>Taking place thousands of years before the events of Game of Thrones, the series chronicles the world’s descent from the golden Age of Heroes into its darkest hour. From the horrifying secrets of Westeros’s history to the true origin of the White Walkers, the mysteries of the East to the Starks of legend, only one thing is for sure: It’s not the story we think we know.
>SJ Clarkson will direct the pilot episode, and also executive produce the series. HBO confirmed the news. Clarkson has previously directed episodes of The Defenders, Jessica Jones, and Dexter, among others.
>Oscar nominee Naomi Watts will play a lead character in the series, described as “a charismatic socialite hiding a dark secret.” Just one day later, Deadline reported that Poldark star Josh Whitehouse will play another lead, though we know even less about his character than Watts'. The same goes for the other cast members, all of whom are playing series regulars and were announced this past week: Naomi Ackie (Lady MacBeth), Denise Gough (Colette), Jamie Campbell Bower (The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones), Sheila Atim (Harlots), Ivanno Jeremiah (Doctor Who), Georgie Henley (the Narnia series), Alex Sharp (To The Bone), and Toby Regbo (Reign).
Even the normies hate got now. The spinoffs are all gonna bomb hard.

Asher Nguyen
yikes

Isn't this shit supposed to be 8000 years in the past? I can't imagine them properly portraying what society would be like then.
Anthony Lopez
>thousands of years before the events of Game of Thrones
Yet they'll still have the same level of technology and civilization. A frozen world permanently in the middle ages. Roman Empire at most. Thousands of years still using bows and arrows, no gunpowder, etc. I'm so sick of this trope.
at least the white walkers still look like old white men.
Samuel Morgan
Let me guess, the Last Hero is a nigger. Doesn't matter anyway, it'll get two seasons and be canceled.

You mean the retards that got killed by a teenage assassin? How the fuck could anyone possible care at this point.
Blake Miller
Lemme guess, the kneegrows are House Stark.
Ryan Brown
This cast, apart from Naomi, looks like something out of a cheap BBC series.
Carson Martinez
At least the actors are already Bonged so we don't have to see them get ugly
Carter Flores
Fucking hate this shit, couldn't take Lord of the Rings seriously too.
Alexander Cooper
You don't know how right you could be. House Stark has died once already, surviving only through the female line with a daughter that married a wildiling. It could be easy to racemix the two and have the child come out white.
Julian Smith
Weird thing is that its already outlined that thousands of years ago westeros was filled with bronze age savages
Leo Smith
They went through a ston, bronze, iron and steel age. The maesters are responsible for the slow rates of technological improvement
Brody Allen
*ahem* FUCK YOU AND FUCK WHIG HISTOGRAPHY
Easton Cruz
Will it be based around GRRM writing? Or it will be TV written?
The world fell into the dark age because women were not in power. Mark my fucking words.
Kevin Rodriguez
This sounds like Emmy bait, SJW trash. Even normies hate everything GOT related because he added up to nothing.
Connor White
I was interested in the main series of books even after reading A Dance with Dragons, maybe because I was too invested, but the years passed and I dropped it completely around 2015 or 2016 because GRRM clearly doesn't care. I really don't think people will watch this shit after the season finally because even normies were mad with GoT.
Ayden Rogers
>Yet they'll still have the same level of technology and civilization. A frozen world permanently in the middle ages. Roman Empire at most. Thousands of years still using bows and arrows, no gunpowder, etc. I'm so sick of this trope.
ASoIaF is set in roughly a Wars of the Roses tech period. 1000 years before the Wars of the Roses the western Roman Empire was close to collapsing. But 1000 years before ASoIaF they were in a bronze age.
Eli Robinson
Can't wait for all the interracial BMWF sex scenes! Will HBO show full penetration this time?
Dylan Garcia
Let's be honest
All these black actors will play non human creatures like White Walkers and Children of Forest
Christian Russell
>You mean the retards that got killed by a teenage assassin? How the fuck could anyone possible care at this point.
It's like how they turned Han Solo into some old, washed up loser who gets ganked by his own son, then they make a movie about him when he was young like anybody should care.
Oliver White
The fat fuck was consulted, probably. By consulted I mean, he was paid to pretend to care and talk about the show during interviews.
Ethan Scott
>prequel for a shitty old tv show. BIG YIKES FROM ME.
Just make it fucking stop this story is fucking dead
Michael Sanders
Naomi Watts is probably gonna pull a Sean Bean
Jaxson Baker
YES WE WILL STILL HAVE DOZENS AND DOZENS OF GOT THREADS FOR MANY MORE YEARS MUHAHAHAHA
Matthew Taylor
It's actually the opposite. Magic was responsible for the slow technological advancement. The maesters are the ones trying to snuff out magic and pull the world out of the dark ages.
