she was trained to fight completely unlike a knight. who cares and why should the waif win? ive seena complaint about the arya/waif fight spring up itt several times. that wasnt a fight we saw. it was a chase and arya wasnt some anime acrobatic savant. when hiding failed she was making desperation moves like anything was less certainly death than the waif and they werent lucky when she was cornered right before the fight actually started she cut the candle. that wasnt symbolic. whereas the waif was more faithful to the many-faced god (or just to cruelty) arya was blinded instead and had to learn to fight sightless arya beating the waif was actually really tight

gary oldmans diary posted:she hannibal lectered the waifs face. with westeros healthcare being what it is i think its safe to assume there was a fatal infection from that This is after arya survived being stabbed in the guts and then swimming in a city canal. There are no bacteria in westeros. But the waif killed Arya and took her face. This is why arya's writing becomes flat and lovely and she's suddenly an anime warrior like the waif after that

that scene was just the writers trying to be way over dramatic while still intending to actually do the plot-significant thing later regardless of what they already wrote scene a and scene b are almost entirely incompatible and you have to mostly ignore one but scene a is a dead end for the plot dont mistake liking where arya beats the waif for liking the showrunner writing

Looking at the general internet opinions about the ending, my hot take is that I liked it. I mean, they've got the best guy to rebuild the brothels on King's Landing and a good smuggler as navy commander. No but seriously, I never liked Miss thousand of useless tittles (and mother of dragons!) and we got to see zombie Hafthor sticking out a dagger from his head like Deadpool.

if they had just made daenerys descent into madness either the least bit believable or at least not so sudden or maybe just seem like madness and not evil for evil sake then i would be able to say they managed to stumble their way all the way through the finale. regardless of the state of every side plot they wouldve at least gotten the main plot through on its feet. but without that its like they didnt quite make it to the finish lineGlenn Quebec posted:gary whats up with these super bad opinions my dude

Dany going full insane in the course of 20 minutes was very dumb and not fun. If they even planned this poo poo out a little bit she could have looked more unhinged and tbh, the actress was portraying her well.

It's an ahistoric 19th century construction that incorporates aesthetic elements of earlier castle architecture, but without any concern for utility.

If by "real castle" you mean fortified military compound then yes but "huge gently caress off mansion with some decorative ramparts" describes what is known as a neo-gothic castle.  You can call it a chateau if you want but that's just French for castle.

I mean when I think of a castle, with no modifiers or adjectives, I think of a stone keep, crenelated etc.. Sure if it's a neo-gothic blah blah then it's whatever. But yes the term castle get's thrown around indiscriminately.

But yes the term castle get's thrown around indiscriminately. Well a lot of them have features like stone keeps and crenelation on the walls, it's just that they're aesthetic and kind of worthless as far as actual defensive fortifications go. Like idk there's a lot of things called "castles" which are actually just fancy mansions with a certain aesthetic. Neuschwanstein Castle looks pretty impressive and like a legit castle at first glance but the crenelations are useless, the outer walls aren't 5-10 feet thick like you'd want, it has bigass windows all over it, etc. It's not a real fortress you could defend. It is absolutely just a gently caress off big mansion with crenelations on the walls but regardless it is called a castle. If you want to be precise about it and say "only military forts from the medieval period that were functional can be called castles" that's fine but it's not really the colloquial usage is all I'm saying.

Snowy posted:Are people living in any of the legit old castle forts? Some of them were converted (like the one pictured in my other post iirc) into less defensible but nicer to live in mansion things - cutting windows into the walls etc. People live in those still. There's abandoned ruins all over Europe though.

There are tons of small keeps and castles around europe in various states of direpair. It turns out that maintaining fortified positions is super expensive so good luck on your movie career as you compete with Nicholas Cage
