>>221959700read the book
>>221959700They don't, they lost the first one through pure plot armour, the other two were punishing Dornish raids, the fourth was an ill-advised naval attack from the Dornish that the Targs immolated, the fifth was the conquest where without dragons Daeron the conqueror took the whole of Dorne. Then the plot armour kicks in and the Dornish are able to kill thousands of Westerosi by rioting I guess, then when Daeron rocks up and beats them again they sued for peace and assassinated him at the peace conference, then lucked into the next king being a pacifist. So then they bailed and got the best deal they could to join. The Dornish have such thick plot armour that they can ironically do the "is it worse to kill one man at dinner than a thousand in a battle" Reddit thing by betraying a flag of truce
>>221959966Neither was Imrryr, it was destroyed by a flotilla of assorted rascals.
>>221960085

post meera reed
George says the mages of Valyria experimented with human beast chimeras. Are Dragons part human?
>>221960150That's the thing that (((Targs))) and their servants didn't seem to understand: the Dornish people strive together and don't just give up because an opponent occupies some buildings. Daeron lost more men than the armies of Robb Stark, Stannis Baratheon, Tywin Lannister, and the Tyrells lost in the War of the Five Kings COMBINED in his failed invasion lol.
>>221960115The entire Dornish resistance feels kinda pointless in the long run. Even in the conquest you gotta wonder how many small folks burned, how much of the economy, the civilization was destroyed just because the old toad bitch wouldn't submit. And then eventually they did anyway and the only real privilege over others they seem to have is a special title.
>>221960338That's why people hate dorne, their economy, their people and their civilization is completely unscathed after every war
>>221959700Martin is a fat leftist and Dorne represents his ideal brown socialist dream.
>>221960329The fact they killed a dragon and still were left unconquered is the jewel in their crown. Besides the fact that they beat the Targaryens so many times that eventually the Targaryens literally gave up and then DORNED their bloodline by marrying twice into Dornish houses. Egg is 3/4 Dornish. And they got basically remain autonomous, running their own taxes and keeping a higher noble title than any other realm. Based as fuck.
>>221960329Yeah because they have infinite supplies hidden by George under the sand and respawning armies (House Tully also has access to this hack)
>>221960033Preserving the old ways and corrupting the weirwood net in order to make the greenseers wedded to them immortal. Imo the Others are essentially greenseers warging into ice shadows cast using human sacrifices(like Craster's sons being fed into the mouth of a weirwood) while they remain safely within the weirwood net if their bodies happen to get destroyed. The big reveal about the Winterfell crypts will be Brandon the Builder's immortal body still wedded to the weirwood roots at its deepest level and it'll probably be Arya granting him the gift of death after thousands of years living as a shadow. This is part of the broad strokes Gurm gave D&D and they decided to have Arya ninja assassinate the Night's King instead because they're simpletons.
>>221960329How did the Lords not come together to off the inbred fucks after the Dance, Daeron's meat grinder, and Aegon 4? Surely they had enough after all of that no?
>>221960399The lords thought the daeron meatgrinder was based, the whole reason the Blackfyres had even the semblance of a chance was because the lords quite honestly did not like the idea of Dorne joining peacefully
>>221960380Dornes brownness is overblown to be truthful
>>221960380>culture stays out of imperialist wars brought on by the (((targaryeans)))>children are well cared for with free water parks vs the other kingdoms where they raped by the elite>proud history of martial traditions and open sexuality>the best food in the seven kingdomsYeah, Dorne sounds horrible.

>>221960472>most nobles houses didnt do shitYes, and the reason they didn't do shit is because nobody really liked Daeron "the good", they just accepted him out of inertia because nobody wanted to waste their time playing at civil war again
>>221960450Cole's survivalHe will survive and join Gwayne at Tumbleton, just in time to extinguish Daeron's burning tent
>>221960428>60,000 Targ soldiers die failing to subdue Dorne>Blackfyres want to send moreWas their plan to fight to the last Targ?
>>221960377It's really egregious after the Conquest where it's said like the whole fucking country is burned, how long did that take to come back from? Was there no riots or famine or anything, nothing? They just went back to business as usual immediately?

