House Bl- ACK! wood
>>219182306why are all blackwoods such cowards?
>>219181319House Baelish is truly THE god-tier house in Westeros. Let's compare his resources compared to a great house, and their fates.>House Baelish -Men-at-arms: 2Knights/Freeriders: 4other household retainers: around 5major assets: a couple dozen sheep and an old flint towerCurrent status: Lord of Harrenhal, Lord Paramount of the Riverlands, Lord Protector of the Vale, about to get some sweet Sansa pussy>House Stark-Men-at-arms: tens of thousandsKnights/Freeriders: hundreds, if not thousandsother household retainers: hundredsmajor assets: a great fortress with vast lands, and half of WesterosCurrent status: dead, about to be fucked, lost, stuck in tree internet, and smashing walnuts>Baelish Power Leveltoo fucking high to count

After rewatching Battle of the Bastards, its cinematically very well done and enjoyable but thinking about how the battle itself actually plays out is very retarded. I doubt 95% of the viewers cared because its hailed as one of the best.
>>219181319TAOOBA!
>>219182543>tranime
>>219182666I think like all TV/film battles it's a simulacrum of semi-realistic events, condensing it to be viewable for retards. I liked that they included things like the human crush which was a real thing often written about in battles, even today when there's a fire at a stadium or a nightclub it happens. The strategy was retarded though, sending your expensive horsemen+horses in the first wave rather than as a flanking force hammer and anvil style was retarded, also he didn't use skirmish phase correctly, against retarded untrained unarmoured wildlings in knee-deep snow with little or no cavalry you could've just shot them to pieces from across the field and there's nothing really they can do to retaliate or close the distance without taking insane casualties.
....on, on, oN
>>219182839Everything the Bolton army did was kinda retarded, don't know how the Bolton heavy calvary that outnumbered the light wilding calvary lost in a charge, some with all the Bolton archers magically disappearing, the whole pikewall thing. The Boltons somehow not knowing the Knights of the Vale were coming when they held Moat Cailin or lost it to the Vale. I think they just wanted to make Sansa look smart in a retarded way to "save the day"
Eight fucking Fossoway cidersI could have stopped at fiveI had to have eight
>shtannish cut off all mah fingers. now give him one billion dollars
>>219183068lol
>>219182666>>219182839>>219183102was the joke that Ramsay was retarded?he threw away his cavalry for nothing, his archers could have done the job
>>219183264>was the joke that Ramsay was retardedhe left his best man in Winterfell
>>219182666>>219182839I try not to bring my military armchair autism to movies and tv shows since they'll almost always disappoint in that area. what really annoys me is ignoring obvious fun stuff like armoring up the giant or giving him a big club to swing around. it just shows a lack of imagination
>What of the Queensguard?
>>219183377
>>219183440Take a guard to the lance, kingshandle. I will bury the heart bee.
>>219183416A few giants in full plate would've been fucking rad.
>>219183377The fact that they never showed what happened to him was criminally retarded. They didn't even mention him again after that episode. He's the greatest fighter in the North, maybe even in Westeros, and he just vanishes from the storyline. D&D were such hacks.
>>219182773THAT'S TAOOBA!
more AAAGGHH your grace?
I will never forgive D&D for starting this bitches career as the "tough girl"
>>219183705>his brother usurps the throne violently>now stannis thinks laws of succession matterWhy are Barathecucks so stupid?
>>219183571Dissappeared with Meera Reed to live among the Swamp people
>>219183264He was retarded, yeah. It's been a while since I watched it but the wildlings were hiding in a forest and jon said something about using pickets to stop them from being encircled but from their silly forest they can't actually do anything so there was no need for ramsay to attack at all as far as I could see. He could've just shot them to shit, sure the trees will protect them a bit but you've got winterfell like 10 minutes up the road, just go get more arrows from the armory. What are they gonna do? Harass your supply lines with the cavalry they don't have?
>>219182773
>>219181319Tell me about The Mountain, why does he wear the helm

>>219183971A LOTTA LOYALTY FOR A HIRED BANNERMAN
Why did Eddard never tell Robert about Lyanna or Jon? Seems like a shit friend desu.On a similarly related note, why did Arthur Dayne fight Eddard at the Tower of Joy? His annointed King was dead at that point. His charge was not only unjust, by that point it was entirely unfounded, both logistically and morally.Yet Dayne is remembered fondly, despite his actions during his final years paint him as nothing more than a bandit worthy of comparison to Gregor Clegane. I don't get it.
