Talk:Duncan the Tall
Title
[edit]The character is referred to as Dunk only within his Dunk and Egg POV stories. He is called Duncan in AFFC and both Duncan and Duncan the Tall in TWOIAF. Since the article is written from a historical perspective (wiki depicts A Game of Thrones-Prologue as the present), shouldn't this article be moved to Duncan or Duncan the Tall?

Sun-streaked hair
[edit]It's my understanding that "sun-streaked" means hair that turns light in the sun, implying he really has dark hair. In addition the "thick mop" refers to his hair being sweaty from the heat during the summer drought in TSS and TMK. Thus it doesn't seem very accurate to open the appearance section with "has a thick mass of sun-streaked hair" considering he only appears this way at a specific time and not in THK. --Potsk (talk) 12:26, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
- You are correct about the sun-streaked, good catch. The thick mop however is something i only know as a expresion for really thick hair mostly ammassed at the top of the head, so as far as i know the thick mass part of the description is correct. --Direpupy
- "Dunk pushed his fingers through his mop of sun-streaked hair"-TSS; "ran wet fingers through his thick mop of sun-streaked hair"-TMK. A "mop" of hair generally refers to thick, shaggy or unruly hair. As Dunk finger-combs his hair, and it's also occasionally called "tangled" and that he has to push it out of his eyes, I'm going with shaggy. TSS and TMK take place in the summer, so that's how I'm qualifying the "sun-streaked" part. Feel free to edit otherwise. --Mindset (talk) 20:17, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
Summerhall
[edit]So regarding the Summerhall situation—and I brough this up on the forum thread but dropping my thoughts here too—I removed that note for now. What Dex actually said in the viral clip was rather vague, no? I believe this interview where he was asked directly about Summerhall and gives a non-committal answer is more informative? Ran's comments on the matter here, which were linked in that note. Maybe reworking the note citing the Vulture interview according to Dexter George hasn't decided what will happen but this is what the app says? Imriel (talk) 14:23, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
- I'm not sure the change is correct. The question posed to Ansell specifically concerns what would have happened to Egg, not Dunk, and in the previous interview he had already said they didn't know Egg's fate at Summerhall. In my opinion, it would be better to include both of Ansell's statements. --Somnium Draconis (talk) 15:28, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
- Works for me! Both is probably best to let people draw their own conclusions. You think we should add a link to the original video directly on the page too? Imriel (talk) 17:40, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
- Just added. --Somnium Draconis (talk) 19:09, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
