The Arc is mostly consistent though the specific events are changed somewhat (though the current result - Arya's blindness is the same).

But yes, the point is that the Faceless Men give up all...

RDJ will be Marvel's front man for as long as he's part of the franchise. Though I'd note that RDJ movies that don't have a recognizable name (Marvel-themed or Sherlock Holmes) attached to them...

Generally speaking "Flavor of the month" is usually used in a dismissive connotation that "by next month, they won't be the flavor anymore." It's marking something/someone as a passing fad of little...

Is there some mad hate-on for Chris Pratt that I'm unaware of? A whole lotta people here seem really determined to dismiss him as "flavor of the month" as opposed to daring to suggest he might...

Well, Gregor Clegane helped a little. :p

She should totally just get over it. Emotion is for human beings, not fictional characters.

I mean, it's not like the entire book series and the show...

Ellaria and the Sand Snakes are being written like human beings who actually have emotions that just might cloud their judgment. As opposed to soulless automatons that are never influenced by them.

Yeah, family members are always totally rational and logical when the family member they dearly love gets killed. Totally.

Especially when they get killed by the chief muscle of a guy you already...

Wow. I only vaguely know the guy's work but a quick google search and does he ever look the part. And given Marvel's track record, he can probably act too. I'm in.

That's Robb specifically, I'm speaking about major character deaths across the entire series. Yeah, it's Robb's inflexibility on his honor that gets him killed in the grand scheme (except on the...

I don't think the message is about honor getting people killed so much as inflexibility/inability to adapt. But even that theme gets stretched thin with certain events.

The flipside being that...

Robb Stark made two major mistakes that cost him his place in the War of Five Kings, and one minor one:

Major 1: He broke his marriage contract with the Freys. Pretty obvious as to how that one...

Yeah, I don't think the show can really afford to do scenes in snow that's even a few feet deep, as opposed to the several that it was piling up to in the books.

But the situation WAS pretty dire....

I said "limited" veto power. Stop reading selectively.

If HBO suddenly decided Game of Thrones was gonna be a space-opera without warning GRRM ahead of time (when the licensing contract was...

The Tyrells might have aligned with the Lannisters, or might not. Presumably Renly and Loras would still be close enough that Renly might be able to parley that into an alliance, if not as strong of...

That's generally not how licensing agreements work. There is a limited veto power if the licensee feels their product is being grossly misrepresented (as would be the case with your example). But...

By most indications the showrunners are planning on two more seasons after this one, concluding with Season 7. There's a slight possibility they may do more, but chances are they'll try to wrap it...

This ignores Stannis' character. Again, not saying he's a good guy, because he's not, but Stannis was also bitter because Robert didn't name him Hand of the King, which he felt was his rightful...

Too bad we're talking about the show here, where Renly was played. Of course, in the books Renly comes out looking worse because he doesn't even know that Joffrey isn't Robert's son.

And you're...

Except that's the point. Stannis won over Renly. Therefore according to your own argument of "might makes right" Stannis was right. The only difference is that Renly thought he was going to fight...

That's the vicious circle/tragedy of it all though: If Renly had chosen to be loyal to his brother, then Melisandre wouldn't have created the shadowbaby, and thus her influence over Stannis is...

I'll respond when you argue the actual point instead of trying to move the goalposts, as usual.

That's dodging the point. If Renly had done what was "right" from the beginning, Stannis would never have sent shadowbaby assassins against him in the first place, and Stannis and Renly would have...

There's no such thing as "cheating" in the Game of Thrones. You win or you die. The only thing Cersei's gotten right.



Not really, given the proven efficacy of magic in the show and the curse...

I find it curious that everyone is always quick to say "If Stannis had been a bigger man/etc..." but strangely it's never "If Renly had followed the law of the land and sworn loyalty to Stannis..."

Unconfirmed. Hinted at, but unconfirmed until she has kids.



Given that the previews shows those friends alive and well back in the throne room, apparently once their main target is gone the...
