The Gnat Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I'm very interested after seeing that trailer. The series is solid as books, but bloated, I'm hoping the show will be able to help clean that up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpulse Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Not sure if this show is going to stay grounded enough to hit big with the masses. LotR and GoT had magical elements and creatures but the heart of it was in the grounded characters who trudge through the mundane. Jon Snow and Aragorn are popular characters because they are just men with swords IMO. Still, I am here for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this is definitely going to be more magical, I think GoT in the books is more "magical" but audiences will be more primed for some more magic because of LotR and GoT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a big bad coming, but it so on the backburner. If you polled GoT tv only fans, I would bet most would say they came back for the grounded character work of Tyrion, Jamie, Bryanne, Rob, Jon Snow, Dany, etc and not the white walker threat looming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heinz D. Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 This looks phenomenal. And as a severely jaded old bastard...I rarely say this about trailers anymore. I haven't read the series, but my brother has has, and loves it dearly. Hopefully the series lives up to its source material... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard it got better when Brandon Sanderson took over after Jordan’s death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenos Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) Trailer looks good. Almost LOTR film type quality for a tv series. I just hope it doesn’t succumb to pressure to be like GOT because of Bezos. Edited September 3, 2021 by Xenos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've formerly fallen into this category, and this is spot on, for me, personally. The White Walker angle was by far the least interesting part of GoT.

Oregon Ducks Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 This will be the next big thing in fantasy. So freaking pumped for this show! The source material is terrific and they’re making some good changes to fit a TV audience. I already had a thread for it FYI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
