huh...
but anon it has an in-universe explanation
House Velaryon isn't from Westeros and they likely practiced inbreeding, which kept their skin tone, much like the Targaryens did.
No it fricking doesn't have an explanation.
Velaryons inbreed WITH Targaryens and have for generations. Why are Targs white as a sheet, while Velaryons are blacker than Summer Islander? King Jaehaerys is half-Velaryon but he's white as a sheet in the show. How does this work in a fictional universe where a character's appearance is tantamount to the result of a DNA test?
Also one of the major subtextual interpretations of the Valyrians is that they're LITERAL "white devils." The fact that the showrunners would overlook this and cast a black guy for diversity points is actually kind of funny.
I can't accept it because the show by itself exposes just how little sense it makes.
Alicent in episode 1 sees Criston Cole take off his helmet and says "gods, he's DORNISH!" once she sees his facial features. So characters can notice someone's ancestry or where they come from simply based on their face, just like how in the real world I can tell someone is probably from the Philipines if they're tiny asians with high hairlines.
And a scene later Alicent sees a dude blacker than any Summer Islander and just calmly accepts him as a cousin of the Targaryens, the whitest family in Westeros. Now apparently she cannot notice anything based on faces.
>I can't accept a black man from a foreign house from a different continent being in the show
But all the people from that realm were fair skinned and silver-haired.
What is there to defend? Yes he's a black Black person. yes it's stupid and yes they cast him because the writing rooms are full of freaks who care more about their shitty ideology than making a good show. HOTD is still fun and it's not like there's much else to watch.
if you think a barabrians were able to rebrand themselves overnight and continue the legacy of the reich after romes collapse then youre wrong, europe is simply a pet project of foreign ambitions, germnaic peasents have been granted a bestowment
That's my opinion too. I'm betting people just tuned out and stopped caring after the last season and no Winds of Winter. Casting is trivial when the franchise is already toast.
on one hand it;s bullshit, on the other it highlights the very obvious cuckoldry for an audience of midwits. If it was as murky as it is in the books (where not even the Targaryens have 100% magical aryan features) then your average dummy wouldntfully get it.
Everyone with standards dropped the show the instant they saw the mops. The people watching it are pigs who constantly need their trough filled. >okay it's shit but I just gotta consume!
Now that Viserys is dead he's the best actor on the show.

anons.... are we the baddies?

I know, they just never mentioned it in the source material, just like their battle stations by Apple Inc.

That's right, you have a problem with that.
correct, any other questions?

Can you not see how moronic this is?
Their twisted ideology doesn’t permit them to admit it, fren.

Why's he got the white hair if he's from a completely different race? Isn't that supposed to be an trait shared by one specific ethnic group?
is this star wars of hod i cant tell
It's Darth Vaegor.
Darth Niggus Valyrian of the House of Valyria-Floyd
>This man is half black according to HBO
Yes, I won't tolerate it.
No we didn't.

buddy there is thousands of hours of TV to watch out there that isn't slop
dark ages = blacked ages

simply alot of what whites assciate with it illegtimate , as is the swastika, a microcosm of attaching and creating lore as a form of compensation
so where are black people from in the Game of Thrones world anyways? the summer islands?
In the books, they come from the summer islands, and most of them become slaves
Cinemaphile has defended hotd overall but never defended this
/hotd/ is a colony of shills, homosexuals and redd*tors.
Cinemaphile rightfully mocked and continues to mock this atrocity of a show.
i didnt and this is the singular reason im not watching hotd
That's my opinion too. I'm betting people just tuned out and stopped caring after the last season and no Winds of Winter. Casting is trivial when the franchise is already toast.
DOT
Hotd sucks
He's the least terrible looking one, the daughters, lmao fricking Muppets
no one could believe they're supposed to be a quarter black

>pure Valyrian stock
>valyria is actually multicultural
That’s not what pure stock means
PURE.
Leroy Smith?
It’s so the Blackfyres will be black. You’re not seeing the big picture.
My headcanon is that his mom was from the summer isles and that the race swap makes the bastards seem more obvious.

>okay it's shit but I just gotta consume!
Dragons are also not real but no one has a problem with that
He's a good actor and him and his entire brood become increasingly more irrelevant as the story goes on.
>Cinemaphile defended this and continues to defend this
Nonsense, Cinemaphile relentlessly ripped on it and deservedly so.
