I think GRRM would declare Ser Pounce the winner in a match against Kratos.

I freaking love ASOIAF, but this guy talks way too much crap sometimes.

Yeah, this is where any semblance of respect for GRRM died for me.

The show fucking sucked and his books aren't even close to finished after decades so why bother even engaging with him at all? And he still has the audacity to try to repeatedly dunk on Tolkien the GOAT when he can't even finish one story? FINISH YOUR FUCKING BOOKS, GEORGE, AND FINISH THEM WELL. Then we'll see if you can talk a little shit. But we all know he won't.

>fights off 5 ringwraiths while protecting a gang of hobbits
>kills like a hundred magically engineered supersoldiers so hobbits can cross a river
>kills an unreasonable number more at Helm's Deep
>beats up an actual ghost
>just one of those supersoldiers could easily kill like 10 regular humans, but here he is again just mowing them down
>charges the entirety of mordor on foot: survives

But yeah, I'm sure the regular human of above average skill will be fine.

Okay but Arwen was kind of stepsister to Aragorn too

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Not a stepsister but Arwen was a much, much older ~~cousin~~ aunt.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

No, not at all. Neither of them shared a parent. They're technically cousins, but the amount of generations between Arwen's uncle and Aragorn make the familial link not matter at all

Stepsister, Aragorn was raised in Rivendel and Elrond was closest to a father figure

Raised by and adopted by are two different things. You can raise someone and not have them considered as your child. Not to mention the whole definition of a step sibling is sharing one parent, adoption doesn't make you a step sibling

You’re thinking of half sibling. Step sibling is when someone’s mom marries someone else’s dad. No relation.

Yeah GRRM thinks too much of his characters, he wrote a match between Jaime Lannister and Rand Al'thor, and Jaime won. Absolutely ridiculous a guy who can wield magic that can burn people out of time vs a guy with a sword.

Also a guy who reality shapes itself around and therefore doesn't really lose.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Also he has the memories of hundreds of years of training in the sword.

Some guy with one hand who fucks his own sister.

Now, Aragorn vs Dassem Ultor could be an interesting fight.

In Deep Geek covered this, and I'll take Roberts opinion on it over GRR Martins.
