>The whole season, Dan and I talk about this a lot. This is not us trying to hype it. Usually there’s an episode or two we’re kind of nervous about, that didn’t turn out as well as we hoped. This season there is not a weak episode. We had great directors who knew what they were doing, paired with excellent [directors of photography]. We thought at the script stage it might be our strongest season. Then the episodes came in better than we hoped. We’re always reluctant to say it’s ‘the best season yet’ because so much of that is in the eyes of the beholder. And Dan and I are so close to it that it’s impossible to be unbiased. But that’s my sense – watching them all together now, this is the best one we’ve done. It’s also the one I’m proudest of, because it was the hardest.

>We thought at the script stage it might be our strongest season.

ayyy

so it'll be terrible, because D&D are hacks that turn the show in to dogshit when they stray away from the source material

cool, most gotfags already knew this

Of course they think it's good, it's the first season they got to write entirely themselves without having to adapt source material.

How do they think people will react to this? How many dimwits will take it at face value? The showrunners are touting their own show as brilliant in a magazine payed off by HBO for the last six years. Surely even die hard fans will be a little skeptical?

All I can think is that recognizing the weak elements of season 5 has got them jumpy and determined to push more hype, particularity after the trailer fell flat.

Either that or the season is total dogshit again and this is pre-emptive damage control.

Pretty sure that he's forced to compare himself to Tolkien because people are CONSTANTLY asking him about it. From what I've seen, he's neither modest nor arrogant. He simply states, if memory serves, that time will tell if his work can match the longevity of Tolkien's.

And depending on the ending, that's entirely possible, though obviously pretty fucking unlikely, seeing as how important Tolkien's works has proven itself.

Yes I'm putting Tolkien on a pedestal when many many veterans have said that Tolkien's descriptions of being in combat made them feel like they were actually in a fight again.

How many people have talked about fatty's battle scenes like that? I think Tyrion's POV of Blackwater is his only battle scene that I only ever truly appreciated.

The rest I just kinda read through.

Despite how utterly disappointing season 5 was, I'm pretty hyped for this one.

But I don't know. I'm not going to be surprised if it turns out to be dogshit. Especially sense a lot of it isn't from the books anymore.
And I say this as a person who didn't read ASOFI or any fantasy book, but D&D suck cock when they try original shit like the Sand Snakes or the whole adventure in Dorne.

Yeah because he totally portrayed trench warfare in the Lord of the Rings...
This is like saying having sex automatically makes you good at writing erotica.

Tolkien's portrayal of warfare is extremely romanticized, it usually comes down to a big dark army turning up and trying to siege someplace and then the sun coming up and some unexpected reinforcement (gandalf, Rohan, Eagles) appearing to save the goodies in the nick of time.

Your an idiot if you think you have to have the same experiences as someone to be able to critisize them
>>
>>67294941
The show got me into the books and I read them all between season 3-4, season 4 was still good; they definitely improved the battle at the wall.

However season 5 was quite a let down, butchered the Dorne and Stannis plot-lines, and the Theon story line was pretty shit a swell.

because they need the life force of ghost to make jon alive again? probably something in that vein.

S2 annoys me a lot because they turned TWO5K into a couple skirmishes in the riverlands rather than 5 kings actually vying for their own version of ruling.

Why the fuck did Robb and Stannis not have crowns in the show!?
>>
>>67304152
i honestly dont know why they did that stupid shit.

the original story where that random knight gets sent to investigate was awesome, a westerosi knight in dorne kicking ass and taking names, it was cool as fuck.

and why on earth did they keep the fucking sellsword around, the entire point of him was that he has no loyalty, he just wanted cash and didn't give a fuck about the dwarf faggot. in the book he doesn't even say goodbye, just disappears with his fat wife.
>>
>>67310152
To be fair, Bronn didn't join Jaime on his mission to Dorne out of loyalty. It was because Cersei would break off his betrothal to Lollys Stokeworth if he didn't, and because he'd get a better wife with a better castle if he did.

D&D didn't want to make George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire. They wanted to make HBO's A Game of Thrones(TM). The credit GRRM was getting for the story was irking them, this was meant to be *their* masterpiece.

