Tbh, if the show had let the Stark kids have that characteristic Tully red hair, contrasted with Arya and Jon’s dark hair, it would’ve made Catelyn’s hurt more apparent. Even tho we know Ned wasn’t unfaithful, it would be hard not to think Jon was his son esp since all his other kids (except Arya) had red hair.

Well if it went over your rather small head, this is a description of Cersei Lannister, someone defined by her beauty and vanity. And Mad Men has a lot of good looking people, I can take it more seriously than this show
The Cersei from the books looks like Margot Robbie. I don't know if she would have been able to convey Cersei's ambiguity as Lena. Lena was PERFECT for Cersei
Its funny how despite also being in his mid thirties, Stannis looks like he should be at least in his mid fifties. I guess a lifetime of resentment and bitterness doesn't age a man well.
Tbc they’re all described to be extremely attractive except Tyrion. Jamie is considered the most attractive bachelor in the Realm, his sister was the old most beautiful woman of the Realm and Joffrey is constantly attracting younger girls especially for his pouty pink lips.
I’ll be honest, that AI generated Cersei did not look like a mother of 3 children in the slightest. She looks like she’s never had kids, stress, education, or pain in her life. The Cersei from the show played the part perfectly, she looked like a mother who’s husband is abusive, she looked like she lost her mother as a small kid and her father has been critical of her and her siblings because they’re nobility. She doesn’t look wet behind the ears like the AI generated one lol.
"Generic"??? It be the same people as you to stand strong for the "All features are beautiful" statement... Also generic where? Not everybody have it and upturned noses ARE scientifically (mathematically) the prettiest and most perfect noses because it balances the face and works best with the bone structure and it gives the perfect front AND side profile and fits with the golden ratio which is the equation of perfection in EVERYTHING.
Alfie Allen captures the "after" Reek effect, but isn't nearly as handsome as Theon was supposed to be as shown by this AI. Would have been interesting to see it change the same picture to Reek as you said.
All the characters were aged up for the show. In the books the adults are in their late 20’s or early 30’s. People like Jon and Daenarys are only like 13-15.
@irisamanda3922 i was shocked when i learned that Joffrey was basically around the same age as Jon and Daenerys cuz they were both 13 when the series started. I always assume they were teenagers like in the show
Who I think doesn't get enough credit for their portrayal in the show is the actor who plays theon. Dude managed to portray insecurity and inferiority complexes within a human so damn good. The way of how he overcompensates, how his demeanor and tough guy act feels forced just really sells it. He isn't the toughest guy, but the guy that wants to be the toughest guy. You know the saying, the guy in the room who's the most silent is the most dangerous guy around. While theon is the guy that feels the need and urge to constantly bark and show off in order to overcompensate for his insecurities. That was so very nicely captured by his actor.
They made everybody unrealistically hot, hotter than any real person could be, and yet even purely in looks the AI Oberyn is NOTHING compared to Pedro Pascal.
Honestly the casting and costume/makeup designs on the show are very good at capturing the descriptions of characters in the books. It's clear George RR Martin had a hand in the casting of his characters.
Catelyn’s actor is an old wrinkly woman who js ugly asf. Robb and Bran dont have auburn hair and Arya isn’t beautiful nor “long faced”. Could’ve gotten literally anyone else to play Catelyn and Arya and die the others’ hair.

They messed up so many characters while streamlining / mainstreaming them to fit 'modern standards' of that time. And they casted whities for poc and after that they casted poc for clearly white characters of the books, it was really dumb. by the way, so many parts were recast and in the messed up & scatched first pilot, several main characters were played by other actors as well. so I think GRRM was just very excited to make the TV Show happen and was okay with the choices until he said the whole TV Show has it's own canon which is different from the books. I mean just think about Daario Naharis or Young Griff. Daario looks completely different than he does in the books (book version is much cooler, especially regarding Tyroshi culture / customs) and Young Griff isn't even in the show while in the books he's a big player and quite the perfect character to ever be crowned King.

