Honestly, Rick Rolling is the best practical joke ever. Like, there’s nothing offensive or mean spirited about it. It’s just like “Oops you thought there would be something else here but it’s ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’.” which isn’t even a bad song. It’s fairly enjoyable to listen to. There’s no jumpscares, no screaming, no ill will. Just Rick Astley telling you he’s never going to give you up. I think that’s great. “You fell into my trap! Here, listen to this completely benign song that will have no negative effect on you.”
Hello, is it not strange that daenerys never think bad of jon arryn? He was the man who started the rebellion, afterall. Thank you
I don’t think it’s particularly odd. We know from an intellectual standpoint that Jon Arryn’s decision to refuse Aerys’ demand for his wards’ heads, followed by his calling his banners, was the true beginning of Robert’s Rebellion, but I doubt this is what Viserys would have taught Daenerys. After all, he himself was only maybe six when the Rebellion began, too young to comprehend the complex and decades-old political foundation of the war: as I said in my essay “The Dragon’s Shadow”, what information would have trickled down to the prince would doubtless have been filtered by his mother and caretakers, simplified for his young understanding into a tale of the good House Targaryen and those no-good-very-bad rebels. While Jon Arryn was actively involved in the war, fighting at Gulltown and the Trident, he was not so public a face, or had so memorable a story, as others in the Rebellion. Robert was Lyanna’s betrothed, Rhaegar’s slayer, and a hugely charismatic and powerful warrior; Eddard was Lyanna’s own brother, the leader of the rebel forces at the Sack of King’s Landing, a devastating blow to House Targaryen; Jaime was the Kingslayer, the treacherous son of treacherous Lord Tywin. Jon Arryn simply did not have the same sort of “villainous” anti-Targaryen story that little Viserys could remember and then pass down to his baby sister.
“To draw out that humor, Jenkins gave Pine and Gadot a lot of opportunity to improvise. In one scene (boat scene) the two share a boat ride back to man’s world where they reveal their initial chemistry — and provide a lot of hints to the overall tone of the film. Gadot and Pine ad-libbed the entire scene. Pine loved it, especially since it highlighted Gadot’s surprisingly good improve skills.
“She has to be the straight woman, that’s the harder part,” Pine says. “She’s delivering lines like ‘My father is Zeus’ — s— that is just so ridiculous. And she has to say it with a straight face, with a certain amount of innocence and earnestness. I get to react like any human being would to hearing something as ridiculous as that. So I had easy.”
