For me it was the fact he was wearing a hipster jacket from River Island summer collection
I have half a mind to think Dumb & Dumber saw what a Q score goldmine Negan was for The Walking Dead and decided "we need one of those". This abrupt reformatting of Euron into a perverted discount Jack Sparrow defies any other explanation.
Reddit was angry about the long night and Dany becoming evil when the real problem was electing Bran as preselect. If you just stop watching the show right after Jon Snow kills Dany and the dragon flies off playing the Targaryen theme one last time it’s a perfect ending. Only thing you’re missing is Brienne of Tarth writing all of Jamie’s deeds, but oh well.
the whole battle thingy made no sense at all >let's us catapults, but let's put them outside the wall
and so on
If they had made the night king win, it would have been the best show ever
Not only outside the wall, but in front of the troops, so they'd be lost instantly when the enemy advanced. And that would have been a vastly better ending, yes.
>Targaryen >Not burning people while in a revenge driven bloodrage
If anyone was surprised by that they weren't paying attention. Dany killed alot of people in painful or outright tortuous ways before this point. Burning King's Landing was completely in character.

It's the fact it came completely out of nowhere and had no built up. They could've used Missandei's death to trigger but nope... Just le bells.
>you killed my servant! Ill burn you all!
Sounds like a crazy reaction but we spent the entire show being told and shown how crazy the targs and incest babies are. Did you forget that Dany was the same as joffrey or viserys?
>It's the fact it came completely out of nowhere and had no built up.
You morons can't even criticise a show properly without parroting whatever bullshit opinion peddled to you by the internet. Dany was the ONE person in the shitshow of a season who was completely in character and her rampage was inevitable.
She was subtly being set up as the villain for the final part. Trouble is d&d didn't realize this and decided to give her a heel turn for no reason besides "subverting expectations"
Big bad undead menance the entire show was building up to becomes insanely trivialized and then it ends with them voting for a new king who is a magic cripple who then gives an anti monarchy globohomosexual speech
So...exactly what I expected from GRRM. Yes, I know he didn't write it, D&D did, but the whole impetus of ASOIAF was to shit on Tolkien, so this adds up.
For starters, the show literally starts warning us of an impending world-ending threat that the show keeps pushing forward with every season only to be resolved in the second episode of the last season in the most moronic, cop-out of ways.
Then the show moves past this threat and no consequences are ever brought up again.
Watch my vid if you're curious 🙂 But the whole season was filled with stupidity courtesy of the two increasingly lazy showrunners, culminating in the election of the least suitable king imaginable, plus girl-power nonsense.

loll kill urself
Sorry, I'm not really interested in discussing the logic of 1000 ships in a show with magic and dragons.
The problem with that is that they aimed for gritty realism - with some fantastical elements on the periphery - for most of the series. If improbable shit had been the order the day throughout (as opposed to a focus on political manoeuvring inspired by real-world history), then fair enough.
>Big Final Boss hyped for 7 seasons is defeated in a battle that lasts seconds. >Cool evil Disney queen shuts up and stops scheming for the last season. >Fire Elsa who was supposed to be the one true queen who'll give everyone peace suddenly turns crazy and burns everything and everyone.
It was particularly hilarious to watch fan reaction to the last one, considering these gays have named theit kids with the name of a genocidal pyromaniac.
culmination of 4 seasons of shit coming to a head. It was honestly as bad as the previous 3 seasons it just was so obvious how little effort they put in so even normies noticed it. The two real catalysts for normie outrage was the big bad of the entire series barely lasting an entire episode and dany living up to the Targaryen name and killing civilians with her dragon in a fit of rage
The show initially was essentially a cross between lord of the rings and the wire.
The writing, characters and dialogue went downhill after a couple of seasons. Then in the end show runners said frick all of you, crammed like 4 seasons worth of story into 8 episodes, and wrote something that more resembles a cross between antman and the wasp and lord of the rings.
Obviously a show with dragons and sword fighting is not super high brow, but considering what type of show it is, it is genuinely one of the best things ever put to screen. The casting is absolutely phenomenal, the soundtrack is probably the best of a tv show ever and the characters are incredibly compelling. Looking back it is just unbelievable how many factors came together to make this such a success, only for some hack showrunners to throw it into the garbage.
A lot of the reasons people name are moronic and the real reason is that the show got to popular with normies and homosexuals like in this thread "omg X should have never been king!". It's not that the plot itself was bad, just that they eventually shifted the show to target drooling comic book fans.
For example they included an Ed Sheeran cameo in the end
I was never angered by Ed Sheeran whoever that is showing up because to this day I still don’t know who that is, but I’m sure all of reddit seethed when he popped up. Literally just some other drunk mick broguing with the other micks around a fire.
>I’m sure all of reddit seethed when he popped up
plebbit loved it, it's just the people that weren't ignorantly in bliss (like yourself actually brags about kek) realized it was moronic mockery of everything.
Ed Sheeran is a singer-songwriter whose music is all over the radio. He writes a lot of love songs. Guaranteed you’ve heard his music in a store https://youtu.be/JGwWNGJdvx8?si=zgxNPOn7L-yRQ89e
>The show initially was essentially a cross between lord of the rings and the wire.
lol yeah

>heh he doesn’t recognize celebrities what a rube
>he doesnt have to listen to popular music because too busy stuck in his goon cave to interact with real women
It's so obvious to spot incels.
yeah we had that debate. ed sheeran was a massive massive megastar at the time. still is to an extent. they put the camera RIGHT ON HIS FACE and had him be a singer...
normies were 100% right to shit all over that moment. it's absolutely comparable to having gordon ramsay as a chef - talk about destroying immersion
> I still don’t know who that is
liar if i put a gun to your head you'd say "SINGER! POP STAR! RED-HAIRED LITTLE GUY!" and that's all he is
> just some other drunk mick broguing with the other micks around a fire
well that's the problem, zoomer, they put an ugly little english looking guy in a show full of brauney micks
>having gordon ramsay as a chef
Nice analogy kek, you understand it. It's one thing have a one-off cameo. It's another to have 3 mins of airtime out of 48 and where you literally make a song for them. It's like if they had a mixologist come in make a craft beer, talk about it with all main characters and then they started selling x craft beer. Total what in the frick moment for any non-npc.
The dragon stuff was the only good part of the season. The Stark kids having plot armor and getting everything they want with little effort was antithetical to what made the series interesting. Arya surviving a brutal stabbing and going on to mass-slaughter everyone she hates without breaking a sweat, Littlefinger being defeated with no tricks up his sleeve, and so on. All the bad guys losing and all the good guys winning in the most boring ways. Fanfiction shit.
I would have been satisfied if Gendry became king, would have been like Stannis winning in spirit.
THAT said what the FRICK?
WHY did the sacrifice Stannis only to go fight the Baratheons in the next episode and be really hurting for men? WHY didn’t they join Stannis’s attack and help that mf?
they had to make shit up because the fat guy can't write those fricking books

