I binge watched S8 a few days ago and I came back to this video because it's like in 2013 they predicted how the later seasons of GoT were gonna be with their lyrics. Season 7 already sucked, we should have seen the winter of our disappointment coming.

[@Pikkabuu]

@@justsomecreatureofthisearth GoT sucked already in season 2 so it wasn't hard to figure out that the series would disappoint.

[@wickedbabayaga]

@@Pikkabuu As a fan of the books for years before the show debut, I didn't even like season 1 and didn't progress to season 2. The casting was quite a bit off on some key characters just for instance the Baratheon brothers: Robert Baratheon should have been moreso someone like Don Frye in a fat suit than Mark Addy who has clearly never been a physical specimen in his life and they didn't even use camera tricks to make him imposing, he still looks 5'10'' and a fat guy that stayed a fat guy instead of a warrior gone to seed, Renly actor was way off (I've seen Stannis scenes on youtube and he was a great cast though). The invented scenes and dialogue from season 1 were tin-eared (but not as bad as the later seasons), this was before they started making superhuman girl power pandering characters. I only watched from season 6 to the end so I could go ahead and get the ending which will probably never see the light of days in printed form. If GOT was my first experience of the story I definitely wouldn't have bothered to read the books.

Books, are always better because, it's like the making of the movie itself in your own version. Someone, a director or film writer, imagined how the movie should look and be from the book. So you see by reading books you can invoke your own inner screen plays in your minds eye this gives the story much more complexity and a cherished sense of meaning.

aullik Why would they do that? Most of the major movie successes in fantasy followed the books very closely, whereas lots of fans get really upset when the movies deviate. I take the lord of the rings, harry potter and eragon movies as my points in case. The lord of the rings movies are amazing, and the harry potter ones are as well... but the eragon movie. Oh, the eragon movie. What the hell, movie-makers? I mean, there wasn't even a mention of elves in the eragon movie. For fucks sake, Arya didn't even have pointed ears. And the Razac. The fucking Razac. They're not summoned creatures made out of dirt, bugs and filthy bandages. They don't even have mouths, they're supposed to have beaks! I could go on, but I believe I've made my point. Anyways, do you have any idea why HBO is deviating from the books? It just seems so silly and stupid.

Ishio Kenbu It was that and I was already interested in it but couldn't read it because I was too young, and other complicated things

[@ishio3409]

Kwittycat D. Nothing bad about "jumping a bandwagon" anyway. Every normal human being would be interested in something that has been getting really famous and want to check it out themselves as well. I myself am also one of those people who first started with the GoT tv show.

Ishio Kenbu I always stick to "source material first" sometimes the movies came before the books. Also I was just defending myself because there are a lot of people who will hate you because you like something popular, but you only started liking it after it was popular

[@NINacide]

I'm reading the books too for the same reason. I didn't read these fantasy novels when they came out because I was reading R.A. Salvatore fantasy novels at that time. It's like "sue me, I was reading a different series back then."

How has this video not broken the internets?! Best video maybe possibly ever

[@nevyn_karres]

Still not got the next farking book AAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!

[@CaptainSpitafrolli]

Well I guess he waited 10 fuckin years for the Winds of Winter...

[@1Robertmixon]

This is perfect, haha. I don't watch game of thrones but I relate to the book being better. I read the whole Darren shan saga and when they released the movie I was excited but only to have my dreams crushed and stepped on. The book has gore, and adult violence and so much awesomeness locked into 12 books and than a movie came out that was rated for children, CHILDREN no heads getting ripped off, not people dying, it was a disappointment and it pissed me off.

[@Sarukitten1]

Yeah ö.ö !

[@evertime123]

The manga version of the series is a million times better than the movie I suggest you read it if you enjoy manga or anime at all

[@ellecollins5516]

Feels. I was so excited about the movie, what a major let down. I hope they leave The Demonata alone...

[@rhyannahnolan105]

Robby Mixon Does this mean you don't have the right to watch the series as long as you didn't read the books? Or is this a rant about the ppl pissing you off talking about the series while you already know? I've been reading lots of books being made to movies or series later. Some good, some worse, who cares. Otherwise I saw many movies or series made of books I didn't read. Also I've been reading books I wished someone would have made a movie of those. oubie2 People read books, but maybe not the same as you do.

What a great song, it really strikes a cord; I forget how many times I told my teenagers ......"Try reading the fucking books, for once!". Got a good laugh from this. I will be forwarding the link on Well done fella's.

[@GuitarrAssassin]

LotR. The books are better, but they're not for everyone due to their age and Tolkien's writing style.

[@NahrAlma]

+dolofonos I'm not sure what that implies. I've only read the Hobbit and that one is clearly better than the movies.

[@annr4768]

+GuitarrAssassin Toilet paper is for everyone. Books have their target groups or intended readers which does not mean they are worse (or better) than movies. The first time I read LoTR I was nine or ten, neither my age nor Tolkien's style (which I consider very good) made it difficult for me. Probably nothing could. The movies were a HUGE disappointment the first time I saw them but that was because I loved (still do) Tolkien's creations too much and did not understand at the time that films are not books and the two should not be compared. These are two different media conveying different stories. It's like comparing tea and rice.

[@MedievalFluff]

+Ann R yeah whenever i see a movie that ive read the book for, i enjoy it for what it is, rather than judging it constantly against the books. This is probably why im one of the only people who enjoyed the hobbit movies at the same time as being a diehard tolkien fan.

[@Pikkabuu]

+Ann R Well yeah but in this case the tea is freshly prepared and from proper ingredients while the rice is molded and cold and you are not really sure how much of the rice is actually rice and not maggots...

[@annr4768]

+Pikkabuu You're missing my point. You won't quench your thirst with rice and tea won't prevent you from dying of starvation.
