HBO's Game of Thrones - Final Season VIII - 2nd Thread

[Brad_Pitt]

Jaime and Cersai could have survived those bricks also Dany probably could survive that stabbing. It's happened before.







The show had too much scope to cover, too many characters to cloak with plot armor, it was never gonna make it to a GOAT finale.

Nah Jon knows where to stick his dagger.

[metafour]

Jon couldn't be accepted as King because hes a Targaryan and hes a rightful heir because :
1. Jon doesn't want to be king, he never wanted to be king, he was the rigtful heir but he didn't want it, he hates the idea of ruling and being king
2. The Unsullied and Dothraki had Jon as prisoner and wanted to execute him, so even if Sansa, Arya whatever wanted Jon to be king (even if Jon never wanted it) and said he is the king by right, the unsullied and dothraki would never accept that after he killed their queen, and they both had a big army, and neither them nor the westerosi people wanted another war and bloodshed, thats why they needed to find a solution and find a new king, someone everyone would agree to

*Talks about how the story is great, but you have to have a high IQ to understand the genius behind it*
*Proceeds to post complete illogical crap, proving that he has no actual knowledge about the lore*

Jon would absolutely be accepted as a Targaryan King. He is already King in the North which means that he holds support there as well as from the Vale. Dorne, the only powerful Kingdom which hasn't been completely decimated, has been PLOTTING to put a Targaryan back on the throne this entire time, so in reality they would LOVE the fact that he is Rhaegar's heir. Even recently legitimized Gendry would obviously back him with the Stormlands, as they have camaraderie and Gendry clearly respects him. So who do you have that would oppose his rule? Yara and her 10 ships LMAO? Euron held virtually all of the Iron Fleet and he got decimated.

We all know that Jon doesn't want to rule. The issue isn't that he didn't get chosen to sit on the Iron Throne, its that somehow literally NO ONE even brought his name up into the conversation even though literally half the people "voting" have seen him show compassion, honour, etc. countless times and have proclaimed hard-ons for "Jon Snow" the man (like Davos). Instead of his name even coming up at all, within minutes they all just agree that Bran should be King? The guy who literally a few episodes ago basically claimed that he lives in his own little world and isn't even "human" anymore? And why would all those random houses agree to Bran? None of them know anything about the "Three Eyed Raven" (and even if they did it would rightfully creep them out), so in reality he is just a mute cripple to them with zero qualification. His own sister (Sansa) would get more support as she at least has experience as a ruler.

And who gives a **** about what the Unsullied or Dothraki want? They are the foreigner army of a failed ruler, so why would anyone take their opinion into account as they hold literally zero claim or voting right in Westeros? You are telling me that the uber-proud Northmen are going to "bend the knee" to the demands of Grey Worm LMAO? The North would GLADLY go to war over Jon Snow, in fact, the whole thing about him being imprisoned and no one doing anything about it was absurd. "Our appointed King - sorry but we just can't do anything, Grey Worm says that you need to be punished for doing the right thing and saving us all" LOL. Then the Unsullied just up and sail away, so what exactly was the point of upholding the "punishment" of Jon Snow LMAO?

[kingofturtles]

Lol at the retard being king but Sansa not bending the knee. If I had said "yes" then she said no I would have been like "oh what? Ok I am a no to"

Wish Jon would have burned

[Uhyeahokay]

This was funny

[NasStan]

Did our guy Rickon get mentioned once this season? Feel like we had the Stark reunion and he never got a mention.

Anyway saw people posting before but my faves I've saved on Youtube over the years: Always a good reminder of what made me love the show

[juvefan]

I liked the major points (nk being defeated, dany going crazy, jon snow kills her), everything else was below par and riddled with plot holes or plain retarded

Jon snow finally fullfills azor ahai/lightbringer prophecy

tempered blade in water => defeating white walkers didnt save the kingdom
tempered blade in heart of a lion => defeating cersei (lannisters sigil is lion) didnt save kingdom
tempered blade in nissa nissa => killing dany "saved the kingdom", broke the wheel

I'm sure in the books itll play out better. This season was 20 episodes jammed into 6 and D&D know fuk all of what GRRM does

I just wish the last scene with dany and jon had more emotion. She literally got stabbed and died 2 seconds later. Contrast with red wedding where robb stands up after he gets shot with 10 arrows or when nights watch killed jon snow and he got stabbed 5 times and still gets a word out or even when ygritte died

Didn’t Ramsay kill Rickon?

Greyworm got stabbed similarly when fighting the Harpies. Fine the next day. Jon shot with 3 arrows, no prob. The hound basically turned inside out by Brienne, doing strongman with logs over his head next season. The list is infinite...

Didn’t Ramsay kill Rickon?

Yes, shot with an arrow when Ramsey made him run across the field to start the Battle of the Bastards.

