Well fag, thanks to /got/ we can't have a fucking GoT thread that actually includes GoT discussion. The vast majority of GoT threads since the general was kill have been shitposting about tripfags, waifu spam, and civilised discussion about fucking Reddit.

If it were possible for us to have a GoT thread where we just fucking discussed GoT things would go fine, but you crossboarding cunts with your shitty general ruined all possibility of that, at least until the new season actually drops.

There was absolutely no reason to eliminate the GoT Generals and the ban came completely out of the blue.

Nobody was forced to participate in GoT Generals and all GoT discussion was restricted to one thread and thus didn't intrude on anybody else's discussions.

I'm still scratching my head wondering why GoT discussion was banned?

No, it wasn’t all that frequent and on the occasion this did happen, the rouge thread was usually ignored.

> and 40% of each and every thread was some variation of "first for maisie's feet" or "myrcella first of her name".

Sure, but there was still plenty of fun discussion going on and it depended on who was posting at that moment; after school threads could be shit but late night threads had lots of good debates.

> I used to love /got/ threads but you have to admit they were a fucking awful cancer on this board. /got/ ruined /got/

I’d suggest that the tv series ruined /got/. Early on, we could speculate on where the story would go and how it would be adapted but with each season, it became more and more clear that D&D were hacks and this was reflected in the threads.

Either way, the ban on GoT Generals is stupid, arbitrary and makes no sense for /tv/, which is all about discussing tv shows after all.

The tv series is only "critically acclaimed" by corporate shills.
>>
>>64262170
The casting is good for the most part, the effects are backed by HBO money, and the cinematography is impressive. The problem is the writing. The source material is a widely appealing fantasy adventure written by a former television writer, and most of it translates very easily to the screen. Whenever the show deviates from the source material, the quality declines sharply. You get the typical "reeee they changed things" reaction from fans of the books, and then on top of that, very little if any of the new material is quality material-- see season 5 Dorne, Roz the prostitute, whatever the hell happened in Qarth. People who aren't familiar with the source material-- likely the majority of the audience-- just take the average of all of it and still end up with a good show. We'll see how long that continues. People who read the books can pick out the tv-specific elements and can recognize that they correlate strongly with the shittier parts of the show.

In other words, the show can still be pretty good even if D&D are shitty most of the time.

That just boils down to "it's too complicated" and the modern TV audience is much more willing to follow some complex serial series than they were in the 90s when he wrote it. The structure of the story lends itself very easily to television episodes and even seasons. Most chapters end in cliffhangers and other high notes that feel very television-like. You'll notice the adaptation is closer to the source material than almost any other book to television transition, and it's stupidly successful.

So literally every show other than MLP is not being allowed a general, and threads will be deleted during hiatus on sight. MLPG is the ONLY show that will be allowed to be discussed during hiatus on 4chan. Video games can have their permanent generals on /vg/.

>>
>>64263161
Jon is "dead" in much the same way, but he'll be coming back to life in both media. Jon got a letter from Ramsay that said Stannis is dead, but no one believes it. The stannis plotline is pretty different, and the Dorne plotline (actually from Feast) is entirely different. Sansa had nothing to do and was given a side plot that a tertiary character had in the book. Bits and pieces were cut from the Essos part of the story.

So, Stannis fate is currently unknown and he's actually not killed by Brienne? That's good to heard I guess.
>>
>>64263329
Brienne has a much less prominent role in the book. She has a meandering plotline in Feast that never brings her into contact with the Stark girls and eventually has her kidnapped by undead Catelyn Stark and forced to lure Jamie into a trap. It was weird.

Stannis is much better prepared in the book and didn't burn Shireen. He has a loyal army plus some northmen outside winterfell where we last see him. There are northmen inside the castle willing to betray the Boltons if they get the opportunity as well.
