@@محمدعثمان-ق3ش makes sense wealthy families mostly married good looking people bearing good looking offspring, you can see it with celebrities today so yeah
Well if it went over your rather small head, this is a description of Cersei Lannister, someone defined by her beauty and vanity. And Mad Men has a lot of good looking people, I can take it more seriously than this show
Tbh, if the show had let the Stark kids have that characteristic Tully red hair, contrasted with Arya and Jon’s dark hair, it would’ve made Catelyn’s hurt more apparent. Even tho we know Ned wasn’t unfaithful, it would be hard not to think Jon was his son esp since all his other kids (except Arya) had red hair.
well they cange them to look like ned since the plot that hair coloure is inherited from the father, jeoffry beeing blonde wold have not been such a big deal if rob had red hair
@@olly13d That would be on the show for not properly explaining Eddard's suspicions. The book made it clear that it's not just "child gets father's hair", but rather "every Baratheon-Lannister marriage in history bears Baratheon-looking children". It's not surprising, given there were four or five bastards of Robert's to have "the seed is strong" stick in the books, but the show only detailed Gendry.
@@HayatoByakurai yes i know the books go more in depth, but the show only highligthed the hair part , and even so by that logic jhon snow dosent have hes father hair ,the show plot is inconsistent aniway, but having the stark kids with tully red hair wold have been even more obvious
@@olly13d Always inheriting the father's hair is not a thing, but rather Baratheon black hair is very dominant and almost always produces black-haired children, especiallly when married to Lannisters throughout history.
Its funny how despite also being in his mid thirties, Stannis looks like he should be at least in his mid fifties. I guess a lifetime of resentment and bitterness doesn't age a man well.
Tbc they’re all described to be extremely attractive except Tyrion. Jamie is considered the most attractive bachelor in the Realm, his sister was the old most beautiful woman of the Realm and Joffrey is constantly attracting younger girls especially for his pouty pink lips.
The Cersei from the books looks like Margot Robbie. I don't know if she would have been able to convey Cersei's ambiguity as Lena. Lena was PERFECT for Cersei
Alfie Allen captures the "after" Reek effect, but isn't nearly as handsome as Theon was supposed to be as shown by this AI. Would have been interesting to see it change the same picture to Reek as you said.
All the characters were aged up for the show. In the books the adults are in their late 20’s or early 30’s. People like Jon and Daenarys are only like 13-15.
@irisamanda3922 i was shocked when i learned that Joffrey was basically around the same age as Jon and Daenerys cuz they were both 13 when the series started. I always assume they were teenagers like in the show
I’ll be honest, that AI generated Cersei did not look like a mother of 3 children in the slightest. She looks like she’s never had kids, stress, education, or pain in her life. The Cersei from the show played the part perfectly, she looked like a mother who’s husband is abusive, she looked like she lost her mother as a small kid and her father has been critical of her and her siblings because they’re nobility. She doesn’t look wet behind the ears like the AI generated one lol.
I just tried to generate characters who don't look "perfect", telling it e.g. to make the nose too big or the lips very small. Literally nothing changed to the pictures I got before, which is kinda disappointing when you really want to create realistic characters. So no, there are no ugly persons created by AI, except there is an accident like five fingers too much or some 😂😂
Honestly the casting and costume/makeup designs on the show are very good at capturing the descriptions of characters in the books. It's clear George RR Martin had a hand in the casting of his characters.
Catelyn’s actor is an old wrinkly woman who js ugly asf. Robb and Bran dont have auburn hair and Arya isn’t beautiful nor “long faced”. Could’ve gotten literally anyone else to play Catelyn and Arya and die the others’ hair.

And they casted whities for poc and after that they casted poc for clearly white characters of the books, it was really dumb. by the way, so many parts were recast and in the messed up & scatched first pilot, several main characters were played by other actors as well. so I think GRRM was just very excited to make the TV Show happen and was okay with the choices until he said the whole TV Show has it's own canon which is different from the books. I mean just think about Daario Naharis or Young Griff. Daario looks completely different than he does in the books (book version is much cooler, especially regarding Tyroshi culture / customs) and Young Griff isn't even in the show while in the books he's a big player and quite the perfect character to ever be crowned King.