5 years later and Winds of Winter still nowhere in sight LMAO. At least now we have a Dunk and Egg show happening so he can also fail to keep up with a short story spinoff series.
Maybe George owned a gimp that happened to be a talented writer, but George accidentally fricked it to death in a fit of homosexual rage. A killing the goose that laid the golden eggs situation.
Explain to my why that isn't as likely as any other explanation.
Sorry this post was worded like a moron.
Why did they not want to fight the Boltons with Stannis? Right after they were like >We need to fight the Boltons but don’t have the men!
Seriously the frick was that?
The last four seasons (of the eight season show) were BAD, but the first three were pure kino. Furthermore, there was always foreshadowing and hinting and mystery. People always said "well, maybe it will make sense in the end" or "well, maybe it will get better." With the end of season eight it was apparent that, no, thee show was not going to get better, it was bad and had been bad for years. At that point the floodgate broke and everyone who had been holding their tongue since season five came out of the woodwork.
The show was becoming more and more shit as the seasons went on, relying on all sorts of cheap hack tricks to resolve plot points, character assassinations to resolve plot points, introducing terrible characters with their own absolutely awful plots, complete breakdown of feasible rational story telling often just so they can get rid of characters they dont know what to do with anymore and cause some shock moment, or simplify things into a safer narrative. the plot also was also squeezed to permit alot of cringe inducing fanservice moments. this all and just a clear degeneration in quality of sets, design, script and direction.
now generally most normalgays gladly ate this slop up with a smile on their face. but where D+D really fricked up was their moronic twist ending of having dany just destroy everything because wouldnt that be SHOCKING? Mind you daenerys was by this point in the series already a completely insufferable pet character, but she was loved by the normalgays.
This ending was bad enough for people to even start saying "you know what, that final battle with the white walkers was bad too, and bran becoming king is dumb too!" and eventually "this final season wasnt that good!" though they more or less stop there.
honestly, im fairly convinced that the dany is evil thing was a bomb george dropped on the moronic showrunners while they were making the final season. I genuinely do not believe they would have gone for such an unsafe ending otherwise. they were probably uncertain, but whatever george said had to be genius.
Show had two plot points that moved the story forward:
a) Bunch of people fought for the throne. One was a woman
b) All that fighting was frivolous because a threat was coming that would kill everyone
Final season plot-gays and normal gays joined forces because b) is resolved in one episode (in an absurd way) and the woman from a) becomes crazy and, as you know, for casual audiences women can’t be portrayed as mad/evil/lacking proper judgement.
There’s also book-gays that hated the show from the get go and patricians who recognized some of the fun of the first few seasons but as the show got more popular (and everyone demanded more money), it also got incredibly sloppier. By the end, it pretty much had no fans.
he looked like he was from another show. the groomed hair for a pirate, vlothes like he was the fonz compared to everyone else, speech and mannerisms like from another time or place. was so jarring. reminddd me of that newer robij hood where they all wear modern clothes for some reason.
I still get why they didn’t continue the series or at least the make final season longer. The cast and D&D really thought they were above GOT when they owe their career to it. There didn’t need to wrap everything up in just 6 episodes. They could’ve gone for at least 3 more seasons with 10 episodes each. There was still tons of book material to work with
Dumb and Dumber thought they were headed to Star Wars. Collapsed a franchise behind themselves, and lept into one that was falling apart already. Greek play levels of hubris.
The best seasons were the ones that most closely followed the books. As soon as they started seriously taking it in their own direction people hated it more and more. How did they get such big heads over their abilities?
They suck but it doesn’t help that George wasn’t writing and he only gave them a cliffnotes version of things. I do wish they just followed book 4 and 5 properly. You can’t get rid of plots that might be superfluous like young Griff, but when D&D took full reign characters started going full moron
After that many seasons they should know how the characters ought to be portrayed. And like you said, he gave them notes on how to proceed. They weren't exactly flying blind
they probably thought that they had come up with everything all by themselves
the show was mid though
the costumes and hair and costumes were shit
overall american garbage
the only nice touch was the story, and sometimes the acting
Even though the show shat the bed it’s still kino, ESPECIALLY next to modern day slop we get. It has great characters (and awful ones) but the whole series is worth it for Jamie Lannister. There’s always some character making the show kino in spite of itself. Every scene with Robert Baratheon. Every scene with Stannis. Every scene with Tywin. Every scene with Alistor Thorne. And yes every scene with Ramsay Bolton. Shit even small parts like Serio Ferrell. The fricking Hound. Yeah I fast forward every time Grayworm or Sandsnakes are on screen but there’s just so much relentless kino that even at its stupidest it’s still cool.
S6 was by far the worst. Nothing fricking happened. The false tension with Jon Snow and Sansa fighting. That sucked but then you have Cersei annihilating the sept and getting rid of all those annoying characters that have been boring you for 2 seasons. Kino.
Honestly, normies didn’t notice the shows decline in quality until it became obvious in season 7/8. If you talked to people about the show they thought things like Dorne were funny, that Arya was an awesome ninja girl, that Sansa bringing in an army without telling Jon was heroic, and that Tyrion was a hilarious and intelligent guy who “drinks and knows things”. It was only online that there was dislike from more hardcore fans. Had they even etched out a mediocre last season, the show would have remained beloved by the many and possibly syndicated. Now that the mask is off they just watch clips on Youtube to see the highlights instead of sitting through an entire episode. I bet merch sales are fricked too. In my old office there were 3 different people with GoT catch phrase mugs. I dont see any in the wild anymore.
>Greek play levels of hubris
This. I don't fault them for wanting to move onto something else, but then fricking hand the series off to someone who actually wants to finish it. I'm sure there were thousands of perfectly capable people who would have leapt at the opportunity to finish Game of Thrones. But D&D couldn't handle the thought of someone else doing it. They had to be the Game of Thrones guys, even if it meant ruining the series and become laughingstocks for the rest of their lives.
Most of the cast said they'd have stayed on for several more seasons. D&D were the ones who decided to frick everything up in the final stretch because they wanted to go ruin Star Wars. Then they got fired from Star Wars and have been unemployable since.
>The cast and D&D really thought they were above GOT when they owe their career to it. There didn’t need to wrap everything up in just 6 episodes
this was the line that was sold but obviously it was something else
I think it was more likely costing hbo too much money
so they just said frick it

HBO begged them to stay because they were making bank
The cast also wanted to stay. Even some of the cast members that were killed off were upset that they were killed off too soon
HBO offered them more episodes per season and even as many seasons as they deemed fit in order to do it right.
HBO got asked if all the piracy was hurting their subscriber sales, since it was the most pirated show in the world at the time and they said "lol nope!"
DnD specifically asked for less episodes per season and then less seasons overall
Alright frick you besides he SHITTY ass end of it when they vote for kings.
Why was Gendry even a character at all outside of wasting the viewer’s time if he wasn’t gonna be king in the end? And they set him up with Arya how weren’t they the king and queen? the frick?
Show Gendry is the culmination of rolling up all of Robert's bastards into a single character, much like Show Euron is all of Theon's uncles.
Bringing Gendry back was just more useless fan service. Reintroducing a character that hasn’t been relevant for five seasons is not a plot twist. It’s just bad writing. It’s incredible how good the show was through season 4: >the hound’s redemption arc culminating in Arya’s first kill >Tyrion’s trial & monologue >the mountain crushing the bisexual’s skull with his bare hands >Jaime returning to kings landing
None of the characters or their stories mattered much after this point.
1000 ships would take decades to build. it took 1 to 2 years for a large ship in middle ages to be built. the logistics of a thousand ships and finding capable sailors and captains would be insane.
>oh yeah, there's this based sea warlock character that we're looking to introduce in the coming season >nice. let's cast that fat, lazy eyed danish guy to play him

Well Ned Stark was in the fruckus and he’s a deadly warrior, plus all those other guys who I assume are bad ass if Ned picked them to go on this mission. Not even the hound fricked up that many people so easily, that was definitely the highest power level the show went, Arthur Dane easily slaughtering those other guys. Ned Stark + 1 of his men together would have raped Jamie Lannister or Brienne of Tarth or some shit. Dane battled that whole battalion alone.

The point is that he was most known for having a super unique Greatsword made from a meteorite, "pale as milkglass" that while wielding it he is undefeatable.
Dawn being Arthur Dayne's Greatsword and being so special was brought up multiple times in the books. Instead the show has him duel wield two random swords, taking away the sword that he's known for using.
The sword is also only supposed to be passed down to those that carry the title of "The Sword in the Morning" in their family, and Eddard Stark even returned the sword to Ashara Dayne after the events of The Tower of Joy, in respect.

Not him, but to be completely and utterly fair, I'm pretty sure none of those lore elements or plot points were ever mentioned or were intended to be adapted. So if Dawn has no real context, who gives a frick? All that matters are the characters and the stories, everything else is largely interchangeable with no real harm. Similar to how different writers have used different creative interpretations for the witch's prophecies in Macbeth.
THAT ALL BEING SAID, the Tower of Joy sequence was fricking stupid as hell and the twin sabers looked dumb as frick and were clearly props. The choreography was made so that everybody was swinging at each other's swords, which is why it looked like Arthur Dayne was a fricking Jedi. Ned was a c**t. Lyanna was a c**t. Arthur Dayne was a respectable c**t. Bran's throwaway line to establish Ned's absentee respect for Arthur, as well as Bran himself, is all c**t-like.
Frick Game of Thrones. I'm rewatching it right now and I just finished S1. In retrospect, it was ass. I mean it's coherent, and you can see what's on the screen, but it's about 50/50 in terms of overall quality from scene to scene.

But Arya looks exactly the same in S1 as S8 like she didn’t grow or change at all but we’re supposed to believe she’s a super powerful faceless god now.
The main issue was HBO not having the rights to it and having to be subs to d&despite dumbasses. They wanted to give them 2 full seasons to finish that shit off and they refused to rush out 6 episodes so they could make a star wars film. And then Disney sacked them from that kek, no doubt the dismal handling of season 8 and feedback made even the Mouse see they shouldn't be trusted for SHIT on anything
And yet despite their horrible managing of GoT and losing the Disney Star Wars deal, they’re running Netflix’s Three Body Problem adaptation that comes out in March. Expect to see paid articles with the headlines “What REALLY Went Wrong in GoT Season 8?”, “Was Game of Thrones’ Ending REALLY That Bad?”, “Why Game of Thrones’ Ending Was Better Than You Think”, “Why Were Internet Trolls So Mad About GoT’s Ending?”. The goal will be to take the blame off of D&D so that people will give Three Body a chance and also to mentally prep people to interpret all criticism of the adaptation as review bombing from obsessed and problematic GoT fans from /r/freefolk.
To be fair though, TBP is a finished series so as long as they adapt it with the care they gave early GoT then it could actually be decent.
She has a cute body under there why did they make her so ugly. This was way before trans-inclusive type stuff where they intentionally cast ugly people, this is just garbage art direction and costume design.
Arya is supposed to be pretty in the books, and growing prettier as she grows up, as she looks much like her late Aunt Lyanna, and has the traditional long solemn Stark features. Sansa, the person who calls her "horseface", has the rounder Tully features like Robb, and is also a thundering b***h early on.
"everyone else" being "Sansa" and "Sansa's friend Jeyne"? When Arya is put up in a keep for the night and put in a dress, the lady of the keep notes she's pretty after being cleaned up

>he forgot gendry and fat boy and that entire camp of people, including all the guards apart from the leader who suggested the disguise to her
She is noted numerous times to look like Lyanna, who was beautiful, while still looking like a Stark. Robb and Sansa have the Tully look, Jon and Arya have the Stark look (Catelyn especially hates Jon looking like a Stark), grey eyes and a long solemn face. But if an 11 year old b***hy sister is your number one source for how an 8 year old is going to grow up, you've got things covered.

Didn't Lady Smallwood compliment her as well. And that guy from the NW
>anon has memed himself into believing there were no ugly people on TV before like three years ago
Maisie was never very pretty to begin with and she only got weirder looking as she got older.
You fricking idiot. A bullet point is not the same as an ending in practice. Many aspects of the show literally aren't possible in the book and vice versa due to the mounting and expanding differences.
So you actually believe such things as say, Sansa's entire storyline in the second half of the show, which never happened in the books nor will it, would not have any effect? How about characters that don't exist in the show? Entire plotlines that don't exist in the show? Characters who are dead in the show that are alive and well in the books? None of these play any part in a single sentence bullet point being elaborated on?
>None of these play any part in a single sentence bullet point being elaborated on?

