ITT: Perfect casting
They just got a fat guy instead of a retired football player build, even with all the fat Robert it supposed to be a tank of a man who can knock jaime lannister on his ass with ease
personality wise he nailed it though
Tywin and ned
You have to give it to them, most of them is perfectly casted.
>>67345838
Except for Ramsay, I don't know why they got a cute twink instead of an ugly fucker

Debatable, Ramsay was supposed to be a violent brute with daddy issues, not some Joker-like character.
Still though, not necessarily the actor's fault.
>>67345807
Does Game of Thrones stand up to rewatches?
Season 6 is too far away
>>67346118
He's brutal, but yeah he's more of a rapscallion than a brute.
Hard to be that intimidating when you're 5'5 though
>>67346116
for sure they were great, but i think its kinda funny to say perfect casting for something that doesnt have any source material seeing as...if its an original story pretty much anyone could 'fit the part'
unless TD was based on a book or something im not aware of, i mean not accounting for all that yellow king shit but true detective is an original story right? not an adaptation

God damn this makes me want to just go and buy the first season right now. Is the second season as bad as people say it is? Haven't seen it yet.
>>67345832
this, robert was supposed to be 6'6" and fat as fuck, like 800lb. But they get this obnoxious manlet. Good thing he could act. Still, they should have gotten this guy
>>67346217

Kit looks nothing like Jon Snow is described.
>>67346368
Neither do most of the Stark kids. Kit isn't actually that far off, at least his hair is the right color.
If Kit had been a good actor it wouldn't matter but he's shit.
>>67346408
He's meant to look like a Stark, but he's a baby faced fuccboi.
>>67346408
Not really. He used to be caca in the first two or three seasons, but recently he's been on par with the rest of the cast. Especially last season.
>>67345807
Thought that was rms.
>>67346201
By perfect casting they mean they can't imagine anyone else playing those roles.

>>67345838
>need Sam's 10/10 Chad brother

>>67346907
I agree, new mountain is physically intimidating but his face looks so fucking huggable, especially the way he acted around in the Mt. Vs Oberyn fight, the way he screamed his threats felt so forced

>Good tier
Sam Tarly is literally the only character on GoT which looked and acted exactly like his book counterpart in my mind. But I mostly agree with the rest of your post.
>>67346107
Im not a fan of the Renly Baratheon actor.
He doesnt really look like a Baratheon is supposed to and they got the character really wrong.
And Id say Roose Bolton is pretty good, he doesnt have the proper Roose Bolton looks, but he is a good actor
>>67346236
>800lb
huh?
Maybe 350
>>67347176
I remember I was sceptical about Charlie Cox, but he is pretty good
>>67347401
I dont think thats the actor's fault desu. D&D were WAY too unsubtle about Renly's sexuality

They're not ballsy or stupid enough to replace him in the reboot. They were stupid enough to think Electro and Green Goblin in TASM2 looked fine, but not that stupid.
>>67347535
>Womanizer
No he was still a cock sucking faggot, just a really big guy
>>67347684
how do you think this guy wouldve been as the roose
its the actor who played solonious in spartacus
Why the fuck wasn't Tywin bald? The book makes a point of stating that shaving his head entirely is an important part of his character. And then the show gives him that weak-ass old man haircut.
>>67345977
>I don't know why they got a cute twink instead of an ugly fucker
Sure you do.
>>67347899
I think that would be a little difficult.
>nobody has posted CIA
what has happened to this board?
>>67347862
because Tywin wears what little hair he's got in a fashion people in the UK associate with a character named Edward Elizabeth Hitler from the comedy series "Bottom"
>>67347913
shit now I know why Kit always looks like he's on the verge of tears, these two must have gone to town with his ass every weekend
>>67347913
Like Harry Lloyd (Viserys III Targaryen, King of /tv/) Iwan Rheon auditioned for Jon and didn't get it.
>>67347737
I genuinely think J.K. Simmons was born to be the best goddamn J Jonah Jameson ever
>>67347944
I saw someone trying to banepost on a medium that wasn't /tv/
You know, like a World of Warcraft public chat channel. it's gone full reddit now. that's what happened.
>>67347913
Do you guys think every male actor in the show is required to go through a casting couch audition organised by these two fags?
>>67346856
All those years of folk dancing finally paid off.

I can't think of a character more perfectly cast.
>>67348085
I can.
>>67348021
>Harry Lloyd
This one is slutty and definitely not as tight as Kit, not to mention older.
>>67345807
If that's a perfect old Robert, then "Battle of the Trident smash your fucking skull with a hammer warrior god" Robert looked like this.
Why is that
>He isn't like in the book
always means
>He isn't like this fanart made before the TV series
?
>>67348149
maybe the physical development of the actor does not follow that of the character
maybe.

