isn't it stupid to bring a genius writer and instead of asking creative questions you start telling him to explain summerhall and explain this and that it's pretty annoying
Well you're a fan, so you probably don't need the explanation, but when you're in an advertising event a big amount of the audience doesn't know what he's talking about, so defining context is really important
It's almost insulting to bring a celebrated author and have an interviewer who isn't familiar with his works ask the questions. Who in the fandom of asoiaf doesn't know what Sumerhall is?? 🙄🙄🙄
Well ofcourse the true fans of ASOIAF like us know.....but the show only plebs have no clue. Some of them don't even understood who Jons parents were exactly now.
The fandom of ASoIAF includes far more people than just you and your friends, including some who will not buy hardcover anymore because their bookcases are too full, and will not buy a collection of stories for the ONE set hundreds of years in the past, without a lot of justification other than it being set hundreds of incestuous unions in the past.
You just know everyone in that audience wanted to tell the woman to get off the stage so they can take over, and I don't George would be opposed to that.
When I heard about the Dunk and Egg stories and was reading ASOIAF I was frankly a bit annoyed by it's existence and much rather would have had George focus on the asoiaf. That all changed when I got around to read DunknEgg after finishing Dance. It's great, and I hope he can produce a lot more of it, or other stories in the asoiaf universe. Awesome.
Yeah it botherder me so much, i went streight to comment section, not yet finished the video... She stuttering so much, like 2nd grader during oral exam... wtf
Agreed All.👍 You would think that having an author present like G.R.R Martin, whoever organized this would have A. Went with a(their) top quality interviewer.. Or B. Chose someone who was knowledgeable about GoT & the authors work. 😔
I can't wait for him to elaborate on a knight he spoke about (Ser Fisticuffs) who fights only with large circular balls of steel with spikes (like the end of a mace) affixed to his armor like boxing gloves.
It is so painful listening to her read I'm pretty sure she's an intelligent woman, and a great and her profession but she has no idea who these people are
It's actually a valid question. In the 3 novellas he's very arguably not. In his later life, maybe he was maybe not. I would say he wasn't because otherwise he's a very perfect character and George hates too perfect guys.
@@AxeDharme I've just today listened to the first novella, and so far Dunk seems far from perfect to me. He is thickheaded, naive, reckless, poor, and he keeps failing throughout the whole story, keeps making mistakes. In fact, the only conventionally positive qualities I see are that he has stronger morals than most, that he's strong and knows how to fight. That's about it. He's kind of a manchild, really. Perhaps he'll evolve in the next two novellas more. I'll see after I buy the whole book, because The Hedge Knight is 5/5 for me.
@@andreashort310 Yes I know what you mean. "Dunk the lunk, thick as a castle wall". But you'll have to read/listen to the Sworn Sword, Mystery Knight and know of his exploits through World of Ice and Fire(if you've not already). Things change and he overcomes the odds.
@@AxeDharme he did make it to captain of the Kingsguard so there has to have been some development, being paired up with a young and clever prince in these adventures might've been the catalyst.
You wud think that the interviewer wud of at least done sum sort of research if she wasn't clued up already, I bet there's hundreds upon thousands who wud of given their right hands to interview this genius of a man,
@just juggy No, it isn't. As someone who lives in the UK its just there's plenty of idiots that don't know 'would've' is the shortening of 'would have', so they ignorantly say 'would of' - which makes no contextual sense amongst other things but they aren't bright enough to understand that. (Just in case you struggle with that bit: 'aren't' is a shortening of 'are not' and not 'are of')
He shouldn’t be giving up any of that information. It’s too easy to figure out what’s gonna happen by the clues he lays since he does it in such detail
From Holland...this lady is really really bad at this...well I hope hobby...when she gets paid for this the person who hired her should also be fired. Not just the clear lack of legwork/research,but also the terrible speaking voice,tone and the mumbling/stuttering etcetc...also very insulting to your guest of a world wide succes. It is not about an obscure hobby or something. Not a fanboy. Just opened a suggestion from the algorhytm and she was just so bad I could not not say something. Could have been lotr or Harry p or whatever. Just terrible interviewer from the start...
