>The war that Tolkien wrote about was a war for the fate of civilization and the future of humanity, and that’s become the template. I’m not sure that it’s a good template, though. The Tolkien model led generations of fantasy writers to produce these endless series of dark lords and their evil minions who are all very ugly and wear black clothes. But the vast majority of wars throughout history are not like that.
GRRM vs Tolkien?
>The more she drank the more she shat
>Hack vs Hack
I'll take the original. thank you
truly the pinnacle of literature
>The war that Tolkien wrote about was a war for the fate of civilization and the future of humanity
Isn't that exactly what the whole Night King storyline is?
The ASOIAF books are unironically enjoyable. Don't care that GRRM is fat/lazy/gay IRL.
stay mad incels
based draft dodger correcting WWI veteran on the reality of war
What I wanna know is could Sauron beat the Night King?!
>just takes german myth and shoehorns in his incest fetish
>original
no comparison. one defined the genre, the other failed at writing in it, tried to subvert it, got lucky and his garbage became a hit, then was too stupid/lazy to finish his work
>Night King
Back to your Burlington reaction vids you show-watching homosexual pleb retards
Every time I read what GRRM thinks about the Lord of the Rings I become more and more convinced that he’s never read it
>Talking about game of thrones
>Call other people incels
Yeah okay bud
>My derivative yet contrarian shit is better than what inspired it.
It didn't have enough hobbit sex for him.
cringe
>hack who writes medieval porno
>literary genius who wrote the most influential fantasy in history
Hmmm
>Cynical shades of grey storytelling with almost nobody actually worth rooting for.
Huge improvement, George.
Wagner and Tolkien are both good in their own ways. They both drew from the same mythology.
Just remembered the whole Darkstar character.. cringe
Gurm isn't even a dago. He found out he's a quarter Jew and that his grandma was a cheating whore lol.
I've read the books but it was also 6 years ago so fuck off lol
history also doesn't have an ending. No wonder his books will never reach a conclusion.
I have read the 5 grrm books. Isn't the whole point in the end to fight an evil god dead zombie lord from the beginning of time. Tolkien seems upfront about it. GRRM just loaded it at the end, in between the faceless edgesassins
>son of the british empire
The absolute MADMAN. How does he keep getting away with it lads?
If we're talking about novels, Phantastes is "the original" in terms of modern fantasy. Or you can go even further back to the romances that inspired it like the Faerie Queene and Le Morte Darthur.
We still don't know because this fat fuck is busy whining online and screeching instead of finishing his damn books.
At this rate the series might finally be complete in 2034
>GRRM vs Tolkien
This is not even a debate. It's like comparing any modern day hack novelist with Hemingway. One has gone down in history, the other will be obscure in a decade and completely forgotten in 100 years.
They are. Shame you'll never get a conclusion because he's fat/lazy and gay IRL.
