So HotD, as its fans apparently call it, has been low-key cringe for quite a while now. While it is not wholly lacking in virtue, it has done its fair share of pandering to the crazies. The season finale, which I was stupid enough to watch, brought things to a new level.
They brought on a GUY IN A DRESS to play an actual woman. With all their CGI and sound transforming technology, I could immediately tell that something ain't right. And once I figured out the character's name, it turns out she was played by... a bloke who presents a Youtube channel called Philosophy Tube. He looks like this. His name is Oliver Thorn, and he masquerades as Abigail Thorn. Don't you love the names that these cross-dressers pick - the "it's ma'am" fellow called himself "Tiffany", because of course.
Suffice it to say that """"""""SHE"""""""" was flirting with a guy, saying that he has good genes, and that """she""" wants his babies... and that he should therefore lie with """her""" wives. What? I thought: well yeah, you're a bloke - you can't get pregnant, but you do have wives.
It's just a ****show as well as a **** show.
Why am I telling you this? Misery loves company, I guess?
I know Ryan Kinel, Nerdrotic, Drinker, and Mauler thought highly of season one. I’ll buy the book used eventually along with used Dunk and Egg because i refuse to support GRRM til he finishes Ice and Fire
The part that says "til [Fat Bastard] finishes Ice and Fire" is redundant.
But as far as I know, the book is OK. That's why they had to twist so many things. However, the whole story is about a "woman's right to the throne", which one may find woke-coded.
It's only like 5 pages in Fire & Blood. When GOT was on they made animated segments explaining the history of Westeros. Look for those on YouTube it's less than 20 minutes and you will have the full story, with boycott intact
Thanks! Dunk and Egg worth the read?
I've never read the Dunk and Egg stuff
Dunk and Egg are pretty decent. Mostly because each one is independent from each other. Each book is a like a snapshot of a specific point their adventures.
