Is the others invasion going to be apocalyptic? In the show the others invasion stopped in the north, but in the books I imagine they’ll get further south, so is the ending of the series going to have most of Westeros’ population die?
Just listened to it for the first time, I love it! Sounds so different.
Unwin is such a dick and outrageous in his power-grasping that I kinda circle back to liking him, like bro is head of the 8th most prominent house in the reach(at best) and is moving insane 😂. Bro finessed his way into becoming the de-facto ruler of the realm not because he’s particularly smart or crafty but by virtue of everyone being dead from either the dance and the winter fever. He’s like a looney tunes character, somehow survived 2nd tumbleton, got off Scot-free after clearly attempting a coup, and is still alive by the end of fire and blood. I really hope we get blood and fire, I wanna see what shenanigans he gets up to next.
My top 5
Kite
Ponzu
Feitan
Abegane
Frankenstein reporter
He’s been one of if not the most important character this batch, and I really hope he gets the cover.
After watching the latest house of the dragon where Ormund unsubtly implies that Gwayne is gay got me wondering about Lyn.
Dunk the Lunk interacting with a sexy sorceress sounds peak.
“Whatever happened to the mouse?” Is a trope where a character just straight up disappears from the plot with little to no explanation.
An Actor/Celebrity paradox is when an actor playing a character within the work is also acknowledged to be an actor who has done work elsewhere which leads to a fun little paradox.
Goodfellas/The sopranos: Goodfellas as a movie canonically exists in the Sopranos universe which means Chris just happens to look exactly like that guy Joe Pesci killed.
Pulp Fiction/Armageddon: Pulp fiction is mentioned offhandidly in Armageddon, so there’s an astronaut that just so happens to look like Bruce Willis.
American Horror Story: AHS is an anthology series(mostly) that reuses a lot of the same actors each season but they play different characters. The creator has said in-universe the different characters played by the same actors look nothing alike.
Eugene goes form background to character to having an episode focus on him. Carlo slowly become more important, after just being a guy. Vito gets a whole storyline, and he just used to be the guy that hung out with Ralph.
Gwayne: says some sarcastic but smart shit
Criston: Doomer ptsd talk with a hint of delusion
Since the show refused to let her take a backseat, they had to insert artificial plotlines such as her betraying her family in order to give her agency, because after the green council her major role is already done.
They still seem pretty powerful by the end of fire and blood under Alyn, but irrelevant during A Clash of Kings. So when did the fall off happen? After daeron 1? During the Blackfyre rebellion? Robert’s rebellion?
