kcroy posted:I mean that is cool right? winter lasts 10 years! he writes loving fantasy - he shouldn't have to come up with the science behind it, or whatever. One of my favorite books had a money problem.. like the guy gets paid in gold, but later on you realize gold isn't valuable enough, and then in another book it is TOO valuable, etc etc. you can't get bogged down in that poo poo - forest for the trees and all that. So it bugs me when people read in super loving deep like preston does, because you don't have any assurance that the author is accurate at that depth. It's more like a water color painting, and less like a loving photo, you know? lol you should check the harry potter thread

Cavelcade posted:How big is a big dude? Like 6'6"? How about like, the BIGGEST dude? 7'? Okay sure yeah but instead what about an 8' guy yeah that's awesome. Gregor is "closer to 8 feet than he is to 7" which could mean anything above seven six which could still be within the realistic though extremely exceptional range. Yao Ming is seven and a half feet tall, and he's a professional athlete with some serious muscle mass, sure he isn't as massive as Gregor and his knees gave out due to how big he is but really one dude like Gregor (who is also hinted to suffer from Gigantism and a likely lethal brain tumor to go along with it) is not imo an example of gurm doing numbers wrong. Edit: I'd imagine fighting (usually from horse back) is actually less taxing on one's massive physique than NBA level basketball, you don't grind out your knee ligaments quite as much when you just drop your heavy loving sword on twerps like you do constantly running around and pivoting on a court. Really when he fights Oberyn we see that Greg can't actually keep up with that level of movement, which is realistic as he has to move around like 300 kg of Gregor + armor as he tries to close the range on Oberyn who is unencumbered and light on his feet. emanresu tnuocca fucked around with this message at 10:27 on May 8, 2016 |

Hogge Wild posted:how many other known mermen are there in addition to varys? Wyman Manderly is a red herring. It's too obvious. Varys is the only confirmed merman. Also, without watching season 5 again, where's Sam? I vaguely recall he left the Wall, but my book brain remembers he went to Braavos with Aemon, but my show brain remembers they killed off Aemon while he was at the Wall. Apparently Randy Tarly is in the show this week or next, so I'm banking on some dumbass reunion episode where Sam tries to tell his dickhole dad about all the crazy poo poo happening in the north and his dad will be like "you're fat and gay and making up dumb stories bitch" just so Sam has something to do this season.

The actual best thing the show could do with incest is having bran time warg into a young jaime lannister, and, overwhelmed by adult hormones, seduce the first woman he sees. This is of course cersei, thereby guaranteeing his own fall from the tower and his journey north. This is uh, thematic because uh, it's like poetry, it rhymes.

Really they're polar opposites but so extremely alike. Lucas spent two days writing a first draft for his movie and then filmed that first draft because he felt it was the perfect representation of his vision of a cartoon rabbit stepping in poop then watching another animal poop. GRRM spent 11 years writing and rewriting a book so that he could get the perfect representation of his vision of a princess taking a dump.

Andre was probably around 7'. Yao Ming is 7'6" which is ridiculously gigantic already but GRRM went for 8'. I know there have been 8' people but I think it was him not really having a grasp on numbers and heights and taking wrestlers' listed heights at face value.

Here's Väinö Myllyrinne when he was touring Europe as a wrestler in the thirties: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8tlAiaYfQ4 In this pic he's serving as a conscript in the Heavy Artillery Regiment when he was 20 years old and just 7'4":  He worked in a grenade factory where he used to carry 80kg oxygen canisters in both hands.

The Tower of Joy scene was retarded. Arthur Dayne pulls out two swords and starts spinning them around and trying to be flashy for no reason. It looked like the Star Wars prequel lightsaber fights, where the people making it think it looks cool and badass but it's just a wet turd.

LOL, Arthur Dayne died from a cheap shot from Howland Reed. LOL, Rickon isn't the Cannibal King of Skaagos, he was just chilling with the Umbers. LOL, they're actually doing the "well technically I'm released from my vows" Jon Snow rules lawyering. Eat poo poo book readers. It's going in the worst direction. Arcsquad12 posted:Hahaha, that jump cut from alive Ollie to dead Ollie is so bad. He immediately turned green. Alliser's bloated dead face was the best part of the episode. That actor was the most perfectly cast unlikable rear end in a top hat. And Arya's 36 Chambers of Shaolin was pretty dope.

And OH MY GOD, that Tower of Joy scene. You've got the two greatest swordsmen who ever lived, wielding the two most baller swords in the known world, Ice and Dawn, and what does the show do? Dayne has two twirly regular swords and Ned fights like a baby with a cheap bastard sword. And remember season one? Ned vs. Jaime? Supposedly the two best living swordsmen and Ned gets taken down by some goon's cheap shot. Now they show Dayne died by being shanked by Howland Reed. IT'S LIKE POETRY IT RHYMES

At least the Tower of Joy fight was choreographed better than Bron vs. The Staggering Snakes. Jon's "gently caress it I died my watched ended" walkout was really loving obvious and a given for any revival. Rickon showing up and Shaggydog being killed is kinda.. eh well I guess that wraps up one plot thread since Ramsay's certain to torture and kill Rickon.
