No offence, but that throne looks really tacky. Plus it's like unnecesarily large, it'd make shooting scenes and moving to and from it look really odd, I think.

[(Anonymous)]

The throne is supposed to be large and menacing. It is also supposed to be horribly uncomfortable to get into and sit in. The show one doesn't do any of that.

[(Anonymous)]

Huh, didn't know that... Unfortunately now I have the image of Snow or someone tripping halfway up the steps and face planting in front of the entire court;; Though I would say the throne of the show is intimidating in it's own way, with all it's pointy bits?
(obviously I haven't watched GoT)

That's what it's supposed to look like.

The Throne itself is described as having steps. It's not supposed to be comfortable. It's supposed to make reclining hard, with jagged metal on the back, because 'kings should not rest easy'. People cut themselves on it (and a king's tendency to do this is supposed to indicate they aren't worthy of sitting on it -- Aerys, in his madness, had cuts on his hands and arms from the throne and Maegor the Cruel was said to have been killed by it), it's plot significant that it happens. It's supposed to be a hideous, asymmetrical monstrosity.

The TV show throne is even lampshaded as such by ... I think it was Littlefinger and Varys? Where they discuss the fact that legend says it was made with over a thousand surrendered swords of Aegon the Conqueror's enemies, but one (I think it's Littlefinger?) points out that there aren't even two hundred.

It made sense to take it down a notch, they did it with literally everything else, and at least the show version is iconic looking, but I'd love to have seen the horrible dragon-forged thing of the books.

While it doesn't exactly make things right, at least they lampshaded it;; And what better way to keep people from dethroning you by making said throne notoriously uncomfortable...

[(Anonymous)]

you know, i keep seeing a person commenting with the unspaced;; after like half of their statements and it makes it pretty obvious which comments are all yours

just saying

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I've been told that before. It doesn't really bother me tbh, but thanks for letting me know;;? I'm sure I've seen other people do it every once in a while too, maybe, possibly?

Honestly the show version seems a lot more plausible to me as a throne that is actually used. The book version sounds like something a ruler would come up with because it sounded cool, and then after a week tops of sitting on the thing, he'd come up with some super symbolic reason why it should only be used for coronations and demand a normal chair for everything else.

Plot significant in the books, but little to none of that made it into the show anyway.
