the mutt child flying the dragon made me chuckle it was so cringe but then the others shortly after on dragonback looked cringe too
You, who killed Game of Thrones to come into the world?
House of the Dragon is an ill-made, spiteful little production full of envy, lust, and low cunning. Moot's laws give you the right to make your threads and display that name since I cannot prove that the work is not GRRM's. And to teach me humility, the mods have condemned me to watch /hotd/ prance about wearing that proud /got/ that was the sigil of all the threads before us. But neither mods nor anons will ever compel me to let you turn Cinemaphile into your pizzahouse.
Fat frick lost me over 10 years ago when last book came out.
I don’t care what fanfic and who will put out there I probably won’t read it out of pure spite.
Show’s good tho. When it starts to derail I won’t watch it.

>Every single change made total sense
Other than Talisa.
Forgot about this b***h. She was a writer’s tool to kill Rob
fun fact: everything about Jace after leaving Winterfell was a fabrication by Mushroom. he lived out his days in Cregan’s rape dungeon. GRRM basically admitted it when fans kept asking about Jace’s “death” scene.
I’d argue that first 2 seasons were gold. Even in real of adaptation. Every single change made total sense and everything fit into a story structure from the books. 3rd season started diverging much further from the plot itself and changes become more and more noticable and didn’t fit well. 4th season was already pretty dead on arrival
Cutting the Riverlands as heavily as they did was understandable from a budget perspective but fricked up the general sense of place quite bad. Like you have Winterfell and King's Landing and then everything in between is just a nebulous void. And dumb shit like Jaime getting dragged around in a mud cage.
Season 2 has Robb Stark's awful boring Florence Nightingale romance, and the scene where Littlefinger and Arya are in the same room
In hindsight, we were letting a lot of things slide from the get-go
they also completely reversed all of Dany’s scenes, having her show the exact opposite behavior she did in the book. then, they started reducing the mystery elements that made the East interesting.
I get people hate Dany so this is no issue, but they were assassinating her character from this point, and ruining a lot of the suspense in her possible turn for the worst later on. plus it made the scenes miserable to watch.
I don't recall much... I liked what they did with Xaro Xhaon Daos at the time, although I hadn't read the books then. But I think this handsome gentleman explains why *potentially* such changes were okay
It stems from changes to the story without understanding what the story was - or, ultimately, from flaws in the source material. The question is, what's the point of the sojourn in Meereen? If it's just to keep her offstage until her triumphant return to Westeros, then it's fine to cut or abbreviate it (although that's no excuse for phoning it in). But if the Meereenese story is worth it on its own terms then rushing thru it and killing off Barristan in ignominious fashion was foolish.
If Martin has something else up his sleeve that makes it worth it, it doesn't seem like he told D&D - or if he did, they didn't listen
Nepotism put incompetent people in charge but decent source material compensated for it.
When the source material ran out so did their cover and it showed.
It started getting noticeably awful from season 5 (with cracks showing beforehand), when they still had two whole books to adapt, plus whatever was unpublished
I think they just got bored with it but refused to walk away or delegate to other writers, presumably because they would've lost money or fame
GoT had remarkably small writing staff (4 or 5 credited writers?) compared to other shows, and a much more complex plot
Finale season was so bad that it pissed off normies into forgetting about it out of pure spite. Keep in mind that these people while smile while consuming pure slop too
Normies liked S8 until Dany went nuclear. They hated it because they didn't get their Disney ending with Dany and Jon ruling together. They didn't mind any other bullshit in S8 or 5-7
