Game of Thrones (**No Spoilers**)

[maskedmelon]

So, I started watching this over the weekend and am liking it so far despite all the gore and misogyny. I accidentally started with Season 2 though somehow and now that I am back at Season 1 it seems the world wasn't as shitty as it is in Season 2. Still pretty dark, but at least a few decent human beings. Seems like the only ones from Season 2 were Tyrion, Varys and John Snow.



Oh yeah, fuck the Lannisters.

[big_ole_jpn]

mods please merge this thread we already have one

[maskedmelon]

This thread is about what I e watched so far and contains no spoilers. That other thread contains spoilers. I cannot participate in that discussion without spoiling the story. We can discuss the early parts of the story here (I just finished episode 4 (or maybe 6?) of season one after mistakenly watching all of season 2 ^^

[Daywolf]

... Hodor?

[maskedmelon]

... Hodor?

Yeah, he and the Stark children don't seem evil. I meant more of the power players though. The folk of Winterfell seem like a respectable lot in general.

[Daywolf]

Yeah, he's not an evil character. Here's a non-spoiler spoiler from S04 (https://youtu.be/997lGD65WNc) :D
Are you binge watching it? I started at the end of season 2, went back and watched the first two seasons then onward during the run. My fav char was Ned Stark since I like Sean Bean's acting in most stuff he's done, including his ES:Oblivion voice acting. If you think the story is dark now... hehehe

[Kaosfury]

Lol

Medievil themed soap operas. Floppy weiners in every episode.

Kind of funny they make this drive,l but won't create a real Dungeons & Dragons movie even though that is the foundation of all the midevil movies and shows we have today. Every one is entitled to their opinion. Glad your liking it

Yeah ^^ well, sorta. I am watching it until I finish season one, then have to wait through Black November until I find a box set of all 6 seasons on BD for a reasonable discount.

What weiners? Not seen any of those yet, but it is full of unhappy 'love' scenes :/ Bought it at Walmart though, do they sell censored versions like they do with music? Cannot understand why wiener would be more offensive than human entrails tbh. Perhaps I've just not reached the wiener episodes.

Also, there is a Dingeons and Dragons movie. It is pretty silly though^^

[big_ole_jpn]

Medievil

who else was triggered sound off

[maskedmelon]

Well, I've not gotten very far into it yet, but if I am understanding Daywolf's suggestion about how dark it is, I think panevil or maybe intraevilmight be more appropriate. Medievil just sounds too mediocre.

[AzzarTheGod]

Yeah people don't realize how heavy the misogyny was in the first 2-3 seasons.

Its use of sex for supposition was highly controversial. My sister quit watching it because she got busy irl, but this was cited as an aside.

[Daywolf]

For dark? I'm not talking about that or any social justice issues. I mean like torture and murder, even mass murder. The cruelty of the show deepens with every season. I wouldn't let children watch it, it's desensitizing.

Yeah, that is how I understood it ^^ I already almost had to turn it off a few times and regularly turn down volume at parts I feel are going to get nasty. Tbh, the gore is just plain gross, but the implied violence and intent is equally disturbing. And by mysogyny I'm not making light of the word I'm talking about the portrayal of women as property and matter-of-fact presentation of rape. It is a dark world and makes me thankful I do not live in the tenth century, because aside from the lack of magic, would not have been all that far off.

Oh you did mention misogyny, I thought AtG brought it up after I mentioned it growing darker by each season. By the end of the op I was processing the gore of it, while the mention of the other slipped my mind since I don't see that as an issue in the show so much. Well apart from in taverns, ya know? I mean in comparison to men outside of the taverns, everyone is pretty pretty much property out there. The other side of the wall is the only exception.

As for historical value, or how cultures once were, accuracy is about = 0. In a lot of ways, this fits more of modern culture than it does of culture in the 10'th century. And also depending on what part of the 10th century world, where as many parts of our modern world are much worse today than what GoT creates in it's fantasy world. It's purposely made that way, I could tell you the conspiracy theory of it :) (which has some merit actually).

But apart from starting in on that :D ...as for magic, you just haven't gotten far enough into the series yet. Such as the red witch, or the faceless, or the little druid midget thingies. Even the white walkers. Actually it gets pretty heavy into mysticism and such things.

