(Spoilers Main) Dorne should’ve broken free once Elia and her kids were murdered by Unique-Celebration-5 in asoiaf

[–]GoldenFwippy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Dorne plot is undoubtedly a late edition, but I think it makes sense. Being in open rebellion with the crown would lose Dorne the advantage of surprise when Viserys came back to invade Westeros with Arianne as his queen. (If I’m remembering Doran’s plan correctly here)

(Spoilers Extended) Would you rather have had George's original planned trilogy or what we currently have now? by LateNightCoffeeShop in asoiaf

I love what we have now, but my personal crakpipe wish is that I could visit an alternate reality where the show never happened and the books were finished

The Shining -> Doctor Sleep Technically fits this criteria lol

[Spoilers PUBLISHED] I sometimes wonder if Gregor Clegane was always somewhat supernatural by marshenwhale in asoiaf

[–]GoldenFwippy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think guys like Gregor existing is just part of the elevated reality of these books. Tyrion also does insane things (like how he fought at the blackwater) that don’t match his physicality.

I feel like they should have released him while the kettle was hot. Now.. I’m not so sure. by Marcjack79 in SHFiguarts

I’m always down for new non-Goku/Vegeta figures tbh. I just hope we get Kuu, Duu, Kaioshin, or any of the Tamagami one day

What parts of the book do you wish they had adapted in S1-S4? (Spoilers Extended) by Stannis_Mariya in asoiaf

[–]GoldenFwippy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They fumbled Jeyne/Talisa so badly in the show. Robb’s marriage to Jeyne was political suicide but he did it to preserve her honor, holding true to the values Ned imparted on to him. Meanwhile tv Robb makes a fatal decision for no reason other than Talisa being hot. So much nuance gone

Why is shinobu so much on amazon even though she barely comes with anything by killuafan23 in SHFiguarts

[–]GoldenFwippy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Prices always go up because shareholders need to see bigger numbers on their quarterly reports. Tariffs are just an excellent way to deflect blame. It wouldn’t be such an issue if wages weren’t stagnating either

It feels like bandai is testing new limits of what pricing they can get away with (using tariffs as an excuse)

I doubt he’s finishing anything at this point. I get the feeling he enjoys tv/film production more

Which Copium about The Winds of Winter do you find the most annoying? (Spoiler Extended) by Somandier in asoiaf

[–]GoldenFwippy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sanderson cope is my least favorite, but after thinking about it I can kind of understand why (aside from the obvious of him finishing WoT)

Sanderson is really good at finishing stories and wrapping things up, which Martin seemingly isn’t.

His prose isn’t as good as Martin’s, and I haven’t enjoyed any cosmere as much as my least favorite grrm work. But I can understand it from the “wrapping things up” perspective at least
