I'm glad that it won't be possible for almost any of that to happen in the books that we may or may not get before GURM dies of fat

now wait a minute are they saying in the show that robert strong is really just gregor clegane in a disguise? the book made it clear that a bigass skull got mailed somewhere else so he had to have a different head on the old giant body if he wasn't a frankensteinean horror top to bottom

I'm generally just pretty glad that I only started reading the books the year DwD came out and avoided the show entirely after watching a few scenes that looked a lot less grandiose than my mental image had been from the book.

Spfcly the tourney where they say the King used his superhuman medieval general shout to get the mountain to chill in the book, and he just kinda grumbles it in the show.

Probably my biggest nerd rage in this show is that apparently the society has been like this for thousands of years. You'd think they'd be evolving like normal societies but no we still have dark age technology and poo poo. I point this out because 'oh we made a big crossbow' is clearly some form of technological marvel, you think with the explosive green stuff guns would be on the way and in 500 years it would be like WWI GoT with machine guns or something which would be cool.

I guess really that's why I can't get into fantasy like this and Star Wars. My autism should allow me to enjoy it but instead my autism makes me hate it. I'd rather watch Game of Trains or something.

Also I'm still kind of annoyed that it appears 'oh a huge load of dragon glass is in dragon stone that no one knew about at all but Samwell found it' is going to be the big plot point that will help the people against the ice guys. Like how am I going to believe no one ever knew about that?

Show bad

china stayed socially stagnant for over a millenium before

and in the show poo poo like that green fire depended on magic and all the magic went to sleep

magic kind of rules poo poo and the one place that was supposed to have fancy technology 1000s of years ago got killed by a meteor or something

also with the decade long winters people probably focus on survival more than anything else

poo poo after the revolution they didnt even change the government at all

same fuckers in charge as before, new king same as the old king incest and all

In the books he has no head. They sent it to Dorne.

in the books you dont know what's going on under the helmet because he appears once, and he's talked about once, and there's nothing else known yet

he probably has someone else's head, and it's too small so the helmet is bolted onto his neck or some poo poo

orrrrrr qyburn pulled out his bones to mail to dorne to cover his tracks and the hlemet is robert strong's skin

Admittedly I haven't seen the latest episode but I'm sure it was some bullshit cowardice :colbert:


Well but you have to read between the lines with these books.

Exhibit A: The skull sent to Dorne was notably huge - they didn't send them a fake

Exhibit B: Bran's vision - "There were shadows all around them. One shadow was dark as ash, with the terrible face of a hound. Another was armored like the sun, golden and beautiful. Over them both loomed a giant in armor made of stone, but when he opened his visor, there was nothing inside but darkness and thick black blood."

Circumstantial I guess but in the books you can't see inside his helmet, a few different characters mention it iirc.

Yeah maybe there's some skin puppet thing going on in there or it's someone else's head but his head is definitely removed from his body and in Dorne.

ill bet qyburn glued some random rear end in a top hat's brain into the helmet

oh gently caress what if it was tywin's brain, would it have gone sour yet?

there could be any brain in there, poo poo there could be like 3 brains in a big pile

They should just go ok gently caress it, gently caress GRRM's notes, Khaleesi falls off a dragon, a falling chandelier wipes out Sansa and Jon at dinner, Cersei now has to unfuck Westeros, deal with the walkers and defend her butt from Euron while Arya keeps popping out of the shadows stabbing at her like Inspector Clouseau's manservant. Just loving wing it. How much worse can it get.
