>Ruling is hard. This was maybe my answer to Tolkien, whom, as much as I admire him, I do quibble with. Lord of the Rings had a very medieval philosophy: that if the king was a good man, the land would prosper. We look at real history and it’s not that simple. Tolkien can say that Aragorn became king and reigned for a hundred years, and he was wise and good. But Tolkien doesn’t ask the question: What was Aragorn’s tax policy? Did he maintain a standing army? What did he do in times of flood and famine? And what about all these orcs? By the end of the war, Sauron is gone but all of the orcs aren’t gone – they’re in the mountains. Did Aragorn pursue a policy of systematic genocide and kill them? Even the little baby orcs, in their little orc cradles?

>The war that Tolkien wrote about was a war for the fate of civilization and the future of humanity, and that’s become the template. I’m not sure that it’s a good template, though. The Tolkien model led generations of fantasy writers to produce these endless series of dark lords and their evil minions who are all very ugly and wear black clothes. But the vast majority of wars throughout history are not like that.

>'But if you’re going to write about war, and you just want to include all the cool battles and heroes killing a lot of orcs and things like that and you don’t portray [sexual violence], then there’s something fundamentally dishonest about that.

how could one man be so based?

based

orcs dont have babies, what a fucking hack.

>the sight of their arousal was arousing

>like a constipated fat man straining to shit

at least he writes from experience

You

He sure has a talent for making money

that is a pretty funny line

I don't remember those lines

theconcourse.deadspin.com/grrm-has-no-pages-1750057530

There are 10 times as many lines about fucking and shitting, and 100 times more lines about eating than there are about taxes in GRRM's work.

Reminder that GRRM is a draft dodging pacifist pussy who thinks "metaphor for nuclear weapons" is a good substitute for the bad guys, and is now suffering from depression because a bunch of HBO hacks ruined his terrible twist he's been dreaming of for 25 years.

Fake lines lol. wat

Notice that ever since the D brothers stopped following the books the show had become structural sound. People only hate season 5 and 6 because they're not adapted from the books. Everyone I've talked to who doesn't know what happens in the books likes the new seasons.

GRRM doesn't even measure up to other fantasists like Clark Ashton Smith or Lord Dunsany much less the literary canon.

...

Reminder that the superior author was a door gunner in Vietnam, a decorated soldier, a 33rd degree Freemason, a graduate of the Citadel and a man who enjoyed hunting, fishing, sailing, poker, chess, pool, and pipe collecting. Pipe collecting.

I find it ironic that anyone posting on this board has the audacity to call anyone else a talentless hack.

>"By 1917 all but one of my close friends were dead."

>bloated draft dodger wants to criticize this man's depiction of war

but who else but us?
who knows a man better than himself?
who would be better suited than Sup Forums?
enlighten me.

It is an accurate description of what being in the belly of a ship sounds like.

Yeah, Martin is definitely a talentless hack.
What's worse though is he actually makes people dumber, with his claims that "ASoIaF is a realistic depiction of the medival world", making them think that that period was all grimdarkness, rape, and violence when it was anything but.
And then he criticizez other writers for being to fantasical, when litteraly every single thing about his series is complete bullshit, down to the very fact that westeros whould have no major conflicts on a continental scale ever.
God I hate him, perhaps too much for my own good

disgusting

what do you do more? eating and shitting or filling up tax returns.

FUCKING
LAD

>war veterans in charge of writing best fantasy

>Zorn

Well fuck you too, i guess.

What the fuck does putting "t." in front of shit even mean.

Sometimes, you need to write prose in the style of Northern epics in order to escape the reality that the world around you is becoming shittier every day.

Other times you just need to make a really long metaphor for "nukes are bad, kids" and put in rape and dragons...

its finnish autism
t. Sup Forums

it's kinda sad that someone's mind is occupied with entertainment this much, that they'd take the time to compile and make this image.

>GRRM is so illiterate that he hasn't realized literature can be realistic or not

lynch and bannon are two true originals. literally revolutionized their respective mediums

the guy who wrote Le Morte D'Arthur in the 15th century was not only in wars but a convicted rogue and villain who committed actual rapes, ambushes with intent to murder, assaulting a monastery and cattle-theft and escaped prison multiple times and even he wrote an endearing tale of noble knights, chivalry and so on where the bad elements of mankind are actually recognized as destructive and base and not glorified like this fat fuck does.

Emmerich is an auteur. He made kaijukino before the world was ready.

I was told it's an Sup Forums meme, means "regards"

90% of this image is spot-on
this image is actually remarkable - an incredibly knowledgeable person compiled this, even if 5 or 6 of these are wrong
especially fuck damo suzuki

Tolkien probably saw himself more as a modern mythmaker than a novelist. And he was fantastic at that, what happened to Fantasy afterhis time wasn't his fault but he did inadvertently cause it. All of a sudden every fantasy is about the "Dark Lord" rising and the copy/paste hero's journey. The East and South are places of mystery and wonder and the whole thing is set in a pseudo-medieval secondary world where magic rules and technological advancement is halted.
Say whatever you want about GRRM's views on war or his portrayal of the pseudo-medeival society but at least he isn't copy/pasting Tolkien like every other High Fantasy author has been doing since the LOTR books came out.

