Critical Miss: All About the Thrones

[Mysten]

Alright women, drooling over Jason Momoa's arse I can understand

Whats with women and man butt? I get why men like the women's gluteus maximus,
but I can't see why they would care about ours....o_o unless something was horribly wrong with it.

It's the only remotely sexy part of a man's body they can drool over (while we're fully clothed, at least).

It's not like men really have much going for them in the first place when it comes to the sexy. Have you ever looked in a mirror? We're ugly. I honestly don't believe God could have possibly made Adam before Eve. If anything, s/he likely spent the first six days expertly crafting an incredibly beautiful woman and then on the seventh day thought, "oh crap, I'm supposed to be taking the day off. Quick, get the preliminary sketches. They're a little rough and all I have are spare parts, but I can whip something up in an hour." And man was born.

I don't get it. Where, pray tell, were you promised dragons? Here's a spoiler for you - no actual dragons until the season finale. Or you could have, you know, read the books like everyone is supposed to anyway...

Which is why Im not watching it, though Im glad a size-able production value went into it.

no, wait, that isnt a pun, IM NOT LIKE HANKMAN!

You're doing yourself a disservice. It is a good adaptation that does an amazing job between staying true to the source material while at the same time making it work in a different medium. And the books aside, it's simply a good show. Seriously, go watch the first two or three episodes, it's pretty great.

Me: I see...but....what about the face?
Or perhaps that comes into calculation BEHIND our butts?

Having to second this. Look, I hate to enter Comic Book Guy mode, but where were dragons promised again? I thought this was pretty obviously a low-fantasy world. No extraordinary displays of magic, no fantastic beasts and monsters, no high heroics in exotic locales; just human beings having human experiences.

Wrong It just STARTS at a human scale and then layers all that stuff in really gradually.

At present in the book series, we've got dragons, necromancers, ice zombies, sorceresses, ninja shadow assassins, etc.

That's what makes ASoIaF such a great series. By denying you that instant gratification and giving it time to lay groundwork, he allows it all to actually have an impact, and produce real awe.

Whats an ice zombie? A zombie who died of frost bite before becoming undead?

Whatever the white walkers are man, I don't know . They freeze people, they turn people into zombies. They're ice zombies.

maybe there's a Dovakin hiding & Killing & stealing all the dragon related stuff?

I support this message. Apart from our bottoms, the only thing we can claim sex-appeal for is perhaps our stomach, if trained right.

 

[Quiet Stranger]

I don't understand this at all, I guess I'll have to watch an episode also what is this Game of Thrones?

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

Don't really understand HOW you could have missed the dragon eggs when they made such a big deal of presenting them at the 'wedding'. All those cracks about Drogo's bum were rather cheeky

Making Drogo's posterior the butt of all these puns is really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

These puns are so assinine I wish I could wipe the slate clean and forget I ever read them.

OT: Who promised dragons? The title doesn't say anything about dragons, and they aren't supposed to show up until the end of the first book. I can guarantee that no one promised you dragons.

Shoulders. That is all.

Who's with me?!

For fairness' sake and discussion value, I still found Drogo an extremely attractive man even with his trousers and that waistband thing on, so it has to be something else, right? Can't discount nicely chiseled pecs either.

Nah, men were the prototype. He created us, and thought it was good. He then thought, "You know what this could use? Tits." And lo, on the 6th day, God created tits.

"Dragon Eggs"

Nice work this week, I hope to see more of Nathan Fillion as a running gag too XD

 

[Geo Da Sponge]

Yay! Someone else primarily thinks of Sean Bean as Sharpe.

"Winter is coming... Sean Bean, away!"

 

[Weslebear]

This seems to be one of the few things I slowly grow out of rather than into.

This was instantly my favourite webcomic after reading but a few but it's dwindled way down the list for me, just my opinion but these feel like they have lost something they did have.

 

[darlarosa]

Jason Mamoa's arse should always be a supporting role...mmhmm

 

[Dana22]

Wait for the 2nd season. Spoiler alert.

 

[DTWolfwood]

much praise for the setup and delivery! i always crack up when i get to the last pane!

note to self: watch the show <.<
