I finally got 'round to reading ADWD! Main predictions: Melisandre resurrects Jon Snow. Arya goes deaf. Jaime gets hanged by Brienne.

What did Jon do that's so bad? I'm new to this thread. Why is Stannis so popular? He's dumb. Seriously though, when you first read a Robert scene, he's so awesome and fun. Only later do you realise that he's just a charismatic, selfish brute.

jsoh posted:Jon swore an oath to keep out of the politics of the realm and then consistently helped Stannis, the extreme underdog in the fight for the Iron Throne, putting his mission to defend the entirety of the world from living death and eternal winter in jeopardy, and then actually announced his intentions to directly attack the rightful(ish) Warden of the North and thus the entire Seven Kingdoms. Jon helped Stannis, the only person who gave a flying gently caress about him. If he were to deliver Stannis' head on a plate to Bolton, Bolton would say 'lol no you can't have even a single man' then flay Jon's face off.

Hunky Joe posted:Tyrion definitely has more plot armor than Bran. Terrible at fighting yet leads a sortie out and absolutely annihilates everyone despite a massive handicap (he's not a D&D dwarf after all) and is only nearly stopped by a backstabber. He then succeeds in escaping certain death after a lengthy trial to escape several other bad situations as if he is a leprechaun instead of a dwarf. I saw that as the fact that he's a Lannister, centuries of breeding with the best of the best. HIs brother is the best swordsman alive. Sure, he's just a dwarf, but his armour is the best, he's got a great horse, and apart from being crippled, he has great genes!

Bulletproof Tiger posted:I forget, which city does Belwas poo poo at? Are we already past that part in the show? I just want to hold on to hope that they just give that scene to another character, like Daario or Jorah because that's probably the most glaring omission of the entire series if they leave that out. Mereen. Their champion seems to be some sort of actual knight with a super long lance on a horse.... uhhh or maybe it's the city before mereen. Disregard me.

I think it's mostly about dudes sitting down and spreading their legs really wide, like 'look at my cock!' or 'oh no I can't close my legs because of my dick'. People do this and it's loving annoying. I'm a guy and I try not to do it because it's douchey.

What's up with Stannis' daughter having ( I forgot the name?) grayscale disease? Because everyone else goes on about how fatal and contagious it is, especially in ADWD when John Connington gets it, but she's all 'yeah I'm good, I had it as a kid and am now still a kid/teenager but now I'm A OK"

So how was Joffrey poisoned? Margaery was drinking out of the same cup until almost the moment he died. Was it the wine?

Dutchfool posted:I don't think he's losing his "duty driven" character. He knows Melisandre has mystical powers and fiercely beliefs in them. If he is loving her he's doing it to keep her satisfied/happy "for the greater good", aka. him getting his righteous place on the Iron Throne. He believes he needs Melisandre for that to happen, and is willing to go deep.. I get the impression that she used him once, and now he's useless. The shadow baby exhausted his kingly magic power so she doesn't want to bone him any more.

I think he purposefully avoids posting ANYTHING about the new book, because he was burned by saying 'it's almost done' falsely so many times. Sure he deserved it but now he won't post anything. edit: also, come the gently caress on. its 5 years per book. he has 2 more years.

InFlames235 posted:My favorite part was Varys killing fools like god drat. Also Cersei getting hosed over was way overdue. Also Victarion is slowly creeping up the list as one of the best characters. Can't wait to see how they cast him, Euron and Aeron. They'll skip the Victarion plot. Strong emphasis on Quentyn and darkstar.

It just hit home that really, 100%, there is no way in hell that the books will finish before the series does. I'm betting that next season will already have a nice ender that is taken from one of the 2 climactic battles dropped from ADWD: Winterfell/Mereen battle. They're going to have to drop absolute tons of stuff as well to get everything to fit in. Aren't we totally caught up almost, with the entire Sansa plotline? and Bran only has about 30 more minutes worth of onescreen story, I'd say. They're not going to drop characters until everyone's caught up. They'll just forge ahead with new sansa plot I'll bet.

emanresu tnuocca posted:If they ever start talking about Freys mysteriously getting killed in the riverlands we could get started with the Stoneheart hype all over again, but for now we can just assume it was decided that it wasn't worth the screentime. This is great. I never considered they'd dropped her entirely. I still don't though: she's closely wrapped up in whatever happens to Brienne and Jaime!
