We know the plot: Karl: Hallo my dispatcher said there is something wrong with deiner Kabel. Tera: Yeah common in but i don't really know what is wrong with the cable. Karl: That is why they send me. I'm an expert. Tera: The TV is in here. Tera: That is my friend Cherry. She came over to take a shower.

OK so I guess I'll defend the scene. Aemond stands up and doesn't cover himself because his brother is trying to humiliate him. He also disparages the hooker he actually has a strong bond with for the same reason. He is caught in a moment of vulnerability and has to act that way to save face with Aegon, as they have this messed up competitive relationship that's wrapped up in the politics of their positions. Did the showrunners need to show it for like 15 seconds? Probably not, but that's my read into the scene a bit more.

I have no interest in the show, but I absolutely don't give the tiniest bit of a damn if nudity and gore are in something marketed exclusively to adults. You can be a prude all you want, and you're free to encourage others not to watch the show if you think it's bad, as I would try to dissuade anyone I know from watching Hostel. But we should absolutely support ADULTS' right to make and consume whatever they want, that breaks no laws and does no physical harm to anyone. Obviously, kids should be nowhere near certain things, but that's not an issue here. Something like 96%+ of adults engage with "adult material" of some form or another, especially if you include women reading raunchy novels. Trying to convince adults, in general, they shouldn't engage with, or shouldn't be able to engage with, adult materual is a losing issue. Keeping it out of kids' hands and keeping kids uninvolved is a winning issue. Now, let's see if this comment gets deleted by y0utub3's censorious Al as seems to happen every time I engage on a serious topic.

Dude look up what Arya talks about what the mountain did in the riverlands during the war of the five Kings. In the book look up the first page of A Song of Ice and Fire and it will tell you. On the first page that Catelyn is getting her back blown out by Ned and is wondering if she'll get pregnant again. Like this is nothing new for A Song of Ice and Fire / Game of Thrones there is literally one scene in the book where Daenerys literally pipes down Kal drogo in front of his men.

i heard a youtuber named quantum of conscience suggest an interesting theory once about how there seems to be this strange trend of people attempting to destroy tolkein's legacy and bastardize his work with shows like rings of power, but shows like house of the dragon & game of thrones are allowed to have such a wide cultural appeal because game of thrones is a nihilistic deconstruction of tolkein's work and represents the exact the opposite in terms of themes & messaging, cos they dont want people to have an appreciation for the beauty, heroism and optimism that can be found in more classic/traditional fantasy stories.

I'm with you, Jon. I'm very disappointed with all these shows that make the vilian the hero. Breaking Bad where you root for a drug dealer. Son's of Anarchy where they're all drug dealers and sex traffickers. I never watched Game of Thrones because I heard about the awful things that all the characters did to each other. I draw a specific line between watching a movie and watching a series. When you watch Silence of the Lambs, you spend two hours and don't develop a relationship with Hannibal Lecter. When you watch these series you develop a relationship with the characters. For example, in Breaking Bad, where Walter's best friend is a cop, you are required to hope that Walter gets away with his crimes. Having these thoughts live in your head for weeks, months, or even years is damaging.

I don't particularly like the show because I feel it's somehwat diluted (might have been better if they condensed the material into less screen time). Also, some things aren't too believable (many things along the lines of young Jaehaerys being essentially unguarded). However, this is by far the worst rebuttal I have heard so far. Seinga scene that involved nudity for no more than a couple of seconds does not make a show pornographic. How childish are you that you are afraid of the human body?

The 'pornographic' scenes in GoT were not, to the best of my recollection, in George R.R. Martin's novels, and yeah, it's a shame they were included at the expense of material that was in the books, the exclusion of which would later come back and bite the showrunners in the ass. As for the graphic violence, in the past warfare was not constrained by the Geneva convention. I have read accounts of men being killed, and then their members being cut off and stuck in their mouths. This was an age when people were burnt alive, buried alive, hanged drawn and quartered, stretched on the rack and all other forms of brutality... and that's just in Europe.

Robert E. Howard was great. I especially like The Hour of the Dragon. I wonder if the title "House of the Dragon" was deliberately chosen to sound similar, or whether this is just a coincidence.

It’s obviously of the same mould as Game of Thrones. I actually think it’s stronger than the original show (though, for sure, it’s early days and could still fail come its last season. As for the nudity…well, that kind of thing has been in HBO shows for ages. Had such scenes been aired, say, 20 years ago, then there would be outrage - simpler, more innocent times maybe - but these days, we’ve become somewhat desensitised to such “explicitness” for good or ill. Even “young adult” shows are crammed full of sex or anything else deemed ‘edgy’. Comparing it to legendary tomes like “The Lord Of The Rings” is almost pointless: a) written in more innocent times and b) structurally (and morally) “Dragon” is a different literary beast. Explicit scenes in the show/book are “incidentals” that aren’t really integral to plot (so, yes, that’s a bad point) but - BUT - if they don’t harm the narrative and characterisations, one could argue “where’s the real harm?” (especially when, currently, television and film HAS got more “adult” in tone). Each to their own though, obviously.

The amount of nudity in some episodes can be over the top. Otherwise I would have thought that it is mostly just realism within a fantasy realm.

Just look at what was done to the Jews in camps. They were used as sex slaves and had many things done to them. I would agree that this stuff isn't "entertainment" per se, but it's mostly justifiable within the context. Nudity and sex in context is not "porn". Otherwise you can say that the sexually explicit stuff in the bible is "porn". Which in certain definitions it is... but I don't agree with those definitions. I'd also say that if people cannot see the story in Game of Thrones passed the nudity and gore, then they have an issue with nudity and gore. I don't even think it has to do with desensitization.