Season 8 was kinda based because it pissed on the expectations of all the dumb normalBlack folk who thought seasons 5-7 were great and that they were gonna get a happy fairytale ending. Satisfying absolutely nobody was better than satisfying that "crowd".
Excellent point, but you make one error: season 8 delivered pretty much everything that normalgays (and reddit) were asking for >big battle between le forces of good and evil >romance between jon and dany >king's landing gets burned >CLEGANEBOWL
and it turned to ashes in their mouth
generals have a habit of accumulating gays that spam their theories and/or memes in every thread and cleganebowl was one such spam post
indeed
btw while the phrase "cleganebowl" *may* have originated here, the idea that the hound's arc should end in a badass fight with his brother predates the TV show itself
and it sucked then too, it's too obvious
i agree it was one of grrm's biggest cheats. the fact that these great lords and generals would let a teenager put them in lethal danger by reneging on a critical deal, while still following an oathbreaker, was barely plausible if not an outright plothole.
I mean obviously it's done to give the Freys a reason to betray him, but in-world it's not as far-fetched as people think. In-world fake history constantly has politicians ruining themselves and their followers for love; plus, you say "a teenager" but in-world Robb Stark is "a man grown" and the king, therefore hard to say no to - indeed, to say no is technically treason. Catelyn herself remarks that he's stubborn and wilful.
On top of that, it's hinted that Sybil Westerling dosed Robb with a love potion, thus his judgement was clouded; and Sybil was acting as part of some conspiracy involving Tywin, deliberately to undermine Robb by encouraging the marriage.
On top of that, Robb's followers are all technically oathbreakers too, and have no better option than him politically, unless they can strike a deal with the Lannisters - which several of them do, so the consequences of the action do play out mostly plausibly.
On top of that, we don't see the wedding, the courtship, so we don't know what arguments took place. We see it presented to Catelyn as a fait accompli, by men who are conspiring to sideline her as punishment for her freeing Jaime. Their actions in the chapter Catelyn speaks to Robb about it are heavily staged; perhaps they presented a falsely united front.
On top of which, Robb doesn't expect to be trapped south of the Neck with no way home except via Frey.
But I agree, it would make more sense if we found out that Robb had other traitorous advisors in his midst, or that his advisors had been ensorcelled too, or that his advisors were more concerned with sidelining the Freys than with giving Robb sound advice. And maybe we will.
True, people used to shit on me and call me incel when I complained about the direction of the show past season 4, season 8 was hella vindicating seeing everyone hate it
one of the most egregious and insulting scenes happens in s3 when they fanfic Catelyn feeling remorse over Jon, betraying the core of her character’s identity.
I would argue the Robb x Talisa instead of having it be the Jeyne Westerling debacle was much more insulting as similar to Catelyn it took away the tragedy of Robbs decision to marry Jeyne to both save her honor and the child she would have from the torment of being a bastard which derives from Robbs childhood witnessing his mother's cold cruelty to Jon
talisa was the first harbinger that something was very wrong in the production and that horrors awaited.
even in the books, the fact that Robb's men would let him marry some rando when it would create huge problems for them was already a stretch, but the pregnancy angle made it work. talisa was just laziness for it's own sake and heralded things to come
>even in the books, the fact that Robb's men would let him marry some rando when it would create huge problems for them was already a stretch, but the pregnancy angle made it work
She wasn't pregnant and there is plenty of precedent for kings fathering bastards. It's still funky even within the books. Only way it works imo is secret shenanigans among Robb's supporters and/or mind-altering drugs being used on Blackfish et al

