It was laughably bad. His awful fake british British accent stuck out like a sore thumb in every scene he was in

>>211366531 (OP)
He drinks and know things

>>211366531 (OP)
Why would westerosi have British accents in the first place?

>>211366531 (OP)
his first big role, larger than life performance and tall list of memorable scenes gave him a huge leg up, standing high above is fellow actors.

>>211366531 (OP)
Early Game of Thrones was so fucking good and exciting. I will never not seethe at how badly it ended

>>211366531 (OP)
lauding his performance & talent was a way for normies & hollywood to virtue signal because he's part of a underrepresented minority. I'd find it patronizing as hell if I were him, but something tells me he's enough of a diarrhea-brained thespian faggot to believe he deserves the praise.

>>211366531 (OP)
mocking someone for being short doesn't prove him short, only that you fear how tall he might actually be.

>>211366531 (OP)
Tyrion Lannister is genuinely a really difficult role to cast, Peter Dinklage is about as good as you could get.

I blame most of it on D&D softening his character arc and turning him into comic relief rather than Dinklage's performance

>>211366596
Because it's mostly based on 1400's england

>>211366531 (OP)
People enjoyed the character, he was an enjoyable character because of his attitude. People mistake liking a character for the performance all the time.

>>211367135
Nobody in the 1400 talked like they do in that shitty show.

>>211367189
they do I was there

>>211366596
>Why would westerosi have British accents in the first place?
In the first book the characters speak in a weird mix of American and British slang. From the second book onward the Americanisms are mostly phased out and the characters talk like British people

>>211367189
Forgot to mention that books suck too.

>>211366596
Because it is loosely based on the Wars of the Roses, a 15th century dynastic civil war between House of York and House of Lancaster. And Westeros is the UK and Ireland combined.

And it was filmed in large part in Northern Ireland (and Europe more broadly) with many British actors. And American's kind of expect fantasy being Medieval-ish to be in British accents too.

>>211367353
>As Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin said: “I've drawn on many parts of history, but the Wars of the Roses is probably the one A Song Of Ice and Fire is closest to

>>211367353
>it's loosely based on X, Y and Z
So what?
That doesn't make it any good.

>>211367353
>And Westeros is the UK and Ireland combined.
it's more like all of Western Europe, Dorne is clearly based on Spain and The Reach is medieval France

>>211367389
>it's more like all of Western Europe, Dorne is clearly based on Spain and The Reach is medieval France
I was more referring to the shape, hence the pictures, and not the ecology, culture etc of all the parts.
>>211367386
>That doesn't make it any good.
I never said it was good or bad, I just explained the background of it.

>>211367389
Who fucking gives a shit? None of it is realistic or makes a lick of sense

>>211367416
Yeah no shit, it is a fantasy story. Are you retarded?

>>211367416
it's fun, realism is overrated

>>211367021
Speak up, I can't hear you from down there.

>>211367386
He's explaining why they talk in British accents you fucking dumb cunt kill yourself

>>211367443
It's not fun
>>211367439
So why talk about the influences from the real world, retard?

>>211367524
don't be gay

>>211367477
Clearly should be speaking in Spanish/French accents according to this guy >>211367389
Right?
Kill yourself

>>211366596
>Why would westerosi have British accents in the first place?
that's how they talk in the books, GRRM is generally a big britboo he loves British history

>>211367524
Bait or just plain retarded

>>211367554
That has nothing to do with my point or the other guy's original point you have the reasoning and reading comprehension of an actual grade schooler. I hope you get a kidney stone.

>>211367524
>So why talk about the influences from the real world, retard?
Because that's the author's influences.. the author who wrote the book that was adapted into a tv show.

Westerwesteros

>>211367766
Well for thing they had a literal giant in their army and nobody even considered giving him armor or a weapon of some kind and just sent him into battle completely unarmed

>>211367655
Season 1 was already trash.

Take that back, you're gay. 4chan, reddit, critics and the Emmy's agree that GoT was great. I hope you die soon for insulting that show and what I like.

>>211366531 (OP)
Byproduct of the times. The 2010s were essentially "Peak Millennial," the decade when most of them were in their prime and trying to leave their cultural legacy, they were all climbing over each other desperate to "out tolerance" each other. Consider all the dumb, fucktarded, shit causes they got behind during that decade. Consider all the social justice horse shit, where we're still dealing with the fallout of the superficial aspects of it all, but ultimately it didn't change ONE fucking substantial thing for the better in the world. Also every minority or other wise handicapped/disabled actor was "The Best Actor of the Age," which is why you had stuff like Peter Dinky being overblown. Why you had shit like "Moonlight" getting Best Picture. etc. etc.

The cold hard truth is that it was mostly all insincere posturing, which is why the majority of it never took root. It's also why Millennials are just seen as these corny-ass, virtue cosplayers, not unlike hippies ended up being towards the end of the 60s. The world has BEEN steadily waking up from the faggotry of last decade, and so yeah, revisiting the laurels gained by actors like Dinky, most people are cringing at themselves or scratching their heads.

