第五季終於來啦~
兩大奇幻文學作者 魔戒VS冰與火之歌
Brace yourself!
出自冰與火之歌最有名的台詞Brace yourselves, winter is coming.
Gather up your trolls and your soldier Elves!
And your Ents and your Orcs and your Wargs and your Stings
Your Dwarves and Glamdrings
一口氣提到了魔戒中的各種種族與武器
troll(山怪) Elves(精靈) Ents(樹人) Orcs(獸人) Wargs(座狼) Stings(比爾博的武器)
Dwarves(矮人) Glamdrings(甘道夫的武器)
My readers fall in love with every character I've written
Then I kill 'em (Aaaahhhh!) They're like 'No! He didn't!'
喬治馬丁很愛把讀者喜愛的角色賜死
All your bad guys die, and your good guys survive!
We can tell what's gonna happen by page and age five!
喬治馬丁說托爾金作品壞人死光，好人存活，劇情根本超簡單超無聊
Tell your all-seeing eye to find some sex in your movies
all-seeing eye指索倫的魔眼。權力的遊戲劇中一堆歐派跟床戲
There’s edgier plots in that David the Gnome
David the Gnome是以花園小精靈為主角的兒童動畫
Kings, queens, dragons, dwarves
Horses, fortresses, magic and swords
You Hob-bit my whole shit, you uninspired hack
托爾金細數喬治馬丁"致敬"他的地方
國王 皇后 龍 矮人 馬 堡壘 劍與魔法
Hob-bit取bit(偷)和Hobbit的雙關
You want a war, George? Welcome to Shire-raq!
Shire-raq取Shire(夏爾，哈比人故鄉)與Iraq(伊拉克)
而發動伊拉克戰爭的也叫喬治(小布希)
In book sales you’ve got nothing to say
I’m number one and two, you’re under Fifty Shades of Grey
魔戒與哈比人是暢銷榜一二名，而冰與火之歌還賣輸格雷的五十道陰影
You’re a pirate, you even stole my "R. R."
托爾金與喬治馬丁的中間名都是"R. R."，"R. R."也是海盜常說的狀聲詞
I’ll cut you like my teeth on Beauty and the Beast
喬治馬丁早期寫過美女與野獸的電視劇劇本
We don’t need the backstory on every fucking tre
托爾金的作品都有大量的背景設定
From a dude who sends a raven to say "Hi" to his toes
raven是冰與火之歌中的信使，托爾金指喬治馬丁胖到看不見腳趾頭
Man, your fat jokes are worse than your pipe smoke
托爾金有重度菸斗菸癮
C. S. Lewis and I were just discussing
納尼亞傳奇的作者C.S.路易斯是托爾金的死黨
Got my children making millions off my Silmarillions
Silmarillions(精靈寶鑽)為托爾金更加拓展魔戒世界觀的作品，死後由他兒子出版
And I’m more rock and roll than you’ve ever been
Don’t believe me? Ask Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin是魔戒的大粉絲樂團，有許多受魔戒啟發的歌曲
You can’t reach this Fellow, shit, I’m Two Towering
(Ooh) Every time I battle, it’s Return of the King
雙關魔戒電影二部曲與三部曲的片名"The Two Towers"&"return of the king"