>>219184213
You are now aware that after he dies no one ever mentions Rickon again. Jon looks mildly perturbed when he dies. Sansa doesn't care at all. Arya doesn't ask about him when she gets to Winterfell. Bran says nothing. I get that he's no ones favorite Stark but in show canon he gets treated like less than trash by his actual family.
>>219181319egg is icsh
>>219184275>didn't serpentineshel ffs
>>219184222Robert would have chimped out and had baby Jon's brains bashed in.
>>219184275They do that a lot, tommen was king, flung himself to his death and that's never spoken of either.
>>219184386Why? I don't really see anything in his character to suggest that. Even so, if that's the reasoning, then that makes Eddard look like an even bigger faggot;too much of a coward to confront the man who he describes as a more of a brother to him than his blood relations, and worse yet leaving the seven (nine) kingdoms in his hands, then showing up 20 years later and acting surprised.Is every character in this series just a total fucking loser?
>>219163642Wish we could get a larger version for printing, same with pic related.
I CAN'T BREED
>>219184649
>>219181319There's no way George doesn't retcon his books to actually have a Night King in TWOW and make it Bran through time-paradoxery after all the backlash, right?
>>219184617Robert and Ned had a huge falling out over Robert trying to kill a child(Dany). It was a fairly important scene.
>>219184841why does the night king have clothing?
>>219184894To aura-farm against Jon Snow.
>calls Bran an incel>vanishes from the show
>>219184963>is the only one who could warn the others that Bran has been mind-raped and replaced by an old Targaryen warg>doesntwtf was her problem?
>maekar when he saw that boulder coming for his head
>>219185124>Mfw the doctor tells me that my years of nightly whiskey consumption has given me terminal liver cancer
>>219184963man, /got/ was obsessed with herit got so bad that even posting her was an insta-ban
>>219184840Might print this one, the Ashara and Ned one I still can't find a larger one than 2500x2067.
>>219185179hi Daeron

>>219185236the blackwater threads were where /tv/ peaked
>>219184963She looks like if Anne Frank made it to adulthood
>>219184809I choose to believe it was a surviving Red Keep mason that killed him as they would have known the secret passages to not be seen and cause Targshits always need humbling.>So awful even his Kingsguard abandoned himHow different would things have gone if he had a gang of bootlickers like the Mad King's generation of guard?
Thirteen years ago tonight:Game of Thrones season 3 episode 1: “ Valar Dohaeris” aired for the first time. It’s introduced three new characters that would last all the way to season 8: Tormund, Missandei, and Qyburn.
>>219185671My sundae :)
>>219185671I miss this time.Everyone watched the show, everyone would talk about it.Now no one talks about it. Even our threads are slow.
>>219185575Rhaegar hints to Jaime before leaving that they're going to abandon crazy ass Aerys as well after the rebellion is squashed.Fatman's to blame for writing these ideal knights like Gerold, Barristan and Arthur Dayne and then turning them into bystanders of a mad king.
>>219185788
>>219185671>Game of Thrones season 3I know that everyone loves the Twin - Arya interactions and that this was swapped from the books where Arya is Roose's servant. But I still don't know why Tywin would give her to the Mountain when he clearly knows he is going to kill/rape her and he knows that she is obviously from a highborn background and would have more value as a hostage even as a minor house.
>>219184222Dayne seems like a Selmy-tier retard where if Raegar’s last words to him were “let nobody near Lyanna, no matter what” he would in fact fight her eighteen year old brother even though she lay there dying. The fact that Ned still respects Dayne also hints that Dayne was probably a retard. Its also possible they just knew, no matter what that Targs were gonna be killed by Robert and might not have thought Ned would lie to Robert and hide the child. So if they could kill Ned they’d have time to flee with Jon to Essos or Dragonstone
>>219186011Tywin genuinely doesn't care about anyone who isn't a direct Lannister relativeHe's a sociopath
>>219186011Maybe it's a sex thing? He might like to jerk off thinking about what the mountain gets up to.Does he imagine himself as the mountain raping chicks? Or does he imagine himself as the chick getting raped? Who knows these things.