My favorite was Brianne of Tarth. Most of the female characters look a little too perfect and super model-ish.. even the dark haired young male characters look too much alike and too much like fashion models.

@@thelegacyofgaming2928 "It seriously upgraded Arya"? To be fair Arya is supposed to be beautiful, she's being called that numerous times throughout the books. She was called pretty when she was little too, the bullying only came from Sansa and her friend for having longer face and not being ladylike enough. Plus most of the time she was muddy and wearing boy's clothes. She thinks she's ugly in her POVs or not good enough, but that's bc of the bullying and her horrible Septa. Even Adriana Lima said she never felt pretty because she was called ugly and too skinny lol. Same with Arya, sadly for some people (esp those who criticize themselves) nasty remarks have more weight than compliments.
@@nishaajenkins THANK YOU 😭 I honestly think this "Arya is ugly" comes from ppl who only watched the show, bc there's no way they overlooked so many parts of the books saying the contrary about her
Yeah, but I kinda love how the show shifted the aspect from loving Catelyn for her appearance to loving her for her nobility, for the value she has for a sociopath like Baelish. I like the interpretation that young Catelyn was beautiful to Petyr's eye because she meant everything to him, but that she is actually not a Margaery tier supermodel. I really love the casting of Catelyn Stark as a woman-next-door beauty, a face radiating motherly kindness, warmth, wisdom and femininity.
@@lisaerk8487 After Joffery agrees to marry Margaret. Sansa walked down the hall with a big smile of relief. Creepyfinger gets way too close. Checks her out up and down and keeps telling her how much she looks like her mother when she was young
Robb is exactly the way that I imagined he would look when I read a fan fiction story titled “Frostfyre”. In that story Robb and Margaery get married and fall for each other. I can see how handsome he would appear to Margaery, and Robb was struck by how beautiful she was.
I think we all can agree that the actors were chosen so well that they truly brought justice to the characters. (the only inconvenience were Dany s eyes,not purple in series)
They tried. Emilia could not wear the contact lenses. They could have added it in post production as they did to Vivien Leigh in Gone With the Wind, but chose not to.
Well I’m glad we still have talented casting directors because I think the show was spot on in capturing the essence of each character. CERSI couldn’t be played by any other human on earth… no matter how they look & that is pure writing/ cinematic/ acting magic!
They dont look THAT similar also "little variation" where? They still have different hair and eye colors, it the ai's problem with making almost the same face/features mold for every person based of the description of "perfect/beautiful/handsome"
I guess they say for Renly's eyes - sometimes green sometimes blue because in the books GRRM first description of his eyes is that he wears green that matches his eyes. He admitted in an interview that the green was a mistake spotted later by his colleagues. His eyes were always intended to be blue as all Baratheons. It was a fun thing to learn. George makes mistakes as well with such minor things. After all it ia a vast world he created. 😅
We need more, there are a lot of characters missing: Tyrion, Tywin, Varys, The hound, The mountain, and the list goes on and on. Night King would be amazing to see too, since it was CGIed into the series, I`d like to see if they nailed it. And also...We need....Rose!
How can someone see Arya as ugly and mistake her for a boy if it is her orginal apperance? I think she is really pretty in this video, I can even say she is as pretty as Sansa. Anyway, I think it is pretty accurate video.
Because she doesnt act and look like a noble child but one of the peasants and her features are more rough than of Sansa. But she is so often mentioned as ugly i guess it is a forshadowing of her killing Cercei as according to the witch Cercei visited as a girl her downfall will come from a younger and more beautiful.
AI made them all look completely unrealistic tho. This is like a list of the most attractive plastic people on the planet. Nobody looks like that IRL lol. I don't see even a single freckle. The women all look way younger and more beautiful than they should too. Catelyn's had a ton of kids, lived outside for decades without sunscreen, and is probably in her forties, and yet she looks like a model. When an HBO cast of attractive actors looks more attainable in comparison, you've set some really unrealistic expectations in your audience.
