Game of Thrones = awesome

[C0LUMB0]

Lol. Clearly somebody who hasn't watched it.

It's NOTHING like lord of the rings other than the actors having English accents and fighting with swords. There's also not as much black and white in terms of pure evil/pure good. Theres no unification against one common enemy. characters are more complex. One guy also doesn't fight 1000 orcs or enemies and not get scratched. Characters die

There's also no sex/incest/political backstabbing/extreme violence in LOTRs.

You gonna compare Corky Romano to the Sopranos next?

eh, yeah i have watched it....and i thought it was pure shite

the fact that sean bean is playing a similar character in both,in the same setting ,with dwarves ,sword play ,sorcery and all that kinda thing justifies the comparison...and like i said IMO.

Im not a huge fan of LOTR. it is a great book and good movies came from it .

Obviously the budget for LOTR was massive and i think it makes game of thrones look like a weak spin off - and yeah i know neither story is related.

LOL dude, dwarves aren't a race in this. he's a midget like real people are midgets. One midget from human parents does not = kingdom of dwarves


and how is Sean Bean the same character? He was a douchebag as Gondor or whatever the fuck his name was in LOTR, and almost took the ring from Frodo. He was the greediest one. In this, he's the most honorable and noble person in the story.

and there's not much sorcery. have you seen one spell cast? They even say that magic doesn't exist.

your comparison is way off base. and as far as the stories not being related, you're dismissing that like it's not a major point. Stories are what DIFFERENTIATE a movie or tv series from another.

you're entitled to your opinion about not liking the show, but you have no validity in your analogy

Like i said, the only similarities....swords and english accents. You have to be really narrowly minded to deem those 2 lone commonalities a "rip off"

lemme guess, you're a reality TV type?

 

[calveless wonder]

oh i get it. you're from Ireland. you hate *anything* with English accents

 

[nefertiti]

If you follow the story line you will catch the fact that the man she is fucking is not really family. As figured out by reading the lineage in the book .. watch it a few more time my man you will get it.

I think you misunderstood. Jaime lannister really is her twin. The lineage reading was ned stark figuring out that the boy (geoffrey) couldn't be the king's son because all the king's bastard children had black hair. He was realizing that the children Cersi claims to be king roberts children are in fact children born between her and her brother.

I was gonna say, I wouldn't miss something like that.

Definitely incest, they specifically state they are twins in the episodes....

Damn, violence, women, sex, booze, blood... what kinda man are you anyways?

Only kidding my brother. I just don't see how someone who enjoyed Lord of the Rings wouldn't enjoy this series. Dramatized, yes. Action, yes. Gory ass bloody kill scenes, yes.

FTW!

Give it another shot, watch 2-3 episodes in a row. I even got my girl into it.

 

[Wulfgar]

Yeah it's pretty legit so far. That Wulfgar looking dude's new blond trophy wife tends to get nekkid a lot, which I condone.

fuggin TV shows stealing my look

Im gonna write HBO and get them to hire me to be that dude instead of whoevertehfuck is playing him now