Who I think doesn't get enough credit for their portrayal in the show is the actor who plays theon. Dude managed to portray insecurity and inferiority complexes within a human so damn good. The way of how he overcompensates, how his demeanor and tough guy act feels forced just really sells it. He isn't the toughest guy, but the guy that wants to be the toughest guy. You know the saying, the guy in the room who's the most silent is the most dangerous guy around. While theon is the guy that feels the need and urge to constantly bark and show off in order to overcompensate for his insecurities. That was so very nicely captured by his actor.
HOLD UP! WAIT A MINUTE! you mean to tell me the baratheon men are supposed to look like THIS, and in the show they did them dirty???!!! What? Henry Cavill was not available?!
Yes. Ned describes Robert as looking "like a maiden's fantasy", and Renly looks like Robert come again. Renly is (quietly) gay in the books, but he's very much a handsome and masculine jock-type.
@@thelegacyofgaming2928 "It seriously upgraded Arya"? To be fair Arya is supposed to be beautiful, she's being called that numerous times throughout the books. She was called pretty when she was little too, the bullying only came from Sansa and her friend for having longer face and not being ladylike enough. Plus most of the time she was muddy and wearing boy's clothes. She thinks she's ugly in her POVs or not good enough, but that's bc of the bullying and her horrible Septa. Even Adriana Lima said she never felt pretty because she was called ugly and too skinny lol. Same with Arya, sadly for some people (esp those who criticize themselves) nasty remarks have more weight than compliments.
@@nishaajenkins THANK YOU 😭 I honestly think this "Arya is ugly" comes from ppl who only watched the show, bc there's no way they overlooked so many parts of the books saying the contrary about her
Yeah, but I kinda love how the show shifted the aspect from loving Catelyn for her appearance to loving her for her nobility, for the value she has for a sociopath like Baelish. I like the interpretation that young Catelyn was beautiful to Petyr's eye because she meant everything to him, but that she is actually not a Margaery tier supermodel. I really love the casting of Catelyn Stark as a woman-next-door beauty, a face radiating motherly kindness, warmth, wisdom and femininity.
@@lisaerk8487 After Joffery agrees to marry Margaret. Sansa walked down the hall with a big smile of relief. Creepyfinger gets way too close. Checks her out up and down and keeps telling her how much she looks like her mother when she was young
Well I’m glad we still have talented casting directors because I think the show was spot on in capturing the essence of each character. CERSI couldn’t be played by any other human on earth… no matter how they look & that is pure writing/ cinematic/ acting magic!
I think we all can agree that the actors were chosen so well that they truly brought justice to the characters. (the only inconvenience were Dany s eyes,not purple in series)
They tried. Emilia could not wear the contact lenses. They could have added it in post production as they did to Vivien Leigh in Gone With the Wind, but chose not to.
Robb is exactly the way that I imagined he would look when I read a fan fiction story titled “Frostfyre”. In that story Robb and Margaery get married and fall for each other. I can see how handsome he would appear to Margaery, and Robb was struck by how beautiful she was.
I guess they say for Renly's eyes - sometimes green sometimes blue because in the books GRRM first description of his eyes is that he wears green that matches his eyes. He admitted in an interview that the green was a mistake spotted later by his colleagues. His eyes were always intended to be blue as all Baratheons. It was a fun thing to learn. George makes mistakes as well with such minor things. After all it ia a vast world he created. 😅
We need more, there are a lot of characters missing: Tyrion, Tywin, Varys, The hound, The mountain, and the list goes on and on. Night King would be amazing to see too, since it was CGIed into the series, I`d like to see if they nailed it. And also...We need....Rose!
Beautiful depictions. I love the casting choices for the show as they really balanced the descriptions with what was needed for the storyline - for example, the actress for Catelyn Stark wasn’t as young or traditionally beautiful as in the books but had a real strength conveyed in her appearance that was vital for the dramatic scenes - but enjoyed seeing what they look like according to the novels. A few even look quite similar to the actors that portrayed them. The one miss was Greyworm. If taken and castrated as a child, I find it hard to believe that he would have aged into such a stocky example that was given and imagined him more as was depicted with a leaner build.
I would consider it a detrimental decision if you swapped actors from show with those smug pictures. The main function of character design (actor, acting style, hairstyle, makeup, clothing... ) is to differentiate each character from the rest. Those pictures feature too similar looking people (especially women) And in the show I only experienced weird similarity between Roose Bolton and Tywin Lannister. Though it was probably due to the fact that at times Bolton was poorly lit. Overall the quality of character designs for the show I consider very high and they never have to be 100 percent as in book. Just true to the general intention or idea.
