ZearothK posted:Remember when after two huge gently caress off books the plot started moving and then you turned the page and it's the bloody appendix laughing at you with all the houses of Westeros. i usually dont expect more chapters after ones titled "epilogue" but i get where youre coming from.

Gravity Cant Apple posted:Considering almost every book he's ever written ties into the Dark Tower series, and the existence of the Dark Tower as a completed work I'm going to give world-building to King. no way. the dark tower connections are cool but it only connects to a few of his books in earnest. most of the time its just a reused idea transmogrified into a universal connection, or a reused setting that seems unchanged from the events of whatever other novel used it.

SaviourX posted:Reusing some ideas and places or really broad references in a bunch of stories is cool though, and inspired how a lot of my shorter work, uh, works. considering the DT books "core" and his other novels and short stories "satellite works" is a mistake. going by word count alone the dark tower series makes up very little of kings work, and the vast majority of his writing is totally unconnected to it

cis autodrag posted:TVIV is the worst. They're piling on me as an sjw because I called the sex scene between Cooper and Janey in twin Peaks rape (cuz it is) and they all don't think it's rape because it was funny and also he's dumb cuz of magic so that's not exactly the same as raping a retarded person irl. are you saying retarded people cant have sex because they arent smart enough to consent

A GLISTENING HODOR posted:The CGI direwolves make no sense if they're just going to be big wolves. Just take a regular wolf and do some of that clever LOTR style perspective shots. Or hell, just to have Ghost in the background just do the oldest trick in film, matte shots. thats what they did and it looked like garbage

Kavak posted:Peasant levies fell out of fashion IRL once warfare became more common, mercenaries got plentiful, and you generally needed to field people who knew what the hell they were doing. It would explain what happened to tactics more complicated than "charge" and formations more complicated than none at all. then eventually napoleon brought the entire population of france to war with him and everyone went "why did we stop doing this again?"

NihilCredo posted:My personal pet tinfoil theory is that, in the books, there is no such sword as Longclaw.. Neither Jorah nor Lyanna ever mention it, and it doesn't make sense to send it to the elderly retiree at the Wall instead of keeping it in the family castle which is full of warriors of both sexes. cool theory
