So my coworker is arguing that it is physically impossible for the Mountain to knock off the Viper's teeth while laying down. and crush his skull while having his core shredded.
I tried to explain to him that the Mountain is abnormally strong...but he didn't buy it.
I think Tyrion somehow survives. Then they kill off a major character like a Jon Snow.Its gonna be like psychological warfare here
Tyrion living is predictable
GRRM is predictably unpredictable, so Tyrion will die
But he is so predictably unpredictable that now we expect Tyrion to die just to fukk with us, so the actual unpredictable thing to do is to let Tyrion live
I can't keep straight what I'm supposed to predict now
I like the Whattheflick reviews a lot more when Anna isn't on there. She annoys me to no end.Its not a podcast, but the best thing out by far are the Whattheflick reviews on YT

Its the dumbest criticism I have read in a while
shyt makes no sense. They act like GRRM is Orson Lannister out here smashing beetles with no purpose just to fukk with the readers. George never made any promises to anyone as to who the main characters are. For all we know, Jaime or Sansa are the main characters in this story (I"m dead fukking serious, we don't know shyt). But people build up these expectations for how the story should be told, and then when it doesn't go their way they say "It's getting too predictably unpredictable now"
Oberyn's death was laid out both as the hero who saves the day, and as the hero who makes promises he can't fulfill. There was nothing predictable about that fight either way, and anyone who says 'I knew he would die' is confusing the word knew with the word suspected. Would they have been in here say "Holy shyt this show blows my mind, I can't believe Oberyn won the fight" if he had won? Hell no, they would be in here saying "It was obvious he was going to win"......straight on some bullshyt
They act like all these good guys are dying. Ignoring all the good guys that are still living. Yes, the bad guys continue to catch major W's. But yall do realize this is still the first act, right? Like, literally, the original plan for this story was a trilogy and the material that has been covered is still in the first intended book of the trilogy, he just got carried away with the storytelling and stretched it out.
There are still 2 acts to go. If this shyt is so predictable, then please tell me how the series is going to end and who is going to live and who is going to die, because I am fukking dying to know
even for a freakishly strong guy, it's not far-fetched.
he was wearing steel gauntlets, which would hit like brass knuckles and then some.
and that wasn't just a regular punch. his left hand was holding Oberyn's head/neck perfectly rigid so his dome couldn't recoil and redirect some of the force. all the power of that punch went right to his jaw.
I always took it be that Ned is the typical stoic, honorable fantasy character. He's easy to like. Painfully so.Seeing the reaction of dude when Ned dies...
I try really hard to understand Ned Stark fanaticism...but I still don't see it.
Those types are the worst. I mean, it's a fukking fantasy show.So my coworker is arguing that it is physically impossible for the Mountain to knock off the Viper's teeth while laying down. and crush his skull while having his core shredded.

That nikka didn't get the memo?

Insane. He truly is a monster then. I wonder what causes his headaches though.
Gregor's history is dark and filled with blood. As a twelve-year-old, he caused his brother Sandor's facial scars by holding the seven-year-old boy's face to a hot brazier as punishment for playing with a toy he had discarded. Their father spread the story that the injuries were caused by bedding that had caught fire.[7]
Four years later, Gregor was knighted by Prince Rhaegar Targaryen.[7] There were rumors that Gregor killed his father, sister, and his first two wives. His keep is said to be a grim place where servants vanish unaccountably and even the dogs are afraid to enter the halls.[2] Gregor has committed rapes and cold blooded murders beyond count but his most infamous deed came from his service to House Lannisterduring Robert's Rebellion.
Aged 17, Gregor was one of the first Lannister soldiers to enter King's Landing during its sack at the end of the war. He and Ser Amory Lorch scaled Maegor's Holdfast when the Lannister troops reached theRed Keep. Gregor entered the nursery of the infant Prince Aegon, son of Prince Rhaegar, and killed the baby present by dashing the boy's head against a wall. Then he raped and murdered Aegon's mother, Princess Elia, supposedly with the boy's blood and brains still on his hands