I do agree they've all been prettified and they've got some things wrong but to be fair the show actually made Ned and Catelyn about 15 years older than the books. They were meant to be in their mid thirties.
There's actually been a few articles of criticism towards AI art being "too pretty". It's definitely something that needs to be taken into account when they're training their models.
You must not of read the books. Ned stark is probably about 33 no older than 35 in the first book Catelyn is around the same age. Jaime and Cersei are the oldest being 39 maybe 40. Most of the people shown are also from the hugest house considered the most beautiful people in westoros especially Cersei, Catelyn, margary and Sansa. King Robert was also considered hot af in the past and are my and Gendry are supposed to look just like them. Joffrey is also considered a pretty boy in the books. And the targeryans are considered the most beautiful. A song of ice and fire is a fantasy book. The show did not include even half of the magic in the books. Most of these characters are seen as otherworldly. So these AI pics are more accurate than the show
I absolutely love the ai portraits. When I was reading the book years before the show I imagined them approximately like that. I needed quite some time to get used to the series characters' looks after years of imagining them totally different.
True, but she's supposed to be. Similar to her aunt, Lyanna. They put a fierce quality in her eyes, though (the first one). Third one was also nice (her in King's Landing, afraid, yet resilient, a depth of sorrow, yet a survivor). Arya''s my favorite character and I think they did a really good job with her beauty and complex young soul.
I don't think Arya has even been described as ugly, just plain compared to her beautiful older sister. The 'Arya horseface' nickname might just be kids being cruel.
Beautiful depictions. I love the casting choices for the show as they really balanced the descriptions with what was needed for the storyline - for example, the actress for Catelyn Stark wasn’t as young or traditionally beautiful as in the books but had a real strength conveyed in her appearance that was vital for the dramatic scenes - but enjoyed seeing what they look like according to the novels. A few even look quite similar to the actors that portrayed them. The one miss was Greyworm. If taken and castrated as a child, I find it hard to believe that he would have aged into such a stocky example that was given and imagined him more as was depicted with a leaner build.
Globally I don't like the idealized way ia has portrayed them, they're all smooth and identical, I prefer the much more realistic and authentic physiques of the series.
I just love how appearance in ASOIAF really matters. It's not just for the characters to look good-looking but it's more like a signature of their blood, along with their houses and family.
I would consider it a detrimental decision if you swapped actors from show with those smug pictures. The main function of character design (actor, acting style, hairstyle, makeup, clothing... ) is to differentiate each character from the rest. Those pictures feature too similar looking people (especially women) And in the show I only experienced weird similarity between Roose Bolton and Tywin Lannister. Though it was probably due to the fact that at times Bolton was poorly lit. Overall the quality of character designs for the show I consider very high and they never have to be 100 percent as in book. Just true to the general intention or idea.
It’s funny how in some pictures the faces are flawlessly dream-like supermodel-looking faces, and then in quite a few pictures the eye on the left is significantly higher making them look derpy.
Most of these are pretty dead-on, although the one for Ned is WAY too handsome compared to his book description, which is a somewhat dour, long face. When he and Robert were childhood friends, you definitely got the impression that Robert was the one who got all the attention.
Some of these don't even have the features you're listing. For example you say Theon's sister has a hook nose, but the images you show doesn't have one. You talk about the streaks ofnsilver on Oberyn's hair, bit there are none. That's just two of many.
The only thing I'll never understand in Hollywood is this: If a character was written with a certain color of eyes, why do they not just use contacts? They dye hair/use wigs/hair pieces, and will even go on extreme diets to fit the character, but for some reason contacts are not included?
In the case of Daenerys, I believe they tried having Emilia wear violet contact lenses but couldn't get the look right and the actors founds it uncomfortable to wear contact lenses for longer periods since they were filming for long hours. I'm not gonna lie though, I'm glad they didn't go with the book description of certain characers because they look ridiculous in the books like Daario Naharis with his blue hair and forked beard.
The person who made this video did a great job! All these pictures are exactly how the book described them. The actors/actresses chosen for the series were way off.