It was exacerbated by the fact that every Lannister had a different style of English accent. Like, could they not get them all on the same page? They should all be emulating Charles Dance.

I thought the Dune movies were kind of mid, but I really liked the fact that Austin Butler took it upon himself to mimic Stellan Skarsgard's delivery, it was a nice touch. Denis Villeneuve didn't even ask him to do it.

>>211368393
Seeing zoomers talk shit about any other generation as if they aren't an embarrassment is funny.

>>211366958
>Early Game of Thrones was so fucking good and exciting
it's so easy to forget because of how it ended up, but GoT was the last show that truly had me glued to the screen

He is a main character and one of the good guys. Then he did the epic Heisenberg I am the danger speech and normies were all in. I looked up the characters in the book and it's crazy how one dimentional he and other characters are in the show

>>211369669
oof touched a nerve

>>211369877
Nta but you're trying too hard

>>211367003
This is not a minority is a genetic disease.

Season 1-4 I was glued to the screen, some season 4 episodes were quite bad and to be fair the cracks already started in season 3 but i was hooked. Read and reread the books, rewatched seasons on the reg to pick up on nuances and breadcrumbs. /tv/ was a glorious place

And then season 5 happened

>>211367003
Okay but you're not him and you could never understand what it's like so your dogshit opinion is unneeded

bump

Is that a guitar pick?

>>211366531 (OP)
He was indisputably good for a while imo. But his performance, like the character and show, eventually jumped the shark and he just became a parody of himself.

>>211366531 (OP)
I think he was a cool character but they should have killed him. His plot armor was so ridiculous

>>211366531 (OP)
People like to root for the under dog it's basic shit

>>211372004
It's funny for a show that made its bones on being willing to kill off major characters in the later seasons it does anything and everything it can to avoid killing off any major character left regardless of how silly the circumstances of achieving that are.

>>211369832
The book isn't complex either.

Gotta be honest the sight of midgets makes me sick. They're so fucking gross looking, these beings shouldn't exist. The only okay small people are like the young woman on tv (shaunda rae) who has a growth disorder but isn't a dwarf, so she looks proportional. Actual midgets are disgusting and creepy.

>>211366531 (OP)
HE'S A FAGGOT

>>211366624
ha!

Le witty quipping dwarf. Bravo George you are truly American tolkein

>>211367977
If they had just hid this nigga in the woods on the flank somewhere, armored him up and given him a massive fucking chain or something to swing around, he could have routed the Bolton cavalry back into their own formation.

>>211366958
No. I tried to watch it and it insists upon itself too much. It's as if everyone sniffed their own farts and got high on it before the camera rolled. I've seen renfair dinner theater better acted than Got.

>>211370402
A try hard zoomer, anon don’t stereotype.

>>211371010
So is being brown, but niggers are still called a minority.

>>211367189
People in the 1400s couldn't even write the letter s, they'd say shit like "good morrow fir, didft thou fee mine oxenne upone thee previovf even-ning?"

>>211367202
Like what?

Seems more like people suddenly think he's a bad actor just because the show went to shit desu,

>>211366531 (OP)
He was le funny in a sarcastic way, normies loved to quote him.
>mfw I had to put up with with coworkers taking turns saying "this is what I do, I drink and I know things :) " while drinking sparkling water on lunch breaks until they finally got over it

>>211366531 (OP)
They liked the character

>>211366624
And after reaching those dizzying heights, he pulled the ladder up behind him.

>>211373941
It’s more to do with the fact that he put in absolutely fuck all effort into the roles he got due to GoT, and as the show went to shit he stopped trying even in that. He’s certainly a better actor than the actual bad ones like Sophie, but the gap between his own performances is so cavernous that he looks worse by comparison.

>>211366531 (OP)
His only best and actual performance was in this 2000s movie called superdog where he played as evil midget professor who wants to destroy earth or whatever. It was the only time where he didnt play the same exact character and it was in some fucking dog superman movie

>>211373883
I say this

For most people, he really didn't fall short of their expectations.

I feel like he really grew into the role over time.

>>211373941
>>211374169
While the writing quality definitely declined in the later seasons one of the biggest problems with Game of Thrones is that almost all of the actually talented actors are gone by the end of season 5. Good actors could have carried bad scripts but have both bad actors and bad writing just doomed the show. Tyrion was ok but Jon,Daenerys,Bran, and Arya were all terrible and completely incapable of carrying the show without good supporting actors

>>211374484
Honestly, they did the best with the script they had.
Except for Emilia and Isaac, fuck them.

