It should be a thread of hate. The hate should unite us all and bring us together through joy... The joy of hating this crap
nizz man it is ok if people think this season has been a flaming pile of dogshit. it shouldnt impact your enjoyment of the show just like your enjoyment of the show doesnt impact my deep hatred of what i am watching
you honestly seem worked up that people's opinion doesnt match yours tho so it is impacting something i would assume
Spoiler HBO is only going to tease us with two photos. Anyway, our first photo is the most important one. This photo is heavy, y’all…Daenerys looks like she’s gone full Emperor Palpatine and is surveying the Galactic Senate right after she told the Unsullied to “execute Order 66.” Finally, we have Trion, looking extremely unhappy, as he would be:
I’m not trying to come across mad that people’s opinion don’t match mine, I just think certain complaints are fucking stupid. Other complaints are justified. I’m definitely not worked up... And I’m also relaxing drinking wine right now and decided to engage. I don’t fucking care, people can hate all they want. Sit down Sunday and be ready to finish hate watching and then move onto the other thing to rush to a board to bitch about.
The analysis of the first few paragraphs describing where the characters are was not bad. It goes off the rails when it blames the patriarchy for blindspots regarding favorite tv characters. It also is trying to justify Daenerys's mass murder post surrender. He's arguing that a mostly one person/dragon destruction of the city's military defenses wasn't enough to inspire fear, she also needed to fry every citizen and building in sight.
This post has given me a lot of comfort because now I know it is possible that this season could have been worse
Martin should sell more rights to different media. Finish ASOIAF with different endings across video games, music, art series, movies.
I’m hoping GRRM just randomly drops all the final books at once when the series ends. That would be hilarious
Fans angry that Dany went evil are babies who probably didn't get into the show until later (not to gatekeep, but there you go). Being angry at the execution is fair dinkum but the idea has George written all over it.
Posted this in the book thread and I don’t think anyone has said anything in this yet: I wonder if Dany is going incinerate Davos when she finds out he was helping Tyrion help Jaime and Cersei escape. As far as we know the skiv is still there, so Tyrion will know they didn’t make it out.
Again, I don’t think I’ve seen anyone in that side of things disagree that her becoming a monster is Martin-esque. Everyone is bucking the execution of it.
Tyrion: “the people that live there. They are innocents, like the ones you liberated in Mereen” Dany: “In Mereen, the slaves turned on their masters and liberated themselves the moment I arrived” This whole conversation is Dany not giving a fuck
This honestly really irritated me. If there is a ‘secret entrance’ into the Red Keep that was completely unprotected why didn’t they just send someone through that to kill Cersei?
I imagine it was likely no one knew about it. There were lots of secret passages in the castle not many knew about, such as the one Tyrion used when he escaped and killed Tywin. If I had to guess only Varys and Tyrion knew about it, and they weren’t exactly keen on helping Dany for various reasons.
The only person that knew about it was the Hand of the Queen? All he had to do was tell Arya about it and the whole god damn war would have been over
He never actually wants to kill cersei. I think he made that clear when he set Jaime free with the intent of him escaping to somewhere far away.
I disagree, it didn't have to be rushed. Rushing these last episodes made it sloppy. HBO begged them to do more seasons/episodes
Oh definitely, if there is anyone that deserves to be executed for incompetence and outright treason it is Tyrion. He has hindered Dany from taking over Westeros on purpose since they have arrived. Either that or the show has made him so dumb he did it on accident.
I think that HBO exec is telling a half truth to get HBO out in front of the criticism, which is smart but self-serving. Beg them to do more episodes? Sure. But the budget was surely the budget, so it was essentially telling DD to neuter what they wanted to do from a CGI/big battle perspective. There’s no such thing as a blank check in Hollywood.
People will still bitch at the books because they are unhappy in their own lives and its their own way to vent out their frustrations about life
People will think what they want to think to help serve their justification no matter how many facts you put in front of them
The fucking unsullied growing 20 x overnight and the Dorthraki even living at all has me beyond triggers and the fact that they worked on this season for so long and still happened to fuck up troop numbers so badly...
I get nizz's frustration and wanting to counter the amounts of bitching in the thread. He clearly is enjoying the show despite some flaws. I think I can admit its far from a perfect season but I've largely enjoyed this season. So when you come in the thread and have 600 messages since sunday at 10pm and the majority of them are just bitching and nitpicking its annoying as fuck. Still people can bitch and be annoyed. I've vented. Lets just hope we get a good final 80
At Winterfell when they were calculating what they had left and mentioned losing half the army it didn't jive with what I saw the previous EP and that was the undead dominating and destroying everyone for like 77 minutes. The first fucking shot of war they literally lost all but a dozen fucking Dorthraki who rode back. They ended up sacrificing the majority of the unsullied because they had them before the moat. Sure some got inside the gates but lots of them died inside the walls. Add to that Dany returned to Dragonstone with all the remaining Unsullied and they got attacked and the vast majority of them killed by Euron. That was very evident when Dany stood outside Kings Landing with like 2 dozen fucking Unsullied. Yet three days later they grew in numbers and for the next EP they are now in the thousands. That's unacceptable. Fucking triggered.
