Title: Game of Thrones - Season 8 - 4/14/2019
Post by: Sharpe on March 08, 2019, 03:24:46 pm
The release date for the final Season of Game of Thrones soon approaches us. What is everyone's predictions as to what happens? What do you personally want to happen?

I'll be happy if Cersei dies, and Brienne+Tormund have big ugly children together.

A lot of strong female characters do strong female things. We'll have strong elite female warriors, dexterous elite female warriors, cunning elite female leaders, charismatic elite female leaders, and the ending will be female.

"Obviously, I wished I finished these books sooner so the show hadn't gotten ahead of me," he said. "I never anticipated that."

"It's not the end for me. I'm still deeply in it. I better live a long time because I have a lot of work left to do." In addition to The Winds of Winter, a seventh novel--A Promise of Spring--was previously announced.

9 years and still no 7th book plus another one after it and people criticize TW for Bannerlord taking so long lol. yeah he better live a long time.

ASOIAF is such a shitty book series to read. You have to re-read it like five times to remember what happened before each new book comes out. Or, well, realistically, the series is never going to finish. Last book took six years. This one's going to be at nine years soon. Martin'll be dead before the last book comes out. Not even mentioning how ridiculous it is to wait twenty years for two books.

My death predictions: Sandor & Gregor, Jamie, Tyrion, Jon Gay, That fat guy ugly from the iron islands.. Euron I think?, Jorah and probably that other fuckboy too

Sandor and Jon Snow already "died" and I'm not sure if the directors want to pull that off again.
Jon, Danaerys and Tyrion are kind of the main characters of the series plus most people love them, so I assume they will survive, although I would be very glad to see Dany die, since currently she is the #1 irritating character in the series for me.

Sandor killed so many innocent people, cant imagine him getting off with it. Jon hung the little boy which will eventually lead to his death too, you know, social justice and stuff. I feel it.
Also the people liked Robb, Eddard, Oberyn and most Tyrells, and they all got killed and that what makes the show so I dont see too much reason not getting them killed.

LOL the show is apparently now pretending that Sansa Stark is "highly intelligent." She's so fucking unbearably childish and smug and every single decision of hers has been straight retarded. But now the show is definitely going to give her some 2000 IQ foresight powers because they've foreshadowed her "smartust persun ever" thing with Arya.

6/10 on the first ep. Pretty meh. A few scenes I enjoyed.

Sansa has always been pretty helpless being stuck in situations her character had no control over. She did save winterfell getting the knights of the vale to ride over.

6/10 on the first ep. Pretty meh. A few scenes I enjoyed.

Sansa has always been pretty helpless being stuck in situations her character had no control over. She did save winterfell getting the knights of the vale to ride over.
She got her brother killed, almost got Jon killed (only survived by luck (and plot armor)), got thousands of men on Jon's side killed. All because she didn't tell Jon about the knights of the Vale. So no, the knights of the Vale thing is not to her credit, it's the ultimate proof of what a retarded character she is. Especially since Sansa was, as always, childishly whining about Jon's plan before the battle, and whining that nobody ever listens to her, and then Jon literally asks her for a better alternative, because he can't see any, and Sansa just pouts and says nothing.

Overall the episode was decent enough as the first one, the main problem with it is that the pacing was too slow considering we just watched 1/6th of the last season.

But Sansa's stupidity during the battle has triggered me before, so I searched and:

I've been slowly going through the above video and it paints D&D in a worse and worse light

"Why doesn't Sansa tell Jon Snow about the Vale army?"

"Many post-ep reviews openly baffled at this. The moderator at their subsequent SDCC 2016 panel even directly asked. D&D stayed silent, & Sophie openly said she didn't know, & just guessed it was to be "Dramatically Satisfying".

Which is hilarious, Sophie doesn't even know why her character is doing something, how is she supposed to act properly?

I didn't even remember this. Jesus fucking Christ. DRAMATICALLY SATISFYING? Nobody fucking knows why she was silent about it?! Awesome writing.

And you, James, thought she was supposed to come off as not knowing what she's doing. But no, she's the most intelligent person in Westeros.

If it ends up being a straight white male who ends up on the throne I think that would be the biggest shock in the history of TV.

Seriously, yet another episode where all the men spend their entire time being subservient to women, then some grill-power scenes with the two smug bitches, and then five minutes dedicated to a pointless scene that was literally only about showing that little girls can be brave and want to fight, too., not to mention the "why can't women be knights???" scene. Jesus Christ.

This show is so fucking ham-fisted about it all it's a hundred times worse than it could be. I'll eat my hat if Jon Snow, "the last male heir", ends up as king. The show's just going to use him to show that no, despite being male, it doesn't mean you get to rule.

Have you noticed that most of the male, if not all, heroes are submissive as fuck?

You have Jon Snow who is one of the greatest fighters, ex commander of the nights watch, acting like a pet dog of danny.

You have the fat scribe, who must be the most submissive motherfucker I have ever seen on a tv show.

You have the no balls motherfucker ready to cry when he kisses the servant girl.

You have Mormornt who is still in love with Danny, ready to die at any given chance.

You have the KingSlayer , who after 6 seasons of being the baddest motherfucker on westeros, is now acting like a puppy, suddenly driven by the love he has for a fucking tranny.

Yeah ok we get, love is strong bla bla bla, can we get a fucking show without this love bullshit?

Think about it, every major TV show/movie that went viral has the love about a woman bullshit in it.

It feels like that every major thing thats happens is hollywood is for the women & the lgbqt community.

"My people are peaceful, they cannot protect themselves"

This conversation makes no sense to me. Ah well, with these plans for the future they'll be dead anyway, or maybe the only two non-white named characters will end up on the throne.

The guy from "Battle of the Bastards" is directing the next episode, yay, I'm sure the battle will make a lot of sense. Should've gotten the guy from the loot train napalm battle instead.

Miguel Sapochnik - Hardhome, Battle of the Bastards (BotB started off with Mereen battle too), and the upcoming Winterfell battle. He's directing the 5th episode so probably another battle.

Neil Marshall - Wall battle

Matt Shakman - Caravan battle

This conversation makes no sense to me. Ah well, with these plans for the future they'll be dead anyway, or maybe the only two non-white named characters will end up on the throne.

The guy from "Battle of the Bastards" is directing the next episode, yay, I'm sure the battle will make a lot of sense. Should've gotten the guy from the loot train napalm battle instead.
I don't think you can blame the director too much for the Battle of the Bastards. There was this whole thing, a documentary or something (?), where the director talks about just how unreasonable the demands and time frames D&D gave him were, and how their requests kept changing, etc. D&D sound extremely incompetent every time I hear about them doing something. But I bet the director had way more time and funds now to do as he pleases with the battle, so we'll see.

And yes, that conversation was fucking weird. Also the next line, "my people aren't, we will protect you" presumes that all the Unsullied will go there with them??? Like what the fuck? Is the entire Unsullied army just going to abandon Daenerys to go on a vacation with their commander and his love interest? And then STAY there to protect the people of Naath? From who? What's going ON with these writers?

I just hope for another episode showing white people being dirty racists to their saviors, women discussing how men are SO easy to manipulate and how well they've done despite all the evil sexism, little girls showing that they can be brave warriors too (two scenes like that like last episode pls), barbarians inventing feminism and demonstrating Women Can Be Knights Too, and, most of all, I DEFINITELY do not want to see a single man who isn't subservient to women. Please Game of Thrones, you've done so well so far, don't introduce a man with his balls still attached. Oh and if we can have some more Daenerys Mary Sue moments in the battle that'd be swell. Not that I have to request that, it's a given.

I also like how Brienne of Tarth is in charge of one flank of the army, despite never commanding anyone in her life, and there being no indication of her even knowing anything about warfare. They have men there who've commanded armies in multiple wars, but alas, they're, well, men.

Fucking hell this show's gone downhill so much in the past 3-4 seasons it's actually incredible.

I think that Tyrion will have the solution of how to defeat the WW, since he was the only one to actually listen to what Bran has to say.

Yeah, that is what you get when you introduce superpowers, you have to explain the limitations, otherwise not utilizing them to their fullest is just a glaring plothole. It could be pretty easy, maybe accessing events that involve the Night King are a massive risk since he is clearly some counter-greenseer that is aware of Bran, maybe Bran can only access events of which he knows when and where exactly they happened. Both reasonable explanations, but you gotta state these things.