I'd argue that they followed Robb because he kept winning battles. That was at the top of the list of reasons to stick with someone. But then he started breaking his oaths, was very lenient on his mother for letting the Kingslayer go, then executed a Lord for killing Lannisters. By that point he dropped the ball so many times, it was starting to overshadow his previous victories. It has been awhile since I read the books though

There were 2-3 on the show where Robb was being counselled by Roose on the war and he just drops everything because Talisa shows up and it was obvious this really pissed off Roose.
it did satisfy a large contingent of them though. Many of them were lukewarm on Dany and only cared about Starks. all the Starks survived and walked off into the sunset. it was definitely a happy ending for many of the types you’re describing.
I saw tons of starkgay normies who opined, “blah blah in the end poetic Jon goes back where he started no longer the secret Prince, so fitting” and shit how they’re glad the Starks survived. these people were drowned out at first but got louder as the negative press went on.
there are viewers who really only cared about Starks and watched for them to survive and win. they got what they wanted.

God I miss the /got/ threads from ~12-17 truly the golden age of Cinemaphile.. even season 5-8 were bearable cause the board would hate watch and meme on it constantly. /got/ and 2016 election night is by far the most I’ve ever laughed in life, and it’s almost a decade ago already. Jesus Christ the time…
I never understood the b***hing about this scene like being a good swordfighter is supposed to make you invulnerable to being stabbed from behind when fighting a dozen dudes by yourself.
I think the complaints are really more about the unsatisfying removal of a good character.
Especially when the events and characters in Daenerys' side weren't that great even without the loss of one of the more interesting and likeable characters in there.
It stems from changes to the story without understanding what the story was - or, ultimately, from flaws in the source material. The question is, what's the point of the sojourn in Meereen? If it's just to keep her offstage until her triumphant return to Westeros, then it's fine to cut or abbreviate it (although that's no excuse for phoning it in). But if the Meereenese story is worth it on its own terms then rushing thru it and killing off Barristan in ignominious fashion was foolish.
If Martin has something else up his sleeve that makes it worth it, it doesn't seem like he told D&D - or if he did, they didn't listen
It's less about it making no sense and more about the fact that its inherently bad writing to set up a character as a legendary warrior only to have them die in such a lame way.
For me? The exact moment the show ended is when Jaimie and the sellsword guy (already forgot his name) fight with the sand lesbians. It just looked like a joke. Like an episode of Power Rangers or some shit. And then right after that we get the "you need the bad pussy" scene.
Yup... there was no denying it anymore... the show was irredeemable shit.

Few amazing seasons in, when the viewer investment is at it's peak, utterly fascinated by all the possible routes the stories may take and all the intriguing theories and fates of their favorite characters...
Then they start churning out horribly disappointing episodes one after another. It was desperate, depressing. There was slight hope here and there, and then disappointment, again and again.
>want to start the books >I know the new one won't come out even after I'm done with the fifth one
sixth one is never coming out, right? grrm is too rich by now to care
You need that for a show to make good money, women have the most spending power and you need them to self insert as Rhaenerya to buy funko pops and limited edition pandora israeliteellery. I’ve even seen them buying 3D printed printed versions of Rhaeneryas crown for hundreds of dollars.
D&D very blatantly only cared about getting the red wedding on film. They thought they would become filmmaking royalty after that, and they almost got away with it. They also foolishly though GRRM would finish the next book before they got there.
it first aired in 2011
the first two seasons were quality but it slowly went to shit after that. I know steadily became more popular but the quality really decreased.
I stopped after season 3 but since it was so popular at the time I knew what was going on.
nobody gives a shit anymore because after 12 years, all the hype is gone and people see it for what it was. plus the last season was bad even for the fans of the show, nobody liked it.
>reminded about season 8 and the battle of winterfell >blow a brain aneurysm thinking about moronic "tactics" in that "battle"
Seriously what were they thinking
for me it's tyrion, the one guy with experience leading the defense of a castle/city, who's been in dire need of literally anything to do for 4 seasons, hiding in the crypts
>Be level 99 Assassin >Pick your target and jump him for the backstab >Scream at the top of your lungs as you fly in >Target turns around and grabs you mid-air
I get that they had to set up the knife swap scene somehow that they wanted so badly in there, but the lead up to it was horrid
I don’t see it, Damon has that kind of Aussie face that Heath Ledger had. Characters for Damon? He played a really believable villain in The Nightingale, it was a fricked up movie.
He’s a good cast too, it’s interesting they are making Blood the brains and the braun behind blood and cheese. I always imagined Blood a bit mentally slow and Cheese the brains.
The worst thing for me about the later seasons was what they did with Varys. He was such an enigmatic character in the first couple of seasons. You could never quite tell what his motives were or where his loyalties, if he has any, lay. He delivered a really interesting monologue in season 1 I think it was about how someone like him develops influence without any royal blood or knighthood or anything of the sort, but was deliberately vague about the details. He said something like "influence grows" and I found it really intriguing, he painted this picture of himself as a wise nobody who got in with the right people in the right places and coordinated his way into power by sharing the right secrets at the right time and playing different people against one another, to where he now wields significant authority and trust amongst powerful people.
Then the later seasons come and it turns out he's just a plain unambiguous good guy, his "little birdies" are just kids he meets and he's just a weirdo who pays them with candy to spy for him.
Changed the source material too much, realised they couldn't get to the ending without Dany going bad and killing Aegon out of jealousy because he breaks her hero narrative. Unfortunately they never introduced him so she just went evil for no reason.
Sure, I can give the some tips >get competent showrunners >don't start adapting unfinished book series where author is too disinterested to finish them
You know what happened
House of the Dragon was good tho
Is this a stealth hotd thread?
Season 2 is coming
Still ages away though. Did you watch the trailer?
watched the trailer yesterday
the mutt child flying the dragon made me chuckle it was so cringe but then the others shortly after on dragonback looked cringe too
>we never got a scene of them slamming their pussies together passionately
What is ai?
Like what?
It’s way better than GoT was since season 5
I did. And I’m patient
Hi patient, I’m dad
no
it has the same problems
What didn’t you like about it?
Boring and predictable
Of course it’s predictable, George actually finished writing it unlike Got.
Black folk

