Valar Morghulis!

 

Welcome to the seven kinglands of Westeros, once united by Aegon the conqueror from Targaryen, first of his name, king of Andalen and first people and protectors of the empire; Later, usurpator Robert Baratheon successfully claimed. It is a world in which summer and winter can take years, dark and cold winter that spread across the country from the north. There, beyond the wall, which is protected by the night watch, the white hikers should live - but for most mere legend, because nobody has seen them for thousands of years.

 

game of Thrones Based on the still unsuccessful series of novels, the song of ice and fire by George R. R. Martin, who was inspired by the wars in his story about the war of the five kings, who follows the death of King Robert Baratheon. Between 1455 and 1485 the Adelshäuser York (their coat of arms showed a white rose) and Lancaster (whose coat of arms showed a red rose) bitterly for the English succession of the throne. Both houses were entitled to King Edward III. Back, since they were both branches of the nobility of the plantation set. The conflict ended with the fact that the Lancasters' throne present, Henry Tudor, Elizabeth of York married and founded the Tudor house as Henry VII. Incidentally, the story about his son Henry VIII is told in the TV series the Tudors, which is warmly recommended to every fan of Martin's fantasy epic. Here, too, Natalie Dormer (Margaery Tyrell) plays a seductively beautiful queen: Anne Boleyn. Incidentally, the similarity of names of Lancaster and Lannister is no coincidence.

 

The proximity to real historical events and the associated credibility of the song of ice and fire are certainly one of the reasons why the novels and the series based on it are not only so incredibly popular with fantasy fans and serial junkies. At least as long as the novels served as a template, emerged game of Thrones through a small, yet extremely exciting storytelling. Even though the series started to let this be missed from episode 6.10 because a certain author did not come behind with his novels and wanted to finish certain showrunner, the later episodes are still worth seeing. But yes, unfortunately a certain drop of bitterness remains for all nerds and geeks that had fully engaged to the series, especially since we all have to fear that we will never see the final volumes of the series of novels.

 

A big plus of game of Thrones However, it will always remain. The basically completely unnecessary sex scenes? no The ruthless violence? To say it with Ron Weasley: You urgently have to rethink your priorities. Of course, we are talking about the detailed representations of the often ambivalent characters who are looking for their same in film & TV. Yes, there are also some comparable films & series here, but they are rare. Certainly the world of Westeros has to offer figures that are clearly falling into the category of sadistic pondering. But even disgusting disgusting packages such as Ramsay Bolton or Joffrey Baratheon are more than superficial villains, but multi -layered characters. However, really noble personalities are more difficult in game of Thrones To find and when you have found it, that's why they often lose their heads or are murdered in a similar way as Julius Caesar once. But it is important that those who play, win or die the game, and at least those who want to get into the game and survive manage to keep a nobles. Margaery has long started Cersei without letting herself down to her level and what was? Bumm! Septe Futsch and all of Cerseis enemies too. Daenerys became a prime example of "You Either Die A Hero, Or You Live Long Enough to See Yourself Become the Villain." Theon proves: But it also works. But had had game of Thrones to offer true heroes? Yes, one and it holds the gate forever. Probably the most ambivalent and most polarizing character is and remains Lord Petyr "Kleinfinger" Baelish. Is it a ceased little weasel that cannot be trusted as far as Rickon runs in a zigzag? Yes. But there are also good reasons for his actions, When you consider that Jon Arryn's alliance policy only robbed him of the love of his life and Brandon then publicly humiliated him publicly, with Petyr barely with his life. He realized that the big houses are despotic autocrat So destroyed her fights for more and more power. So he decided to give them something of their own medicine and thus triggered the events of the series in the first place. Yes, it was not just Robert's unrequited love for Lyanna, who founded the events of the series, But also Petyr's love for Catelyn. Common denominator: Jon Arryn.

 

The oversized success of the game of Thrones Of course, the series was not without consequences. In the meantime, film freaks also hoped for a movie that should complete the series, which was rejected by HBO. However, various has been working with Martin for some time game of Thrones Spin-offs. The first of which is already in progress: House of the Dragon. A series about the long night with Naomi Watts in the leading role was unfortunately canceled early. But also in the Merchandise area, a lot has happened over the years. There are common fan articles such as posters or clothing in the form of T-shirts and caps with the coat of arms of the favorite house, but also all sorts of objects from the film as replicas and fashionable accessories. In general, the coats of arms of the houses emerge on all possible merch from cups and notebooks to pockets and lamps. There is hardly anything that does not look at the shadow wolf of the Starks, the lion of the Lannisters or the dragon of the Targaryens. Unfortunately, the statues of the main characters have become rare, which not even covered half of the protagonists and antagonists before the series and statue production were set. Common articles are also available after the series ended. You can also find a lot of it in yvolve Shop.