I still have hopes that GRRM had a great ending in mind early in the process of writing, clearly he got lost in the plot himself, but he had some long range lines set up. Maybe the show writers have some great idea from GRRM's notes to work with and I will somehow be astonished and satisfied by the ending. Part of me fears that GRRM did not really get beyond the "Ice and Fire" being Jon and Dany thing and there is nothing left in his notes. The entire Night King is already a bit of a lackluster final villain for a show that had many great morally complex characters. So far he is just a force of evil, like Sauron, he just wants to turn the world to shit, okay riveting.

Simply whatever I liked GoT for (didn't read books) vanished throughout seasons and ended up being classic TV series with shit tied to it: love stories and strong women to attract female viewers (both are series ruining things in all cases of TV series/movies I watched), characters that either don't die at all even in unrealistic scenarios or characters that die with their "mission" accomplished, sudden death became a rare thing: small finger death as a result of 2 strong females outsmarting one of the smartest GoT characters was a moment when I wanted to stop watching it lol.

Having a boring Sauron-wanna-be would be fine if it was just a plot device, a means to make other interesting things happen. But the way they went about it is awful, everyone got together too easily with none of the good early season GoT drama, and the far bigger focus has been the battle with the Sauron-wanna-be rather than the human nuance of the other side. The entire Ice King arc has been so shittily executed, for 8 seasons he barely even existed, no one cared about him, then in a couple of episodes everyone just bands together and decides to fight him. Very abrupt and very unsatisfying.

Going from a grey story, to black and white kill evil bad man you just inevitably lose something. Is this really the best that couldve been written? How about houses using white walkers for their gain somehow etc. Somehow weave it in into the politics. Nah fuk dat, our super heroes have to band together to beat the super villain, and can then settle their differences as they struggle together and form friendships. In the aftermath they decide that war is unecessary, and together they build a kingdom on rainbows and happiness.

I can pretty much guarantee that once the books reach the same point in the story, they're going to handle it infinitely better, and it won't just be a stupid LOTR helm's deep imitation. So it's not that the Others suck as a plot device, it's that D&D suck.

But if he is just a force of evil and they beat him how is anything afterwords going to make sense and not be lackluster and dull? If they can beat a force of evil what threat will Cersai actually pose in the following 3 episodes thats greater than the others? And it seems pretty stupid that all the NK is after is Bran just because he has the worlds history in his memories. It takes GRRM 9-10 years to write a book seems like a pretty lame arc if thats all he is a one dimensional bad guy especially when it takes him so long to finish a book and the human bad guys are not one dimensional.

Yeah they definitely made it seem at first as if the majority of the characters fighting in the field outside winterfell were gonna be dead. Quite a few cut away shots that seemed impossible to survive. The night time + blizzard combination also made for a bit of a clusterfuck in terms of telling what was happening.

That  being said I was pretty damn entertained and was on the edge of my seat waiting to see who would survive. 8/10 for me.

An absolutely awful Game of Thrones episode, but if you ignore what the show has been in the past and could have been with good directors/writers, it was pretty good.

However, that ending was fucking stupid. One of the most anti-climatic endings ever, with Arya magically teleporting past hundreds of undead after failing to sneak past a few in a library. Not to mention how anti-climatic of an ending that was for the Night King arc. This is the ultimate threat for like 5 seasons, the Mega Bad Guy, unstoppable, etc., etc. And what happens? He just instantly dies, as does his entire army, with no explanation for his motives, no spoken dialogue, no telepathic conversation with Bran, absolutely nothing. Big threat, then just gone from one dagger stab. Plot over. Completely rushed and unsatisfying, pretty much exactly what I expected from them leaving this many plots unresolved so late into the last season. Up until the final moment, I was actually kind of interested to see what would happen in the next episodes, what with the Good Guys being defeated so thoroughly, but nah. The Night King held the Idiot Ball (I was expecting Bran to stab him because he decided to slowly walk right in front of him, but instead he decided to rape choke Arya to earn his death) and that was that.

Then we have the absolutely ridiculous plot armor of all the main characters. About fifteen people survive, all the main characters, and we only lose a couple mostly meaningless side characters as well. I was hoping to see at least one or two random, shit-luck deaths in the battle outside the castle, you know, show that battle is chaotic and not all that much fun, but nope, the show is a clichéd traditional fantasy show now.

Other dumb things include:

- What the actual fuck was that use of cavalry? They literally couldn't have utilized the cavalry worse. Let's just put all of it in front of our infantry, then blindly charge them into the night, so that even in the best case scenario our cavalry and infantry fight an entirely separate battle, and the cavalry never gets to do what it does best, charge at flanks.
- The battle formation, what was going on with all these undisturbed, organized, untouched Unsullied formations while everyone else was panicking and running away? Did they just have the Unsullied sit back and relax while having some random peasants fight in the front lines?
- That little Mormont girl killing the giant was so stupid and cliche it was cringy. I think everyone knew exactly what would happen when the giant, for reasons best known to itself, decided to lift her right next to his eye so that her 5 inch arm and 1 inch knife could reach his eye and instantly kill him.
- Arya acting like a scared little girl in the library suddenly, that was just weirdly out of character. She'd just got done killing dozens of the undead effortlessly, then she's acting like it's a horror movie and she's a defenseless little girl.
- The entire battle plan made absolutely no sense. They knew the Night King can raise the undead, yet their plan did nothing to take that into account. They didn't try to burn the dead, they were happy to (and planning to...) abandon their positions in the open and retreat, thus giving the Night King even more soldiers... and they seemingly didn't account for that at all. Why didn't they build fortifications outside the castle if they couldn't all fit inside? They had plenty of wood from the nearby forest. Yet they just chose to stand there, then run away. Why didn't they build a ton of fires everywhere? Bonfires every 5 meters with torches next to them, ready to be used both as weapons and to burn the dead? SOMETHING like that?
- They were putting all their eggs in the "kill the Night King" basket, yet had no actual plan to do so. Their assassin task force consisted of Daenerys and Jon. Why, when it was so important? Imagine if you had, say, thousands of the finest cavalry in the known world. You could form a dozen hundred-strong groups that were ready to react wherever the Night King turned up, and try to kill him. At a minimum. Oh, but they had a redundancy, you say. They had Theon Greyjoy and a couple seamen protecting Bran, and they knew the Night King wanted him. Brilliant. The greatest warrior in all the lands, Theon Greyjoy! In a place that, if the Night King reached it, would mean the castle would be overrun anyway and Theon would have no chance of doing shit. Not that he could beat the Night King in a 1v1 anyway.
- Arya, their elite assassin, had NO ROLE WHATSOEVER, she was just chilling on the battlements. They needed an epic scene with Melisandre to make her realize that, hey, maybe it'd be a great idea for her to go to Bran to try to kill the Night King.

In other words, all the planning in the episode was the kind of shit that no actual semi-intelligent human would come up with and think "yeah, this is good." Because the show right now is mainstream and the writers cant write intelligent characters (https://yudkowsky.tumblr.com/writing) that seem like they have an actual inner life instead of just being cheap 2D cardboard cut-outs that the writers use to move from one cliche to another.

- How did Jorah Mormont teleport outside the castle to save Daenerys? The walls were lost, there were a dozen defenders left alive, fighting for their life against thousands of undead. How did Jorah get outside? How did Jorah know Daenerys was in trouble? Where did Jorah learn teleportation? Did Varys teach it to him?
- I want to underline again how stupid and against everything GoT used to be it is for all the main characters to survive 50 hopeless situations like that when literally everyone dies. That was, dare I say it, some superhero movie shit.
- Obviously the only reason things lasted as long as they did, and it looked even remotely plausible for the main characters to survive, is because of the plot armor and the undead tsunami thinning into retarded 3-4 undead at a time whenever there was a main character nearby. They were constantly in situations where they were surrounded by practically infinite undead, yet they inexplicably always end up only fighting a few, even if everyone else is dead. The length of the battle made no sense.
- Awful choreography/cinematography. Nonstop cuts and fog and snow and darkness.
- Siege engines in front of the infantry.... ?

Other than though the episode was visually pleasing and a fun watch.

4.5/5 stars.  :)

They overran the crypt, ran around in the main castle and some library, in the courtyard etc, 15 minutes later they're still fighting Jaime outside the walls? Doesnt make any sense. It literally seemed like everyone had died yet no one really did, and by the "next episode" bit we can see there's still a bunch of unsullied and other soldiers around. The only part I genuinely liked was the 5 minute montage in the end of everyone getting fucked and when it felt like Night king was gonna do some cool shit but then arya ninja'd him and now everythings great and solved

Didn't look at that, they're doing this retarded Battle of the Bastards crap again? Just like in BoB, where it was obvious from what happened and what was shown that at least 99% of Jon's men died, yet in the next episodes he still has an army, inexplicably. I guess just like in BoB, Dany's surviving army at Winterfell had better things to do than fight the end-of-the-world undead army. Maybe they were sleeping off their hang over, or whoring in the next town over.

