAF?The Black Company
>>217889494>but he literally pussies out because he lost his fingersHe respects not a boy, but a man ready to do what's necessary in war
>>217889428I don't find it that hard to believe. He got humbled, realized immediately that he could have lost a lot more than a finger, and then cracked a joke. I'm sure there was a lot of adrenaline in his system so the pain wasn't overbearing to the point where he couldn't speak
>>217889468If you like Sci Fi, Three Body Problem (trilogy). It's not really like ASOIAF but it's the other series I am autistic about so maybe it translates.
>>217889519yeah sorry I find that scene marvel tier, and one of the bad marvel movies not one of the good ones. It'll never changeGlad it doesn't bother you guys tho. I've literally never seen anyone else mention it so it's just me apparently
>>217889428Umbers are unironically built different, entire family is basically 7ft+ badasses
>>217889439>>217889464I share a board with morons. You manage to misinterpret and cherry pick an anonymous post on the internet, it's only right that you'd think more padding would add anything to the show besides diluting everything that's great about it.
>>217889480The books are full of terrible scenes which the show's first few season did a good job of trimming the fat then they realized they trimmed too much and started adding in more show original stuff to pad for time to try and give George more time to finish the books. We all know how that turned out.
>>217889428It showed that Robb wasn’t the little boy the northern lords feared him to be. He was a man with some mettle, both quick thinking and fair to his own men. Going to a war where you could all be hanged as traitors if you lose, you would need to have faith in your commander and that moment won over the northern lords for Robb which the Greatjon was happy about.
>>217889552The same way you said they'd expand it with bad cgi, I say they'd expand it with good dialogue. How is my argument different than yours. And how did I misinterpret yours.
>>217889557>you now remember Tyrion doing acrobatics in winterfell
>>217889568I was simply listing everything that's bad about it. Stop fixating on the cgi comment, you autistic faggot.>they'd expand it with good dialogueBecause that's exactly what happened when they went off script with both GoT and Dance, wasn't it?>And how did I misinterpret yours.Notice how I didn't just reply to you.This is the last (You) you're getting from me, I'm not wasting any more of my time with double IQ nignogs on 4chan.
>>217889583Now that was a fucking sloppa scene
>>217889583Would have been kino if Tyrion was actually athletic like that and could jump around stabbing people in the eye and doing little flips like that. George should have stuck with his original vision
>>217889613>I was simply listing everything that's bad about it.Bad about what? Let's go back to your quote>Why, yes, I too wish Dunk and Egg was more like Dance, with its shitty CGI, awful cinematography, telenovela dialogue and nonsensical plot points.This is called a strawman because literally no one is asking for this. You could have gone with a real argument like "I feel if they added anything it'd only bring the overall quality down", but you didn't, you made a strawman
>>217889511Heard of this>>217889530Ehh I like fantasy mainlySomeone also said Red Rising is goodFuark First Law is so kino I recommend everyone who likes Asoiaf to read it, it's the exact same style and vibeBut skip the dogshit sharp ends book and red country is kind of shit to meAlso drop the second trilogy at the end of the trouble with peace
These two Californians are so low energy.Are they part of the film crew? It feels like they don't want to be there.
I read Dragonlance as a kid and liked it, I'd probably think it's dogshit now. Pretty generic fantasy I suppose but it was new to meRaistlin is still kino though. My first personality.
>>217889530NTA, but Three Body Problem has the most wooden writing I've ever experienced. It genuinely feels like AI wrote it, just no shade of human feeling or ear for language anywhere. The sequel is somehow even worse.
>>217889679Filtered. The sequels are even more kino.
>>217889468Book of Malazan and Black Company

kek
I just want a cutaway in the trial where Steffon and Raymun are standing in the mud whipping unripe apples at each other as hard as humanly possible.
>Ser Anon, for leal service in the 17th Blackfyre chimpout King Bran III has seen fit to grant you a lordship over one of the lesser fiefs of the kingdoms. Moreover, you will be permitted to take a bride from the house of your choosing.What are your picks boys?
>>217889756
>>217889772that scene in Saving Private Ryan but with apples instead of helmets
I think the situation that's created after the Trial is interesting but in a sense, it's kind of pointless, because we don't actually get to spend time in that world. Even future seasons aren't really about that, mostly. Which is fine I guess cause we don't need two shows about targ civil wars or whatever but I'm kinda more interested in whatever happens to Maekar than anything in HotD lmao
>>217889732sry but this is my Fossoway anthemhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFOzayDpWoI

>>217888376>bodies in the Winterfell cryptsA society that had been subjected to LITERAL FUCKING ZOMBIES would practice cremation.

