I mean, aren't there like a fuckton of dead people buried all over the place thanks to the War of the Five Kings, the Battle of the Bastards, etc.,etc. There is no loving way the NK can lose KILL 'EM ALL

Alec Eiffel posted:The Night King is not as good of a villain as Joffrey but drat, the end of Hardhome was badass when he outright undoes everything Jon et al just accomplished (killing some wights) and then some (raised mother loving Wun-Wun and that one Wildling woman up). Then he just stands on the shore and glowers. Good stuff. That was a different giant, although the zombie giant also has an arrow sticking out of his eye. Wun-Wun died at Winterfell so in order for him to rise as a zombie the white walkers would have to have a battle th—oh.

Hobo Clown posted:If one dude on one dragon ends up being OP enough to take out the entire south on its own then it will be incredibly silly if/when the plucky folks at Winterfell are still able to manage some kind of victory by the end. It won't be just the dragon it'll be more dead dudes/WW. Who knows how NK knows things. He's a magic dude. He's gotta know something. He might not even know at all, but maybe going for the people who have the magic bullets first isn't the greatest idea. Kawalimus fucked around with this message at 19:08 on Apr 22, 2019 |

It does seem significant that they didn't show the NK at the end of the last episode. He def not at Winterfell.

Kawalimus posted:Which won't make a difference when the dead golden company comes a marching up north. Beating the skeleton crew is a hollow victory if KL is sacked. It won't take much to win there as Cersei is ill-prepared. How is the golden company dying if the NK goes down solo? I'm fairly certain resurrecting people burnt alive in dragonfire isn't a thing.

Zaphod42 posted:They're not unlike Zach Snyder. Give them some good source material and they can film interesting cinematography over it, but ask them to write a story and oh noooooo. Edgar Allen Ho posted:Also, I heard on a podcast that they buzzed Gendry because people were confusing him with Pod. Makes you wonder... maybe Arya picked the wrong lay? Gendry's also the #1 character that fan fiction writers ship with Arya (according to archiveofourown.org, which has excellent search capabilities, really well-done) so this all came off like cheap pandering and like a real disappointment for a show based on subverting expectations. Anyway. Someone who worked on their college's literary magazine once said that if they debated long enough whether a piece should go into the magazine it automatically went in; it might not have been good, but it wasn't boring. So at least the show isn't boring!

The North is loving huge. If the Night King's army doesn't have access to the plot teleporter it would take them like a month. The massed Targaryan forces getting bored staring at the unmoving dead for a few days is a funny thought. Chef Boyardeez Nuts fucked around with this message at 19:19 on Apr 22, 2019 |

Hay guise why is someone trying to wipe out humanity stopping to attack a major outpost of humanity that is also housing one of the few characters with any super natural ability?????? What possible value could there be in trying to remove a guy with limited omniscience and time travel from the board? I love that even when the show stop and holds the audience's hand to explain things like "why are undead attacking Winterfel?" it still flies over the audience's head.

That sex scene made me reflect on how bad everyone must smell all the time. It’s been true for the whole show, but seeing Gendry all filthy made me reflect on it, like that photoshop where the my little pony is in the Holocaust.

I think Winterfell might think something is up with the skeleton crew staring at them for that long. I'm basically factoring in the teleporter in predicting that. Also even if it's just the NK, he can raise an army of the dead pretty quick cause as people have said there's TONS of dead dudes out there to raise from the wars. I just think doing KL first somehow sets them up to do a lot of things, like the fanservicey cleganebowl, lets the Bronn stuff play out easier. And lets the baddies join up with the undead baddies for a big goodies vs baddies showdown at WF. Rather than baddies vs baddies after winterfell falls. Travel in this show simply makes no sense and there's no point in trying to wonder how long it would really take for stuff at this point.

Yeah Arya has been given free reign to do whatever she wants, up to and including "become loving Batman", she's never had a lack of agency.

Even if he can only raise the newly dead, the Night King on a dragon could easily knock off a few small Crownlands villages and snowball from there. Huge chunks of King's Landing are outside the walls, and presumably out of big arrow range.

I'm confused why everyone thinks that anyone that has ever died can be magically raised by the NK on the spot. The bodies in the crypt are long passed decayed or just in pieces. I remember hands popping out of the ground at the tree with Jojen and whatnot but I thought that was a different situation. Seeing skeletons (remember Robert's rebellion was like what, 20 years ago?) pop out of the ground to fight would be some Army of Darkness level cheesy poo poo.

No Wave posted:Dude. What? Arya does not suffer from lack of agency. She's always had waaaay too much agency, she does whatever she wants and gets away with it every time in a way that nobody else in the universe does. What do you think that word means? Yeah ok I guess I mean specifically sexual agency. She hosed who she wanted when she wanted which is like, probably the first time a woman on GOT got to pick those two things? I stand by my statement that her wanted to get laid before she (probably) dies is the most normal thing she’s done in years

I'm liking the King's Landing swerve the more that I think about it even if the logistics would probably be dumb. It would be pretty funny if the Night King played Bran and he was too up his own rear end to see it coming.

I thought it was tied into the advance of winter and of the others themselves. That’s why Mance’s wildlings have been burning the dead since who knows when- their dead rose. And why the Watch has burning as their traditional funeral rite but only during the story figures out why it is that way. And thusly, why loads of southerners die and don’t come back.

Night King would also be way OP if that were the case. He and one dragon can take out an entire city, and then that city joins him, and then he does this dozens of times all across Westeros, and also anyone that has ever died anywhere in Westeros also joins his army, and that army can travel thousands of miles in a day completely undetected. It props him up to such a degree that whatever method the good guys use to stop him will have to be out of left field and unlike anything that's been shown to be within their power before.
