Jumping on Destiny's Stream to Discuss Game of Thrones and Star Wars (Commentary)

[@GameofThronesPodcast]

I know you moved but why is the mic you're using in this the terrible headset mic instead of the one you use with preston for the podcasts? also i can tell you were nervous haha

[@OfficialRedTeamReview]

I normally change computers (my normal one vs my recording one) when I'm about to record with Preston and that is located in another room. I didn't have time to switch over to it since this all happened so quickly. I hate that I was using my headset mic but yeah....also I was a little nervous, I didn't want to come off as a douche for interrupting Mauler and Destiny but i also wish I had a bit more time with him 1 on 1. Talking to Mauler was very cool though

TIL the game of thrones podcast channel isn't operated by Carmine.

[@OfficialRedTeamReview]

@@get_rhythm He has my permission to run it. I don't care/mind

[@fitz7231]

Just started watching Carmine - but I think like Preston has told you before, they didn't *run out* of Book material for a lot of these characters - they discarded and threw out entire plot lines. If they had wanted to, they could have either made several seasons out of Feast/Dance, or if they'd had enough - passed the reigns.

[@OfficialRedTeamReview]

It'as both, honestly. They needed book material to continue onto the final season and they didn't have that. They had other plotlines like the Dornish stuff and the insanity happening over at the Citadel they felt didn't contribute to the final stretch of the series.

[@fitz7231]

I can agree to an extent. But remember, they made Storm into two seasons to ensure they paced the events, but then took the timeline of Feast/Dance - and did two books in effectively one season, with isolated moments from the books thrown in later without their context (The Kingsmoot, the siege at Riverrun etc.) Not all of those storylines they dropped were wacky or unfitting! If the writers hadn't felt the need to so clearly sprint for the finish line, and had spent the time pacing the development of their characters - they surely would have had a far easier time bringing the characters' stories to a satisfying close, no?

[@thewatcher2538]

Rewatching GoTs later seasons is just pain

Carmine, Preston, Destiny and Mauler in a stream talking about Ice and Fire/GOT would be fantastic Edit: Carmine and Preston talking a little bit in depth about what's happening in the books, about Euron and the Battle of Blood, his whole addiction to shade of the evening, about Aegon, Quentyn, Doran Martell and the Sand Snakes too

[@HoofHearted88]

Get Nerdrotic on there too, he'll offer better insights on the books than Mooler would. The Longman hasn't read the books, but his character insights are always interesting. Plus, seeing Preston and Nerdrotic in one video would be excellent. Just as long as they stick to talking about ASOAIF they'll hit it off.

[@OfficialRedTeamReview]

@HoofHearted88 Preston hates Nerdrotic and may throw jabs at him. Maybe

Was it Mauler that made an insanely long video nitpicking every aspect of a movie? Or is that some other nob I'm thinking of? If so you have a weird definition of "rip someone in half"

[@BubblegumCrash332]

I need Mauler and Preston ripping into season 8.

[@PortaTerzo]

Will, not happen, because Preston hates Critical Drinker, and MauLer is very close with Critical Drinker (co-host), and by association, Preston also hates MauLer.

[@ComradeCommissarYuri]

@@PortaTerzoany particular reason Preston hates drinker?

[@PortaTerzo]

@@ComradeCommissarYuri Preston thinks Drinker is a grifter, who appeals to certain type of audiance and has no integrity. In his HotD-watch, Preston made fun of Drinker, equating him to Russian bot. During later live-stream he commented on people complaining about the joke, and essentially said: "You could put half of Drinker's viewers into the basket of deplorables" Drinker also complaints about forced diversity, which Preston defends.