>>217889917The curse was broken during the reign of Chimpout XIV under Bran II, anon. You haven't read the books...? Anyway, I'm feeling benevolent, you can have a seat at the retard table during my wedding.
>>217889936bran II? the fuck you mean? Queen Shireen's eldest sits on the throne.
I feel pretty confident that I'm the man who could conquer the curse of harrenhal
>>217888702>everything from the books - good>every "comedic" "joke" created by the show - badThis has been the case with all the HBO "adaptions" of Gurms stuff. It was the same with GoT, HotD and now Dunk.
>>217889871You are better off taking somewhere like Cider Hall right in the middle of the reach but on a river. Nice and safe from Ironborn and Dornishmen invasions or other wars. Harrenhal is geographically and literally cursed.
>anyway uh tyrone lancaster did a flip oen time so uh it's okay that oona chaplin's character existsyou fucking people
someone fetch me a pretty wench
>>217889950>in the future Aebracatedra Kedavra fractures the Multeros, creating different timelinesOkay, anon, I'm in. You get a seat with Moonboy IV, and I'll watch Shireen's eldest getting it on with a stonedick from the secret passages of the Red Keep in your world. Just shut the Gate behind you, because I don't want Alt-Harren-the-Whites crashing my party.
>>217889827If the showrunner wasn't just talking bullshit when they said they wanted to do Dunk & Egg throughout their whole lives eventually Maekar comes back into the picture>In 219 AC, Aegon served alongside his father Prince Maekar and elder brother Prince Aerion in the Third Blackfyre Rebellion, where he demonstrated great courage.Just depends on how they're going to fill the in-universe gap of 7 years from Season 3 to however many seasons before they get to the Third Blackfyre rebellion. Which if the seasons follow the novella time gaps of roughly a year between each story maybe season 10 or 11 if HBO doesn't drop the series.Personally I don't see them doing a whole new show just about the first Blackfyre rebellion when they can just fill in the important bits with flashbacks in the Dunk & Egg series.
>>217889813Idk...lesser fief? Not sure what the best is. Bran, pick for me. Bride? Uh...not sure what the best is. Bran, pick for me...but make sure she's cute, smart and loyal!
>>217888353In the first episode there was a talk about some lord's son missing. Was he ever found or is it some sort of unresolved mystery that will never get resolution? I remember Lost did stuff like that a lot.
>>217890028
>>217889659>always snarky>can't show they enjoyed anythingI think that's just part of their culture. Don't be racist.
>>217888840>And your ancestors pickedan ancient sigil from long lost Earth.
>>217890028youll find out in season 2
>>217889038>Give me some good goddamned reasons we don't have more episodes and an hour runtime than...whatever this is... (Thirty fucking minutes?!?!)Hollywood incompetence.
>>217890017But of course my lord. You shall enjoy the seat of Greywater Watch with a nice Farwynd girl.

Is Trump the Brute of Bracken??
>>217890233Because it's an allegory about Trump and Hillary with the Greens representing Trump and MAGA and the Blacks representing Hillary and the Democrats, the writers are about about this>Did you think about any real-world figures, whether historical or contemporary, in relation to this character? There have been a lot of Rhaenys-like women. >Absolutely, 100%, almost every single great woman you can think of [has] an element of [Rhaenys]. Sara Hess, who’s one of the executive producers and the lead writers for the show, said to me on the first day, “There’s so much of Hillary Clinton [in Rhaenys].” God knows you couldn’t compare Viserys to the other one [former President Trump], but the similarities are very clear — to see that the person who is absolutely, hands down, best suited for the job is sidelined simply because she’s a woman, and then has to somehow find her way.
>>217890285Can't they sort of merge the shows like they did with mandalorian, bobba fett and ahsoka and bring characters from house of dragon into this show?
>>217890233>>217890321>Framing the series around Rhaenyra and Alicent was an idea that came from Alexis Raben – who, as well as being Sapochnik’s wife, is a development executive at his production company. “One day, she said, ‘This would be much more interesting if it was about the two main female characters, rather than the male characters,’” Sapochnik recalls>“‘If you really focused in on the patriarchy’s perception of women, and the fact that they’d rather destroy themselves than see a woman on the throne.’ That wasn’t a perspective I have ever told before. I think it made this show feel more contemporary too.”>“We said, ‘What if Alicent is like “Women for Trump,” and Rhaenyra’s like punk rock?’” Anarchy in Westeros? Count us in.
