I don’t watch this trash, I just read the thread’s reactions and I figure I get all the salient points. Any parts worth seeing (fake Sansa, etc) get posted in here anyway.

The same way he wipes his rear end, with a towel on a stick.

But the question now is, is it the same stick?

GRRM literally almost died from acute shitdick. What does your heart tell you?

All I remember from Dance was that a baby died on the second page and also the last page.

Endings are pretty tough. Like 80% of the characters are going to die in battles, and for a lot of them, fans will be going back over their journeys and going "well what was the point of all that?"

The real game isn’t the ending, it’s the rapes they did along the way

I mean sure...it's a stretch and I could see Hillary presenting herself in that light as prez, but I doubt terrorist bombing your local church with thousands of civilian casualties would've been her secret M.O. lol

OMG Hillary, that church full of your political enemies you blew up had innocent women and children inside!

Hillary: "My political enemies were in there?"

"Blew? Like, with a fan?"

I don't see how WoT isn't a huge disaster. I mean that single episode of the prologue that got released like 5 years ago was actually pretty good. However, the WoT is loving endless with meandering often meaningless sub-plots and minor characters. Maybe they'll just cut it down to the obvious protagonist. Even that would probably go on for like, 8 seasons.

The adventures of Mat would probably be a decently paced show.

Did this not have one of those post-mortems where D&D vigorously stroke their egos about what everything really meant?

I didn’t read the books and don’t plan to. In the show, did the three-eyed raven serve any purpose whatsoever? Why did he exist? He did a bit of exposition, but it was mostly pointless.

Well, you see, in 2012 we found out that he existed and that he lived in a tree, and then the Mountain That Does Not Write put down the keyboard and now it’s 2019.

Every book after the third is just about as solid as Dany’s bowel movements.

The dude modeled the poo poo in the books after the War of the Roses and everything in it - weird sex stuff, grisly executions, etc. - was par for the course in uncomfortably recent history.

He was throwing it in to show the kind of twisted realty of the era most fantasy novels are set in actually was - and that they sweep under the rug.

The setup with Dani is uncomfortable? Yeah, it is, and it's supposed to be.

If you want unbelievably over-the-top sexual deviancy for pure pandering and shock value then GRRM has nothing on, say, Philip Jose Farmer. Go find 'A Feast Unknown' and see the most ridiculous poo poo the 70's had to offer.

All I remember from Philip Jose Farmer was Riverworld, and how literal Himmler recanted his nazi ways and nobly sacrificed himself to save humanity (after being killed on sight repeatedly by the protagonists).