Season 5, Episode 10 is when I definitely turned on the show. I think I yelled outload several times at the tv while watching it. I was sitting there completely perplexed and confused by what the frick I was seeing. It was bad, I was thinking this must be a fake out and there must be some 4 D chess move behind it all. (there wasn't). It was like from one scene to the next, one big shock / death that makes zero logical sense. I mean the Littlefinger and Stannis actor are on record saying "I have no idea why character is doing what he is doing".
>The opening shot is like The Producers level sketch. After Stannis burned his own daughter (again makes no sense, you can get food from fishing the Long Lake that is LITERALLY RIGHT NEXT TO THEM), the snow starts melting and a warm front keeps in, but suddenly like a power point, Stannis' wife kills herself, the sellswords (nice job getting your money idiots) and Melisandre all flee and magically take all the horses with them. Stannis prepares for the siege of Winterfell, but suddenly out of nowhere this huge Bolton army comes out of nowhere and we have a battle offscreen. I guess the North really didn't remember, because why are all the houses loyal to the Boltons? I mean in the books, the Boltons are having to fortify their positions in the North with the Freys from Riverlands. So we go from an open field to a woody area and for no logical reason Brienne and Stannis are both facing each other, because the Boltons and Stannis armies don't exist anymore and Brienne kills Stannis offscreen. It was stupid, I actually thought this was a fake out and she didn't kill Stannis and the sellswords were doing some 4 d chess pincer move on the Boltons that Stannis ordered, but no. >Ramsay leaves Theon and Sansa unguarded and they jump off the castle walls of Winterfell and are fine.

>"You want a nice girl, but you need the bad pussy,", along with Jaime finally saving Myrcella, oh but she dies on the boat to King's Landing.

Wow these faces, we have reconceived the role to fit the actor. >Lena Headey CGI face slapped on that obvious body double >Jon is killed by his officers because "he let the Wildlings in", which is stupid for numerous reasons. 1. Why would you let the Wildings in and THEN kill Jon? 2. Why are you upset about letting the Wildings in when you know for a fact the White Walkers are coming and if you leave them behind the wall that is more undead for their armies for you to fight?
The Mother's Mercy, season 5, episode 10, was one of the worst episodes of GOT.
What the actual frick was the point of Jon Snow’s entire character? Other than him being able to ride on one of Dany’s dragons for a bit him being a Targaryen was utterly meaningless and went nowhere.
Possibly just exversion of subpectations. Possibly Dunkin' Donuts not knowing what to do with the story after GRRM left the project. Probably a bit of both.
Really that’s it? What is rumored in the world of bookBlack folk to be the point of Jon Snow? I thought the whole Jon Snow thing was the main point of the show.
Oh wait, I’m moronic is it simply >he’s the prince that was promise who united the kingdoms against the NK, who is supposed to be a Targ I guess
is that it?
obvious conclusions to storylines are seen as tropy and undesirable nowadays.
If you though that Frodo would actually throw the ring into the fire and safe the day you were WRONG. in modern kino Boromir comes back from the secret Rhün assassin school and drop kicks gollum into the volcano
I laughed at him ending up back at the wall, but it annoyed the shit out of me. No one pardons the dude. His reward is fricking off back to the wall. It made me hate the rest of the characters and like his only.
>back at the wall
the wall thats got a giant hole in it, the white walkers are dead, the wildlings are dead or in the 7 kingdoms, what exactly is the point of the wall now?
Seriously. And he's in a brand new kingdom even. Sansa could just pardon him and have him work for her at Winterfell since she desperately needs experienced guys to train others and lead. No one in the south would know nor could do anything about it. But nah, he'll just waste away staring at the snow
5 years later and Winds of Winter still nowhere in sight LMAO. At least now we have a Dunk and Egg show happening so he can also fail to keep up with a short story spinoff series.
Fug, there's this woman that often shops where I work, that has the same exact body as Maisie (albeit just sliiiightly thicker and tighter) down to the height.
Last summer she came in without a bra, wearing a white singlet. She came to the register right after being inside our walk-in cooler. You could see everything through the top. Perfect, firm breasts. Perfectly sized, stiff nipples. You could even make out the tiny bumps on the areolas. I've never wanted to suck on a pair of nips more than I did during that moment. Frick.
The best part is the two doofus showrunners rushed it out because they had inked a deal with Disney to made Star Wars movies and wanted to be done with GoT, but the GoT finale went over so fricking badly that Disney cancelled their movies and it completely ruined their careers since, nobody will let them near anything.
They pissed away everything for meme dialogue and shock scenes that get those youtube reactors in that bar cheering. Their Wall Street scammer background bled through but you can't just dump stocks when you're the showrunner. They had to finish first and the implosion killed their reputation and their Star Wars deal before they were in too deep for Disney to cancel.
You gotta take this literally. She's not saying Sansa is the smartest person alive or even in the top ten, just the smartest person she, Arya, has met.
Lets make a shortlist of all the people Arya has had dialogue with. I'm sure they're predominantly moronic. Tywin included, which is fanfiction anyway.
>Why does the wildfire push Davos into the sea but consume Matthos whole? >How did Stannis know Tyrion was behind the wildfire trick? >How did Stannis know that trick or something similar was not also planned or could not be recreated?
Do people actually like this episode? It's so fricking stupid. The only good parts are the tension prior to the siege and The Hound. The fight itself was so awkward and nothing made sense.
Blackwater isn't canon. What happens is Shireen Baratheon is betrothed Loras Tyrell and Robb and Stannis have a non-aggression pact to seige King's Landing by land.
D&D at the last minute realized that Jon was going to kill Dany over a disagreement over tactics like blowing though human shields to end the war quicker or killing Lannister prisoners because "they killed your brother (Robb) under a banner of truce, therefore they lost all rights to surrender". It is morally gray and ambiguous and you could see both sides of the argument. D7D panicked because they would get blamed for Dany's death, so in like two episodes they turn her into like the most evil thing in existence to make it completely uncontroversial to kill her.
Frick off Danyshitter. She was always a naive child with too much power handed over to her. Her burning of King's Landing wasn't some last minute change in character.
>crazy incest baby from a bloodthirsty family with anger amd revenge issues >oh no, she wouldnt burn anyone
You didnt even pay attention to the show, why are you so emotionally invested in defending this fictional woman?
I like how not only did this guy conjure 1,000 ships out of nowhere but they were also extremely cool looking and painted black with hand carved squids and shit on them.
>People still arguing whether dany going schizo was a rugpull or not
how the frick did you ALL miss the point of the complaint, even the complainers?
targeryen incest babies being fricking psycho is well established, and dany is near enough constantly being forced to hold back her woman rage by her advisors
HOWEVER, she genuinely did NOT want to go schizo mode and she was actually extremely capable as a leader and diplomat of the people.
the reason the ending is so bad is that she had already won. its literally that simple.
have her show up unannounced to kings landing already breathing fire before she's even weighed up the battlefield, and its suddenly 10x more in character: she's just being lazy and gunho again
but instead we get 8 seasons of dany saying she will take kings landing without burning it, she finally does, and her reaction to winning the war and having kings landing is to destroy it lol woopsie
people saying that the execution of her pal was a catalyst are also coping big time, because it hardly even effects her and she had a more visceral reaction to jons injuries north of the wall, someone she had barely known. (jon who is the main face and voice behind 'hey lets try to kill the least amount of people as possible)
its just plain as day bad writing, thats why its shit. the actual burning of the city is totally approachable as a plot point, they just chose the actual worst way to do it because 'le game of thrones its that le epic tv show with the tweeests and murders!! we must go out with a le bang!!'
kek I’ve never seen Evanjelon but I laughed my ass off at this post because I’ve come to understand Evanjelon through context without ever seeing it and picturing this meme made me laugh, lol
I miss /got/ so much. I miss hanging out & shitposting over the little fake team battles on /got/ so much. Even when my life was shit then, it felt like there was something going on, but now there's nothing to even have fun posting in anymore.
>A smile played across Euron’s blue lips. “I have taken the Silence on longer voyages than this, and ones far more hazardous. Have you forgotten? I have sailed the Smoking Sea and seen Valyria.” >“Have you?” the Reader asked, so softly. >Euron’s blue smile vanished.
The saying is that when a Targaryan is born the gods flip a coin with one side being madness and the other greatness. The saying is not "every Targaryan always goes murderously insane"
>“The bleeding star bespoke the end,” he said to Aeron. “These are the last days, when the world shall be broken and remade. A new god shall be born from the graves and charnel pits.” Then Euron lifted a great horn to his lips and blew, and dragons and krakens and sphinxes came at his command and bowed before him. “Kneel, brother,” the Crow’s Eye commanded. “I am your king, I am your god. Worship me, and I will raise you up to be my priest.” >has Valyrian steel armor >ties holy men to the prow of his ships to pray simultaneously for salvation, for a weird ritual >the modern equivalent of the Bloodstone Emperor who ushered in the Long Night
>>ties holy men to the prow of his ships to pray simultaneously for salvation, for a weird ritual
Don't forget that each is accompanied by a tongueless woman he personally knocked up. It's baffling they even included him in the show when they've literally nothing in common. Book Euron cant even be called an butthole. He's fantasy level evil. >last we see of him is his fleet sailing towards where sam is >sam might unknowingly have the horn of winter >there's a possibility that euron gets the horn or that sam uses it in an act of desperation >still don't know what the horn does
Shame we'll never see it.