Another potentially interesting thing ruined then it seems, would've been interesting to see how Daenerys & co handle Cersei now that they have no army whatsoever.  Well, "interesting", because the writers would make it fucking gay no doubt, but still, more interesting.

I was so disappointed. I mean, I guess they forgot about all the symbols and the origins and the azor ahai prophecy and the bran connection and went with “ninja girl stab evil blue man”


Surprised that even the subreddit seems pretty full of people disappointed with this shit, usually it's just fanboys squeeing over the "bad ass moments."

Although reading more, it seems like a TON of people were disappointed with the episode, comments about how bad it was have thousands of upvotes. Of course, lots of people are also saying it's the best TV they've ever seen, and GoT just became legendary and the best thing since sliced bread, etc.

r/ASOIAF is also, unsurprisingly, far more critical of the show than the main subreddit filled with WOAH DRAGUN FIRE normies, some good threads raising some good points:

Pretty much all of this. The entire episode had no set up for anything, just fight happens, and concludes about as abruptly. No clever plot of "oh we have to sneak and take out the leaders while the army fights, its our only bet" making use of the main characters. Really no hope at all, its just us waiting for whatever plot device the writers decide to put in at the end to finish up the mess. No Frodo and Sam slowly making their way to destroy the ring, while the others fight an seemingly indestructible enemy. Bran or whatever the autistic boy in the wheelchair doesnt do shit, he was the only thing that couldve been some kind of set up, even though we had no fucking idea what he was doing when he did the thing. But no, he just sits there, and then Arya does the thing. We get not hints as to whats going to happen, it just happens.

The 3 first episodes so far couldve been 1 episode and had the same amount of content.
Title: Re: Game of Thrones - Season 8 - 4/14/2019

Yeah the comparison to LOTR is pretty good. LOTR did it properly, GoT just.... well, none of it made any sense, it was completely random and abrupt with no planning from the characters behind it. There was no emotional pay off, no connection, no suspense. Just Arya randomly teleporting past hundreds of undead and white walkers and insta-killing the Night King.

And btw D&D decided to make Arya the one to kill the NK 3 years ago, because they figured it'd be cool and "unexpected". Azor Ahai and the prophecies don't matter apparently LOL. It's a perfect example of how they've raped the lore and the setting just for "coolness" factor. Like one guy on the subreddit says, "Terrible Strategy but cool shot is the definition of D&D's writing."

Also quote from them:

"We had Lyanna kill a giant because, even though at the beginning of this we didn't plan her to go anywhere until we felt she should, for the good of the show, she's now one of the strongest little characters so it'd be nice to have her kill one of the strongest big characters."

Literally the worst possible writers for a show like GoT.

Also: Bran's character and story arc has been completely meaningless. He's done nothing at all. Everything about him and his abilities was pointless.

Just like 99% of the show's plots that D&D took from GRRM. Just a few more of those:

Quote
Why did the white walkers particularly decide to come south now after 8000 years?

Who built the wall, and why was it seen as necessary to exile the others and separate them, rather than say, destroy them? What happened back in the long night to make that the solution they came up with?

"There must always be a stark in Winterfell." Must there?

Did we expect any resolution on the horn of joramun?

Why was craster sacrificing kids to the Others, and what was the nature of that arrangement? Why did they need / want his babies to turn into walkers, and why did they seem to do so so sparingly?

Benjen was some kind of half undead creature, clearly blending him together with coldhands. What's the explanation for what he was?!

I literally can't imagine the state of mind required to scream and fist pump and shout and cry at the TV screen like that over a show. It looks like it's the best moment of their lives for those people (and if recycling cliches is enough to get your audience to react like that, then recycling cliches is the thing to do for the showrunners, which is why I think it's so awful.) How is it possible to get that excited over something like GoT? And I see so many people in the comment section, and on reddit, talking about how much they screamed, etc. It's just so bizarre to me.

On the other hand, good for them, I guess. I too would like it if I was able to get an excitement orgasm over putting on my microwave or opening the fridge, or watching some telly.

This was way worse than I dared to expect. No twist, trucks full of plot armor, only Edd, Beric and Jorah dying(?), no Azor Azai, no noteworthy Lord of Light, no Bran plot whatsoever, no magic protection in the crypts or other Stark lore, they forgot they had Ghost in the episode, no clear effect of Valyrian steel and obsidian, "godly assassin murdering entire families" Arya being a massive pussy, Night King being completely uninteresting and dying like a wet fart.

It looked good, some parts of the battle was well done, but good action movies like John Wick still bore me, and so did this. I'll be watching the rest of the show at 1.5x speed just to get through it. Scrolling through some quotes from D&D make it clear I was a fool for expecting anything more once the source material ran out, they are complete idiots who should have been kept far away from a franchise like this.

When you dont have to worry about the basic stuff, like food and shelter, you start worrying about things that dont matter, like GoT for example.

Modern life has made most people soft and acting like retards for minor stuff.

I cringed so hard watching the video, I had to close it.

Fucking yuppies...

This episode was pathetic on so many levels and I'd love to write an essay on it, but Xant already mentioned pretty much everything I wanted to say.

I feel like they picked up 8 seasons of white walkers lore and just fucking flushed it down the toilet. What was the point of it all? I thought that was the main fucking plot of the entire series and this is how it all ends? To reiterate Dave, I feel robbed.

And what's the point of Bran? He hasn't done anything, he just went for a nap for the entire duration of the battle. Why was everything so dark and foggy? I couldn't see shit.

This is all so incomprehensibly stupid.

Why. Literally why, on earth, are nearly all the main characters alive ? Why isn't the prophecy of Azor Ahai a thing ? Why would the nk raise undeads after they've been killed by dragonglass/valyrian steel ? Why do they use light cavalry to charge directly, in the dark, toward a far, far superior enemy ? While the 3rd episode had some great, aesthetically pleasing plans (ex : the trenches lighting up, the plan where the dragons are between the clouds, the dothraki charge to name a few), so many things make no sense. Many times in the episode, you could see characters (Theon, Daenerys, Jon Snow) getting swarmed by enemies, yet they always were in a 1v1 in the next plan. Like some others said, the show is nothing more but a 6/10 at this point, compared to the 11/10 at the very start.

Oh, and we learned nothing about the night king, but who fucking cares, he's dead haha, right ? What a fucking waste.

IKR I swear I saw Sam with like 4-5 wights on him with he on his back when Snow ran by looked at him wishing he could help but ran by, but when it all ended he was safe and sound. He got Edd killed because he refused to go down to the crypts like Jon wanted because "he killed the first wight with dragonglass" by luck mind you but was out there all scared and stuff. Edd stops to help him off his back and dies for it.

One thing not a lot of people mention is how much the DIALOGUE has regressed as well. When they were still using GRRM's lines there was some great dialogue, the characters even spoke differently, now everyone talks like a modern American and the dialogue is extremely simplistic and sit-com like.

Logical deaths that didn't happen:

Drogon dying to wights, Daenerys dying with Jorah to them later on.
Rhaegal dying to Viserion mid-flight.
Night King .in 1v1 (or at least killing him by sacrificing Khaleesi like in prophecy)
Sam dying to wights right after the scene when Jon left him hanging.
Mormont girl dying like a girl without killing anyone.
Jorah Mormont dying with dotrakis like a fool.
Grey Worm dying with the rest of unsullied outside of the walls defending retreating men.
Brienne of Tarth dying in the fight against wights or alternatively a giant so that Tormund tries to save her.
Sansa and Tyrion committing suicide with the given dagger.
Tormund dying like Lyanna Mormont (killing a giant seconds before dying to traumas caused by it)
Sir Davos dying saving a girl with a scar from fire.
Arya dying saving Sandor Clegane from fire.
Mellisandre dying exploding herself with a huge fire and taking some white walkers.
Bran dying from being useless.
Arya dying while trying to kill white walkers with white walker face.

etc

I expected at least 10 characters to die and the whole outcome of the battle makes the 2nd episode even more meaningless (not to say 7 previous seasons lol).

