No, because I stopped watching after season 4 sucked so hard. I tried starting s5 a couple years later and it was even worse, so I turned 360 degrees and never looked back
They had two different actors playing Gregor before Hafthor and they were both taller and older than him, but they were also slim which would be too reasonable for Dumb & Dumber, in their childish brains they needed a roidmonster for the villain.
The real problem was hiring such an old actor for the Hound. He's supposed to be a 28 year old. Basically a young adult Todoroki: scarred, edgy, but fairy atractive. Sansa is both scared AND aroused by him
God I remember these fat c**ts Kek
What was the shit that went down with the fat prostitute with green hair, did she try to sue the bar for some reason?
they dont even think, i honestly envy their ability to just see shit and gobble it up without a single complaint
For me, it's this scene
The climax of the series, 8 seasons of build up to the white walkers, and this stupid fricking midget literally fricking nothing personal teleports in
Absolutely unfathomable how she could have gotten passed all the zombies, white walkers, literally in a circle around the night king, with several meters between them and him, literally impossible. Not even some stupid justification like she used a wight/white walker face, which I also would have hated, but at least kind of makes sense. I would have rolled my eyes at how stupid it was, but at least it makes sense and builds upon the story and is a tenuously physically possible thing within the context of the show
but nope
she just teleports in
probably thrown for the shot by some crew member
years later and I'm still fricking mad
its the whole episode, the whole fricking episode it felt like i was waiting for something and at the end, virtually every action moment their is something legitimately wrong, from the charge, to the moronation of trying to fight on the outside walls, to the no wall defenses to random shit like jamie just yelling "draw' despite calling the archers down, to jon not being able to catch a walking night king then being surrounded quite literally suffocating levels of surrounding only to appear unscathed and then finally the autstic screeching, ive left out so much you also had the ironborn suddenly being great archers and being storm by dozens of zombies only to be completely fine and then you got useless fricking bran there is too much there is so much more wrong with this episode its genuinely the worst episode in television and its not even a debate
I really appreciated how they have even shown that Children circle rune thingy in S8 as if Bran or the whole crap would be relevant after all the backstory and references, but Lord Cripple just literally chills there, does some bird warging and that's it. And he was beautiful.
I agree with everything you said but the ironborn are supposed to be really good archers. It never comes up except for one throw away line from s1. Still ridiculous how it was portrayed though
yea you see when boy meets a girl and they like each other they may show some forms of affection towards each other, they become a boy-friend (not to confuse with fren) and girl-friend and sometimes they hold hands
Yep I remember reddit ignoring how shitty season 7 was and being hyped for season 8. Then after 8 came out they b***hed about how bad it was and ignored the fact that season 7 was just as bad and the season before was only slightly less shitty. I think what bothered me the most was how much fan service there was towards the end of the show. The part that really lost me was when the group of fan favorites go up north to catch a wight. Holy shit full of cringy references to previous seasons it was just awful.
I really should have stopped at season 4 or 5, it's just that 5 and 6 were bad but there was hope things would get better. I tried to rewatch the show a few months ago and cringed my way through season 6 just because I wanted to see how hard they dropped the ball but I just couldn't get past the battle of the bastards so stupid. That was another reddit fan favorite. I loved the fricking bullshit phalanx or whatever Ramsay's forces do that was so silly.

I thought the Hound was a great character the parts with him and Arya traveling through the war torn country was one of the best parts of the show. The show would have been way better if it stayed more grounded and focused more on what was going on with the people of Westeros, seeing the carnage of war and all the destruction and how the peasants lives are effected and the general lifestyle of medieval europeans. That plus political intrigue with the nobles is all you really needed not the le epic battles or all the magic shit. The white walkers were cool until they actually came out of the ice closet and weren't mysterious anymore. Nobody gives a frick about the homosexual wood kids up north and their three eyed pedo or moronic CGI dragons. Did HBO Rome even have one major battle scene? Only thing I remember was a small scale skirmish at the beginning where Pullo and Vorenus are fighting against Gauls. Imagine if Rome got 8 seasons...

They did have one "big" battle scene, the one where Brutus dies, but it was nowhere near the scale of the GoT battles.
>bro like, hear me out, 'member that Lich King cinematic with the roaring undead dragon, what if, hehe, what if we did that too? >duuuude yeeeah, we could also explain how that whole fricking army just crossed the Wall overnight
I admired the NK's foresight for preparing giant fricking chains so the zombies could lift a whole dragon from the lake in case one shows up and gets oneshot by an ice javelin.
That and imo the fact that it was massively spoilered also played a part, everyone had months to come to terms with it and it mostly looked good on paper
>the fact that it was massively spoilered also played a part
It's crazy how close to the actual plot people were able to piece together just from the trailers and set photos. I remember spending hours reading blog posts that were trying to piece everything together.
i felt it getting bad during the nightswatch battle where ygritte dies. when they used the long tracking shot during the fight i could see them making spectacle more and more of a priority.
I see what you mean but I thought it was basically the only good battle in the show, I guess blackwater bay is pretty good too both for the same reason, you actually cared about both sides of the fight and the characters fighting. The nights watch and wildlings had a bunch of likable characters like the Thane guy was a great fricking villain. Same with the blackwater bay Tyrion wasn't a complete gay yet and it was hard to not like Davos even if Stannis wasn't a charismatic character. But yeah the big battles are one of the most boring aspects of the show even the two I just mentioned.
Actually Danys entire storyline is the most boring aspect of the show holy shit I don't care about her or dragons yet HBO thought it would be a great idea to make a spin off series about her homosexual family and their fruity dragons.
I thought he was a great character but he's not meant to come off likable or charismatic. Don't pretend he's some great leader when he's indecisive and basically controlled by the red big tiddies.

But he was going to bring the red lady and use her firesnatch to achieve victory but was convinced by Davos not to, again that's not very decisive is it?
I mean him sacrificing his daughter was one of the things from the later seasons that actually makes sense and isn't moronic. He's basically spiritually and physically broken, and has lost all hope for winning the iron throne but is ofc convinced by the red tiddies because while he knows her powers are evil he's seen for himself that they work. It's basically his last chance and while he wouldn't have done it before he would at that point because he's lost his humanity at that point.

Nothing silly about it pleb. It's one of the only times we see real tactics and formations instead of morons just running into each other
Strange I don't think it would be easy or possible to coordinate that many troops into a massive spear wall encirclement that moves together at the same time. It's almost like it's all CGI and based on what someone who saw 300 thinks a phalanx is.
unfortunately yes. the whole idea of a clegane"bowl" signifies the whole mindset of the audience, having degraded into schlock-sucking, prompted in turn by a decline in story-telling to begin with. yes, i am a professional critique.

