Never really cared if there were any Black folks on this show.

1) If there was a prominent Black character, guaranteed they would have been killed off by now or had some bad shyt happen to them.
2) There are hardly any likable characters on the show. Most are trash, and/or murderous, incestuous scumbags. Arya was my favorite character and I can't even root for her anymore.

Terrible take. Why even write a character who never has anything go wrong in their life, and never have to overcome strife? Hell, name a person in the history of humanity who has never experienced some bad shyt happening to them. That would be unrealistic, but also boring as fukk and not worth watching.

Most GoT characters are dynamic... a reason why the show is so well-liked. Take the main hero for example, Jon Snow. He broke many oaths, killed a brother of the nightswatch, laid with and brokered deals with they're sworn enemy... but for the greater good. Good characters, just like people in real life, are flawed and can succumb to temptations and jealousies and all types of other unvirtuous emotions. It sounds like your gripe is there is no Jesus character, who is incapable of wrong-doing, but that doesn't mean the characters are unlikeable. Are there a lot of selfish, violent people? Sure. There are a lot of selfish, violent people in real life too.

1. The Dornish are basically Spanish Moors. They are dark-skinned and super different from everything else in Westeros...they don't even consider themselves Westerosi...they'd say they are Dornish or Rhonyar before Westerosi.

2. Naath/The Summer Isles and Sotheryos are basically the Caribbean and Africa respectively. Missande,i played by Nathalie Emannuel, is Naathi. In the books, the Summer Isle are a very organized and civilized society where warfare is so ritualized that the soldiers don't die (only exiled) and there is no collateral damage.

Dorne also was the only place in Westeros that Aegon I was unable to conquer. :jawalrus:

Very few since the show is supposedly somewhat about western European tribes. In the story ALL the black people seem to be from an area referred to as "The Summer islands". Missandei for example is said to be from the Island of Naath. Grey Worm just knows he's from the Summer islands but not really which island since he was kidnapped into slavery as a boy. Salladhor Saan is also from the "Summer isles"

In order by photos below
  1. Salladhor Saan - Commodore of Pirate fleet
  2. Missandei - Danaerys right hand
  3. GreyWorm - Unsullied Commander
  4. Mako - Slave ship captain
  5. Areo Hotah - Head of Dorne KingsGuard

Read this thread and in my youtube recommendations saw this:


Theyre making a G.oT. spinoff prequel of the Summer Isles .