Did we even get any resolution on the seasonal issue? Did they send Jon north of the Wall in the middle of a long winter or did killing the Night King end it?
>Did we even get any resolution on the seasonal issue?
No clue, but it did seem like killing NK stopped winter, which was so stupid as a story. Cersei was proven right to not help anyone, and the players of the Game of Thrones proven right to just waste everything in the face of disaster instead of coming together for the common good.
afingainthebum
I have half a mind to think Dumb & Dumber saw what a Q score goldmine Negan was for The Walking Dead and decided "we need one of those". This abrupt reformatting of Euron into a perverted discount Jack Sparrow defies any other explanation.
the end of game of thrones is kind of hilarious when you think about it
makes no fricking sense at all
like the writers got drunk at some point
the ending was gay but redditors and twitter calling it literally the worst thing ever was even gayer.
Better ending than the books
Reddit was angry about the long night and Dany becoming evil when the real problem was electing Bran as preselect. If you just stop watching the show right after Jon Snow kills Dany and the dragon flies off playing the Targaryen theme one last time it’s a perfect ending. Only thing you’re missing is Brienne of Tarth writing all of Jamie’s deeds, but oh well.
For me, the Dothraki charge was the moment when the whole thing became irredeemably shit: https://youtu.be/MCcaBYF0roE
the whole battle thingy made no sense at all
>let's us catapults, but let's put them outside the wall
and so on
If they had made the night king win, it would have been the best show ever
Not only outside the wall, but in front of the troops, so they'd be lost instantly when the enemy advanced. And that would have been a vastly better ending, yes.
That on top of the directors leaving the lens caps on the cameras.
4:51
Ah, yes.
i have never watched goT. so what happens in the ending that was so shite?
The normies favorite waifu becomes based & redpilled and they got mad about it.
>Targaryen
>Not burning people while in a revenge driven bloodrage
If anyone was surprised by that they weren't paying attention. Dany killed alot of people in painful or outright tortuous ways before this point. Burning King's Landing was completely in character.
It's the fact it came completely out of nowhere and had no built up. They could've used Missandei's death to trigger but nope... Just le bells.
It was Missandei’s death, you shithead. I mean plus a bunch of other stuff.
>They could've used Missandei's death to trigger but nope.
But it was Missandei's death that triggered it.
>you killed my servant! Ill burn you all!
Sounds like a crazy reaction but we spent the entire show being told and shown how crazy the targs and incest babies are. Did you forget that Dany was the same as joffrey or viserys?
It became brutally obvious when she started schitzing out about Jon Snow because he had the love of the people and she was horrible dragon lady.
>It's the fact it came completely out of nowhere and had no built up.
>It's the fact it came completely out of nowhere and had no built up.
You morons can't even criticise a show properly without parroting whatever bullshit opinion peddled to you by the internet. Dany was the ONE person in the shitshow of a season who was completely in character and her rampage was inevitable.
She was subtly being set up as the villain for the final part. Trouble is d&d didn't realize this and decided to give her a heel turn for no reason besides "subverting expectations"
>Out of nowhere
She's a crazy frick conqueror and had been for years.
>Oh no I named my daughter Khaleesi!
Easily the best part of season 8 loved tyrion's reaction.
Big bad undead menance the entire show was building up to becomes insanely trivialized and then it ends with them voting for a new king who is a magic cripple who then gives an anti monarchy globohomosexual speech
This sums it up. Having a roundtable discussion after your show's climax might be the worst idea of the series. Disgustingly tepid.
So...exactly what I expected from GRRM. Yes, I know he didn't write it, D&D did, but the whole impetus of ASOIAF was to shit on Tolkien, so this adds up.
The Mother of Dragons pulled an Israel & bombed all the towns people
based Israel
Found the israelite
frick israelitelon and his ~~*brain chips*~~
For starters, the show literally starts warning us of an impending world-ending threat that the show keeps pushing forward with every season only to be resolved in the second episode of the last season in the most moronic, cop-out of ways.
Then the show moves past this threat and no consequences are ever brought up again.
Watch my vid if you're curious 🙂 But the whole season was filled with stupidity courtesy of the two increasingly lazy showrunners, culminating in the election of the least suitable king imaginable, plus girl-power nonsense.
Post a link to your video here on this website where it's cool to advertise your shit-tier autistic hobby, dick breath
I'd love go to check it out and like, comment and subscribe
loll kill urself
Hey, I have other autistic hobbies 🙂
The problem with that is that they aimed for gritty realism - with some fantastical elements on the periphery - for most of the series. If improbable shit had been the order the day throughout (as opposed to a focus on political manoeuvring inspired by real-world history), then fair enough.
>Big Final Boss hyped for 7 seasons is defeated in a battle that lasts seconds.
>Cool evil Disney queen shuts up and stops scheming for the last season.
>Fire Elsa who was supposed to be the one true queen who'll give everyone peace suddenly turns crazy and burns everything and everyone.
It was particularly hilarious to watch fan reaction to the last one, considering these gays have named theit kids with the name of a genocidal pyromaniac.
culmination of 4 seasons of shit coming to a head. It was honestly as bad as the previous 3 seasons it just was so obvious how little effort they put in so even normies noticed it. The two real catalysts for normie outrage was the big bad of the entire series barely lasting an entire episode and dany living up to the Targaryen name and killing civilians with her dragon in a fit of rage
The show initially was essentially a cross between lord of the rings and the wire.
The writing, characters and dialogue went downhill after a couple of seasons. Then in the end show runners said frick all of you, crammed like 4 seasons worth of story into 8 episodes, and wrote something that more resembles a cross between antman and the wasp and lord of the rings.
Obviously a show with dragons and sword fighting is not super high brow, but considering what type of show it is, it is genuinely one of the best things ever put to screen. The casting is absolutely phenomenal, the soundtrack is probably the best of a tv show ever and the characters are incredibly compelling. Looking back it is just unbelievable how many factors came together to make this such a success, only for some hack showrunners to throw it into the garbage.
A lot of the reasons people name are moronic and the real reason is that the show got to popular with normies and homosexuals like in this thread "omg X should have never been king!". It's not that the plot itself was bad, just that they eventually shifted the show to target drooling comic book fans.
For example they included an Ed Sheeran cameo in the end
I was never angered by Ed Sheeran whoever that is showing up because to this day I still don’t know who that is, but I’m sure all of reddit seethed when he popped up. Literally just some other drunk mick broguing with the other micks around a fire.
>I’m sure all of reddit seethed when he popped up
plebbit loved it, it's just the people that weren't ignorantly in bliss (like yourself actually brags about kek) realized it was moronic mockery of everything.
>heh he doesn’t recognize celebrities what a rube
>he doesnt have to listen to popular music because too busy stuck in his goon cave to interact with real women
It's so obvious to spot incels.
Ed Sheeran is a singer-songwriter whose music is all over the radio. He writes a lot of love songs. Guaranteed you’ve heard his music in a store https://youtu.be/JGwWNGJdvx8?si=zgxNPOn7L-yRQ89e
I think his current popular song is “Bad Habits”
>The show initially was essentially a cross between lord of the rings and the wire.
lol yeah
yeah we had that debate. ed sheeran was a massive massive megastar at the time. still is to an extent. they put the camera RIGHT ON HIS FACE and had him be a singer...
normies were 100% right to shit all over that moment. it's absolutely comparable to having gordon ramsay as a chef - talk about destroying immersion
> I still don’t know who that is
liar if i put a gun to your head you'd say "SINGER! POP STAR! RED-HAIRED LITTLE GUY!" and that's all he is
> just some other drunk mick broguing with the other micks around a fire
well that's the problem, zoomer, they put an ugly little english looking guy in a show full of brauney micks
he stood out.
>having gordon ramsay as a chef
Nice analogy kek, you understand it. It's one thing have a one-off cameo. It's another to have 3 mins of airtime out of 48 and where you literally make a song for them. It's like if they had a mixologist come in make a craft beer, talk about it with all main characters and then they started selling x craft beer. Total what in the frick moment for any non-npc.
The dragon stuff was the only good part of the season. The Stark kids having plot armor and getting everything they want with little effort was antithetical to what made the series interesting. Arya surviving a brutal stabbing and going on to mass-slaughter everyone she hates without breaking a sweat, Littlefinger being defeated with no tricks up his sleeve, and so on. All the bad guys losing and all the good guys winning in the most boring ways. Fanfiction shit.
I fricking hate the Starks. Besides Jon Snow.
>good guys winning
there was only one good guy and he lost
I would have been satisfied if Gendry became king, would have been like Stannis winning in spirit.
THAT said what the FRICK?
WHY did the sacrifice Stannis only to go fight the Baratheons in the next episode and be really hurting for men? WHY didn’t they join Stannis’s attack and help that mf?
It would have made more sense if they just did away with the whole Iron Throne nonsense and just split back up into smaller kingdoms again.
they had to make shit up because the fat guy can't write those fricking books
Maybe George owned a gimp that happened to be a talented writer, but George accidentally fricked it to death in a fit of homosexual rage. A killing the goose that laid the golden eggs situation.
Explain to my why that isn't as likely as any other explanation.
