I think Aeron and Balon are the older, and Euron younger. But also Balon is especially gaunt looking as mentioned, and Euron is especially handsome, almost devilishly so. Again the guy is into some weird dark magic so who knows if illusions of youth or immortality or whatever could be involved in that. They're definitely closer together in age than the actors of the show are, but Euron being described as looking so handsome and his brothers looking awful I'm not too bothered by the casting for age, I'm more bothered by... the show characters being a pale shadow of the book's. (Also no Victarion at all lmao, Show Euron is like a sexy Victarion more than Euron) (Also its highly possible that Euron is Daario)

Everyone is Daario. But I don't think Daario is Euron because Euron is using a glass candle to project himself into Dany’s dreams and have sex with her and she doesn't think "oh hey looks like Daario" and also Daario obviously doesn't need to do that he's having regular sex with Dany.

Well I'm glad Euron is supposed to be the younger brother, but I still absolutely can't buy those two guys as brothers.

There were literal flowing waves of CGI zombies shown to be approaching, waves as tall as castle fortifications, advancing forward as fast an actual tsunami. Clearly enough to just cover up the opposing army... what happened to that, lol.... we went from that, to Arya playing hide and seek with one while Sam rolls around in them like it was a box of kittens

Oh yeah, I'm glad he didn't come back but reading the theories about him was hilarious. I think there was one for a while where he was a faceless man and turned into the man he was fighting or something equally daft.

IIRC they spent a huge amount of time doing fakeouts for the final seasons, inviting old actors like the Waif back on set to throw people off But then people found the script out anyway lol

They'd be swarmed by like five or six zombies, which means they have hundreds of pounds of dead bodies on top of them stabbing and clawing at them, and someone would come over, whack one (1) time with their sword, and then reach down a hand and help them up like they'd just had a little stumble.

This was one of the more popular ones, which did raise a lot of questions when it first came out. Dany gets pregnant with Jon's child The Night King destroys Winterfell, kills Rhaegal and Bran and Meera and Gray Worm and Pod and a bunch of other people, survivors retreat south of the Neck Daenerys dies in childbirth giving birth to daughter, her corpse is taken back to King's Landing by mercenaries who also kill Varys while Sam smuggles out the baby Jaqen H'ghar shows up, gives Arya a vial of poison and tells her to murder Cersei Arya, the Hound, and Nymeria travel south to King's Landing. Arya takes Qyburn's face, poisons Cersei, the Hound + Nymeria finish off the Mountain, Arya slits Cersei's throat, Euron becomes King of the Seven Kingdoms (final boss) Dany's corpse gets brought back to King's Landing, mutilated, displayed, and pelted with feces Jaime makes love to Brienne, then Brienne dies and commands Jaime to protect Arya and Sansa with her dying breath The Night King is finally killed at the Eyrie (I think) Jaime, Tyrion, Devos, Edmure, Gendry, et al. proclaim Jon the rightful king, he rides Drogon and leads the army south to overthrow Euron, who is the big bad Jon fights Euron, then Jaime stabs Euron in the back (kingslayer), then Drogon breathes fire and accidentally ignites a pocket of wildfire underground and everybody gets blown the gently caress up and killed Sansa marries Gendry and becomes Lady of the North and the Vale, Edmure is Lord of the Riverlands, Gendry is Lord of the Stormlands, Yara gets Pike, Sam becomes Lord of the Reach Arya goes back to Essos because 'valar morghulis' while Tyrion becomes Hand of the Queen to Jon + Dany's baby, Lyanna Targaryen, plus he screws Missandei on the side Bran becomes the new Night King bobjr fucked around with this message at 21:28 on Apr 18, 2021 |

Lol those fake leaks are nuts. I wouldn't say that those plot points would've been better than S8 but them going kill em all with the ending would've been way more entertaining.

Are we still doing spoiler tags? For fake spoilers, even? I think Bran becoming Night King is more interesting than what actually happened, even if it doesn't really make sense.

Dany as a Night Queen would have been even cooler. And would bring her back to one of her children if she gets the ability to raise Visceris again.

Seeing the warp speed five stages of grief on r/Freefolk live was amazing. They even made up their own set of contradictory “good leaks” as a part of the bargaining stage where it turned out that Dany was in fact NOT going crazy and it was all an act and she somehow off screen between Episodes 4 and 5 found a suit of dragon armour for Drogon to render the scorpions useless AND found the Targaryen ancestral Valyrian steel sword Darksister and used them both to heroically defeat Cersei, and she and Jon ruled Westeros together and she had a second Iron Throne made from all of the fallen Lannisters’ swords so they could be King and Queen together. It was adorable.

TBF I thought this way back when I was spoiled on Tyrion killing his father. Something about "oh he escapes in a secret passage, and just by chance it leads to his father's room and J-dog's crossbow is on the table and..." is so convenient I'm surpised it worked at all!

As I mentioned earlier I been watching poo poo on YouTube thanks to this thread and I came across a few GRRM videos and one he talks about how without fantasy elements your "fantasy" is just historical fiction about things that never happened which is so funny to me because that's what I enjoyed/wanted.

Heroine succumbing to hereditary mental illness, massacring a million people, and getting put down like a mad dog is a completely reprehensible storyline for me. Dany’s story to me was coming within moments of her goal only to realize at the very end how toxic and destructive it was and stepping away at the last moment.

When the Martha dropped proving the subtitle leaks were true some people even went as far as thinking Dany would pull a Code Geass ending on the next episode. It was a hilariously desperate bargaining attempt that failed to understand that the reason why it worked for Lelouch was because he didn't kill any innocent people.

GRRM implied Varys might have specifically engineered that scenario for Tyrion to kill Tywin. I mean, it makes sense, things fell apart pretty quickly and then Aegon shows up.

The scenario plays a lot differently in the books. In the show Tyrion parts in good terms with Jaime, but instead of escaping he suddenly decides to drop by the Tower of the Hand for whatever reason, ends up finding Shae, who tries to kill him and he ends up killing her in self defense, and only after that point he decides to comfront and kill Tywin. In the books, Tyrion is pushed over the edge after he finds out the truth about Tysha and actively asks Varys "yo, which passage will lead me to kill my father", he incidentally ends up finding Shae on his way and kills her out of pure anger, and then comfronts his father to kill him.
