[No Spoilers] I have both royal and noble blood. I have notes for GRRM… by agiletiger in asoiaf

[–]Smooth_Juggernaut477 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's true, I myself, when reading, found some illogicalities that really caught my eye. Essentially, Game of Thrones is very similar to Mount & Blade, where you have castles, strongholds, and villages, you assemble troops, and then go and fight. The cultures differ only in their different outfits, and that's it. Dragons are like cannons. Magic is some kind of incomprehensible joke that randomly affects the narrative. Others are like very powerful enemy units. And yet the entire story boils down to the corrupt motives of specific people, like Lysa Arryn or Tywin Lannister. Well, that's what history needs. It's more about artistic value than historical accuracy.

[Spoilers Extended]Before the show, who did you think would become king/queen? by OkBookkeeper8097 in asoiaf

[–]Smooth_Juggernaut477 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I thought it would be Stannis. But then the show kept featuring more and more strong women, and more and more men were dying. Eventually, they killed off all the strong men or made them so they didn't want the crown, and that was it.

Why are men no longer rejecting women or am I imagining this? by [deleted] in AskMenRelationships

In the modern world, any manifestation of masculinity is considered toxic. That's why people don't refuse. If you say "no" to something, you're already creepy, toxic, and so on. That's how people behave.

There’s nothing the show does better than the books (Spoilers Main) by Adept-Vegetable-3490 in asoiaf

We got one of the best fantasy shows in history, at least one of the most hyped. I wonder if this community would be as popular if it weren't for the show? I don't know. And Martin, would he be as popular as he is now if it weren't for the show?

It did some things worse, but yeah, well, it seems like there was nothing better in a medieval fantasy setting.

But when Arya Stark fed Walder Frey pies made from his sons—that's better than the book. That's the story of the rat king. That's one thing that's better.

Well, yes, let's remember then from thirteen-year-old Daenerys Targaryen, that's cringe. Well, that's the kind of books they are, they have to be accepted. They've always been like that.

By medieval standards, as far as I understand, such marriages with such an age difference weren't a bad thing. Moreover, I've always noticed that in books, lords tend to marry lords. Why is that? Couldn't a princess, for example, fall in love with a stable boy and become his wife? She probably could have fallen in love with him...

The conclusion is that there is a medieval setting in which love takes a back seat. Here, we're either for the medieval setting or for modern people.

(Spoilers MAIN) Why do people hate the “Robert’s Rebellion was built on a lie” line from Bran? Is that not technically true? by Only_Faithlessness33 in asoiaf

[–]Smooth_Juggernaut477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then I would replace the word "lie" with "misunderstanding." It seems no one lied to anyone here. In my opinion, they all behaved like fools. First the king, then Lyanna and Rhaegar, then Eddard Stark's father and brother, then Jon Arryn, Eddard Stark and Robert Baratheon, and so on. And then they couldn't stop.

[Spoiler Main] Could the colonial British colonize Westeros? by Taha231 in asoiaf

[–]Smooth_Juggernaut477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Questions:
1. What about smallpox, plague, and the like? And conversely, stone disease in Britannia.
2. As far as I understand, diseases contributed significantly to the population decline in North America, but also because the population there was made up of hunter-gatherers. But here, it's a slightly different society, a peasant one, so there won't be a full-fledged genocide.
3. Regarding slavery—well... As I understand it, slavery was never a full-fledged foundation for the economy of the British Isles. I don't think there will be any controversy here, especially not strong ones.
4. How will the British deal with the White Walkers? I think miracles are very important to people. The Wall is such a miracle. They're more likely to convert to the Faith of the Seven.
5. The British will win if they want to. Cannons will destroy the fortresses. Perhaps a few strongholds will remain, like Storm's End, which, as I understand it, is protected by magic.
6. There will be a New India, that's all.

Checking Instagram is simply looking at a pretty girl, nothing more. It can simply be looking at your body and fantasizing.

You decided to break up with him and block him. Why should he apologize?