Or maybe they did and D&D were like no it's good don't worry about it

sad
The battle tactics were also laughably bad from beginning to end. Apparently Ramsay bolton was the only man in the 7 kingdoms to know anything on the topic
>The battle tactics were also laughably bad from beginning to end
What battle tactics? Having your catapults and infantry stand OUTSIDE the fricking walls of your fortress?
Thats the entire point of israeli subversion. They buy the legal rights to white peoples favourite stuff then they gradually pervert it and turn it to shit over time. You will have people rationalizing watching the shit and making excuses for it and you will have people angry and demoralized by it. Its intentional and they dont care, the point is the bait and switch trick and then they count the money.
I mean you look at the later seasons of GOT and how much current year politics made it in there? You even had the Dothraki who are a bunch of barbarians saying your people (white europeans) dont know how to fight.
The reality is Europeams with the exception of the blip of Genghis khan have been the strongest and most intelligent capable race on the planet to the degree that most of the modern world is based on combining traditional aspects of a host culture and combining it with European technology and societal philsophy.
But due to israeli subversion of media we are led to believe white people are weak and deserve to die while feminists will magically save us from weak beta males and patriarchal tyrants.
The best of the white men will abandon his people and land and duty to go live with a bunch of low iq barbarians while a disabled man and his band of SJW cohorts rightcheously govern the kingdom while quiping like redditors.
I want to like the show and forgive it of it's mistakes because it still delivered a kino experience like no other, I am not sure I will ever be as invested or have as much as I did when this show peaked, but the later seasons make it really, really hard. They are not good (except on technical levels. It's really all on the writing)

The problem isn't really that they didn't do obvious stuff like that, the problem is what they did instead was really, really not good and bad, and when the obvious stuff would have been more satisfying than what we actually got, yeah
Also creating plot threads and foreshadowing and then doing literally nothing with it, no point, nothing there, it was just a waste of time.. that's not saying anything or doing anything interesting. All it is is a "ha ha, I made you think I would do X, but instead I will do nothing. Tricked!"

Subversion is only good if it works just as well or better than what it replaces.
Subversion for the sake of it is even worse than something poorly played straight, because the audience can tell the writer thinks they're clever, and can also tell they're a dunning-kruger afflicted moron.
Contrasting it with Cleganebowl is a great example of this. Cleganebowl was pandering bullshit, but it only pissed people off by being wasted potential.

If I were invested in GoT, it would have been a total blue ball. Like the obvious work around is to have a fight but NK, for once, actually gets spooked by Jon giving him a run for his money and that's when he has zombies overwhelm him so he can flee before being killed by the uggo potato child in le subversive fashion

it's not even blue balls. Its an insult. Jon gets swarmed by minions then fights through to be confronted by a fricking undead dragon. His response is to give up and scream at it. In this entire show about knights and dragons, we never see a knight take on a dragon. Jaime charged one and got saved by a flying master of coin, and Jon was about to be eaten by one before being saved by a flying midget ex machina. Season 8 is a masterclass is destroying a franchise. Even normies hated it. You can tell because noone irl talks about it. Ever.

Atleast have them fight once and maybe have Jon get his ass beaten by night king, or have arya then sneak behind him when he is busy with Jon. What we got instead was shit
>Put the dwarf who betrayed his family, his new queen, his realm, and his best friend, at the head of the council
Putting the dwarf at this seat of power would have made sense if Tyrion was some kind of mastermind that would have made up for it, but he isn't. He fricked up and kept fricking up everything, with all of the choices he made. He even admitted he was a fool. Is God King Bran actually going to do everything himself and the others are just useless figureheads? The only useful person there is Pod, since God can't push himself in the wheelchair.
>Wait, are you...are you just going to listen to what this traitor says? WHAT? YOU'RE SETTING HIM FREE???? HE KILLED MY QUEEN! Pack my...pack my bags and leave Westeros? Ok.

I quit after 3 episodes in season 5 > b-b-but how would you know it's shit if you haven't seen it
kek, cope. in my mind, this show is still kino, can't say the same about yours can I?
So magic is the reason people like Eric, Jon, and Catelyn are brought back form the dead, but what’s Ser Gregor’s reason? How did he turn into a brainless zombie?
What was the reason they changed out the first actor for a taller and much lankier actor who they then changed out for halftor or whatever the frick his name is?
First guy ditched the show because he wanted to be in The Hobbit, but got screwed over in the end.
He then asked if he could come back and D&D flipped him off too.
He now sells protein powder of something.
What a tool lmao.
Second guy was a stuntman and just took over the role for 1-2 eps.
Bolg the Based. The elves called him the creamy dicky crusher due to all the female elves he tortured up in Gundabad. His appearance had to be nerfed or else he would have mogged Azog.
oh damn, yeah that was such a shame we didn't at least get that in that shitty trilogy, so did he still do the mocap for bolg or did they just completely frick him over lol
pretty sure they completely fricked him over. he was supposed to play bolg in prosthetics, but the character was replaced with cgi and wasnt even featured in the trilogy until the third movie.
It’s not just Arya killing the NK that’s bad, the white walkers go out like the most pathetic villains possible. They’re back built up as the ultimate unstoppable threat yet they go down in one episode and never make it past winterfell. Not only that, they don’t do any damage to winterfell at all.
>It’s not just Arya killing the NK that’s bad
to me it is, mostly. she has ZERO emotional connection or otherwise to the white walkers plotline. it's absolutely moronic.
Not only that but she already got her big moment earlier where she took out the entire Frey family
It's too much for one character, the Frey thing was already straining credulity but at least it was a somewhat satisfying payoff
Then there's the fact that it was a literally physically impossible nothing personal teleport
Oh yeah, that. Frick, how did she killed every Frey, cooked and served them as dishes without anyone noticing? Fricking Jaqen had trouble killing one Lannister servant quietly in Harrenhal.
>killed the Frey men, poisoning a whole fricking House is just a matter of wobbling into the kitchen and pouring stuff into the wine >killed Shansha >humiliated Brienne, deflecting her blows with a sword that weighed as much as Arya
All this after mopping floors, washing some corpses and getting stabbed in the gut, and in the end just flipping off the Faceless Men, because apparently that was always an option, it's just that nobody thought about it previously.
It would have been better to have Hound come to terms with the fact that his brother is dead and he'll never get the revenge he wanted. Then he could have walked out. Maybe he rescues someone on his way out, idk. The story was shit long before this so trying to salvage one scene and one character is pointless.
the white walkers should have won, and Jon/Dany should have had to flee south to the "safety" of King's Landing, with Cersei stopping them from the south and the army of the dead advancing south from the north
Could have been Kino
This and Star Wars just completely failing literally forever as spectacularly as humanly possible at roughly the same time unironically destroyed a lot of peoples ability to get into fiction. The apathy that has replaced these franchises is palpable, you can feel it in people when you talk to them about it. GoT in particular, all the merchandise in stores and all the staying power just seemed to fricking vanish overnight, it was insane.
The whole reason Cleganebowl was hyped was because it was a sleeper plot line that would eventually have a massive payoff built up to naturally after 7 seasons and be a turning point in the endgame plot.
But in the end it was 2 dead guys fighting over nothing.
We still don’t know why Bran started controlling crows during the battle of winterfell, it’s not like they did anything. Useless frick can possess animals and see the future, but did nothing at all during the battle
Why does the council or whatever the frick you want to call it have the authority select a king? Why would anyone in House Lannister give a shit about Tyrion? He would get sniped quick.
They create a totally illegitimate government imo..
>Why does the council or whatever the frick you want to call it have the authority select a king?
Because they become a sort of democracy at the end of the show. With every kingdom getting to weigh in on who gets to sit on the throne. However, they all still have to answer to the King, except Sansa because she's a strong woman that needs no man. And everyone agrees with this.
jesus fricking christ she looks 50! I have been taught to have low expectations of bong women aging but what the fricking hell?

