    But yeah, I'm sure the regular human of above average skill will be fine.

      Real bookheads know that Arthur Dayne could maybe take Aragorn but Jamie is a chump.

    Yeah, this is where any semblance of respect for GRRM died for me.

    The show fucking sucked and his books aren't even close to finished after decades so why bother even engaging with him at all? And he still has the audacity to try to repeatedly dunk on Tolkien the GOAT when he can't even finish one story? FINISH YOUR FUCKING BOOKS, GEORGE, AND FINISH THEM WELL. Then we'll see if you can talk a little shit. But we all know he won't.
