New thought: show bran wargs into Drogon causing him to crash mid flight, killing both him and the dragon. Now Jon has a chance to kill Dany. Yea, this is good.

PupsOfWar posted:There's a lot of characters gooms care about that may not be included in that. I don't think he considers Sandor a main character (which is why I'm cleganebowl-negative), I'm not sure he considers Stannis a main character, etc. "There were shadows all around. One shadow was dark as ash, with the terrible face of a hound. Another was armored like the sun, golden and beautiful. Over them both loomed a giant in armor made of stone, but when he opened his visor, there was nothing inside but darkness and thick black blood." Bran confirmed Cleganebowl, except it's Brienne (she has The Hound's helm) and Jaime protecting Arya and Sansa, and not Sandor i m h o

PupsOfWar posted:i flat out do not believe there were budgetary constraints that prevented ice spiders Jaime going back to Cersei in the end seems terrible for his arc, and doesn't make a lot of sense either given the whole Valonqar thing. That's the main show ending so far where I'm like in a hypothetical world where he writes these books is that really how he ends that storyline? Arya killing the Night King also seems like a show only invention, and it's unclear there even will be a Night King in the books. The rest of the endings that have happened this season seem likely enough for all the characters, though I doubt GRMM would do them in as idiotic a way.

It's been 1 month since the tower of joy: Howland Reed writes a letter to Robert "Hey you need to kill Jon Snow and also the Targ kids are still alive. Take care of this or else everyone dies. And make some dragonglass arrows. You only need to kill 1 guy."

Well in the show they kind of half-heartedly try to make it look like he's been convinced Cersei will win the war at the time so maybe that's the angle on it

So I guess the choking Cersei to death prophecy isn't in the show? That's loving lame,I was looking forward to Jaime killing her instead of this lame episode about nothing. His arc is the worst. Also lol, Bran warging into those ravens is going to have been pointless. Show bad.

The major characters are easy to figure out. We know that the first thing GRRM thought of was Bran and the direwolves. Then there's Jon and Arya and that thing we don't talk about. Tyrion being in love with Arya. Sansa being a traitor and Dany was added later but the dragons are important so it's...... Bran,Jon,Arya,Tyrion,(maybe) Sansa, Dany. Where those 6 end up is where they'll end up in the books. So if they're dead they're going to die and if they're running something like Sansa in Winterfell they are probably going to be doing that. Things I'd would've liked to have seen is what's up with the Isle of Faces and what's the Faceless Men whole deal. Unfortunately since those are both tied up in Arya's plotlines I'm kind of poo poo out of luck since GRRM is trying to slow roll the FM's whole deal for some reason. Pretty much every character associated with a magical plot has a prophecy to go with them except Arya and it's obvious there is one stop dragging it out GRRM . That's why a lot of people think her chapters a pain to read because you can see weird stuff that goes along with a mystery you aren't getting all the parts to solve so it's like why is this important. Oh no I'm not going to tell you what the 2nd FM's deal is or Arya really wants swim in this specific lake really bad for some reason you'll have to wait and then nothing because George didn't do a timeskip and can't do mini timeskips for some reason

MikeJF posted:The Other invasion certainly isn't going to end the same way, there isn't a present-day Night King at all in the books as far as it seems so far, the Others are an entire people. The books also mention things like how when Mance was breaking open tombs to find the Horn of Blasting the wildlings released things they shouldn't have, which always to me sounded like "we hosed up and broke seals the Children placed that locked away the Others." But the Others in the book also don't appear to have Mass Raise Dead and actually have to do more than be next to a corpse to make a wight. They'll probably have a leader of some kind, even if they aren't all Ice Vampires who die when their sire is killed.

quote:The dreams were even worse the second time. He saw the longships of the Ironborn adrift and burning on a boiling, bloodred sea. He saw his brother on the Iron Throne again, but Euron was no longer human. He seemed more squid than man, a monster fathered by a kraken of the deep, his face a mass of writhing tentacles. Beside him stood a shadow in woman’s form, long and tall and terrible, her hands alive with pale white fire. Dwarves capered for their amusement, male and female, locked in carnal, biting and tearing at each other as Euron and his mate laughed and laughed and laughed.

Randarkman posted:I think it burned off in the books? Also are Targaryens suppossed to be like 100% fireproof all the time (is Jon possibly less fireproof than Dany? Was Robert Baratheon fireproof? He has some Targ blood from a couple generations back), it kind of seems to me like it might be more of a magic thing that works in the proper context and poo poo. Dunno. She was naked bald etc in books. Targs aren't at all fireproof - that was added by the show for some reason. In the books I believe she survives and dragons hatch because of blood magic. She kills Carl Jr, and burns the witch alive. Man it's impossible to find old SOIAF poo poo - any image search is so overwhelmed by hbo stuff. edit here we go. Enjoy being on a watchlist because she's 14 or whatever in the book.   kcroy fucked around with this message at 02:49 on May 15, 2019 |

esperterra posted:I would imagine there being something like another pact having to be made, tbh. Which would give a reason for the Night's Watch to still exist after the wall falls, and give a reason for Jon's ending to potentially be 'rejoins the Night's Watch'. If that was a GURM given ending and not a D&D thing, then the Night's Watch still exists or gets reformed for some raisin There's one cool theory I saw where the Night King marriage story in the book was actually a corrupted tale of what all the marriages in the show are - a political union to seal a treaty. In this case, an uneasy agreement to end the war. The Last Hero managed to find the Children, they were able to mediate a peace, the Others and Humans drew a line across the continent, and then the Others used their ice magic to raise an impossible wall and mankind set a watch upon it. And then ten thousand years passed and humanity forgot about the pact and inadvertently violated it and now the Others are responding. Evil Fluffy posted:The books also mention things like how when Mance was breaking open tombs to find the Horn of Blasting the wildlings released things they shouldn't have, which always to me sounded like "we hosed up and broke seals the Children placed that locked away the Others."

Now that I think about it, it’s probably super likely that Melisandre sacrifices Shireen to bring back Jon snow from the dead, making his “second life” all the more morally grey, which is by DnD couldn’t do it. Also because they hate Stannis. The fuckers

So maybe they were just trying to bring peace to Westeros... because that is the only way the living will ever have peace and be free of what they fear most (death) and since they don’t want to or can’t embrace death... death is trying to embrace them.