cheese an frickin crackers how do people not see how fricking childish this kind of writing is ugh
Its worse than that: the whole end consensus is that the ONLY kingdom in the seven kingdoms that gets to keep its independence from the Iron Throne is the fricking kings older sister.
Yes, lets build a kingdom under the rule of Bran that his own fricking sister doesnt want to be a part of.
Yeah, the last two seasons also very heavily hint at the fact that Winterfell and Sansa are now these take-no-shit from anyone kingdom, so that will also reassure other kingdoms to trust them.

point out that she was nothing but a fricksleeve for a deposed, despotic king. she was never in the line of succession as long as there was a male heir to Winterfell.
>Remind her that he didn't sit down when he fought in the war for the two gigac**ts despite never even meeting them. >fantasize about heading home to Roslin
I sat in prison for years, all because I had taken up arms to rescue you, my beloved niece. My lands burned, my people murdured, my sister, nephew, uncle, all killed in a war to save a niece I had never even met before today. You would do well to remember that, and to learn some courtesy.
he was unironically the best choice for king. noble, willing to rebel for righteous cause, married to a hottie with an heir on the way. Westerlands fear him for defending those windmills so strongly, freys wish to be him, neutral to the vale, reach, iron born and dorne with strong links to new ally up north and had no part in the murder of previous monarchs. He also worshipped the Seven, unlike Bran the Broken and was dumb enough to have to rely on advisors
Yep. You can argue that Bran was objectively the best choice because of his powers, since an all-knowing all-seeing king would be incredibly useful, but people are subjective. It's hard to believe that peasants wouldn't immediately oppose to a weird crippled boy on the throne after all the war and conflict they just went through.
Yeah what a great idea is to give absolute political power to the kid who can watch you jerk off 24/7. Who, by the way, was taught by a dude who used his magical powers to institute an oppressive secret police when he was hand of the king.
>Recover all his lands >Married the hottest chick in the Riverlands, and thanks to the male Frey genocide their childrens will likely inherit the Twins too >Uncle of pretty much half of the rulers of the kingdoms at the end of the show. He's the cornerstone of any political alliance
Theon’s death was meaningless as well, tired of people pretending it was good. His sacrifice should’ve actually meant something. He didn’t need to charge at the night king, in 10 seconds Arya was going to save the day
They literally just kept him around so his sister could humiliate him by constantly getting pussy. Would have been better to kill him off at anytime before
jon and theon taking on the NK together would have been kino. Theon jumps on his sword giving jon the chance to strike or Jon holds the sword while theon stabs the NK getting frozen in the process. Arya and Brienne could have held off the other white walkers or killed the dragon for the yaaaas queen crowd and Bran could have hypnotised the whitewalkers/zombies.
There are so many better ways it could have happened.
Perhaps Theon could get the Night King in the back of the calf allowing Jon to get the killing blow, a call back to the Lannister guard doing the same to Ned.
But this is all tears in rain.
Seriously why the frick was Jaime portrayed as being utterly worthless as a fighter until the end?
It's not impossible to switch your dominant hand especially if you literally don't have the other one to mix up signals.
They said his "Instincts are all wrong" but like he must still know techniques and footwork and shit and many swordsman throughout history made a point of training both hands anyway.
Also many left-handed fighters were the terrors of the medieval ages because a lot of people didn't know how the frick to play against them.
He should've reclaimed at least a good amount of his fighting skill by S8, which would've still made him top-tier considering where he started.
I broke my right hand during a fencing accident, and while it was recovering I switched to only using my left hand. It took a couple of months to learn how to move but I got to the point where I was just about as good with my left as my right. And mind you I was just some normal guy doing HEMA, on the weekends, not one of the most skilled swordsmen on an entire continent.
Reminder that Daario, a mercenary is still left in charge of Mereen all by himself. Imagine all the coups, violence and political upheaval that occurred as soon as Daenerys left
>Lannisters and Clegane raid and rapes your lands and people >Your nephew starts a war >All the battles are fought in your lands >The commonfolk are afraid and the nobles are angry >You're the last of your family besides you two sisters and giga-chad uncle who refuses to marry >Clegane starts raiding your lands again >You attack him >Nephew somehow blames you for something he didn't even tell you >Father dies >Father's funeral and you cant shoot a arrow because you're full of grief >Nephew laughs at his grandfather's funeral >Nephew forces you to marry one of the Freys after he married some random prostitute from volantis >Walder Frey betrays your nephew kills him, your sister, his vassals and your vassals >Become prisioner to your father in law >House Frey somehow dies >it was your niece and she didnt even bother to set you free >Retake your lands >Targaryen b***h invades westeros and burns kings landing >"Great Council" is called >Starts making a speech about how you would be the best choice for a king >Your dumb coward prostitute of a niece tells you to sit down >Your moron nephew becomes the king >You're forever forced to be ruled by moron starks
i feel like the whole point of sandor's arc was that he was supposed to find a way to stop his brother from living in his brain rent free. like have him see his brother and sort of cleganebowl for a while out of necessity, but ultimately he should realize that his brother is long dead and that he would be better off living his life for himself (or someone else)
idk why d&d had him kamikaze himself to kill a corpse for no real reason, other than to tie loose ends and do the cleganebowl with least effort possible
Still can't believe they chose to have Jaime deflower Brienne then leave her crying to run back to his b***h sister that he utterly hates by that point.
Is there a character story arc they did not ruin?
I can't think of one
Jon Snow got out the most unscathed I guess and his story was "get resurrected to yell at a dead dragon and then go love in Canada"
Nah all the major factions and characters gather for one big fight and then right when they are about to charge into eachother they stop and begin dancing and singing. They all come together in the end and celebrate diversity before burning Daenerys at the stake and enslaving all her ex slave subjects.
Same way he got out and then back to KL after threatening Tyrion and Jaime at gunpoint. One would imagine they could just wave to some guards to behead Bron in the courtyard 30 seconds after he left the room.
>Tyrion Lannister: The Eyrie. They say it's impregnable. >Bronn: Give me 10 good men and some climbing spikes... I'll impregnate the b*tch.
He had 10 good men and some climbing spikes
>2013 >everyone tells me to watch GoT >oh you'll love it, you love LOTR! >it's generic, low stakes, trash. >the only time you learn about anyone is right before they get murdered >the 2 "interesting" characters get more lame with each episode >everyone says I'm wrong despite this being irrefutable >same people a month later >"Anon you looove Anime have you heard of Attack on Titan" >exact same problems as GoT >a few years later the same shit happens with Demon Slayer
I'm so sick of this brainless style of writing in order to bait "emotions" bros. I just want to enjoy things and watch episodic kino.
It was one of the few scenes of s8 I bothered to watch on YouTube, it was atrocious, totally underwhelming.
no
No, because I stopped watching after season 4 sucked so hard. I tried starting s5 a couple years later and it was even worse, so I turned 360 degrees and never looked back
no u didnt, u watched the whole show like good consoomer u are
not him but I didn't watch anything post 6
i remember it sucking
Sadly, yes
>'Hello big brother!'
>literally looks 20 years younger (and he is IRL)
what the frick were they even thinking when they hired thor
babyface and shorter than all other mountain's
The original Mountain quit to be a CGI orc in the Hobbit, so they had to replace him. There aren't a lot 7' tall, jacked actors out there.
They had two different actors playing Gregor before Hafthor and they were both taller and older than him, but they were also slim which would be too reasonable for Dumb & Dumber, in their childish brains they needed a roidmonster for the villain.
The real problem was hiring such an old actor for the Hound. He's supposed to be a 28 year old. Basically a young adult Todoroki: scarred, edgy, but fairy atractive. Sansa is both scared AND aroused by him
felt like the actors were not sure what to do
the writing was so bad it was probably like "and then the see each other and then they fight"
Hype was already gone at that point
>GOT was already shit by then
>battle feels very minor due to Daenerys destroying the city
>Hype was already gone at that point
Or was it
God I remember these fat c**ts Kek
What was the shit that went down with the fat prostitute with green hair, did she try to sue the bar for some reason?
I would like to know more about this.
why cant the school shooters target places like this instead, they clearly deserve to die more than some innocent kids
they dont even think, i honestly envy their ability to just see shit and gobble it up without a single complaint
its the whole episode, the whole fricking episode it felt like i was waiting for something and at the end, virtually every action moment their is something legitimately wrong, from the charge, to the moronation of trying to fight on the outside walls, to the no wall defenses to random shit like jamie just yelling "draw' despite calling the archers down, to jon not being able to catch a walking night king then being surrounded quite literally suffocating levels of surrounding only to appear unscathed and then finally the autstic screeching, ive left out so much you also had the ironborn suddenly being great archers and being storm by dozens of zombies only to be completely fine and then you got useless fricking bran there is too much there is so much more wrong with this episode its genuinely the worst episode in television and its not even a debate
I really appreciated how they have even shown that Children circle rune thingy in S8 as if Bran or the whole crap would be relevant after all the backstory and references, but Lord Cripple just literally chills there, does some bird warging and that's it. And he was beautiful.
I agree with everything you said but the ironborn are supposed to be really good archers. It never comes up except for one throw away line from s1. Still ridiculous how it was portrayed though
beyond the moronic writing, that episode was so fricking dark it was almost unwatchable.
>le epic long night
Yeah great symbolism, world class
These cucks do it on fricking purpose I swear
Of course they do they're trying to go viral
what the hell i thought this face was already photoshopped in
are they really holding hands
lmao yes
yea you see when boy meets a girl and they like each other they may show some forms of affection towards each other, they become a boy-friend (not to confuse with fren) and girl-friend and sometimes they hold hands
>sometimes they hold hands
h-hot
look at him squeezing that woman's hand like a female
Why are the men feminine and the women masculine?
Oh yeah
>got fans after season 5
perfection
nice
Yep I remember reddit ignoring how shitty season 7 was and being hyped for season 8. Then after 8 came out they b***hed about how bad it was and ignored the fact that season 7 was just as bad and the season before was only slightly less shitty. I think what bothered me the most was how much fan service there was towards the end of the show. The part that really lost me was when the group of fan favorites go up north to catch a wight. Holy shit full of cringy references to previous seasons it was just awful.
