I did. Someone suggested it be made here so...

I actually started watching it too. Only seen the first episode of season 1 so nothing really to comment on.

Xaro Xhoan Daxos

But he gets done dirty in every production I've ever seen him in lol.

Melisandre and Grey Worm also. It's definitely lacking black people. Also really ain't feeling how Khaleesi is this great savior of melanated people. I'm not dwelling on it though.

It's funny how many people got pissed at her heel turn when it was always clear to me that her character was the realistic portrayal of the "white saviour."

A lack of sincerity and compassion. Leaving behind a trail of destruction.

That was obvious.

Westeros is all based on Europe during the Middle Ages.

Plus, the Dothraki are based on wild, nomadic Arab tribes.

The Summer Isles is still mostly unexplored (by Europeans) Africa.

Is there map like this for Esssos?

I haven’t seen one but it seems like a mix between Asia and the Middle East

@tuckdog @Reece Where in GoT/ASOIAF is based on renaissance era Italy?

Thats a few 100 years later than the middle ages where GoT takes place.

That’s the trick.

In reality, the Kings and Queens of Westeros is really the Moor Kings and Queens of Europe from the Middle Ages.

The White Walkers really represents the wild, Barbaric, Germ Man tribes that consistently attempted to raid Moor castles.

The Free Cities are based on them.

Bravos is Venice. They didn’t show Volantis, Lys, Pentos, Tyrosh and Myr enough to say what they were based on.

Love the show but there was a low key white supremacist theme throughout. I posted here https://www.thecoli.com/posts/33838736/
