Why did Game of Thrones become so popular?

Why did Game of Thrones become so popular?

sex

Normies first edgy series / story

I doubt that is true for the majority of viewers. Braveheart was a very popular movie in the 90s with a similar level of violence.

Pornographic politics and stuff

Medieval soap opera with broad appeal

The books were very popular since the '90s.
Gave it a starting point to go viral.

Literally the nudity and softcore porn

soft-porn and dragons.

First few seasons were great

Every series on HBO, Showtime, Starz has tits.

Im not sure,but every person i know that likes this show are girls beetwen 20/30 with their hair dyed

Pretty sure most people watching GoT are under 30 and were too young to watch Braveheart

jews jewing

Because it was violent, had tits and pussy and had actual story in the first seasons.

Being a geek became popular, it has strong independent womyn. Tits for the guys.

i dunno, it had sex, and an interesting story. now i just watch for dany flying around on her dragons every episode. there's really not much else going on anymore.

>tits
>pussy
>porn
I refuse to believe there are enough people who don't know about free internet porn for nudity to really drive viewership

Pretty sure you pulled that idea out of your ass. The show is popular across a broad demographic.

"most pirated show in history"

Because I'm sure it's people over 30 doing the pirating.

There's porn and then there's allure. Being presented tits and pussy through investment is more satisfying. People get their feelings involved through violence and intrigue, titties are the payoff.

Because it’s a really good tv show. This shouldn’t be difficult

It was, until they ran out of book material. But you really can't be surprised by that outcome.

Men in their 30s have no trouble pirating television shows. They have been using bittorent for years compared to 20 year old faggots who may not even own a desktop computer.

It's like all those romance novels women read.
Porn has its place, but so does this.

Sometimes you want an innocent looking blonde white teenager having all of her holes drilled by a pack of brutish black men with large penises. Other times you want to be tittilated by sex within a storyline.

>the most popular show in the age of easy piracy also happens to be the most pirated
really making me think, user

Porn sucks. Nudity and sex presented in a big budget television show will always be superior.

Because Kit Harington was carved by the sex gods out of godstone

If that's true, why isn't he taller?

It was good up until after Red Wedding then started to go downhill.

When he stands on his penis he is 6'5

good books

It was good for one season after that. When they killed off Tywin they lost their best Machiavellian antihero and Cersei is not compelling enough to carry that torch.

The books can still do interesting things with the Boltons, Greyjoys, Martells, Tyrells, Stannis, and Aegon. The TV show kinda put all their drama on Cersei and the White Walkers while sweeping the rest unceremoniously under the rug.

I.e. sloppy writing brought about by practical limitations. Ironically, that's why George left TV to write novels.

this except unironically