[maskedmelon]

Booooo! I just made it through episode 6 (or or maybe it was 7?) last night and am aghast the treachery of Lord Balish. He seemed like a weasely turd lacking in conscience before, but super unhappy now. Definitely made a calculated decision, so can't fault that, but still going to levy a heavy amount of blame on him for the fallout. The rest of the blame of course goes to Lady Stark :c Oh my gosh! What was she thinking!? (or not thinking?). Oh! And Renily! Wtf? I guess the more I think about it the entire situation couldn't have really been any shittier. Oh well.

I will say though, that aside from Tyrion being the only "good" Lanister, the um, forget his name, Grandpa Lanister is respectable and to me seems most fit to be king. He's smart and strong, but reasonable. Unfortunately he has an unwavering love for his shitty family. Oh well.

[Spyder73]

This meme pretty much sums up the first 6 seasons

Yeah, GoT first wiener last night. Didn't seem gay, but wasn't particularly praiseworthy either. Looked broken and underfed. I don't remember any wieners from season 2. Oh, no wait, was double wiener last night. Forgot about the second one cause was so far away. The directors sure aren't shy about showing naked ugly people though. Lots of sad boobs too :/

[big_ole_jpn]

There was NICE weiner in the latest season, swear that boy was underage

[Hoozi]

... Hodor?

HOLD THE DOOR!

[AenorVZ]

sound off

[Angushjalmur]

Call it misogyny all you want, but look at what started happening to america once we began letting women vote.

[maskedmelon]

Finished Season 1 last night and I cannot wait for Joffrey to die. Even there has been no indication that he will, he must or this is a shit story ^^ Also, dont particularly care for the Targaryen girl either. She has the same nastiness as all the other rulers (except the Starks). Also actually thought more about the mysogyny last night and realized that the shitheads practicing it are really mostly just shitheads to everyone equally, so not mystifying per se. Still unsettling though :/ but then so is the gore.

Also, I understand the wiener meme now. More wiener last night lol ^^. I don't think there was any wiener in Season 2.

[AzzarTheGod]

Dawg u kno I kno about that.

Elites love it tho. Let's them play democrat republican cheech n chong better. Women's emotions are great for making bullshit issues "important".

[maskedmelon]

There are no more women unqualified to vote than men. Testosterone is as dementing as estrogen. So women spend 5 days a month a bit frazzled, so what? Men become impaired every time they see concentric circles. I'm just waiting for

Women are also less diverse than men, clustering more intensely around the mean intelligence. There are many more men at the highest levels of intelligence, but there are also many more men at the lowest levels of intelligence, so in reality, everyone is more likely to suffer from poor choices from men than women.

The greatest challenge for women is that most leaders are men because men are naturally more dominant than women no matter how astute or aggressive a woman may be. That is a problem for women who wish to compete as men in men's arenas because just as men generally have no fucking idea how women think, women struggle with the simplicity of male thought, so there are communication challenges.

It's stupid to try to compete as a man with a man when you are not in fact a man though. Women wield considerable powers of manipulation, but are generally reluctant to use them because of the primitive notion that manipulation is somehow inferior to force or threat thereof since it doesn't deny the opposition their liberty. Why exert yourself in a fight when you can make a friend, or otherwise get what you want? Winning is winning.

Lots of other things to consider when limiting voting rights that have far more relevance than sex lol.

Number one problem is the modern perversion of feminism praising maleness in females, encouraging women to be more like men rather than praising feminity. That's the reason so many women support Hillary: 'cause she's strong :/

[Angushjalmur]

Wow what a dark heart you must have, azzar jones

It was a joke lol. For real though thats when america started going to shit. Democrats flooded the ballots with a demographic that could be easily pandered to. Same thing happened once black people started being counted as a whole vote, not 3/5ths. Democrats pandered to them to use them as a political force.

I don't think it's because Hillary is strong. Evil? Yes. Sneaky? Yep. Greedy? Uh huh. Strong? Absolutely not. It's because she's a woman, and this version of feminism is so preoccupied with being overtly sexist towards men that they clearly can't vote for a fucking white male. Having a vagina (allegedly) is the only qualifier for them.


There are also those who vote for the party, not the candidate. Those people are almost as bad as the sexist voters supporting hillary, and the racist ones we had supporting obama when he was running.

[AzzarTheGod]

Universal suffrage was a means to putting the political process into a standstill.

It has been a permanent fix, you might say. When the fix backfired (JFK was the first president to use the black vote to seize power, and then used his power to attempt real meaningful change) they took care of it.