It was average at best. Too much womyn le strong moments and then the black Velayrons. Come on.
hotd looks like what GoT would be if GoT started at season 5, just a shitty show with an uninteresting cast
also they made a valyrian family into Black folk and gave them dusty grey mop wigs which is funny as frick
season 8. 7 was also bad.
It went downhill after season 4
I’d argue that first 2 seasons were gold. Even in real of adaptation. Every single change made total sense and everything fit into a story structure from the books. 3rd season started diverging much further from the plot itself and changes become more and more noticable and didn’t fit well. 4th season was already pretty dead on arrival
Yeah I agree with you. First 2 seasons were the best. Danys scenes got worse and worse.
>Every single change made total sense
Other than Talisa.
Cutting the Riverlands as heavily as they did was understandable from a budget perspective but fricked up the general sense of place quite bad. Like you have Winterfell and King's Landing and then everything in between is just a nebulous void. And dumb shit like Jaime getting dragged around in a mud cage.

What specifically was opposite for Dany?
Nepotism put incompetent people in charge but decent source material compensated for it.
When the source material ran out so did their cover and it showed.

When normies boycott your work for non Woke reasons, you REALLY messed up.
Normies liked S8 until Dany went nuclear. They hated it because they didn't get their Disney ending with Dany and Jon ruling together. They didn't mind any other bullshit in S8 or 5-7
aaaaaaagggggggghhhhhh....
Tbh I really felt that
Season 8 was kinda based because it pissed on the expectations of all the dumb normalBlack folk who thought seasons 5-7 were great and that they were gonna get a happy fairytale ending. Satisfying absolutely nobody was better than satisfying that "crowd".
Not gonna lie I’m really excited to see non bookgays to Rhaenrya getting eaten
They're gonna retconn it I bet. They're already changing a bunch of key stuff about Aegon.
Wouldn’t they made it even more graphic as they want to make Aegon as big of a villain as possible
don’t let yourself get excited. they’re going to twist it into a subversive gurlboss moment where she somehow “chooses” it
Correct. She will walk into the fire stoic and unflinching while pussified Aegon watches on in emasculated horror.
Cue the triumphant girlboss score by that goatfricker composer and you've got a nice scene for the homosexual reactors at the bar to cry to.
Keep preaching brotha. Absolutely ridiculous normies only had problem with season 8 and not 5-7.
it was fun to watch the whiplash, a few normies jumped off after S8E3 but there were a bunch that still thought it was good up till the danerys twist
This is a massive cope.
You watched the show as eagerly as all the other normies and shat up the internet with your unfunny slop maymays.
Excellent point, but you make one error: season 8 delivered pretty much everything that normalgays (and reddit) were asking for

Well if Cinemaphile seriously thought that was something to look forward to then Cinemaphile should be thoroughly ashamed of itself

But I’m rewatching it again. I just love the dialogue from earlier seasons never gets old.
Why’d normies have to ruin it bros
I wish I could see a small council meeting with Stannis, Tywin and Roose even though such a thing wouldn't make sense.
It really is a shame. Obviously the show needed 1-2 more seasons to finish off properly. Sad the actors couldn’t be fricked to stick around.
An interaction like that should’ve been possible, I’m more sad about those character interactions we’ll never see too
why are you blaming the actors when it’s very well documented that D&D were the ones who refused to continue.
God I miss the /got/ threads from ~12-17 truly the golden age of Cinemaphile.. even season 5-8 were bearable cause the board would hate watch and meme on it constantly. /got/ and 2016 election night is by far the most I’ve ever laughed in life, and it’s almost a decade ago already.

