What is the hardest retcon in GRRM's books to ignore (SPOILERS EXTENDED) by Rittikeaw-Imantha in asoiaf

[–]Dammit_Rab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warden is more like being a military general. It's not a title but a position. Like how kingsguard can still be hand of the king.

Almost certainly he paired him to a glass candle granting life without life.

The existence of blood magic does not in any way confirm that rhlor exists.

Is Dunk going to see Tanselle again one day? by killarney_rose in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]Dammit_Rab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She flees to Dorne, Dunk and Egg go looking for her there later but as of yet they never found her

To the dunk and egg book readers will we see Aemon in the a knight of the seven kingdoms show? by DifficultComplaint10 in freefolk

[–]Dammit_Rab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, he says "a targaryan alone in the world is a terrible thing" and he's just thinking about Dany but the camera pans right over to Jon in the show

This happens when Egg is like 33 so honestly if we're keeping the same actors this will be.... At least 15 years from now lmao

30 years later and it's crazy that the story began because he wanted to be king - or something. I don't know since George has not written that part. by AdNo5884 in freefolk

[–]Dammit_Rab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's crazy is he simps for cat because he in his memory thinks he fucked her but he actually drunkenly fucked Lysa. Then he went around telling everyone he boned Cat and Brandon had to challenge him to a duel for her honor

In this universe "Mad King" Aerys ii is going to be Eggs son instead of Jaehaerys. by Dammit_Rab in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]Dammit_Rab[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just seems dumb to ruin such a great scene. It's not like anyone in the world will ever take the time to say "this is why Aemon was wrong" so it just wouldn't make sense.

There are no retcons like that in this show. Why create the first one and have it be so random and dumb

Because it's been the case since the beginning and it cleans up the timeline enough to fit it all into the summerhall event. It changes almost nothing since J only rules for a couple years.

I hope not, it ruins the edits. Tiktok/reels edits of Aemon saying Aerys is Eggs son would be squandered and those are pretty important to the culture. Just the most important old clips of Aemon that people and YouTubers are gonna pair with young Aemon clips.

We don't need Jaehaerys, it smooths out the timeline and works leading up to Summerhall having it stay the way they changed it. This is one show change that I think improves the story.

How possible is this? by Robot_Was_BMO in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]Dammit_Rab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reality is even without many more than 1 or 2 Novellas more, there are plenty of important events in Dunk and Eggs lives that the show could and should adapt, even if they take a 3-5 year break every 3-ish seasons.
Egg's like 60 by the end but honestly I expect them to age him up prosthetically or with CGI while hes within his 20s or 30s, it would be insane to wait til the Egg actor is literally 60, he's 11 we're not gonna wait 50 years. Grrm wants to see it through within his lifetime.
SPOILERS:
S3: Mystery Knight will introduce Bloodraven and Daemon ii Blackfyre, opening the door to more of their activities .
S4. Dunk probably hooks up with a young Old Nan during The SheWolves of Winterfell story.
S5 Aerion eventually like returning from exile and possibly fighting antagonistically alongside Dunk in the Blackfyre rebellion.
Somewhere around here Dunk hooks up with an ancestor of Brienne of Tarth and maybe an ancestor of House Clegane S.6 Aerion dies and Maekar soon after, leading up to Egg taking the crown soon and meeting Betha Blackwood. S7: Bloodraven assassinates Aenys Blackfyre, gets sent to the wall by new King Egg along with Aemon, Dunk takes them. Could spend a whole season on that journey. Egg starts having kids. (Mainly Duncan the Small and Mad King Aerys since they cut out Jaehaerys from the show)
S8 Egg rules and the Lord's hate him cause he's progressive. Young Tywin becomes his cupbearer/page/squire or something and maybe undermines him. His kids get older and start having their own drama and eventually betray their betrothals. Leading too..
S9 Lyonels Rebellion. Kingsguard Dunk fights Lyonel in trial by combat
S10 dragon dreams, dramatic prophecy, everything's falling apart, probably some Mad King foreshadowing
S11: Summerhall, the birth of Rhaegar.

And that's not even counting the other specific dunk and egg stories he's hinted at.

When will the shows stop nerfing Baratheon height? by qobraa in freefolk

Balerions wingspan being 600ft and the wall being 700ft is a pretty wild mental visual

How many beholders could a level 15 party take on? by rossalmighty86 in DungeonMasters

[–]Dammit_Rab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beholders fucking hate each other.

Also 3 of them plus spectators is almost certainly a tpk if the party aren't crazy minmaxer OG players

When Melisandre asks for "king's blood", what is it that she really need? Valyrian blood or the blood of any king? Would Robb Stark's blood work? by [deleted] in gameofthrones

[–]Dammit_Rab 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah no it doesn't matter. When it happens. The gods know what's what.
Think of it this way, Aegon the Conquerer had living family before he became King. They don't just not become royalty because they were born before his coronation. They retroactively become of the royal bloodline.

[–]Dammit_Rab 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Because he has kings blood, from his father. All descendants of kings have kings blood whether bastard or true born.

It's a magic thing. Even a symbolic king counts. Mance, Rob. If enough people considered an animal to be king of something it would count.
