>Speaking to the French outlet Libération, Dillane, who is doing press for his new UK/France crime drama The Tunnel, where he stars alongside Harry Potter alum Clémence Poésy, admits that he really didn’t enjoy the show very much.

>"I do not regret having done Game of Thrones, but I have nothing to say about it either. I understood neither the series nor its success when I was a part of it."

>Libération asked Dillane why he took the part if he didn’t understand the show. After a long silence, the actor replied that he did it “among other things, for the money

Stannisfags on suicide watch.

Also, Stannis is never coming back in the show. Deal with it.

This is the main reason why I think Stannis is dead for good. He wouldn't be allowed to talk shit about the production if he was still on contract.

I wouldn't be surprised if nobody from cast (except from Kit who read the books) knows what the hell is happening, the adaptation sucks shit

>Libération asked Dillane why he took the part if he didn’t understand the show
What a dumb fucking question to ask

Fuck and he was paired with the only other actors who could actually act. Imagine if he had scenes with Maisie all the time

>Not reading the books to an adaptation you are in to better understand your character

Even Mamoa read the books. Apparently he threw the book at a wall when he found out he died though

Dropping Tunnel, screw this guy.

>"Actor says he doesn’t watch the HBO fantasy series because it is too “brutal” and “hardcore” for his tastes"

Lol, Dillane is a pussy

Well, considering most of his scenes involved listening to some crazed semen demon telling him to sacrifice his friends and family members, im not surprised.

He's right though. Most of the violence is just for shock value

>numale teenager thinks if you dont enjoy edgey bullshit youre a fag

go back to where you came from

>so, Stephen, in the next scene 20 good men destroy your army's camp...

>I understood neither the series nor its success when I was a part of it."
What's there to not understand? Is fantasy not his usual role?

thats exactly why i dont like game of thrones, i agree with him

Why anyone root for Stannis? He was literally the biggest retard on the show.

>Stannis is never coming back
Thats just a meme right? No one actually thought he was alive right?

The writers LITERALLY had him burn his daughter alive, there is zero reason to believe his character wasn't done.

D&D killed Stannis twice. His moral character was the first causality.

>get killed off
>I NEVER LIKED THAT JOB I HAD FOR 4 YEARS ANYWAY!!!!

how pathetic

In the book he is cool.

Robb was the biggest retard

I'd imagine that actually being in the show would make someone less invested rather than more. Now he doesn't have to stand around in the snow or stare at oversized chess boards anymore.

Not really. He comes off as a huge dumbshit in all Jon's chapters, well at least he didn't burn his daughter for shits and giggles

Finn Jones is a big fan of them and admitted that he didn't like what DnD did to Loras. Ian read them and pleaded for them not to kill off Barristan but DnD just mocked him.

I don't think Stannis really enjoyed his life much either? Seems like a good fit.

Fucking say that to my face you little bitch. Book Robb is literally the best character

to be fair, those showrunners are capritious as fuck. like that readhead that got crossbowed isn't really in the books but all she had to do was approach them and they were all "don't worry bby we'll write a character for you"

they seem like the kind of guys that would kill off an important character because the actor was a bit critical of their work

>comes off as a huge dumbshit
he's the only contender for the throne concerned about the giant army of monsters marching south and it looks like he's set up to trash whoever marches out of Winterfell to meet his army, which is backed up by mountain-men who are experts in dealing with winter.

Before the daughter-burning was there that much they fucked up about Stannis though? Aside from little things like an army's commander being at the absolute front of the line wearing less armor than the average grunt fighting with just a sword or what was probably the most noble act in the entire show being accompanied by evil music and ominous direction.

>Book Robb is literally the best character
That's a weird way to spell book Jaime.

I think he means it's gratuitous violence with no meaning or soul behind the characters.

>Won every Battle
>Lost the war

Robb's a fag

He is literally unironically the legitimate king of Westeros.

>he's really dead

What a shitty death,

This. He wanted the throne to set Westeros to rights. Even if you disagree with Stannis on what "Rights" is his intentions are noble. Compare that to fucking Dany who wants the throne for no other reason than that it's "hers"

At least he won't go out like this in the book

I was just thinking about it, and book Jaime is the only major character who hasn't just become a more exaggerated version of himself when he was introduced.

mamoa takes his job surprisingly seriously i remember watching the making of season 1 and he seemed very interested in his character and the world. Then recently he revealed he read a bunch of aquaman for the D.C movies. he's not a very good actor he has a linted range but i can at least give him props from putting effort into understanding his character and the greater context of the story.

book Jaime is one of the GOAT fantasy characters and his arc is something else

>implying stannermen give a fuck about DABID

but he got to touch qt melisandre;i would love HBO for giving me such an opportunity.

