Aww. Now I'm sad. Came back looking for the Bad Thread as an antidote to my friends sperging on how good the book's going to be, and all I find is it's rotting corpse. Truly, the Gurm's reach knows no limits.

Rootbeer Baron posted:This is so ridiculous I'm having trouble even believing it. Is Dance like 100% Dany porno/Theon sadism? Also I don't believe the thing about going down on the girl on the wedding night because god drat I don't want to imagine anyone writing that let alone Martin (but if anyone would...) It's torture porn and pedo bait. These are things GRRM gets off on. How have you gotten this far without realizing it? It's like not noticing that he brutally murders any character his fans take a liking to just to be edgy.

Solice Kirsk posted:You're lucky cause this is exactly what is going to happen. I think our only real shot is if the HBO show catches up with the books (only 5 more seasons so definitely before Winds of Winter). That will be a slim chance though since the TV show is good but expensive (like Deadwood) so HBO will pull the plug on it after 3-4 seasons. Possibly next season since Clash was Feast 1.0. It's pretty much a given that HBO will drop the series before we ever see Dance on-screen. Gurm's creepy fetishes are too inherent to the story at this point to be cut for TV without a major re-write.

Goby posted:Better yet, he and Dany die. The dragons get killed after being used to defeat the others and all the prophecies and gods turn out to be false because the Maesters and Varys spread them and magic is eliminated from Westeros forever. This is what would happen if you let Goodkind write the rest of the series. That said, this sums up what Winds of Winter should be. Just replace Joffrey with Dany. http://youtu.be/rxLOXUGmRKI Liquid Communism fucked around with this message at 10:51 on Jul 15, 2011 |

So, what's our bet on the next even minimally likable character to die a pointless and horrible death? I'm betting on Bran.

Factor_VIII posted:Yeah. I had found it an incredibly boring read. The only reason I ever finished it was that I had taken it with me when I was at a hospital and my choices for passing the time were reading the Silmarillion or staring at the ceiling. That's kinda the thing with it. Christopher Tolkien apologized for ever publishing it, because it isn't a book, it's a massive stack of worldbuilding notes.

my cat is norris posted:Mercedes Lackey is not a good read as an adult. I say this as someone who was devoted to the Valdemar series in my youth. The mercenaries books hold up a lot better than Valdemar, but they're pretty much explicitly just the classic Conan-style hack and slash fantasy for feminists, so you would expect them to.

Cornwind Evil posted:You know, since most everyone in this thread has already come to the foregone conclusion that this book series will never finish, GRRM will die, his notes will be burned, and the TV Show will be cancelled after adapting the five written books, I must ask, if you were tasked to finish the series, how would you do it? Jon returns from the dead having seen a true vision of just how useless all their preparations are in the face of the oncoming Winter, and snapping, decides he just wants to watch the world burn. Six months later, Westeros lies in ashes, and Dany finally shows up only to have her throat slit by Arya. The book ends on Jon and Arya laughing in the ruins of Winterfell as the Others pour through the shattered Wall. Nobody wins, everyone dies, and the world is smothered in darkness and cold forever. This is what these fuckstains of characters deserve.

Man, it's like watching our own evolution into a bunch of bitter assholes all over again. Truly, today all men know the gurm.

Junkenstein posted:They're allowed to do that between seasons, I think. I believe Rarity makes a post describing all the adaptation changes and choices, although some stuff (like The Tower of Joy scene) is off-limits for whatever reason. I'm sure there is a reason. I'm sure it's also as loving retarded as GRRM is fat and greasy.

Hiro Protagonist posted:I read the first book of the series and already got the Mary Sue shivers. From what I hear it does not get any better. The reactions only enforce this. Do you like food porn and description of light coming through windows? Because outside of whatever bullshit way the Gurm decides to punish any attempt of his characters to act like decent people, that's all the series really has to offer.

davecrazy posted:Too bad the show runners had a hard on for their old dual wield Ranger D&D character instead of making Dane fight with a big fuckoff great-sword. Of course Ned is supposed to have a big gently caress off great-sword too...but bad TV show is bad. Like why even change those details? Some stunt coordinator thought it would look more bad rear end the way they did it vs the way GRRM wrote it? Better question. Why did Dane only have one guy with him? Could they not afford enough extras to cast both Gerold and Oswell?

Fhate posted:I suspect the reason they didn't have Ned and Arthur Dayne fighting with great swords is likely due to the fact that realistic, metal great swords are quite massive, making them fairly dangerous even when blunt. In order to make them safe for the actors to use, they'd probably have to be so flexible they'd look completely ridiculous or have them never actually clash. I mean, it's certainly possible to accomplish a scene with realistic great sword vs. great sword action, it would just be difficult, time consuming and probably pretty dangerous. They did have the mountain wielding a pretty drat big sword when he fought Oberyn, but banging a spear point against one is probably safer than banging an equally heavy blade against it. They're really not that bad. What they like to call a 'greatsword' would happily stand in for the German longsword, and those are under 5lbs, historically speaking. Even the actual greatswords, the 6 foot long behemoths, are under 8lbs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Umi_HUoLdl0&t=122s A bit of an example of what we could have seen, that's actual competition, though.

Honestly, I think they're happier about it this way. The Starks are effectively broken as a house until Sansa gets her poo poo together.
