>Ruling is hard. This was maybe my answer to Tolkien, whom, as much as I admire him, I do quibble with. Lord of the Rings had a very medieval philosophy: that if the king was a good man, the land would prosper. We look at real history and it’s not that simple. Tolkien can say that Aragorn became king and reigned for a hundred years, and he was wise and good. But Tolkien doesn’t ask the question: What was Aragorn’s tax policy? Did he maintain a standing army? What did he do in times of flood and famine? And what about all these orcs? By the end of the war, Sauron is gone but all of the orcs aren’t gone – they’re in the mountains. Did Aragorn pursue a policy of systematic genocide and kill them? Even the little baby orcs, in their little orc cradles?
>What's his fucking problem? he's a hack who hasn't read LOTR, or he'd know that Orcs dont have babies they are made as adults.

It's such a bizzarely protestant outlook. GoT could only have been written by an ameritard. Kill the magic of legends with idiotic pragmatism.

He’s a bad writer so he made up some bullshit excuses and uninformed statements about bringing “realism” into fantasy (despite the fact that this has been done extensively by more competent writers before him) in order to elevate his position within the genre when in reality he’s just a lazy autist who wanted to create a lazy “low-fantasy” setting—itself largely ripped off of medieval England/Scotland/wales/Ireland—where he could act out his rape and incest fantasies under the guise of being a “visionary”.

>writing mythical languages is hard yes, tax rates thats the real issue eh Georgey.

And what about all thes White Walkers? By the end of the war, the Night King is gone and all of the White Walkers are gone. Arya pursued a policy of systematic genocide and killed them them all. Even the little white walkers, in their little white walker igloos.

Because that would allow the jews to eventually seize power and destroy middle earth.

he's an unintelligent, talentless, hack. he's also fat.
>The sect follows a religious text, The Way of Cross and Dragon, that describes the life of Iscariot, and revises his place in Christianity. The text describes how, born of a prostitute, Iscariot mastered the dark arts to become a tamer of dragons and the ruler of a great empire. After torturing and maiming Christ, Iscariot repented and relinquished his empire to become the penitent Legs of Christ, the first and best-beloved of the Twelve Apostles. Returning from proselytizing to find Christ crucified, an enraged Iscariot then destroyed the perpetrating empire and strangled St. Peter for renouncing Christ, only to discover, too late, Christ's Resurrection. Rejecting Judas' violence, Christ restored St. Peter to life and gave him the keys of the kingdom. St. Peter then suppressed the truth about Judas, vilifying his name and exploits. Seeking redemption for his wrath, Iscariot became the thousand-year-old Wandering Jew, before finally rejoining Christ in the Kingdom of God.
do you think JRR Tolkien would release two out of three LOTR books, then shit on his own readers by putting the final book on TV first?

>Criticises Tolkien for tax policy bullshit >No mention of how the Iron Throne taxes its nobility/smallfolk >Tywin rules for 20 years as Hand in peace and prosperity - no mention of how he achieved this >Tracts of farmland immediately south of the Wall twice as large as some European countries, entirely depopulated for no reason >Wealthiest family in the world have unlimited money because they have lots of gold mines!!!!
But I don't want to write books. I want to go to premieres and cons and fuck the pornstar who plays Shae

For all those who havent bothered wasting their time with LOLTR, heres all you need to know >200 pages of "dude elves lmao" >600 pages of random boring irrelevant shit for the sake of "muh world building" >evil guys hyped up to be some major apocalyptic force, effortlessly BTFO'd with literally no major casualties whatsoever >this bed time story crap is supposed to pass as masterful writing lmao Throw in some fancy mumbo jumbo,tons of bloat content that makes reading a chore, and there you have the LOLTR trilogy in a nutshell. This is the standard boomers and "Im so nerdy" hipster retards would have you judge books by, pathetic.
