  1. For what it's worth, I believe the sample Arianne Martell chapters, for WoW feature her name and not "insert title". Naturally this could change for the final book, but I get the feeling she'll be given a bigger role in that book, since she'll basically be our eyes into the Faegon camp and possibly even marry him. I know we already have JonCon as our eyes in that camp, but his life expectancy isn't very long and he's also possibly going to lose his mind as well.
  2. He didn't give Dany those ships, she took them from him and Illyrio was just alright, with her basically stealing from him. You have to remember those ships were just suppose to bring Dany back to Pentos. While on her way to Pentos, Dany takes command of them and orders them to Slavers Bay. Listen, we're going around in circles here. I will admit, that Illyrio and Varys conversation in the first book, does tell us that both of them are working for a 4th faction. I'm just saying that as far as ADWD goes, Faegon was created at the last minute, by all current evidence we have available. Simply put, GRRM hinted at this 4th faction in the first book, but couldn't make his mind about it, until towards the end of his writing of ADWD. That's the only point, I was making.
  3. To be honest, the most interesting of these characters I find is Victarion. So far he's the only POV character to go from a "insert title", to actually having his name featured as a main character. He's the Iron Suitor in his first chapter and Victarion in his second chapter in ADWD. What makes this even more interesting is learning from Gsteff's notes, that Victarion was suppose to die, in both AFFC and ADWD, but GRRM keeps changing his mind. For me, it makes Moqorro, feel like GRRM creating a character, who is an insert for himself, when he saves Vic's life and see's into the future better than any character.
  4. There are much cheaper gifts. Like the ones Illyrio gives her in the original draft. In the original chapters, Illyrio is suppose to give Dany a chest of fine silks, gold and gems. Dany is suppose to find the Dragon Eggs in a cave, when she gets scared and runs from Drogo. All of this changed in the published book however.
  5. I mean Jorah tells us they're one of the most expensive thing on the planet. That Dany would be wealthy for the rest of her life if she sold them. Still doesn't explain why Illyrio would just throw something so valuable away, if he expected Dany to just die in the waste. Also, you ignored my second point, that we literally have proof that GRRM invented Faegon at the last minute, from him not appearing in any of the earlier drafts of ADWD; thanks to Gsteff and all the notes they gave us. The Jon Connington POV was also something invented at the last minute as well, same with Barristan. GRRM also constantly changes his mind about killing off Victarion.
  6. They were worth a fortune and could buy Young Griff several armies. It makes no sense for Illyrio to give them to some girl he expects to die on the Dothraki Sea.
  7. Elden Ring was completed years ago though. From what Miyazaki told us, about working with GRRM; George basically wrote a D&D type story book, for Elden Ring and Miyazaki wrote the mythology for the game around that. Keep in mind, Fromsoftware games, doesn't have stories in the usual sense of the word. It's more a case of players not really understanding the story, unless they read item descriptions and look closely at environments. They have very few cutscenes and even less exposition.
  8. So explain to me why Dany got the dragon eggs from Illyrio then? Assuming Faegon existed in GRRM's mind back in the early 90's while writing this story, there's no way Illyrio wouldn't have saved one of his three dragon eggs for Faegon. I mean we even have proof that he's a last minute addition to the story, thanks to Gsteff, reading the original drafts of ADWD at the Cushing Library and posting the details on reddit. Faegon doesn't exist in any of the early drafts, expect for the one GRRM published in 2011.
  9. Are you talking about the tv shows?
  10. For what it's worth, he did post a giant picture of a dead King Kong, when he finished ADWD, but he made it very clear he was nearly finished with the book, before making that post.
  11. Yea, because Varys helping Dany and Viserys from afar wasn't doing that already.
  12. Varys being a Targ, who shaves his head bald. I just hate this theory, though I'm not really happy that fAegon exists either, so what do I know.
  13. Fun fact, did you know that Fox set up rules for that Spider Man show. One was that Spider Man couldn’t punch anyone. If you go back and watch the show you’ll constantly see Peter webbing his enemies and then kicking them. It’s rather funny.
  14. So first the Marvels flops, then Jonathan Majors gets convicted and now this. This is not a pretty time for Marvel.
  15. There's rumors about him being physically and verbally abusive in the work place, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
  16. ha ha ha I'll believe it, when I see it.
  17. Been watching this show with my friends these past two weeks. We basically take a night off from playing Demon Souls, to watch Shogun each week and we're loving it.
  18. I always feel the best remakes, are when you take something bad and make it better. When you take something great and try to remake it, you're almost always going to create something inferior and you're going to have your reason for creating your project to begin with questioned.
  19. I have to say I’ve come to love these troll threads. They’re not very smart, but they keep this place alive and are often very funny.
  20. I don't know, more than half this show feels like it was filmed in front of a green screen.
  21. I wonder how old the kids will look when next season comes out. The Stranger Things kids are almost unrecognizable for me anymore, from what they use to look like in season 1. I expect the cast of Wednesday will look very different as well, whenever season 2 of that happens.
