Okay I've now read the entire leaks attentively and I'm a true believer.

Also they're pretty good and make more sense than what folks itt led me to believe, they're much better than seasons 5,6,7.

lol i was thinking it might be an interesting coda where they have to integrate and (at least the dothraki who aren't doomed to die out this generation) meld with westerosi culture.

tadashi posted:

In spite of the thread title, I was trying to avoid reading the leaks because I just find the whole thing annoying. This makes sense, though. This is like reading that Jon is all-but-confirmed to be Rhaegar's kid. If Dany doesn't die, she would have to rule Westeros as a Westerosi for it to work. The continent is too big and too divided politically.

Like Pac-Manioc mentioned, I can also buy the idea that one of the invading forces stays and integrates culturally, just like the First Men and the Andals did. I guess the Unsullied can't leave much of a genetic legacy but their style of fighting could affect things.

Killing them all off because writing a more creative story of cultural integration is just weak. Historically, many nomadic people went sedentary when they found land that wasn't garbage agriculturally. There are lots of examples: the Yuan of China, Hungary and Bulgaria etc. Gurm likes to write with plot points and themes with historical precedent: rarely were nomadic people's annihilated rather than settled/assimilated.

Further, how would fan beloved Danny look if she uprooted an entire people to be used as zombie dragon kindling, leading them to their annihilation as kewl cgi effects in a land far away?

Night King invades Winterfell. Bran, Pod, Tormund, Meera and Rhaegal die here. Heroes retreat South. Meanwhile Cersei and Euron get the Golden Company into Storm's End.

Theon takes back Pyke. Euron goes back to Pyke and kills Theon. Night King fucks around Pyke for a bit.

Night King invades the Vale. Jon, Jaime, Gendry and Bronn kill him. Brienne dies. Meanwhile Daenerys dies giving birth to Jon's child. Sam hides baby. Golden Company takes Daenerys' body.

Arya kills Cersei. Hound and Nymeria kill the Mountain. Euron is crowned king. He hangs Dany's rotting body to a gate and peasants fling poo at her.

Jon, Jaime and others charge into King's Landing. Euron shoots down Drogon, who lands in the Dragonpit. Jon and Jaime fight and kill Euron. Drogon accidentally sets a cache of wildfire ablaze. Dragonpit explodes and everyone dies.

-Timeskip to 3 years later-

Arya fucks off to Essos.

Sansa marries Gendry and they rule the North, the Vale and Storm's End.

Edmure rules Riverrun. Probably episode will have a previously on to remind people who the gently caress Edmure was.

Bronn marries Tyene and they rule Dorne.

Sam gets the Reach.

Yara rules the Iron Islands.

Dany and Jon's daughter gets crowned ruler of the 7 kingdoms. Tyrion rules in her place till she comes of age. Tyrion fucks Missandei. He drops the show's title.

A White Walker is taking Bran's corpse to an altar where he is reborn as the Night King. Winter is coming.

Basically all the leaks that have been real have been from people who have been present at the filming, hence why they never include details that would be done in CGI/greenscreen. This season we didnt even get that, did we? It was all from spanish translators?

SUCK A DICK, DUMBSHITS!

Well those supposed leaks are kind of poo poo but entirely believable. We know the actress who plays Dany is over this poo poo and wants nothing to do with spinoffs. Arya got her spinoff set up real nice on the other hand. Killing off a bunch of principle characters in a random explosion is super dumb but I can see them doing it.

Who knows, I guess we'll see in a year or whatever.

We had CGI knowledge in this season's leak.

For instance, Jaime charging towards Daenerys and Drogon. They were wrong in that they said Jaime was charging towards Drogon instead of Daenerys, but the gist of it was right.

It was a while ago but the Nights Watch takes a vow of celibacy because sex is political when all of politics hinges on bloodlines and family. If you have an exiled noble having babies while on the watch, they still exert political influence. If that same noble knocks up a mole town prostitute there's plausible deniability.

They can't possibly come from extras or translators and have to have been based off of the plot outlines, just like current batch of alleged spoilers.

WampaLord posted:

Sure but there was also stuff that wasn't true in the authentic plot outlines we got for episodes 4 & 5, some details get changed and also those are all non-critical details while all of the big plot points, including CGI poo poo, is mentioned.

-Arya going back to Essos because I can't really see her integrating into noble society again
-Gendry getting Storm's End