When I first heard about feminist lobby in GoT series I was like "haha, really?", but now I'm at the point where it is so obvious that it's annoying. All the male characters were super useless, stupid and miserable:

Jorah Mormont charged with dotrakis like retard and wasted them all for nothing.
Grey Worm just fed whitewalkers with more unsullied and was about to betray them by leaving them to death.
Bran was literally useless, what a joke.
Sandor Clegane was scared and afraid to fight.
Jon Snow not doing shit the whole episode as well, randomly flying and being a casual random fighter.
etc

Now look at female characters:
Daenerys being a brave girl that helped a lot with her dragon and dismounted Night King.
Mellisandre firing things here and there
Lyanna Mormont even being a useless girl - still killed a giant like a strong independent woman.
Arya - killed the fucking Night King like a boss.

Of course, it's not even a question anymore. As if it wasn't obvious enough before, watching the "inside the episode" for this episode really drove the point home. They gave the Mormont girl (literally the least likely character in the show to survive more than 1 second in the battle) and Jorah heroic Disney deaths. Literally teleporting Jorah out of the castle against all logic so that they could give him "the death that he would've chosen." And letting the Mormont girl kill his the giant because "she was a little character" so they "wanted her to kill one of the strongest big characters."

Contrast with (for example) Ned Stark's death, and how shitty it was for him and his family. Nothing heroic about it. Just came out of nowhere... except not really, it was foreshadowed and actually predictable, if you didn't expect the show to be, well, what it is right now. Because everyone was used to these heroic disney shows, it WAS a surprise, and that's what drew a lot of people in. It felt like something that really could happen in a setting like that. The grittiness, the realism, the "grimdark" stuff. All of that is gone now.

When they do kill characters now, the impact is always softened by this Disney bullshit where every death is a good death, and even in death those characters achieve something amazing. And of course only largely pointless side characters die.

Interview with mormongirl's actress:

Quote
In the scene with the giant, the way that you stab him is really similar to the way that Arya kills the Night King. Did you feel like the episode was like a triumph for the female characters?

Yeah, definitely. It proves that young people are just as capable as experienced people, and women are just as capable as men. The fact that little pint-sized females took out the most dominating forces in the White Army was pretty inspiring, actually.

Lmao. I've seen this sentiment so many times now. And it never gets less retarded.

Because a fantasy show on the telly scripts a 100 cm little girl to kill a giant, it PROVES that children can do anything, and that women are just as capable as men. So inspiring that little "pint-sized females" took out the most dominating forces in the White Army!

Inb4 the entire prophecy, the lord of the light and there demonstrably being one God in the setting with very real power is completely ignored by D&D

Also that theory is really stupid, how did it get two platinums and six golds? Massive leaps of logic and by the logic he's using Melisandre would be the lord of light, she's the one resurrecting people by touching and possessing the "opposite power" of the Night King, etc. Won't even get into how retarded the time travel crap is, and how many insane plot holes it would open up, just like every instance of unchecked time travel in any setting. The entire theory boils down to "lol bran did literally everything himself with his magic time travel powers instantly and caused literally every event ever to happen." Not only is it completely unfounded but he somehow managed to come up with a theory that would be even less satisfying than what we got if it was real.

In the episode followup commentary, they implied they randomly picked Arya to kill the NK at some point; and wove the episode to heighten the surprise. Its hard to believe that decision was really random

She washed some bodies, did some mild sparring with another student, went blind, then became batman. Except when the waif attacked her, then she went back to being a dumb little girl. Then she became batman again and killed the waif. Then she went to her boss, who's whole thing is dissolving identity, selflessness, and obedience and told him she wasn't going to dissolve her identity, was going to be selfish and not be obedient. Oh and she killed his other potential student who was obeying him. He said 'at last you are no one' for some reason. Then she came back and knew how to change faces for some reason. Now's she permanently batman. Except for that one pirates of the caribbean scene in the last episode where she was a dumb little girl again. But now she's batman again.

How is it possible to get that excited over something like GoT? And I see so many people in the comment section, and on reddit, talking about how much they screamed, etc. It's just so bizarre to me.

On the other hand, good for them, I guess. I too would like it if I was able to get an excitement orgasm over putting on my microwave or opening the fridge, or watching some telly.

Doesn't make seeing it any less embarrassing, though.

This episode was unbelievably, amazingly awful. The worst episode of the show by a country mile, and that's an incredible achievement considering last week's retardation.

The amount of absolute idiocy from the writers was mind-boggling, but because I can feel my brain cells rapidly dying just thinking about the things that took place, I will only mention one:

Daenerys, her top advisors and her only remaining dragon (WHICH IS STATIONARY ON THE GROUND) VOLUNTARILY go in front of a LITERAL FIRING SQUAD of Westeros' equivalent (apparently) of heat-seeking missiles (although plot armor does seem to confuse their targeting sensors). Counting on CERSEI adhering to some abstract code of honor she's never demonstrated in her life. Cersei, who hired an assassin for the small price of Riverrun to kill Tyrion, and who could now kill him, plus, y'know, the entirety of her main opposition, in one fell swoop.

Jesus. Fucking. Christ. And I'm not even getting into the literal 1000 other things in the episode that were just as nonsensical.

What a shit show, in both meanings of the word. I would never have guessed the show could actually get THIS bad, even after last week. I'm a little mind-blown, to be honest. It's gotten to the point of being comically bad, I swear this could be a parody of a show I used to watch called Game of Thrones.

I will write this as I am watching the episode;

-3 episodes left, and they spent 10 minutes burning the dead ugh and Ghost isn't dead? like wtf edit:another 10 minutes of no context dialogues and shitty jokes with more to follow ree
-Damn Emilia Clarke was actually hot in the first seasons
-Cleganebowl hint?
-"Half are gone" you are kidding me right
-They try too hard to show how they still have men left to fight but from what've have seen last episode pretty much only heroes were alive right but of course the unsullied can multiplicate with fucking mitosis
-Sansa instantly bailed on Jon lol
-Ok dragons and ships are apparently made of paper? I am not sure how accurate they were but GoT ballistas seem really unrealistic but it's a fantasy show so ok i guess
-"If you go to King's Landing with the Unsullied thousands of innocents will die" I thought the Unsullied had a reputation of not raping/pillaging/murdering civilians which is also mentioned in the show before, that sounds like another excuse to not end the war for another two episodes and episode pretty much ended anyway while they discussed this.
-Also another case of "no recon battle" like you have mobile flying steeds why don't you/ how can't you know enemy forces approaching, this is beyond me.
-They killed another sub character nice I guess none of the mains are gonna die this season.
-Just fire the ballistas so you don't hve to shoot two more episodes
Rest of it was no action dialogues I guess. I tried to find something to like but there isn't one.

By the way, how did they get to Kings Landing from Dragonstone? Their fleet was destroyed right? Lol my bad, forgot you can regenerate both troops and navies as seen before. But how did they sail there without getting attacked again? Apparently Cersei isn't interested in killing them when it's convenient to do so.

And as someone pointed out in the reddit I believe, her reasoning for taking her 12 unsullied and standing outside the gates was so the people could see that Cersei denied peace. But no one even saw it???

The "Ghost belongs in the north" meme is a shameless we got no money for CGI move. I assume the same with the dragon.

Well the soldiers saw it. Joffrey mentioned way earlier that there is no standing army, so I imagine they're just city folks who are going to see their family and other citizens at some point, especially with the entirety of the city cooped up in the red keep
Man, the citizens would be REALLY gross with Cersei if she killed her enemies and their dragon, thus preventing unimaginable amount of death in an instant and saving them and their family members. Boy oh boy would they be mad, especially since Cersei's been such an honorable, good girl. Like, seriously, what has she done aside from blowing up the church, the Pope so loved by the people no one could act against him, a ton of innocent people, the queen loved by the people, and caused the king to commit suicide. But other than that, what has she done? Nothing. No reason for her to squander her popularity just to, pfft, end the war instantly.

Are we just reposting Oberyn's memes and pretending they're our own? Is that what we're doing? HAVE WE NO SHAME? Imagine how it feels like to be Oberyn now. Not only does he get his name from something associated with turds thanks to these last seasons, his memes are being stolen a mere page later by some good-for-nothing rapscallions.

How did the writers get the fucking job, I'm seriously asking.

