Oh my god dude gently caress off with your movies poo poo and shut up about George Lucas, I'm trying to enjoy this and you're being loving rude telling me Anakin is still alive in the second one."

Uh...no. Syrio was Jhaqen all along. He was sent to teach Altairya how to fight and become an assassin from the start. The sounds of death were him killing Trant and then rezzing him out of mercy. I don't care what George said. Who do you believe? A pedo or a guy who writes fan fiction about that pedo's works?

I Own Soulz posted:I still don't believe they organically started discussing Jon's parentage. That's a lead on from a book reader trying to sneak in stuff. It annoys me that ~*~book reader's~*~ hide in those discussions and people don't know (or don't hate on them) because they don't have Wild Cards! Also, Rarity pretending he doesn't know what's coming in the show. I really cannot fathom how that thread is to be a special snowflake where the source material is forbidden to be spoken of, even when speaking about what happened or what was not shown but was in the books a couple seasons prior. There would probably be less people spoiling things there is we could actually have a what happened in the book versus what happened in the show dialogue.

They're allowed to do that between seasons, I think. I believe Rarity makes a post describing all the adaptation changes and choices, although some stuff (like The Tower of Joy scene) is off-limits for whatever reason.

Even with the perspective of having read the entirety of what was written, how does the Tower of Joy spoil anything? Because folks may wonder about Jon more? How is that a bad thing? I mean, is it something the gurm wishes he hadn't written in? You know what would be better to read than Rarity's list of differences? THE SOURCE MATERIAL. That DICK! posted:I think the problem is at the very end of season 1, Robb is built up as THE hero. Then he doesn't do anything for a season and a half. Wait till they get a load of Danlessi in upcoming seasons. *poo* edit: Again I ask: how did the worst show handle Robb telling folks that Jon is off the hook and can be king if anything happens to him?

Show Rob had an heir on the way before NotJeyne got stabbed in the baby so he wouldn't have had any reason to legitimize Jon. Presumably that will now be something Stannis does in show ADWD when he's trying to get Jon to leave the watch.

Kalesi has been poo poo since Carl Dragon died. Carl Dragon was the best character. In all serious, Drogo was cool, it's a shame he bit the dust so early.

Urdnot Fire posted:Same with Viserys. And then they cut Belwas from the show, leaving her with Barry and Jorah (who Iain Glen improves drastically). I could have done with more Viserys (and Drogo!) in the show for sure - both actors were wonderful. But in the books I could not have been happier when Viserys was crowned, and wished it'd happened sooner.

I tried to block out Dotrice's horrible Jorah voice and replace it with Glenn's to no avail. He made Jorah sound like a 16th century ham.

I've never been one to consider audio books, but hearing that the person reading it does voices for the characters escalates my desire to never listen to them to untold levels. I'm sure anything with Patchface is utterly cringeworthy.

I think I may have misread something somewhere, I could have sworn that ~Daario~ died in ADWD. I was convinced he was fired from a catapult or something. Then again I did power through the books so I'm probably misremembering.

Barristan says he thinks it'd be better for Dany if Daario died as a captive of Yunkai, but asks the Tattered Lord of the Windblown to save him and as of ADWD, he's alive and will almost definitely get out eventually.

They might work Tower of Joy in later on, to be fair. I really don't understand why people don't read the books, though. I love reading, especially when in bed or on the toilet. Fantasy is easy to read - what's the problem there?
