    Zavvi does not make slips that can compare with premium retailers like Weet, HDZeta, etc. so if that's your expectation that you're probably going to be disappointed. To me Zavvi is in the space between mass market and premium along with outfits like Arrow, ToC, and Second Sight. If I see a steelbook I like for $35 but I can also get a version with slip & goodies for $50, then usually I go for the $50 one since the difference is not much. In this case, even if the slip isn't that great I'd like to have the book, so for me it's worth it. YMMV!

     

    Have to agree, I have 2 zavvi slips and they are just "ok" not in the same league as Nova, HDzeta Manta etc and light years away from the masters Plain Archive. That said they are better than the first wave of Blu-fans slips. The original phase 1 Marvel slips were just awful, folded card, no sealed edges and the lenti effects were just terrible, really cheap looking in every way, yet at the time everyone was in love haha! Zavvi slips are basic but well made "ish"

     

    All that said this is a really nice steel but not a patch on the original which was one of the top 10 most out there steels ever made, its truly a work of art.

    Big yikes. Why does it matter if they change the color of his skin? Him being white in the books has literally no impact on the story. What matters is that hes velaryon and of valerian descent, both of which are still true. 

     

    Or does the simple fact of having black people on screen offend you? Maybe the issue here lies with you and your prejudice rather than the actual story. 

     

    They can change the age of a character(rhaenyra), the hair color(rhaenys), the eye color(every targaryen), the relationships between characters (rhaenyra & alicent) but skin color is where you draw the line? Kinda weird

    It matters! You don't change important characters the way they were written end of! 

     

    You'd be perfectly happy if Shaft, Blade, Black Panthers colour was changed?

    That's kind of the point. Real life conflict isnt always good guys and bad guys, it's people making the decisions they think are right

     

     

     Are you high? or forgot GoT? lol Real life isn't entertaining, if I want real life I'll live it. This is TV fantasy fiction, and just like any show they need characters you care about or its utterly worthless to watch! GoT had Arya, Tyrion etc and even from the first few episodes, characters to enjoy. This was just bad, if every character died in ep 2 I wouldn't be bothered.

     

    As for woke, House Targaryen is white/blonde hair, fair skin, but good old HBO made Corlys Velaryon a rasta with white dreads! It's already confirmed how much they have ruined Rings Of Power and upset fans with this garbage.

  4. Watched the first episode and it was ok, but nothing great. Not one single character you could root for. It's definitely not up to Game of Thrones first ep. The woke touches here and there were also annoying. I will watch the next few and see if it gets better, but so far it hasn't grabbed me.

    So if I'm understanding this correctly the collectors edition will have a different steelbook? 

     

    As the listing on the collectors edition says "All new limited Collector's Steelbook Edition"

     

    It will be the exact same steelbook, Zavvi just offer a slipped version of the same steel. There is only one WWA version as normal for a Marvel release.