Sending a depleted, battered, exhausted army against cersei who got reinforced by the fucking golden company, instead of waiting for some time and gathering support (ex: from Dorne, EXPLICITELY mentionned). Sansa/Arya bitching they don't need Daenerys' help while they'd have been wiped otherwise, and even admit it in the same conversation (??????). Euron and his fleet shooting fast-moving targets, through rocks (you should be able to see a fucking fleet while flying, sorry, so the boats were hidden behind the rocks), at a range beyond 200 meters, and killing a fucking dragon in less than 10 seconds; also losing their entire fleet, because why not. Dothraki surviving, even though they got wiped, "50% casualty rate ONLY" while ep3 ended with pretty much everyone being dead besides our plot armor-wearing heroes. Jon basically ignoring Daenerys' advice not to tell anyone, Daenerys ignoring her advisors.

I just want it to end. Not only they don't seem to read what they fucking wrote, but also don't look out for some coffee mugs. It's absurd.

Yes, but since most of the story/lore/plots went out of the window last 2 episodes, Sam is probably not going to ever appear again, especially when his arc was directly linked only with the white walkers/jon's true name.

Not even interested in hate watching it. Have seen nothing from this season and stopped watching a couple episodes into the previous one.

I called this after season 4, the Red Wedding (A Storm of Swords book in general) has always been the climax and best part of the books. Up until that moment of the story the screen writers had been following the book plots more or less faithfully, with small seemingly random changes here and there. After that, the TV show became nothing more than terrible, terrible fan fiction. Hard to pinpoint when the cancer really set in, but the butchering of the Dorne and Ironborn plotlines were early portents of where things were heading.

Got around to watching it now at 1,5x speed, which i will keep doing for the next episodes too. I did not think it was as bad as ep3, many people seem to hate it more but i guess im missing something (i havent rewatched the show ever, and just started on book 1, so im lacking details). It is very depressing to see the Varys and Tyrion have conversations, these characters used to be my favourites because there was always such depth to the dialogue everytime they were on the screen, but now both are on at the same time and its just boredom.

Also Jon just ditching the dog without so much as a scratch, just looking over towards him sadly. Really made it feel limited in budget or something. Kind of takes me out of the show, like does he really not feel anything for the poor pupper? I couldnt help but feel like the dog is just a green screen.

But thats just nitpicking, obviously there are bigger things, like the laughable dragon death.

That one delivered imo, since most of it was centered around that massacre/warcrime thing rather than anything else. Also Cleganebowl finally fucking happened. The new plots were foreshadowed for a long time, so nothing surprising. The few things i found weird during the massacre, and perhaps a bit disappointing is that we saw only a few golden mercs, while there were 20k super trained, legendary men that just got steamrolled, no cavalry (mentioned beforehand in E3 i think). The dragon also managed to sneak past the entire city to destroy the main gate, because no one can spot a massive thing in the sky burning the fucking walls. Another thing i find rather bad is that Tyrion, a guy renowned for his intelligence, can't find out that Daenerys is fucking batshit insane, just like Varys told him 10 fucking times before that, and has to be shown things he probably knew would happen if Daenerys had her way, aka a burning city with a million inhabitants.

D&D fucked up, HBO offered 4 more episodes, they have an entire new plotline which is the Aegon/Daenerys split, yet there's ONE episode left to wrap up a conflict of that size. Meh.

Post by: Xant on May 13, 2019, 03:19:31 pm
That episode was decent. Good visuals, and I like how brutal it was. Kind of reminded me of the old Game of Thrones a little.

If only the writing made any fucking sense. Talk about a rush job, first of all. Varys "betrays" Daenerys and gets executed in ten minutes flat, just over and done with for no good reason. None of that made any sense. What did he actually do? How did they find out? No one reacted either to any of it. And even worse was Daenery's completely nonsensical descent into madness. The end result is good, but the lead up just was. Not. There. At all. Her character changed COMPLETELY from the last season. Hell, from the last episodes. They rushed it like fuck, it made no sense, and it would've been really easy to make it so much better.

And how about the insanely, wildly varying power levels of scorpions and dragons? In this episode, scorpions were fucking USELESS. When just last episode we saw Euron hit a moving target on open sea, where judging distance of an object flying that far away, and its speed, would be next to impossible. Yet, two perfect hits, not even a single shot needed to gauge distance etc. And this episode? We have a metric fuck ton of scorpions, none of them doing anything at all. Oh yeah, and what was Daenerys' plan for dealing with Euron's fleet equipped with them, and the walls? Just fly at them and dragonfire them all to death 4Head. Literally what. She just lost a dragon to their insane power and accuracy, and now she just destroys them all by flying directly at them. With utter ease.

And dragons in this episode are back to invincible nuclear weapons that can keep breathing fire (that explodes walls) for hours, non-stop. Too bad the dragons kind of forgot how to do that in the battle for Winterfell.

Why were there no scorpions at the Red Keep? Daenerys could've literally flown up there and just burned it to the ground unopposed straight from the start.

Probably the worst victim of this episode was Jaime. They absolutely butchered his character and his character arc. He went back to being the season 1 Jaime out of nowhere, and he "never really cared much about the innocent" despite the fact his entire backstory as the Kingslayer is based on that, lmao. Among, y'know, other things like... going to the North to fight for living instead of staying with Cersei, etc., etc.

Golden Company was completely pointless. Also, they fucking hate walls. As does every defending army on this show, apparently. Much better to form up outside them.

Everyone forgot about the Night King already. The entire threat from beyond the Wall was also completely, entirely pointless. Literally may as well not have existed. Even Danenery's army seemed completely intact, logic-defyingly. The Battle for Winterfell had zero impact on anything. So many missed opportunities. I was actually somewhat curious to see how a practically army-less Daenerys was going to defeat Cersei, but I guess I forgot it's D&D writing this show. Just pretend she has an army again!

Why were Arya and Sandor in the city on the day of the attack? HOW were they there? They left on horses before the army left from Winterfell on foot, didn't they? Plus there were a ton of other delays for the army. What was the point of Arya going to KL on the same day as the city gets attacked? Why did Arya decide to suddenly turn back, after having traveled all the way there from Winterfell, when she was ten seconds from her goal? What the actual fuck was she doing there in the first place, if she was satisfied with Cersei dying by someone else's hand? And did the writers kind of forget, with that Arya scene, that Arya is a hardened killer that's killed like 100+ people, not some naive little girl who's just embarked on a path of revenge without truly realizing what it means?

Cersei's death and scenes just felt.... flat and unsatisfying. She just stares out a window, then cries a bit, then dies. Rushed, again.

So many things happened off-screen. Conversations, and things like Jaime magically being smuggled into the city. Par for the course now, of course.

In our series of pointless things: Euron. Euron casually saunters from the sea like an anime character after, apparently, swimming for miles and miles. Just in time to have a retarded, meaningless fight with Jaime. Which he wins, then kind of forgets about Jaime, who crawls 10 meters to a sword and kills Euron. Yay. Guess they had to kill off Euron somehow and their lunch-break was coming up when they remembered they had to write something for him.

Armor: Hound's sword easily penetrates the armor of four Kingsguard. Then does nothing to the Mountain who wears identical armor. And I don't know what it is with people and the "Cleganebowl" meme, but apparently any Hound+Mountain scene is automagically awesome or something (despite Mountain being a weird zombie and not even a person anymore, he already basically died). I guess it was okay, but felt extremely anticlimatic to me. Just D&D quickly killing off more characters in another scene that means nothing outside its immediate context. In fact, that was basically the entire episode. D&D getting rid of characters as fast as they can, so they can finish the story.



Also, the leaks were right about this episode. If they're also right about the ending, and who ends up on the Iron Throne, shit's about to get (even more) hilarious(ly bad).

I honestly still think she's being built up as an eventual "bad guy". A bunch of dragons and an army of bloodthirsty rapists with the goal to conquer land and tear down castles doesn't sound very noble, with the addition of even more bloodthirsty rapists when the Ironborn conveniently show up with a massive fleet just as she's convinced the Dothraki to follow her across the sea. The only army she's had so far is a bunch of robotic drugged euneuchs, and I don't care how fucking kawai they all think she is the Dothraki and Ironborn ain't gonna stop the rapin' and the lootin' they know and love. I mean, an army composed of viking and mongol derivatives, I can't think of anything that says predatory mass destruction any better, except maybe fucking dragons, which oh wait she also has, with the robotic drugged euneuch baby/dog murderers as an afterthought. I can't see anyone in the Seven Kingdoms welcoming that shit.

O b e r a d a m u s

TBH I am not all that surprised that Dany is making bad decisions now as her most effective advisers have all either died or had their brains written out of the show. Guess she has a little more mad king in her than people previously suspected.

Overall that last episode was at least very entertaining, though some of the choices for how characters went out seem pretty strange. Still feels very rushed but it gets a 7.8/10 from me.