I really should have stopped at season 4 or 5, it's just that 5 and 6 were bad but there was hope things would get better. I tried to rewatch the show a few months ago and cringed my way through season 6 just because I wanted to see how hard they dropped the ball but I just couldn't get past the battle of the bastards so stupid. That was another reddit fan favorite. I loved the fricking bullshit phalanx or whatever Ramsay's forces do that was so silly.
>go up north to catch a wight
Man that suicide mission was fricking moronic. Mirin' Gendry's/Dany's teleportation powers.
>Man that suicide mission was fricking moronic
BRO BUT, LIKE, WE HAD OUR FAVORITE CHARACTERS TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIMEEEEEE! EPIC
>Jon Snow, Gendry, The HOUND, Tormund, AND Jorah. All. Going. Up. North. THIS IS GONNA BE NEXT LEVEL
i'm not gonna lie i did simp for Jorah. dude was a badass. he really shoulda given Kelly C his Big Mormont wiener though.
At least he gets a kiss from his khaleesi in the books.
I thought the Hound was a great character the parts with him and Arya traveling through the war torn country was one of the best parts of the show. The show would have been way better if it stayed more grounded and focused more on what was going on with the people of Westeros, seeing the carnage of war and all the destruction and how the peasants lives are effected and the general lifestyle of medieval europeans. That plus political intrigue with the nobles is all you really needed not the le epic battles or all the magic shit. The white walkers were cool until they actually came out of the ice closet and weren't mysterious anymore. Nobody gives a frick about the homosexual wood kids up north and their three eyed pedo or moronic CGI dragons. Did HBO Rome even have one major battle scene? Only thing I remember was a small scale skirmish at the beginning where Pullo and Vorenus are fighting against Gauls. Imagine if Rome got 8 seasons...
>Did HBO Rome even have one major battle scene?
Aside from the episode you mention, no. All the major stuff like Caesar x Pompey or the Battle of Actium happens off-camera. You get like one shot of ships burning in Actium.
>Did HBO Rome even have one major battle scene?
No, but that's exclusively because they didn't have the money for it. GOT first season didn't have any battles either but the book did.
They did have one "big" battle scene, the one where Brutus dies, but it was nowhere near the scale of the GoT battles.
>Rome turns into a Democracy led by Cleopatra
The only good thing of that shit show were Beric and Jon talking about R'hllor, and Jorah and Thoros talking about the Siege of Pyke
If dany didn't have her dragon die they killing the WW would have been easy mode
>bro like, hear me out, 'member that Lich King cinematic with the roaring undead dragon, what if, hehe, what if we did that too?
>duuuude yeeeah, we could also explain how that whole fricking army just crossed the Wall overnight
I admired the NK's foresight for preparing giant fricking chains so the zombies could lift a whole dragon from the lake in case one shows up and gets oneshot by an ice javelin.
At the time, people handwaved a lot of the bad stuff in Season 7 as "they just need to get all the pieces in place for Season 8".
That and imo the fact that it was massively spoilered also played a part, everyone had months to come to terms with it and it mostly looked good on paper
>the fact that it was massively spoilered also played a part
It's crazy how close to the actual plot people were able to piece together just from the trailers and set photos. I remember spending hours reading blog posts that were trying to piece everything together.
I remember people reacted to Cersei blowing all of her enemies up with no repercussions as high cinema because it was accompanied by classical music.
I liked that part enough that I think it must have been pre-written by GRRM. But I was very surprised that there was zero fallout from it.
It was a stonk woman moment
i felt it getting bad during the nightswatch battle where ygritte dies. when they used the long tracking shot during the fight i could see them making spectacle more and more of a priority.
I see what you mean but I thought it was basically the only good battle in the show, I guess blackwater bay is pretty good too both for the same reason, you actually cared about both sides of the fight and the characters fighting. The nights watch and wildlings had a bunch of likable characters like the Thane guy was a great fricking villain. Same with the blackwater bay Tyrion wasn't a complete gay yet and it was hard to not like Davos even if Stannis wasn't a charismatic character. But yeah the big battles are one of the most boring aspects of the show even the two I just mentioned.
Actually Danys entire storyline is the most boring aspect of the show holy shit I don't care about her or dragons yet HBO thought it would be a great idea to make a spin off series about her homosexual family and their fruity dragons.
>Stannis wasn't a charismatic character
I thought he was a great character but he's not meant to come off likable or charismatic. Don't pretend he's some great leader when he's indecisive and basically controlled by the red big tiddies.
>he's indecisive and basically controlled by the red big tiddies
Davos convinced him to go North, moron
Yeah he's not confident enough in himself to make decisions he believes in so he needs Davos to convince him. And if I remember it's the red dicky that tells him "the real war will be fought up north" or some shit. You think he wanted to sacrifice his daughter? That was all his idea?
>Yeah he's not confident enough in himself to make decisions he believes in
I mean, his attack on King's Landing was pretty decisive and only thwarted by a Wildfire MOAB
>You think he wanted to sacrifice his daughter?
That was literally just character assassination
>I mean, his attack on King's Landing was pretty decisive and only thwarted by a Wildfire MOAB
But he was going to bring the red lady and use her firesnatch to achieve victory but was convinced by Davos not to, again that's not very decisive is it?
I mean him sacrificing his daughter was one of the things from the later seasons that actually makes sense and isn't moronic. He's basically spiritually and physically broken, and has lost all hope for winning the iron throne but is ofc convinced by the red tiddies because while he knows her powers are evil he's seen for himself that they work. It's basically his last chance and while he wouldn't have done it before he would at that point because he's lost his humanity at that point.
>again that's not very decisive is it?
I don't think you know what indecisiveness is.
Yes like your dad was indecisive whether to abort you or raise you so he instead opted to abandon you. You're kinda like Jon Snow except your dad didn't die he just left you because he doesn't love you.
>red big tiddies.
>Get encircled by a shield wall
>There's more of you
>You have a fricking giant who can ragdoll people with a kick
>You're all wildlings who are supposedly epic barbarian badasses
>Do nothing and get penned as Sansa watches impassively holding a force of knights that could've single-handedly defeated the entire enemy force until the last possible moment.
Jon and all his Black personlings should've been fricking exterminated on that field.
>I loved the fricking bullshit phalanx or whatever Ramsay's forces do that was so silly.
Nothing silly about it pleb. It's one of the only times we see real tactics and formations instead of morons just running into each other
Strange I don't think it would be easy or possible to coordinate that many troops into a massive spear wall encirclement that moves together at the same time. It's almost like it's all CGI and based on what someone who saw 300 thinks a phalanx is.
He's moronic, the battle of bastards doesn't make any sense.
Nothing like that has ever existed in reality, everyone sat and watched it happen, and the corpse wall was based on things from WW1
KINGSLAYER GET IN HERE AND YOU BETTER START POSTING BESSIE AND HER MASSIVE breasts. BY THE GODS I WAS HORNY THEN
BOW YOU SHITS
CAREFUL, CAREFUL NOW
CLEGANEBOWL CONFIRMED GET HYPE
I forgot what song we used
just a bunch of blow horns I think
it was a different time
ELO
>the icelandic homosexual was so awful the first guy from 2011 still has to be used in edits
Goy of thrones really dropped the ball man..
>filming it so the mountain looks smaller than sandor
this is amazing level of hackery
unfortunately yes. the whole idea of a clegane"bowl" signifies the whole mindset of the audience, having degraded into schlock-sucking, prompted in turn by a decline in story-telling to begin with. yes, i am a professional critique.
For me, it's this scene
The climax of the series, 8 seasons of build up to the white walkers, and this stupid fricking midget literally fricking nothing personal teleports in
Absolutely unfathomable how she could have gotten passed all the zombies, white walkers, literally in a circle around the night king, with several meters between them and him, literally impossible. Not even some stupid justification like she used a wight/white walker face, which I also would have hated, but at least kind of makes sense. I would have rolled my eyes at how stupid it was, but at least it makes sense and builds upon the story and is a tenuously physically possible thing within the context of the show
but nope
she just teleports in
probably thrown for the shot by some crew member
years later and I'm still fricking mad
No there was a 3 foot tall platform she jumped from.
It's funnier to picture someone chucking her offscreen
Let me have this please
>all this set up for this shot, all this budget and no one said "hey wait a minute"
Or maybe they did and D&D were like no it's good don't worry about it
who knows
sad
The battle tactics were also laughably bad from beginning to end. Apparently Ramsay bolton was the only man in the 7 kingdoms to know anything on the topic
I don't remember much about it other than sending all the dothraki to ride into the darkness which was really really dumb
I'd like to give then credit and say it was because Dany and Jon had no battle experience but they don't deserve that benefit of the doubt
>this is the end of the Dothraki
>sike! they're all back alive for the following battles!
>The battle tactics were also laughably bad from beginning to end
What battle tactics? Having your catapults and infantry stand OUTSIDE the fricking walls of your fortress?
Ramsay's astute tactic of building a wall of corpses to surround Jon Snow was also moronic.
He just needs 20 good men to beat one of the most experienced battle commanders in the series.
Who is the soldier of fortune known as Twenty Goodman?
No single man. He just formed the most OP multiverse team ever existed
>Not even some stupid justification like she used a wight/white walker face, which I also would have hated, but at least kind of makes sense.
I expected that, it would have at least helped justify her whole side story, sort of how having Beric dying to protect her justified his.
Get over it, sexist.
Thats the entire point of israeli subversion. They buy the legal rights to white peoples favourite stuff then they gradually pervert it and turn it to shit over time. You will have people rationalizing watching the shit and making excuses for it and you will have people angry and demoralized by it. Its intentional and they dont care, the point is the bait and switch trick and then they count the money.
I mean you look at the later seasons of GOT and how much current year politics made it in there? You even had the Dothraki who are a bunch of barbarians saying your people (white europeans) dont know how to fight.
The reality is Europeams with the exception of the blip of Genghis khan have been the strongest and most intelligent capable race on the planet to the degree that most of the modern world is based on combining traditional aspects of a host culture and combining it with European technology and societal philsophy.
But due to israeli subversion of media we are led to believe white people are weak and deserve to die while feminists will magically save us from weak beta males and patriarchal tyrants.
The best of the white men will abandon his people and land and duty to go live with a bunch of low iq barbarians while a disabled man and his band of SJW cohorts rightcheously govern the kingdom while quiping like redditors.
But why? Why do israelites do that? What do they gain?
This episode was fricking awesome and I'm tired of pretending it wasn't.
i enjoyed the entire series from start to finish unironically