>>217890321Writers are open about this*
>>217890321>>217890354crazy how there are anons who watched this show
>>217890431Worse, they enjoyed it.
Who is best girl of this show?
>>217889038The books are like 30 pages long, bro.
>>217890470The Red Widow
Are there any other cool monsters in this series? Dragons are lame and White Walkers don't count because they are just icy versions of other lame things.
>>217890528sorta.
this guy looks enough like the clubfoot guy from HOTD that I always do a double take when he shows up
>>217890431>>217890445It's even worse because these articles came out before the show even released so you knew that the show was not going to follow the books and have this bias, it's even funnier because GRRM was somehow blindsided when they didn't faithfully adapt the book and were using it to push their own agenda instead, despite the show runner and lead writers publicly saying this stuff before the first season even came out
>>217888729I want the full one of this as a tapestry
>>217890584everyone does.
Who is the guy and his son that gets burnt alive in hotd S1 I can't recall and it's a nightmare to findI want to re-watch the scene
>>217889428Greatjon understood that if he pushed the situation any further, he was going to end up executed. Joking to diffuse the situation was the only way he'd keep his head

>>217890552He's qtHis size difference with Dunk is hot
So, HotD started good, then went to shit with MUHSTRONKWOMEN bullshit as soon as they realized they had a platform people were interested in that they could stuff chock-full of their crap.Soooo, considering everybody seems to be loving this, and Rohanne is already confirmed for the second series, how likely are they to turn even this series to shit?

>>217888708 "An hour later, her stomach began to cramp so badly that she could not go on. She spent the rest of that day retching up green slime.... ...Sunset found her squatting in the grass, groaning. Every stool was looser than the one before, and smelled fouler. By the time the moon came up she was shitting brown water. The more she drank, the more she shat, but the more she shat, the thirstier she grew, and her thirst sent her crawling to the stream to suck up more water. When she closed her eyes at last, Dany did not know whether she would be strong enough to open them again." -ADODLet's not pretend that GRRM doesn't have his own fascination with that stuff.

>>217889148More shit and degenerate you mean.
>>217889428>I still think one of the worst scenes in every show actually happens in season 1 of GoTCorrect, but it's not any of the book stuff. It's the fucking filler scenes with Rose and Theon. Littlefinger spewing his backstory while two whores fingerbang each other. All the shitty exposition.
am i supposed to know whomst they are
>>217889480Retard.>>217889557What a stupid fucking take holy shit. The show cut out and mangled so much cool stuff you could've made a separate show out of that. There was never any need to add original stuff and it was shit 99% of the time.
>>217891036>>217891093>>217891124>>217891184Fag-to-fag communication.
>>217890185Nitpicking retard.
>>217889068HotD fucking suckswomen ruin everything
>>217891844first one is hardyng's cousin, he is the one whose horse dies jousting agaisnt Aerion and gets his leg crushed. yellow mustahce guy is Humfried beeeeeeesbury. he was dancing in Lyonel's tent, though I read that they filmed more scenes with him but they were all cut, which sucks for the actor
It's funny that Joffrey is the only character that the show improved
>rhaenyra is free to go out, drink and fuck during the night. She's a free spirit after all>Criston is the bad guy for being coerced into breaking his oath by rhaenyratwitter is exhausting sometimes
>>217891051Yeah, they are going to put on a black female co-showrunner and some extra producers I expect
>>217891051AKOSK was shit from the start, but people lowered their standards on this one for some reason.
>>217892063He was a grown-up knight of the highest institution a knight can attain in the country and she was a dumb horny teenager.I don't think Criston's side would hole up in court.
HotD was never good, HotD is for the people who thought Battle of the Bastards was the best GoT episode.
>>217891147Nah, S2 went really above and beyond with the MUHWOMEN tripe.Both Rhaenyra and Alicent were kinda sorta entitled assholes, at least somewhat, in S1.In S2 they entitely became victims-of-the-patriarchy who didn't manage to broker a sensible peace only because MENBAD prevented them from doing it.Same shit goes for any other female character, Myseria, Rhaenys, all brave and just women who only had the best for the people in mind.Also throwing in some GLGkissykissies for good measure.
Season 2 is mostly bad because it's dumb filler shit and nothing really happened.
>People not realizing that the Dance of the Dragons has always been Rhaenyra vs Alicent (at least the show Dance). It all started with those dresses...
