the show is based on 3 short stories, this first season was the first one, and the second one is imo the best, so the next season should be even better

>dim witted
while definitely a bit slow, the man nonetheless has the "commoner wisdom" aplenty, and a decency that clearly lacks in the upper classes, which makes him very sympathetic. Only a commoner like him that learned chivalry from a jaded hedge knight can both recognize the story of lords and knights being honorable as obviously false, and still buy into it by applying chivalric principles himself

I also like that you see why the baratheon rebellion was successful: nobody really likes the targaryen, they're still perceived as foreign invaders with regularly cruel crazy lunatics in power, and without the actual dragons to enforce their rule they're very reliant on the big regional power lords which have plenty of rivalries among themselves.
The second season will expand a bit on the latest targaryen civil war where ser arlan lost his nephew (leading to him taking dunk as a squire as replacement and becoming a hedge knight out of grief), while still being grounded in the day to day of dunk

it's so fucked up how the show makes you root for dany

monarchist's kid, who have their "birthright" stolen

The Seven Kingdoms was promised to her 300 years ago

The Targ conquest of the seven kingdoms was historically progressive. Hang all maesters, exterminate the aristocrats, elevate the common folk.

It would have been almost perfect (and I say this very seldom) if it wasn't for the shit, fart and dick jokes. I don't know why they had Dunk catapulting feces in the fucking opening scene.

I guess it's the medieval reality of constantly having a stomach bug and having to shit under trees, but did we really need to have this in the opening scene before playing elevating music?
>It has almost none of the grimness and politicking that were the staple of the original series
There is politicking, just more subtle. The scenes in which petty nobles talk shit about the Targs were enjoyable foreshadowing.

Absolutely manufactured drama tbh. People blew shit way out of proportion.

The Michael Kovach drama was people taking a stupid joke from years ago and harassing him into 'apoligizing'. Really he should have just ignored it, but apologizing gave these retards ammunition.

Then Gooseworx said on a livestream a while ago that Jax and Pomni are the main characters of TADC and thus will get the most amount of screen time/character development, and she doesn’t get why some fans are mad about that when it’s been clear from the beginning. Some people on Twitter/Bluesky had meltdowns over this statement, but not really directed at Goose for the most part. Some time after that stream, Goose was talking to some fans on a TADC subreddit, and while she did receive a few rude comments, most of them were pretty respectful. The same day, she deactivated her Reddit account. She also made a Bluesky post saying something like, “I’m sorry if I upset anyone with the things I said recently, I’m just trying to do my best.” This led to a bunch of people believing she was bullied off of Reddit by an angry mob of toxic fans. YouTubers started making “drama” videos about it like crazy, and fans starting sending a huge outpouring of supportive messages to Goose while also going on witch-hunts for these so-called “toxic fans.” Goose had to clarify that none of that actually happened, she’s just going through some personal mental health issues atm and it had nothing to do with what anyone said to her online. She deactivated her account because she just needs to get offline and take time to herself to heal away from social media. And she also posted something along the lines of, “I don’t want a personal appreciation week for having a public crash-out online. It makes me uncomfortable.” She just wanted everyone to leave her alone, basically. Even the positive attention was too much for her.

>the average fan is a barely functional human being, even the normie ones, literally a bunch of autists and/or (wo)manchildren obsessing over pop culture
You're not contradicting me. The average "fan" is part of a fandom. One can be a fan of a work without being involved in the 'community'

Nobody knows what happened to Hitler’s suicide pistol.

even the works of Homer have morally gray villains. It's a trope as old as the written language.

Villains are the trope actually. An antagonist does not need to be le heckin bad, they're just an obstacle to the protagonist. You're too Marvel/videogame/abrahamic brainrotten.

>>47612
good point, here, have an upvote.

>>47611
Good and evil was not yet a literary device in Homer.
There were no "villains" per se.
The idea of a villain is in the personification of evil (e.g. the devil), which is a later cultural product, such as Mara or Satan.

I was thinking about making a thread for Toki Pona myself recently. I haven't been able to study it much, but I absolutely adore writing it using sitelen pona. Is there anyway to type in sitelen pona on leftypol?

