A Song of Ice and Fire or Lord of the Rings?

A Song of Ice and Fire or Lord of the Rings?

One of these invented a language. The other masturbates really hard to incest torture porn.

I think I'll take the former.

ASOIAF is good, but I think it jerks itself off quite a lot, whereas LoTR has a purpose and a story to tell and it tells it well.

Sunset found her squatting in the grass, groaning. Every stool was looser than the one before, and smelled fouler. By the time the moon came up she was shitting brown water. The more she drank, the more she shat, but the more she shat, the thirstier she grew, and her thirst sent her crawling to the stream to suck up more water.

I love it. Can anyone who's read it give me some context?

One of the protagonists is stranded in the wilderness with dysentery.

Oh look it's this thread again. Tolkien is far superior in just about every way.

Don't tell that to /tv/ though, they get really butthurt about it.

lotr because it's mad sick yo!

I dont know why people hate this passage. Its a very accurate description of diarrhea

he wrote "shitting" haha

ASOIAF is pasably entertaining soap opera stuff. 6/10

GRRM is a better editor and compiler than he is a writer. Many of his story collections from little known authors' are very good.

LOTR is good shit, but it isn't the best Tolkien, and Tolkien isn't the best author. It's a classic, but can't really hold a candle to older fantasy classics like The Worm Ouroborus. 8/10

Tolkien's The Hobbit and Farmer Giles are both 10/10 fantasy stories.

So you prefer ASOIAF?

That's like comparing Alfred Hitchcock to CSI. Tolkien, of course.

fail

Dildo Baggins

It's more like comparing Breaking Bad to Dexter, IMO.

Actaully Breaking Bad is a bad choice. How about Silence of the Lambs?

ASOIAF is mediocre crap. No fantasy book (to the best of my knowledge) that create 'Europe twin' type worlds capture the complexity, which in my opinion makes Europe interesting, to a sufficient degree. Books like The Malazan Book of the Fallen and LOTR are much better because the don't try to clone Europe and then make it simple enough that the audience, and the author, can fully understand the intricacies. They create their own world.

Just because it's accurate does not mean it isn't vulgar.

Nobody reads a wikipedia page on diseases for the prose.

Dark Tower.
Fight me.

This guys got it.

no they dont lol

Although some of the criticisms often posted here are valid I enjoy ASOIAF for its characterisation and think it does good job of having a vast array of interesting and believable characters with well constructed arcs. The characters feel real not like cliché archetypes and I also find the theme of moral relativism and the absence of a standard good - evil narrative refreshing for a fantasy. All that said I prefer LOTR especially if you consider the silmarillion.
