Myshkin Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I think we can all agree that ASoIaF is the greatest piece of literature in the history of the written word. And I think we all already know, despite the fact that it has not aired yet, that GoT is the best piece of cinamatic art to ever grace the screen, big or small. So I posit that due to its utter dominance in two artistic mediums ASoIaF is the single greatest artistic endeavor in all of human history. Now you might be saying "tell us something we don't know", so I will go further; I argue that ASoIaF is the greatest thing ever known to man. Nothing ever invented, created, or discovered is better than ASoIaF. Try to argue with that, I dare you. And if you happen to believe any part of what I just said, please post your agreement in this thread, rather than creating a new thread about it. Now let's see how long it takes for the trolls to start hating. Go ahead trolls, I've done my research, you can't assail my factual position!

I hate Catelyn Stark! Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 What can I say? When you're right, you're right. At least about the books. To me it is the greatest literature ever created. It's shockingly good. Too early yet to judge the TV series. It will probably be good, but I doubt it will live up to the greatness of the books. I know they already screwed up Catelyn Stark's (I hate her) character by making her oppose Ned's (RIP) move to King's Landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandurang Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 "Of course the tallest monument in Paris is the Eiffel Tower, named for the visionary engineer who designed it, Fred Tower. The good news is, there are elevators to the top. The bad news is, pretty much the entire tourist population of Europe is up there taking flash pictures of itself. There are so many people crowded into the smallish observation area that you get the feeling, crazy as it seems, that the whole darned Eiffel Tower is going to topple over. Ha ha! In fact this has happened only twice since 1991." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Miserables? Anna Karenina? The Da Vinci Code? All great novels, all utter trash when compared to ASoIaF.I happen to agree with your wonderfully constructed collection of consecutive organized words, though Sliced Bread might disagree.Fuck sliced bread.

kennyken Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 well Da Vinci Code is pretty terrible so i'll leave that one, i think War and Peace is better also Shakespeare ( which can kinda be counted as literature) this isn't doubting that ASOIAF is awesome it's just in order for it to be great the ending needs to be as great as the beginning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolstoy is a badass (but not as awesome as GRRM), but shakespeare is a screenwriter at best. There's really no comparison, even if the story doesn't have an end yet. And really shakespeare sucked at endings anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan's Daughter Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Simply because I am a fresh, new ASoIaF fan and just recently finished all the books that are out so far, AND am completely obsessed with it and super excited for the TV series... I will agree that it is one of the greatest things ever! :wideeyed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't see what Tolstoy's living conditions have to do with anything. And everyone knows that Shakespeare was a talentless hack whose reputation was built on the back of British colonial rule.

I hate Catelyn Stark! Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 kennyken is no fun. And Shakespeare is way overrated. "Boil, boil, toil and trouble" my @$$.How can that compare to "There are no men like me. There is only me"? Answer - it can't. End of discussion.