They needed a united front to fight the NK and to cut down on endless wars with their neighbours
Sorry this post was worded like a moron.
Why did they not want to fight the Boltons with Stannis? Right after they were like
>We need to fight the Boltons but don’t have the men!
Seriously the frick was that?
Shireen should have lived and became Queen
That would have been fricking kino.
Never saw the body.
>the Stark kids having plot armor and getting everything they want with little effort
But that's not what happened
it wasn't especially awful, but there was a significant drop in quality since 4 seasons ago and it took normies to see the ending to finally realize
The last four seasons (of the eight season show) were BAD, but the first three were pure kino. Furthermore, there was always foreshadowing and hinting and mystery. People always said "well, maybe it will make sense in the end" or "well, maybe it will get better." With the end of season eight it was apparent that, no, thee show was not going to get better, it was bad and had been bad for years. At that point the floodgate broke and everyone who had been holding their tongue since season five came out of the woodwork.
The show was becoming more and more shit as the seasons went on, relying on all sorts of cheap hack tricks to resolve plot points, character assassinations to resolve plot points, introducing terrible characters with their own absolutely awful plots, complete breakdown of feasible rational story telling often just so they can get rid of characters they dont know what to do with anymore and cause some shock moment, or simplify things into a safer narrative. the plot also was also squeezed to permit alot of cringe inducing fanservice moments. this all and just a clear degeneration in quality of sets, design, script and direction.
now generally most normalgays gladly ate this slop up with a smile on their face. but where D+D really fricked up was their moronic twist ending of having dany just destroy everything because wouldnt that be SHOCKING? Mind you daenerys was by this point in the series already a completely insufferable pet character, but she was loved by the normalgays.
This ending was bad enough for people to even start saying "you know what, that final battle with the white walkers was bad too, and bran becoming king is dumb too!" and eventually "this final season wasnt that good!" though they more or less stop there.
honestly, im fairly convinced that the dany is evil thing was a bomb george dropped on the moronic showrunners while they were making the final season. I genuinely do not believe they would have gone for such an unsafe ending otherwise. they were probably uncertain, but whatever george said had to be genius.
Rushed nonsensical bullshit.
Although I was fine with Daenerys heel-turn.
Show had two plot points that moved the story forward:
a) Bunch of people fought for the throne. One was a woman
b) All that fighting was frivolous because a threat was coming that would kill everyone
Final season plot-gays and normal gays joined forces because b) is resolved in one episode (in an absurd way) and the woman from a) becomes crazy and, as you know, for casual audiences women can’t be portrayed as mad/evil/lacking proper judgement.
There’s also book-gays that hated the show from the get go and patricians who recognized some of the fun of the first few seasons but as the show got more popular (and everyone demanded more money), it also got incredibly sloppier. By the end, it pretty much had no fans.
he looked like he was from another show. the groomed hair for a pirate, vlothes like he was the fonz compared to everyone else, speech and mannerisms like from another time or place. was so jarring. reminddd me of that newer robij hood where they all wear modern clothes for some reason.
I thought the same. So did my friends.
When he first showed up he looked better/more appropriate. Then the next time we see him he has a lineup like Gronkowski or some shit.
Yeah. I could what they were trying to go for, but they didn't pull it off correctly.
Wasted screen time on this moron when the only good thing he did was kill the sneks.
I still get why they didn’t continue the series or at least the make final season longer. The cast and D&D really thought they were above GOT when they owe their career to it. There didn’t need to wrap everything up in just 6 episodes. They could’ve gone for at least 3 more seasons with 10 episodes each. There was still tons of book material to work with
Dumb and Dumber thought they were headed to Star Wars. Collapsed a franchise behind themselves, and lept into one that was falling apart already. Greek play levels of hubris.
hihi, feels good though
The best seasons were the ones that most closely followed the books. As soon as they started seriously taking it in their own direction people hated it more and more. How did they get such big heads over their abilities?
They suck but it doesn’t help that George wasn’t writing and he only gave them a cliffnotes version of things. I do wish they just followed book 4 and 5 properly. You can’t get rid of plots that might be superfluous like young Griff, but when D&D took full reign characters started going full moron
After that many seasons they should know how the characters ought to be portrayed. And like you said, he gave them notes on how to proceed. They weren't exactly flying blind
Both of them are children of ultra successful men, so they probably already had a fair amount of that beforehand.
they probably thought that they had come up with everything all by themselves
the show was mid though
the costumes and hair and costumes were shit
overall american garbage
the only nice touch was the story, and sometimes the acting
Even though the show shat the bed it’s still kino, ESPECIALLY next to modern day slop we get. It has great characters (and awful ones) but the whole series is worth it for Jamie Lannister. There’s always some character making the show kino in spite of itself. Every scene with Robert Baratheon. Every scene with Stannis. Every scene with Tywin. Every scene with Alistor Thorne. And yes every scene with Ramsay Bolton. Shit even small parts like Serio Ferrell. The fricking Hound. Yeah I fast forward every time Grayworm or Sandsnakes are on screen but there’s just so much relentless kino that even at its stupidest it’s still cool.
S6 was by far the worst. Nothing fricking happened. The false tension with Jon Snow and Sansa fighting. That sucked but then you have Cersei annihilating the sept and getting rid of all those annoying characters that have been boring you for 2 seasons. Kino.
They could write good scenes like Tywin and Arya and basically all of Olena scenes they just got lazy
Honestly, normies didn’t notice the shows decline in quality until it became obvious in season 7/8. If you talked to people about the show they thought things like Dorne were funny, that Arya was an awesome ninja girl, that Sansa bringing in an army without telling Jon was heroic, and that Tyrion was a hilarious and intelligent guy who “drinks and knows things”. It was only online that there was dislike from more hardcore fans. Had they even etched out a mediocre last season, the show would have remained beloved by the many and possibly syndicated. Now that the mask is off they just watch clips on Youtube to see the highlights instead of sitting through an entire episode. I bet merch sales are fricked too. In my old office there were 3 different people with GoT catch phrase mugs. I dont see any in the wild anymore.
S6 is way worse than 7/8.
>Greek play levels of hubris
This. I don't fault them for wanting to move onto something else, but then fricking hand the series off to someone who actually wants to finish it. I'm sure there were thousands of perfectly capable people who would have leapt at the opportunity to finish Game of Thrones. But D&D couldn't handle the thought of someone else doing it. They had to be the Game of Thrones guys, even if it meant ruining the series and become laughingstocks for the rest of their lives.
Most of the cast said they'd have stayed on for several more seasons. D&D were the ones who decided to frick everything up in the final stretch because they wanted to go ruin Star Wars. Then they got fired from Star Wars and have been unemployable since.
Aren’t they making Three Body Problem right now?
Yeah, and from the trailer, it looks like a shit adaptation.
>The cast and D&D really thought they were above GOT when they owe their career to it. There didn’t need to wrap everything up in just 6 episodes
this was the line that was sold but obviously it was something else
I think it was more likely costing hbo too much money
so they just said frick it
>I think it was more likely costing hbo too much money
HBO begged them to stay because they were making bank
The cast also wanted to stay. Even some of the cast members that were killed off were upset that they were killed off too soon
HBO offered them more episodes per season and even as many seasons as they deemed fit in order to do it right.
HBO got asked if all the piracy was hurting their subscriber sales, since it was the most pirated show in the world at the time and they said "lol nope!"
DnD specifically asked for less episodes per season and then less seasons overall
>build me 1,000 ships
might have been the most ridiculous thing that happened in the series
Stupider than making a democratic monarchy?
Alright frick you besides he SHITTY ass end of it when they vote for kings.
Why was Gendry even a character at all outside of wasting the viewer’s time if he wasn’t gonna be king in the end? And they set him up with Arya how weren’t they the king and queen? the frick?
Show Gendry is the culmination of rolling up all of Robert's bastards into a single character, much like Show Euron is all of Theon's uncles.
Bringing Gendry back was just more useless fan service. Reintroducing a character that hasn’t been relevant for five seasons is not a plot twist. It’s just bad writing. It’s incredible how good the show was through season 4:
>the hound’s redemption arc culminating in Arya’s first kill
>Tyrion’s trial & monologue
>the mountain crushing the bisexual’s skull with his bare hands
>Jaime returning to kings landing
None of the characters or their stories mattered much after this point.
>bring back edmure for 3 minutes just to shit on him
Tsd not happening is my biggest game of thrones regret.
1000 ships would take decades to build. it took 1 to 2 years for a large ship in middle ages to be built. the logistics of a thousand ships and finding capable sailors and captains would be insane.
>decades
that's extremely optimistic, if not completely dellusive
Sorry, I'm not really interested in discussing the logic of 1000 ships in a show with magic and dragons.
>if there are supernatural elements then nothing needs to make sense
You're legitimately moronic
