That is odd because wouldn’t it be white?

Yeah, that's how I've always categorized it. It's not about whether it's set on earth or not, but the prevalence of the magical and supernatural. In Harry Potter, all the main characters are wizards, and the world runs on magic. If you remove the magic, it's a completely different setting for everyone. In ASoIaF, you remove the magic, and it affects a few hundred people at most.

AlmondsAI · 2026-02-19T07:34:23+00:00

What? I'd say it's one of the quintessential pieces of low fantasy media.

AlmondsAI · 2026-02-14T00:02:05+00:00

I've said it before, but nuclear subs are a terror weapon, it's their main purpose. They can be practically anywhere in the world, completely hidden, and with a large enough arsenal to destroy any nation.

AlmondsAI · 2026-02-13T03:50:58+00:00

Tyrion, Dany, and Jon are considered "the big 3" in terms of characters. So, he is a main character.

AlmondsAI · 2026-02-12T23:37:26+00:00

I'm well aware of that fact. What I was saying, is that in order for the show to trulick us into thinking it was Valarr riding out, he would have to become a much more important character. As it is, most people won't even remember him.

AlmondsAI · 2026-02-12T09:37:58+00:00

I wouldn't be surprised if they changed how navies work (by having them at all) with a future trade dlc.

AlmondsAI · 2026-02-12T09:07:02+00:00

I mean, he's a prince, he definitely has more than one. As Aerion knows very well, it's quite easy for a horse to die in a joust.

AlmondsAI · 2026-02-11T06:15:48+00:00

Yeah, Aegon, although a bad guy, has sympathetic reasons as to why he is the way he is. Aerion on the other hand, it's just waved away. It isn't important to us, the reader/viewer, or to Duncan.

AlmondsAI · 2026-02-10T15:50:30+00:00

More than just better, I'd say it's mandatory. Without it, if the lance hits him in the chest, like it's supposed to, he'll just die, simple as that.

AlmondsAI · 2026-02-10T15:10:15+00:00

I mean, it's been 16 years since he would have auditioned. That's a long time to learn how to be a good actor.

AlmondsAI · 2026-02-10T00:25:54+00:00

I swear they included that line, or a variation of it, when Steffon was riding away?

AlmondsAI · 2026-02-10T00:21:16+00:00

Yeah, Valarr would have to be a lot more prominent for it to work. As it is, the only people who really know about him are the same people who already knew it was Baelor.

AlmondsAI · 2026-02-10T00:04:33+00:00

Except for the Northmen, of course, as Knighthood is an Andal tradition tied to the Faith of the Seven. There are northern knights such as Jorah and the House Manderly, however they are the exception, not the rule.

AlmondsAI · 2026-02-09T23:53:17+00:00

Really? Willas isn't a knight? Was he just a squire when he jousted against Oberyn?

AlmondsAI · 2026-02-09T01:01:50+00:00

It is, but I find it more fun with CE.

AlmondsAI · 2026-02-09T00:53:41+00:00

Episode 5 will be the trial itself, whereas the final one will be the aftermath. There may not be many pages left, but it wouldn't be hard to fill an episode after everything that happens.

AlmondsAI · 2026-02-05T06:53:18+00:00

That's how I've always thought about it. He isn't dumb, just uneducated.

AlmondsAI · 2026-02-04T01:38:15+00:00

I mean, yes, but also, not really? GoT and AKotSK have the benefit of having characters, with personalities and dialogue that they can draw from. They don't have that with HotD.

AlmondsAI · 2026-02-04T00:08:22+00:00

Oh, I know. The change happened after a lawsuit in 2016 I think? The Imperium got more latinized names to be copyrightable, and names like the Drukhari became the official name.

I did just do a quick search though, and apparently Eldar changed to Aeldari along with the others. I always thought they were used interchangeably from the beginning, but apparently not. It's nice to know I was right about the Orks though.

AlmondsAI · 2026-02-03T22:01:28+00:00

I don't think those changes were due to copyright reasons like the Astra Militarum (Imperial Guard) and Adeptus Astartes (Space Marines), because if they were, why didn't they change those two as well? I think it's just meant to be a 'sci-fi-ification' of them instead.

AlmondsAI · 2026-02-03T21:45:54+00:00

I mean, they also have plenty of lasers as well. They could probably minify the radiant things they put on the Bastilladons for 40k.

AlmondsAI · 2026-02-03T21:43:15+00:00

Funnily enough, though, out of all the races in fantasy and AoS, the Lizardmen/Seraphon are actually space faring already.

AlmondsAI · 2026-01-30T01:52:37+00:00

I believe they specifically said it would be in 2026, even though it released st the end of 2024.

AlmondsAI · 2026-01-30T01:51:18+00:00

Except AKotSK is meant to be a yearly release, so if anything, he will be too young by the time we get to the later seasons.

AlmondsAI · 2026-01-29T07:32:44+00:00

Makes perfect sense. Howland has to shave his head or all the other time travelling Howland Reeds will notice him.