Show isn't even worth discussing at this point, it'd just be redundant to point out the lack of writing/character development. Can find more substance in a fuckin marvel movie nowadays, and probably more visually-pleasing cgi in the past few got episodes.  The only thing I found fitting from the last episode was the end of cleganebowl, the actual "fight" itself was a little underwhelming since it was little more than the hound hacking at his bro's invulnerable armor (until he stabs right through it eventually), and then getting tossed around. Although at least we got one last little houndism out of it, "fucking die!" Also arya being there at all (travelling all the way from winterfell, sneaking into the red keep, and THEN she turns back?) just felt forced, she only seemed to be there to give us a pov of a "helpless citizen" during all the destruction.

Shoutouts to those lannister soldiers who were trying to save the citizens, more honorable than the now-rapist notherners I guess.

I think they included this as a callback to the idea of history as a wheel repeating itself, because 25 years prior it was the Lannister solders raping and pillaging the city, and now the roles were reversed with the Targaryen loyalists doing the same.

What's so crazy is that it's almost impossible to please feminists like this. Unless you make women PERMANENTLY and universally the best thing ever, you're their worst enemy. GOT has been SJW fan-service for something like three seasons now, with women and girls in all shapes and sizes that have been the best in literally everything, and not a single man who wasn't subservient to them. And yet when one of the women goes Mad Queen (you know, like the men before her have went mad), it's now a sexist, misogynistic show. It's the same thing every time.

It wasnt the worst episode at least. I dont understand why it has to be so long though, i get it, she is torching the city and the citizens and i guess the cgi looks pretty(?). Its just CGI, its not that impressive, i dont need to see so much of the same thing.

Jaimes character arc got flushed, i was desperately hoping that he would do something to end Cersei, but nah. Arya literally has no purpose, why are we watching her? She didnt do anything, she just got some mother and child killed. She walks in with purpose, realises she doesnt want it, then walks out. Is it to be some kind of redemption (i dont know what to call it), "oh arya isnt out for revenge anymore, she good now". Or as it seems D&D just writes dramatic scenes in with no purpose but drama itself, oh now we see the innocents trying to hide/escape, and then they die how sad, oh Dany u a bad bitch.

Euron dies just to die, stabs Jaime but it doesnt change anything, he walks away like its a bee sting after winning the fight.

Varys dies, and Tyrion is essentially dead and replaced with a bootlicker that doesnt even quip about his bad situation, he just is follows. The Hound dies unfortunately, he was the only character that wasnt completely ruined, but at least he had some kind of satisfactory finish.


And so on.. The best part of the show now is honestly reading and listening to rants from people that are big fans. Im not that huge on GoT compared to some, but just hearing the devastation and anger is great.

None of the deaths mean anything anymore. There's no context to them. That's one of the worst things about the show.

Oberyn, a newly introduced character, dies defending Tyrion in his trial. It has big build up, and his death has implications and consequences for the story.

Ned Stark, obviously the same. Rob, the same. Joffrey, the same. Etc., etc. They die in scenes that had build up, that had meaning. Something depended on them being dead or alive. The story changed as a result.

These deaths? They mean nothing whatsoever. They're just lazy, rushed, attempts to quickly close out the show with an ending for every character. I wouldn't even mind if a character or two died because battle is a chaotic mess, just randomly dead from an arrow or something. That'd be great. Just show some reactions to it, etc. But no. Characters in D&D's writing die in these fan-service "It Was Their Destiny" battles that have absolutely no meaning behind them.

Also, the fact everything is so incredibly rushed, and they skip all the intrigue and traveling and everything that made the show great before, is made even odder by what they do choose to show.

So many storylines and characters snuffed out, could have been worse I guess, but generally rather anticlimactic and lazy. I literally feel I could have done a better job writing this and I know nothing about writing. That is the joy I get out of Game of Thrones now, thinking about easy fixes to retarded writing.

I was really expecting Cersei to threaten to blow up the city with wildfire. If coupled with a reveal that Cersei has lied about being pregnant just to sway Jaime's loyalty, that could lead nicely to Jaime finally deciding to kill her. Would have fit nicely with the drinking wine and trying to get pregnant with Euron, with the wildfire which they surprisingly had not actually forgotten about, with the Jaime killing Aerys thing, the whole valonqar deal, and Euron could have walked in and made a nice "kinslayer" pun and then they could have fought. Cersei is killed, the city is saved, and then Daenerys does her thing.

Staggering that they did nothing to counter the scorpions. An obvious fix would have been Drogon nuking the water to create clouds of steam as cover, or if you want it over the top, the dragon showing of a newfound ability to divebomb into the water and resurface in the center of the fleet, like a seagull. Combined with pretending it got hit and for just a moment fostering the idea that it dropped dead into the water, that could have been pretty swell, albeit a little off the wall.

Cleganebowl was lackluster. There was fire all over the city, and they did nothing with Sandor's fear of fire. They could have had Gregor suddenly speaking a few lines, taunting the Hound's scars or his fear of fire, driving Sandor to finally rush through fire to kill him. Now Gregor was just a slab of meat and revenge did not seem satisfying. I did like that Sandor let Cersei calmly stroll by, reinforcing the idea that Sandor never cared about the big game going on.

Golden Company could have just fought well at the walls or in the streets, and after seeing half the company burn, they leader could have decided that no sum of gold is worth dying like that, having them break their first contract.

Daenerys I do not mind so much, when she was sitting on her dragon I was contemplating if I considered it convincing for her to snap. Initially I thought no, that it was very rushed, but honestly I am not sure what they should have done. There was quite a lot there, the death of Missandei + "dracarys", the betrayal from Varys and Jon splling his secrets, the not eating, the very well acted unhinged look and pale make-up, the burning of team Tarly, the "let it be fear" scene, the glances at Jon being adored after the battle of Winterfell while she was sitting alone, the chats between Varys and Tyrion.

Arya could have used ninja powers to open a gate or something, or start ringing a bell, the Arya that smugly ripped of her face after serving the Freys some humble pie should be able to do something instead of run around panting, for no reason other than to get innocent people killed, there was like 15 minutes of that that could made other storylines miles better. Maybe she should have finished the job on Gregor and wink to a dying Sandor who failed.

If only the writing made any fucking sense. Talk about a rush job, first of all. Varys "betrays" Daenerys and gets executed in ten minutes flat, just over and done with for no good reason. None of that made any sense. What did he actually do? How did they find out? No one reacted either to any of it.
They at least implied Varys was actively trying to poison Daenerys. They could have had Tyrion sniff a cup of wine or something, since wine is his only skill now, or have him shoot a meaningful glance at a little bird walking around and it would have been more complete but still subtle.

True, but "Tyrion told her (what?)" and no one mentioned the poisoning or anything like that at all, so it was done extremely weirdly. From all appearances, Varys was executed for a thought crime.


And Daenerys had reason to be "distraught." Some of the things you mentioned get brought up a lot, but really it's shit that would make a person sad, or yes, perhaps even angry, but it doesn't explain a complete disregard for her previous personality and suddenly committing genocide for no reason.

Ah yes, Euron swam ashore and fought Jaime because he's a "psychopath" and he wants to know what "new things" are like. Like death. What the ACTUAL fuck? Could he not have just.... not swam, and drowned and experienced this glorious new experience called "death" that way?

The writing is even worse than it seems. Somehow.

But hey go fuck yourself retard.

Dany being evil is actually one of the more redeeming choices.

Not my fault you have literally no sense of taste or literary appreciation. Everything post season 4 is nothing but retarded fan fiction. Only the big plot points are in any way ASOIAF, and even then GRRM constantly, constantly rewrites and finnagles with his storyline, so we're probably at a dozen generations of story evolution in the books vs the plot points he gave the (((showrunners))). If Fat Man ever releases the books before dying of the beetus, gonna buy em just to see the story unfolding and told properly, instead of this fever dream committee created pile of bullshit.

David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have proven themselves to be woefully incompetent writers when they have no source material (i.e. the books) to fall back on.

This is the reasoning in the dumb petition you linked. Gee, I wonder how long the showrunners have been writing the plot without the books to fall back on. Hmmmmm perhaps there is an exact cut-off? When they started completely deviating from the book? Almost as if that moment can be generally ascertained, and it sure as fuck isn't just in this last season.

All those woke yas kweens suddenly realizing perhaps a fat white nerd who loves pulling heartwrending twists that subvert typical fantasy tropes may have been leading them on for exactly this payoff. They just don't like that the trope being subverted is one they looooove.