I want to like the show and forgive it of it's mistakes because it still delivered a kino experience like no other, I am not sure I will ever be as invested or have as much as I did when this show peaked, but the later seasons make it really, really hard. They are not good (except on technical levels. It's really all on the writing)
frick your opinion Black person. it was good from start to finish. the ending was satisfying too.
fricking herd animal dipshit. oh nooo people will think its cringe if i enjoy this thing moo
My entire point is I want to enjoy it - I don't give a frick what people think of me - but it's just too awful to actually enjoy
if you don't care what others think, why try to justify yourself?
deep down you know it was shit and you're just coping
Kys only a moron would the think the ending made any sense
>noooo Jon was SUPPOED to be Azor Ahai and defeat the Night King in a lightsaber duel with the power of friendship
>noooo Jaime was SUPPOSED to be a good guy and then murder his pregnant sister-wife to show how much of a good guy he's become and then live happier ever after with Brienne!
>noooo GRRM was SUPPOSED to finish the books! Quentyn and Darkstar and Victarion and Areo Hotah are totally epic fricking characters and not useless POV characters invented because he lost the plot!
The problem isn't really that they didn't do obvious stuff like that, the problem is what they did instead was really, really not good and bad, and when the obvious stuff would have been more satisfying than what we actually got, yeah
Also creating plot threads and foreshadowing and then doing literally nothing with it, no point, nothing there, it was just a waste of time.. that's not saying anything or doing anything interesting. All it is is a "ha ha, I made you think I would do X, but instead I will do nothing. Tricked!"
It's not good writing
If they did something unexpected that was good, great, fine
But they did nothing
They did a teleporting midget
Yea unironically.
You are just like the gays who shill for The Last Jedi
Darkstar is based.
Both the character and the triphomosexual (RIP).
Subversion is only good if it works just as well or better than what it replaces.
Subversion for the sake of it is even worse than something poorly played straight, because the audience can tell the writer thinks they're clever, and can also tell they're a dunning-kruger afflicted moron.
Contrasting it with Cleganebowl is a great example of this. Cleganebowl was pandering bullshit, but it only pissed people off by being wasted potential.
Jon was SUPPOED to be Azor Ahai and defeat the Night King in a lightsaber duel with the power of friendship
I watched s8 clips here and there on YouTube and it does seem they teased the frick out of Jon vs. Night King.
>him watching Jon kill an underling in s5
>Jon's "mission" in s8 Winterfell battle episode becomes to kill NK himself
>him pursuing the blue homosexual and getting within like 100m of him before he has to switch to fighting goons
If I were invested in GoT, it would have been a total blue ball. Like the obvious work around is to have a fight but NK, for once, actually gets spooked by Jon giving him a run for his money and that's when he has zombies overwhelm him so he can flee before being killed by the uggo potato child in le subversive fashion
it's not even blue balls. Its an insult. Jon gets swarmed by minions then fights through to be confronted by a fricking undead dragon. His response is to give up and scream at it. In this entire show about knights and dragons, we never see a knight take on a dragon. Jaime charged one and got saved by a flying master of coin, and Jon was about to be eaten by one before being saved by a flying midget ex machina. Season 8 is a masterclass is destroying a franchise. Even normies hated it. You can tell because noone irl talks about it. Ever.
>noooo GRRM was SUPPOSED to finish the books
Yes? He said he was. Stop being a homosexual.
I bet you like the Wheel of Time adaptation
No one likes the WoT adaption.
>GRRM was SUPPOSED to finish the books
Yes. Frick off.
i just looked it up, i'm shocked he still hasn't released that book. holy shit. it's been fricking years now.
if i was a bookgay i'd be so pissed.
i think the bookgays have given up on him finishing the series. they've accepted that it'll be a ghost writer hired by his estate.
what a fatass cuck lol, hell even cormac mccarthy went 16 years between books but now the chad is comin out with 2 this year
i wonder if he ever sees grrm in santa fe and just gives a dismissive laugh while walking away before that fat frick can try to waddle after him
Somebody born when the last book was published is now older than Sansa in AGOT/first show season.
you're telling me this girl is like 10 years old?
idk man she's pretty hot wtf
It's been eleven years anon
>A Game of Thrones (1996)
>A Clash of Kings (1998)
>A Storm of Swords (2000)
>A Feast for Crows (2005)
>A Dance with Dragons (2011)
there is a clear pattern here. 2 year gaps, followed by 5 year gaps, which suggests
>The Winds of Winter (forthcoming, approx 2024)
>A Dream of Spring (planned, approx 2034)
When does book 8 come out, 2054?
>book 8?
Books 6 and 7 are going to be split into 3
If this happens I will kill every obese old person in the USA
>noooo Jon was SUPPOED to be Azor Ahai and defeat the Night King in a lightsaber duel with the power of friendship
Atleast have them fight once and maybe have Jon get his ass beaten by night king, or have arya then sneak behind him when he is busy with Jon. What we got instead was shit
Based. There were some parts I didn't like, but season 8 was far from the worst.
The most disappointing scene in a season full of disappointments
Bravo dumb & dumber
it was only disappointing because of the retared memes building up unrealistic expectations about the idea.
most of the rest of the season was disappointing for entirely avoidable reasons that were 100% under D&D&G's control.
AND WHO HAS A BETTER STORY THAN BRAN THE BROKEN?
YEAH, LET'S LISTEN TO THE TRAITOROUS MIDGET ON TRIAL HERE
>SHUT UP! STOP TALKING DWARF! I'm in charge here!
>Tyrion goes on a 30 minute monologue that decides the power structure of the kingdom
>everyone claps
>they give the traitorous dwarf a seat at the council, because
>Put the dwarf who betrayed his family, his new queen, his realm, and his best friend, at the head of the council
Putting the dwarf at this seat of power would have made sense if Tyrion was some kind of mastermind that would have made up for it, but he isn't. He fricked up and kept fricking up everything, with all of the choices he made. He even admitted he was a fool. Is God King Bran actually going to do everything himself and the others are just useless figureheads? The only useful person there is Pod, since God can't push himself in the wheelchair.
>Wait, are you...are you just going to listen to what this traitor says? WHAT? YOU'RE SETTING HIM FREE???? HE KILLED MY QUEEN! Pack my...pack my bags and leave Westeros? Ok.
*dies from poisonous butterflies*
Why didn't they just kill him? It's established that all westerosi are racists and everybody disrespects eunuchs, even in Essos. Seriously who would've stopped Jon if he had just beheaded Greyworm?
He dininwannit
>Why didn't they just kill him?
Because after season 3 (when the books' material mostly ran out) the show started running on fanservice and you can't kill fan-favorite Peter Dinklage.
I meant greyworm, nobody liked that gay not even blacks
Well, he had an entire army of unsullied backing him up. If anything, Greyworm could've murdered everyone at the council and seized the throne. Far as I remember, no one had a big enough army to defend themselves against a proper army..
The Unsullied were 8000 guys IN ESSOS. Every single region in the seven kingdoms, even the iron islands, can field more men than that.
Unsullied aren't actually that good. They just don't suffer morale breaks like other soliders
Never forget how the thieving sellsword became Master of Coin and lord of fricking Highgarden.
YOU ARE NOT ON TRIAL FOR BEING A DWARF
Charles Dance was too good for this show
>who has a better story than the mouth breathing moron cripple who has done nothing but use his powers to fap to his own sisters rape? His warrior cousin who’s technically the next heir to the throne? Don’t be ridiculous.
>Fight on a staircase
Dumb setting
>IT WAS HER TURN
long live autist king brandon
Disappointing as frick, but so is the rest of the season.
S8 was only fun to watch to see all the normalgays on damage control. Anyone with a brain recognized the major drop in quality in s5
>GoT S8 getting the prequel treatment
What a time to be alive.
I'll post this stupid fricking thread on Cinemaphile from now on everytime one of those moronic Shitgeki homosexuals claim that 'hurr nobody likes GoT ending, SnK ending os gOoD'
>SnK ending os gOoD
This opinion should be a cause for abortion.
>GoT S8 getting the prequel treatment
>What a time to be alive.
Sequel, you mean
I quit after 3 episodes in season 5
> b-b-but how would you know it's shit if you haven't seen it
kek, cope. in my mind, this show is still kino, can't say the same about yours can I?
>drop show
>still kino
not how it works sweaty
So magic is the reason people like Eric, Jon, and Catelyn are brought back form the dead, but what’s Ser Gregor’s reason? How did he turn into a brainless zombie?
i remember that drogon understood that the lust for power corrupted daenerys and if it wasnt for the iron throne jon wouldnt have stabbed her to death
What was the reason they changed out the first actor for a taller and much lankier actor who they then changed out for halftor or whatever the frick his name is?
First guy ditched the show because he wanted to be in The Hobbit, but got screwed over in the end.
He then asked if he could come back and D&D flipped him off too.
He now sells protein powder of something.
What a tool lmao.
Second guy was a stuntman and just took over the role for 1-2 eps.
>wanted to be in The Hobbit, but got screwed over in the end.
He literally played Bolg.
Bolg the Based. The elves called him the creamy dicky crusher due to all the female elves he tortured up in Gundabad. His appearance had to be nerfed or else he would have mogged Azog.
oh damn, yeah that was such a shame we didn't at least get that in that shitty trilogy, so did he still do the mocap for bolg or did they just completely frick him over lol
pretty sure they completely fricked him over. he was supposed to play bolg in prosthetics, but the character was replaced with cgi and wasnt even featured in the trilogy until the third movie.
It’s not just Arya killing the NK that’s bad, the white walkers go out like the most pathetic villains possible. They’re back built up as the ultimate unstoppable threat yet they go down in one episode and never make it past winterfell. Not only that, they don’t do any damage to winterfell at all.
>It’s not just Arya killing the NK that’s bad
to me it is, mostly. she has ZERO emotional connection or otherwise to the white walkers plotline. it's absolutely moronic.
Not only that but she already got her big moment earlier where she took out the entire Frey family
It's too much for one character, the Frey thing was already straining credulity but at least it was a somewhat satisfying payoff
Then there's the fact that it was a literally physically impossible nothing personal teleport
Oh yeah, that. Frick, how did she killed every Frey, cooked and served them as dishes without anyone noticing? Fricking Jaqen had trouble killing one Lannister servant quietly in Harrenhal.
>killed the Frey men, poisoning a whole fricking House is just a matter of wobbling into the kitchen and pouring stuff into the wine
>killed Shansha
>humiliated Brienne, deflecting her blows with a sword that weighed as much as Arya
All this after mopping floors, washing some corpses and getting stabbed in the gut, and in the end just flipping off the Faceless Men, because apparently that was always an option, it's just that nobody thought about it previously.
no it really was a sunny day in england
FRICK
It was still pretty fun, senpai.
jesus fricking christ she looks 50! I have been taught to have low expectations of bong women aging but what the fricking hell?
must be why they usually don't allow sunny days in the uk lol
It would have been better to have Hound come to terms with the fact that his brother is dead and he'll never get the revenge he wanted. Then he could have walked out. Maybe he rescues someone on his way out, idk. The story was shit long before this so trying to salvage one scene and one character is pointless.
Someone post the Arya Stark bong pasta.
>fingernails done but not toes
COME ON MAISIE
Ugly but Maise's feet are top tier
>feet

