I hear game of thrones is an amazing series but i also hear it has lot of nude scenes . Is there a clean version of got?
I don’t think there’s a clean version, it’s soft compared to what we have viewed on the internet, just mostly seeing tits if that’s alright for you
They told me the last season suck exactly as the last seasons of The 100 or Star Wars Ep9 so i avoid it from the start.
No. Not only is the show full of sex and nudity (which wouldn't bother me if it served a purpose, but it almost never does) the story itself is rendered utterly pointless by how bad the last half of the show is.
Depends on what you mean by “good,” and depends on which books. They aren’t particularly graphic with the sex. The first one is top fantasy, and it kind of slips down from there until the last one (so far), A Dance With Dragons, which in my opinion is a giant waste of time. By that point, you find which characters really do have plot armor and it’s less interesting. But I also have weird taste in novels so take my perspective with salt. Whatever that idiom means.
I watched an enjoyed it, but i was full addict at the time so i barely noticed the frequent explicit sex. I would struggle with it now. I have to be quite cautious with the films/TV shows i watch, typically sticking to older stuff,etc. I'm hoping it will pass.
Well, I was listening to a historian say, George RR Martin gets basic historical aspects wrong, especially the way women are treated as well as the way battles are depicted... Although if you're not a historian you might not care about that sort of thing.
It’s fantasy. This is Westeros, not Western Europe. The seasons are slow, they do seven years of Summer and Winter at a time, they have a pantheistic religion that doesn’t appear to matter that much, there’s dragons. The idea is, conditions are such that despite many similarities, some things shake out a little differently. Things like the treatment of women, and perhaps how battles are conducted. Of course the real reason is so we can have a more appealing narrative for modern sensibilities, but this is like an alternative timeline where the familiar may or may not apply. I get it. Inaccuracies in the way violence is portrayed in films and novels irritate me to no end. In real life people don’t “test” one another, they don’t exchange witty dialogue, they don’t exposit their plans to let any bystanders, like the audience behind the fourth wall, understand what’s going on. In real life violent encounters, people try to overwhelm their opponent with excessive force, as soon as possible. It’s hard to KO a person, and it doesn’t last long. If it does, the victim probably has permanent brain damage. Don’t even get me started on Hollywood’s gun fetish; they treat firearms with as much enthusiasm and complete lack of regard for how those firearms work as the porn industry treats sex. It’s extremely irritating. This historian saw a thing that is close to their area of expertise, close enough that it could sow misconceptions and that put a burr in their saddle. However, these criticisms would be more applicable to a historical fiction novel, not a full high fantasy where magic is rare but real, and the people have key dissimilarities with European culture. As fiction, A Game of Thrones is fresh air. Before that, readers could identify the good guys and quietly sit back and enjoy the process of watching them win. Martin didn’t let that happen, so for about three long books the reader is playing meta catch-up, trying to figure out who this narrative is really about and wondering if all the best characters are going to die. However, the prose steadily deteriorates, and Martin’s own favorite characters become increasingly evident. In A Dance With Dragons, the most egregious casualty to the cast is time itself, as Tyrion Lannister slowly travels to his destination but doesn’t do or learn anything of consequence on the way, and we follow bland characters that are clearly marked for death in a side plot we know isn’t going to go anywhere. In the meantime, violence that once felt like brutal honesty that advances the plot and exposes character feels more like feeble attempts to shock readers and make them feel uncomfortable. A Game of Thrones is far above average fantasy fiction, and believe me, that doesn’t happen often. However, A Dance is sub par, and all the more disappointing because of the heights from which the series fell. I don’t know if it’s reasonable to expect Martin to continue delivering exceptional content, but I do know I’m not bothering with The Winds of Winter, unless I hear that it’s substantially different from the HBO series and substantially better than Dance. I have too many other things on my TBR.
Yeah I agree with Meshuga, if I could go back, I would read the books first and then watch the show, although some parts in the books are very boring(Deneris stories), but if you like fantasy it does not get better than GoT. I also hope Winds would be more interesting and revealing than the show, the series are good till season 5, after that, apart for some episodes and moments, the show pretty much goes downhill.
No, “House of Dragons” is a prequel to GoT, I assume about the Targaryen family and their rise to power. A Dance With Dragons is the fifth book of the series, titled to tease the reader into thinking the Danery’s dragons will play a more prominent role. Which they do, at the very end, to tease them becoming more prominent in the next entry. It’s just a lot of promises that fail to deliver. A waste of time. And for the record, “House” at least appears to be a cynical cash grab, similar to Amazon’s “Rings of Power.” Fundamentally unable to replicate the magic of the original, because the artist who made the original so captivating is not involved, or doesn’t seem to have the juice.
I watched the first episode of House of dragons but I didn't catch the episode last night. I'll get back to you with my review. I didn't realize people had such frustrations for George R R Martin. I realize that his input for the show hasn't always been the best and I haven't read any of the books, but from reading the posts here it sounds like people are equally done with his books haha.
A pornographic programme is a no if you really want to "kill your lust". To heal from porn you must make sacrifices, not shoot yourself in the foot.