At this point raping Star Wars is like raping trannie nymphomaniac.

Star Wars went to shit when Phantom Menace came out, exactly two decades ago. Redeeming qualities of second SW trilogy are Sith Lords (Dooku and Palpatine) and a little bit of Revenge of the Sith, everything else is utter crap. Still better than modern SJW SW movies by Disney.

Ned Stark is the man of old times, at least on the outside. Honest, hardworking man sticking to his word and keeping his family together. Bearded fatso who wrote this planetary popular book series based story on martyrdom of Ned Stark. Because at that point this story becomes gritty and some would say engaging, not me tho, I have seen it is crap from the very beginning.

We live in era where liberals run the media and shape the minds of millions who watch that media, as Oberyn tends to point out every post he makes. Now, having a plot where honest white man dies by hand of crafty and evil woman is perfect and because of that this crappy story succeeded in the first place, not because it is any good. If you think that books can't be served to you like other type of media (television and movies) then you are gullible sheep. You didn't take this book to read because it is good you did that because you heard of others that is good and unconventional. Which your adjusted and well trained mind supported and spread to those close to you, by physical distance or internet link. Now don't get me wrong, I ain't better than that, have no special powers to go against media brainwash. But at least I am noticing the pattern and am aware of it. Kinda like that guy from Matrix who knows whats going on but have no issues being part of it.

tl;dr source material is just as shit like this tv show but we all dig it because ned stark dies. if he didnt this would be just another medieval fantasy story with dragons.

i am starting to see similar pattern in Japanese produced cartoons or anime if you like. take an ordinary story, spice it up a little with something terrible happen to main protagonist at the very opening to grip the audience. then carry along with stupid and predictable plot until they start to feel boredom then spice it up again with some gritty twist and keep going until you think they have enough of it, then do the same with another story. Just like working in factory, its only that we idiots who consume that media need to lie to ourselves how what we are watching isn't macdonalds hamburger but some homemade dish served with love.

Edit: Another planetary popular example, The Walking Dead. Stopped watching that mid second season, you know why? Because original director who made the comic into TV show actually finished it in first season because he knew he out of contract so he wrapped up the comic book adaptation in his own way. Except it became too popular so they kept going and going and going, and still are probably going not sure have not checked recently. Only thing good about Walking Dead was that director who made some pretty cool movies in the past, because comic is bang average. As soon I have seen he was off and where show was going I skipped on it, never turned back and guess what I was right about that decision.

Absolutely awful ending to an absolutely awful season. Literally the only good thing about it was Daenerys becoming a mass murderer and dying, and only because of how much it triggers the YAS KWEEN crowd.

Let's start with the Night King: he didn't matter AT. FUCKING. ALL. He died in one episode, then is never mentioned again. Pointless plot arc. Utterly unsatisfying. Arya just comes home from Bravos and teleports behind him. The end.

Varys sending out ravens: was just for a cool cinematic shot, I guess? Jon's heritage didn't end up mattering at all either, despite being a huge reveal.

Again, awful, awful time skips. So many important things happen off-screen. Daenerys gets killed? ..... screen goes black, skip forward a few weeks. Fucking really? No reactions shown, nothing. And then after the skip, nobody really cares that Daenerys died. Not in the "she sucked, whatever" way, but it's barely acknowledged. They just breeze over it.

Samwell's "hehe democracy" speech was fucking retarded and shoehorned in. Yara laughed at it, despite it being the way her people choose their kings, btw.

Daenerys murdering all the innocents was glossed over, no one called her to account for it properly. "Cersei tried to use them as a shield", and everyone was like "mm yea it was still kinda bad tho", no one pointed out how it was utterly unnecessary and achieved nothing.

And now for the most retarded thing in the entire fucking show: Bran being selected king. What the actual fuck? So, so fucking stupid. It made no sense whatsoever. Seriously. What the fuck?

This guy who's one step from being a literal vegetable, this creepy staring teenager who has spoken two awkward words in each season, is READILY chosen as the king by everyone?!?!? Because of Tyrion's utterly nonsensical speech about fucking stories that made no sense whatsoever?

What kingly qualities has Bran ever displayed? When has anyone seen him do anything that would imply he'd be a good ruler? On the contrary, as his first act as soon-to-be-king-if-people-still-agree, he demonstrates some insane favoritism to his family by letting the North become an independent kingdom, and EVERYONE STILL AGREES TO MAKE HIM KING, AND NOBODY ELSE GOES "yeah, us too btw or no vote"?!? Written by literal morons. Everyone just agreed that Stark supremacy everywhere was the best thing ever, and forgot about self-interest.

Jon Snow trial? Happened off-screen, of course. Wouldn't want to show reactions, etc. Why are the Unsullied and Dothraki fine with Jon's non-punishment? Oh yeah, everyone just sort of forgot about Dany dying. On that note, why the fuck is Jon even being punished? The Unsullied and Dothraki sail away. So... nobody left who would be angry at Jon. Still, sent "to the Night's Watch" because.... reasons. The Night's Watch that doesn't exist.

Drogon putting forth so much effort to melt the throne was retarded and random.

Quote
so apparently Drogon understood that it was the structures of power that the iron throne represents that killed Dany, rather than Jon?

A philosopher.

Quote
Drogon: My rider got stabbed with a sword! Wait, that chair is made of swords! THE CHAIR IS A TRAITOR!

Bronn becoming the master of coin despite Tyrion having to explain the concept of loans to him earlier makes a ton of sense.

Arya decides to sail west because she wants to randomly die on the ocean when her supplies run out as she looks for New Lands or something. Makes sense, since it's been at least an episode since she said their family will never be apart again.


Quote
Peasant: m'lord my crops died during winter and my house got burned down by dragonfire.. my wife died...the children died serving them Lannisters...i dont know where to go...what do I do m'lord

King Bran: You looked beautiful that day when your wife died

Quote
Bran: I can never be Lord of Winterfell, I can never be Lord of anything, I'm the three-eyed raven.

Also Bran: I'm the King

What an unsatisfying, idiotic ending to an unsatisfying, idiotic season. I'm just glad it's over so I don't have to watch another episode of this steaming garbage.

All of this blood, all of this death, for this ? People like to talk about bad writing, but let's be real for a second, is there even any kind of fucking sense in any of this ?

Jon's plot armor saved him on his scene with Daenerys, plus we don't get to see his trial, nor the reaction to the death of Daenerys. An entire kingdom breaking free, just like that, and others just nod. All lords of all other kingdoms just acceot to be ruled by a northman, from a kingdom that just fucking broke free ? What about the Dothrakis, you know, who are basically tribal barbarians killing for a living ? What about Jon Snow's heritage, both blood and actions, which would make him not only the legitimate king, and a just one at that ? I mean, the season was fucking horrible, of course it could only end at BEST with a boring ending, and a nonsensical one at that.

I just can't fucking bother anymore., thanks god it's over. Fuck D&D for butchering what was, and could've been the very best TV show of the early 21th century.

Yeah LOL at Grey Worm and the Unsullied just putting Jon in a cell (after confessing the assassination and the exact way it happened, dagger through the heart, to Grey Worm, for no reason) for a few weeks so Westeros nobles can decide his fate after he kills Daenerys. Nothing made sense in the episode.

I didnt hate this last episode as much as i couldve. Theres some relief in it being over now, like watching your hospitalized granpa finally pass after being in so much pain. And i guess the cinematography is still good combined with nostalgic music to cover up the awful writing, stealing my emotions really, but whatever.

Dany dying was nice, even though it made me laugh how it played out. I just wanted some death really.

Sansa becoming kween is dumb, but i guess she is supposedly smart now in the show.

The North becoming its own kingdom, and no one else asking for independence was a lil strange but whatever.

Bran becoming king is something. I guess it helps being an oracle to make decisions, but i dont know how much lords will respect him considering he is barely human. I hate his dumb dialogue "You were exactly where you needed to be" oh fuck off, and then he says nothing more.



Oh well, time to move on. Cant wait to get 3 shitty star wars movies written by dumb and dumber. In some ways im thankful to them for making this the last season. If they had decided to go with 2 more full seasons, i cant but imagine there being a ton of plot holes and just dumb desicions sprinkled over. Instead we get it all boiled down into 6 episodes of only dumb decisions. 2 more seasons couldve felt like a lot.

