So it looks like there's reporting already starting to trickle out that D&D are not going to be as involved in their Star Wars trilogy as originally plan. A lot of it is saying they are hoping to write "at least one" along with a treatment for the trilogy

Just found this thread is still alive and well. The Watch has never ended for some crows. I'm glad Season 8 went the way it did. The show was dying ever since maybe season 5? What was the first major action of questionable reasoning, maybe Little Finger handing Sansa to Ramsay for...? Or the Sand Snakes usurping an entire kingdom with 0 ramifications. Ramsay murdering his father has got to be up there as well. Brain worms infected the writing a long time ago. Season 8 was when mainstream people finally acknowledged the poo poo they were watching was actually poo poo.

Dumb Lowtax posted:haha get owned sellout bitches They just signed a huge deal with Netflix. Star Wars money is nothing compared to Netflix money. We'll finally be able to see them use their skills on an original story/premise instead of adapting it to some one else's work. Fingers crossed it's a movie about what the world would be like if WW1 never ended! That would be super original!

I think the tipping point where I couldn't fool myself anymore was Arya turning into a smug rear end in a top hat the moment she decides to run from Braavos. That was such a whiplash character change, I at first thought it wasn't Arya anymore.

Also the bit in the red wedding where instead of Rains of Castamere being a signal for the attack, it was just a dude on the violin being creepy and nobody really reacts. Those were sort of the early cracks that show the writer's didn't have a decent grasp on the material any more, and were just aiming for cool and dramatic, gently caress coherency. Also Yara and her 20 good men running away from a shirtless Ramsay.

The Yara Canoe Attack that ends with everyone just jumping back into the canoes in orderly fashion is definitely the first "wtf was that poo poo" moment in GoT, and predictably, it doesn't happen in the books. All the way back in season 4, the last overall great season.

Binary Logic posted:Jorah was the best fighter in the entire series; of course it would take more than a few Dothraki horsemen to defeat him. I'm talking about when they went to fight the white walkers. He should be dead. It doesn't matter if you're loving Arthur Dayne we're talking about being outnumbered 1:100000

"This fantasy isn't realistic". He wouldn't be much of a hero if he could be defeated by a bunch of mindless undead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B_1IMstVzs Binary Logic fucked around with this message at 15:32 on Aug 17, 2019 |

Binary Logic posted:"This fantasy isn't realistic". Eternally a really bad take, because your story should always be internally consistent. You can have dragons but they should do the same things. If one episode dragons are super dangerous and the next they're not... its bad. Binary Logic posted:He wouldn't be much of a hero if he could be defeated by a bunch of mindless undead. This is super wrong as well. Heroes die in war all the time over stupid poo poo. Because life isn't romanticized. The real world doesn't care how popular you are, it will kill you with complete indifference. Ser Barristan got beaten by like 3 stupid rich kids. Jorah isn't half the fighter Barristan is. Acting like Jorah should be able to fight off 100,000 white walkers by himself is just silly and robs the whole battle of its weight and stakes.

it's also dumb because they had the dothraki charge solely for the cool shot of the fire scythes winking out. didn't make a lot of sense in the story.

Also, exactly half of them apparently just dropped their weapons and ran away, which kinda robs the moment of a lot of pathos in retrospect.

I remember that causing a minor joke that the Ironborn were the best at fighting at sea, but comically terrible at fighting in any other situation. I think that remains true the rest of the series.

he's going to last until the last fictional episode and with a much more believable reason for favoring jon vs. daenerys, and they make daenerys's insanity a slow burn. All the characters have better more believable reasons for doing things. And he bangs them out in half an hour so there's plenty of time to admire the costuming as people walk into or out of places to talk. I am going to be honest I saw these preston jacobs how I"d fix everything and rolled my eyes but after the post three up from here i gave in and they're very thoughtful.

The only big plot hole I see is Danerys southern forces apparently joining the defense of Kings Landing. You'd think she'd be able to get a raven over to them. It's not like OPSEC is a thing when there's nothing Cersei can do about it.

If the Night's King had learned the right lesson from Theon, then Arya wouldn't have been able to stab him in the dick to death.