That’s the lefty/reddit defense that they always use to defend Nuwars and shit.
I sometimes bring it up in GoT threads because I know enough people will swallow the bait
But those characters didn’t have access to any ship-making magic…
Sorry, not interested.
someone bring in the bmw
Pretty sure hes referencing this
Yes. By orders of magnitude.
>By orders of magnitude.
Go back
Those existed.
Elective monarchies was a real thing.
Sweden was one until the Kalmar union for example.
im so sorry
>oh yeah, there's this based sea warlock character that we're looking to introduce in the coming season
>nice. let's cast that fat, lazy eyed danish guy to play him
Such a weird fricking character like the books have him as the Anti-Christ but in the show he's an afterthought whose final scene is him smugly looking at the camera bragging that he stabbed Jamie Lannister
*deep sigh*
>what if instead of this esoteric magic man we just made him like a methed out biker but with a ship?
Bravo d&d.
too much work
Wow. I forgot all about this gay anime shit. Makes The Dorkstar seem serious by comparison.
>Wow. I forgot all about this gay anime shit.
Why was everyone so mad at this? Who gives a frick?
>hes… dual wielding while surrounded by like 8 comparatively skilled opponents im going insane!
What did you guys want to happen here? Didn’t this guy’s death get cheesed by that sneak attack from the dude he thought was dead already either way and Ned stark never actually beat him?
DUAL WIELD
Looks like you're the one losing his shit here
>8 comparatively skilled opponents
Hes the fricking sword of the morning you lorelet. He has more skill than all of them combined.
>Sword of the morning? Too bad I work the graveyard shift. *SHANK*
>why doesnt our show have time travel, this would be the perfect line for Arya right before she saves her father!
Still better writing than D&D.
Well Ned Stark was in the fruckus and he’s a deadly warrior, plus all those other guys who I assume are bad ass if Ned picked them to go on this mission. Not even the hound fricked up that many people so easily, that was definitely the highest power level the show went, Arthur Dane easily slaughtering those other guys. Ned Stark + 1 of his men together would have raped Jamie Lannister or Brienne of Tarth or some shit. Dane battled that whole battalion alone.
>greatest most skilled most famous most legendary knight ever such wow
>defeated the kingswood brotherhood
>got killed like an idiot
>end of feats
amazing story really, the worldbuilding here is just something else, such a rich setting mah gawd
The litmus test is Barristan Selmy did fight in a shit tons of wars and says Dayne was better.
I don’t care how autistic it is. If Arthur Dayne is going to be shown on screen, fricking give him Dawn. This is the most legendary knight ever, wielding probably the most legendary sword ever, and he looks like a fricking moron swinging around two sticks. D&D must be boiled alive.
Because he has a badass greatsword so legendary it mogs even famous valyrian blades. Why fricking remove that. Just have him ddo some fancy ass greatsword overhead spins like they describe dudes with zweihanders doing. Like pier donia taking out five guys head's with one swing.
That was shit too. How you can post that and then cry about Euron not showing up cosplaying as Guts is fricking insane. Grow taste.
>why isn't my medieval fantasy show more grounded in reality?
>What's Aragorns tax policy?"
Fricker brought it upon himself.
What the frick are you talking about. You complained about dumb anime shit from the book not showing up and then complain about a dumb anime swordfight that wasnt in the book. Make up your mind.
I wasn't complaining you stupid dolt. I was posting an example of anime-tier bullshit being in the show, you're the one arguing anime-tier bullshit not being in the show was the right call. Fricking moron.
Yes I called that shit too and your ass conveniently ignored that. Why are you so worked up. Was Euron jumping off a crashed ship and slaughtering the femoids not dark and edgy enough for you. Should he have screamed out his attack names like a chuuni. b***h ass homosexual.
>Ello you salty c**ts. Time for a toiste of moi DROWNED GOD BARRAGE!
Would this have made the scene more or less kino?
If you don't want anime-tier shit in your anime-tier fantasy show then watch something else and be done with it, fricking prat. I for one would've liked my tv show adaptation of a book more properly adapted, you c**t fricking bastard.
>throws a b***hfit because one characters outfit wasnt lore accurate
Did you also cry about Dany not wearing her bunny ear dress or Tyrion not looking like a midge klaus klinski. Fricking nonce shit.
Yes. They should have had tyrion doing acrobatics and actually get his nose cut off, not just get a squall scar.
Even george forgot about the jester deeplore.
I think Dinkydwarf was just too lazy to do those scenes. Maybe he took exception to them since theyre about being a midget clown when he sees himself as a serious regular sized actor
To be fair, that was only present in like his first scene in the book and was quickly dropped as GRRM changed his mind on that front and had Tyrion be an average midge physically.
He does it again after hes exiled. He puts on shows with the dwarf woman Penny and her pig. Something that was cut from the tv series.
You kind of have to cut that part if you're not going to use Eygon (Young Griff) in the show that all just a catalyst for meeting him. Granted I might be misremembering and Penny might have been introduced after Eygon and Cottington.
>shits his panties because someone's opinion is a show be more like the source material
But go on, tell us how this show with dragons and zombies having magical armor is too much, you dumb fricking twat.
So how did the battle go in the books then?
Arthur Dayne with Dawn is agreed upon by everyone to be the best swordsman in Westeros. In the books, it's heavily implied that Howland Reed used some weird Crannogmen magic to disable Arthur Dayne, allowing Eddard Stark to kill him.
Whatever, I just think you guys are all gays who seethe at the Dane scene. Just from what you guys posted it’s the same thing beat for beat in show/book just cut short in the show.
What pissed me off is jobbing Hound to Brienne. I’m still seething.
The point is that he was most known for having a super unique Greatsword made from a meteorite, "pale as milkglass" that while wielding it he is undefeatable.
Dawn being Arthur Dayne's Greatsword and being so special was brought up multiple times in the books. Instead the show has him duel wield two random swords, taking away the sword that he's known for using.
The sword is also only supposed to be passed down to those that carry the title of "The Sword in the Morning" in their family, and Eddard Stark even returned the sword to Ashara Dayne after the events of The Tower of Joy, in respect.
Not him, but to be completely and utterly fair, I'm pretty sure none of those lore elements or plot points were ever mentioned or were intended to be adapted. So if Dawn has no real context, who gives a frick? All that matters are the characters and the stories, everything else is largely interchangeable with no real harm. Similar to how different writers have used different creative interpretations for the witch's prophecies in Macbeth.
THAT ALL BEING SAID, the Tower of Joy sequence was fricking stupid as hell and the twin sabers looked dumb as frick and were clearly props. The choreography was made so that everybody was swinging at each other's swords, which is why it looked like Arthur Dayne was a fricking Jedi. Ned was a c**t. Lyanna was a c**t. Arthur Dayne was a respectable c**t. Bran's throwaway line to establish Ned's absentee respect for Arthur, as well as Bran himself, is all c**t-like.
Frick Game of Thrones. I'm rewatching it right now and I just finished S1. In retrospect, it was ass. I mean it's coherent, and you can see what's on the screen, but it's about 50/50 in terms of overall quality from scene to scene.
>In the books, it's heavily implied that Howland Reed used some weird Crannogmen magic to disable Arthur Dayne
All the books says is that he saved Ned’s life.
>Weird Crannogmen magic
That's what they call pissing and squirting shit with uncanny accuracy into the eyes of their enemies. Why do you think Bran is so horny for Meera or whatever? He's seen her snipe a swallow from the sky with a stream of concentrated piss
Books:
>“I looked for you on the Trident,” Ned said to them.
>“We were not there,” Ser Gerold answered.
>“Woe to the Usurper if we had been,” said Ser Oswell.
>“When King's Landing fell, Ser Jaime slew your king with a golden sword, and I wondered where you were.”
>“Far away,” Ser Gerold said, “or Aerys would yet sit the Iron Throne, and our false brother would burn in seven hells.”
>“I came down on Storm's End to lift the siege,” Ned told them, and the Lords Tyrell and Redwyne dipped their banners, and all their knights bent the knee to pledge us fealty. I was certain you would be among them.”
>“Our knees do not bend easily,” said Ser Arthur Dayne.
>“Ser Willem Darry is fled to Dragonstone, with your queen and Prince Viserys. I thought you might have sailed with him.”
>“Ser Willem is a good man and true,” said Ser Oswell.
>“But not of the Kingsguard,” Ser Gerold pointed out. “The Kingsguard does not flee.”
>“Then or now,” said Ser Arthur. He donned his helm.
>“We swore a vow,” explained old Ser Gerold.
>Ned’s wraiths moved up beside him, with shadow swords in hand. They were seven against three.
>“And now it begins,” said Ser Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning. He unsheathed Dawn and held it with both hands. The blade was pale as milkglass, alive with light.
>“No,” Ned said with sadness in his voice. “Now it ends.”
Show:
>Lord Stark.
>I looked for you on the Trident.
>We weren't there.
>Your friend the usurper would lie beneath the ground if we had been.
>The Mad King is dead. Rhaegar lies beneath the ground. Why weren't you there to protect your prince?
>Our prince wanted us here.
>Where's my sister?
>I wish you good fortune in the wars to come. And now it begins.
>No. Now it ends.
Sad.
>First words Arthur Dayne ever speaks are “Our knees do not bend easily”
show was better lol
>le spinning sword
>le twisting body
>le running around
modern sword and sorcery writers deserved to be hanged
>The audio book pronounces "Damphair" as "Damfair"
That annoyed me.
The Ironborn and their crazy ass religion were all pretty based.
I liked all the different candidates at the Kingsmoot.
They lean a lot more into fantasy schlock instead of pretending to be "realistic" or "historical" in any way.
I’m an animeonly and I always thought Euron was pretty cool.
>took the salt throne for the iron price
>ganked the sand bawds
>shot down that dragon
>bad ass

