Neither show nor book Euron is an interesting character, he pales in comparison to Victarion.

Vinnie Jones as Danny and when she negotiates with Cersei it's the gun scene from Snatch but instead of Desert Eagle it's dragons.

chaosapiant posted:I DO think that the Dunk/Egg stories (what I've read so far, I'm working through them now) would be easy to adapt well to an HBO series or even a movie per story. They have a much tighter character focus and a more broad appeal. Triple H could play Dunk. Tom Hopper/Dickon might be a good Dunk, he's appropriately massive and has the right look.

Is Euron supposed to be handsome? I always picture him as looking similar to the warlocks in the House of the Undying. And yea, didn’t even think of Mads; he’d have been perfect for Euron and a number of other roles.

I'm holding out for an "early Targaryens"/Fire-and-Blood series when HBO realizes all their spinoff ideas are bad and should feel bad, and we get Mads as either Aegon or Maegor the Cruel. He'd be a good book Euron, but I think Maegor would be even better, because even with the Master-written slant to that story, the dude is a downright Shakespearean character. Also his official art literally looks like Mads Mikkelsen at a Renn Faire, so.

Eh, Daario was a character I never expected to be book accurate. If Drogo didn’t get his hair bells, Daario wasn’t going to get his extravagant weirdo look. He’s a blue haired Zevran from Dragon Age if I remember correctly.

How hard would it be to just put an older long-haired guy in a long coat, slap an eye patch on him, and have him say cryptic poo poo as his deck hands sacrifice a red priest to Cthulhu?

But we’ll see. r/freefolk is at the point where people are coming out of the woodwork and posting contradictory “leaks” as they work through the denial and bargaining stages of grief over the show’s awful writing.

The symbolic decline of the series started when season 3 rolled into season 4 and they recast Ed Skrein’s Daario, who, despite not looking like book Daario appropriate captured his feel. They cast a non-descript hot guy who looked nothing like Skrein and was devoid of personality and charm.

Speaking of Benjen, since the show replaced Coldhands with ColdBen, has that been confirmed that the theory that Benjen=Coldhands was right all along?

Oh, please let this be true. It's so gloriously dumb. They should have Cersei pop up on the walls with, like, ten dragons, too. "Turns out we found these in the Red Keep! They hatch real easy, no sacrifice needed, and for some reason these ones are ballista-proof. Isn't it wild? Oh, by the way, I sent the Golden Company to burn down your precious House with the Red Door across the narrow sea. Then the ironmen took turns pooping on the ashes. And Qyburn developed a way to talk to the dead, contacted Khal Drogo and he said your pussy was trash."

I’m willing to bet Coldhands will never be confirmed one way or the other and he never appears again in the story. ColdBen was just the show unable to give in to any subtlety or mystery

I was wondering how the show would handle him. He appears in the books and it's kinda "what the gently caress is THAT" and then the story just moves on. But when you see it on TV, it'd stick out like a sore thumb. They did the right move.

I guess GRRM confirmed that Benjen *isn't* Coldhands, so that means Coldhands is probably nobody special and is just a dead body that the Three-Eyed Raven wargs into Fine, whatever

Speaking of babies, I wonder if one of the next episodes is going to have Dany rub her belly and be all "ermagerd my nephews sperm took root and I'm no longer barren! Awesome but nasty!" Then we have baby AeJon StarGaryan. Snow finds another wolf to bang and they have little baby dire -wolves with wings because dragons! Then Cersei rides Ser Robert Strong into battle while he sits on a Qyburned dead dragon but what's this? Qyburn is actually the Night King? Then who was the Night King we killed? WHAT? THAT WAS THE BLACKFISH? ARYA KILLED THE BLACKFISH AND THE REAL NIGHT KING IS QYBURN! And then yada yada Pepsi Twist.

they should probably have left randyll tarly (or dickon? one of em) alive so we could have a more recognizable final miniboss than harry strickland that'd strengthen the Mad Queen Dany turn i guess - having someone whose family she burned, as the lannisters' last general Mike N Eich posted:I guess GRRM confirmed that Benjen *isn't* Coldhands, so that means Coldhands is probably nobody special and is just a dead body that the Three-Eyed Raven wargs into if GRRM wanted to reveal coldhands and have it be an eerie moment, it could be some ancestor Stark bran would recognize like "oh poo poo, it's king bran XIV who vanished 1000 years ago"
