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

[WestAfrica]

D&D said in the post show thingy that Dany went apechit when she saw the Red Keep and was reminded of the last 300 years of what her family went through. This is all Job’s fault. Everyone died fighting over the throne, dozens of families, his own family. Varys tells him he would be the greatest king that he had ever known, Jon still says no. Lmao fk this dude.

Sansa crew

[ohiostate124]

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned I guess.

So how many letters did Varys send? Dany about to have a fuked up day next Sunday.

Likes:
-Looked good
-Good music
-Tyrion and Jaime scene

Dislikes:
-I was actually insulting peoples' intelligence for thinking that Jaime would be going to help/join Cersei, thought it was beyond retarded given his character arch and that he was going there to kill her when he heard she was doing well. What a stupid ass end to his character, a pathetic cuck until the end.
-Clegane bowl wasn't even in like the top 10 fights... Ned vs. Jaime was better than that.
-Trying to sell me on the "mad queen" angle, when for the first time I understand why she is pissed off lol, don't blame her at all for what she did.
-Not going to like how they wrap this up.

I understand why she was pissed off.

Having BELLS be the last straw was retarded. She needed a final push. Something like the kings landing defenders throwing down their swords, then someone in the crowd shooting greyworm with a bow. Not bells. That was nonsensical.

So I've been saying it all season and that you have to view this show as a popcorn movie or you won't enjoy it. Well, this episode was that. Just popcorn. And because of it, I enjoyed it as a spectacle. The imagery was great. The action sequences were fun. But the problem is, this show isn't operating on just one episode.

Game Of Thrones has ruined their show's legacy. This was just more bad writing. Jaime's arc meant nothing. Dany became the Mad Queen quite easily. I guess she doesn't want to live at King's Landing. I know she wanted the people to fear her, but they're all dead now.

Why was there still so many Unsullied after looking like they all got killed during the Battle Of Winterfell? Oh, that's right, so it looks like Dany still has a intimidating force.

Those ballistas that were made to look like such a dangerous weapon turned out to be as harmless as slingshots. The inconsistency of the writing drives me crazy. Speaking of which, dragon fire obviously is a lot more powerful than we thought. Or is it because the script called for it to be? Who cares now I guess.

To those who like to combat the people who have critical views of the show are a bunch of f@gs. We get it, you like the trash the show's become. A lot of us are just venting our displeasure with it considering we've been fans since the beginning. It's also fun mocking it and people who actually value this garbage.

So with all that said, it'll be interesting to see how this train wreck concludes in the last episode. I think that it's clear that Dany is going to die since it's now the Starks vs. her and her army.

So you'll be back watching this "train wreck" next week?


Let me guess... you're just going to watch because you "invested so much time already"

LMAO

[TommyRO]

It’s weird how the writers say “I think this is why they did this and I don’t think this”. Lol I’m confused, they are the writers?? Shouldn’t they know the characters inside and out and be able to explain their motives and why they do things? It’s very strange.

Writers tried to follow the books till GRRM basically fukked off. They had season 6 which had battle of bastards and winds of winter and then s7 spoils of war but other than those most have been garbage. They have no direction

[CGatto]

I thought Jamie was going to give Cersei a mercy killing in the trophy room. Quicker than burned alive or captured

[Lone Warrior]

Too much Arya this episode. Girl straight up looks like a goblin, pretty safe bet this will be the height of her acting career.

[ko300zx]

Thats your opinion, opinions are not facts. This season has the worst writing out of all the seasons, my opinion and not a fact either. First 4-5 seaons of game of thrones is a masterpiece.

Lol. Go rewatch some of them. I've been doing it the last two weeks and some of the same sht some of you complain about now happens all the time. I just watched Brienne fight a bear with a wooden sword, get "punched" in the face twice by this bear, with no extra cuts on her, nor knocking her down, while a 1-armed Jamie jumps in, then climbs 10 feet up a wall with 1 hand.

Let's stop pretending every other season was "a masterpiece."

[USADave85]

How do you wanna defend the ballistas going from snipers to completely completely useless over 2 episodes?

First ballista hit its first shot from 1000+ meters out while they're flying 30 story's in the air. Now dozens of ballistas on the ships and on the walls go full potato, over and over again. This episode felt like they needed to end the series in a hurry.

The Hound vs Mountain was mediocre. Jamie and Cersei went out lame. Dany lit thousands of women and children on fire without being provoked. 45 minutes of dust and bricks falling so they can save on choreography, writing and acting. The episode was visually appealing, but was empty.

The entire episode felt low IQ after watching the series. There's no way they had originally planned the series to end this way.

[OptimistPrime11]

Great episode.