[eltoro24]

Yah no **** everyone would have been like I’m out. Yara got independence last season. But I guess the writers forgot.

[mandarino]

Why did Bran urge Sam to tell Jon about his birth?


Really didn’t like that Greyworm had so much power this episode, did not make sense and he left like half an hour later. Just tell Jon to come back then.

I dunno, so rushed.

[NasStan]

Didn’t Ramsay kill Rickon?

Yep

[ko300zx]

Why did Bran urge Sam to tell Jon about his birth?

In the end? For no reason at all. LUL

[CaliSuperSport]

I got a question...I've seen some people touching on it ITT....

Was there any implication that the Night King was reason for winter, or is there still going to be a "long winter" even with him gone?

They didn't really depict any massive storm coming. At the end of Season 7 you saw snowfall in the South but then the weather looked fine in the finale (except the wall of course).

i didn't even think she could make that face cause the whole series she's had the same facial expressions lol was impressed as ****

lmao that same thought came into my head. I was just like "nice, she's showing more range with her emotions."

Nah Jon knows where to stick his dagger.

[HeavyLifter292]

Jon Snow:

1. Rightful heir to the Iron Throne - Varys sacrificed his life to let the realm know this in the previous episode
2. Saved all of humanity from the NK because he was the only one who cared
3. Saved hundreds of thousands more innocent people by killing the woman he loved

And not a single fcking person at the council, which included 3 of his family members, tried to make the case that he should be the king? Because a slave solider without a cock from a different country said he needed to be punished?

So they sent him to the Night's Watch, which has no reason to exist anymore as punishment? And then Grey Worm fcked right off back to Naath and he's still punished?

This is how the wrote the ending of the main character? The Ice in the Song of Ice and Fire?

Lmao just lmao. Anyone defending this chit is literally retarded

so he can kill danaerys and take the throne for himself obviously

[eltoro24]

Brans actually a psychopath. Knew it would drive Dany mad and burn the city so he could become king.

Bran set everything up. He’s been playing 4d chess while everyone else has been playing checkers.

[CaliSuperSport]

The episode was a mess but it makes sense that Greyworm was in a position of power at the end. Dany made him "Master of War" or something before she died.

Tbh...that scene of her speaking on the steps would have been a great launch pad for a REAL Mad Queen story. I thought the speech part was really good.

I mean...he watched his sister get raped and then told her how pretty she looked to creep her out. Dude's kind of weird.

first off yeah the whole scene was retarded but if jon snow was made king im pretty sure dorne, the iron islands, the dothraki, and the unsullied wouldve rioted because he killed their queen

second he didnt want the throne. he just wants to live out the rest of his days in peace with the freefolk

Just lol if you think hes staying at the nights watch. they literally show him going north with the freefolk

but theon had one of the best speeches of all time.... of all time!!

you hear that? that's the mating call of the northmen!

"Why do you think I came all this way?"
"You were where you were supposed to be."


GG Bran the broken. GG indeed.

Winter's have come and gone throughout the history - nothing to do with the Night King (he's not even in the books). Seasons in Westeros are always of varying lengths, could last months to years, but going by what the show said with regards to the Night King and Winter (which isn't much), I guess as long as he was around it would have stayed.

When Jon was beyond the wall they showed one bit of green sprouting up so I guess it's over now

One of the biggest revelations in the entire 8 seasons was who Jon really was. Even if what you say were true, to make it nothing more than something to rustle Dany's panties is pathetic either way.

[ohiostate124]

[2RDEYE]

bran can see everyone having sex in the past

u were so beautiful that night arya

u were so beautiful that night jon. that thing u did with ur tongue

[BigBallsMcgee]

Fuk the 6 episodes. The problem was the horrible writing and plot arcs

that was because of the condensed season. if they had time obviously it could have been better

[ko300zx]

that was because of the condensed season. if they had time obviously it could have been better

It's two fold. Yes it was condensed which results in an inevitably rushed ending...but the writing was also just bad in a lot of parts. You can still rush an ending while skipping brothel jokes and actually cleaning up the story a bit better.

[CaliSuperSport]

lol I felt kinda bad for him after that speech, even though he fuked Robb over. Robb is one of my favorite fictional characters ever.

Winter's have come and gone throughout the history - nothing to do with the Night King (he's not even in the books). Seasons in Westeros are always of varying lengths, could last months to years, but going by what the show said with regards to the Night King and Winter (which isn't much), I guess as long as he was around it would have stayed.

Cool thanks for clearing it up.

[southpaw01]

It was a condensed season because D&D didn't want to do it anymore and said they wanted the show to be around 75 hours or whatever it is. HBO wanted more episodes and seasons.

[ohiostate124]

Didn’t the red priests support Dany? I think they said Drogon took her body east.

Inb4 resurrected

Obviously not really but interesting to think about.
