Just finished DWD. I'm finding it hard to give much of a gently caress about any of the new characters, and everyone I do care about is dying. I guess if he kills off Dany and Tyrion I can just stop reading. Also where is Rickon, I can't loving remember.

I assume she figures that Dany's story is the real story and when it actually gets anywhere the plot will have moved, but otherwise I'm at a loss.

I was actually unreasonably happy to see Rickon for all of 30 seconds. And even better, he's smashing things! Excellent foreshadowing on a character that no one remembers and eventually wanders off into nowhere, HBO! No, really. Rickon and Shaggydog hold so many of my hopes for an OHSHIT scene in books GRRM will never, ever write. In the meantime, all my glee goes to ~~~My Gendry~~~ My favorite fucker in GoT? Lancel. It's his ridiculous loving hair and his stupid weasel face. I just can't get over how perfectly he matches my imagination. empty sea fucked around with this message at 05:28 on May 2, 2012 |

Not so much Dany as the dragons. I'm a huge dork for dragons and I still hold out hope that they'll eventually get around to wrecking poo poo instead of eating random people. A girl can dream, dammit.

Greyscale gives you giant Disney cartoon hands. Also, gently caress HBO forever for cutting Shireen and Poolboy or whatever his name is. His predictions are way more accurate than Quaithe, Melisandre, Mirri, Maggie, and the Reeds combined. I know I know.

It's probably some asinine bullshit, like they think people will confuse Patchface with that lobster from "The Little Mermaid" because of the under the sea lines, the way they think their viewers are so profoundly broken as human beings that they will confuse "The Others" with the "The Others", that is, mistake the seven foot tall ice zombies from a magic fantasy world for the vague assholes on some show about vague rear end in a top hat poo poo and plane crashes. As I recall, they also feared the viewers would confuse Asha and Osha even though they're completely different characters, the names aren't pronounced the same, and the two never interact in any way and the only way to make that mistake is to be a heinous moron who has no understanding of context and can only process what's going on right on the screen at any given time while picking nits of his mate's hair.

Not only will you accidentally typo the wrong person into a scene, but absolutely guaranteed you will hear angry things from people who were completely confused somehow that the wildling girl hanging out with the crippled boy in the snowy place is somehow also hanging out in viking land and was that ugly guy's sister the whole time. And yet, Ed, Edd, and Eddy was a successful cartoon for a number of years. So maybe the problem is adults are generally too goddamn stupid.

How can the fat drunk king who was killed by a pig also be a little frail child who is breastfeeding at 10 years old? This is too complicated.  I'm gonna go back to watching that stupid rear end in a top hat airplane show about polar bears and smoke monsters for assholes.

Arya will have to be Dog of the Canals in case we confuse her with her mother. Edit: No, then we'll wonder why her face isn't half burned. She'll have to be Fox of the Canals.

hailthefish posted:But.. the perspective.. it's.. Perfect. See, Patchface inhabits his own reality, under the sea. Under the sea, the things above look distorted (I know, I know, etc etc). That's why the perspective shifts suddenly when Shireen's hand pierces the Haters Gonna Hate bubble. It's totally a valid artistic decision and not a really lovely fanfic

Ambiguatron posted:".It's a lot harder to get confused like that in a book, especially with the levels of repetition GURM is capable of. In time-constrained TV Land it might only be explicitly stated once that minor character X has relationship R to character Y, any other hints to that you'd have to glean from context. Hell for many characters they only get named maybe once and their role/station needs to be done in the background of a couple scenes and that's it. Plus with books you have to focus a bit more anyway. When I first watched The Departed it was about 15 minutes into the movie that I finally realized Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon were two different people. They're never in the same scene and to me they basically look alike (yeah I know I suck), so for a while I was really confused because I thought the movie had some weird double-double-double crossing going on where the guy was a mob plant in the police force, but was actually working under cover inside the mob, but was actually brought up by the mob and was loyal to them. On a re-watch it of course all made sense, I just wasn't paying much attention the first time. In other words TV and movies make us stupid.

Well, yes, it is true the good artists know when to bend and break rules. It's probably not recommended to include a scene where a little girl has sex with multiple little boys in the sewers, but Stephen King is a master of his craft and he made That Scene work, goddamn it. I think the real answer, though, is that Robert Baratheon and Robert Arryn are simply addressed differently beyond the mere context of their existances and you have to be a particular idiot to get confused in the book, let alone the loving series where one is clearly a pre-pubescent child. I can understand being concerned North American audiences might get Asha and Osha confused, given how those same audiences react generally towards media in British English to begin with, but some of the changes are really silly and speak to a total lack of faith in the audience.