But even more notable is that nearly all of the small council members are, uh, men. The sole exception, so far, is Ser Brienne, whose feats have entirely been achieved among her male peers within the field of battle, and whose strength has been framed in purely masculine terms. She has this in common with the only two remaining female contenders for the new small council, Arya Stark and Yara Greyjoy. Each of them has succeeded as a fighter alongside the men around them; each of them has, to some degree, overtly rejected displays of femininity. The implications are clear: Women who explicitly embrace traditional femininity will not be making decisions for the future of the six kingdoms of Westeros.

Of course, the final season was extremely problematic on the level of basic storytelling. The plot issues were so large that it is impossible to even try to address them. But, you know – whatever.

The bottom line is that the feminist friend-loving queen is dead and the autistic incel rules the land. This is true justice of the highest possible sort

Unironically agree, based D&D suck so bad at their jobs they sucked in the globohomo retards with typical "modern" themes and tropes. They also seem to have forgotten GRRM's claim to fame was creating a grimdark fantasy series whose entire point was to play with and subvert typical fantasy tropes.

I like how they "broke the wheel" by introducing even more kings to Westeros than there were at the start of the war, and the Big King will be chosen by a council, which has worked SO well for real countries that have tried it, like HRE, and hasn't at all predictably caused civil wars...

The actual sensible, realistic option would've been for all of the kingdoms to agree to rule themselves. It made no sense to choose one over-king... except for the North, which gets to be its own kingdom, for Reasons

4.7 now for the last episode, tied with Dexter for the lowest rated series finale ever. I'm glad the normies are shitting on this awfulness as well, because D&D deserve it. The ratings are of course extremely unreliable as gauges of actual quality, as evident by the fact that s05-7 were rated so highly, even higher than 01-04 for some of the seasons. But they do show something of what the general public thinks.

I am not that mad, but that is entirely based on my interpretation of this interaction:

Tyrion asking "“I know you don’t want it. I know you don’t care about power. But I ask you now: if we choose you, will you wear the crown?”
Bran says “Why do you think I came all this way?”

To me this implies that Bran knew there was a path to him becoming king and he did just enough to make that path come true, and conciously did nothing to alter certain "bad" events, because they served his purpose of becoming king. In that sense his lines about not caring about anything or not wanting power were just lies to make others entrust the throne to him as the "reluctant ruler". Maybe a bit of a literary cop-out, but far more sensible than Bran just turning from apathy to kingship willy nilly.

I still agree that it makes no sense for the other lords to accept him as king, not for the ones that were there for all the events, nor for the Dorne, Riverlands and Vale lords.

That "Bran planned it all along" theory would be even less satisfying than what we got, incredibly enough. This guy whose powers are never explained but apparently have no real limits and can see the future, planned everything off-screen with his omniscience in a world where everyone else is a mundane. And then he ends up king, without any of his motivations explained either. Woohoo. How exciting and deep. It'd be an extremely retarded thing to write, but there might some truth to it, because that could be the way GRRM is going, but obviously with boatloads of more exposition and challenge, etc., and D&D just took that small part of GRRM's ending ("Bran becomes king.")

More likely, though, is that it really is as simple as it looks. That's how D&D writing has ALWAYS been. There is nothing below the surface. When Bran says "why do you think I came all this way?" it's just him appearing mysterious and knowledgeable, saying he knew they'd choose him, which is why he bothered to make the trip. And that's it.

What if the Night King possessed Brans body and the real bran was trapped inside the Nights King body, and Arya killed her brother who was trying to kill the real night king trapped in brans body, but he failed because of superhero Aray .

Yeah, I suppose you are right in that it is a cheap empty plot, trying to provide some pay-off without any setup in the classic D&D "subversion" sense. Any storyline involving characters that see the future gets weird very quickly. I am actually not sure if they have ever showed Bran being capable of seeing the future. I think GRRM only wrote about seeing the past through weirwood trees, providing some limits to the awareness, but I think greenseers are supposed to have visions of the future as well.

Post by: Xant on May 21, 2019, 11:02:10 am
The entire Bran arc was retarded (among other reasons) because they never explained the limits of his powers. If he can see the future, the past, the present, AND possess both animals and men, he's literally a God in that world. But we get no limits, we get no motivations, we get no explanations for what he says or why he says it or why he doesn't tell people something. It's just empty and awful writing. It's the same thing for the other completely overpowered character, Arya. Either of those two could've solved every single problem effortlessly judging by what we've seen, and the only reason they didn't is that they forgot about their powers when someone else's turn to take the spotlight came. At least Arya had a somewhat decent character arc (and did something to earn her powers), whereas Bran's arc was really retarded and nothing that mattered was ever explained. So now the best we have to make sense of things is "maybe he did everything off-screen with his god powers, and all the evidence that doesn't support it must've been him just lying." It's possible to construct a theory supporting almost anything like that, but the writing is so awful that it still makes more sense than the surface level of what we got (but the behind the scenes episodes have always confirmed D&D only write surface level). The "Bran planned it all along" theory was pretty popular on the subreddits I checked yesterday as well, and honestly it just came across as wishful thinking after an unacceptably awful finale.

Also this, not only was the writing in general retarded, the pacing was absolutely awful.

I looked at some of the clips of earlier seasons, and Jesus Christ the show has changed so much. There was witty banter, travel scenes, actual character development. There was world-building, people other than the main characters existed and mattered. The tone was completely different ("if any man dies with a clean sword, I'll rape his fucking corpse!" -- if that was said in season 8 it'd have been jarring because the setting doesn't feel dark and realistic anymore). It's not the same TV show as it used to be, just has similarly named characters.

Even the visual stuff that looked nice were extremely hamfisted, like Daenery's Angel Of Death wings, and the whole Nuremberg Rally imagery. Really hamfisted, like something straight out of V for Vendetta. Not even going for realism, just cheap in-your-face "cool factor."

Actually fits the current dialogue of the show perfectly.

(And Tyrion not being in the history books is yet another surface-level writing feat by D&D, so fucking stupid, Tyrion has been centrally/solely involved in 20 massively high profile things like several trials, wars, murders of kings and hands of the king, in addition to BEING the hand of several rulers, AND being famous even without any of that as "the Imp" of house Lannister, but hey, let's just add this in to the scene because Varys said history books won't remember him, lmao, hehe)

I think this is the crux of the problem. D&D don't care about the world, the story, the lore or characters. It's all just "what would be cool looking or funny to throw at viewers next" without any regard for previously mentioned components of a good story, Marvel-movie style. Except for Marvel movies, this is what we expect and know from start, whereas GoT has been something completely else at beginning.

Azor Ahai was a legendary hero who wielded a burning sword called Lightbringer, according to tales from Asshai and followers of R'hllor. In some other cultures this warrior is called Hyrkoon the Hero, Yin Tar, Neferion, and Eldric Shadowchaser.

Good indication if some IP is falling or not, are merchandise sales. Basically, merchandise with new SW characters is not selling well, is often on sales and yet no one is buying it. While merchandise with characters from old trilogy is still going strong. Kinda like Superman where very few give a fuck about new actor or those before him apart from Christopher Reeve. Or Masters of the Universe still selling merchandise despite having no show to support the sales. Some things are timeless, while other are shit from the get go.

Media might not want to admit it, but Disney Star Wars is huge blow to the franchise. Decent revenue from movie tickets is hiding the true story, just like great sales of Call of Duty were hiding the fact that is was slowly going down in quality every year. Until sales plummeted and everybody realized that.

I think it takes about two additional Disney movies for Star Wars to financially collapse to the point where they'll stop dedicating so much media coverage to the franchise.

Tommen: What about strength?

Tywin: Yes, strength. King Robert was strong; he won the rebellion and crushed the Targaryen dynasty. And he attended three Small Council meetings in seventeen years of ruling, and he spent his time whoring, hunting and drinking until the last two killed him. So, we have a man who starves himself to death, a man who lets his own brother murder him and a man who thinks winning and ruling are the same thing. What do they all lack?

Tommen: (considering, then realizing) ...Being a bird.

Tywin: Yes!

Tommen: Being a paralyzed bird with a touch of autism, and voluntarily disqualifying yourself from being a lord, is what makes a good king.

Tywin: Yes! But what does it mean to be a bird? Do you know anything of Jon Snow's heritage? Have you ever sat in a godswood and done literally nothing while Arya Stark leapfrogs from twenty feet in the air to defeat an ancient evil?

Tommen: (dejected) No.

Tywin: (reassuring) No. A good young king who is a bird listens to his advisors, namely another bird but one that is also a tree at the same time. He allows massacres to take place and then smugly accepts his coronation from a treasonous prisoner-of-war.