>>217892308can and will they redeem themselves with S3 or is it too far gone?
Cute and canon!
>>217892308do you ever get tired of sniffing your own farts?
>>217892422Doubtful.I'm entirely convinced thar Rhaenyra won't die to Sunfyre's fire, and he will only bite her in half, reluctantly because he senses the truest Targ blood in her, because Aegon will throw a tantrum commanding him to do so.Then he will have Elinda Massey's eyes gouged out and threaten all the other people present as in "Your eyes never saw any of it, or you will lose them here and now".
>>217892253there's a huge power inbalance though.He fucks her, he's fucked he doesnt fuck her, she develops a grudge, makes shit up to punish him, and he's fucked because who'll take his side against a princessHe cant leave his position either, he's tied to the family at the cost of an execution if he deserts
>>217892538
>>217892308This but it really started in S1 E9
>>217888475Yeah they should have put those in this episode while he is in jail reminiscing
>>217888610Who doesn't???
>>217889468Devils by Abercrombie. And Cameron is adapting it.
>>217892386Except that at this point they are on the same fucking side
currently watching and now on episode 2. wtf is this slop??? the forced, contrived humor, the incessant and unnecessary nudity. it's like some retard chud wrote this filth
>>217892673Dead. Dead as fuck.
>>217888869I'm not a Zoomer, but, it's very pretentious and irrelevant. that's a fact that no amount of pretending is going to change.
>>217889266Why don't the showrunners just write a big fat check to Abercrombie and make him write the characters/dialogue for HotD? Boom, the biggest problem of the show solved for a tiny fraction of the total show budget.
Was Alien a word in the 15th century? Did they even understand the concept of aliens?
>>217892760>From Middle English alien, a borrowing from Old French alien, aliene, from Latin aliēnus (“belonging to someone else”, later “exotic, foreign”), from Latin alius (“other”), from Proto-Indo-European *h2élyos. Related to English else.
>>217892760It's a 14th century word. It didn't always mean little grey men from outter space.
>>217892749Think about poor writers, you filthy chud. I am calling Writers Guild after finishing my onions.
>>217890292The wars of ASOIAF :Conquest of Aegon = Conquest of duc William I with Aegon I as William I of NormandyWar of Maegor = War of William II with Maegor as William IIDance of Dragons = English Anarchy of Empress Matilda with Rhaenyra as MatildaConquest of Dorne = Third Crusade with Daeron I as Richard the LionheartBlackfyre rebellion = Barons' WarsWar of the Usurper = Wars of the Roses with Daenerys as Henry VII
>>217892760>>217892786Alien still doesn't mean beings from outer space, that would be "extraterrestrial alien"
>>217891947The beesbury lad is also hardyngs brother in law, so it makes sense for him to join be it for his drinking buddy lyonel or to avenge his kin
>>217891416How many times a day do you think of the roman empire
>>217888353Okay guys, we got Osgrey and Inchfield, but im not sure who she is supposed to play
>>217891068Based
>>217893286the slow septa? or maid? I forget what she was but they trick dunk into thinking shes the spider lady and they kind of flirt
>>217890755Damn, the bloody gate is pretty far away from honeyholt. The humfreys being brothers in law is kinda weird given how far away their houses are from each other.
HotD was bad from the start with young Rhaenyra being against getting married as if that wasn't her duty and she didn't know that. The books only mention she didn't want to marry Laenor because he was a known sodomite and they all knew it. She felt it was embarrassing and beneath her to do so.Also, she was a great beauty in her youth. Her scene with Cole is disturbing because she feels like a child with Downs syndrome.
>>217890755Who's this next to House Fossoway?
