Official Game of Thrones Season 4 Thread *The North Remembers*(NO SPOILERS!!)

[satam55]

So after finishing the books, I can say that this is easily my favorite adaption of any sort of novel or anything, possibly ever. The steps they take where they don't follow the books actually have their reasoning in the grand scheme of thing, and tend to make their own points. Some of the dialogue and monologues added just for the show are incredible as well. I feel like with some things I hate when they deviate from the original story and make it shyttier than it was (The Walking Dead). But when you can make it just as good and just as interesting, then goddamn. I have no problem seeing essentially another version of that story

Only a few characters really look like how I feel like they should look, however.

The main one tho, I think Stannis is absolutely fukking spot on. The guy playing Stannis is so goddamn on point in his role, it gets me giddy. Dude even makes his facial expressions the way I feel like its described in the book.

Weren't you just reading Book 2 a few weeks ago?! How many chapters were you reading a day?!




Anyways on that Stannis tip, I posted this video a few weeks ago & bookreaders seemed to agree that the show hasn't shown done him justice:

 

[King Crimson]

Winter is co...

Classless.
Gutter trash.

Anyways on that Stannis tip, I posted this video a few weeks ago & bookreaders seemed to agree that the show hasn't shown done him justice:

Looks like he was talking about appearance of the character. How he pictured them visually.

No one in their right mind would say that show Stannis is the most accurate character adaptation

Yeah, visually and how he shows his facial expressions. I was watching the episode where he visited Shireen in her room and just the way dude would react to the different shyt thrown at him that day had me weak. Yeah, Stannis hasn't gotten enough shine in the show, but they're gonna kinda be forced to give him more coming up here.


And yeah, I was spendin all my free time reading them books lol. Read Dunk and Egg too. Glad to hear there will be more stories from them too

 

[Microfracture]

They're on point with a lot of the adaptations.

Tywin, Jon Snow, Brienne, Ned Stark, Jaime, Robb Stark, Littlefinger, Sansa, Arya.

Varys seems to be slightly different but I think its for the better.

 

[Sinnerman]

Winter is co.....

vulgar

on the topic of the books, I think I'll read em after this season

[Black Magisterialness]

Is it a spoiler to reveal why Aegon didn't conquer Dorne? B/c i really wanna know, but i'm not sure if its important in the upcoming seasons

Long story short, you don't fight the Dornish in Dorne and they got bad bytches galore...hence why the Martells and the Dornish, outside of the Baratheons, have the deepest connection and inter-marriage with the Targareyns

 

[Uncle_Ruckus]

Spoiler

what happens next?

 

[Soundbwoy]

Winter is co.....

you wrong for that breh

 

[Piff Perkins]

It's crazy how big the production is. So many parts, crazy that it comes together so well.

The Iron Throne May Feature Multiple Movie Swords, Including Gandalf's Glamdring
Redditors prove their observational skills once again.

by Jared Larson MARCH 15, 2014

The history of the Iron Throne may be more prestigious than we ever knew.

Last Thursday, extremely observant Redditor NoMoreHodoring noticed that one of the many swords in Game of Thrones' Iron Throne bears a striking resemblance to Gandalf's blade, Glamdring.

Via NoMoreHodoring. The blade in question even features a blue gem, though it differs in size.

The thread led to darknogra and Elio_Garcia also pointing out possible replicas of Robin of Locksley's blade and a sword from Ridley Scott's Crusade era film, Kingdom of Heaven. HitFix did some legwork and found the weapons in question right next to the alleged Glamdring.

Robin of Locksley's sword?

Is that Orlando Bloom's sword in Kingdom of Heaven?

It's possible that these are Easter eggs planted for fantasy and medieval film fans' pleasure. It's also possible, considering that this is the show that unwittingly impaled George W. Bush's head on a stick, that they just used whatever resources happened to be lying around.

Either way, it's a pretty neat little discovery for genre fans.

What movie is the 2nd sword supposed to be from?

 

[tru_m.a.c]

You stanleys are always living in the past because you have no future. Okay maybe a bit of a future, but it depends on cripples, kindergarteners and lesbians.

We're talkin about CONQUEST breh, not aimless wandering. To me the contrast is.......stark.

one of the best episodes of south park ever

watch yo mouth fool….East side bloods!

 

[Uptown WaYo87]

[Jards]

Bought the box set and rewatching the whole series from scratch.

Season 1 Episode 2 when the Arya the young goon disarmed Joffery's bytch ass and had her foot on his neck

If looks could kill a nikka Joffery's punk ass would've been fish food at the bottom of that lake. The eyes of a killer if ever I saw one

Vagar Morghulis nikka.
