I never saw the banner. I am more disappointed about that than by season 8.

Barudak posted:Whole thing could have been fixed if Episode 9 was in universe historians commenting about the Song of Ice and Fire was clearly Stark dynasty propoganda and how there is no historical evidence that the red wedding or the starks killed at it ever existed and they discuss on what actual historic evidence tells us and what details were specifically added by the author in order to curry more favor with Ned Stark the 3rd who was the reigning emperor at the time since the book was actuall written at least 50 years after the events it theoretically depicts. It should have ended like this- After Drogon flies off with Dany's corpse we fade into....present day Westeros. It's sorta like our world, but like, the clothes are slightly different and the cars have three wheels or something. There's a professor standing in the ruins of the Red Keep, speaking to a tour group. Professor - "...and it was here, 800 years ago, that the final Targayrn claimant to the throne died, and following her death, the Seven Kingdoms fractured into five, and then four, and well, we all know our own history don't we. Of course, there were really never dragons, they were only a metaphor for the sophisticated weaponry of Essostic technology....." blah blah blah more of this sort of poo poo. He then goes to his office and opens up his email. There's a message from a research team in the far north - they've been looking for ruins of Free Folk (wildling is a slur now) settlements. URGENT reads the subject line. Professor comments something droll like "hmmm I suppose their wifi is spotty again" and he opens up the message. Message text is short - The dead walk. The old legend is true. I seen it with my own eyes. Professor- "nonsense, it is just a fairy tale." And then the theme song kicks in again, but it's an electro remix.

Try being a modern audience and understand the implied passage of time. Watch the Expanse. The vast distances between places creates half of the tension. You can't just go somewhere, it's an endeavor and if you gently caress up you're millions of miles from help and alone.

Thranguy posted:Tyrion being left out of the book was some bull, too. Even if nothing he did as Hand or on the battlefield was considered noteworthy, his capture motivated the Lannister mobilization, he spent most of the wars being blamed for Bran's fall and Joffrey's death, he married Sansa, killed Tywin, and installed Bronn and house blackwater to a great holding. Yeah, I paused it on each page of the kingsguard book. That book states Jeoffrey was killed by Tyrion. Weird that wouldn't get mentioned in a book about king successions. As a non-book reader. Did GRRM's Ice and Fire not mention him in that specific book?

A man in alt-history seventies fashion explains to you the wonders of ancient winterfell but pronounces it how it would have sounded during the kingsmoot period instead of modern A woman with a magnificent perm is filmed in a woodpaneled room, explaining why its obvious with historical evidence the portion about Samwell suggesting democracy was a later addition made shortly after the signing of the Great Accord which established what would one day become parliment.

Tyrion, I think, has more appearances than any other character, and the one book in which he doesn’t appear is full of characters wondering where he is and what he’s up to.

Song of Ice and Fire is the series name, not a specific book, and Tyrions mentioned or a major point-of-view character in most of them BTW for non book readers, one of the things GRRM does is that he switches perspectives, some chapters are from good character point of view (jon, eddard, arya etc), and some are from bad character point of view (cersei narrates a view chapters, some of the greyjoys, etc). And then other chapters are omni where GRRM just tells you what's happening from a gods eye view. It's actually a pretty fun way to read a story

Cersei and Jaime chapters, but especially Tyrion chapters, are fantastic for this. Also I don't think there are any "omni" chapters. The closest we get are the pro and epilogues where we follow a perspective that is exclusive to that segment and maybe only briefly mentioned somewhere else and never again (the first prologue for instance is from the perspective of the Night's Watchman who first encounters the living dead and flees south to be beheaded by Ned).

Why is Brienne allowed to just walk onto set and write whatever in that book? Whose job is it normally to write in that book? Shouldn't a professional watch over it?

The Dorne guy then dies pointlessly.

The Dorne guy then dies pointlessly. Probably, and to be honest, Brienne chapters also seemed overtaken by narrative rather than character, not that I should complain. The chapter where the grizzled priest (played on the show by Al Swearengen) does his monologue on why the common man doesn't give a gently caress about any games over any thrones, that was some of the best writing GRRM ever did

Did the night kning show up 1000s of years ago. And the targa show up 100s? The targa weren't there for 6000 years right? (Not that that will stand in the way of any of this)

Try being a modern audience and understand the implied passage of time. This would work if anything about the way the characters acted implied time has passed or that zigzagging all over the continent was an ordeal in any way. But I understand how such writing nuances would be lost on GoT apologists.
