Why should I bother with this

Why not?

You shouldn’t. The charm is lost. It has been diluted. They could have salvaged it with HotD but they didn’t. They doubled down and made it even more cringe.

Humans cannot adapt.

how is the poster not even in focus, but they could make everything blue and boring no problem

No he’s just Irish

You shouldn't. Act like you've learned a lesson once in your life

>>215231954
This. House of the Dragon’s showrunner also hated white people. He is on record saying this.

>>215231988
this is what I'm doing.

>>215232043
I didn’t see any darkies in the trailer, apart from the love interest, so hopefully they’ve made a decision to tone down that Witcher/HOTD style stupidity.

How can people still get hyped for these things? You trusted HBO with GoT season 5, season 6, season 7, season 8, HotD season 1 and 2. How can you possibly believe they will produce something worth your attention this time?

>>215232307
HotD s1 was ok

They really didn't have the god will necessary for me to bother watching that

Vaemond was kino

I am going to be cautiously optimistic. Based on what the trailer showed it seems to be staying true to the graphic novel/comic version of the story which was pretty good. Plus I only see 1 minority character (love interest) and the rest seem to be Europeans.

>>215232430
Only for that one scene.

“I don’t think the Valyrians (or elves whatever) should be black-“
“WOAH WOAH YOU IS SOME KIND OF RAYCIS OR SOMETHIN’”

I’m so fucking tired of it.

>>215232340
>HotD s1 was ok
The costumes and armors especially were looking cheap as fuck, like Halloween sets. The story was going in fast forward in some chapters. Let's be real, you watched it for the monke, probably most of us here watched it for her.

>>215231981
because shallow depth of field = professional and cinematic

>>215232525
>you watched it for the monke
I watched it for paddy. Dysgenic bogan cunt roasties don't do it for me.

>>215231932 (OP)

It does tie into the ASOIAF era timeline since you learn more about the Blackfyre Rebellion. And Egg is a tragic figure because when he grows up and becomes king he tries to unfuck the Targaryen dynasty by bringing back the dragons and ending the incest tradition but ultimately fails.

Also, it looks like everyone's actually wearing proper armor and surcoats and not weird leather crap like GOT. I'd like to see more such shows.

On the other hand, you could just read the novellas instead. I feel like Gurm probably wishes he'd made Westeroes more of an anthology with a bunch of novellas from different eras. He was always more of a short story guy before A Game of Thrones exploded in popularity.

I wish they didn’t mention the white walkers at all and they didn’t do all those retarded visions

>>215232595
>And Egg is a tragic figure because when he grows up and becomes king he tries to unfuck the Targaryen dynasty by bringing back the dragons and ending the incest tradition but ultimately fails

Egg became the thing he hated. He was a lot more like Bloodraven in the end. He dabbled in magic and got smoked in his summer home.

It’s actually quite tragic. The implication is that Egg became mad in the end, and he was stopped by Dunk before he could kill his grandson in a blood magic ritual. The magic got angry and it backfired. Literally.

>>215232670
Egg would NEVER do that anon

>>215232447
>1 minority character (love interest) an
And Tanselle Too Tall was Dornish in The Hedge Knight so it's not like she was forced in.

It's unlike the other Westeros stores. It's low stakes but very heartwarming about 2 unlikely heroes setting off and doing right. Dunk is fucking based and Egg is the best squire and companion anyone could have.

The only problem is that there's only 3 stories to adapt from: The Hedge Knight, The Sworn Sword, and The Mystery Knight. If they pad it out with original content, I'm very wary.

>>215232697
All Targaryens eventually become mad and dabble in sorcery if they live long enough to, anon.

>>215232670
I truly hope not but somehow I can see this happening.

Dunk barges into the ceremony and tries to appeal to Egg's soul; the boy who once squired for him. Unfortunately, the dragon madness has taken hold and that boy is long dead.

They better give us a kino scene where a grizzled weary Dunk holds the dying body of Egg who tearfully regrets what he's done and thanks Dunk for accepting him as a squire. The flames surround them as they die together...

>>215231932 (OP)
Because it's the only show that looks good in current year + 10?

>>215232670
>>215232883
Dunk actually convinced Aegon to cease the ritual right off the bat, before it even started! The pyromancers, however, were way too pumped in preparation, and got super pissy when the king chickened out. “No, we’re fucking doing this.”. And so, a crying baby Rhaegar was tossed around Summerhall while the Benny Hill played in the background. Insane pyromancers, confused knights, midwives screaming. One of them knocked over a candle in the confusion which led to the whole place burning down once it triggered the barrels of wildfire. Barely any magic involved. Just human stupidity. The gods weren’t even aware it was happening.

(Yes I know the mother gave birth after the actual fire but this is still how I like to picture it)

>>215233110
God damn pyromancers getting all American.

>>215233110
>a crying baby Rhaegar was tossed around Summerhall while the Benny Hill played in the background
Canon.

>>215232595
>Blackfyre Rebellion
I hate House of the Dragon but I'm holding out that if they ever do the 1st Blackfyre Rebellion that we'll truly see a tragic tale of how Daemon Blackfyre was the brother whom Bloodraven loved. The albino outcast had a Chad older brother figure who was also a bastard and teased/encouraged his younger half-sibling to become the man he would shape into.

I even want Bittersteel to be shown with sympathy; he didn't ask to be born a bastard and Aegon the Unworthy treated his mother, his maternal grandfather, and his aunt as playthings.

>>215233288
>if they ever do the 1st Blackfyre Rebellion that we'll truly see a tragic tale of how Daemon Blackfyre was the brother whom Bloodraven loved.
Knowing the writers, they'll turn it into a January 6 thing about not accepting who the real ruler is

>no bloodraven
Boooo

>>215232109
>apart from the love interest
Accurate to the book.