>Dillane is such a method actor that he's pretending to dislike the show experience in order to make his epic re-entrance to the series in season 7/8 that much more surprising and genuinely unexpected

D&D>No, no, don't worry about it, it'll be great....

SD>>Fookin' hell....you bastards better be killing this character this episode, because I'm not coming back...

JUST REMEMBER

The reason why Stannis dies offscreen is so you disgusting men wont hate Brienne for being a strong butch wymyn

JUST REMEMBER

tits or gtfo

There was everything with his brother. Stannis didn't really know about the method of Renly's death.

He's far less keen on Melisandre in the books, doesn't really buy into her shit but goes along with because he knows his wife and some of his followers believe and she has proved her magic is real or at least accomplishes something. In the show he comes off as being totally manipulated by her.

Also just some other stuff, like him burning followers of the 7 because they wouldn't convert or take down their idols. In the books he kills those people because they were plotting to betray, I think steal his daughter and deliver her to the Lannisters if I recall, but I'm fuzzy on the details of their plot to undermine him.

what's some dillanecore lads?

The show sucks. It completely misses the mark with his character. Just like it fucked up Robb Stark.

>you disgusting men

Feeling a bit bloated this week honeybun?

yeah, hadn't thought of that in a while but it makes a lot of sense. Stannis really does seem to genuinely buy into her shit in the show while in the books it's clear she only gets to stick around as long as she's useful and doesn't stir up too much shit.

also that picutre looks animu but in a good way. Like if aSoIaF got an OVA adaption made around the same time as Lodoss War.

oh shit son
fucking confirmed

Mate, the Throne is just as Dany's as it is Stannis's.

Even moreso, considering that it shouldn't even be Stannis's from the Baratheon point of view, considering he was a deserter and traitor to Robert, keeping the truth about the incest hidden from him, and whatnot.

ASOIAF should've been an anime instead. It would've been far more faithful in competent hands than a live-action show.

The same can be said about most Shakespeare plays.

Titus Andronicus is the biggest offender, all edge no substance.

>Before the daughter-burning was there that much they fucked up about Stannis though? Aside from little things like an army's commander being at the absolute front of the line wearing less armor than the average grunt fighting with just a sword or what was probably the most noble act in the entire show being accompanied by evil music and ominous direction.

They had him be unaware of the incest until Eddard discovers it and sends him a letter, absolving him of any blame in Robert's death and making his actions far less hypocritical.

>the adaptation sucks shit

to be fair the books suck shit after the third one famalam

for all of its faults at least the show is streamlining it into something less fucking convoluted

A Legend of the Galactic heroes type adaption would have been pretty great but I don't think either medium is inherently better at adaptions. It's more how much faith and respect the people adapting have for the original work. The problem with Game of Thrones is that D&D have gotten it into their heads that they're hot shit and can come up with a better story than GRRM in the breaks between seasons while GRRM has been sitting on this shit for decades. When they were following what was already there in season 1 with little touches of their own here and there it was great stuff.

Really? I don't remember that. What's the show's explanation for him suddenly packing up his shit and leaving then?

And I think I would have done the same thing in Stannis' place. Would you tell Robert that his his children were bastards fathered by his brother in law? You'd start a civil war for sure only you'd die right out the gate instead of fighting and where's the justice then?

Cia has read all the books and sounded kinda down on the shit they have him do on the show.

>3 months ago

but his family is made up of rebels who unlawfully took it in the first place.

Post more of these

Jaime singe handily carried AFFC and Theon did the same for ADWD. Without them I wouldn't have finished them.

>Really? I don't remember that. What's the show's explanation for him suddenly packing up his shit and leaving then?

They don't explain it, he simply does IIRC.

>And I think I would have done the same thing in Stannis' place. Would you tell Robert that his his children were bastards fathered by his brother in law? You'd start a civil war for sure only you'd die right out the gate instead of fighting and where's the justice then?

It would be the righteous, dutiful, and lawful thing to do. To conceal it the way Stannis did is downright high treason, and considering the fact that he presses his claim right after Robert's death (which dismisses the notion that he kept silent to avoid a civil war, or in the name of self-preservation), it's self-serving as fuck.