I’m so glad I never watched any of this show

>>211374038
Tyrion would have definitely a coffee mug with "fluent in sarcasm" on the side of the worked in an office

>>211366531 (OP)
they confused having good lines with good acting

>>211367977
they could either given armor to 20 men or him

>>211366531 (OP)
He was one out of dozens of good actors when the show started, after a few seasons he was the only one left, nothing to do with his ability particularly

>>211374038
my sister got me a glass with this on it because I win bar trivia

yeah, can i get um, rectangle continents floating in the water next to australia?
lol

>>211366531 (OP)
Up to season 4 it was incredible, and after that he was still delivering the best that was possible for the show that was being made.

>>211375344
so basically it was good as long as they had source material to copy and adapt - as soon as the 'writers' had to write it went to shit, absolute shit. This is what happens when you hire based off politics and friendships and not on writing ability

>>211374404
it was called underdog you fucking retard

>>211369777
It was truly the last water cooler TV show. The weekly hype was insane.

>>211375666
trips of truth!

>>211375666
Then le alt right attacked and water cooler crowds were to diverse

>>211366531 (OP)
becasue George is unironically that good of a writer, albeit a lazy bastard. Works even better reading it yourself. Notice the supreme lack of quality in one liners etc post season 4

>>211366596
Because they speak British English.

>>211366531 (OP)
was at a party where he was in 2016. he was talking with a dude, then was alone for a bit standing about 10 feet away, I thought about going over to speak to him but in the end I didn't, and in a few minutes someone else was talking with him.
what would you have said, anons?
kaleesi was also at the party, I had a look for her but she was in the one room I hadn't bothered to go in as it was a bit crowded. I'm a retard

li'l nig think he suppose to be the only midge in town now

>>211375705
ah yes, the famous briddish English accent, identical from Galloway in England to Glasgow, also in England. their Cardiff in England accent is also the same accent, briddish

>>211374169
Sophie was fine, I enjoyed her performance. people confused the role with the actress.
also she will definitely marry me once I post this

>>211366624
kek

>>211375778
She can't act and she looks like Boy George.

>>211375631
Yeah but the thing of it was - Dinklage understood and performed the character so well that he was able to still be good through that. The actors really carried it through the writing on the last few seasons, but you could see them chafing.

>>211375666
I always thought it was amazing how they were able to keep The Red Wedding spoilers from most of the TV only audience. Probably wouldn't be possible if it was made today.

>>211366531 (OP)
Because he is a midget (DEI) and because he played a character who was well written and people liked for the first few seasons before he went full retarded.
also apparently the midget community at large fucking hates the actor

>>211376543
Well he's a cunt who purposefully campaigned to take roles away from other midges.

they were afraid to criticise him because he's a midge. but yes, he was a truly awful actor. he got grossly overpaid and still couldn't even handle an accent. it was like college film class acting.

Tyrion was the self insert for the author of the story and he wrote him to be a gary stu in the first book. The authors went even further with that. Normies can't distinguish someone being likeable and a good acting performance. And like someone else pointed out, the virtue signaling.

I’d like to put Dinkmidge in his place. Ant farm

his big court scene made me laugh out loud. and i can rarely actually laugh out loud at actual comedies. but that scene was like they just got some random cunt off the street to do a big dramatic speech. it was like watching kids on youtube re-enact their harry potter fanfic or something. except it was watched by 3 billion people and supposed to be taken deadly serious. i couldn't hold it together man.

>>211367092
he was supposed to be ugly in the books and they got the most normal looking dwarf in the world to play him

>>211366624

picrel was your ENTIRE energy last decade. maybe you've cooled off in the intervening years after all your failures, but this is how you will always be remmebered

>>211376623
I mean Tyrion was a lot more bitter and twisted in the book and just plain weird. In the show he was a lot more likable.

We're a Warwick Davis midge board.

>>211366531 (OP)
but le dude got le blowey joey and drinking in le first episode! and he was hecking mistreated and le edgy

>>211366596
All the other answers to this are retarded. It's simply that faux "received British" accents are the norm for high fantasy settings, like in LoTR, or even historical fiction settings taking place long before the English language like the Vikings or Spartacus series.

>>211367766

>>211381107
Based.
I couldn't even finish the first episode.

>>211366531 (OP)
It needed to be a midget and he was the best midget actor available. Warwick Davis was too old. So people were surprised because there's not a ton of midget roles, so they exclaimed "oh wow, they can act too!"

>>211375814
she can and she looks very pretty.

>>211380309
it was a wrap party for some location filming in the series. I wasn't really supposed to be in the party as I was an extra, but someone let me in.
talked about it on here at the time but likely no one remembers

>>211381031
believe what you will, it's not such a fantastic story. I met several of the cast. they're just people.

>>211381433
the fuck? i'm confirming your story, retard, I was there too. learn to read.

He was one of the better characters in the books, so when he had proper material he pulled it off. Once they ran out of book his acting wasn't good enough to salvage his shitty lines, just looked moppy all the time.

>>211377989
I still don't even believe that was a real human being, just some day-long clone grown in a CIA lab