the white walkers should have won, and Jon/Dany should have had to flee south to the "safety" of King's Landing, with Cersei stopping them from the south and the army of the dead advancing south from the north
Could have been Kino
it was really telling how they put half the cast in stasis for the last 5 seasons
Stop hurting your own feelings, guys...
This and Star Wars just completely failing literally forever as spectacularly as humanly possible at roughly the same time unironically destroyed a lot of peoples ability to get into fiction. The apathy that has replaced these franchises is palpable, you can feel it in people when you talk to them about it. GoT in particular, all the merchandise in stores and all the staying power just seemed to fricking vanish overnight, it was insane.
The whole reason Cleganebowl was hyped was because it was a sleeper plot line that would eventually have a massive payoff built up to naturally after 7 seasons and be a turning point in the endgame plot.
But in the end it was 2 dead guys fighting over nothing.
We still don’t know why Bran started controlling crows during the battle of winterfell, it’s not like they did anything. Useless frick can possess animals and see the future, but did nothing at all during the battle
He wanted a nice view of the cool battle
I just want to be king
>makes creepy rape comments for no reason that go nowhere and becomes king in your path
bong genes
He used then as cameras
he goes out and gets crow pussy
what does crowsex feel like
Bags of corn
that crussy do be hitting different
he watched warcrimes and rape with them
GET HYPE
the actor that portrayed Sandor was a DYEL b***h
Game of thrones is for homosexuals
you're for homosexuals
Why does the council or whatever the frick you want to call it have the authority select a king? Why would anyone in House Lannister give a shit about Tyrion? He would get sniped quick.
They create a totally illegitimate government imo..
>Why does the council or whatever the frick you want to call it have the authority select a king?
Because they become a sort of democracy at the end of the show. With every kingdom getting to weigh in on who gets to sit on the throne. However, they all still have to answer to the King, except Sansa because she's a strong woman that needs no man. And everyone agrees with this.
Your expectations will never be low enough.

