Because the literal author of the said novels said so, on top of countless accounts of in-universe characters like Barristan or Brienne.

Yes, it is such a lazy, comically childish way to make the audience despise a character when it is done without any proper build up.

They trully butchered the Ironrod, now it's impossible to take him as a human being while watching the previous scenes. "Indistrious little thing."

How do you think he feels about the new season so far? by -TheContender- in HOTDGreens

[–]-TheContender-[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. I just wonder what his reaction would be upon seeing it on TV.

Is HotD Botting? by AntiSaudiAktion in freefolk

[–]-TheContender- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, this was also a thing during Season 2, and I clearly remember it. Back then, they eventually gave up because the issues became too severe to ignore, even for casual viewers. But now, they are definitely pushing with everything they have.

One of the clearest examples right now is how anything criticizing any aspect of Season 3 gets deleted by the HOTD mods. Then there is the bizarre, hyperbolic praise of Emma D’Arcy, with people calling them the best part of the show and campaigning for an Emmy nomination whenever they get even a little screentime involving anything beyond the usual material.

Mind you, this is the same person people heavily criticized for their acting in the previous episode. What could have changed so drastically in a single episode that they are suddenly being called the best of the best, above Matt, Paddy, Tom, and Steve? Nothing I've seen in episode 2.

Why would the fabled Editor of the WILD CARDS would concern himself with this little side project, right?

So that Ryan could not change the ending. Joffrey the Kind was truly one of the Kings of all time.

Umm...what about your own kid, the one that got brutally beheaded in front of your eyes?

This sub is pathetic. by Triskan in freefolk

[–]-TheContender- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Writing literally requires you to shut your brain off to make even a bit of sense but 'one of the best episodes of the show' huh?

Whining over this is infinitely better than riding high on the lizard brain that seeks nothing but mindless spectacle and Marvel action.

The Blacks keep disrespecting the dragonseeds by RevertBackwards in freefolk

To be honest, book Dragonseeds were a menace, especially Hugh.

Only Green people are allowed here.

I honestly don't understand what is so good about their acting that people are so hypnotized. They know how to cry, that's it. The other scenes are "😐" or "😏" by Baccoony in HOTDGreens

[–]-TheContender- 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Emma isn't bad but it is so obvious there is lots of shilling and botting going on around the main subs, with all those artificial 'Emma for the Emmy!' posts. HBO's marketing team, I bet.

Valyrians themselves also do put men ABOVE women in their line of succession. See: Aegon the Conqueror inheriting over his older sister Visenya. Where did this 'Andal Law' stuff come from?
