wtf do you mean hard fantasy nigger?
>>
>>69897323
its literally based off the middle ages europe except for dragons and zombies and shit
>>
Why do you keep watching this shit even after they've gotten ahead of the source material and went full retard in two episodes?
>>
>>69897519
And?
Would still be better as hard fantasy.

>>69897460
Wow is hard fantasy.
>>
>>69897575
based wheel of time will save everything.
>>
>>69897519
OP means no white walkers, no dragons, no red priests (or at least no actual magic). And I absolutely agree with OP
>>
my opinion is the opposite

except for the north, all the other fantasy in this show (yes, including dragons) seems like shit.
>>
i assumed it was hard fantasy in season 1. except now it's got time travel and paradoxes and dual wielding, what the fuck happened?
>>
>>69897645
No OP means the complete opposite
>>
Fuck off neckbeard, the white walkers/children of the forest shit is by far the weakest part of this show. The politics, war, and human drama are what made it good/popular and different from other nerdy fantasy garbage.
>>
>>69897613
>Wow is hard fantasy.
I confused hard and high fantasy.

Okay OP that's an interesting idea, but what if instead of that we did this
>camera pans over Riverrun
>hip hop music starts playing
>morbidly obese black woman steps onscreen
>YO EDMURE GET YO ASS UP ROBBS HERE FO DA WAR
>Edmure, played by Jayden Smith, saunters into view
>"Hol up" he says, smacking his lips, "We Wuz Tullys?"
>"We IS Tullys foo" the fat black woman replies, "now get yo black ass to the war council!"

One of these.

"Hard" is usually a descriptor in science fiction that described the degree of internal consistency or attempts at logical explanation of future technologies. In fantasy the distinction is usually between "high" and "low" which refer to the setting of the story. If it's in a complete fictional world like LotR with its own rules and history that's "high" fantasy. "Low" fantasy is when fantastical elements interact with our regular actual world.

hard fantasy = only physical realities that would make sense in this world work in that world
>>
>>69898322
High/low and hard/soft deal with different qualities. Then again, I'd never heard of either before opening this thread.

>>69897815
It's the best part of the show, though. The fantasy elements just raise the stakes, so to speak. Human interaction are still the best part.
>>
>>69898461
Sounds boring.

Better read a chivalric romance.
>>
>>69897519
Historically accurate or not I honestly wished they had kept out the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.

>High/low and hard/soft deal with different qualities.
Yeah thanks for explaining my own post for me.
>>
>>69897645

That sounds awful. If you're making fantasy you should be fantastical about it. Otherwise you might as well just make a show about the wars of the roses.

"Hard fantasy" isn't a genre. You're confusing "hard science fiction" with "high fantasy"/"low fantasy".
>>
>>69901649
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_fantasy

>Hard fantasy is a subgenre of fantasy literature that strives to present stories set in (and often centered on) a rational and knowable world. Hard fantasy is similar to hard science fiction, from which it draws its name, in that both aim to build their respective worlds in a rigorous and logical manner.[1][2][3] The two diverge in that hard science fiction uses real scientific principles as its starting point, while hard fantasy postulates starting conditions that do not, and often cannot, exist according to current scientific understanding.
