Line 460:
* [[Explicit Content]]: The sex scenes in the series tend toward the explicit, though often they're [[Fan Disservice|intentionally un-arousing]], so that the word ''porn'' seems a bit inappropriate.
* [[Expy]]: The Brotherhood Without Banners is, to some extent, an [[Expy]] of Robin Hood's Merry Men. Though they're not an exact match-up, there are a few analogues like an archer (Robin/Anguy), a jolly priest (Friar Tuck/Thoros of Myr), a singer (Alan-a-Dale/Tom Sevenstrings), a feisty noblewoman (Maid Marian/ {{spoiler|Catelyn Stark}}), and a guy named for his colorful cloak (Will Scarlet/Lem Lemoncloak). They are an extremely cynical interpretation, however, as it becomes increasingly evident by ''A Feast For Crows'' that they have gone from protectors of the smallfolk to just plain old bandits and the ones that haven't have become [[Knight Templar|Knight Templars out for revenge against the Lannisters and Freys]]
** Also, Sam Tarly is a tribute to Sam Gamgee from ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''.
* [[Eyepatch of Power]]: Euron Greyjoy wears an eyepatch over his mysterious "Crow's Eye."
* [[Facial Horror]]