Made up a little for the atrocities that were the first 4 episodes this year.

[MustardTiger17]

Tyrion hasn't made one smart or right choice since when? The battle of Blackwater or whatever?

I know I'm not supposed to like Danny know, but I emphasized with her this episode. Her best friend got killed in front of her, 2 Dragons ded, her Hand is a twice baked potato, Jon is a mopey *******, Varys betrayed her etc. Fuk it, might as burn everything in sight.

[WestAfrica]

Pretty sure it wasn’t the bells. When Dany was on Dragonbrah the bells were ringing and the screen kept cutting to images of the Red Keep where her family used to live and the source of all her problems. And she gives no **** about the North or those people. She even said it herself, Jon would get all the acclaim and she was just there waiting for a m8.

Lol this.

Note that I havent seen the spoilers thank God but I'm putting this in a spoiler tag because I'm not being that guy.

Spoiler!

I have to imagine the way this ends is the way it all started. Arya becomes the King Slayer, Tyrion becomes the Robert, and Jon becomes the Ned. Remember "the game of thrones is a wheel"

Supposedly in the books Jon and Sansa are hardcore into one another. And shes a redhead.

[Scarrdbutsmartr]

Im trying hard not to be a hater but ...



Daenerys attacks ships in the daylight and one dragon immediately goes down from Scorpion shots
Daenerys has ONE dragon left and she chooses to attack the ships and the castles AGAIN in the middle of the day


WUT?

Are we supposed to believe she wouldnt have attacked at night when they had almost ZERO percent of shooting her down with scorpions. We know the dragons can fly and fight at night due to the battle for the north/night king..

This isnt even military tactics but just common sense ....I dont even.

[tnel00]

everyone loves to watch a trainwreck

[frozennorth]

Well I really hate the mad queen arc and I guess Dany is gonna die now. All I can say is it better not be Arya, that will be the most trash writing and I will forever think of the show differently.

On the positive side... episode was visually amazing. Tyrion and Jamie scene was great. For some reason Qyburns death was a great moment for me, felt like old GoT....

[theACEofSPADES]

On the bright side, who liked the shot of Drogon appearing from the darkness behind Dany?

[BearyManilowe]

I'm gonna watch it because I still enjoy it on some level. But that doesn't negate how bad the writing has become and how badly the writers have destroyed the legacy of a show that could have stood with some of the greats like Breaking Bad, etc. Plus it's one more episode. My posts about this show or why I'm still watching it are consistent unlike the writing you seem to love so much.

[IIIWolverineIII]

Dany and Jon are Anakin and Padme of the Star Wars prequels.

The writers/directors have given us no reason to believe they are in love nor is her turn to evil even somewhat believable.

[DASBUNKER]

At this point Im hoping GRRM finishes the fkn thing at some point and rewrites all this mess.

Jesus this isn't hard to understand. Surprise attack vs. Danny having time to see what the defenses look like.. She was already for the past 2 seasons showing that Dany was bordering on "Mad Queen" mode. She had a vision of herself walking through the throne with Kings Landing completely destroyed SEASONS ago.. People assumed that it was snow, but it was actually ash.

[wickedman]

You understand her killing little kids after the bell was wrung?

Also cersei deserved to be killed with a knife/sword etc, not hugging to Jamie with falling rocks/building.

It's war brotha, **** happens. How many times has her dumb ass listened to these plans that add extra steps to her end goal and gotten screwed over? How did she know the bells weren't another Cersei trap? Who the **** rang those things anyway, Tyrion told Jaime to set that up if he got Cersei to surrender, he never even made it to her.

[stevedarsh]

How is it a plot hole, some of you guys are so ****ing unimaginative.

Do you think its possible that there were 25k Unsullied and 25k Doth at KL and then had another force elsewhere not at the battle? Why is it that bc you don’t see something you guys can’t believe it?

In literature and film if you are never shown something and it is never mentioned, then it suddenly happens, this is called a "deus ex machina". I'll let you look this term up on your own and figure out why it's considered a very sloppy narrative device.

Bran will kill her by taking over drogon and having it eat her. Please let Bran do something.

Nah I just don't have unrealistic viewpoints of past seasons vs this season. I'm able to understand why things are the way that they are because of budget reasons, actors or show runners wanting to leave, etc.

[OptimistPrime11]

The story and character arcs were complete nonsense, so much potential tossed out the window.

However, the cinematography/sfx and music composition was 9.5/10.

The Hound finally yelled, "LOOK AT ME!"

Ala Batman/Joker. Even said with the same gruff voice.

[DASBUNKER]

They were obviously hyping Jon to be King.. but midway changed their minds and fkd the whole thing up setting someone else for queen/king.
