Very sad. I watched the first one or two seasons of this show.
Jaime has to succeed. What a terrible end for the story if Daenerys were tried and executed for something Cersei had done!
Ned had no choice as Joffrey was king, Cersei was in no position to offer anything. Cersei has only become worse since then. The Lannisters always resort to dirty tricks like the red wedding and catching their enemies off guard. They could never win a fair fight. Last night Euron took out Rhaegal in a surprise attack. Yeah, that was smart, but Daenerys should have had scouts. Her lack of experience is showing.
Cersei is still worse. Daenerys gave Sam's brother and father a choice to surrender and bend the knee, and they chose their pride. Did Ned Stark or Messandei ever have a choice?
Even if Daenerys bests her enemies and spares King's Landing, what if Cersei gets desperate and uses the wildfire under the city when she realizes all is lost? She's done it before. People hate Deanerys, but Cersei is worse.
I hope not. I think it would just kill them. 'Dragon glass' is made by melting volcanic rock, so it doesn't really have properties associated with cold and winter. The Children of the Forest made white walkers by imbuing the glass with their own magic. If there are any Children left in Westeros, they'll be on the Isle of Faces in the God's Eye.
He pledged to fight for the living in season 7. This is one of the reasons Cersei and Jamie have a severed relationship. She considers him a traitor basically.
Sam could officiate the wedding ceremony during battle.
Sam ain't that kind of person. His father protected the rest of the family, and his death puts them at risk.
That was in Season 2.
Adding nudity and graphic violence to a show with magic spells, zombies, elves, and dragons means it's a fairy tale for adults. Sure, the characters we think of as the "good guys" may not win in the end, but neither will the bad ones. There are plenty of baddies in this show. Characters like The Mad King, Joffrey, Ramsay, Walder Fray, Karl Tanner, Rast, Meryn Trant, Lem, The Mountain, and Euron seem to be pure evil. They have no character development and few redeeming qualities, if any. Arya encountered mostly terrible people on her journey as well.
Have you read it?
Great song!
Totally.
Acting, music, and costumes are all important. They tell the story.
Fiasco? It hasn't even been released yet.
I'm wondering what is wrong with you if you think an African or Half-Indian actress would "tarnish" a childish fantasy series with dragons and giant toads. I mean, what if she were full Indian? Would you don riot gear and take to the streets? I think you might be racist, bro.
What is the problem anyway? It is a well-documented fact that there were Black people in Medieval Europe, even ancient Europe. However, if the story has magical elements including sorcery, dragons, and monsters, then it's not grounded in reality to begin with so why does it even matter what skin color the actors have? It's fantasy, they can do whatever they want. The main character could have green skin like Shrek for all I care.
You're writing the show off, and you haven't even seen it. If it ends up being good, then appealing to a wider audience will lengthen its run. No matter what happens, you can always enjoy the books and games. I have no experience with either, but the show sounds interesting. I'm keeping an open mind. So if you can't enjoy a show if the cast isn't all white, then that doesn't sound like anybody's problem except yours.
HISTORY is so detailed and rich. Cooler than any fantasy series.
[quote]Were sub-Saharan African people present in medieval Europe? Despite their glaring absence from many histories, both popular and academic, they were. They came as traders, as explorers, as warriors, or—for those we only know by the archaeological record—for many reasons that we will never know. One in particular came as a king.[/quote]
You don't have to imagine Black people in Medieval Europe because they were actually there. It is an indisputable, proven, scientific fact. There's evidence in historical documents, writing, art, sculptures, and skeletal remains. Black people are not historically inaccurate. Black people have always existed, and yes, they lived in Medieval Poland and many other countries.
However, you do have to imagine dragons, giant toads, and potatoes since those things were definitely not in Medieval Poland. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