Universal suffrage since the 1960's has been working as intended. Keeping the cheech and chong going and focusing on non-issues like if I prefer marriage to men or women or dicks in ass or not and who prefers what and how we should refer to them in the workplace, etc.

Meanwhile social security remains rank 29th out of 33th first world countries pension plans. That's pushing 3rd world status.

Suffrage yall. Big fat lips and flat chested feminists.

[AenorVZ]

Jon Snow dies.

[maskedmelon]

So I've made it through season 4 and while happy with some of the events there, I am pretty darn frustrated and understand why this show has been so successful. It seems like every resolution is accompanied by two new problems. I also find the amount of gore still disturbing even though I don't see melt of it. Some scenes jet last longer than they should. Starting g to think this show is designed to corrupt people. More than once, I have found myself genuinely getting happy when I realized certain characters were going to die.



Oh yeah, fuck the mountain. Someone needs to flay that bastard and feed him to himself.

[Swish]

The best thing about the whole series is seeing two sides to most of the main characters...everyone has a shit side to them, it's just more prevalent in some characters than others :D

[Spyder73]

The best thing about the whole series is seeing full frontal male nudity

[AenorVZ]

Preston Jacobs' season review for the last season was the greatest takedown of all the instances where they've wasted screen time on shit like Arya sweeping.

[maskedmelon]

I am up through season 5 now and have to say wow. Genuinely disturbed by Aria's development. Someone needs to kill that puppy and end her misery before she goes rabid :c Also, getting really annoyed with Sir Whateverthefuck (the one who wants to bone Denerys). I don't trust him.

[AzzarTheGod]

lol interesting comment...He is pathetic in the books.

People thought he was way too cool on the show. The show buffed his character up big time. Big time....

Well, I suppose that may be unfair, but she obviously not interested. What is creepy though is the immoral things he willing to do for her. How is that even remotely flattering? It's not. It just says you're a fucking weirdo with no spine. AND on top of it, he is knowingly endangering her by exposing her to his nasty ass disease (♯｀∧´)

[AzzarTheGod]

No thats fair, they did make him the eventual creepy loser, took some time though.

[big_ole_jpn]

sir rockskin is the bomb (in the show). he knows she's righteous so he'll do w/e nasty biz to make sure she reigns. I don't get why she bones that other less good looking f*g instead.

[maskedmelon]

Well, I was rooting for him too up until his exile when he started being a bit shady. Like how he treated Tyrion; though i suppose he had just cause for suspicion. There just so few decent people in the show that it bithers me when when one get mistreated and i feel like that person must be bad then. BUT THEN, he comes back to her with his disease!

Don't get me wrong, I thoijt she was being am unfair bitch when she booted him, but last few episodes just diminished his standing in my eyes for those reasons above.

[big_ole_jpn]

tyrion murdered his hooker slut girlfriend for being a hooker slut, he's hardly a blatantly decent dude altho he does have some nuance to him. much like sir rockdick

[Angushjalmur]

Spoiler alert


The mountain is actually actor and professional overweight guy Hafthor Bjornsson

[maskedmelon]

Yeah, that part was super sad :c I think and it seemed that she never actually loved him and she was just using him. That or she felt used and hated him for it enough to testify against him. That was just wrong. Even if she needed to for her own safety, ok fine, but then she still was pissed to see him when he found her. That means she was just an evil bitch ( *｀ω´)

That guy is so huge he has to wear a compression band on his lower left leg to prevent swelling/stroke/arrest risk.

She's obviously obsessed with age. The young wild cock was the emotionally safer option for her insecurities she harbors.

It was an immature decision and makes you question her maturity. Not great move for a queen

[maskedmelon]

Let's be honest. Rodrick never really did anything for her. I mean yeah, he advised her and stuff, but never really did anything for her. Daario ain't exactly perfect, but he did do things for her. Even if his motivations weren't entirely pure, he didn't hide them. He basically an open book. That's why she kept brushing him off for so long because she knew what he wanted. She wasn't chasing him lol. He practically stood there and begged her to take him. He hardly a threat. She's been in control the whole time.

Roderick on the otherhand keeps his ambitions in the dark and never once done anything special for her to demonstrate his love. And WTF is he doing back there with that diseas without telling anyone!? I guess my general distaste for Brodrick is that he's not much of a man and a not even remotely comforting. How can she feel safe when he's all sulking and hiding shit.

