No Mutants Allowed

I genuinely don't even remember him being a POV character. Did he start being one in AFFC or ADWD?

GoT really wasted his potential by making him wheel chair magic boy. He didn't even do anything, except for some weak-ass nostradamusness. When the dude-in-the-tree told him he would "learn to fly" I was all - "people are gonna read that symbolically, but I know better! He will FLY litterally! Things are gonna step UP!"

Whole point of ASOIAF is to hold back the magic - not to eliminate it. It's been showing this all the time w ghost-babies, dragons, resurrections etc. Epic magic shit is there, it's just "thought to be dead". The climax of the book is breeding ground for big, epic, explosive, full tilt magic. Not wheelchair dickery and stabbing your gf in the boobs.

I will never understand how anyone could actually finish game of thrones. Seasons 5&6 were already pretty large drops in quality but after season 7 there was literally no reason to keep watching.

Honestly, after the Red Wedding anything would seem... less.

And he's been a POV character since A Game of Thrones @R.Graves lol

Hot Take: Georgie-boy should've died of one to many big macs before ever publishing ASOIAF. How's that for a tax policy George, you fat bastard.

Why? Those books kick ass.

Gonna have to disagree with you their fam. Only thing it has going for it is the characters. Other than that the novels are bland and uninteresting.

>character driven story
>Written from the perspective of key characters
>Best aspect is the characters

Hrmmm... Really fires those neurons.

Pseudo-historical plot line, halfhearted fantasy (muh dragons), middle school prose, Has to kill off half the characters to get you to care about what's going on. Hmm.
Food posting is top notch though I expect it to be.

I honestly prefer halfhearted, minimalistic fantasy.

Also, “pseudo-historical” is a strike against it? Well fuck, the alternate history genre is entirely terrible I guess.

I actually cannot stand alternate history. Because we know where all the eventualities led. "What if Hotler didn't invade Pøland :0" then who the fuck knows, because you'd just be making shit up, put a wizards hat on him and have him grow a long bushy beard while you're at it

In the same vein, I also hate alternate evolution, yeah, it's a thing, "what if this or that mammal evolved long wings and fangs?" yeah, interesting, I used to think up dumb shit like that in kindergarden - what if horses had wings? WHOA