>big wiener
>bigger than dom

I enjoyed his screentime.
His screentime was the only good screentime in the last 4 seasons but it's still dogshit compared to what it's already been in the books
>weeb
>dogshit taste
color me surprised
unless this was bait. then i guess congratulations, i took it
>weeb
What? And yeah without any reference I thought the Euron I perceived was pretty cool.
i intensely disagree with you but to each his own
So in your opinion you just thought he was a homosexual? Can you remove yourself and form an opinion of him from a third party perspective without taking his portrayal in the books into account?
how the frick do i remove myself from my opinion on a character?
the book character is completely different, they're the same in name only
he's an annoying edgy butthole "lol lets kill my family im gonna frick the queen"'
just shitty juvenile writing, every time he does anything it's *teleports behind you* to whomever he bests or kills.
You could've just called him badass.
this potrayal of his character and how they shoehorned bronn into being king boss is literal proof of how they cant write for shit
my headcanon is that he was meant to be victarion
and daario was meant to be euron
Euron "threw the egg into the sea" by giving it to the Faceless Men for killing his brother (throwing him into the sea).
For me it was the fact he was wearing a hipster jacket from River Island summer collection
Whatever art style this is, “Disney/jew/calart@ whatever, Jesus whoever perpetuates this shit needs to be killed.
Sadly, the entire board game/tabletop industry is full of this shite.
>pronouns
>for characters that lived in a galaxy far far away
I get that start wars has long been shit, but injecting "current year" politics into fiction (especially scifi/fantasy) shows makes me so fricking angry.
THINGS BLOWING UP YEAAAAH WOOOOO
KEK ALL THE SOIBOI’S FACES DROPPED WHEN FANTASY HILLARY CLINTON GOES APESHIT
These people are precisely what ruined the show. The show obviously tried to appeal to the clapping mouthbreather. I will never forgive normies for ruining this
pretty much this exactly.
the show going heckin VIRAL :O after the red wedding immediately spelled its death.
nothing but pandering to twitter soiboys from then on
let the soi flow
can you spot the trannie
wtf morons they're obviously not watching the show
I miss these threads. Wasn't there a big tittied b***h named bessie? Also the "from the dusty mesa" poster.
I know the show upped the EPIC moments.
but i dont see how season 8 panders to these people or anybody tbh
a season for nobody
Reminder his jacket is full of stars.
>GOT season 8 was 6 years ago
Who is that and what pizza is that?
sex with lukebro
Arya could have worked as a character if she grew up. What if Arya was a little taller and extremely hot with a cool costume. No one would have been mad. But Arya looks exactly the same in S1 as S8 like she didn’t grow or change at all but we’re supposed to believe she’s a super powerful faceless god now.
Thats what happens when you cast a chromosomally challenged fas child actress.
*this playing in her mind*

The main issue was HBO not having the rights to it and having to be subs to d&despite dumbasses. They wanted to give them 2 full seasons to finish that shit off and they refused to rush out 6 episodes so they could make a star wars film. And then Disney sacked them from that kek, no doubt the dismal handling of season 8 and feedback made even the Mouse see they shouldn't be trusted for SHIT on anything
And yet despite their horrible managing of GoT and losing the Disney Star Wars deal, they’re running Netflix’s Three Body Problem adaptation that comes out in March. Expect to see paid articles with the headlines “What REALLY Went Wrong in GoT Season 8?”, “Was Game of Thrones’ Ending REALLY That Bad?”, “Why Game of Thrones’ Ending Was Better Than You Think”, “Why Were Internet Trolls So Mad About GoT’s Ending?”. The goal will be to take the blame off of D&D so that people will give Three Body a chance and also to mentally prep people to interpret all criticism of the adaptation as review bombing from obsessed and problematic GoT fans from /r/freefolk.
To be fair though, TBP is a finished series so as long as they adapt it with the care they gave early GoT then it could actually be decent.
i enjoyed cartoon villain euron, possibly the only redeeming thing about the later seasons
She has a cute body under there why did they make her so ugly. This was way before trans-inclusive type stuff where they intentionally cast ugly people, this is just garbage art direction and costume design.
>why did they make her so ugly.
Bro her face does that just fine on its own
>why is the actress playing Arya "horseface" Stark ugly
A mystery to be sure.
Arya is supposed to be pretty in the books, and growing prettier as she grows up, as she looks much like her late Aunt Lyanna, and has the traditional long solemn Stark features. Sansa, the person who calls her "horseface", has the rounder Tully features like Robb, and is also a thundering b***h early on.
Don't call my princess a b***h
Awful fan art
>pretty
eh
Cope. Only her parents call her pretty while everyone else either makes fun of her appearance or flat out mistake her for a boy
"everyone else" being "Sansa" and "Sansa's friend Jeyne"? When Arya is put up in a keep for the night and put in a dress, the lady of the keep notes she's pretty after being cleaned up
>he forgot gendry and fat boy and that entire camp of people, including all the guards apart from the leader who suggested the disguise to her
She is noted numerous times to look like Lyanna, who was beautiful, while still looking like a Stark. Robb and Sansa have the Tully look, Jon and Arya have the Stark look (Catelyn especially hates Jon looking like a Stark), grey eyes and a long solemn face. But if an 11 year old b***hy sister is your number one source for how an 8 year old is going to grow up, you've got things covered.
Didn't Lady Smallwood compliment her as well. And that guy from the NW
Yes.
>anon has memed himself into believing there were no ugly people on TV before like three years ago
Maisie was never very pretty to begin with and she only got weirder looking as she got older.
>This was way before trans-inclusive type stuff
The one the glavset skullfricked into you, you useful moron? Great work.
…what?
>YEAAAAAAAH BOSS KWEEN VS BOSS KWEEN SLAYYYYYYYYY
we were robbed
And the fat frick will never finish it
The show ending was GRRMs, lol
You were spared having to read it
You fricking idiot. A bullet point is not the same as an ending in practice. Many aspects of the show literally aren't possible in the book and vice versa due to the mounting and expanding differences.
Your can keep coping on the fat man's behalf, but it's not gonna change the ending lol (which we'll never get anyways)
So you actually believe such things as say, Sansa's entire storyline in the second half of the show, which never happened in the books nor will it, would not have any effect? How about characters that don't exist in the show? Entire plotlines that don't exist in the show? Characters who are dead in the show that are alive and well in the books? None of these play any part in a single sentence bullet point being elaborated on?
>None of these play any part in a single sentence bullet point being elaborated on?
Correct
Fat man wrote himself into the same corner as D&D, he just can't take the same shortcuts they did
Is Bronn the deadliest fighter in Westeros? I feel like he’d make short work of Arya and Brienne.
In the show: second deadliest. Arya's plot power puts her in first place.
twenty good men
ahgggg brienne....
bronn the coinmaster
who else is better suited than brann??
crazy bells
big bad mega boss - nothing personell kid
sanshaa.. pleashe have mershy!

and the list goes on and on and on....

And people think season 8 is the "ending" unironically.
SANNNNNNNNNNNNNNSAAAAAAAAA
>bronn I, Cersei, want to murder my treasonous brothers