What's the consensus on this season of HOTD? Do we like it better? I've been watching without browsing 4chan and enjoying it a lot more, though maybe it's actually better.

>>221960852WHERE IS SHE????
>>221960862Someone said he will die fighting during the first tumbleton and it make sense considering they removed the other Hightower guy.

>I AM QUEEN>I AM QUEEN>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>221960852That's the target audience, btw.
>>221960444It's an interesting parallel that the King in the North put aside his pride and crown in order to preserve his people when Aegon came but the Dornish woman sacrificed thousands and thousands of people for hers.
>>221960795>>221960850The hollywood writers thought this was a noble face turn for Alicent because to them aborting babies makes you a hero and being against baby murder means you're evil.
When will something happen?
>>221960914I AM A QUEEN, DR HAN
>>221960961heh heh heh
>>221960884Maybe Gwayne dying is what inspires Daeron to get Daring
>>221960937How is he so good at sword fighting despite being a scrawny skinny fat twink?
>>221960986...is that piss?
>>221960862NUDE. GWAYNE.
>>221960999He's fit and trim. That makes him fast and agile.
>>221960958Yeah that's quite obvious that the writers thinks that a mother pressuring her daughter into aborting her kid is a good thing (they are feminist, after all, they can't portray abortion as being bad in any way), but it's horrifying from any normal human being POV.An actual mother would tell her that the situation just took a seriously dangerous turn, that she must hide her pregnancy until they find a way out, that they must flee before someone realize it. You have to be fucking insane if the first thing that come to your mind is "let's kill the kid as soon as possible".
>>221960862Gwayne right now can have a small role as a counter to Ormund in how to raise Daeron
>>221961064I figure Alicent assumes they'll kill the kid anyway so better to do it now, and if Heleana is pregnant Rhaenyra will never let them leave like she promised she would, though at this point why bother with that

>>221961279He thought it was rhaenyra!
>>221961279Alicent paid him
>>221961064The writers thought we'd all love Alicent for this moment and hate Helaena for being an anti-abortion chud. The truly are out of touch with humanity
>>221960914why does she move her head forward when talking like chuds such as myself?
>>221961279So Rhaenyra stays the “good guy”
>>221961133Rhaenyra already made it clear multiple time that she only really wanted the usurper to be executed, and now Aemond too for various reasons, but would send all other males pretender to the wall instead of killing them.She even showed, beyond just her words, that she intend to show mercy:>Spared Ormund army>Spared the lords that supported the green faction>Spared (f)Daeron, thinking it was Daeron>Treat Alicent and Helaena like VIPIf she learn about the pregnancy, worst case scenario she would keep Helaena until the babe is born, and would not kill it even if it's a boy. Alicent is just portrayed as a psycho (or they genuinely think that it's a good look for her, I can't rule out that option since the writer is a dyke gook with a fetish for rape and humiliation).
>>221961279He is of the night
>>221960450>change for changes saketerrible, condall is a bigger hack than GURM
>>221961358it's a sign of insecurity
>>221961403how does it work?
Do Alicent and Rhaenyra kind of Lez out a bit in the book too?
>>221961369Eh, she already reneged on their agreement and then killed her dad, is planning to kill her other two sons, Alicent doesn't really trust Rhaenyra anymore I guess, plus there's other people around that might take action without Rhaenyra's direct involvement like with Blood and Cheese, Daemon or the Worm woman could do something like this again.
>>221961483No, they still haven't done it in the show even, waste of fucking time