>>219186048>Dayne seems like a Selmy-tier retardI'm far from the first to say so but I often think Ser Arthur was missing some critical quality [X] and that after Rhaegar he's the character most likely to have been autistic.
>>219186011>I know that everyone loves the Twin - Arya interactionsI don't. That entire business seemed ridiculously contrived, still does.
>>219186669this would be a good subject for the anon always promoting the "Arya Stark Has a Fat Ass" tag on archive of our own. it isn't me btw
harrenhar? why it not on tabre?
>>219185183Mods probably ruined her career
>>219186806the firah - firah - fiyah - lises, blothar!
>>219186806yiti motherfucker
>>219186011Tywin loves rape. Not comitting the act himself but having the power to have it done to anyone when he feels like it. There was a hundred different ways he could have gotten rid of Tysha that didn't involve gangrape.
>>219184617>>219184861They also had a huge falling out over Robert not being upset about the murder of another of Rhaegar's children (Aemon). It was a fairly important scene.
>>219181319Friendly reminder that the murder of jon arryn was just Ladder Man covering his own ass and the Wot5K was just Ladder Man improvising around the murder but it all worked out because everyone else was extremely retarded and tyrion kind of forgot about Ladder Man trying to get him killed
>>219185390I checked and she actually had a few Anne Frank roles
Dayne really has no feats
>>219185236Sneed
>>219185788There is a raisin for that
>>219187267He used his space sword to kill a 4' outlaw
>>219185671>Valar DohaerisGods we were hot then
>>219187287the sneed is strong
>Your Grace, Theon has taken Winterfell and holds your brothers hostage. Let me, who advises you to do nothing but torture, send word to my evil chud bastard at the Rapefort to save them
>>219185671easily my favorite trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBtkdje5OfY
>>219184963Bran still watches her daily on raventube
>>219188128
>>219184222To be fair to the three kingsguard at the tower of joy the only concrete information we have about the events come from a literal fever dream and a show that had by that point turned into a parody.For all we know the fight might have started because the kingsguard intended to crown Jon and fight on from Essos.
>>219182666What vexes me is Ramsey's troops never turning on him. Or Umbers and Karstarks.
>>219191639If I was one of the Bolton foot soldiers I would go "holy fuck is that a giant"
>>219184841>There's no way George doesn't retcon his books to actually have a Night KingStabbing the final boss like a vidya game with all the Others and zombies collapsing to snow is the only way to defeat the Others, they're simply too powerful.
>>219184313luke is icsh
>>219185671>Tormund
>>219185843>Rhaegar hints to Jaime before leaving that they're going to abandon crazy ass Aerys as well after the rebellion is squashed.The Southron Ambitionists already had plans to carry out a coup and install a parliament of nobles controlling a constitutional monarchy but events overtook them.
>>219186011>everyone loves the Twin - Arya interactionsLiterally nobody liked those scenes, they were straight up retarded.
>>219193032You're too clever for your own good, has anyone ever told you that
>>219186011>I know that everyone loves the Twin - Arya interactionsEveryone on reddit, maybe
>>219193032>he doesn't like mutton
>>219193032>Literally nobody liked those sceneswe are talking about the average goyim who watch the show
I was promised a lot of rape but there wasn't enough rape.
>>219188051This is my favorite. As far as I know, it only aired once, immediately before season 8 episode 1.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBuhFB7rN9w
>>219196727never been back to chuck's since
cast her
>>219197753The hag that played Ginny Weasley
>>219195585Technically Benjen was still alive too
>>219196727Lol wut
>>219182401when the gods were creating houses, they flipped a coinbased or cringeand when the blackwoods were being created, the cringe side was on both sides of the coin
>>219191880Kit Harrington is only 5′8″
>>219192327season 1 bran is icsh
>>219193032>anyway, I'm going to leave you with the mountain, obvious noble girl from the north/riverlands, im too rich to ransom you
>>219192634Brian Blessed would have been a great Tormund. If Tormund were preserved in the series as Tormund instead of made into a composite character anyway.
>>219200581>"Did I ever tell you about my dyslexic son?"
>>219200513i want to fugg kit harrington please let me fugg kit harrington please
>>219200581>im too richhe's broke and in debt, moron.
