I can't hold it upright

>I can't hold it upright
do these weeabo retard writers realize that an actual sword only weighs like 10 pounds?

Do you remember the bit where Tarley is a gigantic fat man-baby who was considered an abject failure by his father to the point of telling him 'join the Night's Watch or I'll fucking kill you?' He spent the entirety of the battle of the Fist of the First Men wetting himself and failing at his job.

And Valyrian steel is lighter than normal steel, you need to spend more time training to increase your power level.

>Valyrian steel is lighter than normal steel
I think the writers forgot about this.
First episode this season arya complained that she didn't want a valyrian weapon because it was too heavy

This. Valyrian steel is supposed to be light as fuck. This is why Ned brought Ice with him in battle.

>10 pounds

Try like 6 for zweihanders

Why did nobody point out that Jaime was using Ned's old Valyrian? You'd think the Starks would want such a valuable heirloom back.

I’m beginning to suspect the tv show writers don’t follow this source material. Are there any other known instances of the show writers diverging inexplicably from the solid story telling delivered in the books?

The writers forgot.

>make yet another thread with the worst fucking photo quality in existence because you're lazy
>"y-you'd know what it was if you'd seen the episode it references!"

I think that sword was only ceremonial, it's absurdly large.

it's literally a raw screendump.
if you mean the quality of the release I couldn't care less about this show to waste ratio

I could maybe see it if the sword was terribly unbalanced. Anyone with zero arm strength wouldn't be able to HOLD it upright for any prolonged length of time. Considering that Valyrian swords are supposedly the pinnacle of master-crafted weapons, I don't think that would be a problem, save Ned's XL claymore.

I think that the writers just lasily threw that line in because they can't hold a sword upright or they've never handled swords.

>it's literally a raw screendump
Yeah no shit, half the catalog's full of this low-quality trash now INCLUDING that autistic general. Not talking about the actual footage, I don't give a shit about GoT.

Then why don't you hide the threads, go into ones you like, or make your own? What kind of self-aggrandizing, self-sucking retard goes into a retard to whine about it as if his word will effect change? Do you think you've accomplished something here?

Actually a claymore only weighs about 5-6 lbs, and even a Valerian Steel Zweihander wouldn’t weigh more than 7 pounds or so. But Sam is not in very good shape, and he did the right thing giving the sword to a true knight. I hope Jorah doesn’t die next episode, but even if he does, I know he will go down fighting like a champ.

what makes you think they know or care

Nah, he used it during Robert's Rebellion.

The Starks would definitely care about having Ice back in the family. Or do you mean the writers?

Ned's sword was melted down into two swords by Tywin Lannister. Jaime is using the one given to Joffrey, Widow's Wail, and he gave Brienne the one he was given, which she named Oathkeeper. Jaime is the only one that was explicitly told that they were made from Ned's sword, and it was said in private.

>Are there any other known instances of the show writers diverging inexplicably from the solid story telling delivered in the books?
5% of Season 1, 20% of Season 2, 40% of Season 3, 50% of Season 4, 70% of Season 5, and everything in Season 6, 7, and 8.

Then I guess Reformed Honorable Good Guy Jaime will let the Starks know and remain consistent with his characterization ;)

Still, you'd think the Starks would wonder about their old heirloom somewhere in the story. Or I don't know, nothing seems to matter on this show anymore.

Stop seething so goddamn much, you're defending garbage. If this shit can't be contained to a general, at least some quality thread beyond a throwaway line and a screengrab from literally anywhere should be expected.

>Do you think you've accomplished something here?
I made a GoT redditor mad.

Is it a regular-ass sword? Because those are typically around two and a half pounds. Swords are light as shit.

>Oh hey we need to move past the past and focus on what could possibly be the extinction of our species, but hey remember your decapitated father? Well here's the bastard transmutation of his blade; Brienne has the other. We'll reforge them together and you can hang it above the hearth to glint in the blue dragon flames ice-cooking our carcasses since your two best people weren't well equipped with the best steel available.

>defending
Quote a defense of the show in my post or slit your throat. You haven't done anything, the threads will persist regardless of what you want. There's absolutely nothing you can do here or elsewhere.

They make a big deal out of these things in the books. Ice has been passed down for thousands of years or something to that extent.

Why do you expect book quality past season 4? Just tuning in?

I don't think he's gotten that reformed or honorable just yet. He's fighting for his survival, and his unborn child's, as well as fulfilling a promise. That doesn't equate to Jaime wholly abandoning Circe. Not to mention the debate over whether or not to allow him to stay would have been a poor time to bring it up.

To play the what-if's, if he survives the battle with the NK, and especially if if Brienne doesn't, then that may be a good time to let a Stark have one or both.
