7V3N Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 No Summer means no Bran. No Grey Wind could mean battles lost for Robb (he'd rip horses out from under men). No Nymeria means nobody to watch Arya's back and cause terrible safety issues on the roads of Westeros. No Shaggydog means Rickon just cries by himself :dunno: .

dreamcatcher Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Direwolves are as essential as the dragons. They're the majestic symbols of Starks, whereas dragons are currently just huge capricious brats But Grey Wind looks AMAZING in the trailer, I mean, I was expecting worse tbh.

The Swaggering Bravo Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I hope they revise this crucial part in my opinion - Ghost doesn't make a sound! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7V3N Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I should add that no Ghost means no LC Mormont and probably no Jon. The show changed the scene in the King's Tower a bunch and cut Ghost out of the fight completely. Without Ghost, Jon would never be able to grab the curtain to wrap onto the wight.

Ser Dermett Corbray Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Not saying that I agree with BlackTalon but it did looks like he was saying there was no need for "big" wolves, that the direwolves could be played by regular sized animals. For season one, when the wolves were but pups, yeah they were acceptable. But the size and prowess of the beasts, the authority they command in Bran's dreams/vision/warging are what set them apart from lesser animals and make them the symbol of the north. They need to be big, they need to be scary.I think we can all agree that the direwolves are intrinsic to the story but I equally cannot agree with BlackTalon that they don't need to be huge.

7V3N Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I think Grey Wind needs to be big. It seems like HBO wants to show some of Robb's battles (which we never actually witness in the books) and I want to see a big direwolf take down horses and rip knights' throats out. The other ones may not be as necessary for CGI. Maybe they'll show Nym with some regular wolves attacking the roads. In that case, she would need to be bigger so that we know it is a direwolf.