How can someone see Arya as ugly and mistake her for a boy if it is her orginal apperance? I think she is really pretty in this video, I can even say she is as pretty as Sansa. Anyway, I think it is pretty accurate video.
Because she doesnt act and look like a noble child but one of the peasants and her features are more rough than of Sansa. But she is so often mentioned as ugly i guess it is a forshadowing of her killing Cercei as according to the witch Cercei visited as a girl her downfall will come from a younger and more beautiful.
AI made them all look completely unrealistic tho. This is like a list of the most attractive plastic people on the planet. Nobody looks like that IRL lol. I don't see even a single freckle. The women all look way younger and more beautiful than they should too. Catelyn's had a ton of kids, lived outside for decades without sunscreen, and is probably in her forties, and yet she looks like a model. When an HBO cast of attractive actors looks more attainable in comparison, you've set some really unrealistic expectations in your audience.
I do agree they've all been prettified and they've got some things wrong but to be fair the show actually made Ned and Catelyn about 15 years older than the books. They were meant to be in their mid thirties.
There's actually been a few articles of criticism towards AI art being "too pretty". It's definitely something that needs to be taken into account when they're training their models.
You must not of read the books. Ned stark is probably about 33 no older than 35 in the first book Catelyn is around the same age. Jaime and Cersei are the oldest being 39 maybe 40. Most of the people shown are also from the hugest house considered the most beautiful people in westoros especially Cersei, Catelyn, margary and Sansa. King Robert was also considered hot af in the past and are my and Gendry are supposed to look just like them. Joffrey is also considered a pretty boy in the books. And the targeryans are considered the most beautiful. A song of ice and fire is a fantasy book. The show did not include even half of the magic in the books. Most of these characters are seen as otherworldly. So these AI pics are more accurate than the show
True, but she's supposed to be. Similar to her aunt, Lyanna. They put a fierce quality in her eyes, though (the first one). Third one was also nice (her in King's Landing, afraid, yet resilient, a depth of sorrow, yet a survivor). Arya''s my favorite character and I think they did a really good job with her beauty and complex young soul.
I don't think Arya has even been described as ugly, just plain compared to her beautiful older sister. The 'Arya horseface' nickname might just be kids being cruel.
Simply an amazing rendition! However，when I read the novels and fanfictions，I usually imagine the show's actors portraying their characters。Can't be helped。Though，there are some characters I imagined are portrayed by the actors that never officially appeared on the show，like Rhaegar Targaryen portrayed by Heath Ledger，Howland Reed by David Wenham，Jon Arryn by Liam Neeson，Rhaella Targaryen by Cate Blanchett，young Robert Baratheon by Henry Cavill，young Ned Stark by James McAvoy
I intentionally watched (most of) the show before I read any of the books because it's too hard for me to imagine characters without references like that. I did the same thing with the Lord of the Rings.
@@MatthewTheWanderer LMAO SAME. my brain gets really overwhelmed trying to mentally build the characters' faces/features in each scene while im reading and its honestly so distracting. i loooove when there's an adaption i can use for reference because then the reading is easier. i thought i was the only one who had this problem!
Globally I don't like the idealized way ia has portrayed them, they're all smooth and identical, I prefer the much more realistic and authentic physiques of the series.
I just love how appearance in ASOIAF really matters. It's not just for the characters to look good-looking but it's more like a signature of their blood, along with their houses and family.
Most of these are pretty dead-on, although the one for Ned is WAY too handsome compared to his book description, which is a somewhat dour, long face. When he and Robert were childhood friends, you definitely got the impression that Robert was the one who got all the attention.
I absolutely love the ai portraits. When I was reading the book years before the show I imagined them approximately like that. I needed quite some time to get used to the series characters' looks after years of imagining them totally different.
So aside from the show aging almost everyone up, avoiding alien eye-colors and the cast looking… well, human, pretty accurate! (Although, it seems that quite a few of these male characters share identical facial bone-structure? I know, there are real mathematical proportions that are supposed to be more/most pleasing, but the fact that is even know should mean there’s an automatic correction-to-flaw -in-symmetry to avoid everyone appearing to be perfectly beautiful.) Ah well! Thank goodness they left the gore, filth and other stuff in!
The person who made this video did a great job! All these pictures are exactly how the book described them. The actors/actresses chosen for the series were way off.