>but at least he isn't copy/pasting Tolkien like every other High Fantasy author has been doing since the LOTR books came out
>technological advancement in Westoros has been halted for over 10k years
>the East and North are places of mystery
>the Cold Lord rising and the copy/paste hero's journey of Jon Snow

What was that some sort of not clever bait? Were you even trying?

>dubs man

Pick one

you ruined perfectly gr8 b8 m8
I hope youre proud of yourself

>he isn't copy/pasting Tolkien
No, he's copy/pasting Robert E. Howard's Hyboria

>kanye west

by far the best/most creative producer rap/hip-hop has ever seen. List is quality but kanye isn't just a meme no matter how much people try to make him one

add zack snyder

>implying there's really any difference between Middle Earth and Hyboria

You know that Aragorn and Conan are basically the same character, right? Not that I'm fucking complaining though.

>guy makes great ACTION movies
call me when he makes Titanic 2: Nigger Lover Edition

>Diciprano
top kek

No, he's copy pasting history books with a few minor tweaks

Aragorn is the same character as Conan, the thief, rapist and reaver?

>the Cimmerians are descended from Atlanteans that escaped the flood
>the Dunedain are descended from Numenoreans who escaped the fall
>Conan is a big barbarian with black hair and grey eyes
>Aragorn is a big ranger (barbarian who lives off the land and fights orcs) with black hair and grey eyes
>Conan becomes king
>Aragorn becomes king

There was an article that I had bookmarked that summed it up much better than I could, but it's 404'd now. They aren't literally the same, obviously.

>Pipe collecting.

Literal reddit hobby.

I don't care what he did irl, Wheel of Cucks is an even shittier series than ASOIAF.

Tolkien:

>It was Sam's first view of a battle of Men against Men, and he did not like it much. He was glad that he could not see the dead face. He wondered what the men's name was and where he came from; and if he was really evil of heart, or what lies or threats had led him on the long march from his home; and if he would rather have stayed there in peace.

GRRM:
>"Asha draped the furs across her bare shoulders and mounted him, drawing him so deep inside her that she could not tell who had the cock and who the cunt.

He's copy pasting Robin Hobb.

you can accept this kind of statement from a talented guy, wich is not the case.

no

...

>over looking hunting, fishing, sailing, poker, chess and pool
>decorated vet compared to GRRM the draft dodger and his high and mighty hippy dippy stance on war

Worst case scenario, they're the same kind of shit. Way to hone in one small facet of the guy and ignore everything else, fedora man

>hunting
Terrible "sport" of bored idiots who like killing too much. All recreational hunters should be sent to jail. He probably does it because he thinks it's "classy".
>fishing
The same but even worse meme "activity".
>sailing
Whatever
>poker, chess, pool
What's to admire about that? half the prison population engage in these hobbies.

He just sounds like one of those tryhard cunts that read articles like "10 most manly hobbies".

>Terrible "sport" of bored idiots who like killing too much.
wew lad, you're calling other people reddit?

>The same but even worse meme "activity".
Ah I see, your father abandoned your worthless ass when you were a baby and thus never taught you to hunt or fish or sail.

>all that projection

Sorry for having actual intellectual hobbies instead of pathetic stone age shit that involves needlessly killing animals, or sitting on your ass for hours.

>instead of pathetic stone age shit that involves needlessly killing animals
I see, you have gone full reddit! I know you guys are big fans of GRRM and think "Hodor=Hold the door" is the greatest twist ever, but real men disagree.

>terrible twist

hodor?

>Talentless hacks
>No Hack Snyder

>all these /lit/ rejects from /r/books defending GRRM

Speaking of tryhard cunts. What the fuck do you have against hunting, fishing and stimulating your mind through poker, chess and pool? Seems a refined gentlemen such as yourself would enjoy such pursuits.

>talking about Robert Jordan in the present tense

I think you're shitposting too loudly son, take your foot off the gas there tiger

Why does he dress like a 1900's paper boy?

Same reason autists wear fedoras, they think it makes them "classy".

Also he probably has the worst balding pattern in existence, considering his disgusting beard.

>. Did Aragorn pursue a policy of systematic genocide and kill them? Even the little baby orcs, in their little orc cradles?

did he even fucking read any fucking Tolkien at all?

Grrm truly is virgil of our times

George is good at some kinds of world building. What I noticed is more or less absent from the show is the history and details of all these minor houses and knights that makes the world seem deep. He's no master of prose, but at least his writing isn't pretentious. Storm of Swords was a fun book with a lot of good scenes, and if that's the high point of the series it's still better than a lot of chosen one fantasy.

How does he get away with it?

>the history and details of all these minor houses and knights that makes the world seem deep
it's not deep. it's bloated.

Some people like the details, world building is a talent.

But aragorn implied he would genocide all the orcs though. He's not a very good person

rewriting the war of the roses does not require that much talent

orcs don't have babies. and yes, all 100% of orcs are evil.

yes, it's simple and maybe stupid, but it's how it was.

They were directly lifted from the war of roses. The fat fuck only changed the names

>Some people like the details

There's something called "The Law of Conservation of Detail" that is necessary for a healthy narrative, and which GRRM has obviously never heard of.

The amount of shitty irrelevant details is distracting from the ones that are important. GRRM treats his his books as D&D player guides.
