If the Beatles where around now(not that much of a fan, only using for dramatic purposes) that famous line would read " we're bigger than Game of Thrones". There is no other excuse for this type of sloppy writing & plot progression/direction, sexism, homophobia, racism, etc etc other than "you're still gonna watch". NAILED IT! Enough said!

teemo Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 I can't believe this has 1,400 upvotes on the Song of Ice and Fire subreddit, not even the GoT one. It's the subreddit for the so-called "bookwalkers."

Howard (Conan's author) adapted that from a quote attributed to Genghis Khan. In his Compendium of Chronicles, Rashid-al-Din Hamadini quotes Genghis Khan as saying, "The greatest enjoyment of a man is to overcome his enemies, drive them before him, snatch what they have, to see the people to whom they are dear with their faces bathed in tears, to ride their horses, to squeeze in his arms their daughters and women." Translations vary, of course. That sounds like what'd D$D are trying to do to GRRMs work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is Dan and Dave again saying fuck you to their critics. You didn't like the bad pussy, too bad bitches, we got our Emmys yo. Why else call attention to it except as a middle finger gesture?

Where was the Nietzschean pushing of the wheel seeking the will to power? The riddle of steel? There is so much more to that film than that single throw away line so often quoted. Of course, these writers would try to take it and make it their own. Poorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also imagined "Oops I did it again" to Jaime returning with his 2nd child killed on his watch. (Hit me Cersei one more time...i). What about a Sandsnakes fan vid to the unforgettable "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"? Y'know, with their best fight scenes! Slapsies! Kinslaying! I wish I was capable of doing this stuff; I'm sure we'd come up with something suitable for St. Tyrion, too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotherofStrife Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I hate the bad white pussy :((( Joking aside, what the hell kind of mess was Dorne? Now there is no ruler, no heir, no nothing in Dorne. Are we to believe that the bastard paramour of the last ruler's brother (who kills the ruler) will sit on the throne now? That's just crazy. Will Obara sit on the throne? I mean, what's the end game? Is there one even?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Obara sit on the throne? I mean, what's the end game? Is there one even?? The show has never explicitly determined there is no other Martell (a female, possibly Arianne) running around. With the lack of Dornish Laws of succession, the show pretty much outright confirmed Trystane is the heir to Sunspear but it's entirely possible at Sunspear there's a female Dornish heir that the Sand Snakes/ Ellaria/ D&D don't hate so much. It's a stretch but there's nothing in the show to prove otherwise at this point in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll pretend Dorne never happened, that's also the reason why Carol wasn't swearing vengeance or anything. I dare to say there will be no repercussions seen whatsoever that don't affect the Lannisters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's backtracking and retconning all over the place. I bet it's been years they read any of the books. GRRM may have told them what he's planning and even then they have no obligation to follow that. But I think they'll try anyway in their half-assed way and fail big time, like they always do. See, I think they don't really care. So there is no endgame for any of the storylines, because, they change things on a whim. You know, everything makes sense to them creatively, because they want it to happen. Screw logic, story progression, consistency, character motivations, plot, themes etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wouldn't be too bad, since surprisingly they kept Bronn alive last year, and he is literally the only thing that could make anything related to Dorne or the Sand Snakes bearable in any way, shape or form.
