Moorcuck was a postmodernist faggot deconstructor before GRRM. His relevance disappeared because he was a cuck & a hippie. GRRM is heavily influenced by Moorcuck. (Everyone who says the most prolific ripoff of Elric is the Witcher is fucking insane & just parroting what others say. Chaos THE WARHAMMER FACTION DOWN TO THE LOGO is ripped straight from Elric). The dragon riding Valyrians are straight ripoffs of the Melnibonéans and Bloodraven is more Elric than Geralt ever was (& Fulgrim is even more so but Games Workshop shamelessly stealing from others is another can of worms). GRRM is the modern Moorcock. Moorcock shit talked Tolkien and became irrelevant as his own 'standards' were beyond his own ability to live up to. GRRM came along & did what Moorcock never could, but raised the bar in an even greater fedora tipping way and has now shot himself in the foot as well, unable to even finish his series. In 40 years there will be another fantasy flavor of the decade fuck who sees himself as Tolkien's rival and GRRM will be supplanted by him as he did to Moorcock.
All these people want to 'deconstruct' the 'myth' of good & evil to be more 'real' while ignoring LotR was written by a guy who literally fought in a war; the most morally gray war in human history. You can't lecture a man on 'realism' when he actually fought a goddamned war & you didn't.
Still, inspite of being written by a faggot, Elric is a cool character. I hate his author & always will, but Elric himself is cool & I will simp for him until the end of days. But like, FUCK, why the FUCK would you leave Yyrkoon in charge of Melniboné after he tried to coup you? I don't care if you were being memed into fighting by the god Games Workshop ripped off to make Tzzentch. You should have hanged Yrykoon by his fucking entrails nigga. God damn.
