No matter how hard you look at Solo: A Stillborn Story theres nothing there to suggest there was a "good" movie hiding under all that trash.

Katt posted:Were we not supposed to root for Stannis? I thought the problem with Stannis is he's totally uncompromising. A political entity like the seven kingdoms runs on a certain amount of understanding, and mercy. But if, for example, Edmure I dunno raped someone, and the penalty for rape is death, then Stannis would have Edmure executed. Even though he's a high lord. Even though he would probably stay in Rivverun, and so it would lead to a civil war. So none of the high lords, or even lords in general, would probably really want Stannis to be king, because he'd instantly erode a lot of their privileges.

i got the impression that in solo's case, the "pickup shoots" were pretty much them re-doing the entire film there were maybe like 2 scenes in it that felt lord+miller at all anyway if we're gonna argue about whether disneywars is good (the answer is the main films are good and the side films are bad) we should do it in star wars thread if i have learned anything in the past 2 years, it's that nothing fucks things up faster than a star wars derail suffice to say that kennedy has fired a majority of the directors she's hired and i can't imagine that d&d, being obvious dipshits, will be spared PupsOfWar fucked around with this message at 22:50 on May 11, 2019 |

Show Stannis was an utter waste of time and should've died at Blackwater. Have Davos take the black if you want to keep his actor around (which would have the side benefit of him actually developing a relationship with Jon Snow). Mel can wander to whatever storyline needs some mysticism or gratuitous nudity at the moment. Cut Stannis, Dorne, and other crap like Ramsay-Sansa and THE FOOKING LEGEND OF GIN ALLEY. Voila, now you have more than enough time to tell the ice zombie and iron throne stories competently.

The thing is, Jon vs Dany is clearly what the story has been building to this whole time. When Dany has vision in the House of the Undying, she clearly see Rhaegar talking about one of his sons and he says "his is the song of Ice and Fire." In this case, song meaning story. All of the books are simply about how a young bastard boy finds out he's royalty and consolidates his power and rules over Westeros as his families did before him. The North will bend because he's a Stark, and everywhere else will bend because he's a Targ. This entire time, the side plot of Dany was simply a red herring. And that owns bones and balls on so many levels.

chaosapiant posted:I’m pretty sure the books will end with Jon killing Dany Yeah agreed. I think he'll stab her with dragonglass and Drogon takes her body north of the wall and she becomes the new night's queen. The leaks allude to this, and that's actually a good ending if it's written well. It's a shame it won't be.

Ok so I'm going to just post this whole thing because loving lol quote:What did Euron think when Tyrion revealed that he knew about Cersei’s baby? So Euron forgot, it's not important to see siblings react to learning their brother isn't their brother and Sansa did no take backsies (in a Godswood you know the place when you're not supposed to lie lol)

nine-gear crow posted:“X kind of forgot about Y” is quickly becoming a meme being hung around the show’s neck and it’s great They spent two years making a six episode season where they don't remember anything from the previous seasons. Every bit of fan scorn is deserved, and I say that as someone who WANTED the show to piss off everyone. But I didn't specify to the cursed monkey paw "with dramatic twists that kill popular main characters". So here we are, with deadeye ballista pirates, people forgetting their own back stories, and plot holes as wide as goatse.

Do we know for certain that he isn't Ned's son, he sure seems to put an irresponsible amount of trust in one loudmouth braggart that can't stop making everyone uncomfortable with his hosed up sex stories and who's sole redeeming quality is "big and swings a hammer".

Never going to stop laughing at "what kind of a mad man rides a dragon?" 3 episodes after Tormund rode a dragon. David Benioaf: "So Tormund just kinda forgot he's ridden a dragon."

Mike N Eich posted:I also think 'Dany goes mad, Jon kills her' ending owns on so many levels. One : it's gonna piss off people who love Daenerys a lot. Two: It could have been set up significantly better, but because of awful writing and a lack of range on Clarke's part, its gonna come across as totally unearned and stupid, a shock ending. Three: I don't really have a three, I love one and two so much. I gotta say, I've always been down on Emilia Clarke's acting, outside of certain scenes like the revolt in Astapor, but she has been doing really well with what she's been given this season. Enough for me to think that, much like most of the other main characters, the writing is what holds them back.

Clarke definitely rises above the writing. Jon and Dany are written and directed to be boring and stoic because D&D suck, but the few moments where they're allowed to act, like Jon and Edd loving around, or Dany dropping her guard around Missandei, gives you a tiny window into the truth that it's not the actors, it's the writers. See also: Jonathan Price and Diana Rigg taking show-only dialog and spinning gold from poo poo, or Lena Headey genuinely selling some dog poo poo writing.

Either way he reunites with Ghost and goes up past the wall, finding a group of dead wildlings arranged in the white walker pattern. Cut to black. supposedly last shot of the series.
