THE GREAT MANBABY SUCCESSOR

etalian posted:

His best season IMO was season 2.

I liked his slow face turn also, but because the writers suck (grrm, he sucks too) they realized that having him as a good guy would make it harder for them to gently caress people over. I haven't watched the show since s4 but from what I hear he keeps waffling between wanting to bone his sister and trying to be a good guy and can't be assed to commit to either one

Well at least S1/S2 you felt he actual meaningful character development going from a smug rear end in a top hat to basically getting his life wrecking and temporarily losing one of the main skills that made him smug.

Kinda hard to feel bad for him when literally the first thing we see him do is casually try to murder a kid.

What was the significance of Cersei not killing Jaime or Tyrion when presented w the opportunity?

She was never gonna kill Jamie. And people are theorizing Tyrion made a deal with her, possibly something to do with her baby.

i mean this show is garbage and the writers were too pussy to kill off like one of the most popular characters lol

This. He isn't in the elite swordfighters' club anymore. So now, he can't get away with being a brutal rear end in a top hat to everyone because other people can beat him up.

I feel like Cersei knew that Tyrion wasn't really responsible for ALL her problems, apart from him killing tywin, and she was just dumping blame on him because it made it easier. When she confronted him he talked his way out of it because that's what tyrion does. It's okay and made sense.

Jamie scene was dumb though.... i get that jamie actually cares about saving people. he killed the mad king to stop him murdering a city so it makes sense he'd want to fight zombies to save the world + his baby but him going on about having to stick to an oath was dumb from the kingslayer.

I think the priest used to do it as a trick with oil and fire but then after rezzing beric found he could do it for real because of magic. Not read the books for ages though.

I figured it was something like that. I don't remember the show explaining it either way, or it at best did so very poorly. Go figure.

They should make the show be exactly like the books and have every episode be 95% slow panning over everyone's clothes and what they're eating, while one of the five songs that exists in Westeros plays in the background and then periodically Tyrion be all "where do whores go?" while thumbing the stub of his nose.

Anyway if the spooky ice dragon can breathe spooky ice fire then surely that means that spooky ice fire is a Thing the Night King instils [cause dragons breathe regular, unspooky fire] so how come he didn't just have a regular ol' squad of skellybops breathe spooky ice fire.

you forgot the graphic sexual depictions and fetishes and a retarded women making GBS threads herself in field.

Show LF maybe. Book LF is like 5 steps ahead of everyone else all the time.

Even in the books LF's thing was being important to plots that mostly helped his co-conspirators more than himself out of a sense that he was moving up in the world.

Hey, what's happened to Bronn anyway? He was my gambit from the start and I'm pretty sure he's going to be the founder of the new kingdom when he outswords all the little bitches that are the supposed lead characters.

I'm 99% sure they're not going to kill him if they haven't already. He's too cool to die and one of the only characters that lasted after the first couple seasons that was done right.

He's doing well but Jaime ditched him to head up north, but I think they'll catch up

Drogon might remember Bronn hosed him up, and eat him.


The dumbest poo poo of the show, is that Bronn and Cersei actors literally have in their contract, that they can't be in a scene together

because they hate each other, because of real life relationship crap.

so unprofessional.

See? This is reason to bet on the man winning. He was with Lena when she was younger and presumably even hotter. Cersei may die, Bronn is going to win the whole thing.

The books have him say it ruins the sword but it would scare the poo poo out of people he fought. Then magic happen so it wasn't an issue anymore. It does make for a cool visual on the show.