[xKoopa]

Rodrick is the guy from winterfell?

das pretty dope o(^_-)O

[Angushjalmur]

Why? How do you have swelling/stroke/arrest w/o it and why it fix it?

Powerlifters use wraps to add compression to ligament/tendon/muscle insertions so that when they go to lift an inordinate amount of weight, their bodies dont literally rip apart. Idk what Azzar is talking about with the swelling/stroke/arrest stuff.

I've never had a muscle tear completely off the bone (like a biceps when deadlifting with a mixed grip), but I've had a pec tear pretty severely and I cant imagine how bad the former would hurt. I lift without wraps, belts ect, because i feel like it's cheating, but I also don't lift at the level a professional powerlifters do.

[maskedmelon]

Yuhckh. Don't they like use canvas clothes and stuff too to assist? I remember reading something one time and wondering why it had (shirt) after a weight.

[Angushjalmur]

Yeah but it's more along the lines of wetsuit material. for the benchpress sometimes they'll wear special shirts that pull the shoulders and upper arms forward so they can lift more. That's why I consider it cheating. If you cant lift it naked, you cant actually lift it

[maskedmelon]

Yeah, I think that makes sense because anyone can use the shirt and then it is just a matter of learning to use the shirt effectively. It almost becomes a different activity and doesn't make sense to compare to the original.

[xKoopa]

bench shirts are dum tbh

using belts and stuff is fine if ur goin ham but if ur deadlifting 225 lbs with a belt ur a fuckin tool

[AzzarTheGod]

Why? How do you have swelling/stroke/arrest w/o it and why it fix it?

the vascular damage in the trouble area (usually the ankle) builds up over time from the lack of proper vein. it starts causing "varicose veins" and blood pools there.

When youre young, you can get away with it. When youre 50+, inflammatory substances and other stuff change the game...the pooling is no longer as safe.

can try to snap a pic of my own vascular damage from living the big life 10 years ago.

I have a visible big bruise on my left ankle area, same area the Mountain is wearing the band in his workout videos.

[maskedmelon]

So, I made it up through episode 9 of season 6. One more epi and I caught up I guess. I have to say, I am super pleased with the developments this season. So much good stuff! About fucking time right? Anyway, I am happy with the developments in the north and am actually somewhat conflicted about the high sparrow. I didn't like that order at first and still don't really, but he seems to be genuinely interested in doing what is fright, he's just blind to his own delusion :c Reminds me a lot of Obama in that regard.

The mountain is still a fucking freak and I'd like to see Cersei send him in to wreck the sparrows. SO many shitheads would die ^^ I'd be so happy ^^ Kinda feel bad for thinking that though :c Glad to see Aria sort of straighten out and pretty happy with the developments in the north except for the little green people, so sad :c Always upsets me when otherwose immortal characters die or or maimed or whatever, like when that one elf captain guy died in the Two Towers :c

OH! That reminds me! The reunion! That was super sad too, well, not really sad, should have just been super happy, but still made me cry for some reason lol. I guess just because everything they had went through and stuff.

Also happier with Jora. I dunno, he was starting to seem kinda scummy, but has thoroughly redeemed himself and that other Don Juan McJackass is really turning out to be quite a dick when not around Denerys.

Don't like the developments in the iron islands either. Omgosh that guy has a shit personality and has a particular brand of ugliness (his face, gross) that I find exceptionally repulsive. I mean, there are lots of ugly people in the world, but anyone find particular styles of faces to be particularly disgusting even if they are more balanced or less grotesque than others? For example, I think Sir Gregor is better looking than this shit in the iron islands.

Oh no, it is pretty darn good. Well, it is very well produced. I am actually not sure about the story tbh. It's just that GRRM is a big fucking dick who likes to piss you off and does he excel at pissing me off. He like introduces a problem and it's a huge problem, believe me. And so he introduces this problem and your like, what?! What's going to happen here? And so you watch it. You watch this show hoping this problem will get resolved, hoping for something, hoping it gets better. But it doesn't. No no no no no no no, it doesn't get better, it gets more problematic, so you have to watch the next episode where the asshole introduces another problem. So now you have these huge fucking problems that you are fretting over and can't stop watching this overly gory show because of them and he keeps piling on problems. Occasionally he eliminates one of the problems, but most often in the least satisfying way possible so that you are unable to break from it.