cheese an frickin crackers how do people not see how fricking childish this kind of writing is ugh
Its worse than that: the whole end consensus is that the ONLY kingdom in the seven kingdoms that gets to keep its independence from the Iron Throne is the fricking kings older sister.
Yes, lets build a kingdom under the rule of Bran that his own fricking sister doesnt want to be a part of.
The Iron Islands would love that shit.
Sounds like a recipe for stability.
Yeah, the last two seasons also very heavily hint at the fact that Winterfell and Sansa are now these take-no-shit from anyone kingdom, so that will also reassure other kingdoms to trust them.
>democracy
Elective monarchy
Yea this one group of people came up with an arrangement that will be very short lived
They will be at war again in the near future
>They will be at war again in the near future
Over what? Led by who?
>Over what? Led by who?
The throne. Led by whoever feels like being King.
Was there any fighting force left in Westeros after the magically replicating Dothraki and the dickless few bailed? The Martells maybe?
The Martells were all genocided by the bad poosy but that prince of Dorne on the council, whatever his name is, probably isn't very happy about not being allowed to be independent when the North is. Same with the ironmen.
Yeah that made no sense as both regions have wanted independence for a long time
I meant their armies, those should have been mostly untouched, no? The sandc**ts were on their way to group up with them, but then Genocidal Sparrow showed up.
Arryns, no? They only sent cavalry to the north in the first place.
I see you've put as much thought into it as D&D did.
They're mostly unaffected by the war, but they lost all their leadership and apparently their new king is young and didn't look too ambitious.
>democracy
elective monarchy
Who else could select a king at this point, without going to war over it?
I hated how Qyburn was killed off as just an afterthought.
there's no build up to the mountain being sentient either. He is a golem following orders until that moment. They could have done something where cersei feeding him torture victims/wives wakes him up or something. Some frankenstein reference, but nothing. Just bye bye qyburn
>Uncle, please sit
what was the correct response here?
Walk out
>On your face, niece?
>Great actor gets turned into comic relief because he looks slightly odd
Makes me sad. He should have treated Sansa like he treated Julius Caesar.
sansa, please don't interrupt me, i'm speaking.
point out that she was nothing but a fricksleeve for a deposed, despotic king. she was never in the line of succession as long as there was a male heir to Winterfell.
>Niece, please remind us of your qualifications to rule the North beyond being raped by one of your bannermen.
>Remind her that he didn't sit down when he fought in the war for the two gigac**ts despite never even meeting them.
>fantasize about heading home to Roslin
I sat in prison for years, all because I had taken up arms to rescue you, my beloved niece. My lands burned, my people murdured, my sister, nephew, uncle, all killed in a war to save a niece I had never even met before today. You would do well to remember that, and to learn some courtesy.
he was unironically the best choice for king. noble, willing to rebel for righteous cause, married to a hottie with an heir on the way. Westerlands fear him for defending those windmills so strongly, freys wish to be him, neutral to the vale, reach, iron born and dorne with strong links to new ally up north and had no part in the murder of previous monarchs. He also worshipped the Seven, unlike Bran the Broken and was dumb enough to have to rely on advisors
Yep. You can argue that Bran was objectively the best choice because of his powers, since an all-knowing all-seeing king would be incredibly useful, but people are subjective. It's hard to believe that peasants wouldn't immediately oppose to a weird crippled boy on the throne after all the war and conflict they just went through.
Yeah what a great idea is to give absolute political power to the kid who can watch you jerk off 24/7. Who, by the way, was taught by a dude who used his magical powers to institute an oppressive secret police when he was hand of the king.
I would watch you masterubate, are you saying you wouldn't let me dominate you?
not if you're an ugly frick like bran, sorry
>Recover all his lands
>Married the hottest chick in the Riverlands, and thanks to the male Frey genocide their childrens will likely inherit the Twins too
>Uncle of pretty much half of the rulers of the kingdoms at the end of the show. He's the cornerstone of any political alliance
He's basically the most powerfull man in Westeros
Unironically would have made a lot more sense being chosen than Bran, if the show still had any kind of logic by this point.
Theon’s death was meaningless as well, tired of people pretending it was good. His sacrifice should’ve actually meant something. He didn’t need to charge at the night king, in 10 seconds Arya was going to save the day
>He didn’t need to charge at the night king, in 10 seconds Arya was going to save the day
Yeah I don't know why they out in that scene where Arya told him she was going to do that when he just ignored it anyway
Theon had been living on burrowed time for a while by then. Who cares how he died.
They literally just kept him around so his sister could humiliate him by constantly getting pussy. Would have been better to kill him off at anytime before
jon and theon taking on the NK together would have been kino. Theon jumps on his sword giving jon the chance to strike or Jon holds the sword while theon stabs the NK getting frozen in the process. Arya and Brienne could have held off the other white walkers or killed the dragon for the yaaaas queen crowd and Bran could have hypnotised the whitewalkers/zombies.
There are so many better ways it could have happened.
Perhaps Theon could get the Night King in the back of the calf allowing Jon to get the killing blow, a call back to the Lannister guard doing the same to Ned.
But this is all tears in rain.
Personally, I'm a fan of this ending
Would have been kino
Literally too kino
haha imagine if GoT had a good ending...
Seriously why the frick was Jaime portrayed as being utterly worthless as a fighter until the end?
It's not impossible to switch your dominant hand especially if you literally don't have the other one to mix up signals.
They said his "Instincts are all wrong" but like he must still know techniques and footwork and shit and many swordsman throughout history made a point of training both hands anyway.
Also many left-handed fighters were the terrors of the medieval ages because a lot of people didn't know how the frick to play against them.
He should've reclaimed at least a good amount of his fighting skill by S8, which would've still made him top-tier considering where he started.
moron
This.
I broke my right hand during a fencing accident, and while it was recovering I switched to only using my left hand. It took a couple of months to learn how to move but I got to the point where I was just about as good with my left as my right. And mind you I was just some normal guy doing HEMA, on the weekends, not one of the most skilled swordsmen on an entire continent.
I like it, better than what we got.
It still fit the character and was well foreshadowed.
Cersei as a whole tho was written as way more competent than she is in the books.
Where can I find me uncensored versions of this beauty?
It's like everyone wants to forget Game of Thrones even existed. One of the most bizarre fallouts of a pop culture phenomenon ever.
What's west of Westeros?
Wherever that stark king went with his fleet
Westereros
Westernmosteros.
>ctrl+f 'it fits'
>phrase not found
Anons I am extremely disappointed.
Reminder that Daario, a mercenary is still left in charge of Mereen all by himself. Imagine all the coups, violence and political upheaval that occurred as soon as Daenerys left
Daario was probably killed by the yunkians just like Cleon in Astapor