*** SPOILER *** No you are thinking of the trial by 7 on horseback in which the Laughing Storm fought alongside Dunk as did Breakspear tragically. Anyway I have heard a theory that the Storms son was set to marry a Targy princess then they broke the marriage promise leading to the now kingsguard Dunk fighting his old friend.
Well, to a certain extent, that is true... in other interviews he's talked about the value of "mystery" in fiction and how the readers mostly want to know every detail about everything, but in storytelling there is value in leaving some things unknown or open for interpretation; in the history of the real world, for example, we don't know all the details of every event
Why does the the interviewer seem to know less about GRR Martin’s lore? She is king to let him explain and give details about the lore. But she gives the impression that she does not know much. No disrespect to her, just curious.
If any of you, like me wonder how this man, and others like him can come up with THOUSANDS of pages of story, and multiple stories, even multiple interwoven and related stories, and then more and more stories not even as part of this world.. and are like "omg, i couldn't write ONE story... not enough for a whole book anyway, like... what do you fill the pages with? sure i could come up with a few good ideas for some good scenes, but how do you fill the other 699 pages with every day goings on and every day dealings about people having meetings and eating dinner and walking from place to place I was like that, and i used to be hopeless at it. Buf i found a way, i found out how. it's not a natural gift, you just need to expose yourself to ways of hearing MANY MANY MANY stories from star to finish, in a fast conscise way. You need to hear more and more and more stories, tat have a beginning, middle and end, over and over and over, So you can then think back over these for ideas, so you'll always have an idea how to start a story, you'll always then know how the middle of many many different stories go, and certainly you'll have ALOT of ways of wriring the ends to stories. Do you want to know my secret? It's just like Georges here. I started exposing myself to Comics. Yup, good old comic books. Each one of those magazines, are only maybe 20 pages long, not too much text, but they containt full stories, every time, beginning, middles and ends, every single time, sometimes multiple stories in one book. I found you don't need to even be that into the genre or type of story or character, superhreores or whatever, what i found great, was just reading hundreds of them, especially doifferent genres, non stop. So after a year or so of this, i now had thousands of small stories in my head, that i would have never been able to get there before. As each comic, is like a Tolkein novel, but a tiny version of it. Try it out, you might find alot of ideas, For me it was amazing for opening up my understanding of content and structure for my stories.
Ugh. New fans aren't going to be sniffing out information on a famous battle from a sub-series they haven't read. Just interview him as if they know the available info and service the fans who are actually following. If by chance new fans are indeed watching, they can look things up themselves if this conversation triggers an interest in the mysterious stuff talked about
In theory it has to be the last Dunk and Egg, number 12, because they die at Summerhall. However only the first 3 Dunk and Egg stories have been released yet. Which realistically means there will never be such a story.
while watching this from a few seconds in I thought "Man there's probably a fuck ton of deserved hate from the comments to this trash interviewer" and boy did you guys deliver lmao.
I been trying not to jump on the "this is a horrible interviewer ba n bandwagon" but my damn she is terrible it's like she got the gig 10min before the event started. Ok I finally got in line to get this off my chest see yall on the kings road.
Im glad George just keeps talking over the interviewer because she is intolerable because she doesnt know anything and is too slow...because she doesnt know.
Dual between two guys wearing full plate armor and what appears to be steel heater shields...usings swords. That's going to be a very long and pointless dual
Doesnt Mr Martin realize hes morbidly obese and up there in age so u would think he might get his stories out a little sooner. Wasn't dance of dragons published like 8 years ago. I hope most fans realize that we will never get to even hear about at least 50% of the stories in his head because he will be dead way before he gets them to paper
There truly is no filter on the internet, imagine going up to someone and saying "You realize you're morbidly obese right? And you should probably hurry along with your books before you die of obesity." Jesus christ.
