damn GoT went woke.. who would have guessed smh

Alright f*** it I'm all in.

I was an angry man after game of thrones but I miss it now

Maybe the show deserves the hate it gets for the ending after all

Still hoping this flops so scumbag GRRM finished Winds

huh?

they cast black people in roles that make no sense

as a black man myself.. man this diversity hire s*** is ridiculous, it's ruining so many movies and TV shows

don't even get me started on women playing men roles.. if you want black people in prominent roles how about you create something ORIGINAL and stop changing the source material to fit your political ideology, it's disgraceful

the last show I thought this would affect would be anything GoT related

GoT is back

what a time to be alive

woke = you saw a black man and got upset

no you dumb nigga

when a black man plays a character that is "pale with purple eyes" you've got a problem

it creates a huge plot hole, why tf would i have an issue with black people in GoT? goofy ass nigga

i can shrug it off cuz he's not a targ he's a velaryon. they mixed with the targs and came from valyria as well, but they aren't the targs.

it's not gonna hinder my enjoyment of this at all. I will say they shoulda casted a brother with Chiwetel Ejiofor complexion rather than the guy they chose to help with that shrugging, but hey, it don't bother me.

i guess it works for people who don't truly know the story but you can't deny how dumb it is lol.. i have absolutely no problem whatsoever with black actors.. just make it make sense is all i'm saying

i just read the whole book my nigga i know the story, but im still gonna watch, but i'll concede on how lazy they're being with it. like if I was gonna do this i would have been a bit more particular like

I just checked the imbd and im not gonna hold you it's looking kinda crazy

and

making

im gonna sound colorist but shouldn't it be the other way around? LMAOOOOO

wym the other way around?

daemon and laena made baela, so shouldn't baela look more white than laena

im still finna watch nigga dragons idgaf

i guess it's 17 dragons in this mf. s*** about to be crazy.

the huge amount of dragons will only make them less exciting, also we wont get big battles with all the dragons in full scale/detail. CGIing these mfs is expensive af so dont get yalls hopes up

closest to an all out dragon affair is most definitely NOT gonna be in season 1 is all i'm finna say

Prince Daemon

Hard

the f***ing goat

"Right from the start I wanted the Targaryens, and by extension the Valryians from whom they were descended, to be a race apart, with distinctive features that set them apart from the rest of Westeros, and helped explain their obsession with the purity of their blood. To do this, I made a conventional ‘high fantasy’ choice, and gave them silver-gold hair, purple and violet eyes, fine chiseled aristocratic features. That worked well enough, at least in the books (on the show, less so).

But in recent years, it has occurred to me from time to time that it might have made for an interesting twist if instead I had made the dragonlords of Valyria… and therefore the Targaryens… black. Maybe I could have kept the silver hair too, though… no, that comes too close to ‘dark elf’ territory, but still… if I’d had dark-skinned dragonlords invade and conquer and dominate a largely white Westeros… though that choice would have brought its own perils. The Targaryens have not all been heroic, after all… some of them have been monsters, madmen, so…

Well, it’s all moot. The idea came to me about twenty years too late." -George RR Martin

you think this is race retconning co-signed by the man himself? couldn't go all the way with the targs, but the velaryons are largely absent from the show...

Good thing I don’t watch for dragons
