>Writing is hard. This was maybe my answer to Martin, whom, as much as I admire him, I do quibble with. A Song of Ice and Fire had a very illuminist philosophy: that if the king was good or bad, it won't matter, the land won't prosper. We look at real history and it’s not that simple. Martin can say that Robert became king and reigned for a few years, and he was fat and lazy. But Martin doesn’t ask the question: What was Robert’s narrative theme? Did he represented a classical archtype? What would be his place in a mythological epic? And what about all these Northerners? By the end of the war, Ned and Robb are gone but all of the northerners aren’t gone – they’re spread around the cold north. Did Cersei pursue a policy of systematic murder and kill them? Even the little northern babies, in their little northern cradles?

Yeah, Robert Baratheon is Aragorn who's bad at ruling. Jon Snow, meanwhile, is simply Aragorn.

This is the fourth or fifth bait thread like this. I mean as in up right now. Stealth board raid? Trolls going nuts? Either way mods need to delete this shit.

When people obsess over this shit and ignore the nuts and bolts you end up with trash like the Mass Effect 3 endings.

If I had to pick between this and yet another Warhammer-based thread, I'd say
I don't know
keep it up?

This seems more like a response to those than agreeing to them. The tax policy bait is copy pasta shitposting. This at least brings something new.
Also /tg/ always has been plagued by repetitive threads snd your whining won't stop it. Sage and hide, join or don't: boobplate, elf slave, smutcrowd, redeemed succubus and industrial necromancer have a new playdate buddy; tax policy. Your complaining won't even dent any of them

A warrior grown fat and complacent on a lingering victory. He represents the kingdom itself which had grown complacent in their long Summer.