>>221961583This is a David Lightbringer board, he triggers Freefolk redditors more than a hetero white couple.
>>221961567No of course but it was a shock she wasn't expecting which would make her more wary of Rhaenyra and the Blacks. She made a deal thinking she would be free just to see her father suddenly appear dead and now imprisoned. I keep coming back to Blood and Cheese, I wonder if Alicent thought Helaena wouldn't care because I got the impression from the show that she wasn't really that impacted by that.
>>221959501As an outsider I had low expectations for this but I'm quite enjoying it so far, aside from the black people who obviously don't belong there
>>221961637Ironically none of the blacks besides rhaena offended me.
>>221961611??kill yourself sperg
>>221961647See, Lightbringer make ya seethe! The Great Empire of the Dawn explains it all.
>>221961145Not happening, she's in episode 8. Most likely it's Cole getting killed by that blackwood whore.
>>221959501This world (asoif) has been reduced to fast food slop tier, it's sad.You can tell by how little variety there is in locations (it's either a vaguely medieval looking interior, a field, or a forest).It's cheap, it's surface level drama only women cares about, the ideological messaging is not subtle at all, the music is so bland and unremarkable that you barely even notice its existence (and it's used to tell you what you are supposed to feel at any given moment like a laugh track), it's full of plot holes and out of character moments, shit happen for chock value like the end of episode 5 and it doesn't even hit (just feel cheap and stupid), etc.It pains me to image what we could have with such worldbuilding.We could have the equivalent of a Lord of The Rings movie every week but instead here we are.

>most raped filled season>hottest victim nowhere to be seen
>>221961804I'll have to agree to that, the locations where they filmed "Tumbleton" looks really ugly and bland, they didn't even bother with location scouting, it looks like they reused the exterior of fucking Kingslanding in season 8 and I'm not even talking about Tumbleton itself that looks like fucking Timbuktu.The shot of Larys and Aegon walking in the pinewoods that some anon posted earlier was the first time the location looked decent.

>>221959501That guy played "Father" in Raised by Wolves, btw.If you watched that show, you know that the actor has a wide range of emotion and is a good actor.He play a fucking android in Raised by Wolves and display more human emotion than Alyn in HotD, where he play an actual human.Ironically, he seem more robotic and emotionless in HotD.It's clear as day that they are asking him to specifically act this way, because clearly the actor can do better than that.

How was Viserys II even confirmed to actually be him? He was lost as a child then returned years later by some seedy Jewish banker and everyone just accepted it was really him?
>>221960048Kek
>>221961893
>>221961990Aegon III said so
>>221961941All they had to do is make this family hot tan pirate dudes and they would be fan favorites. Alyn should be a top tier character. Massive fuck up.
>>221960085That was so fucking awesome.
>>221961990Aegon knew it was him
Did we ever find out what they would have her do?
>>221962065The answer is rape.
>>221960396I believe something along these lines, too. I’ve always thought that the Starks’ warning/greenseeing are a bit like the Targ’s dragon bonds and visions, and that’s why you hear multiple times, “There must always be a Stark in Winterfell.” They and their crypts are likely some kind of failsafe against the Wall’s magic failing.
>>221962065Daemon keeps telling her very unsubtly what he would have her do, I don't know why she keeps asking that stupid question everyone is very clear about what they would have her do
>>221961804>it's either a vaguely medieval looking interior, a field, or a forestThe actors walking around in forests and fields remind me of early youtubers trying their hands at film making with $0 budget.

