how do people get this far into the show if they think an episode like that was just pointless filler?

Xanderkish posted:Since I'm on my "The GoT old days" kick, one other thing I liked but that I feel has been missing from more recent seasons was how injuries persisted and influenced the story. The book had some things the shows didn't like Jon getting his hand burnt to gently caress and never being able to move it right afterward, or Tyrion's battle injury costing him a good chunk of his face, and of course the show had things the book had like Bran getting crippled as gently caress, Jaime losing his limb, Theon losing his other limb, etc. It was interesting to me because it felt like something that would reasonably happen in a world as violent as GoT (and something that happens all the time in real life but curiously rarely in stories). arya should have been permanently blinded imo but to be fair she got her eyesight back in the books as well

I thought the initial reveal of Jon's parentage in season 6 was handled really well but then they had to do it again with Sam and Bran in season 7 in case people didn't get it the first time, which apparently (anecdotally, at least) a lot of people didn't

IncendiaC posted:Clarke's best performance outside of S1 was the S3 scene where Dany smugly tells that one slavemaster to gently caress off in Valyrian and commands her dragon to burn him alive. that's because she basically plays the entire character as smug but that is the one scene where the smugness works

sansa v dany scene was good by the way, especially because I had heard before the episode officially aired that they just ended their conflict in that scene which is pretty clearly not the case, so it was a nice surprise that it ended the way it did

Xanderkish posted:This also fascinates me. I'm sure plenty of people who complain about it complain because the show's gone in directions they don't like, which I get, because I felt that way about Hannibal season 3. It's for those people who seem to have not enjoyed the show for a long time that I don't get. I mean, I have enough of a problem finishing shows I actually like. And even when a show starts going in a direction I don't like (again, like Hannibal season 3), I just, you know, stop watching, because I don't have the time or inclination to watch a show that bores/upsets me. What attracts a person to watch a show that just makes them so angry all the time? people who willingly post on the something awful forums already have severe brain damage so I think it's just something you have to accept for what it is

I think jorah's death would have worked better if it had been to protect lyanna because then he could have been redeemed in the eyes of his family but on the other hand lyanna getting wrecked kind of ruled too

was there a reason the night king had to specifically kill bran himself? I'm guessing no but I was hoping there would be some kind of revelation when it was just him and bran but then arya had to come in and ruin everything!

Red posted:Bran possesses one of the best methods of tracking and predicting the actions of the Night King; wipe out Bran, and no one else on the planet has a clue about you. I understand that but I wish the show had done just a little bit more to justify the Night King feeling the need to kill Bran personally

Boogoose posted:I've learned to separate the T.V show from the books a long time ago. It's worth pointing out that A Storm of Swords is clearly the last intended book of the series, as it is the only one of the initial books with an epilogue. It sets the final state of play of Arya going off to learn to be an assassin, Jon assuming control of the Night Watch, Sansa becoming Littlefinger's apprentice and Bran having adventures beyond the wall. It's about this time that it turns out A Song of Ice and Fire is tremendously popular and going to make bank, at which point further books and questionable plot points in the show appear. not sure where you got this idea but Storm of Swords is just the intended end of the first act/half of the series, and the second half was supposed to be about Dany returning to westeros before the whole thing spiraled out of control

Boogoose posted:See, I don't think GRRM is that good of a writer. He wrote himself into a corner, and until the series took off was happy for that corner to remain. There is no grand plan. You don't have to be a great or even a particularly good writer to have plans for future books, even if those plans are vague. I'm just saying that Storm of Swords is not "clearly" the last intended book just because it has an epilogue

Boogoose posted:I think it's reasonable to assume that GRRM doesn't have a clear resolution in mind. He's been on record as saying that perhaps the best thing to do between SoS and the more recent books was a ten year gap, to get all the protagonists in the right place. And then he gave that up, because it would have been undoable with the burgeoning industry that was live action game of thrones. I'd be inclined to take anything that was published pre-announcement that there would be a ASOIAF t-v series with a healthy dose of skepticism. I don't think I understand what your point is; are you saying that GRRM handed in SoS to his publisher without the intention to write any other books in the series, even though it ends on a bunch of cliffhangers and loose plot threads? But then he wrote A Feast For Crows... why? e: not to mention that the epilogue is itself a cliffhanger romanowski fucked around with this message at 02:24 on May 1, 2019 |