I have to say though, many problems are resolved in season 6. I almost feel like maybe I won't watch it anymore because I feel I am likely as satisfied as I will get. I full expect subsequent seasons to introduce more problem and completely destroy what little resolution we have found in season 6.


Also, fuck the Boltons. I feel vindicated with what happened in season 6, though i couldn't watch that part and it honestly just makes me too uncomfortable to really be happy about it. I am just happy that whole deal has ended and think justice was served.

[Kender]

justice was served.

[skarlorn]

enjoyhed reading the two MM posts here

[maskedmelon]

Good ^^ If you guys haven't watched it though, I don't know whether to recommend it or not lol ^^ I enjoyed it for the most part, but damn was it frustrating. I guess on some deeper level I must enjoy being frustrated or something :/ Think I will finish the last episode tomorrow ^^

[maskedmelon]

Well, I finished the last episode of season 6 last night and am happy to say that I was not left alone at the edge waiting for more as per usual >.> No, this time things wrapped up pretty nicely ^^ Of course there appears to be a LOT more to come, but I didn't feel there were really any lose ends. (۶•̀ᴗ•́)۶

Very sad to see the outcome of Cersei's insanity :/ She really is a stupid freaking woman in addition to being a bitch! I mean, part of what happened was super fantastic, but well, obviously not all of it :c It just goes to show that even if she does love her children (questionable) she doesn't fucking understand them one iota. Kings Landing is just an all around shithole at this point. Probably would have been better off if the Mad King actually had burned the place to the ground. Oh, but we have a Lannister to thank for stopping that too ヽ(*｀Д´*||

On a brighter note, I'm glad to see old man Fray's fate unfold^^ Lecherous old bastard had it coming (｀^´) ! I don't understand how he could be such an incompetent shit for SO long. I mean honestly, you have all these other houses losing heirs and falling apart, meanwhile you have this dipshit living to be like 100 years old. What's up with that? (･｀ｪ´･)つ

The starks/snowses, well, I sure didn't see that coming! ^^ I'll leave it there so I don't spoil anything for anyone^^ but wow with that development! I think I've a pretty good idea of the direction this story is going :3 At this point I don't see who else GRRM can kill off to shit things up again by interjecting an unexpected turn, so I can say that I am thoroughly looking forward to the next season ^^

Also, Aria, oh my gosh, that girl is really starting to creep me out f[• u •];

[maskedmelon]

That's so sweet ^^ If all were blessed with such eloquence or so versed in the language of love the world would be a happier place.

I love how Jamie protected King's Landing from the Mad King, and then his sister literally does the exact fucking thing he dishonored himself for. Beautiful irony.

Oh my gosh, I KNOW! Like the look on his face when he gets back. Really sad tbh :c I don't get what he sees in her. I mean, it's his sister, so you'd think that would be a pretty frickin' hefty deterrent, or at least I would hope it would be, but apparently not. She's not pretty, she's not nice, she's not funny or caring, she's got a disgusting personality, she don't even have nice boobs. While Jaime on the otherhand his super handsom, master swordsman, smart diplomatic, a halfway decent human being (even though he tries to murder children to protect his love life >.>). What the heck is going on there!??!?!

TELL ME GEORGE!!!!

Maskedmelon, Jamie is a Paladin in the most Absolute sense. However, his god is not the Seven or the Lord of Light. His god is his love for Cersei. He has lived his life in absolute devotion to her, sacrificing material pleasures, wealth, and countless beautiful pussies. This is exemplified by Jamie forsaking his claim on Castely Rock and the fact that he has only ever had sex with Cersei. In fact, the only time Jamie came close to loving another woman was with Breanne of Tarth (sp?), who is also a Paladin in the most Absolute sense.

It's not a rational choice on his end, but rather a spiritual calling and personal devotion.

seems like the calling of a malevolent spirit, or maybe retribution for his family's transgressions?

Indeed, all the Lannisters coming from Tywin are cursed. I wonder what sort of atrocities the Lannisters did before SOIAF started...

It's not a rational choice

You know, I was thinking more about this and true love never is a rational choice, I get that, we don't have control of it, but it doesn't just happen either. At the most basic level, it is rooted in desire and sprouts with need. I just don't get how it started for Jaime with her :/

Some answers can't be found in yourself because you don't want or have the need to open the door to find out, so to speak.

I am with you Mask
