Rated PG-34 posted:if the spoilers are real, what happened to all that poo poo about breaking the wheel It's total nonsense and Tyrion all but said so in the latest episode. Dany has no idea what it would mean to effect lasting social change and furthermore she doesn't want to, it's incompatible with the goal she has actually been working towards (of claiming Aegon's throne, i.e. taking the place in the established power structure she thinks she deserves). It's just a slogan she uses to justify her brutal deeds, there's a reason why it was recently juxtaposed with her burning a man and his son alive for keeping faith with their rulers.

Will we ever find out what the lord of light wants or will it be a "works in mysterious ways" kinda deal. If the lord of lights whole goal is fighting off "eternal night" that's contrived as heck

It's not that it's bad, it's that it's monumentally off-voice for D&D.

So who kills the Night King in the S8 spoilers? It just says Viseron gets stabbed in the mouth by gendry and no mention of the NK. also I have trouble believing that they would have a character like Daenary's hung up naked and pelted with poo poo.

Nothing is too stupid for them.

Also, an ending in which Dany dies in loving CHILDBIRTH and her corpse is violated so that Jon can be the avenging dragon-rider is one that will generate so many hot take thinkpieces it'll critically overload the internet and revert us all to a new dark age.

These S8 spoilers are some of the dumbest poo poo I have ever read, I don't even know what to say. It's a real disgrace. There is no resolution coming, no closure. GRRM is gonna die and the whole saga will forever remain unfinished. HBO will sit on the rights for all eternity, making GBS threads out generic expanded universe crap every year till the heat death of the universe. Tits and dragons, tits and dragons, tits and dragons, TITS and DRAGONS I hope this embarrassing shitstain of a show finale at least motivates GRRM to get out one last book. I'm gonna go to bed and cry myself to sleep now, byea

One thing I found stupendously amazing about Westeros (especially the North of the Wall part) is how slow and fast at the same time water freezes. When our heroes ran onto the ice, that has been frozen presumably since the show started, it began to crack and lots of dead things fell in. After they made it to the island and a rock was thrown at the white walkers they ran out onto the ice, that happened to freeze thicker in 24 hours than it had since winter came, and didn't fall through in spite of the fact their entire dead army was standing on it.

Our heroes are also hilariously immune to frostbite despite constantly wandering around hatless in blizzards at night on the tundra with no shelter whatsoever. Makes you wonder why anyone worries about winter frankly.

The main problem with the leaks is that in order for an ending to be considered "bittersweet" at least one character the audience is invested on should survive so that the audience can go "oh s/he got what s/he always wanted, but at what cost?" None of the characters that survive in the lesks can, at this point, be counted as characters the audience is invested on. Not counting Bronn, ofc, and he gets the happiest ending apparently

I think that the spoilers are within the realm of possibility given what the show has done already - I think that they're dumb conclusions to the stories being told, but I'm past looking for closure on this series. Regardless of what actually is in the next season I'll have fun watching this trainwreck finish, it certainly looks like they're going to undercut every theme the books were setting up so that's going to be fun. Yaas queen slay for hereditary monarchy break the wheel!

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:I like that Sansa rules the Vale too for no reason. Hell, her and Gendry own almost half of Westeros going by book details, Sansa might legit be pretty high in the line of succession to the Vale she's sweetrobin's only surviving first cousin she's kin to a bunch of Vale houses due to some Stark/Royce marraiges a few generations past. This includes the Waynwoods, who are Harry the Heir's main backers and, are, irrc, the house through which Harry gets his thirdhand Arryn birthright. I'm sure everybody would prefer Harry the Heir (male, raised in the Vale, more recent female-line descent from Arryn) but after him I don't think there would be too many people in front of Sansa. I imagine Littlefinger's plan in the books is to have Sansa produce an heir via Harry, then kill Harry and have Sansa rule as regent through a combination of her own blood claim and that of her child. but Harry doesn't exist in the show, so they might just throw out "she's sweetrobin's cousin" and leave it at that, ignoring the male-line/female line distinction. Many viewers have probably forgotten that Lysa was Cat's sister and a Riverlander, anyway, and just think of her as "Lysa Arryn, the crazy breastfeeding lady who Littlefinger killed". It's more baffling that Sansa would marry Gendry (who, i believe, she has never spoken to) rather than some useful Northerner or a vale lordling who could cement her dubious claims.

kater posted:Drogon blowing himself up alongside anyone anybody likes by attacking kings landing and hitting the wildfire stockpile absolutely lines up with the nukes metaphor. I think the leaks are fake but yeah this would line up with GRRM's motivations for the dragon allegory part of the story. skasion posted:Our heroes are also hilariously immune to frostbite despite constantly wandering around hatless in blizzards at night on the tundra with no shelter whatsoever. Makes you wonder why anyone worries about winter frankly. This bothers me way more than teleporting ravens or whatever. Every one of those dudes would have hypothermia by the end of their one day adventure in north of the Wall. People are using this to prop up the "Bran will be the new NK thing" but several northerners dress like this (Ned, Arya, a bunch of Night's Watch people, etc) so I think it's just keeping in line with the northern designs. Or maybe the NK is an ancient Stark, although I think his origin predates the Stark line by at least a generation so who knows.

quote:We end with a scene in the far far North, in the Lands of Always Winter. A single White Walker rides to and brings the body of Bran Stark to an altar. Remember that the Night King stabbed Bran in episode 2. He was stabbed in the heart with Dragonglass. He performs a certain ritual and Bran opens his eyes. They’re bright blue. The White Walker puts a crown on Bran’s head and the altar slowly changes into one of ice. Winter is coming… Holy poo poo, if this really was how the series ended I would crack up. Entirely pointless.
