The books actually try to keep this shit realistic, with the odd fantasy element thrown in like Dayne's glowing magic greatsword.

what's wrong with using 2 swords in general

B-but ive watched the show hunder times

Im nkt a proff but id say it eats at your stamuna 2x times

It's suboptimal for nearly every situation. The only valid two-weapon styles are for fighting scenarios where shields aren't on hand/allowed. Even using a weapon one-handed with nothing in your offhand is often superior, especially if you're wearing armor.

I didn't ask if he was sick I asked who that muslim guy is

but you do double hits and the guy can only block one
wouldnt 2 short swords, like bit bigger than daggers, be doable

Straight from George himself:

>Asked if Ned ever used Ice in battle. George points out it was a greatsword, very large and cumbersome, a ceremonial sword for beheading people more than a fighting sword, so he suggests that it was "probably too heavy and clumsy" to use unless you're the Mountain. So, I think that's a pretty clear "no". I admit, I was tempted to point out that it was Valyrian steel, not regular steel, so why would the weight matter so much in this case? In particular when the likes of Randyll Tarly and Arthur Dayne are clearly said to have used their own Valyrian/Valyrian-like swords in battle? Tarly is not described as particularly powerful -- in fact he's called lean (doubtless strong and fit, but still, lean) -- and we're told he killed Lord Cafferen with Heartsbane. So... I take this as a firm "no", Ned never used it in battle, but I think George's off-the-cuff explanation doesn't quite fit the facts.

Ned was probably a very weak manlet

Real plate armor is incredibly expensive so go be autistic and unreasonable about something else

Most people back then probably did wear browns/blacks/grays. But even then what the fuck do you expect? Armor is expensive...

>double hits
Doesn't work that way, for a sword strike to have weight and do damage to your opponent, you need to put the weight and movement of your your body behind it. If you're just worried about attacking as fast as you can without moving your whole body, you can just as easily do it and from longer range with a single weapon.

Hated every fuckign second of this fucking scene.

>Armor is expensive...
>richest families in the show consistently wear garbage in the later seasons
don't try to explain it in universe, it's just laziness from the producers

A sword made out of magical metal that is 10 feet long and weighs only one pound would still be difficult to use because of the basic mechanics

And? Are you fucking autistic? Im agreeing that the sword is probably unweildy. Not because its neccesarily heavy though.

I think the image is pointing out how good Loras's armor is and how AWFUL the later season armor is in comparison

Yeah that was his point, heartsbane is a normal long sword so it has no relevance to using ice, a greatsword

Hence the expense.

If you think the armor in that image looks good, I don't know what to tell you.

There's way fewer scenes in early GOT episodes that called for characters to be in armor compared to later. The helmets have always looked terrible.

Ackmed the Town rapist. He was chose military service rather than death at his sentencing

The costume guys budget has only gotten larger. Are you stupid? The people have changed, however.
They could easily procure the gear they need, but they don't. They spend just as much if not more money designing and commissioning the abomination that is the Queensguard suits, and ACTUALLY wasted cash downgrading the Kingsguard armour into that rough boiler plate garbage they had in the Faith Militant arc.

Like you really think money is an issue anymore? It's just pure laziness.

now compare it to any other armor.

A lot of it could be stamped on a press these days, kiddo. It's 2019.

When Rhaegal and Viserion were chained up beneath the pyramid, how weren't they eventually choked out by the collars as they grew? They were clearly considerably bigger in S5 than they were in S4.

" It was typically an extremely prized commodity, as it was expensive and time-consuming to produce..."
Do you just wake up in the morning and say to yourself, "I want to be wrong as fuck on the Internet today."

Magic collars, obviously.

It looks immensely better than anything we've seen in, what, the last 5 seasons? 6?

What really irks me is that they had that helmet but swapped it out for whatever the fuck this thing is during the Trial fight, and also got rid of his gauntlets and greaves.