>>221962268I dunno. Maybe that’s a shocking thing from the spoilers
>>221959501>As you may have guessed, these two pitch black niggas who follow me everywhere and are eating at your table right now are my bastard sons, your grace.>I did not...guess. But I think I see it now, because of uhh...how brave they are and such.Really?
Fucking Bros! I can't WAIT until the Hour of the Wolf when Cregan starts clearing King's Landing like a mid-level dungeon!
how many dothraki warriors could margaery handle
Game of Thrones was so good. Even after it started going down hill, for me with the Dany in Mereen stuff, it was still eminently watchable. Only the last season was total trash, but seasons 5-7 still had their moments, and plenty of them. There will never be a better fantasy series. I forgive for dying from obesity before he finishes the books.
the more I think about it the more the lannister dude teleporting in front of larys and aegon makes no sense
Imaging being Aemond and being eternally posterized. Every boy in Westeros must grow up with a metal ass painting in their bedroom of Daemon impaling him over the gods eye.
>I say Aegor, old man>I seem to find myself in a spot of bother
>>221962499The common people don't give a shit about those freaks, Jorah schooled Dany once.
>>221962499Nobody even remembers it. Never mentioned or thought about once in the actual series
>>221962272LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG
I seriously hate Rhaenyra and her bastards but this scene made me cry :(>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93AAbfdbs4s
>>221962523Maybe the uneducated swine in the north. But the rest of the realm worships the superior Targaryens.
>>221961184Mysterious shit! It’s so spooky and mysterious that all anyone will talk about is how spooky and mysterious it is! What goes on there? The locals know, but they’re not telling because it’s 2spooky even for them. And mysterious!Also goatfucking.
>>221962319It has been noted that in a mutual murder.Vhagar is, per George twice the size of Caraxes.
>>221962609technically speaking caraxes won, he ripped vaghars throat and he was able to pull himself out of the lake
>>221961381Kek
The Gay nigga really couldn't squirt one load into Rhaenyra to make everyone happy?
>>221962596I'm sure Dorne does or the Stormlanders, or the half the Reach lmao...No one likes those lizardfuckers.
>>221962567Fairly certain that the reason we never hear of it is that unlike the endless yammering about the dragonknight and young dragon the fat man hadn't conceived of the dance yet when he wrote the horrid Stark domestic scenes.
I assumed that 4 bandits that attacked Alys were North/Rivermen, when that one guy grabs her he says he is going to make her his khaleesi... Why would he say that?
>>221962272iirc Caraxes is from a breed that is bred specifically for war and battle. Certain dragons were bred for speed, some for beauty, you get the idea.
>>221960325
>>221961941I’m just glad to see him getting work. He was amazing in Raised by Wolves.
>>221962638Sure did.>Vhagar's teeth tore Caraxes's wing and her claws opened Caraxes's belly.
>>221962089Kek
>>221962654>the fat man hadn't conceived of the dance yetCriston Cole is mentioned, so he had some ideas clearly
>>221962705Yeah he did.
>>221962142It’s not just him. Many of her advisors have told her in blunt terms what they think the best course of action is only for her to answer them with “WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE ME DO!?” There could be no better indication of one’s kingly heart and spirit than repeatedly not listening to your counselors yet having no plans of your own, the hallmark of superlative leadership.

>>221962473To this day, I’ll just leave it running as background.
>>221962729>>221962796The dance was conceived since game of thrones, as a sentence in the appendix, but characters other than Aegon and rhaenyra didn’t appear until storm of swords, where aemond, criston, alyn velaryon and Otto Hightower are mentioned. Daemon is never mentioned ever
>>221962796Yeah, Jaime mentions him as a controversial kingsguard and so does Arianne Martell
>>221962841She just flits about the red keep doling out vague advice about da peepol and giving Daemon the side eye. It's what all good Master of Whispers do
>>221962918Varys constantly informed the council of things others didn't know, Mysaria isn't even the main news girl in the council, Daemon is the one who always brings up the latest news and he doesn't even have a real council position besides plapping rahenyra

