>Q: From the fourth book you have been uncovering some chapters with nicknames, like ‘The Prophet’ or ‘The Kraken’s Daughter’. Why do you do that?
>GRRM: Well… [Thinks for a long time with an enigmatic smile] I don’t know if you know Gene Wolfe, one of the best science fiction and fantasy writers, in my opinion. Well, his work is full of puzzles and enigmas and you have to put a lot of attention on what he is saying. I remember one day I asked him: “Why do you use that? Is there a deeper reason beyond?” And he didn’t say anything at the beginning except Han solo dies in the new star wars luke doesn't have a line of dialogue and doesnt appear until the end and finn gets his hand cut off . He just smiled me ironically and said to me: “What do you think it means?” And I told him my theories. Then, he answered: “Interesting…” [Laughs]. That’s all you wanna get out of me, but I have to say this is not an accident [Laughs].

because Veeky Forums and every board on Veeky Forums can't process the fact that shit being promoted by the mainstream doesn't mean everything with mainstream success is worthless

tl;dr:edgy contrarians

That man is a genius.

Agree. In the case of GRRM though, it is worthless.

retard. That's a spoiler for the force awakens. not the new one. jackass.

>Contemporary fantasy

Much of it stems from his current popularity, it makes him a prime target for criticism because he's big news these days

Retard, that's a spoiler for "The Force Awakens," not the new one, jackass.

People cherry pick a few small parts of his series out of context as an excuse to dislike something popular.

Speaking purely for myself, I dislike him for his atheism and the degree to which it seeps into the books. ASOIAF truly is the anti-Lord of the Rings.

If HBO never picked it up, it would probably be this boards favorite fantasy series.

because its porn with heads getting chopepd off with some razor thin plot in the back where people fuck eacho other over. it has been done a million times nad really isnt anything new or good even.

>*tips yarmulke*

Are those vivian girls?

His entire shtick is writing realistic fantasy that ends up being neither fantastical nor realistic. He is lauded for being unpredictable and bucking trends, yet it only takes a book to see what he's doing and then it's all too clear. His wit is unenviable. His prose is drab. I won't be humdrum and say that there can be no good fantasy. However, there is no good genre fiction. Any genre fiction that is good elevates itself above its position and ceases to be simply that: genre fiction. This loathsome oaf writes genre fiction. It's as simple as that. Anyone is a fool he tries to deny it. What is the great message of his series? That war is bad? That people are often morally grey? Good job Mr. Martin, but people have had that figured out since Aristophanes and much before then too. It's a money-making endeavor based on one fat man's autism. In that regard, I almost respect him.

you're trying too hard

He killed the romantic Middle Age fantasy of many neckbeards by portraying the Middle Ages as they truly were: an endless shitstorm of hunger, ugliness and pointless slaughter.

This.
There's also the fact that he can't write.

That isnt how they were entirely. You could easily characterize any time period the same way.

Contemporary Western Europe is paradise on Earth, by any account.

The peasants of Middle Ages had some amusing folk culture, but thats it. In terms of material conditions of life, they were going through hell each day.

>Sunset found her squatting in the grass
>cunt became the world
>YOU PROMISED
>forced medieval language
But, the best thing he has ever put on paper is definitely this
>And suddenly his cock was out, jutting upward from his breeches like a fat pink mast.
I couldn't even a reaction when reading this, it trascended quality.
I actually enjoy raeding GRRM but he tries too hard sometimes.

Try to understand that the west is not the entire world. People are starving, being murdered and sold into slavery en masse world wide.

See i don't see why he would sat a *fat* pink mast, a pink mast is sufficient calling it fat is confusing the metaphor.

Imagine the thickness of Sam's shlong.

Mostly in certain parts of the World, which are simply not suited as human habitat for climate and political reasons, like Sub-Saharan Africa and rural India,

"Only" 10% of the human population experience hunger today. So it definitely became a better place.

SQUATTING

80% of the worlds population lives on $2 a day or less. Serfdom did not go away, it just became globalized.

Post GRRM criticism insterad of sucking your own dick about how good/bad the world is, fags. You can continue the endless dick sucking afterwards.

>Became

FAT

PINK

MAST

eh, actually its 10% or so, which probably overlaps with the group of hungry people, which is also around 10%.

the world is not a sad place altogether, its simply too large to account for everyone.

Because I have better things to do than read his rape novels.

Again, you revert to being a contrarian again while pretending to throw GoT under the bus for your argument. You either agree with me or you dont.

Okay well less than $10 a day. Compare that to the wealth of the richest in the west. The world is not a sad place for you because you havent experienced poverty like that. Try to have some empathy.

So much this. You faggots would praise it untill it would become a meme as big as Infinite Jest.

This is actually not true. I was here before the HBO series. There were some threads about the series then but way more Joyce threads.

It wouldn't. It was the most popular fantasy series for a while before it was picked up by HBO

If you were here or bothered to do the research (looking in the archive) you'd know that's not true. It was laughed at then and it's laughed at now.

Gurm always was on the thin line between being seriously discussed and meme'd to oblivion.
Sometimes I miss ASOIAF threads.

>cucked by his own character and no one giving a shit about his self-insert.

...

>It was the most popular fantasy series for a while before it was picked up by HBO
>what is Harry Potter, Wheel of Time, Sandersons crap etc

Was wheel of time more popular than ASOIAF? I forgot Harry potter unironically.

I don't know. In my limited circle of friends it was more well known before HBO but that might as well have been because of word of mouth.

This can't be true.

I think ASOIAF sold more copies than the wheel of time.

>Brainlets unironically believe this

>"edgy contrarian"
funny, that's literally the entire premise of his fantasy novels

Did he actually say that? I can't tell fact from fiction with this fat sack of lard.