Jose Moore
>Naomi Ackie (Lady MacBeth), Denise Gough (Colette), Jamie Campbell Bower (The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones), Sheila Atim (Harlots), Ivanno Jeremiah (Doctor Who), Georgie Henley (the Narnia series), Alex Sharp (To The Bone), and Toby Regbo (Reign).
I don't understand some of these names. Why the fuck did Martin sign off on calling somebody "Harlots"?
Jason Gomez
These all sound exactly like Caprica
Benjamin Price
These are not names user, those are the TV shows/films the actors are most well known for...
Michael Jenkins
This is like buying the DLC to see the real ending.
Jackson Rivera
They better fookking book Rami Djawadi
Dylan Wright
Game of Thrones ended 20 years ago, who the fuck is gonna watch this shit? It's like if they made a Mary Poppins sequel today.
Robert Baker
No
Oliver White
When you look at how long some of the oldest civilizations have lasted without inventing all this stuff, you'll see it's much more plausible than it seems at first.
Nicholas Taylor
Too many white people.
Easton Fisher
The world of ice and fire book is fucking huge, there's so much content for them to use.
Landon Mitchell
He is never going to finish those books. He is enjoying Hollywood tok much. Even though the liberals are using him to push their agenda.
Charles Harris
between 0AD and 1000AD you'd think the world had regressed except in mesopotamia where the opposite happened(only mesopotamia had regressed since 1000BC)
Carter King
There's literally no point in watching it then. Their worldbuilding is horrid and they constantly gloss over the "weirder" aspects of the world because they think it's too "nerdy". They dislike magic, so at best we will get CGI dragons like Danny again rather than "nerdy" shit. They are unable to do clever and long term writing, so plotting and scheming are off the table. They are unable to make compelling battles because that's too "nerdy". They bend to fans desire, so never there will be a red wedding or Ned execution. If they are just cashing in, I'd guess we will have: >Girl who has dragon (Danny Stand-in) >Righteous good guy guy (Jon Stand-in) >Beast trope guy (Sandor Stand-in) >Funny mercenary guy (Bronn Stand-in) >Badass power girl (Arya Stand-in) On their quirky adventures to kill the previous Night King.
I WILL WATCH THIS KINO. AND I WILL RELENTLESSLY CREATE GOT THREADS. MUHAHAHAHA
Thomas Lewis
Also there will be love triangles.
Andrew Flores
and you know this how?
Give em credit this isn't being run by D&D and Westworld has been 2Deep for average viewers
Dylan Edwards
NO NO MORE
Carson Ramirez
OH YES THERE WILL BE MORE MUHAHAHAHA
Isaac Hall
>Westworld has been 2Deep for average viewers user...
Ethan Harris
Oh so that’s why they didn’t explain ANYTHING about the Others or the NK in the show. Fucking losers
Joshua Brown
It's not written by D&D, so I'll keep an open mind.
Jaxson Sanders
What were bronze age socialites like?
Michael Johnson
I don't care enough to watch this. Hopefully some nudity from Watts and the Narnia girl for webms sake.
Carson Rivera
The problem isn't D&D, if anything GRRM to D&D resulted in good results. D&D without GRRM started to shit the bed when source material run out, and now the idea is that not even source material will be there. It's basically any other show, except now people are cheering because the setting is the same of the show who made you interested for it's writing. It definitely has potential to be good, but from this it seems it's just a "by the people who watched Game of Thrones!" show.
Henry Torres
based retard
Alexander Jones
Naked
Ayden Mitchell
Question for the book fans, is there a reason why the houses are so small? Like House Stark is supposed to be 8000 years old, shouldn't there be an enormous amount of cousins?
Caleb Wright
It's never really explained why the Starks are so small, but there are dozens more Lannisters and Tyrells than in the show.
Juan Wright
I know the answer but I'm not a fan and since your question if only for fans I will not answer you.
Thomas Martinez
>to the true origin of the White Walkers
Didn't we already see the origin with the Children of the Forest and creation of the Night King?
Cameron Wilson
Tyrells,Martells,Lannisters,Greyjoys all have more members in the books, i believe sweetrobin also has a cousin (I read the books 7 years ago, forgive me if Im wrong about that.The Starks have so many cousins they made their own Houses (Karstark and Greystark,Greystark were wiped out by the Starks)
Logan Cox
No. Fuck off. Go do your advertising somewhere else, shill.
Jose Lee
There is a curse.