....semoc eH
>>219184402The whole process of Cersei becoming queen was ridiculous. Literally no one would support her. Not even the remaining Lannisters would have a good reason to support her. But the minute she takes the throne, they act like she's unstoppable.
Is HoD good? I dont think I could get over half the targareans being black, looks so jarring.
>>219182838>he said calmly on an anime site
>>219185843The point was they were never really the ideal knights singers made them out to be.
>>219192961Too bad
>>219201217>>219182306>>219183068lmao
how will george redimee her for being such a slut before giving her to jon ?
>>219201815TWOW isnt coming out. You need to be real dumb to think we'll see a book from a millionaire that will take real effort and time to conclude with 32 POV characters and tons of lesser characters with story arcs.
>>219202582It’s coming out soon. I can feel it.
>>219182838>dislikes bunny girlsyour grandfather would call you gay
>>219201565
>>219192231The problem with that is both the books and show previously showed you can kill a WW no problem and the Wights remain active.
>>219202582Just kill every Dornish POV, they add nothing.Also abort Dany plotline by having her shit herself to death or something,
>>219204618the more she drank the more she shat was a prophetic warning by George about seasons 7 and 8.
>>219202582can easily combine a lot. just need one pov from locations.north/stannis camp you can have either of the greyjoysking's landing cerseistormlands/faegon camp jonconessos barristan/tyrionthen you have the main characters with their ownjon, arya and dany
>>219202582>32 POV characters and tons of lesser characters with story arcsHe could just forget about them like he's done before, lmao we don't even know what happened to Ned Dayne after Beric died and the brotherhood splintered two books ago.Fatman is too lazy to even to shit out two trash book where he just gets rid of half the story arcs.
Who is an actually good Kingsguard that is not a bystander?
>>219181319dune like trilogy with balerion as the anchor>part 1: birth of balerion and doom, ends with harrenhal burning>part 2: rest of the conquest, ends with dornish war and death of meraxes>part 3: maegor and the faith, ends with balerion's death
>>219197497
>>219204945there's no point to any of these prequels because we know it all amounts to nothing and Arya girlbossing the threat to the world.
>>219201257No, it's pretty bad actually.
>>219201257It makes it even more obvious that Rhaenyra is a whore. No muh black-haired grandma cope possible.
>>219204915Criston Cole unironically and he's been slandered for the last 100 years for it.
>>219204945>doom of ValyruiaYou just throw the biggest kinoest event of the whole franchise in the first part like that? The rest will look Tedious
>>219206005the point of the trilogy would be to start the conquest storyline. similar to how agot starts after robert's rebellion.
>>219204298>you can kill a WW no problem and the Wights remain active.Sure, with obsidian or a Valyrian steel weapon but when you're facing massive hordes of zombies that's just not practical, which means the Others can ONLY be defeated by killing the Final Boss like a vidya game, as happened on the tv show.
Apart from obviously the Stormlands (Specifically the eastern coastal area) which regions of Westeros you guys think recieve the most rainfall?Maybe Massey's hook and Cracklaw's point. Does the Iron Islands get too much rain? Is the Vale humid or fully temperate? How about the Riverlands, lots of evaporation there, or does the mountains of the moon block clouds?
I never really understod why Dorne is a desert when the southern Reach on the same latitude isn't. The mountains of Dorn are in the north, so shouldn't create a rainshadow against the sea.
>>219206904Bran the Builder stole all the water in Dorne to make Wall.
>>219206943wow that's a war crime No wonder the dornish are so ... salty
>>219205471Is there a reason he looks like a girl on the left?
>>219207054Arya on the left, Gendry on the right.
>>219206904Wind patterns, ocean currents, little precipitation compared to the Reach, soil quality, soil erosion, Continental winds stop at the Red Mountains and bouce back, there's a region in Brazil which the same shit happens, just a semi-arid desert surrounded by rainforests and green bushland
Good morrow sers
>>219206650the Neck and the rest of the southern Norf are probably pretty wet in summer
>>219206650using the search atleast in the books the most mentions of "rain" is in the riverlands (apart from the fucking song).reach must get some good rainfall too, as they're the top dogs of agriculture.iron islands too i wager.
>>219207067Oh good, I'm not gay
>>219192231there's still so much we don't know about the Others they don't necessarily need to be "defeated" for them to no longer be a threat
>>219184213>>219184259Those peasants' i've killed? Don't matter lol.
