Corvo the Crow Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Emilia Clarke being Daenerys instead of Tamzin Merchant. It can be counted as a smaller change since it was done in pilot episode and considering all the other changes that's been done to the pilot episode(which I hope someday we'll be able to watch).

Show Renly looks nowt like book Renly. Where is my shoulder length thick black hair? Where are my blue/green eyes? Where is my imposing build? Where is my sharp fashion sense? To be fair I understand that they can't always get actors who look exactly like the character. But it wasn't just the looks. Renly's characteristics were not portrayed as they are in the books. He lost his carefree attitude and most of his wit and charisma. And I think it was so unnecessary to make him afraid of blood. Just...why? In the book he is happy to joust and hunt with everyone else. In fact in the scene where Robert is dying Renly's hunting cloak is splattered with blood and it doesn't bother him at all. And they ruined his relationship with Loras by having Loras just go off with some other man like two weeks later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s part of the showrunners idiotic frat boy “haha he’s gay let’s make him afraid of blood haha” style. And the homophobic jokes that they probably thought were so funny and edgy… jeeezus. I feel for Gethin Anthony… he seems to be miscast often. As Renly, as Charles Manson… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craving Peaches Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Also I don't like how we are robbed of seeing the 'Baratheon look' because they all have brown hair and eyes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the low point for Renly was having Margaery say he was only capable of buggering her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her wig seems to change colors throughout the seasons as well, which I'm assuming to due to lighting or colored filters. I loved her hair color the most in seasons 1, 7 & 8 as it seemed to have that more "silver-blonde" shade to it. But her time in Meereen it just looked blonde or yellow, probably because of a yellowish filter they may have used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of wigs, Sansa's wig the last 2 seasons was just I understand she needed a wig because she needed her hair to remain blonde for another role, but the wig looked cheap and the styles they gave her were so ugly. And Cerise's short hair wig?? I know she didn't trim it to keep it that short. Some jewelry would have helped take the eyes off the new military look, but the D&D kinda forgot jewelry existed. For all 8 seasons. "Let's keep putting a tiara on her head, that'll make it look less ugly." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GZ Bloodraven Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 No Weasel. I liked Weasel a lot in Clash of Kings, what with her mud-eating habit, and they just didn't include her. She could have been used for their stupid fan-service moments in later seasons, like they did with Hot Pie. Probably the character I was most sad to see be left out of the early seasons (I'm glad that they left most of the later-season POV characters out because they would have been done very poorly).
