What's so good about Game of Thrones? Why is everyone so obsessed over it?

I tried asking around and everyone just said that it's the violence and the sex and the incest, i.e. anime with white people.

Pretty much everyone in my circle who follows the "geek" trend has to be passionate about it or else they'll get jumped on.

Please explain to me.

if that's not the case though, the character development, payoff episodes and plot twists might get you hooked.

Vikings is better.

>>718662242
Dont know either bro.

I have a circle of friends that literally cum guzzle the next episode coming out and cant understand why i dont watch it. They showed me a couple of episodes and while it was fairly easy to watch and i didnt hate it, but like fuck am i watching hour after hour of it.

You took the words out of me anon. This is exactly how I am and feel.

This. I wouldn't even give it a chance a few years ago, I watched it recently and it surprised me. Not to mention all the fighting/war scenes, they're incredible.
>>
>>718662242
It's an amazingly well produced show with great actors, a huge well used budget, and many shocking twists.
>>
Its about every single actor being a 10/10 performer,it's about a massive expansive storyline that makes you connect with the characters and care for them in a way no other show does because there is no main character.It's a one of the most solid fantasy worlds out there with a lot of backstory,magic and mystery to keep you interested.It's very well writen so you can theorise and talk about it for hours because you can see every word and dialogue is there for a reason.One of the most amazing revelations was made in the last episode and more than half the people that watched it didn't even get it because it doesn't cater to dumb people you have to think about what's happening and connect episodes by watching it multiple times.It's a very good show my favorite in fact and it has nothing to do with violence or sex
>>
>>718662646
Just like a JJ Abrams show. It's fantasy Alias.

"That's a twist!" every fucking minute.
>>
>>718662242
Story is great
Setting is great
Characters are great
Visuals are great

The sex, violence, and rock and roll are just the cherry on the cake.

>>718662242
have you tried watching it? You know, so you caa actually have your own opinion about it like grown up people do?

It's easy.
True fans like to see the imagination come to life.
(Or some aspect of it)
Most people bandwagon or just get hyped.
Don't worry too much about it.
>>
>>718662242

My GF has seen Every episode. I have sen most and it is pretty good show. I like it for it's parallel to modern day imperialism.
>>
>>718662755
Have you tried growing up and not making speculations while trying to sound smart?

I am forced to watch it every single week with a group of friends and it has been this way since they discovered about it. It's an okay show, scenes are great and there's some edgy things here and there that would shock the normalfags every now and then; I can understand why those people are appealed by it but still, I wanted input from here.
>>
>>718662698
I think the smartest people in the world arent even watching that shit.

It caters too the dumbest of people, people who whore tv shows and movies.
>>
>>718663223
yea keep watching what you arent interested in /b/ro then you can have a valid opinion about it and also have wasted 50 hours of your life to get to that opinion.

The people that love it are just addicted to find out what happens next.

The laws of the world generally are this..... If most people are doing it they are idiots its the things most people arent doing that are usually worth while.
>>
>>718662242
It's a very well done epic that happens to be very entertaining. It's about as good as it gets.
>>
>>718663277
OP here, I also think that it's not really something the smartest people would watch, but it is what is most accessible to the public in terms of shows that deliver that "everything makes sense" feeling.

I mean I can't imagine normal people actually watching underground shows, dramas, reading books etc. The kind that would overwhelm their brains since they thought GoT was already mindfucking.

because what you think of as normal, i might call retarded
also the books are better then the show atleast starting with season 3/ book 4
>>
>>718663529
>I also think that it's not really something the smartest people would watch
....whats that even supposed to mean? who are those "smardest people" and why cant they enjoy some fantasy/drama?
>>
>>718662242
For me it is the story and the fact that any of the characters you like will possibly die
>>
>>718662533
and if your really fuckign gay like me the lore and histories are interesting af, and actually give quite a bit of insight into what could happen next.
>>
>>718662242
Watch it anon, it's not like you have anything better to do in your life, besides fapping and shitposting all day that is.
>>
It's a soap opera for men...
>>
>>718662242
Watch it yourself. Why should people have to explain it to your stupid fucking ass?
>>
>>718662344
no it isnt. Its good but it just isnt as interesting, characters all suck except ragnar whom i think is dead now (not up to date just dl the new eps). It also was meant to be relatively historically accurate but now they just throw all these well known vikings into one period and cause bs gossip girl drama. On top of that production salary is just way less meaning the battle scenes and shit clearly only consist of like 30 dudes being replaced in different shots.
>>
>>718663510
Or maybe they're doing it because they enjoy it and it's good...you know, like sex.
>>
Vikings is better...
>>
>>718664351

I love vikings, but it really isn't, not even close.
It has Lagertha, which is a plus, but it's a rather average show.
>>
>>718663848
I mean the people who call others dumb if they don't watch GoT because they think that GoT is for the smartest people and people who don't watch it are just too dumb to understand.
>>
>>718664262
Because I have watched it already.
>>
>>718664664
so you counter some made up shit, with your own retarded statement? great, trumps america^^

THIS

Nope. I'm on the 5th episode . its just too dirty and the camera angles are bad. Also you can't like any character because they are all bad people unlike game of thorens

I seen game of thrones last month for the first time.
Was the best shit I ever seen. It wasn't so entertaining and hold the door.