If GRRM had written that they pulled some Rhoynish water magic out of their ass to explain it I'd be fine with it, but the way he wrote it is flat out retarded
>be hyped and watch every episode of AKOTSK as the episodes released>dropped HOTD season 3 on episode 3 and havent been able to continueHow do you guys do it? Even when I start scrolling on my phone when the cringe and boring scenes become too much, it doesn't even work as background noise. Shit is fucking horrible.
>>221962952Varys is too strong as he toppled 2 dynasties
>>221962878Daemon's descendant is the main character of the series. All those other fucks are extinct.
>>221962999Yeah but you would think the master of whispers could have helped find out who was plotting to murder goldcloaks
>>221963004Uhhh the main character is bran and uhhhh eheheh…..well how do I say this….heh….lets just say you’re not gonna like it….
>>221963038Yeah that sucks because she was a good master of whispers in the book.
If Otto could convince Viserys to make Rhaenyra marry the Hightower Heir all of this could have been prevented. How did he not even think to attempt it.
has GRRM credited his use of LSD for the creation of Game of Thrones?
>>221963107Because he would he consort king
>>221962878>compares himself to Tolkien >90% of the worldbuilding is bolted on 10 years into the series and results in you having to pretend the characters in the early books are retards or just turn off your brainGRRM bros... not like this>>221962903you realize those didn't occur until Feast? A decade into the series and obviously pulled out of his ass>>221960384reminder that Meraxes being killed in Dorne isn't even in the main series, it's from a semi-canon lore book that came out in 2014. That's how shit the lore is on Dorne, took GRRM 20 years to try and justify why Dorne wasn't curbstomped
>>221963107the hightower heir is Ormund right? I seem to remember that Otto is the 2nd son so he can't have Gwayne marry Rhaenyra
>>221963004>all of Daemon's kids survive the Dance>but he'd be horrified and furious at how their lives turn outAegon hates dragons and his sons are also fuck ups, Viserys usurps his niece's inheritance, and Rhaena marries a Hightower. Only one he would somewhat be happy with is Baela becoming Lady Velaryon, still a downgrade from being possible queen.
>reread fire and blood before watching this seasonall the feminist bullshit about every woman and minority character being so smart and brave, even ridiculous ones invented for the show, while the white males are so dumb is one thing, i expected itbut more importantlywhere the FUCK is mushroom? he was by far the most entertaining part of the dance of dragons in the book and he's completely absenteverything he says and does is hilariouswhy are these showrunners so allergic to any levity or humor?
I really really want to have sex with Rhaenyra
>>221962272*squeals and clicking noises*
>>221963295>In this dark hour, I became the queen's counselor, setting aside my fool's sceptre and pointed hat to lend her all my wisdom and compassion. Unbeknownst to all, it was the jester who ruled them now, an invisible king in motleybecause Mushroom was the shadow ruler of Westeros while Rhaenyra was busy being a depressed fat slob. Can't have her looking bad by including BASEDshroom
>>221963295He was too much of a shitposter
>>221963295>while the white males are so dumb is one thingLike how Aemond abandoned KL, let Cole and Lannisters get wiped out by the fucking Riverlords, and then spends his time burning useless villages instead of wiping out the Riverlords
>>221963358The dance is honestly a mess of writing, the show being worse does not excuse Grrm for churning out slop like F&B instead of winds
>>221963295do you not remember Tyrion saying that dwarf actors should not be hired to play fantasy dwarves?
>>221963295>show ends and credits start rolling>suddenly cuts to Mushroom and a Maester writing in a book>"And that's what really happened!">"Mushroom, this is garbage. Even the other version where Rhaenyra blew you was better, in fact we are going with that version."
>>221963455There was 1 midge actor in s1
>>221963358of course he wrote a bunch of dumb charactersi've only watched the first episode so far of this season-i'm just talking about shit like this super le tough and mean and also super brave and smart eastern woman sea captain who looks like the first Daario Naharis in the original showthen Jace locking Rhaenyra in the room to prove how brave she would have fought if only it weren't for the dumb boy? that didn't happen, i just read the book, why invent that? it's got plenty of strong female characters and dumb men already