>tfw missed out on boarposting
good times
Was this the actual exact moment the show passed the point of no returb?
I never understood the b***hing about this scene like being a good swordfighter is supposed to make you invulnerable to being stabbed from behind when fighting a dozen dudes by yourself.
Add in the one fight scene we get from his POV he's way slower than the pit fighter and ends up standing there using his armor to wait for an opening.
Its almost like he's fricking old.
Doesn't matter how skilled you are if your reflexes and stamina aren't on point.
I think the complaints are really more about the unsatisfying removal of a good character.
Especially when the events and characters in Daenerys' side weren't that great even without the loss of one of the more interesting and likeable characters in there.
It stems from changes to the story without understanding what the story was - or, ultimately, from flaws in the source material. The question is, what's the point of the sojourn in Meereen? If it's just to keep her offstage until her triumphant return to Westeros, then it's fine to cut or abbreviate it (although that's no excuse for phoning it in). But if the Meereenese story is worth it on its own terms then rushing thru it and killing off Barristan in ignominious fashion was foolish.
If Martin has something else up his sleeve that makes it worth it, it doesn't seem like he told D&D - or if he did, they didn't listen
It's less about it making no sense and more about the fact that its inherently bad writing to set up a character as a legendary warrior only to have them die in such a lame way.
Would have been better to have a named Meereenese character poison him, easier to film too
For me? The exact moment the show ended is when Jaimie and the sellsword guy (already forgot his name) fight with the sand lesbians. It just looked like a joke. Like an episode of Power Rangers or some shit. And then right after that we get the "you need the bad pussy" scene.
Yup... there was no denying it anymore... the show was irredeemable shit.
for me it was the season opening dialogue concerning anal sex

GoT always seemed very lame to me.
Few amazing seasons in, when the viewer investment is at it's peak, utterly fascinated by all the possible routes the stories may take and all the intriguing theories and fates of their favorite characters...
Then they start churning out horribly disappointing episodes one after another. It was desperate, depressing. There was slight hope here and there, and then disappointment, again and again.
Man, it sucked. Unbelievably so.
>want to start the books
>I know the new one won't come out even after I'm done with the fifth one
sixth one is never coming out, right? grrm is too rich by now to care
fricking rat son of b***h
>too scared to say he won't finish it
fricking ballless homosexual
women started watching it self-inserted into dany
that was the kiss of death
Feminist icon turned into a fascist unhinged mass murderer... YIKES
you now remember the spate of women naming their daughters kahlessi or daenerys
This is why hotd was dead on arrival for me. The show is completely catered to women, the entire fandom is 90% feminist prostitutes at this point
You need that for a show to make good money, women have the most spending power and you need them to self insert as Rhaenerya to buy funko pops and limited edition pandora israeliteellery. I’ve even seen them buying 3D printed printed versions of Rhaeneryas crown for hundreds of dollars.
D&D very blatantly only cared about getting the red wedding on film. They thought they would become filmmaking royalty after that, and they almost got away with it. They also foolishly though GRRM would finish the next book before they got there.
it first aired in 2011
the first two seasons were quality but it slowly went to shit after that. I know steadily became more popular but the quality really decreased.
I stopped after season 3 but since it was so popular at the time I knew what was going on.
nobody gives a shit anymore because after 12 years, all the hype is gone and people see it for what it was. plus the last season was bad even for the fans of the show, nobody liked it.
>Stannis keeping his kids in jars
For what purpose?
he was waiting to get his azor ahai powers to bring them back to life
his wife is so fugly
>reminded about season 8 and the battle of winterfell
>blow a brain aneurysm thinking about moronic "tactics" in that "battle"
Seriously what were they thinking
The two israelites long since stopped caring by then. They didn't even try. It was just nonsense of the highest degree to get it over and done with
for me it's tyrion, the one guy with experience leading the defense of a castle/city, who's been in dire need of literally anything to do for 4 seasons, hiding in the crypts
posting her for no reason
I still think season 1-4 is solid.
>*teleports behind you*
>"heh nothing personnel, kid"
Imagine writing this and thinking it's ok
>Be level 99 Assassin
>Pick your target and jump him for the backstab
>Scream at the top of your lungs as you fly in
>Target turns around and grabs you mid-air
I get that they had to set up the knife swap scene somehow that they wanted so badly in there, but the lead up to it was horrid
Maisie looks like the Norf meme in that screencap lmao
>'ate Freys
>'ate the noit king
>'ate Lannisters