It’s funny how in some pictures the faces are flawlessly dream-like supermodel-looking faces, and then in quite a few pictures the eye on the left is significantly higher making them look derpy.
This is completely irrelevant to GoT but AI renly looks almost identical to my Dad when he was in his early 20’s. Though my father has a slightly fuller face and strikingly icey blue eyes. The eyebrows, eye shape, the nose, jaw line, dimpled chin, and most striking the thick wavy raven black hair are spot on. It’s like looking at what my dad might have dressed like if he was a feudal Prince. 😂
Why no Tyrion, Missandei, Hound, Mountain, Tywin, Tormund, Jorah, Olenna, Qyburn, Sam, Euron, Littlefinger, Varys, Ramsay, Tommen, etc. and so on, lol. Is there a part 2?
Whenever I get around to reading the books (trying to wait for him to finish before i start but idk if thatll happen), I'm still going to picture the actors of the show lol
This is how I pictured the Lannisters and Baratheons looking like, based on descriptions from the books. Everyone else are too good looking in the AI imo.
If everyone in the show was this good looking it would've looked more like a daytime soap opera 😂😂

HOLD UP! WAIT A MINUTE! you mean to tell me the baratheon men are supposed to look like THIS, and in the show they did them dirty???!!! What? Henry Cavill was not available?!
Ikr!!! 😭😭😭
Yes. Ned describes Robert as looking "like a maiden's fantasy", and Renly looks like Robert come again. Renly is (quietly) gay in the books, but he's very much a handsome and masculine jock-type.
@@lluewhyn That's how Robert was when he was young, lol. By the time of the show he is older and has "let himself go" so to speak.
Henry Cahill was busy being hot in The Witcher.
@@MatthewTheWanderer that's right. Mark Addy was exactly who I imagined for older Robert when I first read "A Game of Thrones."
AI made them all super gorgeous lol.
It seriously upgraded Arya and Brienne lol. Kind of nerfed Robb Stark
@@thelegacyofgaming2928
"It seriously upgraded Arya"? To be fair Arya is supposed to be beautiful, she's being called that numerous times throughout the books.
She was called pretty when she was little too, the bullying only came from Sansa and her friend for having longer face and not being ladylike enough.
Plus most of the time she was muddy and wearing boy's clothes. She thinks she's ugly in her POVs or not good enough, but that's bc of the bullying and her horrible Septa. Even Adriana Lima said she never felt pretty because she was called ugly and too skinny lol.
Same with Arya, sadly for some people (esp those who criticize themselves) nasty remarks have more weight than compliments.
@@nishaajenkins THANK YOU 😭 I honestly think this "Arya is ugly" comes from ppl who only watched the show, bc there's no way they overlooked so many parts of the books saying the contrary about her
Now I finally understand why Little Finger had a thing for Catelyn Stark. wow wa wiwa.
And its said that sansa will become even more beautiful then her. No wonder creepyfinger targets her. 🤢
@@lisaerk8487 Pedøfinger 🤮
Yeah, but I kinda love how the show shifted the aspect from loving Catelyn for her appearance to loving her for her nobility, for the value she has for a sociopath like Baelish. I like the interpretation that young Catelyn was beautiful to Petyr's eye because she meant everything to him, but that she is actually not a Margaery tier supermodel. I really love the casting of Catelyn Stark as a woman-next-door beauty, a face radiating motherly kindness, warmth, wisdom and femininity.
@@lisaerk8487
After Joffery agrees to marry Margaret. Sansa walked down the hall with a big smile of relief.
Creepyfinger gets way too close. Checks her out up and down and keeps telling her how much she looks like her mother when she was young
Was I the only one who was looking forward to see how Rhaegar looked?
they hit cersei's PIERCING eyes very well, i felt pierced
get neon contacts. That works like this
Well I’m glad we still have talented casting directors because I think the show was spot on in capturing the essence of each character. CERSI couldn’t be played by any other human on earth… no matter how they look & that is pure writing/ cinematic/ acting magic!
Totally agree. Well said!
It’s kinda crazy how much the AI Robb ended up looking like Richard Madden :o
It did look just like him and a few of the others were close too…AI probably has access to the actors etc and gets info based on them too.
all the women could be sisters - little variation
stfu. we dont need diversty. like what they did with the velaryans in HOTD,
I think we all can agree that the actors were chosen so well that they truly brought justice to the characters. (the only inconvenience were Dany s eyes,not purple in series)
They tried. Emilia could not wear the contact lenses. They could have added it in post production as they did to Vivien Leigh in Gone With the Wind, but chose not to.
