>>70429081
it's because D&D can't handle it. Someone else should've been in charge of the show.
Jews needed a recognisable easily marketable representation.
Noone wears a helmet in the show either, I distinctly recall in the books they had very ornate designs too and they just did away with that because muh actors need recognition
>>70428985
Show version has an iconic and stylish look, and it actually looks like a throne. Book version just looks silly
>>70429341
The hound had his helmet in the first season, but that's about it. I wish they would have Ramsay wear his red helmet for bastardbowl but that's not gonna happen
>>70428985
Left isn't practical. Right has a style that works
>>70428985
Why don't you go back in time 5 years and make this thread? Why don't you focus on getting a good job instead of blaming D&D for your failures? Why??
>>70429101
A king actually died that way
>>70429032
Yeah,
>>70429101
Was literally the point of the chair. It's meant to be a constant reminder that ruling is a duty, not a privilege. It was intended to be sharp and uncomfortable so that a ruler never gets too comfortable in his role.
If you were drunk/stupid enough to fall and impale yourself, clearly you're not meant to rule
>>70429356
>>70429428
>>70429081
>>70429032
Defeats entire reason it's made of swords.
Aegon made it in a way so that you couldn't lean back on it or you'd get impaled, a symbol of the hardship of being a king, much like Damocles' sword

>>70429722
Only 1 in 10 ironborn are Vikings, much like the actual Vikings, which was a profession and not a nationality.
The majority of the islands fish, mine or herd goats
They can't even afford the CGI for the direwolves, I don't know what happened but HBO has been slashing budgets since rome.
Budget and practicality, you retard.
>>70429799
>I don't know what happened
People are stealing the series on the internet.
>>70429765
Martin actually said he liked the left one better, but D&D thought it was too silly
>>70429720
They should have made the chair have some sword sticking out added to the tv show chair. Trying to make a chair like the left would take a lot of time and might not be doable on a tv show budget when they need that money for other resources
>>70429395
And there was Roberts Stag-Helmet in a background shot I think