>luv big baratheon wiener

Simple as

her smirk has to be the luckiest facial deformity anyone has ever gotten
Close. My massive Pringles wiener (I call it Prickles) is the luckiest.
>facial deformity
uh?
I never realized she was half smirking at rest
Resting cute face
Sexo
Her Hightower blood was smirking when Joffrey told her about Rhaenyra's death
i hated how her breasts looked so nice n perky in that wedding(?) dress she wore early on then seeing her saggy sausage breasts afterwards
You need to stop watching porn filled with bolt on fake breasts.
it was never good.
Find me a battle Dorne won?
Zero physical evidence for the Battle above the Gods Eye
What about the giant dead dragon underwater?
he looks like damon herriman
any characters for him to play in future seasons?
I don’t see it, Damon has that kind of Aussie face that Heath Ledger had. Characters for Damon? He played a really believable villain in The Nightingale, it was a fricked up movie.
He would have been an excellent Cheese now that I think about it.
I'm fine with the Cheese they casted.
He’s a good cast too, it’s interesting they are making Blood the brains and the braun behind blood and cheese. I always imagined Blood a bit mentally slow and Cheese the brains.
Post the bomes or it never happened
Greens won btw
The worst thing for me about the later seasons was what they did with Varys. He was such an enigmatic character in the first couple of seasons. You could never quite tell what his motives were or where his loyalties, if he has any, lay. He delivered a really interesting monologue in season 1 I think it was about how someone like him develops influence without any royal blood or knighthood or anything of the sort, but was deliberately vague about the details. He said something like "influence grows" and I found it really intriguing, he painted this picture of himself as a wise nobody who got in with the right people in the right places and coordinated his way into power by sharing the right secrets at the right time and playing different people against one another, to where he now wields significant authority and trust amongst powerful people.
Then the later seasons come and it turns out he's just a plain unambiguous good guy, his "little birdies" are just kids he meets and he's just a weirdo who pays them with candy to spy for him.
When they cut fAegon from the show, Varys lost all his purpose as a character.
every time I see a targaryen and their disgusting pallid hair all I can think about is how terribly inbred they are. Gross.
Glad those sibling-frickers got BTFO'd by Bobby
The Mountain didn’t start the war, he didn’t do the burnings.
The burning of the Riverlands was an inside job.
Isn't this one of Preston Jacobs's theories?
You’re probably talking to him
Nah
Same thing as BCS. Ending was utterly ass.
Breaking Bad chads stay winning.
remember what they took from you
This show was like early game of thrones with no magic stuff
What’s this?
Game of republics
>Uncle, please sit.
Unnecessarily cruel
Lies. Is it Rome? Might be kino it if it has Fitzjames/Edmure in it.
he plays et tu brutus
also in Outlander
I tried to watch the first episode but I struggled to get into it. My Nan really likes it though.
I watched like 10 episodes and then stopped because of a subtitle issue but I'll restart it again. It really was kino.
spartacus
I switched the channel a couple times to Spartacus when it was airing, literally every single time it was just graphic gay sex.
And what of good Solonius?
Changed the source material too much, realised they couldn't get to the ending without Dany going bad and killing Aegon out of jealousy because he breaks her hero narrative. Unfortunately they never introduced him so she just went evil for no reason.
>utterly forgotten
Is it though?
They should of committed to showing Maisie Williams ass.
Tried this slop
Can't bring myself to care for same characters ive seen millions of times done before. Series is just a soap opera.
what about the sum being more than its parts?
>4 years of "What the frick happened to GoT"
Is HBO making these threads to get info to avoid another massive frick-up?
Sure, I can give the some tips
>get competent showrunners
>don't start adapting unfinished book series where author is too disinterested to finish them