We shouldn't have to watch that!

I bought the books for GoT all those years ago upto the Red Wedding. After that I was out but did actually enjoy much of the tv series until the last series destroyed everything. I blamed GRRM because he didn't (and may never) finish the story. I tried HotD but only lasted one episode. I couldn't stand any of the characters. Everything seemed smokey visually and everyone seemed to mumble. This was yet another show/movie which Critical Drinker and Nerdrotic liked, but I didn't (and it seemed like it was only me... so, well done Jon for joining the crew. By the way, I've found that I disagree with CD and N on numerous things... but I still enjoy their content 🙂

Thing with GRRM that made me nope out is that he hates his audience and just wants to fuck with them.

I completely agree about the blow job bit. That was pathetic and unaceptable. And there are other scenes in early game of thrones (TV series) that i feel the same about. But apart from that, jesus man, that was such a bad take on House of the dragon, game of thrones and the song of ice and fire books. You literally dont know what you're talking about😂. I think the phrase 'stay in your lane' is applicable here.

@@JonDelArroz Mate, the books and the shows are full of incredible story telling, complex compelling characters and great beauty. You haven't seen them or read them. It's like some one saying your sci fi books are shit even though they've never read them. Pretty ignorant. And are you seriously telling me you've never loved a show that sometimes fucks up on one decision or another ? I used to think the same as you about game of thrones, then I saw the good far out wayed the gratuitous.

@@perfidious333 yep. Clearly the show's existence was making him angry before he ever saw one second of it. He just wanted to grab on to something (a cock?) that confirmed his bias.

I disagree. Best show I've seen or been interested in for a long while, it's the only tv show this year that I have any interest in. I see nothing disgusting in the show either, other than the drama, but that's the point. I don't get what's so nasty about nudity, shame over nudity is one of humanities dumbest traits.

If it was two guys going at it would you hold that same stance ? Or two fat lesbians?

Tbh, I haven't watched if, been watching Tulsa King and Yellowstone. Well I am kind of glad Elric of Melniboné was never televised series, they would trash it these days.

@@JonDelArroz What does being gay have to do with anything?

You clearly didn’t watch the scene. Or any of the other seasons. You’re clueless of the entire story or the characters & their relationships. This isn’t for children. It’s for grown adults that aren’t ashamed of their own sexuality. You’re real big on saying it’s disgusting & gross, I question why you’re so triggered by it. Maybe you shouldn’t give opinions on something you’re clueless about, you discredit yourself.

It’s so, sexified. It’s weird. But I just skip those scenes myself.

I didn’t even make it past the first season of Game of Thrones. The sex and nudity didn’t bother me, but I thought the story was boring as hell. I kept watching the first season until the season finale, because I was hoping it would get better, but it never did. I agree that it’s overrated.

it's not overrated you just lack taste.

Now I know why Shadiversity likes it 🤮

I just hope everyone complaining about this doesn't have hypocritical views of Game of Thrones

No offense man but I gotta go with the "don't like it dont watch it" approach here.

Oh man😂 how can someone be sooo prude? I guess you are never nude? You never have sex? It's normal and it is a fantasy world that's realistic and for adults

In defense of GRRM the story is very much inspired by real European medieval history where he basically took all major events and transposed them into a fantasy remix. Medieval European history was extremely crude behind the curtains. Lust, capriciousness and debouchery was definitely a thing. If that needs to be poured on top of the oversaturated culture poisoned by toxic social media degeneracy is a question worth thinking about. Deep down GRRMs work is nihilistic and rotten but it can be read as a warning since it doesn't go well for any of the protagonists. The show has nuance and isnt glorifying degenerate behavior without also showing the consequences (King Jefrey comes to mind). The nudity and brothel scenes are gratuitous for sure. It doesn't serve the story much so its clear it was done to check off the shock factor box.

Firstly, don’t do the Wall-of-text. Secondly Martin didn’t take his inspiration from history, he quite literally stole the plot of Maurice Druon’s novels and put it in a fantasy setting.

@@Br1cht not to defend the nugget gorger guy but Maurice Druon's are historical novels. So yeaaaah. GRRM "fantasy" is crude, where fantasy elements are almost nonexistent. Low magic, nonexistent magic system, a few dragons here and there, some "monsters". Other than that, its crude dark low-fantasy medieval setting. There's nothing much to do other than vote with your wallet. Don't support things you don't like.

Hard Pass...pun intended. I'm with you Jon.

Grow up mate it's a good story, this guy sounds like the most dull narrow minded bloke

No. House of Dragon is gross. I watched the first season. By the end I knew I wasn't investing another second. I wanted a dragon storyline. I didn't get one. Game of Thrones had some interesting characters. I, for one, liked the death of Danerys.

Objectifying women is evil, but objectifying men is a-okay? Double standards much? In other news Disney is going to remake that Star Wars original trilogy and in their version of Return of the Jedi Luke Skywalker will be the one wearing the gold bikini.

I can't stand grrm or his fans. He is very overrated. I liked the first season of game of thrones but immediately started disliking it when I started the books and then season 3 or 4 rolled around and i lost all interest. That being said wheel of time did have some allusions to characters being assaulted and abused but it wasn't in your face like asoiaf or got/hod.

are you okay? who hurt you.