This is why as the show gained fame, they moved away from the source material and made their "own" "better" story. All the boring icky stuff from AFFC like Ironborn or Jaime in Riverlands or boring Dorne politics is replaced by stronk womyn, Ramsay antics, and bad pussy. Like, AFFC and ADWD was totally boring and nothing happened, thank god we have D&D to fix that!

They are also making it RELEVANT for modern audiences. GRRM is great and all but he doesn't understand that it's 2016. D&D have included more strong women and women of agency, Sansa is a badass dominatrix and Daenerys is a badass queen who uses her power to rape men (take that, patriarchy!). Minority characters like Grey Worm and Missandei offer strong diverse leads over boring outdated white men like Barristan Selmy or Victarion. Also, they've totally put in a modern allegory with the Loras-Church storyline. Homophobia and religious bigotry (except Muslim) is very important and needs to be mentioned in this artform. I mean in the weird books, the Faith stands for the people and challenges the supremacy of the nobility...What's with that?!

Bravo D&D, you are true geniuses of the modern era.

Why did they fuck up Stannis so bad?

Stannis is both a loving father, yet sacrifices his daughter and only heir.

Stannis is both the best commander in the series (except maybe for wunderkind Robb) yet he sacrifices his own heir, losing half his army, and brings the rest of it through a crushing blizzard into an ambush.

Stannis is both a practical man, yet listens to the ravings of a madwoman.

What's with this shit?

Robb's not that great a commander, he fucked up majorly at the Stone Mill by not telling Edmure his plan, trusted command of like half his army to the guy belonging to the house known primarily for backstabbing and fucking over the Starks, and then threw away a marriage alliance to the second most powerful house in the Riverlands for one to a house with like 5 knights (in the books) and to a girl disowned by a noble house from the other side of the world (in the show)
>>
>>67311920
Cersei rape was the most butthurt because it was up for interpretation
>>
>>67311967
Not to mention executing one of his most powerful bannermen for killing 2 barely-significant prisoners, losing a large portion of his forces.
>>
>>67312041
The butthurt over Sansa was way worse than the butthurt over Cersei
>>
>>67312062
Maybe I cared less about the show at that point but I read way, way more Tumblr shit online about Jaime and Cersei
>>
>>67311920
Sansa rape caused the most butthurt, I think. The show was in it's peak of popularity by that point, so a lot of feminists saw it, or at least heard about the rape. There is a huge dip in the ratings for that episode, which isn't something that ever happened before, people were posting panic attack selfies, Jezebel or wherever that fuck decided to boycott the show etc...

Tumblrfags seem to strongly identify with Sansa for some reason. Plus, they were teased with the dominatrix Sansa last season, only for the show to just take it all away. Also, the whole plot had to get bent into a pretzel just for her to get raped, which is kind of hilarious. So it's only natural for that butthurt to be the most devastating.

Cersei thing probably comes in second over the whole "was it rape" debate, which triggers people.

Ded Ros is third in intensity, but second in hilarity. If anyone can give me the tumblr's reaction compilation I would be grateful, I seem to have lost it.

The other two didn't really cause a fuss because the show wasn't as popular back then, and I don't think that back in 2011 being "into nerdy things" was trendy yet, so girls didn't watch it with any investment.

Jesus christ on Hardhome though, why'd they have to go fuck up that masterpiece with shireen's death and STannis' defeat.

Way I see it now D&D just have a rough story board to deal with and like 4 written chapters, but they also have to deal with the greyjoys and the blackfyre/targ shits because they neglected that sh\ide of the story.
They have much more freedom than before, there should be almost no excuse, every episode could be a hardhome.

Season 1 was pretty on target, the only thing we missed was how Ramsay sacked Winterfell and took Theon and other very minor details
Season 1 is by no means the best season either.
Some of the changes are actually for the better (hardhome), some are horribly worse(Asha/Yara garbage and blowing off the greyjors until now), some are meh but at least save time.(cutting branfu, condensing Dorne as much as possible thank fucking god)
You have to be able to condense it all and put it on a storyboard, and that's what sets this one apart, because GRRM only has like 3 chapters and a storyboard for TWOW