>>221959501Everyone in this show has unnatural body language. They all seem to have a broomstick up their ass, all gesture is calculated and charged with fake tension. Their is no natural body language whatsoever, it's artificial and forced.
If you think the storming of the dragon pit is so unrealistic, come up with a better way to kill off all those dragons
>>221963515A fucking huge cool battle
Cole is a fucking retard. His sons could have been Kings and princes but he chose to ruin it all even though his honor was already sullied and his oaths broken.
>>221963515Yeah it doesn't make sense. Like, one or two good fire breaths and everyone would start running.
>>221963522We could call it... the dance of dragons
>>221963515Poison
>>221963542Yes imagine the dragons actually fighting
>>221963295They can't have 2 witty dwarfs, everyone would just call him knockoff tyrion
>>221963515fill the dragonpit with wildfire and bring the down all surrounding walls on top of them crushing the dragons
Are they going to make the storming of the dragon pit look like some World War Z cgi pile on of countless peasants just overtaking the dragons?
>>221963515shepherd summons The Warrior and slaughters the dragonshits
>>221963515I’d kill a massive amount of people in a firey blood sacrifice to summon a giant dragonslaying shadow demon
>>221963649Yes, during the night with minimal lighting.In total darkness even, only illuminated from time to time by dragon fire. The sound of people fighting should be enough.
a bunch of peasants somehow not fleeing when literally hundreds of them are being killed en masse by massive lizards just doesn't make sense...
>>221962970it helps to put the phone in another room if you can't help but scroll
>>221963796Dreamfyre herself would rape those fags
>>221963838there is a chance that show Dreamfyre is also very autistic like Haelena, that lil nigga has no chance against the peasants
Will we see dunks great grandfather at the storming of the dragon pit?>The Burning Knight was a man living at King's Landing during the Dance of the Dragons. He was a huge brute of a man. He was most likely not an actual knight.During the Storming of the Dragonpit, the Burning Knight slew the dragon Morghul. Encased in heavy armor, he rushed headlong into the dragonflame with spear in hand, thrusting the point into the dragon's eye repeatedly, even as the flames melted the steel and burning his fleshA huge knight from kings landing who’s not actually a knight and who’s story ends in dragon flame
>>221963913No
Did they make her too beautiful?
>>221959991That's clearly Byzantine style, he would be a Volantene soldier.
>>221963970
>>221964011
unless all the peasants have valyrian steel, realistically the storming of the dragonpit is not possible
>>221961184Satyrs, apparently
I cant remember, what is Larys' motivation again? Did he really kill his family and give up a chance to rally behind his nephews who were in line for the throne just to sniff the Queen's feet?
>>221963515Aemond flies in on Vhagar and collapses the roof on them all to reduce the blacks dragon advantage
>>221961184That’s where the cuck children live. They’re like children of the Forrest but they have horns and cucked to humans for survival while the more aggressive children were pushed north. They’re kinda retarded Pygmy things now after all these years
>>221964097We never knew his motivations at least not in the book
>>221964097>just to sniff the Queen's feet?a worthy cause
>>221961184>>221961270>Considering the size of westeros that island must be deceptively bigI'd say the Isle of Faces is about 10 miles across.
>>221959501>when your only friend is a suicidal retard that doesn't give a shit about anything
>>221963937nah they're not gonna show any knight only rag tag of brown plebs wearing roughspun dirty clothes
>>221961270>>221964166considering the fact that it's effectively a cursed no mans land that has never been properly mapped, it's impossible o say just how big the island is
>>221963515Starve the dragons in the pit to the point they eat each other
Ranked the GOT women by looks.They're also ranked within the tier, left=better
>>221965327Season 1 Arya >>>>> all of those
>>221965357Uuooh
I was looking at some clips of the later season with Drogon and honestly they feel so much more memorable for me than anything in hotd with the dragons. drogons first battle in Westeros and bronn with the scorpion.
