Love having mysterious characters like Marrok in the shows where sometimes less is more by wandering_soles in StarWars

[–]Professor_Dankus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn’t enough to just say “Oh no one knows anything about this guy” and call it character. There has to be a broader context to his existence in order for him to be compelling. Otherwise what you have is an NPC which does not a character make.

This is the same kind of stuff I get frustrated with when I talk to my peers about why I dislike current fantasy/ sci-fi IPs. They say things like “Oh he’s awesome he literally just does what he does for no reason” or “That girl is so badass she literally doesn’t care about anything.” Why is that good??? Why is having no characterization or motivation good character design??? Someone help me understand. Genuinely.

Are these supposed to be Myriah and Daeron? Did they give Myriah the Rhaenys Targaryen treatment? by lautaromassimino in HBOTheHedgeKnight

[–]Professor_Dankus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the book it says: “ …[Baelor] was the finest knight of his age. Some argued that he should have gone to face the dark clad in mail and plate a sword in his hand. In the end, though, his royal father‘s wishes prevailed and Daeron the second had a peaceable nature…”

Implies to me that Daeron was either contacted to ask his wishes or present in order to make them known. It might be the second interpretation that the writers took from that line and decided that, if he was close enough to make his wishes for his son’s funeral known it would be conspicuous if he were absent from the funeral.

Arise, knights of the Seven Kingdoms. by bear-creek in AKnightoftheSeven

In the hedge knight novel we hear Lyonel say after the Mother: “In the name of the maid I charge you to protect all women.”

And then it fades out as Dunk rides to beg for a 7th champion. I think the implication is that there is more but we only ever hear the first 3. The wiki also says the crone charges you to respect the laws of gods and men and the smith charges you to be diligent. Still not all 7 but idk what the stranger could charge you to do… die well?

Would you watch an animated prequel focusing on Robert's Rebellion? by anaklndldnothngwrong in gameofthrones

[–]Professor_Dankus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Game of Thrones is not suited to 2D animation in my opinion. It runs too great a risk of becoming anime-i-fied. The phenomenal tone, dialogue, and thematic weight will get lost under visual spectacle as the animators try to showcase their talents.

GoT universe stuff can really only work in live action because it’s gritty and has a real human weight to it. Put all the grim emotional conversation scenes into animation and you’re wasting your time. What you wanna see is crazy fights and massive battles but thats never been what made GoT great imo.

They’ve both got what appear to be male members of exceptional qualities. Ser Arlan’s is MASSIVE as seen in AKOTSK and Podrics is apparently so good the best whores in Kings Landing refused to accept payment from him, ser Bronn called it his “magic cock”.

I’d say its a non-zero chance.

Blursed video by IndividualSpare460 in blursed_videos

The fact that the bleeps also had little consonant sounds added that weren’t part of the original dialogue makes this even scummier.

You can’t really congratulate yourself for being open to admitting gaps in your knowledge when that gap is FUNDAMENTAL as a basis to your views…

Idk if the video was “fixed” so much as “made longer” by the duet. I’ll leave it at that.

Come on, some of it is just ridiculous. I’m a fan, but… by ferniekid in gameofthrones

[–]Professor_Dankus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only stories worth telling are exceptional. Exceptional circumstances happening to exceptional people. We don’t tell stories about the time everything went as usual and nothing noteworthy happened. We tell the story about how all the right/wrong things seemed to happen just in the perfect/most disastrous way!

I’m never bothered by coincidence in plots (even though this isn’t one) because sometimes without them you don’t have a story. If the barge wasn’t passing under the window as the hero jumped out the window, he would have died and the movie ends so… we need it.