If the throne was fuckhuge, the Littlefinger couldn't have his ebin line about how there aren't even 200 blades
>>70429821
Game of Thrones, pirated or not, makes more money than any HBO show ever and it's blu ray sales are the same.
yet they have been cutting the budget every season since season 4
>>70429827
Too bad Martin is too much of a pussy to do anything about it
>>70429829
Having seen the real chair in person its a plastic cast mold, it would be almost impossible to make a mold of the left version. The chair has broken several times and had to be replaced, imagine trying to replace something like the left one.
>>70429893
The main cast are able to negotiate for more every season I'd imagine, it's not like Daario who had 15 minutes of air time before getting replaced.
>>70429633
Go back to bed dabid
>>70429893
Actors demand more and more with every season.
I'm guessing that's why they purged a large amount of their cast
>>70428985
>>70429163
Are you people so fucking ignorant that you don't understand production limitations?
>>70429911
lord of the rings made castles and shit with less of a budget than got
>>70428985
If the one on the left was what they really used they'd have a new king every two weeks because there would be accidental deaths literally all the time.
>>70429893
>they have been cutting the budget every season since season 4
But this is the most expensive season at $100 million. Why do you lie?
>>70430016
Nope.
LOTR's budget was 180 mil, GOT has 20 mil
>>70429720
What a dick
>>70429263
K, /pol/
>>70430016
>lord of the rings made castles
No they didn't
>>70430016
Nah LotR is around 180 mil and GoT is something like 20~mil. Also elaborating on the prop budget again, the budget for candles is massive (I cant specify, but keep an eye out for the candles on screen ,they are special "church candles" which give of a larger than normal flame but cost an arm and a leg to buy, they stock millions of them) and they actually made the icewall in the studio, full scale, you can walk around ontop of the camp atop it. Same with the castles, all fully built and you can walk around inside them. Their being frugal with the budget because they have to make and film in so many different places and sets over a very long period.
Dont take me for defending GoT but what theyve done with that budget is actually kindof impressive.
>>70428985
GRRM has no sense of scale.
Ice Wall is also retarded.
>>70429056
This.
Too big, took awkward lookinv. Shit hardly looks safe to sit on either.
>>70430259
He's a bona fide retard.
He wrote that the Wall was 700 feet, then when the show made it exact he got mad at how big it was
>>70430269
That's the point
>>70430269
agreed it is exaggerated but it was not supposed to be safe to sit. it was supposed to remind the king about his enemies
>>70430008
read the whole conversation, you fucking twat
Less is more.
>>70429056
It was made by an insane person who conquered the world with dragons.
It was forged and designed by smiths and dragons, not craftsmen.
Its dangerous and burdensome to sit on, just as it is dangerous and burdensome to rule
How about you read a motherfuckin book
>>70430408
not in this case. The iron throne is supposed to show everyone what a crazy fucker the mad king was.
>>70430323
Lol for real?
>>70430455
Your mistake is one thing.
The series does not follow the books.
>>70430216
But why do the last seasons feel so cheap compared to the first ones when their budget increased? I'm sure there's an explanation but I don't get it.
>>70429765
It's not fan art. It's a picture approved by Martin for his World of Ice and Fire book, which has art of various locations and events that most closely resemble martins description
>>70430484
So?
>>70430538
>he got mad
>oh I may have made the wall too big!
are very different things, you fucking faggot
>>70428985
Both look awful.
The whole sword throne gimmick is shit at it's core though so there's not much they could have done.
ITT: Hipster who got into the books because of how much they loved the show post about how shit the show is.
Please tell this is the last season and the fucking spam stops on /tv/ soon
>>70430636
>he doesn't know that GRRM has anger management issues and friendly yells at fans
>>70430689
Maybe two more seasons. Next year is apparently 7 episodes instead of the usual 10.
>>70428985
>'m'lord, our soldiers need new swords for theirs have rusted and become brittle!"
>fuck you faggot. Respect the throne.
Dumb.
>>70429720
He could've taken a simple throne, and stuck a few daggers on it and it would've done the same job but without wasting all those swords.
The left does look pretty bitchin' though.
>>70430573
so you sperging out like a fatfuck autist is completely pointless
no one fucking cares about the books
>>70430850
it was made with the swords of his enemies, faggot
>>70430860
jesus, he didn't do anything wrong, you fucking cunt. He just explained why it looks the way it does.

How would they even get the thing on the left into the room?
Or out of it, for that matter?
Or build it at all, they don't know anything about welding do they?
>>70431241
Could have been forged in the throne room itself.
And you do realize it was made with dragonfire right?
Why do you even bother giving your opinion if you don't know what the topic is about?
>>70431288
>Could have been forged in the throne room itself.
Yeah and then they took down the forge and cleaned everything up?
That's even more ridiculous than the chair itself.
>And you do realize it was made with dragonfire right?
I seriously doubt that dragons can provide a flame of adequate quality.
A welding flame doesn't just need heat.
>>70431396
there's magic involved and they never really explain how it was made. Just roll with it.
>>70431645
The magic we have seen so far is rather underwhelming and near certainly not capable of welding.
>>70430456

This is why showfags are the typical murican audience
The left pic is an artist depiction of the Iron Throne from the books, right one from the show.
Obviously millions of people have read the book and know that difference by now. Stop acting smart, you are not.

Even though I would prefer left over right:
>Smaller budget at the time of Season 1
>The person sitting there would be waaaaay higher than the rest of the set, which would hinder scene composition, make it a bitch to shoot.
>Being a large set piece in Season 1 it would have to be practical to shoot around, seeing as lots of important scenes are shot in the throne room
>Show throne is overall more iconic and, ultimately, more believable
It's like you don't even use your brain cells
>>70431396
Read the books, or just the lore from asoiaf. Theu just collected the swords from fallen enemies and melted some of them together to form a rudimentary throne.
The point was not to build a comfortable chair, instead it was about showing what happens to anyone who opposes Targaryen rule.
No need for good welding technique, as long as they stick together it was good to go.
