    This guy is easily the best interviewer, besides Zach Galifinakis in B/W 2 ferns of course, that I've ever seen. He's funny and he can talk to any type of personality. they all seem to like him and feel comfortable, which is uncommon with actors...

    Lol she's a Greyjoy. What do you think? They don't have times for ribbons and appliying make-up. It's a dark, humid and salty place. They live on ships. Mud, water and wind is what's in store. So no, she's not doll-ified in the tv show. Which is good.
    Asha in the tv show has definitely a look of intelligence and dare I say of menacing undertone that suits the character very well. I love it.

    In the books, Greyjoys are generally all black haired and handsome, so I always imagined actors of Slovenian, Croatian or Serbian origin. There would be perhaps better option, but all haters, shut up. Seriously. She's a good actress, good viking pirate girl, so GTFO.

    • @JordoF6
      @JordoF6 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      FalconRS Those nationalities wouldn't make any sense at all nor are those nationalities better looking than any other european ones. The greyjoys are a cultural real world mix of Vikings and Irish people the Irish of which have dark hair generally so there is no problem in that department also those people are darker skinned than western and northern europeans the ironborn are from a cold dampy Island and islands that match Britain and Ireland and their skin would be particularly white as is shown in the show.

    As GRRM himself said in interviews, casting an actor doesn't mean they have to be exactly like the way it is described in the books, when he wrote Tyrion, he always had Peter Dinklage in mind to play Tyrion - he said it was more about performance than anything else. I find Gemma's portrayal of Yara to be brilliant, a strong character - and it isn't just producers, GRRM is heavily involved in casting decisions too and approves of every actor brought in for roles that he'd written.

    Personally when I imagine Asha, Gemma isn't the person I'd think off but that's just my opinion as many other people who have read the books will have their own image of Asha.
    She's very good in the show, or the amount I've seen of her so far and can't wait for more

  • @Nate9-9
    @Nate9-9 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    That's a good point, but they also changed the name of Cleos Frey to Alton Lannister, and changed the name Jeyne Westerling to Talisa. Also everything about her is different from that character from the book, if you read the books carefullly.

  • @LinkinPhoenix007
    @LinkinPhoenix007 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Alton and Talisa were made to be completely different characters though, even if they fit similar roles. Yara is effectively the same person as Asha though, and the name was indeed changed to prevent confusion with Osha - same as how Robert Arryn is called Robin in the tv show.

    in the books Theon's sister name is ASHA but in the TV series its YARA
    they changed it so Asha will not be confused with Osha the wildling woman Robb/Theon caught during that Bran scene

  • @CaptainPikeachu
    @CaptainPikeachu 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    There is a difference in saying that you aren't attracted to someone and referring to them as "ugly" - considering someone unattractive to you is an opinion for which you are more than entitled, but when you refer to that person as ugly, that is an insult to which it is sickening in every way and I am perfectly within my rights to state my opinion on that comment

  • @Voxnulla
    @Voxnulla 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    A low centre of gravity would make roller-skating more difficult. This is because it's harder to adjust for balance due to less inertia compared to a tall roller skater.
    This can be imagined by picturing a roller skater as an up-side-down pendulum. A long pendulum has a slow momentum and a short one is fast.

    I saw her in one man two guvnors - the entire time I was trying to figure out why she was so familiar!

  • @CaptainPikeachu
    @CaptainPikeachu 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    The show does her perfect justice by showing her as a strong female character who can command respect despite being in a man's world and being brought up a warrior - it is incredibly insulting when you make comments like "pretty people becoming uglier" - Gemma is beautiful and the fact that you refer to her as ugly is rather sickening. Not everything is all about appearance and shallow features, casting actors is about looking at the performance and GRRM thought of Gemma as great in the role.

    @bitteoszillierensie 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    They wanted to avoid people confusing her with the wildling Osha. Considering the numerous plots, family trees, houses, banners, the vast number of secondary and tertiary characters, locations and 'fake history', they thought THIS was the point where people might get confused. Go figure..

  • @SanctreMalleus
    @SanctreMalleus 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    let me but in as i like to do in these convos. The actor that portrays Yara/Asha looks essentially how she is described in the books. She isn't described as a drop dead beauty in the books, and even then she is described as more masculine and attractive in a gruff more tomboyish manner. Unfortunately it seems reality just can beat imagined beauty, granted nothing seems to beat peoples preconceived imaginations about the attractiveness of book characters.

  • @S2Tubes

    @arbootieoaks 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think she's really good actually, and I am a huge Asha fan. The writing for Yara in the show was not very strong with the exception of one scene near the end of season 2. She doesn't look at all like how I imagine Asha but that's not her fault. So there's that, but I think she's a great actress.

    Still don't understand why they changed Asha to Yara though! I mean, it's not confusing in the books, how can it be confusing in the series where you actually see what the characters look like? Not that it bothers me that much, only that I was confused when "Yara" appeared in the series and I was like, where the hell is Asha!

  • @AnahSkywalker

  • @Ienthill
    @Ienthill 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yeah whatever. I'm complaining that they completely changed the personality and appearance of a POV character for no reason. I don't care about them changing details like Bronn being commander of the Goldcloaks instead of Jacelyn Bywater, because that's understandable. Asha looking and behaving like a chav instead of a tomboy heiress of a Great House isn't.

    I wonder if there's any black people in GOT. Cause presumably the show depicts a story that happens in the dark/ middle Age where black people were not smuggled to Europe just yet. If they did put black people into the show to attract a more diversified demographic, then they should put Indians, Chinese and Latino in as well. Just like Harry Potter.

    Being a pirate is fun. Asha is fun, she dances the finger dance, has her "husband" and "suckling babe", and teases every man she encounters. Victarion is fun, he invents new methods of human sacrifice and shoots crossbows at monkeys. Hell, even Euron is fun, in a black metal S&M kinda way.
    Yara isn't fun, she's dull and grim.
    And again, I have nothing against Gemma - she has the exact kind of looks and personality I imagined Asha having. But the writers changed that for some reason.
