Annara Snow Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Have any of you seen the Game of Thrones characters and Disney cartoon characters mash up that someone did on Tumblr a few years ago? I can't find the original posts, but here's the Buzzfeed article about it, I think it has all the pictures: https://www.buzzfeed.com/ryanhatesthis/someone-mashed-up-game-of-thrones-with-different-disney-movi?utm_term=.ahNxyxNB4#.kbrQvQYXe The Theon one especially makes me LOL. Oh and since historical characters have been mentioned so much in this game, would any of you good folks want to participate in the ASOAIG Guessing Game- Favorite Historical Female Characters? http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/137793-asoiaf-guessing-game-version-1-afu-favorite-historical-female-character-sent-your-list/ I can't believe that we haven't been able to find more than 4 people so far to send their lists.

Lady Blizzardborn Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 Wow! I hadn't seen that one before. I've seen if Disney did GoT with a platinum blonde Rapunzel as Dany with Toothless from HtTYD as Drogon, and some Disney-ish versions of the characters (Aurora as Cersei, etc). Happy to check out the guessing game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Scribe of Naath Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 What about Charlie Hunnam as Rhaegar? Too old? http://celebgoose.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/charlie-hunnam-2015-2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Blizzardborn Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Hunnam and Travis Fimmel are probably the best current picks. I got to thinking today that Paul Walker might have made a good Rhaegar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raisin' Bran Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Maybe we can step away from the Targs for a bit. Anyone have an idea who would play the part of Queen Nymeria? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRRM had told this actress that she's like Nymeria : http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1232470/ But I've not seen her in anything so I'm unsure of how she'll be in the role.

Lady Blizzardborn Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 Possible on both Gavankar and Gadot. What does everyone think about Aishwarya Rai for Queen Nym? Too delicate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's also not a good actress (I'm from India, and have seen her Bollywood movies) I like the suggestion of Gal Gadot better. @Annara Snow Oops, my bad. I thought it was for Queen Nymeria. She actually does resemble the TWOIAF picture of Queen Nymeria a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raisin' Bran Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I will also support Gal for the role. I like the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These aren't my original suggestions, but I really like them: Timothy Dalton as Rickard Stark Kaya Scodelario as Lyanna Henry Cavill as Brandon For young Ned - David Wenham maybe?

Lady Blizzardborn Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 All good ideas. What about the late Lady Lyarra Stark? We have next to no info about her other than that her mother was Arya Flint (of the Mountains, I think), and her father was a Stark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many characters with established personalities, roles in the story, descriptions, why would anyone focus on casting someone we only know the name and parents of? I assume she was already dead by the time of Robert's Rebellion, since she's never mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Young Ned...I think Phoebe Tonkin would be a perfect Ashara Dayne (with contact lens, of course) And I kinda see Adrian Brody as Benjen...IIRC wasn't he somewhat skinny? On a small note: I'd love to see Maggie Smith as Old Nan...must be a very snarky Old Nan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This also plays into casting Brandon, Ned, Lyanna, and Benjen. Choose an actress who could easily be seen as the mother of any of the actors mentioned for the roles of her children, or the grandmother of Arya and Jon, and it's a slam dunk. Double the difficulty by trying the whole family: Lyarra, Rickard, and four people who look like they could be the progeny of those two. @siyxx Phoebe Tonkin is definitely beautiful. GRRM hasn't given us much frame of reference for Ashara other than dark hair, purple eyes, and one of the most beautiful women of her day; the last of which is somewhat subjective. Also AB as Benjen would certainly work, and I agree with Maggie Smith for Old Nan. That would be awesome! Can we put in Judi Dench as an alternate for the Queen of Thorns? I love Diana Rigg in the role, but I wouldn't mind seeing what Dame Judi could do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Diana Rigg in the role, but I wouldn't mind seeing what Dame Judi could do with it. We don't even know if her children took after her or Rickard. Or if she and Rickard, as cousins, both looked similar and had the "Stark look". And sure we can - but we also can cast a whole bunch of other characters that are more interesting and that we have info about. Ashara is obviously inspired by Liz Taylor, except GRRM made her tall, which Liz wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Blizzardborn Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 Annara, you're overthinking this. It's "Fun with Fancasts." The emphasis is on fun. The inspiration for Ashara has not been discussed by the author so far as I know. The only time I've read that he mentioned Liz at all was when pointing out that having purple eyes does not exclusively indicate Valyrian heritage. But Liz would be an excellent point of reference regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