Her boobs are incredibly disappointing
ok? boobs are 1 part of a woman. show me how many women have her smirk and eyes and general feline disposition, probably not that many.
they'll complain about any woman's breasts

Y-y-you too
I did not care fore Cleganebowl.
just took the Rogue Prince East and became King of the Shadow and God-King of the Shadowbinders.
r8
Also I had like 30 kids, many of of them via rape
kys
the show is so forgettable that i didn't realize the cleganebowl actually happened.
Fricking Confirmed
nk seems like a chill guy
>ICE TO SEE YOU
Photos taken moments before disaster
what did they mean by this?
i feel like the whole point of sandor's arc was that he was supposed to find a way to stop his brother from living in his brain rent free. like have him see his brother and sort of cleganebowl for a while out of necessity, but ultimately he should realize that his brother is long dead and that he would be better off living his life for himself (or someone else)
idk why d&d had him kamikaze himself to kill a corpse for no real reason, other than to tie loose ends and do the cleganebowl with least effort possible
Still can't believe they chose to have Jaime deflower Brienne then leave her crying to run back to his b***h sister that he utterly hates by that point.
was this image done by an A.I.?
very scattered refence usage and laziness i think
Is there a character story arc they did not ruin?
I can't think of one
Jon Snow got out the most unscathed I guess and his story was "get resurrected to yell at a dead dragon and then go love in Canada"
>how GoT should have ended
damn straight
Nah all the major factions and characters gather for one big fight and then right when they are about to charge into eachother they stop and begin dancing and singing. They all come together in the end and celebrate diversity before burning Daenerys at the stake and enslaving all her ex slave subjects.
>This kingdom shall fall, and from the ashes shall arise a new order that will shake the very foundations of the world.
Since we're on the subject Danys ending and the Frenzied Flame are basically the same thing
What do they eat?
tree fruits and berries
tastiest cum in all of westeros
>the agricultural breadbasket of Westeros.
and it looks like a CGI hill in Ireland for some reason. huh.
>It's a 'Gwendoline takes Kit into the trailer for snu snu' episode again
What was the point of this character again?
>we want the gimp fetish audience
What was the point of this character again?
How the frick did he get inside the castle?
Same way he got out and then back to KL after threatening Tyrion and Jaime at gunpoint. One would imagine they could just wave to some guards to behead Bron in the courtyard 30 seconds after he left the room.
he rappelled in
hes bronn he's the fricking best, just turn your brain off
>Tyrion Lannister: The Eyrie. They say it's impregnable.
>Bronn: Give me 10 good men and some climbing spikes... I'll impregnate the b*tch.
He had 10 good men and some climbing spikes
Westeros is fricked

No. He will marry Arya and finally put a Stark as Queen Consort