>>221963970they/them are so cute and valid
Thoughts on this bitch?
>>221965830Another ruined characterIn the book she is a hot lesbian fighting with the riverlord host
sunfyre can still rise
>>221963515dragon chlamydia
With how comically evil they've made the greens it almost defangs Joffrey (Baratheon) and makes him look not very far off from Westerosi standards.
>>221966062Are you retarded? None of the greens are half as evil as Joffrey.
>>221964097Bastards don't carry the Strong name anymore than they carry the Targaryen one. If anything less so since they're not even pretending to be the former.
>>221965327wtf where is jon snow?
>>221966070How many people did Joff murder?>the butcher's boy>the whoreDamn what a loose cannon
>>221965830Absolutely based River queen, despite her changes from the book. I hope to see alot more scenes of her partnership with Chad Manderly of House Based.
>>221964097Larys is a free agent with no holdings to inherit or true alliances, his goals are unknown and can only be guessed at. A true chad.
>>221964097Agent of Blood Raven
>>221965327>short-hair CerseiOpinion discarded
>stopped watching after the first episodeEh, maybe one day I'll binge season 3
>>221963667it wouldn't work, dragons are the incarnation of flame and R'hllor wouldn't harm them
>>221961990Aegon III recognized him. We will never now if It was legit or depressed loner Aegon choose to believe an impostor was his lost brother out of desperation of still having a close relative alive
>>221966169It came with the Tiermaker list, I didn't pick the pictures.She's a lot better with longer hair, I agree.
>>221966123I don't want it.
NEW BREAD>>221966252>>221966252>>221966252>>221966252>>221966252>>221966252
>>221963515>come up with some event that makes all the Targaryens leave Westeros for some reason>this triggers dragon migratory instinct, without a Targaryen to exert psychic influence on them they all set out WestYou get a kino shot of all the dragons flying away, maybe make it a 30 second sequence where they fly over show landmarks in an order that makes no sense just to make fans seethe more. The dragonpit thing is just something maesters made up to make dragons seem like little bitches killable by a peasant mob.
>>221966130Joff never had any real power, if he had a dragon he would have burned cities, probably no Winterfell left after arya heemed him
>>221962499>>221962567>>221962654Fun stuff: Daemon Targaryen (Rogue Prince) was never mentioned once in any of the give ASOIAF main books. Its a character that Martin inventes for TWOIAF
>>221966218opinion now consideredHowever you have Stannis's wife in there for some reason, she's as bad as Lysa. In what world is she on the same tier as bad pussy?
The criston Cole humiliation ritual never ends. >thinks he will go out in a heroic warrior death>gets kirked
>>221966298I kind of like her big square face and big cheekbones. And the misery in her eyes. Looks like Noomi Rapace a bit
>>221966359her huge cheekbones look almost freakish to me, to each their own but it's the same reason I can never find that x23 girl attractive. I do like her eyes though.
>>221959700Because they have no balls to glass it in its entirety>oh you've retreated into the dunes and hills?>good luck surviving when everything is turned into glass and melted stone
>>221960450The whole Haelena thing probably
>>221960914>show shows her as incompetent and laying foundation to her downfall>show assumes she gets 10 minutes a day to think and give orders while she's on screen only>the rest of the time she does ????
>>221961141What's the theory?
>>221965327Bait or weird and inconsistent tastes.
>>221963259Are any of Daemon's kids even in the show? We need Aegon III and Viserys II at least.
>>221963295Because Dinklage forbade Hollywood to cast midgets and they obeyed.
>>221963649>World War Z cgi pile on of countless peasantsHoly fucking kino
>>221964059What the fuck was that even
>>221965830Could've had this
>>221966730Not bait. I've moved it to the new thread if you want to do a ranking yourself.I like lots of different women. Talisa is #1 because I like horsefaced mediterranean women. Shae is horsefaced but not in a nice way.
>>221960317Yes. And dragonriders are part dragon.
>>221966995Would be kino if the targ dragonbabies weren't always stillbirths, although they might have to be kept locked up at Dragonstone so the smallfolk wouldn't flip.