>to be fair the books suck shit after the third one famalam

you don't know what you're talking about

Yes, they do, user.

No they really do. First 3 books are good but then GRRM became a hack and it ballooned up.

>implying HBO pays its actors well

ADWD was great. Only AFFC is the bad one and really only bad if you there in 2005 and had to wait five years for a book that serves as the middle part of a story. It still has the best chapter with Jaime talking to Blackfish.

ADWD was shit. Theon and Davos were the only good part. Dany,Jon, Tyrion were all horrible and like 75% of the book was filled with their chapters.

ADWD redeemed Tyrion and made him actually human. Same for Dany. Without ADWD and Dany would've been a Mary Sue. Jon also had some moments. You're just bitter it's not all action and witty jokes.

No it's just the fat man gave them 70% more material than they needed to develop that little and you seem to be getting book Tyrion confused with show Tyrion. Book Tyrion was never always just quips and wits. He was always Dark. The show white washed him so much it's not even funny.

Why would anyone who likes Stannis even want him back? Just to see DnD continue to butcher his character. Fuck that. Here's hoping they kill of Jaime Lannister next so I don't have to watch the hacks fuck his character over more too.

>normies can't see this is the truth
They're pathetic tbqh

He did a great fucking job considering. This might explain why there are so many bad actors on the show; it must be conducive towards people with no passion for the work.

>there are still people who think Stannis might not be decomposing right now

I wonder if actors hate bad actors

Last episode, the first scene with Dany talking to Tyrion had Dany looking like she was on ambien. Her eyes looked drowsy until an explosion or something woke her up. You gotta wonder if the dwarf wanted to slap her shit.

The show has a decent amount of good actors they just stopped caring at this point like Peter. Now the young actors are shit and Emilia is as well. Kit improved but he is still somewhat poor.

I almost wouldn't doubt a red wedding 2.0 in the finale with either a LSH reveal or BwB attacking the Frey toast. Just to kill off Jaime. Hell maybe Jaime will kill Walder and hear about Cersei mad burning off the Sept and just stay in the North

So? All Dany wants to do is bring death and instability to Westeros just so she can sit on a pointy chair

>I wonder if actors hate bad actors

I imagine it would be like any other job. Everybody hates the incompetent guy. especially if they're making your work shit by association

>great
It's ok, but it's clear that GRUM had absolutely no idea where the story was going after the first three books. If I had to guess, there are a bunch of characters important to the ending he has in mind that he hadn't worked out what to do with in the interim. I'm hoping that he isn't actually so retarded that he makes it up as he goes along like he says he does.

>(except from Kit who read the books)
I find that difficult to believe, especially if no one else read them.

Based dillane BTFO of redditors from GoT general.

Of course he didn't understand the appeal because he isn't a 20 something atheist from reddit who votes democrat.

considering jason momoa actually gave a good performance I'm willing to believe that. he was lucky his character died early on so he got out before shit really hit the fan.

It's not what she wants to do, it's what she'll eventually end up doing. Destroying Westeros, and then saving it, of course.

Same is true with Stannis, who pretty much fucked over Westeros by ensuring that the Lannisters stayed in power when he murdered Renly, and thus sent the Tyrells into their arms.

probably because she has the range of a wooden plank. they also probably had her speak more and more in other languages so you can't tell how shitty her line delivery is. either that or just standing around supposedly being badass.

I completely agree. AFFC and ADWD are 2000 pages of GRRM shuffling his feet.

fine with sending his men to die but wont marry to save a few of those men from dying

yep, seems good to me

Yes, yes very good, op, very good

HOWEVER

Well, I guess there is no hope left.

The stuff on the left is happening right now though so this is a pretty retarded picture.

The picture is from the time of season 5.

Not the topic but related:

I don't really watch GoT. Is Jon Snow not knowing anything just a meme in the show or is it some big plot point?

Well I hope it helps him get more roles. He was awesome as Thomas Jefferson in the highly underrated John Adams series. I'd love to see him honestly play the role again for a full bio pic.

Meme.

Got isn't brutal, it's just empty tits and gore for shock to make up for horrible production and writing

check

>brutal
maybe he means the lore rape

I enjoy the Jaime/Bronn friendship

>Is Jon Snow not knowing anything just a meme in the show or is it some big plot point?
this is got we're talking about so both

Need quotes backing these up.

Well it obviously fucking is, but that doesn't make it less stupid to post it now that it's now longer true.
