I don't get it. It's just watered-down Lord of the Rings with dykes, fags, midgets, ugly people, gore and sex. Why do normies like it so much?

You answered your own question.
Hit meme tv show. It's less about the show and more about the socializing.
>>62672980
Season 1 was pretty good. It seems they ran out of money on subsequent seasons. Now it's just softcore porn with wyverns sometimes.
>>62672980
>I don't get it.
exactly
LOTR literally invented fiction
watered down Lord of the Rings is still entertaining desu
>>62672980
It's been very well marketed, by both HBO and by morons posting their reactions to shocking things. As long as bad things happen, the show will go on forever.
>>62672980
My friend who's smoked exorbitant amounts of cigarettes and weed every day since he was about 14 and who never went to college said he thinks it's the most "important" show he's ever seen. If you're a normie, you like it. If you're a semi-intelligent person who doesn't need the pleasure center of your brain to be activated by every episode of a show to stay interested, than you realize why it's trash.
advertising
hype
crowd mentality
>dykes, fags, midgets, ugly people, gore and sex
this is why it's a far better series than lord of the rings
>>62672980
Because it's the best we got ATM.
it has nothing to do with Lord of the Rings outside of a very loose sword & sorcery theme
It's a story about what happens after the heroic journey. After the evil king has been killed. After the heroes go home and the main hero takes the throne and marries the princess.
Star wars is more like Lord of the Rings than Game of Thrones.

nice meme
Gonna share it with my friends

>More special effects? Larger battles? Nicer sets?
>They must be running out of money!
>>62672980
Who knows
Most people who watch the show have no idea what the names of the characters are or why shocking scene #46 is happening
I fell asleep while watching the episodes. Am I a pleb?
>>62675130
not really, out of 10 episodes in a season a good 6 are pure filler
>>62672980Guess where Trump got his idea for the wall came from
Season 1 - for Ned
Season 2-5 - for Stannis
Next season I will likely stick around for Davos and Euron. Also Manderly but I think he will not have many episodes.
>>62675130
nah, you're just probably clinically retarded and incapable of focusing on something you decided to watch
>>62673964
And yet, there was more gratuitous sex in the earlier seasons there are now.
nice meme, man.
>>62677946
He must just be on season 3 or something. There was some nudity in season five (the walk, Mel with Jon) but I can not think of one sex scene.

RIP in pieces sweet king

>It's just watered-down Lord of the Rings
Other than it being fantasy, it's pretty dissimilar from LotR
>with dykes, fags, midgets
Normal people aren't turned off by this
>ugly people,
The main characters are usually pretty attractive
>gore and sex.
Most people also find these things entertaining
protip OP, you're just a bitter whining nerd who will forever be on the fringes of mainstream society, get over it
>>62672980
>Why do normies like it so much?
Because it is watered-down Lord of the Rings with dykes, fags, midgets, ugly people, gore and sex.
>>62677900
>tumblr fags turn this into a general
No. Fuck off.
but Lotr is liked by normies too
the movies made 10 times their budget
it's not just watered down its swimming pooled down. it's like asking why casuals loved skyrim and are to stupid to play or stay interested in morrowind which was objectively better and more complex. I still enjoy GOT though, guilty pleasure
because it's 2015
>>62678316
don't fault the movies or the lotr lore because they are liked by normies. it's to be expected. normies gonna norm
>>62678316
Normies these days haven't seen it because "it's long and boring"
>>62672980
Shock value.
Season one was pretty good and hooked people up. Many people are then invested in the show and will watch several seasons of garbage to see how it ends.
Also this >>62673018
It's probably the most normie show around. You can talk about it with almost all people of age < 40 and nobody will be triggered. At worst, they will not have watched any episode of it but will have heard about this meme freak show. Talking about potential course of actions in Got makes for a decent alternative to weather discussion.
>>62672980
>watered-down Lord of the Rings
oh look it's one of those guys who thought LOTR was deep
>>62679477
Still the greatest film of the century
The books are better but the series is good overall. This last season was pretty mediocre though.

You realise what a massive fucking bellend you sound like?

It's 15 or more years after the heroic journey.