This is how I pictured the Lannisters and Baratheons looking like, based on descriptions from the books. Everyone else are too good looking in the AI imo.
Why no Tyrion, Missandei, Hound, Mountain, Tywin, Tormund, Jorah, Olenna, Qyburn, Sam, Euron, Littlefinger, Varys, Ramsay, Tommen, etc. and so on, lol. Is there a part 2?
It's tampting to imagine that some day, AI will be able to create an entire Game of Thrones TV series with these characters that their discriptions loyal to the books

You would never look at that ai Jon and think "a long faced, cold eyed 16 ol lad". Arya was obviously horsefaced, Melisandre had a heart shaped and on and on. Even Joffrey, he had full pouty lips that aren't in this ai version.
Was I the only one who was looking forward to see how Rhaegar looked?
I hope you do more. I want to see Olenna. Tywin, Tyrion, Missandei, Jorah, Ramsay, the giant, khal drogo, Varys,
Yeah, it would be especially interesting to see how it handles "ugly" characters (as described in the books, anyway) or monster characters.
no need to do missandei, she is already a stunning beauty
Two Words. Sandor Clegane.
Why? They would all look the same. Don't you see it's the same face? 😅😅
I don't think they could outdo Drogo. But it'd be interesting to see
AI made them all super gorgeous lol.
It seriously upgraded Arya and Brienne lol. Kind of nerfed Robb Stark
@@thelegacyofgaming2928
"It seriously upgraded Arya"? To be fair Arya is supposed to be beautiful, she's being called that numerous times throughout the books.
She was called pretty when she was little too, the bullying only came from Sansa and her friend for having longer face and not being ladylike enough.
Plus most of the time she was muddy and wearing boy's clothes. She thinks she's ugly in her POVs or not good enough, but that's bc of the bullying and her horrible Septa. Even Adriana Lima said she never felt pretty because she was called ugly and too skinny lol.
Same with Arya, sadly for some people (esp those who criticize themselves) nasty remarks have more weight than compliments.
@@nishaajenkins THANK YOU 😭 I honestly think this "Arya is ugly" comes from ppl who only watched the show, bc there's no way they overlooked so many parts of the books saying the contrary about her
Now I finally understand why Little Finger had a thing for Catelyn Stark. wow wa wiwa.
And its said that sansa will become even more beautiful then her. No wonder creepyfinger targets her. 🤢
@@lisaerk8487 Pedøfinger 🤮
Yeah, but I kinda love how the show shifted the aspect from loving Catelyn for her appearance to loving her for her nobility, for the value she has for a sociopath like Baelish. I like the interpretation that young Catelyn was beautiful to Petyr's eye because she meant everything to him, but that she is actually not a Margaery tier supermodel. I really love the casting of Catelyn Stark as a woman-next-door beauty, a face radiating motherly kindness, warmth, wisdom and femininity.
@@lisaerk8487
After Joffery agrees to marry Margaret. Sansa walked down the hall with a big smile of relief.
Creepyfinger gets way too close. Checks her out up and down and keeps telling her how much she looks like her mother when she was young
Can your Ai write Winds of winter also?
Is this how they r described in the books?
@@shahada95as it states in the title, yeah
It’s kinda crazy how much the AI Robb ended up looking like Richard Madden :o
It did look just like him and a few of the others were close too…AI probably has access to the actors etc and gets info based on them too.
Robb is exactly the way that I imagined he would look when I read a fan fiction story titled “Frostfyre”. In that story Robb and Margaery get married and fall for each other. I can see how handsome he would appear to Margaery, and Robb was struck by how beautiful she was.
Where can you find that?
@@mariah4531 I found it on a fanfic website called ‘Archive of Our Own’
@@mariah4531probably on ao3 , search on Google the titre n ship
link to the fanfiction story pls
Sauce pls
I think we all can agree that the actors were chosen so well that they truly brought justice to the characters. (the only inconvenience were Dany s eyes,not purple in series)
They tried. Emilia could not wear the contact lenses. They could have added it in post production as they did to Vivien Leigh in Gone With the Wind, but chose not to.