>>215232307
Probably because this is actually the first season since GoT season 4 that is actually directly based on GRRMs writing, including dialogue from him. Only thing HBO needs to do is be faithful to the books, the teaser trailer looked good enough.

>>215233854
I like the actors they cast for Dunk and Egg. But are they only going to do 3 seasons since there's only 3 novellas? Or did GRRM give them the rough drafts of the remaining Dunk & Egg stories and we'll see that get adapted in the future?

Well tbf Martin started strong in GOT and in HOTD so this one will probably start off strong too. Then Martin will get distracted by something else and pass this off to some other writers just like he did with those. I'm going to guess a solid 3 episodes and then a meh rest of the season with a giant turd of a trailer for season 2 as the finale.

>>215232670
They should make Summerhall a kino movie to wrap it all up and go all the way, of course it will never come close to a fraction of what I envision so nevermind no they should not

>>215233934
That probably won't happen, Season 1 has a definitive end, based on the novels. I suppose they could be giga retards but in this case I don't even see how they'd do this if they wanted to

>>215232670
>>215233110
Sources?

>>215231932 (OP)
Shota domination

>>215232744
GRRM isn't releasing any more books. It's a matter of whether or not he'll let them look at his unfinished notes for future D&E stuff to make S4 onwards or they just end it after 3.

So Egg is perfect blowjob height for Dunk the Tall eh

>>215232340

It isn't even worth watching to mock it later. If you are a braindead mush head then go ahead. It will be retarded, gay, and lame. I can only make and hear the same jokes about the same writing decisions for so long though. I can only complain about how they deviate from the canon for no real gain or purpise so much. I just don't want to bother with it anymore. I hope you don't either

>>215231932 (OP)
Because the cast is actually White.

>>215233854
>Only thing HBO needs to do is be faithful to the books
And as we know, HBO has been very faithful to the source material for the past decade, right?

>>215234073
You sick fuck

>>215233986
Lol not only are they doing a season 2, but a season 3 too

>>215233854
>>215234677
I increasingly have to wonder if the gurm simps here have either actually watched the shows or read the books, or they're just parroting a viewpoint they heard on reddit because they think it makes them sound clever.
90v of the dialogue even in s1 of Got was original, and even the 10% was often heavily edited.

>>215231932 (OP)
Because they put a nigress in it.
Must count for something right?

>>215231932 (OP)
hyped.
i can't wait for the gays, the niggers, the trannies, the strong women, and the evil white guys.

>>215231932 (OP)
>Why should I bother with this

The Dunk & Egg stories are Gurm's best work and he at least said he's happy with the adaption and with just six 1/2 hour episodes for the first novella, HBO probably didn't fuck it up too badly.

>>215233681
He wasnt in the first book. We shouldnt see him until a flashback to the battle of the red grass field in season 2

>>215231932 (OP)
It’s my favorite of all the GOT stories, but HBO will cram it full of woke bullshit and race/gender swapping.

I’d rather read books in current year tbqh

>>215235621
Don’t care.

Will there be any magic or dragons in this

>>215232525
>armors especially were looking
You're not wrong but you are Indian

>>215236298
Eh.

>>215235344
They aren't going to end season 1 before the trial of seven and the trial of seven serves as a perfect end point for a season, that's what I meant

>>215231981
because it's a screenshot from a tiktok format trailer with the name of the show on top

>>215231932 (OP)
You shouldn't bother with it because it will take away time from your reactionary chuddism. Remember that the blacks are taking away your EBT and your rent affordability. Go complain about it on reddit and be useful instead of watching this garbage.

>>215232307
Dunkshit is pretty low IQ crowdpleasing cheese, they can't really mess it up too bad

whats with people saying this TV show sucks or that TV show sucks as if TV isnt inherently slop?
>this TV show isnt worth watching!
its a made up story about made up people where everything is about shock value and subverting expectations, the lowest forms of fiction. none of it is "worth" watching but you do it to pass the time, be real.

This shit is gonna suck shit. It’s like a pilot episode for a series but there is no series, just a pilot stretched out for 3 books that goes absolutely nowhere

>>215232670
Maesters did Summerhall

Dunk and Egg is actually a lot more suited for a TV adaptation than ASoIaF which has a zillion characters and plotlines and locations and HotD which is adapted from basically an in-universe wikipedia article

>>215232525
Costumes were good-to-great. The armour was indeed shitty.

>>215239370
There’s no overarching story. It’s a serialized “adventure of the week” story with only 3 mini adventures

>>215239573
Yes, that's part of what makes it better for a TV adaptation

Is it true that each episode is only 20 minutes long?

>>215239609
Seems like a meandering unsatisfactory waste of time

>>215236298
Dragons yes, magic probably no. Magic in this universe is very low-key. It's not like Wheel of Time where you have spellcasters everywhere.

>>215240132
Dragons are extinct by the time Dunk and Egg starts and there's no magic except for maybe Bloodraven using a glamor

>>215240132
It's the opposite. There are no dragons in the time period that A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms takes place. They will probably add magical elements to compensate.

>>215232447
>>215232721
There is only one true love interest for Dunk and he doesn't appear until 3rd book.

you'd consider watching this after they made Valyrians into chicago street nogs? lol, good luck my friend

>>215232340
It had groids, ffs. No one watches medieval European fantasy to see groids.

Tbh it looks like some generic YA disney shit. If it wasn’t set in the game of thrones universe nobody would bother with it. Same goes for the books

I'm so sick of the colorless, dirty medieval aesthetic.

More blue grey hazy filter slip
Greeeeaaaat that’s exactly what I wanted

After House of the dragon I will never watch another episode set in this world. That was genuinely the worst show I’ve ever watched