Oh, no. They just got them off of the chain trees back then. They didn't cost anything to produce at all. It's not like it was a armour supplied at great expense by one of the greatest war machines the world has ever known. And then it's not like it was used only by a wealthy elite for the thousand years that followed. It was the chainmail trees.

almost as actually seeing well against a fast opponent is actually useful or something

They couldnt have lobstered gauntlets like the book because he wasnt going to oynch through he face like the books.

Sword and dagger is strictly inferior to sword and shield; or sword, shield, and dagger

Parrying daggers/dirks were generally only dual wielded with sideswords, in duels/general civilian self defense situations. Neither were used on a battlefield because a shield was vital to not dying and fencing swords are also sub optimal in warfare. Longswords are used with both hands. There has to be some internal logic that is consistent. The show was pretty grounded in it's portrayal of melee combat early on compared to how fantastical it has become.

Terrible choice of words from the OP, but you have to be literal retards to default to this kind of response.
The books tried to be realistic, but with a fantasy twist, ala Appropriately they had fully armed and armoured knights, and the eastern savages getting absolutely fucked by Westeros' military technology level. The show remembered this with Jorah's fight versus a Dothraki, and then we just never see it again, and we're now back to back with shit like dual sword spinning, Dothraki horse standing archery, muh superior speed Arya dancing around with a rapier, etc.

There is no reason why they CAN'T duel wield in a fantasy setting. Deal with it, phony-nerd.

The actor that played Selmy was very outspoken about D&D making a huge mistake by killing his character off, which annoyed them very as you can see in various interviews.

Basically: it's impossible to do. It's tough enough trying to stick an opponent with one blade. A weapon in each hand means your focus is always split, any timing and rhythm will be off, etc. You're splitting what bodyweight you can put behind the blows/strikes too, so even if you do miraculously land a hit it's with all the force of a spastic toddler.

If you see someone with a blade in each hand chances are one is being used only as a parrying device, in lieu of a shield/buckler. This is the concept behind the Main Gauche (parrying dagger) and was only popular for a very short time in duelling - a short sword type thing with a wide crossguard, used mainly for catching the opponent's blade, and possibly for rare opportunistic strikes.

Henry Tudor's claim to the throne was through his mother and the Beaufort family. However, when John of Gaunt's children were legitimized the act stipulated the Beauforts were exempt from royal succession. Not an actual claim but by blood, he was the best left by the end of the conflict.

Given the modern definition of a proper human is a reddit normalfag he'd probably be labeled as such by our standards. To the people of his day he wouldn't be a quarter as bizarre as many people they meet.

Yorkists weren't evil or depraved. Edward the Fourth was the new Arthur till Elizabeth Woodville ruined him. Richard the Third maybe killed the princes. Could have also been Buckingham. Richard was good lord when he controlled Northumbria and he was faithful to Edward during Clarence and Warwick's rebellion. Henry the 6th was probably retarded and his son my Margaret of Anjou was a bastard most likely.

>knitted sweater

crocheted

Henry VII wasn't incompetent. He wasn't very good at war, but he was certainly talented at politics and fiscal matters. He also astutely reconciled the lancastrians and the yorkists by marrying Elizabeth of York, while also maintaining that he was a king by his own right. Also throughout his exile he avoided many dangers, namely an assassination attempt while in Brittany.

>me, trying to open a old paint can

forgot to add Tudor historiography (mainly Polydore Vergil) of the War of the Roses is highly biased against the Yorkists in order to legitimize Henry Tudor's weak claim to the throne. Naturally, the Yorkists seem like depraved assholes, but after the war many still loved the yorkists and supported pretenders like Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck. The Yorkists certainly did bad things, but like Henry Tudor and other leaders of the time, they were Machiavellian.

EPISODE 1. SEASON 1. SCENE 1. ZOMBIE WHITE WALKER KILLS PEOPLE
>OP is a fucking retard

If in lord of the rings frodo random started jumping 50m and shooting laser beams people would have problems despite it being fantasy. The show went for somewhat realism at the beginning if you dont see that you're a fuckin ape. But yeah its true that dual wielding is hardly an offense, although they should have kept his Dawn in the show

Kicks were probably more important than typically portrayed. We laugh at boner plate now but it's no wonder why you'd want one.

