You pretty much have the crux of it. I read three of the books before realizing that this is all it ever really is. Plus they constantly do very mean things to the Starks, pretty much the only characters that are basically good.Originally posted by Elok View PostIf there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

So, does Lord Sister****er end up having a good, morally redeeming reason for defenestrating the kid? I'm not quite halfway through the book, just past the part where the fat kid joins the blackguards, tells the story about his dad threatening to kill him, and gets help from Jon Snow. I'm starting to wonder about JRRM's attitudes towards women, too. The tomboy sister is the honest one, the girly-girl is stupid and weak. He lovingly describes young Daeynaeyrysys getting fondled/plowed by her crypto-Mongol, and after the two dozenth weepy-doggy session she starts to like it. The queen has yet to show a personality trait other than "gratuitously *****y/evil." Etc.Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View PostComment

He has strong female characters that repeatedly have horrific **** done to them. But all the characters have horrific **** done to them. I read through most of the series and I think the "good guys" win like, once out of every ten times. The only people who are really basically good are the blackguard dudes and they get royally ****ed constantly.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

I have no difficulty with the mind bogglingly bad things that happen to people. It actually doesn't bother me. What does bother me is that it isn't balanced out with any good things happening to anyone. It's just a depressing world throughout. Add to that the fact that there are about 4 or 40 or so times as many characters as the number that I actually care at all about, the books are long as hell with lovingly detailed monologues about stuff I find totally uninteresting ("LEMON CAKES!"), I fail to see anything compelling about the books at all.Originally posted by kentonio View PostIf there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

My response is full of non-specific spoilers.
Can you think of a good, morally redeeming reason for defenestrating a kid? Jaime does grow considerably, though.Originally posted by Elok View Post
Again, both characters grow a lot. It becomes increasingly more difficult to root for Arya, and increasingly understandable why Sansa behaves the way she does.I'm starting to wonder about JRRM's attitudes towards women, too. The tomboy sister is the honest one, the girly-girl is stupid and weak.
Humans are adaptable creatures/Stockholm Syndrome is a *****.He lovingly describes young Daeynaeyrysys getting fondled/plowed by her crypto-Mongol, and after the two dozenth weepy-doggy session she starts to like it.
You eventually develop some sympathy for Cersei, but as far as I'm concerned her actions never become justifiable.The queen has yet to show a personality trait other than "gratuitously *****y/evil." Etc.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

Your response is further proof that you're a close-minded little ***** that views the world in extremes of black and white. What you describe couldn't be further from the truth - it's as if you and I have read two completely different stories...Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View Post

I have no idea how you could come away with that impression.Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View Post
So you don't care about the details that make the characters more than just an obvious outline, you just concentrate on the major events? Have you ever thought that perhaps this could be a factor in why you find it such a 'depressing world'?Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View PostComment