Cannot get over how they squandered such a perfect Mountain. New Mountain is like someone I would feel comfortable approaching and buying drinks for at a bar to keep my ass safe from Old Mountain.
At least he's better than that totally forgettable faggot in Season 2 at least.
>>67347849
only other one that i really wouldve enjoyed, is edward james olmos as doran martell.
i think the guy they picked for him is terrible, olmos wouldve been legendary.
then again its not like theyre giving that dorne plot much screen time, at least not yet.
>>67348539
I heard he got caught in the moment and almost raped someone in the film crew and had to be let go. But yeah he is the perfect mountain. Method acting at its finest.
>>67348539
the new guy, while he could literally rip my arms off without much effort also looks like a huggable teddy bear
>>67348539
Season 2 Mountain looked more like The Beanpole That Rides desu
>>67348637
wow that's a fucking brilliant idea. he would own that part.
:^)
>>67348960
but isn't the mountain dead and he's robert strong zombie now?
Pissing off so many old people was a bonus
>>67348855
lol what the fuck is this meme
he was supposed to be an orc in the hobbit
>>67346871
>the new mountain is good body wise but he doesn't look as mean as stevens
That was my problem. Even when he's making his "mean" face, he just looks like a really friendly guy making a fake mean face. It's also really evident they dubbed his voice over.
But hey, at least the first Mountain went on to work on the smash hit Hobbit series.
>>67347176
Charlie Cox's british accent occasionally slips out.
Punisher is fucking excellent though.
>>67349258
>But hey, at least the first Mountain went on to work on the smash hit Hobbit series.
It's even better, he got completely CGI'd over
>>67346871
Fuck that, bookRoose is a fucking vampire.
>>67347716
Have you read the books? The Boltons are so edgy it's their fucking house words.

You forgot Viserys. He was perfect.
>>67349578
>The Boltons are so edgy it's their fucking house words.
Everyone in Strangelove, but George C. Scott's performance was otherwordly good. His casting in Patton was perfect too, despite not bearing much of a resemblance to the real Patton.
>>67345807
Not really that great, Mark Addy is 1,78 m.(5'10")
Robert was a tall and huge guy.

isn't that the same guy as picrelated?
>>67350323
idk it still comes off as a little forced
conan just seems like a genuine brute
>>67346969
i think that may have had more to do with his accent, and a beard would go a long way to make him look more intimidating although at this point it doesn't matter

Note: Mark Wahlberg was so bad in The Departed and overactied it so much, he actually came out OK because he was literally a cartoon version of the real character.

>>67351887
Or a woman.
I dunno. GoT has a nic cast but out of all the characters only Liam Cunningham as Davos was 100% on Point. The man IS Davos.
Such a magnificient acting Job from him
muh niggas

Him as Bert (the gangster gambled) in the Hustler was perfection itself. What an evil mean spirited bastard.

GoT had a fantastic cast in the first season. It all went to shit later when even the actors that were originally incredible started phoning it in.
>>67347401
Renly's actor was such a pussy that he actually threatened to walk when the director told him about the peach scene. Apparently he hates the fuzz. They offered him a fake peach but he still wouldn't. He ruined that scene by being a complete bitch.
This whole cast

>>67353738

>>67347176

>>67351675
Agree with Cavill for Robert but Rhaegar is supposed to look more attractive than Robert, no the other way around.
How about pic related for King Aerys?
>>67349982
Reminder that this was only because Kubrick tricked Scott into overacting.

>>67346107
Conleth Hill is the best cast actor on Game of Thrones.
Debate me.
>>67353738

I'm not joking. He was perfect.

Holy shit, make a Benny Hill biopic starring Conleth right now, the resemblance is uncanny.
Anyone who says "but that's not how the book described the character" deserves to be put to death
>>67354419
Conleth Hill and Jack Gleeson are the two best cast desu. They literally perfected their characters.
>>67347737
Came here to make sure this was posted, thank you anon.
>mfw he got cast as the new commissioner
Gordon
He'll do great as he does in everything but unlesss it's Jonah Jameson I don't want him near capeshit ;__;
The movie was shit, but this particular casting was perfect. Imho they should do another one with Sly as old Dredd as he is now in the comics.
>>67347983

you know it's true
>>67345849

>>67354323
And Tom Felton as Rhaegar. Literally pottery. At least he's tall enough.

>>67354720

>>67352923
>tyrion
No
>Jaime
No
Both are departures from the book characters, but that might just be DnD writing
>>67345832
Yeah I agree that he should have been taller but they did cast the right guy for him
Sean Bean was also perfect for Ned Stark since he doesn't have to act for itas with any Sean Bean role
Game of Thrones in general was pretty well cast. Ser Davos' Geordie accent is a bit odd though, and of course Emilia Clarke has black eyebrows and can't act.
>>67355118
>Toby Mcguire
>not ruining literally anything he's in
He was only ever good when he was in character as spider man
Could HBO have found a worse actress to play Daenerys? Is she the >9002 of the cast?
>>67355382
emilia and Indira Varma are literally JUST
>>67355300
He was GOAT in this scene.
>>67355382
I can never work out if her shitty acting suits the character or not. It's definitely unintentional but I think the way she stumbles through her lines and fails to convince fits a 15 year old who has found herself a Queen quite well.
Like I said though, it's definitely unintended
Same goes for every member of the cast.
>>67347535
Renly should have been played by that Gaston Disney guy. RIP that dude.
>>67355753
It would help if they found an actress who was actually 15. I'm ok with the some of the other young characters being brought up in age, particularly JS, but I think a teenage actress as Daenerys would have been the correct decision. Also the bad acting could be more easily excused (see: Maisie in some episodes, although she's better than Emilia anyway).
>>67348085
The most perfect casting. He's willing to reprise the role, too.
Utterly brilliant casting.
>>67355850
Good luck airing the love scenes between Dany and Drogo with a 15yo actress.
>>67345807
Everyone they killed off in season one was perfect casting.

>>67352923
Isn't old Theon supposed to be good looking?
Because his actor sure as fuck isn't
>>67347684
I like the Roose we got. Mostly normal looking guy with something off about him > obvious vampire mofo who eats babies
>>67345977
He's a great cast for playing the character, though. Definitely far too pretty but then Tyrion is handsome too, so
>>67346107
Sam is terrific. He both really inhabits the part as it was written in the books, and makes it more magnetic and appealing.