>no strangled by the younger sibling prophecy
Season 5, Episode 10 is when I definitely turned on the show. I think I yelled outload several times at the tv while watching it. I was sitting there completely perplexed and confused by what the frick I was seeing. It was bad, I was thinking this must be a fake out and there must be some 4 D chess move behind it all. (there wasn't). It was like from one scene to the next, one big shock / death that makes zero logical sense. I mean the Littlefinger and Stannis actor are on record saying "I have no idea why character is doing what he is doing".
>The opening shot is like The Producers level sketch. After Stannis burned his own daughter (again makes no sense, you can get food from fishing the Long Lake that is LITERALLY RIGHT NEXT TO THEM), the snow starts melting and a warm front keeps in, but suddenly like a power point, Stannis' wife kills herself, the sellswords (nice job getting your money idiots) and Melisandre all flee and magically take all the horses with them. Stannis prepares for the siege of Winterfell, but suddenly out of nowhere this huge Bolton army comes out of nowhere and we have a battle offscreen. I guess the North really didn't remember, because why are all the houses loyal to the Boltons? I mean in the books, the Boltons are having to fortify their positions in the North with the Freys from Riverlands. So we go from an open field to a woody area and for no logical reason Brienne and Stannis are both facing each other, because the Boltons and Stannis armies don't exist anymore and Brienne kills Stannis offscreen. It was stupid, I actually thought this was a fake out and she didn't kill Stannis and the sellswords were doing some 4 d chess pincer move on the Boltons that Stannis ordered, but no.
>Ramsay leaves Theon and Sansa unguarded and they jump off the castle walls of Winterfell and are fine.
Continued...
>"You want a nice girl, but you need the bad pussy,", along with Jaime finally saving Myrcella, oh but she dies on the boat to King's Landing. The laziest writing every is to kill off plot lines by just killing off characters for the shock value.
>Trant is a pedophile, because we got to make him so super evil that it looks amazing when Arya kills him.
>We need to have Jonathan Pryce / High Sparrow and Cersei / Lena Headey in a small room together emoting with their faces, with the camera zooming in on their faces, just like Stephen Dillane / Stannis making powerful emoting faces while facing the Bolton army / Brienne. Wow these faces, we have reconceived the role to fit the actor.
>Lena Headey CGI face slapped on that obvious body double
>Jon is killed by his officers because "he let the Wildlings in", which is stupid for numerous reasons. 1. Why would you let the Wildings in and THEN kill Jon? 2. Why are you upset about letting the Wildings in when you know for a fact the White Walkers are coming and if you leave them behind the wall that is more undead for their armies for you to fight?
The Mother's Mercy, season 5, episode 10, was one of the worst episodes of GOT.
What the actual frick was the point of Jon Snow’s entire character? Other than him being able to ride on one of Dany’s dragons for a bit him being a Targaryen was utterly meaningless and went nowhere.
Possibly just exversion of subpectations. Possibly Dunkin' Donuts not knowing what to do with the story after GRRM left the project. Probably a bit of both.
Really that’s it? What is rumored in the world of bookBlack folk to be the point of Jon Snow? I thought the whole Jon Snow thing was the main point of the show.
Oh wait, I’m moronic is it simply
>he’s the prince that was promise who united the kingdoms against the NK, who is supposed to be a Targ I guess
is that it?
he's supposed to die and become a shadow of his former self as an animated fire puppet of Melisandre.
He’s supposed to die with Bran taking over his body and assuming his identity.
obvious conclusions to storylines are seen as tropy and undesirable nowadays.
If you though that Frodo would actually throw the ring into the fire and safe the day you were WRONG. in modern kino Boromir comes back from the secret Rhün assassin school and drop kicks gollum into the volcano
Frodo doesn’t toss the ring into the fire, Gollum trips and falls with it.
I laughed at him ending up back at the wall, but it annoyed the shit out of me. No one pardons the dude. His reward is fricking off back to the wall. It made me hate the rest of the characters and like his only.
>back at the wall
the wall thats got a giant hole in it, the white walkers are dead, the wildlings are dead or in the 7 kingdoms, what exactly is the point of the wall now?
Seriously. And he's in a brand new kingdom even. Sansa could just pardon him and have him work for her at Winterfell since she desperately needs experienced guys to train others and lead. No one in the south would know nor could do anything about it. But nah, he'll just waste away staring at the snow
5 years later and Winds of Winter still nowhere in sight LMAO. At least now we have a Dunk and Egg show happening so he can also fail to keep up with a short story spinoff series.
>being excited about another hbo show after the ending of got and the niggifying of hotd
Some people will love any old shit you give them
would
Is that even Maisie?
oh yea, so hot
It is Moner, it's a meme to pretend they're similar
What a strange meme
Fug, there's this woman that often shops where I work, that has the same exact body as Maisie (albeit just sliiiightly thicker and tighter) down to the height.
Last summer she came in without a bra, wearing a white singlet. She came to the register right after being inside our walk-in cooler. You could see everything through the top. Perfect, firm breasts. Perfectly sized, stiff nipples. You could even make out the tiny bumps on the areolas. I've never wanted to suck on a pair of nips more than I did during that moment. Frick.
>lol I just remembered the last season of Game of Thrones
quick. Tell us every thought you think.
it wasn't as bad as people make out but it was clear they were rushing, and the show deserved better.
The best part is the two doofus showrunners rushed it out because they had inked a deal with Disney to made Star Wars movies and wanted to be done with GoT, but the GoT finale went over so fricking badly that Disney cancelled their movies and it completely ruined their careers since, nobody will let them near anything.
I stopped watching after they killed the night king. There was no point after that, as it was just a cat fight between two b***hes.
Total shit show.
>burns entire city
>I know a killer when I see one
>under attack by dudes who can raise the dead
>LET'S HIDE IN THE CRYPTS
It annoyed the shit out of me that the night king was completely immune to dragonfire but immediately jobs to Valyrian steel for some reason
lol I just remembered House of Air
https://vimeo.com/200672866
They pissed away everything for meme dialogue and shock scenes that get those youtube reactors in that bar cheering. Their Wall Street scammer background bled through but you can't just dump stocks when you're the showrunner. They had to finish first and the implosion killed their reputation and their Star Wars deal before they were in too deep for Disney to cancel.
this guy would have been a way better character if he had any muscle at all
"Nailed it" - Benioff
You gotta take this literally. She's not saying Sansa is the smartest person alive or even in the top ten, just the smartest person she, Arya, has met.
Lets make a shortlist of all the people Arya has had dialogue with. I'm sure they're predominantly moronic. Tywin included, which is fanfiction anyway.
>Tywin included, which is fanfiction anyway.
To be fair, they replaced Tywin with Roose Bolton, who is also super high IQ.
>Why does the wildfire push Davos into the sea but consume Matthos whole?
>How did Stannis know Tyrion was behind the wildfire trick?
>How did Stannis know that trick or something similar was not also planned or could not be recreated?
Do people actually like this episode? It's so fricking stupid. The only good parts are the tension prior to the siege and The Hound. The fight itself was so awkward and nothing made sense.
Blackwater isn't canon. What happens is Shireen Baratheon is betrothed Loras Tyrell and Robb and Stannis have a non-aggression pact to seige King's Landing by land.
Subpar bait, try again
>Your grace, here are the human shields we will forget about in the next episode because this was cut at the last minute.
QRD?
D&D at the last minute realized that Jon was going to kill Dany over a disagreement over tactics like blowing though human shields to end the war quicker or killing Lannister prisoners because "they killed your brother (Robb) under a banner of truce, therefore they lost all rights to surrender". It is morally gray and ambiguous and you could see both sides of the argument. D7D panicked because they would get blamed for Dany's death, so in like two episodes they turn her into like the most evil thing in existence to make it completely uncontroversial to kill her.
Frick off Danyshitter. She was always a naive child with too much power handed over to her. Her burning of King's Landing wasn't some last minute change in character.
>breaker of chains
>this isn't a last minute change
>despite the evidence showing it was.
>crazy incest baby from a bloodthirsty family with anger amd revenge issues
>oh no, she wouldnt burn anyone
You didnt even pay attention to the show, why are you so emotionally invested in defending this fictional woman?
>dany crucify masters
>feeds men to dragons knowing they may not be evil
Yeah a totally sane woman m8
Have you even watched the show?
I accept that anons have a lot of wild theories about this show but I've never seen anyone filtered this hard by it
>They can live in my new world or they can die in their old one
And here she was supposedly sane
>bookfans go on about all the cool stuff their favorite characters do
>two israelite showrunners cut it all out for more simulated snuff
Why are israelites so awful?
It is simply their nature. Racists were really just realists all this time.
What was it about that season that filtered so many midwits?
>game of thrones is almost over
FRICK am I gonna rewatch AGAIN and start from S1? On S7 rn
I like how not only did this guy conjure 1,000 ships out of nowhere but they were also extremely cool looking and painted black with hand carved squids and shit on them.
Show Euron was better than that cringe character GRRM made. I hope Garlan or Greysteel kills Euron when the time comes
Bad bait, I can believe you thinking book euron is cringe, but the show made one even cringier lol
>le edgy guy number 74
Yeah, Book Euron is cringe. The Reader was based for shitting on his lie
>People still arguing whether dany going schizo was a rugpull or not
how the frick did you ALL miss the point of the complaint, even the complainers?
targeryen incest babies being fricking psycho is well established, and dany is near enough constantly being forced to hold back her woman rage by her advisors
HOWEVER, she genuinely did NOT want to go schizo mode and she was actually extremely capable as a leader and diplomat of the people.
the reason the ending is so bad is that she had already won. its literally that simple.
have her show up unannounced to kings landing already breathing fire before she's even weighed up the battlefield, and its suddenly 10x more in character: she's just being lazy and gunho again
but instead we get 8 seasons of dany saying she will take kings landing without burning it, she finally does, and her reaction to winning the war and having kings landing is to destroy it lol woopsie
people saying that the execution of her pal was a catalyst are also coping big time, because it hardly even effects her and she had a more visceral reaction to jons injuries north of the wall, someone she had barely known. (jon who is the main face and voice behind 'hey lets try to kill the least amount of people as possible)
its just plain as day bad writing, thats why its shit. the actual burning of the city is totally approachable as a plot point, they just chose the actual worst way to do it because 'le game of thrones its that le epic tv show with the tweeests and murders!! we must go out with a le bang!!'
>targeryen incest babies being fricking psycho
That's not how that works you ableist piece of shit.

Anyone have the Tyrion & Jon looking at Dany's giant head End of Evangelion meme?
kek I’ve never seen Evanjelon but I laughed my ass off at this post because I’ve come to understand Evanjelon through context without ever seeing it and picturing this meme made me laugh, lol
I miss /got/ so much. I miss hanging out & shitposting over the little fake team battles on /got/ so much. Even when my life was shit then, it felt like there was something going on, but now there's nothing to even have fun posting in anymore.
yeah there's nothing genuinely good in culture now
>A smile played across Euron’s blue lips. “I have taken the Silence on longer voyages than this, and ones far more hazardous. Have you forgotten? I have sailed the Smoking Sea and seen Valyria.”
>“Have you?” the Reader asked, so softly.
>Euron’s blue smile vanished.
The saying is that when a Targaryan is born the gods flip a coin with one side being madness and the other greatness. The saying is not "every Targaryan always goes murderously insane"
normie is newer
normie as a word is older than Cinemaphile, the ghouls in fallout 1 call you normie
>“The bleeding star bespoke the end,” he said to Aeron. “These are the last days, when the world shall be broken and remade. A new god shall be born from the graves and charnel pits.” Then Euron lifted a great horn to his lips and blew, and dragons and krakens and sphinxes came at his command and bowed before him. “Kneel, brother,” the Crow’s Eye commanded. “I am your king, I am your god. Worship me, and I will raise you up to be my priest.”
>has Valyrian steel armor
>ties holy men to the prow of his ships to pray simultaneously for salvation, for a weird ritual
>the modern equivalent of the Bloodstone Emperor who ushered in the Long Night
The show
>FINGER IN DA BUM XDDDD
>>ties holy men to the prow of his ships to pray simultaneously for salvation, for a weird ritual
Don't forget that each is accompanied by a tongueless woman he personally knocked up. It's baffling they even included him in the show when they've literally nothing in common. Book Euron cant even be called an butthole. He's fantasy level evil.
>last we see of him is his fleet sailing towards where sam is
>sam might unknowingly have the horn of winter
>there's a possibility that euron gets the horn or that sam uses it in an act of desperation
>still don't know what the horn does
Shame we'll never see it.
Did we even get any resolution on the seasonal issue? Did they send Jon north of the Wall in the middle of a long winter or did killing the Night King end it?
>Did we even get any resolution on the seasonal issue?
No clue, but it did seem like killing NK stopped winter, which was so stupid as a story. Cersei was proven right to not help anyone, and the players of the Game of Thrones proven right to just waste everything in the face of disaster instead of coming together for the common good.
Dorne was such trash
