When it comes to book-to-screen properties, the more popular the literary source material becomes, the tougher it’ll be to satisfy readers’ imaginations of how characters look in the screen adaptation. Readers of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series have no doubt noticed that HBO’s Game of Thrones has taken some creative license when it comes to characters’ appearances, so here’s what your favorite Westerosians would look like if they more closely matched the author’s imagination…

How'd we do? Did we leave any descriptions out?
In other word's the book it's a mix of HP with anime
Westerosians?
This could've been done in 4 minutes instead of 18
I think the film adaptation of how the characters look did a better job than the books. Their appearances fit the story better.
"The scars are on the wrong side."
Its just like avatar play in the second to last episode where zukos burn mark is on the wrong side on the acter
I think anyone ugly enough and good at acting enough to play Ramsay; were probably also smart enough to forsee the personal attacks enraged fans would unleash, on his social medias.
"Westerosians"? Uhum, Westerosi.
what are the differences of Ser Pounce?
What triggers me about jaimies hair is that it changed color in between seasons
Lol uncle benjin looks like qui gon jinn to me
Wow. They're all more beautiful than the should be. 😞
Pretty sure it was noted that Emilia Clark had an adverse reaction to the contacts iirc.
You know that characters in books are very often overdrawn?
A character's look in a book has another meaning than in a film.
So every character just has the eye color and hair color/length wrong? Who cares?
what the fuck is he on about?? gwendoline christie is perferct as the description, she looks very masculine and ain't no looker either
I really hate when eye color is picked on. Most colored contacts, especially unnatural colors, are extremely uncomfortable and I'll fitting. That makes it very easy for our favorite actors to get multiple eye infections.
This video is way too long ☠️
they all look far to weak as well.
Is this Dexter manning lmao ?
I think the changes are what works better for television. You have to make changes when adapting. A great many of the book descriptions would look sorta silly against the more serious tone. Gotta have a good balance, and I think the show found that in its compromises.
when tom cruise can play jack reacher then any thing is possible ( never going to work if you have read the books)
I hate bran and sansa so much
much better on screen xDD
Some of these things they are being really picky about, especially when they talk about baldness. Lol
Most importantly, Sandor Clegane is not so old in the books. It changes the dynamic between him and Sansa, truly.
heitch BE OH
The Hound's scars are actually on his right side in the books but when it's e.g. Sansa's POV and she talks about them, OF COURSE they're on HER left side.
What about Daenerys' eyebrows? I haven't read the books, no idea if they're supposed to be such a contrast to her Barnet. But if I was Drogo or Snow, I'd get her to sort them out, Mother of Dragons or not.
What I'm getting from most of this is… they clearly didn't make most of the cast nearly "ugly" and/or "awkward" enough to match their book counterparts. Half the cast weren't bald or old looking enough, a good group were too old, and dentistry is in fact a dedicated medical practice in the tv series. Copious use of dyes was necessary along with hair curlers, and there was a dearth of colored contacts all across the land. Clearly no one knows what do with their beards and even the fat people weren't fat enough.
poor sansa…
8:39 Omf look how young he is
3:19 didn't they try to use contacts for purple eyes but ended up throwing them out because they hurt Emilia Clarke's eyes?
I haven't been read that book so i don't mind. And i satisfied with casting.
Э вы че по нерссуки пиздите, ахуели чтоли в край, как я должен смотреть? мм? сука. Like
I think what it comes down to is that the book readers are so stubborn that they can't accept an adaptation of their precious book series
I think the cast is perfect
so everybody was supposed to be ugly?
Brienne, Gregor, and Tyrion have the excuse that their characters are already at the extremes of human looks, so selecting an exceptional actor who has a close enough physical shape is an achievement. Peter Dinklage keeps Tyrion likable (and he was GRRM's choice), Hafthor Bjornsson is physically imposing enough to be Gregor, and Gwendoline Christie is one of the few women bulky enough to be Brienne.
Also, I find it silly that they changed Asha because of Osha, yet left Bran/Bronn/Brienne alone.
literally stole this video wtf
The fact that Maisie Williams went through all the extra work to learn to fight and do her choreography with her left hand even though she is right-handed is something that should've garnered a mention.
