Re: Everyone dies

[sarillia]

It's the Red Wedding that I really feel is overblown. Two major characters out of a large cast die, one coming back as a zombie thing later, and that's enough to cement the writer as someone who kills everyone? I mean it was shocking when I read it, but I'm glad I read it back in 2008 and not now when all the hype would have had me expecting more.

It was pretty shocking. You may be desensitized to it now, but it was kind of horrific. There was also the bit about them decapitating Rob and sewing a wolf's head on him, so yeah. I'm sure there are a lot of worse things written, but since GOT has gone mainstream, it has the capacity to horrify more people.

Re: Everyone dies

[sarillia]

If it was about the way people die, like the Rob thing you mentioned that is definitely horrific, I would understand that. It's the people who say that GRRM kills everyone that I don't get. It's not about me saying that there are more gruesome things out there. It's just that I don't think he has killed off an unusually large percentage of the cast and it confuses me when people act like he has. I'm not arguing about how horrifying any of the deaths are, just the numbers.

Maybe because he has a thing for killing off main characters? It's not necessarily a numbers game, but an impact game.

Re: Everyone dies

[sarillia]

Maybe. That just seems a little odd when combined with him also being known for doing the Cast of Thousands thing. It seems like the impact wouldn't be as big when there are so many major characters.

I'm probably the weird one here though, for pushing back on this so much. It's just that the "GRRM kills everyone" thing is all over the place and it always feels a bit off to me.

Re: Everyone dies

I agree, it's easier to kill characters when there are so many of them. However, I really don't think any of the popular characters are going to die. I don't for one moment think that Dany is going to die. Or Tyrion. For all the "anyone can die" hype, it's obvious that there are still main characters with plot armor.

Re: Everyone dies

[diet_poison]

Plot armor or popularity armor?

Re: Everyone dies

[cbrachyrhynchos]

I mean, "hard" science fiction right now has a bigger body count.

Peter Watts, neurobiology sucks and everyone dies.
Wil McCarthy, solid state physics is awesome and everyone dies.
Alastair Reynolds, posthumanity sucks and everyone dies.

Re: Everyone dies

Wow really? Cool. When did that bit happen?

Re: Everyone dies

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know if it happened at all in the TV show, but it happened at Robb Stark's wedding in the book.