@@tessdurberville711 Well,at least it's not such a big problem. Her acting overcomed that🙂
@@tessdurberville711
To alter her eye color after the fact. Would be too time consuming as well as eat up the budget
they hit cersei's PIERCING eyes very well, i felt pierced
get neon contacts. That works like this
2:46 is spot-on to how I pictured Renly to look when first reading the books.
I was mesmerized
I was mesmerized
Well I’m glad we still have talented casting directors because I think the show was spot on in capturing the essence of each character. CERSI couldn’t be played by any other human on earth… no matter how they look & that is pure writing/ cinematic/ acting magic!
Totally agree. Well said!
all the women could be sisters - little variation
stfu. we dont need diversty. like what they did with the velaryans in HOTD,
They dont look THAT similar also "little variation" where? They still have different hair and eye colors, it the ai's problem with making almost the same face/features mold for every person based of the description of "perfect/beautiful/handsome"
This is one channel that I don’t mind having an AI voice. The depictions are amazing!
I agree. So well done.
They are quotes from the books.
Cersei = Westeros Barbie
Honestly, I'd love to see Euron, Ygritte, Theon again as Reek, Ramsay, Tyrion, Tywin and Jeyne Pool - Jeyne gets forgotten about so quickly...
Tyrion will be a challenger to this AI. He is described as a ugly man. But this AI tends to show everybody beautiful. 😅
@@LightCyan I have noticed this. Or, maybe you and I just aren't fussy.
Because they erased her for Sansa to give her some arc bc they didn't let Sansa be like in the books, but one of the main characters in the show
Tyrion would be interesting.
The book description was, let's say unnerving
Would love to see AI depict Dario’s goofy ass look lol
I guess they say for Renly's eyes - sometimes green sometimes blue because in the books GRRM first description of his eyes is that he wears green that matches his eyes. He admitted in an interview that the green was a mistake spotted later by his colleagues. His eyes were always intended to be blue as all Baratheons. It was a fun thing to learn. George makes mistakes as well with such minor things. After all it ia a vast world he created. 😅
I thought his eyes were teal and seemed either blue or green from different perspectives
I honestly only came here in the hope of seeing tyrion
Is it me or does the AI for Viserys, Jon and Dany seem similar to the actors?!
I noticed that too.
The second Jon photo looks like that Timothee actor guy
Jon looked more like timothee chalamet in dune tbh
Nope, Emilia looks very diferent to IA version.
@@acidobarbiturico439I see every now and then people spell AI like that, can you explain why please
We need more, there are a lot of characters missing: Tyrion, Tywin, Varys, The hound, The mountain, and the list goes on and on. Night King would be amazing to see too, since it was CGIed into the series, I`d like to see if they nailed it. And also...We need....Rose!
Young Robert Baratheon is chef's kiss!
Too idealized. Not everyone supposed to look so ideal in the books. Infact the show itself prettified a lot of characters.
Young Robert Baratheon looks a lot like Henry cavil
I would love them to do an A Song Of Ice and Fire animation with the way these characterisations look.
Bran looks like freaking Peter Pan
How can someone see Arya as ugly and mistake her for a boy if it is her orginal apperance? I think she is really pretty in this video, I can even say she is as pretty as Sansa. Anyway, I think it is pretty accurate video.
Because she doesnt act and look like a noble child but one of the peasants and her features are more rough than of Sansa. But she is so often mentioned as ugly i guess it is a forshadowing of her killing Cercei as according to the witch Cercei visited as a girl her downfall will come from a younger and more beautiful.
Hence why Tywin Lannister calls people who mistake her for a boy idiots 😂
Renly and Margery together would’ve made some beautiful kids irl
He's gay
Renly and Sansa made my mouth drops, they are way to beautiful for humanity hahah
AI made them all look completely unrealistic tho. This is like a list of the most attractive plastic people on the planet. Nobody looks like that IRL lol. I don't see even a single freckle. The women all look way younger and more beautiful than they should too. Catelyn's had a ton of kids, lived outside for decades without sunscreen, and is probably in her forties, and yet she looks like a model. When an HBO cast of attractive actors looks more attainable in comparison, you've set some really unrealistic expectations in your audience.
