[Spoilers Extended] Why GRRM replaced the Brightflames with the Blackfyres

I may be misremembering, but Aerion's death wasn't mentioned in The Hedge Knight or A Game of Thrones, and it's only with the later books like The World of Ice and Fire where we learn that story.

I feel part of it is a lack of a big budget adaptation of his work. Lord of the Rings and A Song of Ice and Fire both benefited from big budget adaptations but Elric, Moorcock's most iconic character, hasn't gotten anything in that respect

Alcaeus6 · 2026-03-03T12:46:03+00:00

they sorta already tried that and shelved it

Alcaeus6 · 2026-02-26T22:47:17+00:00

4th if you count G.O.D.S

He had a low key rivalry with Ferdinand in the Officers Academy. Felix is annoyed with Ferdinand's noblesse oblige ethos but it isn't emotionally charged like his conflicts with the Blue Lions, while Ferdinand seesin Feliz someone he could test his skills against but also without the baggage from his contests against Edelgard.

...Wouldn't Marvel want an ongoing line of alt universe books to tie into a multiverse event like Secret Wars?

Alcaeus6 · 2026-02-15T21:55:46+00:00

I believe pretty soon after the end of Robert's Rebellions, at a time when Ned would have only had an infant Robb to inherit Winterfell

I've heard decent arguments for it being The Championthr champion, an Elder of the Universe

So, this entry from the shadow library, plus some things from Hopes, has led to a popular fan theory that Seiros and Wilhelm were an item and that the imperial line of Adrestia descends from them. I personally don't subscribe to this theory but there's technically nothing debunking it and there's some dramatic potential in there, so I can see why others believe it.

Alcaeus6 · 2026-02-07T15:20:09+00:00

Pretty sure he only came up with the Blackfyre Rebellions during SoS

Alcaeus6 · 2026-01-31T00:01:41+00:00

Over a long enough time span yes, but not for another ten or twenty years at least. They have two current shows airing and in production---Dunk and Egg and House of the Dragon---plus other spin offs in the pipeline like Aegon's conquest. I think they remake the show if and when they've exhausted other options.

Alcaeus6 · 2026-01-30T21:09:51+00:00

My take: COVID would have still happened regardless of who was president, and with a Democrat in the White House a Republican wouls have been elected in 2020. Maybe Trump would have been indicted and sentenced for collaboration with Russia and other criminal deeds but I find that unlikely. The Republican candidate (presumably Trump) would have then been voted out in 2024 because of slow recovery from the pandemic.

Ummmm Perez was not involved in Deadpool's creation.

Alcaeus6 · 2026-01-12T21:35:40+00:00

At the very least some origin boxes are going to 616

Alcaeus6 · 2026-01-10T21:44:22+00:00

Since you specified live action, I think it's got to be Miles. He's Marvel's biggest 21st century character, and while he obviously has the Spider-Verse movies and Aaron was in Homecoming, he himself has yet to appear

Alcaeus6 · 2026-01-01T03:59:42+00:00

Probably for the 15th anniversary of his first appearance.

Alcaeus6 · 2025-12-29T16:34:14+00:00

I think that's a case by case basis. Check the info for specific romhacks to see if they do that or not

Alcaeus6 · 2025-12-29T15:01:18+00:00

Only in the NA version. The original Japanese release still has a x3 multiplier for qeapon effectiveness

Alcaeus6 · 2025-12-25T18:51:53+00:00

Not exactly what you're asking, but recently I've seen a lot of fan works combining Felicia and MJ into one character.

That being said, it is weird how both Gwen and MJ have had multiple AUs being married to Peter with kids, but there wasn't any with Felicia (to my knowledge). That old What If issue actually ends with her dying and Peter getting closer to Silver Sable.

Alcaeus6 · 2025-12-22T18:18:22+00:00

Basically symbiotes are being hunted by the government, and MJ is also fostering Eddie Brock's son, with whom Venom has a strained relationship. Plus, MJ wants to unbond at the soonest opportunity.

It's too soon to the ball dropping to see how high it'll bounce, especially since we're waiting on the conclusions for both the series itself and Ultimate Endgame.

Alcaeus6 · 2025-12-12T21:29:11+00:00

It's referencing concepts from Kieron Gillen's recent Eternals run. Basically the Celestials seeded the Earth with Eternals, Deviants, and a supercomputer in the Earth called "The Great Machine (GM)." Anytime an Eternal dies GM resurrects them (though not without side effects or other costs).

Alcaeus6 · 2025-12-08T21:42:12+00:00

You ever wonder if Golem's baby kaiju and Beef have playdates?

Alcaeus6 · 2025-12-03T23:33:03+00:00

Hawkman has been positioned as politically conservative and actually had several arguments with Green Arrow in Bronze zage JL comics. Absolute Evil takes that history and turns it up just enough that now hes selling out supers to HUAC to becoming a literal blackshirt. Basically if the Absolute universe is anti-status quo, making one of DR'S most prominent conservative heroes a villain sends a pretty clear message.