The zombies aren't white walkers

That doesn't make it any less funny

BRAVO DABIDS

they probably made them big like that because the adrenaline most likely gave them boners

mountain woulda got deleted by that one french swordman who always poked at peoples ankles in duels.

The show has zombies and dragons if you're complaining about historical accuracy you're a fucking idiot

The Night King is a retarded name and they should have just called him Night's King, or the Lord of Winter or something

On the long list of legitimate complaints about how bad the writing has been in the past few years, I think Arthur Dayne dual wielding in a 5-minute flashback scene has to be pretty close to the bottom.

Are you a dense robot or some shit? Some sort of beep boop nigger? Fantasy doesnt mean "literally anything goes lmao", or well it COULD but then quality drops substantially.

And why wouldn't they- absolutely no one but the most autistic of people and/or book fans give a shit about things like this. It has zero bearing on the story, and the story has never claimed to be a documentary.

No but in a time when armor advanced sufficiently to stop arrows (plate armor, which GoT clearly has) it becomes better to put two hands on your weapon

You do realize that the war of the roses merely inspired some of the plot and that this isn't literally an adaptation of the civil war right?

I'm pretty sure he is alive still by the end of the 5th book.

GoT is so lame.

lmfao

First thing I thought of too. Based dildo mind.

Their armour is so fucking ugly Jesus Christ

except nuwars fighting scenes are waaay more ridicolous and shit in general.

I don't understand how they can make the fire and debris in the background look so good and then the actual fight choreography is fucking awful. And it's just Rey. The part where Kylo Ren was fighting off three guards by himself was decent. It's baffling.

why does dual wielding trigger you guys so much

I love her facial expression in this
what is it trying to convey

For me it was his acting that made me like him more than the fighting. His slight turn of the head and look away before properly greeting Ned stark in a honorable and curteous way knowing they were about to fight was so composed and dignified

Lord Stark

Shameful ripoff.

Why didn’t he use Dawn?

When he is surrounded he should have removed his elmet. You need spider sense to parry dudes on your back and sides with your peripheral vision taken away by that thing.

>wouldnt 2 short swords, like bit bigger than daggers, be doable
The Portuguese used that, a rapier and a thick dagger in the other hand, and they BTFO out of the samurai with it. But that was much later, when plate armor wasn't used anymore except only for the chest, because bullets went though that shit nonetheless

>gee bill! how come your queen lets you use two swords?

Not to excuse the faggotry of the show, but I was surprised that bronn dual wields swords on his first fight in the book.

Damn that pink is really bringing out his eyes.

>They couldnt have lobstered gauntlets like the book because he wasnt going to oynch through he face like the books.
>He split it open.
Duh. Of course he split it open. Everybody knows that if you're going to lobster gauntlets and you're going to do it like the book, you have to oynch through he face like the books as well. This is elementary.

>historical accuracy
Yeah the dragons weren't realistic enough either

Ran out of material

That's a fucking stupid argument and you're a dumb retard.
Fantasy elements are one thing, but Asoiaf has an internal logic with battle prowess elements being identical to 11th-13th century Europe. Throwing it all away for a cheap "OMG SO AWSUM" moment is a retard move, and defending it by saying it has fantasy elements is an even more retard move.
Grow a brain you fucking waste of space.
tl;dr you're retarded

>Stop screeching about 'historical accuracy' as if it's somehow making the film bad. Saving Private Ryan wasn't historically accurate either, so what?
When people lose faith and can no longer suspend disbelief, they tend to become nitpickers as a consequence of the grieving process. You can't court an audience that is keen on narrative complexity and teasing-out mysteries and hidden meanings in details, then pull the rug (or books) out from under them and expect all that mental energy to get diverted into musing about tax policies or costume stitching or "set pieces" and then having sex later IRL.

It's unreasonable expectation because it means that they were never passionate for a thing to begin with. They were casuals. No one slogs through that many passages on food or clothing without a more rewarding challenge. Both Gurrm and D&D knew this about the fans. I believe the shit they've pulled are attempts by them to spite "the fans" because they no longer need them.