I do agree they've all been prettified and they've got some things wrong but to be fair the show actually made Ned and Catelyn about 15 years older than the books. They were meant to be in their mid thirties.
Did you miss the part where this video was based off of the book descriptions and not the show?
There's actually been a few articles of criticism towards AI art being "too pretty". It's definitely something that needs to be taken into account when they're training their models.
You must not of read the books. Ned stark is probably about 33 no older than 35 in the first book Catelyn is around the same age. Jaime and Cersei are the oldest being 39 maybe 40. Most of the people shown are also from the hugest house considered the most beautiful people in westoros especially Cersei, Catelyn, margary and Sansa. King Robert was also considered hot af in the past and are my and Gendry are supposed to look just like them. Joffrey is also considered a pretty boy in the books. And the targeryans are considered the most beautiful. A song of ice and fire is a fantasy book. The show did not include even half of the magic in the books. Most of these characters are seen as otherworldly. So these AI pics are more accurate than the show
@@thedban1206
It’s not based on anything, hair/eyes colors is correct but anything else is just AI generating super models.
1:10 & 2:50 Henry Cavill
3:20 Natalie Portman
4:09 Sean Connery
4:48 Tom Cruise
And 9:43 Antonio Banderas lol
8:39 Robert Pattinson
3:20 is Brie Larson
11:06 Greyworm ---Wentworth Miller from Prison Break
3:39 young Stannis looks a lot like Henry too.
Eddard actually looks similar to The actor who played Uncle Benjin. The first photo at least.
Benjen in the show is how I originally imagined Ned to look like in the books, funnily enough.
Plus the only reason why they got Shawn Bean is because he dies
Cersei's eyes are like the kind of eyes Peter Jackson be giving his elves in The Hobbit lmao
This is ridiculous because they all look alike. IA still has to learn.
I absolutely love the ai portraits. When I was reading the book years before the show I imagined them approximately like that. I needed quite some time to get used to the series characters' looks after years of imagining them totally different.
Arya looks far too beautiful here.
True, but she's supposed to be. Similar to her aunt, Lyanna. They put a fierce quality in her eyes, though (the first one). Third one was also nice (her in King's Landing, afraid, yet resilient, a depth of sorrow, yet a survivor). Arya''s my favorite character and I think they did a really good job with her beauty and complex young soul.
In the books she is
I don't think Arya has even been described as ugly, just plain compared to her beautiful older sister. The 'Arya horseface' nickname might just be kids being cruel.
I agree.
This made me subscribe - need more of this!
This is honestly how I imagine them when reading the books 😂
Beautiful depictions. I love the casting choices for the show as they really balanced the descriptions with what was needed for the storyline - for example, the actress for Catelyn Stark wasn’t as young or traditionally beautiful as in the books but had a real strength conveyed in her appearance that was vital for the dramatic scenes - but enjoyed seeing what they look like according to the novels. A few even look quite similar to the actors that portrayed them. The one miss was Greyworm. If taken and castrated as a child, I find it hard to believe that he would have aged into such a stocky example that was given and imagined him more as was depicted with a leaner build.
More likely to run to fat; they got castrated before their hormones set in. The voices were also far too deep.
They needed an older actress when they cast a 25 year old as her son
The only one more beautiful than the AI version is Pedro Pascal.
mong
Globally I don't like the idealized way ia has portrayed them, they're all smooth and identical, I prefer the much more realistic and authentic physiques of the series.
Brienne looks a little bit like if someone tried to make Toni Collette look brutal
Wow. They all are like I imagine them in the book. Great job, AI. People forget often they were kids in the books
at 1:33 Robert Baratheon looks like an older version of the TV series' Robb Stark
Was wondering to see what Theon as Reek would look like…
Jon and Sansa's AI-made portraits strikingly resemble the actors 😱🤩🤩🤩
I just love how appearance in ASOIAF really matters. It's not just for the characters to look good-looking but it's more like a signature of their blood, along with their houses and family.