>>217893447are you saying monke isn't cute? get the fuck out of this thread and never come back
>>217893447>Also, she was a great beauty in her youth.implying that you wouldn't
>>217893286I can't believe that they actually got an attractive redhead to play the attractive red head. God bless the scatfag jew
>>217890233It's genuinely oddWhen they whitewash Rahenyra by not making her kill Leanor one might think "oh, they are going to play off on the historical exaggeration angle and make everyone a tad more reasonable" but then you remember they had already made Aegon a canonical rapist. Then the coronation happens, no Sunfyre ride, but a Meleys massacre... which the show doesn't recognize as such? They didn't realize it was a mssacre of innocent civilians and tought it was a badass moment?But then the show hits you with a surprise last episode: Aemond was just fucking with Luke and maybe HE will be the misunderstood character (odd, how are they going to justify the riverlands, you immediately think) but then in season 2 they make canon that Aemond attacked Aegon out of penis envyThey make Rahenyra and Alicent meet to stop the war further whitewashing women and making men evil and worse.The only chance at a good male character was Daeron aaand... he was cut from season 2 and postponed to season 3Such a direct line of weird to insane choices on the writer's part. All they had to do was make it so Aegon's flaws were exaggerated in the history books and was just an average whoring drunkard and the issue could have been avoided
>>217893447Its always really bad when someone in a period piece or a fantasy setting is an iconoclast or nonconformist or whatever. Which is basically always but it defeats the point. Arya at least was a little girl she have a problem with her whole society
>>217893620>>217893447It makes sense that a royal who has a fucking dragon and comes from the "fuck your traditions incest for me but not for thee" family would be an entitled bratThe issue is how it's presented.It should be presented as "Rahenyra might not be morally wrong but she will be an irresponsible ruler if she's unable to follow the basic way of things in society" instead of "poor Rahenyra will have to tear down the patriarchy lets go queen"A subtle but important difference in how you write a character flaw
>>217893601To add to the Daeron rant, by cutting out Maelor, Daeron will go full genocidal over... nothing? I have no idea what they plan to do with him, maybe they will just make him an evil asshole for no reason, or maybe cut the massacre entirely.
>>217890185What a shithole
>>217893601It's not odd at all because the story is about around "patriarchy bad" and always has, it's intentional, the writers and show runner have said this themselves
>>217890292>>217893024lmfao gurm is a known hack
>>217893798Meanwhile, Tolkien worldbuilding as he actually says he did it in interviews:>Yeah so basically the dwarves are literally the jews and the hobbits are literally the english countryside
>>217893798you shouldnt be posting thisyou will upset the retards
>>217891416It's 13 years past the last battle so he was born right after the rebellion was defeated. He grew up with the stories of it still fresh and the aftermath there to see.
>>217893825>Yeah so basically the dwarves are literally the jews and the hobbits are literally the english countrysideand that's based
>>217893286Osgrey's daughter maybe. Lucy Boynton is playing Rohanne.
>>217893825naeh
Despite the short show runtimes, we are definitely getting a season 2. A great show so far.
Why don’t the small folk simply kill their lords and lord paramount?
>>217894007You don't understand how fucking stupid the peasants are.
>>217894007Why don't you?
>>217894007Because they're based on americans, so they are naturally submissive to their overlords.Currently the americans suffer greater wealth inequality than the french did before the french revolution, yet they do nothing.
>>217893601>They make Rahenyra and Alicent meet to stop the war further whitewashing women and making men evil and worse.This was by far the dumbest and most insulting scene in the series. Alicent basically kicked off the war and forced Aegon to accept the throne even when he clearly didn't want to and would have been fine giving it to Rhaenyra.
>>217894007Same reasons you aren't hunting down Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates, or any of the lesser overlords.
>>217893601
>>217893265fair enough
I am pro Absolute Monarchy
>>217894212As much as I like dunc and egg that's not exactly a hard thing to accomplish.
>>217894225Many hotd episodes are very highly rated, especially in the second half of s1/ first half of s2
>>217894265>first half of s2
>>217894079Wealth inequality is a meme, the french revolution was started by the rich merchant classPeople want to have their basic needs met + some left for pleasure and entertainment, "inequality" is a useless metric that tells you nothing, there are tons of more "equal" countries where people live worse than the US.If it keeps getting even harder to get a house and put food on the table, then you can expect people to start getting pissed off
>>217894295Episode 4 is rated 9.4 on IMBD
>>217894329>the fucking episode that destroyed aemond and aegonofc lmao
>>217894351Aegon was destroyed in season 1 when he was made a rapist who watches his children fight to death in flea bottom arenasEpisode 4 actually did a decent attempt to make the audience feel for him (a good 6 episodes too late, I'd say)But it did make questionable Aemond choices.
>>217894007Even if the peasants make up majority of a lord's army the nobility can always bribe someone to betray the peasants or hire mercs from Essos.
>>217894295He is right, first 4 episodes were pretty solid, and the red sowing was pretty good, its the whole "alicent going on a camping trip" "kill my chud sons, rhaenyra" and "mysaria is clearly a self insert" wich bring the whole season down
>>217894375I'm just happy dunc is shitting all over it and we havent see how low s3 is going to sink
>>217890321>>217890354This trump thing will never end. They will go to their deathbeds seething about the fact that he dared to win in 2016 instead of having a le hecking female president.
