Also seems to me like the night king was really stupid. If he had decided not to do stuff on the frontlines defeat would have been almost literally impossible and his forces would have taken effectively zero casualties as they show that he can just raise everyone again if he wants to. I guess killing Bran might have been important for some reason, but gently caress, one of his Walker friends could have done that, the zombies could have done that.

Fashionable Jorts posted:Shooting their bows like that is how the Mongolians conquered half the world. I don't think the Mongolians knelt untop of their saddles like they were doing some sort of trick on a surfboard. A trick which completely negating the advantages of not only their stirrups (which were specifically invented by steppe peoples to aid in horse archery) but their saddles as well, rendering them extremely vulnerable to being thrown off their horses. So you are wrong. And I have a hard time imagining how it seemed I was not commenting on the avove and instead was baffled that horse archery (which was not invented by the Mongols) exists.

Alot of people who make movies dont understand or never bothered to try to understand that bows work different from guns and are much more difficult to use. It's pretty much been accepted as correct over the years due to how many times it's been said, but you also don't 'fire' a bow.

poverty goat posted:here's a man reloading a medieval crossbow There were alot of different types of crossbows around. Many weren't even close to being so complicated and reloading them was just a matter of manually pulling back the bowstring to the hook (which would take just as long/short a time as with a normal bow really). They wouldn't necessarily be much more powerful than a bow either, though you can make very strong crossbows by using stirrups and winches and such to enable use of a bow you couldn't really draw manually. Though ultimately that isn't really the point of a crossbow or their greatest strength (and those really powerful ones didn't really begin to show up until the 1300s-1400s in any case), which is simply that compared to a bow they are exceedingly easy to use and that a man doesn't have to spend years training with one to acquire the proper strength and physique to be able to effectively use one powerful enough for war. You could probably teach a man to be an effective enough soldier with a crossbow in a matter of days, which is probably why it was such a popular weapon with mercenaries.

ROFLburger posted:there's plenty of legit gripes to have about this show but accurate depiction of crossbow operation is definitely not one of them Accurate depiction of crossbows aside, using wwhat's essentially a single shot weapon that requires a considerable and awkward reload time to give a warning shot is exceedingly stupid. It would make sense with a gun which can be fired again simply by pulling a trigger, but these guys don't really have guns do they and writing it into your medieval show without giving thought to how it makes no sense is really stupid and terrible writing.

DeadFatDuckFat posted:So how old is Khaleesi now Older than in the books probably. That's a largely good change they did from the books for the series from day one, and that is make most of the characters a little bit older than in the books. It was probably mostly done for convenience, but I'm grateful for it in any case. In the books Danaerys is 13 or something when she's married off and the early scenes with her are just astoundingly creepy to read. I kind of hate the fact that the books kind of give you the impression that this was perfectly normal in past societies, when it actually wasn't, even in the Middle Ages girls weren't frequently married off immediately upon turning 13 or 14 or having their first period (though it should be noted that happened in other times and societies in history, notably in ancient Rome, where women were quickly married out of the family upon reaching maturity). In fact it seems more like the norm was, even for noble families, to marry in your early twenties and typically to someone pretty close to you in age (disparities and exceptions of course happened). I think there's even a theory that due to widespread malnutrition in medieval society, even amongst the aristocracy, people typically even entered puberty later in life than is the case in the modern era.

I mean Cercei is going to try to blow up the city, right? They've already mentioned several times in past seasons that there's wildfire buried all over the place, Tyrion and Cercei know this from having worked with the pyromancers and Jaime knows it because that's why he killed the Mad King in the first place, and there's a scene where he tells Brienne about it. Though I guess having poo poo pay off in some way isn't how DnD like to roll.

A GLISTENING HODOR posted:Just a reminder that D&D have known the ending since pre-production on season 1, Mad Queen Dany is in the books being crazy from the start, and the vision she had in the House of the Undying on the show was a King's Landing destroyed by fire with snow on the throne and her joining her one true love, Khal Drogo, in the night lands. Also remembered a thing they had in the first season, they had the scene where Illyrio (the guy who gives Dany her dragon eggs and sells her to Drogo) and Varys are scheming below the castle and Arya overhears them. In the end end that kind of just became a pointless scene, because they pretty much entirely cut out Illyrio's (and I assume Varys's because they seem to be partners) entire scheme from the show with young Griff/Aegon and that stuff, and I assume they've also pretty much cut out Illyrio all together. They kept the Golden Company around but gave to Cercei because they thought the name sounded cool.