eh i watched a shitload of shows, including GoT and i gotta say, overall it's a pretty decent show, nothing more nothing less. The show does a good job at keeping you interested, and then theres the usual plottwists yada yada.
imo its a solid 6,5/10
Also those who say vikings is better, or just good at all should kill themselfs,
>>
>>718662242
for a geek
its pretty much the equivalent of having a lord of the rings tv series.
even if its not the best, its still cool to have and i will force myself to enjoy every second of it. the show is eye candy.
>>
>>718662242
You're not alone OP. I tried watching it and it just seems like some boring generic fantasy bullshit not unlike many shows that have been done before. Then again I'm a weeb faggot autist that has a hard time getting into most non animated shows so there's that.
>>
>>718665654
i like your honesty.
>>
>>718665650
>lord of the rings tv series
Now that would be fucking sweet

Also I agree with you OP, I watch the show but I don't get the massive hype, people these days get massive tv boners over shows that don't need it.

Just watch the fucking show and then shut the fuck up about it
>>
It went to shit after Tywin died. The most recent season was complete trash.

it's not good, it's just better than the other shit that's on.

This show is overrated, simple as that.
Don't stress yourself about it, people are easy to manipulate and they'll do whatever to defend it, but in reality it's a pretty shit show so just move along, the hype will die someday.

you only responded to the part you liked, wich means you eighter have or are a cunt.

if you actually asked people and their actual responses were that they like it because of the "violence and the sex and the incest" then your friends are idiots.

Pretty sure this thread was started to make fun of GoT fans.

If you like fantasy type movies/shows, you make like GoT. If you got nothing to do and you are interested in something new, then try GoT. If not, then okay.
>>
GoT is cringeworthy when they speak in their made up languages. They sound so stupid like teenagers speaking pig Latin.

Vikings used old English, old French, old Norse, and Latin. It isn't embarrassing like GoT
>>
>>718667544
>made up languages
star trek uses made up languages and they sound retarded too.

theyre fantasy shows dude.
>>
>>718663639
I dont think we speak the same language if thats what you gained from that.
>>
>>718667932
Good point. GoT is as cheesy and campy as the original Star Trek.

which episode contains incest scene?

you watch your god damn mouth nigger

Great writing, great characterization, great acting, great costumes, great set pieces. The feudal setting has really interesting societal rules that the characters have to navigate. Lots of analogous events to actual history.

Shit is awesome OP.

>>718662242
It's got very well written characters. The story is boring and cliche for the genre, and the setting is generally uninspired (with the exception of the wall), but the characters are masterfully done and make the whole experience worth it. Also there's incest.
>>
I like the medieval setting
>>
>>718662242
the blend of the story the thrill , the unexpected plot twists and the music.. especially the music of this show does it for me
>>
>>718665654
There hadn't been a medieval fantasy show on TV for decades before GoT premiered.

This, but George R. R. Martin deserves a lot of credit for making a living breathing world with characters that are so much like real people with real emotions, and values, and goals.

I loved how I thought nothing could top Joffery and the show would suffer once his arc was done but then this motherfucker shows up and makes him look like Maester Luwin.

I didn't like how that scene was so hyped up though before the show. They acted like there was going to be another Red Wedding or Ned happening that episode, but all we got was off screen rape which is pretty tame for the setting.

>>718670331
Yeah exactly. You have characters like Jaimie, The Hound, or Caetlyn, where you think it is cut and dry good and bad guys but then you realize they are like real people, they all have a light or dark side that makes you realize how stupid 90% of writing it.
>>
>>718667544
Dude, the first season of Vikings was terrible. Couldn't make it through. Not sure how it has lasted this long.

Pic related.
>>
>>718670331

Are you fucking kidding me? It's a Ye Olde Engle-lande retread that recycles every lazy fucking trope from the Society for Creative Anachronism, Dungeones and Dragones and Medieval Times.

You could get the same effect as Game of Thornes by posting pictures from the Kansas City Area Renaissance Faire and asking /b/tards to x-ray the tits.
>>
Can we all admit that Brienne of Tarth is the best character?
>>
>>718670783
lol no.

The Hound was the coolest
>>
My friend started making fun of GoT whenever they started speaking in Dothraki or any other language. I can't watch the show now without cracking up every time. It sounds like Chris Elliott trying to speak French.

I like how the show has dealt with Cold hands, and the Tower of Joy, although it sucks that they left out the fact that Myra Reed is Jon Snow's sister, Although maybe they are letting Martin reveal that fact. Do you guys think Lady Stone Heart will show up in the show.

What mouthbreathers did you ask?

It's story, politics, characters and lore, most of it well shot and well acted.

Season 1-4 is fenomenal. It has boiled down to a pretty dull "gud vs evul" show now, with more focus on the dull boring characters.
>>
>>718662533
To be fair, far from all fighting/war scenes are good. But when they go out of their way to make proper good action, they truly deliver.
>>
>>718663529
What game of thrones is now is easy and accessible, the earlier seasons are not. The only reason you think that is because you've only watched a few episodes and you think that the character itroductions is as complicated the show gets.

It's not something you have to very clever to understnad or to enjoy. But it's not accessible to most people. What the show has boiled down to now in the later seasons is much more accessible and normie-friendly. But they first seasons are not easily accessible.

I don't want to insult you but do you really think it's was to make such judgements on a series where you've barely been introduced to the characters?
