Tatum Girlparts posted:Isn't he a salt though? It's sands who are really dark, salts are just kinda Mediterranean which means they range from really tan to pretty white. Yes, in the historical documents that GRRM has uncovered about these real people that existed, he is indeed a salty Dornishman, and therefore it would be a slap in the face of white people and history buffs everywhere had the role been given to an actor that was any darker than say, a swarthy Italian. And even that might have been pushing it.

The guy playing Oberyn isn't white or "swarthy" and people who say this are unintentionally saying something rather offensive

But I'm sure he's a fine choice for the role. I always took Dorne as being Spain pretty much, and this guy looks Spanish enough for me. wooger fucked around with this message at 11:27 on Jan 14, 2014 |

Yes, clearly I'm the real racist for mocking an awful woman who was terrified they would cast someone with skin that was 'too dark.' Because exact skin tone/complexion choices must be maintained in order to ensure the GRRM's artistic vision is satisfied.

Race is about more than colour since we just made it all up. Calling Chileans "white" is weird. Calling Chileans "swarthy" or "dark" is also weird. This doesn't even take into account the fact that his skin matches the book description anyways. edit: ^^^ To be clear, I wasn't actually calling you out. I was more agreeing with you than anything and just adding to your post.

It implies they feel a sense of ownership over the characters when they're just some schmuck.

Recasting Daario is weird, to us it isn't going to make any difference but it's just one more thing the average viewer is going to be confused as poo poo about.

I have an odd prediction given that Locke is headed for the Night's Watch: Either he takes the role of Donal Noye in fighting to the death at Castle Black, or he takes over Alliser Thorne's role of harassing Jon while Thorne does. It would make sense to use a character already established to make a death interesting (especially if you have a semi-face-turn of Locke).

I'd be happy for him to stick around, especially because that guy was so fantastic in his role of a menacing, evil oval office.

It would make sense to use a character already established to make a death interesting (especially if you have a semi-face-turn of Locke). Wouldn't he also be a pretty good fit for taking over the role Janos Slynt? After all, we haven't seen the actual Slint since forever, and he wasn't really all that memorable either. Locke on the other hand is a lot more memorable already, and with all his "gently caress the highborn" talk he'd probably have a fair bit of pull among the brothers. But yeah, I could definitely see Thorne taking over Donal Noye's part in killing the giant in the tunnel. So far in the show he's been portrayed as a pretty huge rear end in a top hat, but still a skilled and dutiful ranger. Giving him a honorable last stand could make for a cool bit of characterisation, especially when contrasted with Jon's conflicted feelings about his duty to the Watch. The little "Tonight we fight!" bit we see of him in the trailer seems to support that.

Midnight City posted:Recasting Daario is weird, to us it isn't going to make any difference but it's just one more thing the average viewer is going to be confused as poo poo about. This is my biggest problem with the show at large. I've read the books, and love them, but I always find myself having to help my wife out when she looks confused over who is what where now. It feels like the show sometimes drifts so far into fan service (they're readers, they'll know this is x about y) that it muddies the waters and makes it difficult to follow.

Janos Slynt is returning, though. So his role will likely just be unaltered.

Regarding Alliser Thorne, did he ever show up at court in King's Landing to tell everyone that the White Walkers have returned like he did in the books? I don't remember season two all that clearly.
