Game Of Thrones

Full Metal Jacket is better than the book. To Kill a Mockingbird could be argued. One of the recent ones that come to mind is Predestination though it is based on a short story/thought experiment.

Have you read the books? Sorry I forgot you're one of the if it isn't your opinion it's stupid and invalid crowd. Carry on.

I've read the series twice, so yeah, I might know a thing or two about the books.

And I'm open to all opinions, but criticizing the usage of the title of the book which plays a massive role in the entire series? Yeah, I think it's dumb.

So what about the Iron Islands? There was stuff going on that hasn't even been touched. Can they possibly cut all that out?

They cut out all of the resurrected characters as well. Thoros and Catelyn stark are both in the books after death. Those whole stories disappeared.
 
I heard the books have an undead protagonist character called Blackhands or Coldhands or something like that, and he's supposed to be pretty bad-***. Rides a stag, I think, right? Do you guys think he'll make it into the television series, or has he clearly been written out?

Damn I forgot about that. I liked the zombie catelyn out dealing death.
What was her zombie name? (It was a cool name iirc)

Ya that dude is cool. I don't know if he will be in the show since bran is not really in the show anymore.

So you obviously haven't been reading my comments. It's not the use of the title itself, is the poor writing techniques that surround it that takes the reader out of the story just to use the device. It's bad writing plain and simple and a fully valid criticism of a flaw in the work. But again, it isn't your opinion so I'm not surprised you find it "dumb". That's your MO.

Lol at you.
 
It's a valid complaint. GRRM falls in love with phrases. Words are winds, dark wings, dark words. He used undy in every banner he was describing in one of the Dunk and Egg stories. All in all though, it doesn't take me one bit out of the story.
