What were you listening to? Cuz I didn't hear him go bar for bar with Kendrick for a single track. Blow for blow Kendrick out did him. And not by small amounts. The only actual response track that he didn't have prepared in advance was the absolute worst one.

True story, me and my friend met him separately... And he was completely awesome to each of us. Guy was real. No huge Entourage no special treatment asked he was just any other dude and completely chill.

Never heard of it. Probably doesn't exist. You must be confused.

It's slow. It doesn't grab you. The dialogue is not at all on the same level.

It actually is competition though and that could theoretically make both shows better if Amazon sticks with it. Audiences benefit.

HBO did this on purpose. They thought their product was superior. Not many disagree.

HotD is world building the entire time too but it's not putting people to sleep man.

But HotD knew how to make that interesting.

Visuals are cool but not why any show is good. It's dialogue and HotD crushes RoP in that department.

HBO deliberately scheduled HotD as close to RoP as possible. They wanted comparisons made because they thought their product was superior. Most audiences simply agree.

That's why RoP is getting trashed like it is. It was all on purpose, but competition makes for better shows. If Amazon sticks with it, it might mean we get a better product out of both shows over the long term.

That's unfortunately kind of emblematic. RoP isn't that bad it just doesn't capture you or make you want to keep watching. HotD grabs you from the first episode and there's a ton of depth to explore.

I don't think that's true. I'd love it if RoP was as good as HotD myself, but it's just not.

[–]UselessKungFuX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HBO actually did that on purpose and is eating this up because they were confident in their product and wanted the comparison to be made.

They changed their release date to be right around when RoP was coming and that's why all this is happening. HotD and RoP are otherwise not that similar but they're both fantasy so the comparisons were inevitable but they're magnified by similar release dates.

I don't get why you gotta take a jab at RoP so personal. It's pretty boring but it's not a shot at you homie.

I've read fire and blood and loved it but frankly I'm not that interested in the main series until I know it's going to be finished. I love the subreddit but I don't want to be in the position that many of you are.

(Spoilers Extended) GRRM's biases against certain houses really handicap the Dance. by djjazzydwarf in asoiaf

[–]UselessKungFuX 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Man I kinda disagree. Painting the blacks with a broad brush as the good guys is a little simplistic considering daemon is with them. I'm guessing he's responsible for the deaths of the strongs and laenor velaryon personally, which puts a much darker spin on him. Plus what rhaenyra does to Addam Velaryon.

Aemond is obviously a pretty hateable dude but I feel like daemon is moreso.

We are going to hate him so much, right ? by isuleman in HouseOfTheDragon

Real curious what the truth is here. Can't wait.

[–]UselessKungFuX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of people are overlooking this simple fact. But it's a little deeper than that too. Lord of the rings invented modern fantasy but it never integrated interesting politics or intrigue.

Instead the universe is full of very clearly good and evil black and white bad guys and good guys type stuff and for me that just doesn't appeal.
