“I admire Tolkien greatly. His books had enormous influence on me. And the trope that he sort of established—the idea of the Dark Lord and his Evil Minions—in the hands of lesser writers over the years and decades has not served the genre well. It has been beaten to death

the normiecore show is different from the books retard
Sure, what motivation does he have in the books again? You think he's gonna deliver a monologue in the books?
All those years of people theorizing and discussing things and now it's all NULL, and they ain't gonna get the books either
Don't read fantasy kids
If I was an ASOIAF fan who's been around for decades I'd probably kill myself after watching the last episode, thank fuck I know better than to get overinvested in this kinda shit
>LOL, you're such a man.
The NK just doesn’t exist in the books.
The is no Night King in the books, he's a dull big bad made entirely for the show.
Also the Others (white walkers on the show) aren't blue old men wearing medieval biker suits.
Night king isn't in the books dumbass.
yet
Women are a fucking meme and their stupid opinions should be ignored if the world is to unfuck itself
Euron Greyjoy is the big baddie in the books. But he's been dumbed down in the show for normie audiences.
The others in general then?
also he literally is mentioned he just hasn't show up on screen yet
>dumbed down
He hans't been dumbed down, hes just been cut from the story and replaced with edgy Jack Sparrow.
t. Eurinal
GIVE ME SANSA-HOUND ROMANCE REEEEEE
This, the closest we will get to a 'Night King' style character will be euron once he gets all his buffs.He already has his valyrian armor and is about to get a dragon and blood magic power up.
Book Night's King was a LC of the Night's Watch who fell for that Other pussy and got ganked by a wilding/KITN alliance.
Way to out yourself, retard.
>You never get into the nitty gritty of Aragorn ruling and what is his tax policy and what are his views on crop rotation
the man is a god
pretty sure in the books he was a LC who became an other
>The others in general then?
The books haven't explained what they are or want yet. They have appeared only a handful of times.
>also he literally is mentioned he just hasn't show up on screen yet
No, there is no Night King, there was the Night's King who was a lord commander that went rogue and did a lot of shady shit hundreds of years ago.
There is The Great Other (we also don't know shit about it), but that seems to be more of a god that works as the antitesis of the lord of light.
We not even sure he's alive.
We all know that the books with be better
>Euron and his brother
>The whole situation in Meereen
>The False Prince
>Stannis
>Dorne
>pretty sure in the books he was a LC who became an other
People become wights, there is the suspicion of craster's sons becoming Others like its shown in the show, but there is no confirmation.
>yeah but what was Aragorn's policy about tavern closing hours? And was the city guard paid overtime? What about the citadel guards? Did they recieve additional pay and further benefits?
Stannis in the books is about 2 seconds from dying and having his whole army wiped out lol
The only way the books should end is
>Starks have White Walker blood in them
>The Night's King (NOT the same thing as the Night King for you showplebs) was a Stark
>John makes peace with the WWs
Time and time again GRRM has been anti-war in his books it makes NO SENSE to end the conflict with a great big battle. It MUST be peace or the books are irredeemably shit just like the show
It was over a century ago IIRC.
checkovs gun
I unironically would enjoy reading a book following Aragorn going through everyday hurdles and noble conspiracies trying to rule Gondor after the great threat of Sauron is gone
>"We Free Folk have our stories, too. About how one of your King Crows found something... cold in the woods, with bright blue eyes. How he brought her home through your Wall and declared himself "Night's King.""
The Night's King in the books sounds way more based than the complete cuck in the show.
>he thinks stannis will live in the books
oh boy
It will be better than this shit, just because KBTW is still alive and Theon is in Winterfell.
Also
>"As for the Night's King (the form I prefer), in the books he is a legendary figure, akin to Lann the Clever and Brandon the Builder, and no more likely to have survived to the present day than they have."
GRRM outright confirming his Night's King is just a legendary mythic figure. Not some big bad Lich King dude.
Brandon the breaker probably just killed the Night's King, seein how he wanted to erase him from history and all.
I mean, the guy in the show was just some dude that got turned into a weapon while the Night's King was a LC that wanted necromantic powers and cold pussy.
>showfags who are too retarded to pick up a book
Shit like this is why I enjoy the Star Wars Prequels, dammit gimme actual politics and not these dumb political games
ASOIAF politics is pretty fun. I really liked how absurdly complex it got in ADWD. So much that it got the writer stuck for a decade.
Reminder that the fatman will never have a moment as kino as Theoden reawakening

The food riot went into the right direction, just show the internal struggles and issues while fighting this epic war.
Women were a mistake.
To be fair most men are dumb as shit aswell.
I'm pretty sure he's delaying as much he can until the show is over and there's a huge "need" for the book version of the events.
At least I would do like that if I was a jew.
>thinking stars wars prequels showcased actual politics
Stupidity isn't a pit. Stupidity is a ladder.
>This, the closest we will get to a 'Night King' style character will be euron once he gets all his buffs.He already has his valyrian armor and is about to get a dragon and blood magic power up.
He's like a RPG character leveling up and obtaining epic magical gear. I love it.
I mean he still had a steward to handle the finer points.