@@tessdurberville711 Well,at least it's not such a big problem. Her acting overcomed that🙂
@@tessdurberville711
To alter her eye color after the fact. Would be too time consuming as well as eat up the budget
Robb is exactly the way that I imagined he would look when I read a fan fiction story titled “Frostfyre”. In that story Robb and Margaery get married and fall for each other. I can see how handsome he would appear to Margaery, and Robb was struck by how beautiful she was.
Where can you find that?
@@mariah4531 I found it on a fanfic website called ‘Archive of Our Own’
@@mariah4531probably on ao3 , search on Google the titre n ship
link to the fanfiction story pls
Sauce pls
2:46 is spot-on to how I pictured Renly to look when first reading the books.
I was mesmerized
I was mesmerized
Cersei = Westeros Barbie
I guess they say for Renly's eyes - sometimes green sometimes blue because in the books GRRM first description of his eyes is that he wears green that matches his eyes. He admitted in an interview that the green was a mistake spotted later by his colleagues. His eyes were always intended to be blue as all Baratheons. It was a fun thing to learn. George makes mistakes as well with such minor things. After all it ia a vast world he created. 😅
I thought his eyes were teal and seemed either blue or green from different perspectives
Can your Ai write Winds of winter also?
Is this how they r described in the books?
@@shahada95as it states in the title, yeah
Honestly, I'd love to see Euron, Ygritte, Theon again as Reek, Ramsay, Tyrion, Tywin and Jeyne Pool - Jeyne gets forgotten about so quickly...
Tyrion will be a challenger to this AI. He is described as a ugly man. But this AI tends to show everybody beautiful. 😅
@@LightCyan I have noticed this. Or, maybe you and I just aren't fussy.
Because they erased her for Sansa to give her some arc bc they didn't let Sansa be like in the books, but one of the main characters in the show
Tyrion would be interesting.
The book description was, let's say unnerving
Eddard actually looks similar to The actor who played Uncle Benjin. The first photo at least.
Benjen in the show is how I originally imagined Ned to look like in the books, funnily enough.
Plus the only reason why they got Shawn Bean is because he dies
Would love to see AI depict Dario’s goofy ass look lol
We need more, there are a lot of characters missing: Tyrion, Tywin, Varys, The hound, The mountain, and the list goes on and on. Night King would be amazing to see too, since it was CGIed into the series, I`d like to see if they nailed it. And also...We need....Rose!
Is it me or does the AI for Viserys, Jon and Dany seem similar to the actors?!
I noticed that too.
The second Jon photo looks like that Timothee actor guy
Jon looked more like timothee chalamet in dune tbh
Nope, Emilia looks very diferent to IA version.
@@acidobarbiturico439I see every now and then people spell AI like that, can you explain why please
Young Robert Baratheon is chef's kiss!
I would love them to do an A Song Of Ice and Fire animation with the way these characterisations look.
I honestly only came here in the hope of seeing tyrion
Young Robert Baratheon looks a lot like Henry cavil
This is one channel that I don’t mind having an AI voice. The depictions are amazing!
I agree. So well done.
They are quotes from the books.
Renly and Sansa made my mouth drops, they are way to beautiful for humanity hahah
Too idealized. Not everyone supposed to look so ideal in the books. Infact the show itself prettified a lot of characters.
Bran looks like freaking Peter Pan
1:10 & 2:50 Henry Cavill
3:20 Natalie Portman
4:09 Sean Connery
4:48 Tom Cruise
And 9:43 Antonio Banderas lol
8:39 Robert Pattinson
3:20 is Brie Larson
11:06 Greyworm ---Wentworth Miller from Prison Break
3:39 young Stannis looks a lot like Henry too.
Renly and Margery together would’ve made some beautiful kids irl
He's gay
at 1:33 Robert Baratheon looks like an older version of the TV series' Robb Stark
Beautiful depictions. I love the casting choices for the show as they really balanced the descriptions with what was needed for the storyline - for example, the actress for Catelyn Stark wasn’t as young or traditionally beautiful as in the books but had a real strength conveyed in her appearance that was vital for the dramatic scenes - but enjoyed seeing what they look like according to the novels. A few even look quite similar to the actors that portrayed them. The one miss was Greyworm. If taken and castrated as a child, I find it hard to believe that he would have aged into such a stocky example that was given and imagined him more as was depicted with a leaner build.
