I never really read the books, but just how faithful to the source material is HBO's Game of Thrones?

It wasn't but the books were trash anyway so it doesn't matter. Take the good with the bad.
read them and you will think the israelites who made the show should die
who cares? It's kino
about what you'd expect for about 4 seasons
then it goes off the rails and only uses major plot points from the books with none of the buildup to make them make sense
first 4 season are 90% similar to the books.
The show goes to shit the farther it deviated from source material
Why did they change her age for the show?
cant have a 13yo orgasming on a 12" horselord wiener every night on christian tv, anon
Couldn’t even have her hesitantly enjoying her wedding night either
Why do normalgays deny reality so
>first 4 season are 90% similar to the books.
imagine being this moronic
he's one of those morons that think changing asha to yara was a good decision
In the books one of her breasts is pretty much consistently exposed so not really.
good the first season
ok to bad until after the third season
total garbage season 4 onward
Season 1 is not a 1:1 adaptation but close to it. By Season 2 they've already started changing some things (like completely changing the circumstances of Robb Stark's marriage). By the later seasons the show doesn't resemble the books at all. Catelyn Stark is still alive but only barely as a flame priest zombie and leading a war in the Riverrlands and Westeros is invaded by Aegon Targaryen as an example of things the show didn't adapt.
I watched 6 episodes, all cheap looking, and at the scene which should've been the big reveal/turning point of the season, when the queen admits to Ned her son is her incest bastard baby, there was no dramatic pause or dramatic shot or anything, just boring flat wide shot like everything else in the show, which is when I knew the showrunners were hacks and I lost interest in the show.
She admitted it because she had enough power and influence it didn't matter and guess what happens to Ned 2 episodes later
moron who needs to be spoon-fed even the most basic plot
>big reveal/turning point of the season, when the queen admits to Ned her son is her incest bastard baby, there was no dramatic pause or dramatic shot or anything
Because it was already revealed earlier? And had it's own dramatic moment? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHF2jeTu9UE
Dany was 13 in the books and GRRM views her relationship with Khal Drogo, in which she was repeatedly violently raped after being sold to him like a cow, as entirely consensual.
Coincidentally, GRRM also has the classic pedophile look and voice, but I'm not going to make any accusations.
I would make some accusations. That he is FAT LAZY wienerSUCKING MOTHERFRICKER moronic HACK WHO CANT FINISH THE FRICKING BOOKS
He can only finish if the books are 12 years old.
with every season it became less and less
S1 was nearly perfect because the world wasn't as expanded yet and all character were kinda at the same place
the only thing I remember fans from the 90s really complaining were the lack of prophecies and dreams and inner monologue which are really hard to pull off. I read the books when AFFC came out, and I understood HBO wanted to keep it lower-ish fantasy at the beginning.
dan and dan were proven to have always hacks because s1 was only good because they had spent 3-5 years working on it
>just how faithful to the source material is HBO's Game of Thrones?
Well, her handmaidens never go down on her.
And she never goes ass-to-mouth with Daario.
In short, we were robbed.
Initially quite close. The main cast were all aged up a bit and some side characters were cut because budget/TV audience attention span. Started to drift slowly in some respects then jumped the shark when Yara sailed around the continent, up a river deep in enemy territory, succesfully stormed a castle, found her brother, then got scared off by some dogs and a shirtless Ramsay and sailed back home emptyhanded. I think the end of season 4 or start of 5 is also where Sansa chooses to leave the Vale for the Boltons due to some very convoluted reasoning, another major deviation. It's all downhill from there.
>Yara sailed around the continent
I made a book/show about that one but it's stuck on an old dead laptop and I can't for the life of me dig it up on 4plebs.
A couple months ago a guy posted almost every book/show, including two others of mine. But not that one.
Jon Snow's arc at the wall and beyond is way different in the books, Qhorin halfhand is different, they are captured together in the books. Mance is different, there's more characters.
Cersei also is way more moronic in the books
Cersei in the books at some points is so dumb I feel like GRRM was turning her into a comic relief character
there are two of Theons Uncles besides Euron
a whole bunch of shit missing
The show could have at least had another red priest come in
There is nothing to prove Young Griff is Aegon. You're reading Tyrion taking someone at their word. I won't be shocked if he dies early in Winds.
The infant Aegon's murder is common knowledge.
Up to season 3 the base structure was reasonably faithful, but it still left out something like 80% or 90% of the books content. You want to know more about what, specifically?
There's a reason EVERYONE talkedabout the show for several years and then it all evaporated overnight with zero lasting cultural legacy.
The later seasons writing goes into straight dogshit fanfiction territory.
>Once, so tormented she could not sleep, Dany slid a hand down between her legs, and gasped when she felt how wet she was. Scarce daring to breathe, she moved her fingers back and forth between her lower lips, slowly so as not to wake Irri beside her, until she found one sweet spot and lingered there, touching herself lightly, timidly at first and then faster. Still, the relief she wanted seemed to recede before her, until her dragons stirred, and one screamed out across the cabin, and Irri woke and saw what she was doing.
>Dany knew her face was flushed, but in the darkness Irri surely could not tell. Wordless, the handmaid put a hand on her breast, then bent to take a nipple in her mouth. Her other hand drifted down across the soft curve of belly, through the mound of fine silvery-gold hair, and went to work between Dany’s thighs. It was no more than a few moments until her legs twisted and her breasts heaved and her whole body shuddered. She screamed then. Or perhaps that was Drogon. Irri never said a thing, only curled back up and went back to sleep the instant the thing was done.
A lot of people hate that Lady Stoneheart wasnt in the show. Is she really that important? What did she does? Take revenge on the Red Weeding?
>That night Daario had her every way a man can have a woman, and she gave herself to him
willingly. The last time, as the sun was coming up, she used her mouth to make him hard again, as
Doreah had taught her long ago, then rode him so wildly that his wound began to bleed again, and for
one sweet heartbeat she could not tell whether he was inside of her, or her inside of him.
This is why ADWD is the only book in which I enjoy reading Dany chapters. She's not an empowered heroine stumbling into conquest after conquest with everything falling in her hands, from experienced knights and battle commanders to dragons. Now she has to rule a big city and it suddenly turns painfully obvious that she is just an entitled (muh birthright) little girl with no knowledge, no experience and no control over her emotions, making one bad mistake after the other. She would go back to being a semi-competent leader stumbling into easy victories in the next book (if winds ever released), but at least for one book, at least for ADWD, she's stripped of her plot armor for a while.
i remember getting a boner when i was in highschool reading GRRMs description of dany, she was supposed to be unbelievably hot 13 year old with big purple eyes and platinum blonde hair
Well, Dany in the books was even more of an insufferable c**t with Messiah complex.
Also, the show has completely ruined Asha Greyjoy. She was supposed to be this smoking hot tomboy not... whatever the frick Yara was.
>normies and morons peddling their "four faithful seasons" myth
The first season and about 60% of the second were more or less apace with the books, but shit was already going off the rails by S2's end. None of the dumb shit in later seasons came as a surprise to anyone who recognized the massive, stupid changes made to Theon's Prince of Winterfell arc.
absolutely this. First 3 seasons are great tv even if they deviate from the books at the end of s3 you can see the painting on the wall. 60% of s4 was unwatchable for me. Never bothered with the rest
Both are breasts and ass driven junk for coomers.
season 1 is pretty faithful
significant changes for the sake of cheap plot twists straight out of "24" started during season 2, I dropped the show after that
I'm underwhelmed by the books so far. I'm on Clash now. The only thing that stood out to me was the Maester Cressen chapter. Arya's more likeable but Tyrion's less engaging
