Maybe if they're clever they could do this and save on the CGI budget by just making it like that show Wilfred, and have Ghost just be played by a guy in a bad wolf costume who talks to Kristoffer Hivju, but everyone else reacts to it like it's a dire wolf doing dire wolf things and sounding like a dire wolf (except you always just see a guy in a wolf costume).

I would watch the gently caress out of this show

Also Dany presumably has a kingdom she's sort of in charge of back in Essos that she gave to a mercenary company and we never talk about that.

There's like 0 chance those guys didn't take everything that wasn't nailed down and skip town the minute she left.

Dany is the worst. That's kind of the point, but both the writing and Emilia Clarke are terrible (though after seeing her react to that interviewer's question I can forgive her for being a bad actress)

"Let's omit a bunch of these characters like Young Griff and Lady Stoneheart, kill a bunch of characters still alive in the books at the point they die in the show (lmao at the whole sand snakes poo poo) and change motivations for characters that we are keeping in the shows to make it better TV. Surely this won't have any impact on the show longterm!" - Two loving idiots in charge of the show.

Each loan has its own risks, they talked about that too. Cersei was paying Tywins loan and then they gave her one

It's 100% not a money problem. HBO gave them carte blanche to run for as many seasons as they wanted but the showrunners wanted to end it. iirc they wanted to rush everything into a 10ep s7 but hbo twisted their arm and got s8.

They are completely checked out and it shows in how little fucks they give. I mean they could have stepped down as showrunners and let someone who cares continue or HBO could have just replaced them but :shrug:

It's funny to me how the fans seemed to completely miss the shift in tone to unapologetic schlock last season. There's no way they didn't fully and consciously stop giving a gently caress.

LOL could you imagine 4 extra seasons of amazing dialog like Tyrion saying "lol Varys you have no dick" or Dany being pouty and insane because no one is a fan of her "I'll kill you if you don't lick my rear end" bullshit?

It sucks that Game of Thrones got 8 seasons (half of them apparently trash) while Rome, Deadwood, and Carnivale only got 2 or 3 seasons at most

I think I realized why the dragon dying scene was so off. You ever notice how every Netflix series has at least one conversation where people are having a conversation just to have one of the person's brains blown out mid-sentence from off-screen? That's what that scene was.

so powerful to see Jon basically ignore ghost for like years, and when given one last chance to just pat his head goodbye or even be seen in the same frame with him, does not

so powerful such a good depiction of a touching relationship

lol why did they even bother making big cgi direwolves in the first place if it is apparently such a problem that the presence of direwolves would become meaningless

Just use normal big dogs and actually have some character and meaning to the relationship

I get the books say they are huge but it’s not like deviating from the books has ever been a problem. why was deviating by making the dogs not huge unacceptable

wait there I go again thinking harder about the show than the people making it did

edit: lmao imagine being so bad at tv that you gently caress up a scene where a relationship with a good boy dog forever having to leave their master does not tug on the heartstrings of an audience but actually just annoys them. Dogs. Like the easiest way to make people feel things.

lol it’s even worse cause ghost got all hosed up in the fight, lost an ear, wounded, and we don’t even get one second of Jon or anyone being concerned for him let alone actually interacting with or caring for him

ghost should have just went back to his home planet years ago
