@saltiestcrackr@empiremagazine@PrimeVideo@TheRingsofPower Absolutely right, though he did go to Rhun during the First Age to assist the migration of the Eldar - if I'm not mistaken - alongside the other four as part of the Guardians ~
@ComplexPop Unfortunately Kishimoto may not have such a level of creative control that Oda had with the One Piece series, and Oda having such a handle on that was primarily the reason for its success ...
@PeterPorker97 Although people would explore the start line, though not at full-speed reverse. They'd be afraid to hit the wall and lose their coin and inventory.
@Lordoftheringsu This is going to be a case where the writers believe they can write along the same lines of Tolkien (or even surpass), which they can't -- we've seen simarlities with GRRM's House of the Dragon, for instance ~
@westerosies It's very rare for a show writer to be able to improve on dialogue, especially when it's those who believe themselves capable of outwriting the likes of GRRM; but Ira Parker did well with this addition to the original text from A Hedge Knight ~
@AwesomEmergency I believe they were jesting, and even the Summerhall statement may have been insincere, too -- given Peter's reaction, as well as the fact that was even allowed to air ~
@Nerdrotics We also know that GRRM had apparently given Ira Parker 10-12 stories after the events of Mystery Knight ~ Even if he doesn't finish Winds of Winter (God knows what of A Dream of Spring), at least he can muster 110 pages per book for Dunk and Egg? :(
@YousifOfBabylon @westerosies If I'm not mistaken it was an initial concept that GRRM entertained, but ultimately put aside. I can understand the concept of wishing to create that contrast with the Strong Boys, but holistically it was a terrible choice ~
@YousifOfBabylon @westerosies In the books, there's the implication that Rafe - the character you're referring to - is a male, so that's another issue ~ Also, Aegon the Conquerer (and his sisters) will be swarthy or dark of skin given the nature of his mother, with what they did in House of the Dragon ~
@notsatvik@Dataracer117@westerosies Well such a thing means that Aegon the Conquerer will be swarthy or dark of skin given the nature of his mother, so it complicates matters somewhat -- a reasonable observation, nevertheless ~
@LostHistory9 Aragorn could have slain Lannister, the Mountain, Selmy and Dayne with his left hand while he was taking a piss with the right (to repurpose and reconstruct a GRRM quotation) ~
@islandofnumenor Well Tolkien suggested in Nature of Middle-earth - and his other last writings - that the two didn't stray from their paths when in Rhun and Harad -- also, based on the Istari and UF, it's also, too, unlikely that the Blue Wizards would have been fair of skin or white of skin ~
