i like how it was written first person by a maester made it that much cooler

yeah

wh40k has good lore, the best part about it is that they make it clear nothing can be known for sure

I spent most time on awoiaf on the targaryen history]

yeah same

i love that one picture where the iron throne is fucking huge

If the new one covers doom of valyria I'll just sit on the pages and cream myself tbh

just a rat on a watermelon

this one

THAT is how the iron throne should look

they did have a budget and dragons to cgi

it can't all be that cool

wish they'd dyed daeny's eyebrows though

That iron throne reminds me of a ink blot test

virgin tv throne vs the chad book throne

chad is the manliest country

Game of thrones is just edgy Harry Potter

Or LOTR

basically

LOTR

not lotr

lotr has clearly defined villains

Harry Potter is a whole other tier of lower writing talent

Yea

asoiaf has gray characters

id say its more like less edgy thieves world than anything

lotr has that one gray wizard

and undefined deaths of people with things to do

Isn't that just lazy writing?

I mean the premise GRR Martin wrote GoT on was "LOTR didn't have religion or politics in its setting"

thieves world is cool tho

Was it ever explained why gandalf came back to life ?

nobody really understand how the magic works, which I appreciate

there are no real villains in life either

@Pirate but it was an allegory for religion though

thieves world is a good comparison tbf

So that's kind of stupid

I like the comet part, where all the character think it means something about them