Wasabi the J posted:I don't want to get in trouble but there's still a possibility that the golden company could still have a Targaryen payoff. I mean, sure they could. They could just turn on Cercei, that's about what passes for clever with this show anyway. The Varys and Illyrio plotting thing is probably not the only case of scenes that seem to be setup for future payoff not really having any payoff. When they were adapting the books they probably kept some of that stuff just because they kind of liked the scenes and then when they later cut most of the stuff those scenes were the setup for (and when they started doing their own poo poo based off the napkin notes gurm gave them) they'd probably forgotten all about having included those initial setup scenes in the first place anyway.

Snow Cone Capone posted:When Varys and Tyrion are talking, and Tyrion mentions that Jon & Dany marrying and ruling together would work, Varys is like "do you really think the north would allow an incestuous relationship to rule?" I mean the Starks pretty much allowed the Boltons, who are creepy skin bandits and (possibly vampires) to rule a large part of their territory for hundreds or thousands of years. I don't think they really give much of a gently caress about anything anyone else does as long as they don't do anything directly against the Starks themselves, which the Targaryens with the whole "kidnapping" Lyanna and mad king murdering the Stark lord and his heir when they came down to ask what the gently caress was up with that whole "kidnapping" business. Oh, they also don't like it when Ser Friendzone sells criminals as slaves so he can continue bribing his out-of-his-league wife to not leave him (I think that's his backstory for being exiled in the show as well right?).

A GLISTENING HODOR posted:Daario was a Second Sons mercenary. That's in the show right? I think in the books they are more a bunch of exiles and poo poo who historically tended to fight for the cause of Targaryen bastards and pretenders, which is how they fit in with young Griff/Aegon (also there's probably a relation of either Varys or Illyrio or both to the Targaryen bastards/pretenders and why they are so interested in all this crap). Again makes sense that they changed them to be the bank's private army in the show, because they cut out everything around them and why they do what they do (or what they are going to do if gurm ever finishes another book). They had to be given some motivation in the show because they decided to keep them around because the showrunners liked the name.

Maybe if they're clever they could do this and save on the CGI budget by just making it like that show Wilfred, and have Ghost just be played by a guy in a bad wolf costume who talks to Kristoffer Hivju, but everyone else reacts to it like it's a dire wolf doing dire wolf things and sounding like a dire wolf (except you always just see a guy in a wolf costume).

There's like 0 chance those guys didn't take everything that wasn't nailed down and skip town the minute she left. Dany is the worst. That's kind of the point, but both the writing and Emilia Clarke are terrible (though after seeing her react to that interviewer's question I can forgive her for being a bad actress)

Yolomon Wayne posted:OK you know what? Apart from the Merman theories there's also a theory that Varys is in some way a Targaryen himself. Then again, according to theories, everyone is. In that theory that's how he knows everything about getting around the Red Keep, why he shaves his head, and also why he's so invested, together with Illyrio (who's probably also, according to theories, related to the Targs somehow, or his dead wife was, can't quite remember), in getting a Targaryen on the throne (he abandoned a pretty good swindle over in Essos to go to King's Landing for *some* reason). Then again he'll probably just die anyway. I think one of the spoilers says Dany is going to execute him. I mean they already kind of cut out his and Illyrio's whole scheme with young Griff and the Golden Company (yes, they are still in, but pretty much in name only), so really he doesn't really have much plot stuff to do any more except stand around and say cryptic poo poo.

The end of the Dothraki? It didn't really look like there were more than a couple of thousand in that charge at most. I mean Drogo was supposed to have 50 000 warriors alone (which probably puts his entire following, with women and children, at some 200-300 000), he was powerful to be sure, but it's clearly stated that there were many more hordes out there. One figures there would at least be several hundred thousand to a couple of million of them in all. Though you never should underestimate how stupid the people writing this have gotten and how little thought they give to what they write. etalian posted:He got fired since he had the gall to ask slightly more money per episode.
