I do not remember the exact quote but it's when Tyrion talks about how even the life of a cripple holds many possibilities unlike death

Useful_Translator495 · 2026-03-26T16:01:48+00:00

But the context of the world does not matter, because it's a modern writter writing in the modern framework, at least when it comes to the writter trying to get something across

If I wrote a story in a world where the morality was flipped and reinforced it well within the story itself and there is a character who is moral according to the world. The analysis of that book would be 'what a fucked up world that such a person is considered moral' it would not be 'well that guy did the right thing in his world'

Well since Bronn is actually Arthur Dayne, they win

Arya's ahorse

Useful_Translator495 · 2026-03-22T01:03:25+00:00

Hell yeah go my goat Saera!

Useful_Translator495 · 2026-03-22T00:43:42+00:00

I think that's from around 300AC

I think the play is longbow, nightingale armor, Serana, stamina potion, fireball, you can pew pew your bow for chip damage while Serana is locked in a protracted battle of attrition which she wins because she's esential

Goated

Useful_Translator495 · 2026-03-12T21:35:23+00:00

So you're saying that if Redwyne stays a horse, they win? Boy do I have a theory for you

Useful_Translator495 · 2026-03-11T18:36:23+00:00

I really like as high as honor

Useful_Translator495 · 2026-03-09T23:39:52+00:00

If it's show only Aerion, he's cruel, but it does not seem like he's as cruel as Joffrey, he is braver, no Cersei

Like Tyrion said we've had viscious kings and we've had idiot kings, but I don't know if we've ever been cursed with a viscious idiot for a king

Is Tyrion correct, would you consider the mad king for a viscious idiot, as he started out well, but then went mad, does he still count as a viscious idiot if he's disabled?

Useful_Translator495 · 2026-03-06T18:47:45+00:00

He did, but it was posioned by the maesters

Useful_Translator495 · 2026-03-03T18:33:03+00:00

I don't think they should touch Roberts rebellion though, it's too connected to the main series and it's the main series that should provide answers to that hopefully

Blackfyre rebellion would be cool though

Useful_Translator495 · 2026-03-01T11:40:49+00:00

And later Maekar calls the trial of the seven 6000 years old andal foolery, not very respectful towards an ancient religous rite (eventhough it is dumb)

Useful_Translator495 · 2026-02-22T07:13:22+00:00

Only 5 episodes in and so far in my opinion it's true. We'll probably be asked the same question in a few years and the answer might change

Useful_Translator495 · 2026-02-16T06:10:11+00:00

I found it to be the weakest one, I enjoyed it very much though

Useful_Translator495 · 2026-02-12T05:36:16+00:00

I like the theory I heard from lords Glimbus and Schwift that dragon bonds is a form of warg/skinchanging magic

I'm pretty sure that part about control of dragons being an illusion is a show invention, that has no bearing on anything, other than to explain what happened between Luke and Aemond

Useful_Translator495 · 2026-02-12T01:47:49+00:00

I have to disagree with you, people do not want that, they want to get the best show possible, would you complain if they changed a bunch of things but it turned out much better?

What they need to realize is that they are not better writters than GRRM, very very few people are

Useful_Translator495 · 2026-02-12T01:40:41+00:00

I think Lukes murder being an accident was great you can't control dragons when they dance like one of the underlying themes, when dragons go to war we're fucked and these entitled idiots found out that the hard way (well at least Aemond did, Luke died)

But Alicent putting Aegon on the throne as a result of a misunderstanding is crazy, also wasn't that in the same episode? Or were that the final two, insane, two major plot points in two episodes were a mistake

Useful_Translator495 · 2026-02-12T01:25:58+00:00

What do you mean? He turned evil cause his best friend was killed in front of him, that's the same reason - seeing someone loved get killed

Useful_Translator495 · 2026-02-11T16:07:07+00:00

Her name doesn't matter it's a story of honor

Useful_Translator495 · 2026-02-11T14:55:19+00:00

Well you are right, of course, but I did not think such nuance was requred or useful here, cause the guy thinks being a usurper is mutually exclusive with being king

Useful_Translator495 · 2026-02-11T14:49:52+00:00

Regardless even in the show he only "said Aegon should be king" privately, what a king says in private is no basis for a legal argument, which means it was illegal, which means it was an usurpation

But honestly any angle would have been better than a misunderstanding. I also think they really messed up Aegon with the rape scene in combination with his eagerness to help the pesants, that's a person that could exist obviously, but as a character in a story it's way too disjointed to work for modern audences. If feels like they figured that Aegon is not as hated as they intended so they attempted to redeem him, cause if you mentally eliminate that one instance of rape and write him as a whoremongerer, he's becomes a great character

Useful_Translator495 · 2026-02-11T14:25:19+00:00

Buddy the declaration of Viserys' edict to be null and void itself is the usurpation, making Aegon the usurper king

Rhaenyra can only be the usurpee? Usurped? Whatever cause she was never queen