More likely to run to fat; they got castrated before their hormones set in. The voices were also far too deep.
They needed an older actress when they cast a 25 year old as her son
The only one more beautiful than the AI version is Pedro Pascal.
mong
Was wondering to see what Theon as Reek would look like…
I would consider it a detrimental decision if you swapped actors from show with those smug pictures. The main function of character design (actor, acting style, hairstyle, makeup, clothing... ) is to differentiate each character from the rest. Those pictures feature too similar looking people (especially women) And in the show I only experienced weird similarity between Roose Bolton and Tywin Lannister. Though it was probably due to the fact that at times Bolton was poorly lit.
Overall the quality of character designs for the show I consider very high and they never have to be 100 percent as in book. Just true to the general intention or idea.
The AI looks like it should work for the CW network. All them look like models.
How can someone see Arya as ugly and mistake her for a boy if it is her orginal apperance? I think she is really pretty in this video, I can even say she is as pretty as Sansa. Anyway, I think it is pretty accurate video.
Because she doesnt act and look like a noble child but one of the peasants and her features are more rough than of Sansa. But she is so often mentioned as ugly i guess it is a forshadowing of her killing Cercei as according to the witch Cercei visited as a girl her downfall will come from a younger and more beautiful.
Hence why Tywin Lannister calls people who mistake her for a boy idiots 😂
AI made them all look completely unrealistic tho. This is like a list of the most attractive plastic people on the planet. Nobody looks like that IRL lol. I don't see even a single freckle. The women all look way younger and more beautiful than they should too. Catelyn's had a ton of kids, lived outside for decades without sunscreen, and is probably in her forties, and yet she looks like a model. When an HBO cast of attractive actors looks more attainable in comparison, you've set some really unrealistic expectations in your audience.
I do agree they've all been prettified and they've got some things wrong but to be fair the show actually made Ned and Catelyn about 15 years older than the books. They were meant to be in their mid thirties.
Did you miss the part where this video was based off of the book descriptions and not the show?
There's actually been a few articles of criticism towards AI art being "too pretty". It's definitely something that needs to be taken into account when they're training their models.
You must not of read the books. Ned stark is probably about 33 no older than 35 in the first book Catelyn is around the same age. Jaime and Cersei are the oldest being 39 maybe 40. Most of the people shown are also from the hugest house considered the most beautiful people in westoros especially Cersei, Catelyn, margary and Sansa. King Robert was also considered hot af in the past and are my and Gendry are supposed to look just like them. Joffrey is also considered a pretty boy in the books. And the targeryans are considered the most beautiful. A song of ice and fire is a fantasy book. The show did not include even half of the magic in the books. Most of these characters are seen as otherworldly. So these AI pics are more accurate than the show
@@thedban1206
It’s not based on anything, hair/eyes colors is correct but anything else is just AI generating super models.
This is honestly how I imagine them when reading the books 😂
Arya looks far too beautiful here.
True, but she's supposed to be. Similar to her aunt, Lyanna. They put a fierce quality in her eyes, though (the first one). Third one was also nice (her in King's Landing, afraid, yet resilient, a depth of sorrow, yet a survivor). Arya''s my favorite character and I think they did a really good job with her beauty and complex young soul.
In the books she is
I don't think Arya has even been described as ugly, just plain compared to her beautiful older sister. The 'Arya horseface' nickname might just be kids being cruel.
I agree.
Damn I wanted to see what the dragons would look like
Yes! Accurate to the books images of the dragons would be great.
Well based on how the rest of the cast looked like with AI, the dragons would've looked like Playboy models.
A little more, and we would have seen the pretty Night King.
😂
Brienne looks a little bit like if someone tried to make Toni Collette look brutal
10:31 This is, actually, Emilia Clark
Wow. They all are like I imagine them in the book. Great job, AI. People forget often they were kids in the books
Simply an amazing rendition! However，when I read the novels and fanfictions，I usually imagine the show's actors portraying their characters。Can't be helped。Though，there are some characters I imagined are portrayed by the actors that never officially appeared on the show，like Rhaegar Targaryen portrayed by Heath Ledger，Howland Reed by David Wenham，Jon Arryn by Liam Neeson，Rhaella Targaryen by Cate Blanchett，young Robert Baratheon by Henry Cavill，young Ned Stark by James McAvoy
I always see Henry Cavil as King Aegon the 1st.