Thomas Kelly
t. Grand Maester Barbo Forel
Zachary Anderson
The cast makes it look like a teen-targeting show.
Female director/producer, selected entirely for virtue points, which means there will be lots of feminist propaganda, lots of interracial sex and the blonde blue-eyed guy will be a super evil racist.
Show me anywhere that indicates wildings are niggers.
I'll wait.
Adam Murphy
but that's intentional because diversity and representation. Like Rose from star wars
Angel Powell
>there are no asians in space!
Logan Sanchez
they had dragons and magic why the fuck would they need gunpowder
Nicholas Foster
Niggers? No thank you.
Lincoln Roberts
>They're not even attractive Welcome to Woke Hollywood. The more females working behind the camera in studios the uglier the people in front of the camera get. This thing had a sex scene in a SyFy miniseries based on a GRRM novella............with a black girl that was just as ugly.
The family tree has blood through all the North houses and there's a large cadet branch in the form of the Karstarks, but GRRM dodges the question as to why there's only a single line of descent in the main Starks.
Ayden Bennett
ugly people have no place on large screens.
Camden Long
>Arya and Sansa Dark no thanks, shmuli
Jeremiah Young

They lost a good opportunity to set it in a sci-fi/technologically advanced past. Not enough TV shows have this trope.
Samuel Edwards
We're not allowed to escape into fantasy or sci fi anymore. It was our last refuge. But they found out, and now it's the same old parade of ugly women, niggers, and trannies.
One of martin's projects WILL have a tranny main character. Just watch. It's coming, and you're powerless to stop it.
Joseph Williams
She was pretty cute in King Kong, really the only reason to watch that movie. But she hasn't aged well since then.
Lucas Smith
post tits
Jacob Morris
Please never change ppl tv. Only a fraction of my friends agree with me when I drop shows / movies for forced diversity, and it pisses me off
Levi Jackson
Did Valyria exist during the Age of Heroes? I don't think a ASOIAF show without dragons/Targaryens will be well received/alluring to the public.
Blake Hughes
Because it's true. Everything awful about humanity, GRRM has taken inspiration from real life. And the problem is usually religion causing it. Pic related.
An outline built of pre hysterical reference in the Song of ice and fire novels
Would be cute if they included the semi related kids book the ice dragon as that takes place when winterfell is a village
Lincoln Price
That's all real life history was for thousands of years. It's only in the past couple hundred that things have jumped forward, and only the past 130 or so that things have really improved.
Jacob Williams
WE WUZ VALERIYANS N SHIT
Alexander Reyes
>Yet they'll still have the same level of technology and civilization.
There were no other races for White people to steal advanced technology from.
Hunter Bailey
>One of the main characters, a POV core cast member, is a platinum blonde black female dragon-rider - one of her parents was a white Valyrian, the other a foreigner, leading some to deny that she's a "real" Valyrian.
Let me just guess, and this is a complete stab in the dark with no basis whatsoever, her dad is black and so is her love interest
Christian Nguyen
So the three eyed raven and the children of the forest are the true villains?
>Something like a third to a half of the cast are non-white characters - multiple members of the primary cast. It explicitly instructs this in their casting sheets. >This also extends to diversity of female and LGBT characters, several of whom are also core cast members. >Something like a third to a half of this prequel series is actually set in Sothoryos, George R.R. Martin's fantasy version of Africa, mentioned in ASOIAF and The World of Ice and Fire. Sothoryos and Valyria are the two big axes around which the show revolves: the tension between the capital city and its provinces. >The capital of Sothoryos, one of the major settings of the action, is conceptually supposed to be "Roman North Africa", a mix of Carthage and Constantinople, a major port city with a multi-racial society. Looking at a map, I would guess pre-Doom Zamettar. >Thus, most of the characters there are "non-white": according to the casting calls, they're looking for variously African, Asian, other groups (it's a very mixed, "melting pot" port city). >One of the main characters, a POV core cast member, is a platinum blonde black female dragon-rider - one of her parents was a white Valyrian, the other a foreigner, leading some to deny that she's a "real" Valyrian. >One of the other main characters is a self-made former slave, a deceptively matronly-looking Asian woman in her 50s, that's now not only one of the richest citizens but also a major political leader and government intrigue-player.
Liam Cook
>a charismatic socialite Socialites existed 8000 years ago?
Nathaniel Rodriguez
*farts loudly* Here's your prequel bro
Juan Edwards
Screenshot this:
They will make a wakanda nigger house and GRRM will just go with it, or he'll be dead.
Seeing this image always fills me with shame, because it makes me remember I was once the kind of person who would unironically reference it. "Scientific Advancement"as a numerically quantifiable axis on a graph, no source, snarky motivational poster format. This image is "le fedora tip meme" the infographic.
