Hakkesshu posted:No official dub, the show has never actually been officially released in the west until like last year. Maybe the new show has a dub, I'm not sure. Yeah I always compare it more to the books, tbh. It has more in common w/r/t the politicking to aSoIaF than Game of Thrones does. But it's still different. esperterra fucked around with this message at 23:15 on May 23, 2019 |

Several people I knew were convinced this was happening (along with a Jon Snow explores the north spinoff) despite no supporting evidence and it also being clear that the lead actors of GOT are done with this franchise.

Given the much better tech/magic this world clearly had at some point it seems very unlikely that no-one would have ever made it successfully to Westereros (assuming it exists). I like to imagine there is a whole 21st century level civilization on the other side of the ocean that has written the whole old world off as a terrifying dumpster fire.

On the other side of the ocean is Kalimdor. There Arya will find Orcs and great horned demon cows.

West of Westeros is Easterous because its a globe but to make it clearer the name is 'East of Westerous' or 'Essos' for shorthand notation.

Braavos is Not-Venice, the Dothraki are Not-Mongols, Volantis is Not-Byzantium, Meereen is vaguely Middle Eastern, and while technically in Westerns Dorne is Not-Moors. The story is actually kind of realistic in that everyone considers themselves civilized and everyone else backwards .

Spain was ruled by Moors for several centuries actually. In fact "Moorish Spain" is probably a more accurate descriptor of them than "Moors" or "Non-Moorish Spain". They have a whole thing where they have non Not-European ethnicities ruling and weird foreign traditions. The Ironborn are much more explicitly Not-Vikings in the books, with their ships there being longships and them enslaving people as "Thralls". Though your right the North has a fair bit of "Snowy Beserkerland with runes" going for them along with being Scotland.

Having had time to process the ending, two things really stand out Drogon burns the Iron Throne... only for Bran to be declared King. Arya's whole arc was about getting back to her family... only to leave for westereros. Just wow.

christmas boots posted:I honestly don't feel that Westeros has enough going on to justify a south america sized landmass Given that the North is supposed to be as big as the rest of the seven kingdoms combined, and there's a shitton more land north of the Wall I could kind of see it. But GRRM definitely didn't consider any of that poo poo when he was making it all up. IIRC going from King's Landing to Winterfell by horse takes like a 3-4 weeks in the book, which I'm not sure would matches up to how long it would take to go from one end of South America to the other by the same method of transportation.

I think it's fair to say one could do 30 miles a day on a horse. Like you could do more if you're a soldier on a fit horse but idk about doing that every day for a 3-4 week travel... Robert's wagon train was definitely not doing more than 20-30 miles a day. That means it's about 800-1000 miles from Winterfell to KL, maybe add some hundreds for when they had to go slower or around terrain features. The South American continent is about 4500-4750 miles North to South. Eh. There's maybe another 400 miles South from KL. GRRM's scale is just off.
