I am not a medieval weapons guy, but in real life do swords do anything get full plate? Is it you have to get it in the very gaps (would the chainmail stop it)? Or is it just you need something like a mace to blunt force them, or would something like an axe work better, or whatever other weapon.>>217642912
You'd have to find the gaps in their armour or beat their helmet with the pommel like a pseudo mace. A sword isn't going to do shit if you're just banging it against plate.>>217642092
>I have no idea why George left those two alive
Because Daemon is his favorite so all his children get to live>>217642912
When fighting full plate you want to do half sword techniques. One of the main ways is to actually turn the sword around, gripping it by the blade and using the pommel as a sort of club. half swording also allows for more powerful stabs to get into armor or more powerful bashing techniques with the hilt.

But yeah a sword is not a great weapon against armor, and you're better off with a hammer or mace.>>217642912
Yep, only a dagger up close or a poleaxe would be effective but better off ringing their bell with a bashing weapon. Axes tend to get caught in shields or armor, although you could use one as a hammer.>>217642800
GRRM's fetish for giants is just impossible to accommodate on screen. You can't find that many men who are that tall and available for multi-season shows and also have the acting skills to properly portray the characters on screen. It's easy for GRRM to just say "and Lyonel was 6 foot 8, and Ormund was 6 foot 6, and Renly was the rent of the family at 6 foot 5" but it's not a good idea for showrunners to be restricted to that>>217642204
Is this in the books or did they create it just for the show?>>217643073
>and Renly was the rent of the family
very droll>>217643073
Yeah I agree, accurate casting would be impossible. Given that Duncan Egg is a lower budget show I suppose they likely aren't paying the dude enough to spend a year juicing before shooting to put some mass on. At the very least Dunk's casting is great, I suppose he's technically way too old for the role but I think that aging Dunk up kind of works for the character, adds a sort of pathetic arrested development quality to his squireship that makes sense with the character.>>217643162
It's a complete show fabrication. It's not even hinted at in the books, where Larys and Alicent barely interact. In hindsight this was the most blaring warning that HOTD was going to be a steaming pile of shit.How is catelyn so stupid>>217643237
Anytime someone asks this question I feel we should kill 4 of their children and see if they can still think straight>>217643261
>implying anyone here has had sex>>217643261
I’d feel pretty stupid if I got 4 of my children killed, you’re right.
