It is totally predictable that a professor of historical languages would have a more accurate perspective on history than someone like Martin, right? ACOUP points out that Martin’s worldbuilding is better grounded in historical stereotypes than actual history… Of course Lord of the Rings is fantasy, and sanitized (At least it doesn’t lie about it). If we’re starting at Lord of the Rings and adding elements to get more realism, I’ve always thought Monty Python’s Holy Grail would be a better pickup than GoT. Everything is covered in shit in both, which is something Lord of the Rings really lacks, but the people in Game of Thrones are too clever and able to keep together these grand schemes. Python adds the stupid that defines us. |
