I don't even have a problem with euron, I have a problem with how long Dany sat on dragonstone to give olenna time to get to highgarden while Jamie also moved an army there

Clearly those goofy angled yardarms of Euron's dumb oarless galleass are the antennas for the Chronosphere in the hold. It all makes perfect sense if you think about it.

even by that hilarious reasoning it wouldn't make any sense for euron's fleet to be able to get to casterly rock at the same time as the unsullied.

apparently HBO's Game of Thrones takes place in a place called Westeros that is precisely nothing like the Westeros described or shown in HBO's Game of Thrones

In addition to what everyone else is saying we have a control group of the other fleet that traveled the same distance without making several gratuitous stops to get to the same destination It is over the top how much you're going to bat for this show lol

GoGoGadgetChris posted:Casterly Rock isn't in this video. Nice work! I gotta admit you're doing a wonderful troll job now explain how olenna got to highgarden from dragonstone before Jamie, and especially now no one noticed him leaving King's landing and getting word to either highgarden or dragonstone. I'm fine with Jamie meeting his army outside highgarden. oh and explain how the gently caress Dany has supplies to keep her giant army fed on a desolate rock while all this troop movement happens. remember that stannis was explicitly killed due to his troops having no food and the cold, so it is relevant in the show that armies be fed feel free to have Robb or Sansa's teleporting armies prove me wrong though next episode preview shows Dany knowing about the unsullied being stranded so clearly this is all happening fast enough for her to get on a dragon and go smash the Lannister army returning to King's landing. if she didn't know about the unsullied there wouldn't be a problem - they could've just gotten there a month after the highgarden events and no one would be the wiser mastershakeman fucked around with this message at 23:16 on Jul 31, 2017 |

I'm pretty sure the only thing we actually know is that Cersei thought it would take two weeks to march on and capture Highgarden.

GoGoGadgetChris posted:I absolutely dare either of you to demonstrate that you know exactly when Olenna and Euron departed compared to when Jamie and the Unsullied departed. I mean the Unsullied almost certainly left at the same time that the Greyjoys did since they had significantly(* OR IS IT??) farther to go and no reason to stick around. I presume Euron departed at least a day after that since he attacked his niece's fleet at night and was at King's Landing during the day soaking up the admiration and standing around being congratulated in the throne room. But even if the answer is "you're right, I don't know, there could be several explanations for this" my complaint is that this isn't well established which is why there is confusion and frustration from people

due to wind and differences in boats there's no real issue with euron catching up. the problem is the unsullied get around westeros and troops march 600 miles in the span of days, not months. I'm also fairly sure seasons 1-3 constantly mention how long troop movements take but I'm sure as gently caress not going to go hunt them down mastershakeman fucked around with this message at 23:24 on Jul 31, 2017 |

We already know an assload of time has passed since the last episode because there was enough time for Jon to get a raven from Dragonstone and travel all the way there from Winterfell.

"How many episodes does a cross-continental trip take" is a thing that changed from Season 1 to Season 7 but it doesn't mean that people in Season 7 are moving too quickly.

Like ignore the intro map, the dragonstone map, and cersei map we have characters talking plainly about distances and time travelled and then those things being thrown out the window with lightning fast pacing that confuses the gently caress out of everybody that isn't a slackjawed buffoon

Which is also fair but again, I think expecting things to be paced like the older seasons that people like is a valid criticism. As long as your not insanely triggered by people critiquing your favorite TV show, nobody should have a problem with this.

Characters don't talk plainly about distances and time traveled. It is generally the people who ARE confused who are the slackjawed buffoons.