>I was thinking about making a thread for Toki Pona myself recently.
jasima a! tenpo suno pi mute lili la mi wile pali e lipu ni. mi li awen pali ala e ni la ken la sina li pali e ni. mi pali ala e ni.
What a coincidence! I thought about it one week ago and I was delaying it so maybe if I delayed it further you would have been first…

>but I absolutely adore writing it using sitelen pona.
lon. sitelen pona li musi mute. sitelen suli "pi" "ala" "anu" "kepeken" "tawa" "lon" "sama" "tan" li namako e musi mute.
yeah, sitelen pona is so much fun. specially with elongated pi, ala, anu and prepositions.

>Is there anyway to type in sitelen pona on leftypol?
sitelen pona is not on the unicode (only in UCSUR), so it is not included in fonts, so nobody has a font with sitelen pona, so it would be senseless to try it. and leftypol doesn't provide a sitelen pona font either. so i guess you could post an image and provide the alt text.

alt text: sitelen pona li lon ma Unicote ala. ni la sitelen pona li lon linja sitelen ala. ni la jan ala li ken lukin e sitelen pona kepeken ilo nanpa ona. ni la sitelen pi toki pona pi ma Leftypol li tan ala. ma Leftypol li kekepekn linja pi toki pona ala. taso mi la sina ken pana e sitelen pi sitelen pi toki pona sama lipu ni. sina ken pana e toki sitelen kin. ni la pona tawa jan pi lukin lili anu ala tawa jan pi ilo pi toki taso pi sitelen ala.

>What a coincidence! I thought about it one week ago and I was delaying it so maybe if I delayed it further you would have been first…
Yeah, I was wondering if there were any other people interested in Toki Pona on leftypol. Now I know!

>specially with elongated pi, ala, anu and prepositions.
I didn't know that these words had elongated versions! I've only just started ti imagine modifications to the glyphs for my own purposes. One such thing that I've been doing is changing the positions of the clock hands for the "tenpo" glyph to reflect the time that's being spoken about.

>(i only started one month ago so my toki pona is still a bit bad)
Anon, I haven't even finished Wasona yet. You're leagues ahead of me already.

Mmm, this made me wonder if there someone ever made conlangs in the USSR or any other sociallst state.

ni li pona. ken la mi ni kin. sina ante e sitelen ante anu seme?
That's sounds interesting, I might adopt it for my personal writings. Do you have more things like this?

>I haven't even finished Wasona yet

When you do and you get good would you like to translate communist theory? I have tried but many things are complicated to translate (maybe they're easy when in context I don't know):

Peak Review

So what's going on lately in the world of marvel and dc

>>47110
Marvel - Hiterlite cringe stuff in cap book as usual

Spider-man #1000 coming up, MJ is Venom

Thor is a mortal again with amensia and uses a sling and hammer as his weapons (Peak by Ewing)

X-Men, same old same old

DC is killing it with Absolute line
Marvel's Ultimate line is coming to an end, other than Ultimates, nothing has been consistently good

>>47110
Absolute is okay-to-good, everything else is crap.
Begging people to read non-Big 2 stuff, the medium needs to be set free.

>planting potatoes on someone else's property is better than owning your own plot of land because of eminent domain
you know that eminent domain (usually) means you get compensated for your land, right? also check out the permaculture thread, which is really just a gardening thread >>33648

>>47043
I'd do sunchokes/Jerusalem Artichokes. Similar to potatoes in that they produce tubers but they grow like weeds, spread aggressively, have edible foliage and is native to much of the US. They need full sun so forests might not be the ideal growing location but they get tall so you can plant it in overgrown areas and it will compete for light just fine. They're sunflowers and lesser known so they might fly under people's radar even if spotted

>>47528
use a preexisting game engine

don't listen to the person above me, game engines are too limiting, you should use a framework instead. preferably one based around c++, or even just c. actually, forget that, you should just program everything on assembly like the guy who made rollercoster tycoon

jokes aside i think godot is the best engine for beginners. unity was/is going through an enshitfication process and unreal is just too much bloat