Owen Kelly
WAKANDA FOREVER
Aaron Morgan
implying the kangz wont introduce everyone to their flying pyramids
There are other races besides niggers and crackers. Why does diversity always=nigs? Why no chinks or poos or injuns or abos? It's always nogz
Thomas Allen
what would janey-e do with dragons, /tpg/?
Jaxon Morgan
The long winters resets the planetos civilizations, thus preventing progress.
Jordan Clark
They're worth more points in left thinking because they're the most racist cunts I've ever met. Even makes me blush.
Eli Kelly
I used to believe that Christianity was the worst religion ever constructed by mankind. Now that I have personally met Muslims, Jews, Sikhs, Hindus, Pagans, and familiarized myself with their theologies, I'm actually kind of glad that I live in a Christian-majority area.
Jacob Myers
Reminds me the other night in a video about GOT there was a quote from one of the costume designers that was basically this
"We were told to make the Night King and his Generals costumes and armor look like they were repurposed from technology from a fallen advanced civilization"
Carson Williams
It's always weird to me when medieval stories do prequels and sequels set hundreds or thousands of years apart. They should at least have invented steam machines by that point
Daniel Perry
They will be playing children of the forest, there won't be anything like House Dindu or Ser Tyrone.
Jackson Gray
Wait isn’t Watts one in the heap of celebs that are playing eugenics with their children?
Juan Thompson
That cast is ugly as fucking shit except for Naomi Watts and the girl in the bottom left corner. Why is this so common nowadays?
Jacob Rivera
>Ivanno Jeremiah (Doctor Who) damn I really thought Doctor Who was gonna be in Westeros too
Anthony Hernandez
I'm the less racist person you can find in this board, but why are there black people in westeros??? It doesn't make sense, or they are from west of westeros??? They better come up with a good explanation on these characters.
Robert Wilson
Well I guess turning her kids into trannies did get her a job
Ryder Powell
>Jessica Jones >All those nogs Lol not gonna watch
Zachary White
Lots of it is going to taste place is Essos apparently

Not for much longer, start hoarding that indoor plumbing.
Sebastian Morales
medieval daughters of royalty were a thing yes. >inb4 "8000 years was before medieval times!" see
Nathaniel Rogers
Well, that's, something, but what does Essos have to do with the White Walkers? Again, they better come up with a good explanation here. By the way, is there any mention of what's west of Westeros in the books yet?
Bentley Myers
They can't fuck up that bad surely
Sebastian Morales
Literally turning it into a Liberal learning lesson, why can't they ever stop and just tell a fucking story
Brody Gray
Wait Niggthoryos had civilization?
Jordan Hughes
They should do medieval tech but with bicycles.
William Harris
For some reason this world seems pretty damn interesting yet all we got in the series was boring people on boring cities. I will give this a chance since it might deepend on the fantasy side of the story that always got my attention from episode 1, but they might also focus on more boring people on boring cities so, let's see what they can do, and also let's see if the fat bastard recognize the story as canon.
Justin Kelly
>muh diversity able to force three niggers in there, yet could have had one chink, one spic, and one nigger instead.
Lucas Bailey
>You mean the retards that got killed by a teenage assassin? How the fuck could anyone possible care at this point. Yep. Going into this you already know they get BTFO in a single episode, so why care?
Brody Carter
>drop They still watched the whole season and continued to spend hours of their pathetic lives discussing it. You have to be kidding.
Gabriel Lewis
lowest iq take and the entire reason everything since season 4 has been complete garbage
Connor Murphy
It's honestly not that implausible that they would be stuck in some kind of 15-16th century technology if they didn't have an easily accessible fuel source like coal.
Ethan Howard
They're going to get the Alduin treatment. Essentially, a much bigger threat that was thwarted in ancient times - but merely postponed for future generations to worry about. The Others we see in the show are considerably less powerful than they once were, yadda yadda.
Colton Martinez
How the fuck did it take so long for bikes to be invented IRL???
Jonathan Ross
um no sweaty, diversity means black people. you should have learned this in college.
Part of me wants to see this but now that I know the NK and White Walkers go out like little bitches as soon as they start doing anything, why should I give a shit? It's hard to care about the "world" after that shitty last season.
Easton Roberts
Nice.
Caleb Hughes
the idea of a christian dark ages is a retarded meme that needs to die.
This and all the rest of them are going to be absolute shit and NO ONE is going to give a fuck about new characters. GoT was a one time thing and they blew it hard.
Dominic Sullivan
It just writes itself. One adjective after another.