[@D.Records]

As someone whos comes from the movie review/asoiaf side of youtube, i never thought I'd see carmine, mauler, xena and destiny all talking about game of thrones this is a weird crossover event lol

[@OfficialRedTeamReview]

Xena is insufferable and legit racist. F**k her and I hated that she joined. Mauler and Destiny were awesome

[@coreyander286]

Was Xena a big deal before that drama with breaking up with Sneako happened? I'd never heard of her until Sneako imploded and she started entering Low-Destiny Orbit, becoming friends with Ahrelevant and Darius. I knew Sneako had a girlfriend that he and Destiny would talk about vis-a-vis his misogyny but I never got the impression she was a known name in her own right.

[@ToriaEuphoria]

This is so cool!! I’m glad to see you expand your horizons and hope to see you two talk more in the future 🤩

[@srdjanstefanovic6288]

MauLer is pretty cool,and his videos for got season 8 are gold. Carmine,you should have one on one with him sometimes in the future,and also,MauLer and efap guys think Andor is peak star wars

[@coreyander286]

Andor is my favorite Star Wars TV series, I love Andor... but it's a very specific, unique strain of Star Wars, so it's odd to me to call it peak. It'd be like if a Star Wars story about the Modal Nodes and the Max Rebo Band having a battle of the bands at Galaxapalooza was called "peak Star Wars". Man, the Max Rebo series was _great,_ I loved it, it was a great show _and_ a great Star Wars show, but it's a very niche part of the Star Wars universe that shouldn't be visited _too_ often. (Edit: I should've called it Jizzapalooza.)

[@samwallaceart288]

​@@coreyander286 Andor is the closest thing we got to the EU stories post-Disney. If Mara Jade and OG Thrawn are Star Wars, Andor shouldn't get any flak.

[@yggdrasil2]

The Strauss subplot in Oppenheimer was important, because it a) shows how meaningless personal conflicts are in a world that can now destroy itself and b) serves as a microcosm for the overall idea of being motivated of what you think will happen.

Why does carmine hate season 6 so much now? I’ll take season 6 a million times over season 5

[@OfficialRedTeamReview]

Season 6 is literally a lot of time wasting and people waiting around for stuff to happen

[@henryleake4697]

@@OfficialRedTeamReview I strongly disagree with that assessment, but have you read asoiaf or watched game of thrones? Most of the books/seasons are people sitting around not doing anything until the end. 6 had Dany going to Westeros, Jon becoming king, Cersei becoming queen, hold the door, BOTB, Jon’s resurrection, tower of joy. Compare that to other seasons like 3 where the only major thing to happen was the red wedding. That doesn’t make season 6 better but what your saying is inaccurate. I’d argue the reason season 6 is where the show ends for most people is, unlike feast and dance, the story finally progressed! A big problem with season 5 is that copies the pacing of feast and dance, where collectively between both books the story doesn’t advance from where storm ended. I’d also argue that you can tell 6 is based off some unreleased winds stuff, as the writing hasn’t gone off a cliff like 7 and 8. George clearly was more involved with 6. Plus no Dorne also helped a lot. 6 is the only season bran’s storyline was interesting, the first time Dany was interesting since season 3, and cutting down on a lot of the pointless subplots was a smart move at the time.

[@robstewartstewart98]

I suspect that George will still probably at least finish and release Winds before Preston and the excellent collaborators finish. HOWEVER, I def hope that even if George’s Winds is different than what they are doing, they get started on a Dreams fan fic for George’s Winds. They would definitely finish before George ever finishes Dream

_The Last Jedi_ was a great movie, a great _Star Wars_ movie, and a great Luke Skywalker story. _The Force Awakens_ was limp, a stillborn story, and any extent to which Rian Johnson veered off a path J. J. Abrams set was a great choice. Johnson took a bad story in _The Force Awakens_ and somehow alchemically transmogrified it into gold. _Last Jedi_ was to _Force Awakens_ what _Clone Wars_ was to the prequel trilogy.

[@yokesplooge2852]

While yes Dany losing drogo and rheagal could be a political advantage in a cold pragmatic way but the trauma definitely broke Dany at the time, she hurled herself into a pyre with her husband over it and could have very likely played a huge role of the madness Dany displays later if not start her down the path of being a mass murdering lunatic in the first place.
