Melisandre and Mirri Maz Dur were sorceresses in their own right. The Three Eyed Raven/Crow was a greenseer. And the Children of the Forest were elvish types. I'm sure there are some others I've forgotten.

The giants
Also, all the magic that existed in that world died out at some point.

Fire and Blood touches on this

Remember before the Targs even came to Westeros there were thousands of years worth of events on Westeros

The Age of Heroes and the times before that.

And there are civilizations older than Westeros...

GRRM is a lazy fukk but his world building has been there if you're willing to sit through the courses for the meal

It's my understanding everything Weiss and Beinoff did was derivative from Martin's work up to season 7.

This is false.

GRR Martin's editor was criticizing the show for deviating from the source material as early as season 5:


So they weren't following the books even when there was material to adapt.

Also, people keep saying "GRR Martin gave them an outline!" while ignoring the fact that he asked them to adapt the outline across 10 seasons, 10 episodes each:


So not only did Weiss and Benioff not follow his blueprint, they chopped the f*ck out of it to end the show earlier.

But this is GRR Martin's fault? :mjlol:

I think all of game of thrones is trash. How you have a fantasy show with Dragons and Ice people but no other fantasy elements? Where is the Sorcery? Goblins, Elves etc. Whats the point in barely dabbing a pinkie toe into the genre? Might as well get rid of the dragons, and treat it like straight historical fiction. show more comparable to HBO's Rome, than lord of the rings, and yet they have dragons flying around. Never got into because of that.
They took all the magic out when they made the show. Thereโ€™s a lot more weird shyt that happens in the book. All the Starks can warg like Bran could in the show for instance. Arya wargs into her wolf and hunts Freys every night. Jon is called out immediately for being warg and part of the reason the wildlings trust him. He will probably live a โ€œsecond lifeโ€ in Ghost. Caitlyn Stark gets resurrected by Beric Dondarrion as a monster lady and starts hunting lannisters and freys. Dani does half of the shyt she does because sheโ€™s constantly getting cryptic visions. Remember the goofy pirate Euron from the show? In the books heโ€™s a pirate sorcerer with blue lips and a magic eye and he might be able to summon krakens if George ever completes the next book.


Dragons are probably the most logical thing that goes down in the books compared to everything else.

Got was a soap opera with a dash of fantasy. Be like 1 or 2 episodes a season involving white walkers/dragons

I gave it a go but couldn't finish season 1

I missed the actors from GOT

This is why I wanted the same actors in the show but playing different roles

Like Charles Dance playing a Lannister from previous generations

There are some wild ass takes flying around in here
