I'm not usually a fan of like "oh I would have written it this way" stuff, but I was watching the Kristen Bell "Hot Ones" and they started talking Game of Thrones, and her messy ending where Dany doesn't just like immediately die from being stabbed once and instead it turns into a screaming fight where Jon has to really go after her would have been loving amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOlQWNGAAbM&t=1351s

Saint Drogo posted:gently caress it. just have a full on boss fight with Drogon lurking behind her, laying down AOE attacks and forcing Jon hide behind pillars between melee phases. Her typical schtick, in my opinion, is more "funnily realistic reactions to sitcom situations". But she is too forking good for this world.

It's pretty clear she's not talking about Dany actually going toe-to-toe with Jon, just that it could have been a lot messier and emotionally wrenching if there was any kind of struggle.

UltraRed posted:Posting to remind people that the Umber going home to recruit men, then having the Night King nail him to the wall with those patterns that turned out to mean absolutely nothing, made no sense. Most likely the reason why the white walkers were such a dud is that the upcoming GoT spinoff/prequel is all about white walkers. It's all dumb.

As far as I know it's currently being filmed lmao

Still lollin that Jon's parentage, arguably the entire reason the rebellion happened, amounted to him riding a dragon like two times.

Okay so cause I liked the show when it was good I'm reading the first three books and gonna stop there. I'm sick of CreepyRMartins weird sex hangups leaking into the text (milky teats *shudder*) but do like the kinda iron Age british myth making that permiates the north of the wall/brans raven quest plus stuff ripped from English history sections of the story. Can anyone recommend any similarly themed historical fiction, preferably without milky teats?

Johnathon Strange and Mr. Norrell might tickle your fancy plus it's a pretty good book either way.

R. Scott Bakker’s Prince of Nothing trilogy is a fantasy retelling of the First Crusade, but the sex poo poo is even weirder than GRRM, so it might not be up your alley.

Jack-Off Lantern posted:
I mean people are into weird sex stuff. There are fetishes which range from the hilarious to the outlandish. "Liking milky tits" doesn't actually seem that out there to me. It's definitely an extant fetish. Do you really think it's a form of characterization that fantasy authors overuse so much? I feel like Americans, in particular, have a real puritanical streak, and start to get uncomfortable the moment sex strays from non-miscegenated, cis, missionary sex. I remember when there was a sex scene in the movie Splice, and a lot of American audiences talked about the scene or laughed at it, and the director was interviewed and he said Americans basically just need to grow up. In Europe people didn't make a big deal out of the scene, because you know, they have a far more mature relationship with the fact that human beings have sex. Bold Robot posted:R. Scott Bakker’s Prince of Nothing trilogy is a fantasy retelling of the First Crusade, but the sex poo poo is even weirder than GRRM, so it might not be up your alley. I don't think you're giving a fair or accurate representation of how weird and gross and bizarre those books are.

I'm not sure it's fair to classify all fantasy authors with the ones who were actively abusive, though if there's a much higher incidence of that inside the author community that's a cause for concern. Sorry for accusing you of being American.

In Europe we don’t have these weird hang ups about loving our genetically engineered super children while our wives watch. You have a little growing up to do America

I've never heard of this movie but lol at the gifs that popped up when I searched for it. I think maybe people were weirded out by that scene because it wasn't human beings having sex.

Oh yeah, even setting aside the BLACK DEMON SEED poo poo, the author's cuckold fixation shapes the plot and the characters' interactions in a very big way, so it's really the opposite of what OP asked for
