I love both shows, as do most people I know. So no, it doesn't make me think.

LotR is about light vs dark and Judeo Christian values.

Asoiaf is pretty much the opposite of that.

Thats a really stupid take. They included that cause it takes inspiration from periods of human history when that was the norm and was actually somewhat mainstream til not that long ago. And even the character who was supposed to marry the kid did not like the idea. I dont think anybody today feels comfortable with that maybe for the exception of actual pedophiles.

Incest was incredibly common amongst political elite and royal families in ancient and medieval times, especially for rulers who believed they were divine. A big inspiration for the Targaryens is clearly the Ptolemies Dynasty in Egypt as well, and they were obsessed with keeping their bloodline pure and marrying family members.

It's truly bizarre how this type of "if you like media that depicts x you must like x" type of anti-intellectualism has resurged among the younger generations. It's a bad sign for our future.

Explain how his statement was wrong? It is pretty much objective truth that HotD respects Martin's vision more than RoP respects Tolkien's. This might be partly because Martin is involved somewhat but still this is a fact.

I have also watched both series back to back for the last couple weeks, and the dialogue is soooooo much better in HotD.

That said, I am enjoying RoP, but that was a true statement.

I'm laughing at the lore. Some fat creep can't stop writing about raping thirteen year olds and child brides/grooms etc it's just gross.

As none of that describes what has happened so far, you haven't watched it. Gotcha.
