The original series, books especially were great because it told an awesome story that had -0- conformity to societal and Hollywood norms. You can have badass female characters, eunuch’s, incest, homosexuals like the books did if it fits in the story. It starts to suck when it gets in the way of the story and is forced to keep the woke crowd happy. It feels like that might be the case here.

You could take Game of Thrones, release it exactly how it is today, but this time add some SJW narratives and people would be saying the same shit they're saying about this new show.

People would be tripping over themselves to declare how the story of Daenerys is a story about female empowerment. How she overcame being essentially a pawn, sold off to be a sex object by her brother to a toxically masculine nomad tribe. How she had to overcome misogyny in order to lead armies of men and become one of the most important heroes of the story.

You could attach SJW themes to the story of Renly Baratheon and Arya too.

The end product isn't much different compared to years past. What's (slightly) different is Hollywood is using Woke buzzwords to promote their product, trying to tap into that market in hopes of generating more viewership.

I really don't even know what that means. If the show is good who gives a **** what color the characters are? If the show sucks it won't be due to the color/gender of the characters. I doubt they'll be running around crying about non binary bullshit.

There you go. You can cover the full range of topics. The Boys does and isn't woke. It's how you handle it.

And there's plenty of crappy entertainment out now. Woke is just a type of crappy media.

What's sad is that The Princess and The Queen had several female characters that were badass and it didn't feel like it was silly. They all fit.

Curious to see if they do the Cheese and Blood scene in earnest.

I've not read the books. They said they are going to follow the books. Why post spoilers?

Revealing known plot line and events in the media center about shows has always been put in spoilers. Can we please put book spoilers into a spoiler?

That's hardly a ****ing spoiler. He didn't give ANY details or even plot information. If you don't google what he posted you would never know what the **** he was talking about.

I have no idea what the words or sentence meant. Just asking if the unofficial Chiefs Planet etiquette in the media center goes for this show too.

I read the GOT books before the series came out. I was going to read fire and blood after the TV show ended but was and am still pissed about D&D rushing the ending because they were tired.

Ok. The trailer was meh and the reviews have been similar, and my expectations were low.

But I thoroughly enjoyed that first episode and it felt very true GoT-ish in a good way to me. I'm really excited to see how the story evolves.

I think I really missed this world.

It was ok. The acting needs to take it up a notch though to match GOT... I miss Peter Dinklage...