The AI looks like it should work for the CW network. All them look like models.
based on the descriptions, only jon and viserys actors match their book counterparts
Is that AI or a picture of Henry Cavill?
Cool, most of them fits a lot with the book description.
I would consider it a detrimental decision if you swapped actors from show with those smug pictures. The main function of character design (actor, acting style, hairstyle, makeup, clothing... ) is to differentiate each character from the rest. Those pictures feature too similar looking people (especially women) And in the show I only experienced weird similarity between Roose Bolton and Tywin Lannister. Though it was probably due to the fact that at times Bolton was poorly lit.
Overall the quality of character designs for the show I consider very high and they never have to be 100 percent as in book. Just true to the general intention or idea.
It’s funny how in some pictures the faces are flawlessly dream-like supermodel-looking faces, and then in quite a few pictures the eye on the left is significantly higher making them look derpy.
Damn I wanted to see what the dragons would look like
Yes! Accurate to the books images of the dragons would be great.
Well based on how the rest of the cast looked like with AI, the dragons would've looked like Playboy models.
Most of these are pretty dead-on, although the one for Ned is WAY too handsome compared to his book description, which is a somewhat dour, long face. When he and Robert were childhood friends, you definitely got the impression that Robert was the one who got all the attention.
Margaery's hair is too dark and Bran looks too old.
All the men look like Henry cavill
Some of these don't even have the features you're listing. For example you say Theon's sister has a hook nose, but the images you show doesn't have one. You talk about the streaks ofnsilver on Oberyn's hair, bit there are none. That's just two of many.
I love these. So beautiful
The only thing I'll never understand in Hollywood is this: If a character was written with a certain color of eyes, why do they not just use contacts? They dye hair/use wigs/hair pieces, and will even go on extreme diets to fit the character, but for some reason contacts are not included?
In the case of Daenerys, I believe they tried having Emilia wear violet contact lenses but couldn't get the look right and the actors founds it uncomfortable to wear contact lenses for longer periods since they were filming for long hours.
I'm not gonna lie though, I'm glad they didn't go with the book description of certain characers because they look ridiculous in the books like Daario Naharis with his blue hair and forked beard.
Will there be a part 2? Also HOTD?❤
Arya first art = young Jennifer Connelly
Good call.
A little more, and we would have seen the pretty Night King.
😂
Well done AI!!! Well done.
Jaime’s actor is the only one who’s hotter than ai version
and Oberyn’s
Notice how everyone looks the same? All have regular features and are good looking.
10:31 This is, actually, Emilia Clark
The person who made this video did a great job! All these pictures are exactly how the book described them. The actors/actresses chosen for the series were way off.
Lena Headley is a perfect Cersei 💛
This is how I pictured the Lannisters and Baratheons looking like, based on descriptions from the books. Everyone else are too good looking in the AI imo.
Why no Tyrion, Missandei, Hound, Mountain, Tywin, Tormund, Jorah, Olenna, Qyburn, Sam, Euron, Littlefinger, Varys, Ramsay, Tommen, etc. and so on, lol. Is there a part 2?
08:43, was that John Snow the actor doing an interview in front of the camera? But seriously, this was awesome. I love AI sometimes.
Good to see that Papi Pedro alone is hotter than their respective AI generated gods!
Rob was the only one more handsome irl
So, everyone is a Balenciaga model with flashlights for eyes, got it
A lot of the characters on here have had a HUGE glow up...where some look just about the same.
It's tampting to imagine that some day, AI will be able to create an entire Game of Thrones TV series with these characters that their discriptions loyal to the books
AI Joffrey looks like one of those caracters that gives off the they can be changed vibes in a CW teen drama lmaoo
Where do you find those book description figures? I would like to use them in some of my stories if you wouldn't mind.
Alright I get it, they were all basically medieval and devilishly beautiful in the books
