He's supposedly got two more books for Sam to find a chronicle about Bloodraven or some poo poo to lay the ground work. He also dropped foreshadowing that Arya was going to die with her sword frozen in her hand, and we all know he's backtracked from that too.

I hope GRRM is ridiculed constantly for the next couple years left of his life and the jokes will continue after his massive heart attack.

How do you even remember this stuff? It’s been that long since I read the books I can‘t even remember where we’re up to. Where did Arya finish, was she blind? The only one I can remember is Brienne has been hung by old stone face for over 10 years.

This is why you should watch Alt-Shift-X instead. By the time the show slid face-first across the finish line he was just tiredly thankful it was done and he didn't have to talk about GRRM stuff anymore.

I still stand by my assertion that Season 8 was not that bad. It was the worst season, but I still believe the biggest issue was the lack of episodes and time. The exact same ending could've landed a lot better with more exploration into the characters, Dany and Jon's romance, and what have you. But I'm also not into the whole "professionally outraged" schtick some folks have.

Season 8 was only bad if you compare it to other seasons of GoT. If we compare it to, say, the last season of Dexter it barely clears the bar and could be considered "decent."

And say what you will about how much of season 8 was following GRRM's outline, I don't expect* the Night King to get killed by a dagger after killing only 2 important people at Winterfell, so I can very easily see Arya dying. * insert usual joke about how I don't actually expect anything because the books will never be finished etc

TheIncredulousHulk posted:So your argument here is that it wasn't that bad because they could have made it good but didn't? That's not at all what I said. I literally said keep the same ending. Just have more exposition and scenes to position the folks together. That's different than saying "do the same thing but better". I'm not even sure how this is a confusing concept?

You can’t fix Season 8 without completely overhauling Season 7 as well.

No Arya doing the deed seems GRRM. One thing I’d expect from the never to exist book version is Zombie Cat Stark to die there saving Arya instead of Beric Dondarrion dying again.

The dude works for the State Department as an analyst and is like 6'4" and his wife just had a baby. Dude didn't even monetize his poo poo for most of the life of his channel, and when he started it seemed to be clearly a well-timed "let's cash in on the series ending and start a college fund for the kid" thing than like, him actually needing it. Goons not being able to parse social classes is the most hilarious poo poo. Weavered posted:No Arya doing the deed seems GRRM. One thing I’d expect from the never to exist book version is Zombie Cat Stark to die there saving Arya instead of Beric Dondarrion dying again. It's always seemed really clear to me that Arya's being set up to mercy kill Lady Stoneheart, and that's actually going to be what really makes her put aside the revenge track and go back to her family. There's a lot of poo poo in the Riverlands that's basically a set up for making Arya remember who/what she is and what's really important: the Freys, the Hound-as-Gravedigger, Nymeria, but most of all Lady Stoneheart. If she does team up with Beric, too, and revitalizes him in some way, that would also be where they probably cross paths. At this point I forget if Hot Pie is at the Inn of the XRoads in the book, but if that's not just a show thing, that too. HELLO LADIES fucked around with this message at 19:56 on Oct 25, 2019 |