Rhaegar, Jon Arryn, Howland Reed (young) and Young Ned Stark, they appeared on the show.
I intentionally watched (most of) the show before I read any of the books because it's too hard for me to imagine characters without references like that. I did the same thing with the Lord of the Rings.
@@MatthewTheWanderer LMAO SAME. my brain gets really overwhelmed trying to mentally build the characters' faces/features in each scene while im reading and its honestly so distracting. i loooove when there's an adaption i can use for reference because then the reading is easier. i thought i was the only one who had this problem!
@@TheseOddTimes Yes, and not just characters, but their surroundings are much easier to visualize if I watch the movie or show first.
Cersei's eyes are like the kind of eyes Peter Jackson be giving his elves in The Hobbit lmao
Globally I don't like the idealized way ia has portrayed them, they're all smooth and identical, I prefer the much more realistic and authentic physiques of the series.
I just love how appearance in ASOIAF really matters. It's not just for the characters to look good-looking but it's more like a signature of their blood, along with their houses and family.
Jon and Sansa's AI-made portraits strikingly resemble the actors 😱🤩🤩🤩
This made me subscribe - need more of this!
Most of these are pretty dead-on, although the one for Ned is WAY too handsome compared to his book description, which is a somewhat dour, long face. When he and Robert were childhood friends, you definitely got the impression that Robert was the one who got all the attention.
Margaery's hair is too dark and Bran looks too old.
I absolutely love the ai portraits. When I was reading the book years before the show I imagined them approximately like that. I needed quite some time to get used to the series characters' looks after years of imagining them totally different.
So aside from the show aging almost everyone up, avoiding alien eye-colors and the cast looking… well, human, pretty accurate!
(Although, it seems that quite a few of these male characters share identical facial bone-structure? I know, there are real mathematical proportions that are supposed to be more/most pleasing, but the fact that is even know should mean there’s an automatic correction-to-flaw -in-symmetry to avoid everyone appearing to be perfectly beautiful.) Ah well! Thank goodness they left the gore, filth and other stuff in!
The person who made this video did a great job! All these pictures are exactly how the book described them. The actors/actresses chosen for the series were way off.
Lena Headley is a perfect Cersei 💛
It’s funny how in some pictures the faces are flawlessly dream-like supermodel-looking faces, and then in quite a few pictures the eye on the left is significantly higher making them look derpy.
I would love to see this done for the Outlander books' characters.
A lot of the characters on here have had a HUGE glow up...where some look just about the same.
This is completely irrelevant to GoT but AI renly looks almost identical to my Dad when he was in his early 20’s. Though my father has a slightly fuller face and strikingly icey blue eyes. The eyebrows, eye shape, the nose, jaw line, dimpled chin, and most striking the thick wavy raven black hair are spot on. It’s like looking at what my dad might have dressed like if he was a feudal Prince. 😂
So basically they're all ungodly beautiful. I think the show did great casting everyone. Lena Heady is 😍😍😍
I love these. So beautiful
Cool, most of them fits a lot with the book description.
0:57 Robert ? 😳
Notice how everyone looks the same? All have regular features and are good looking.
based on the descriptions, only jon and viserys actors match their book counterparts
So, everyone is a Balenciaga model with flashlights for eyes, got it
Is that AI or a picture of Henry Cavill?
Arya first art = young Jennifer Connelly
Good call.
Why no Tyrion, Missandei, Hound, Mountain, Tywin, Tormund, Jorah, Olenna, Qyburn, Sam, Euron, Littlefinger, Varys, Ramsay, Tommen, etc. and so on, lol. Is there a part 2?
Will there be a part 2? Also HOTD?❤
All the men look like Henry cavill
You are a great storyteller. No opinionated voice, Just a simple narration. That is the key to telling a second hand story.
It’s an AI voice.
@@emtpmpknhed and it pronounced some names wrong.
Whenever I get around to reading the books (trying to wait for him to finish before i start but idk if thatll happen), I'm still going to picture the actors of the show lol
It’s difficult not to
producer did excellent job on castings
Well if cersi really looked like this you cant really blame Jaime now can you?😂😂😂
This is how I pictured the Lannisters and Baratheons looking like, based on descriptions from the books. Everyone else are too good looking in the AI imo.
Where do you find those book description figures? I would like to use them in some of my stories if you wouldn't mind.
Well done AI!!! Well done.
