LeafHouse posted:Me: Wow, they seem pretty confident they're going to take the city with their decimated and battle weary army even after Euron wiped out their fleet and killed a dragon from a mile away with ease. Cersei has the legendary Golden Company we keep hearing about too. I wonder what their plan is... Oh, she's just going to fly directly at the scorpions and destroy them then wipe out the whole Golden Company in one pass while her army stands there. Huh, okay... I watched a few seasons of Doctor Who and every solution to a problem on that show is the doctor being like "luckily my wimblejibbet can interact with subspace time formations and make the bad guy disappear" and I just have to be like "oh, it can do that huh" and just accept that the solution is never anything you could possibly see coming because it's all just handwaved away. I assume that's like part of the sort of tongue in cheek thing of the show, that it's somewhat satire like people over explaining everything in JoJo but yeah on here I just kept going oh the one dragon can do that huh and just had that feeling like it was not on purpose at all lol

No Wave posted:why do people call it a comedy? I watched an episode or two and there's less humor than the sopranos had. weird comparison since the sopranos is low key one of the funniest shows ever like I get what you're saying, I'm not addressing your point directly, I just think the sopranos was fuckin hysterical so that's an odd one to compare it to

yea I shouldn't have called it a comedy I guess I can't remember exactly how it was marketed I guess it's a drama that has a lot of very funny parts like you said like the sopranos or breaking bad or justified or better call saul i mean poo poo as bad as game of thrones is it had a lot of good funny scenes also like when qyburn died, classic slapstick

Agent Burt Macklin posted:Lena Headey has never won, and even though Cersei wasn't given too much to do this season she is probably going to win like they did with Jon Hamm and Mad Men. Though he was obviously a lot busier and MM's final season was well received. MM's last season was way better than this poo poo the americans had an amazing last season also if we are talking about other shows with good endings

I should have let Stannis kill you all! I wish I had enough poison for the whole pack of you! I would gladly give my life to watch you all swallow it!" sometimes people say poo poo they don't mean when they are really mad though he isn't a baby he doesn't literally blame all the people of king's landing for the way he was treated

And I was hoping they were going to take the Bran thing further and do some sort of twist with him turning out to be Bran the Builder and later the Night King. (Sort of like what this guy had in mind: https://youtu.be/k7m6HP95EDM ) but no, instead Bran just was like "I'm a birdie!" during the battle of winterfell. ok fair enough to say the least it uhh did not work for me, that reveal

talkin about brutus on Rome and that actor, Brutus was such a good character, he just had no agency whatsoever the best was when he died, his last words to his servant were "Tell them I said....tell them I said something suitable" he was such a bitch he couldn't even think of his own loving last words for himself!!! was perfect

honestly I kind of appreciate the people who come in here to go against the grain and say they liked it and like if someone goes in and goes I LIKED IT CAUSE IT WAS COOL AND METAL AND AWESOME then like sure I mean we just wanted completely different things from the show and so if you wanted like some comic book avengers poo poo then I guess you got it my question is like I don't get how those people liked the show to begin with like the guy who posted earlier that was like "omg it was so cool when the throne melted!!! and the speech where dany was totally evil was awesome!!" and that's what they want in a show what was the appeal of the show to you in season 1? I feel like those people would have thought the show was just very dull for the first at least season if not more I mean look I watch some fuckin trash shows, I watch some anime bullshit and I loved Justified which is like a great but fuckin inherently silly show (this sentence wasn't the best, I'm not saying Justified is bad, I'm just saying I love some poo poo that isn't like Serious Drama). But if I was watching like something (mostly) completely serious like I dunno The Americans and it turned into some poo poo where the main two characters solved their problems by like doing matrix poo poo and shooting 10 FBI agents then I would find that to be incredibly bad even though it might be cool in a completely different show Stefan Prodan fucked around with this message at 23:30 on May 21, 2019 |

Typo posted:the people who watch the show in season 8 is a different set of people from season 1: because the the first season had something like ~2 million viewers and now have like 15-16 yea that's what my wife said also and I was just baffled at the idea of anyone like watching just part of a show like this, just going "oh ok I'll just watch this dragon show from season 5 on it's fine" I mean sure viewership is up but I assumed all those people went back and caught up? but maybe not! maybe they just suffered through "the bad first few seasons" because it eventually gets to the cool fights!!!! like whoa dude the zombies are like totally scary and they make a big pile of bodies and poo poo like starship troopers dude!!! and then the dragon burns poo poo!!!! there's a bunch of talking for like 3 seasons but just sit through it

U-DO Burger posted:the way i see it GoT is actually two different shows, with seasons 1-4 comprising a well written and entertaining show, while seasons 5-8 made up the poorly written but still entertaining show yeah it's just like junk food shows are a dime a dozen so it was a shame to see something that was at one point better than that turned into one, especially in the fantasy genre. I get that lord of the rings is well made but it's like...it's not really for adults. It's still something where I didn't see it until I was in college and I just went "oh yeah I would have really liked this when I was 13." And I don't just mean like "has tits", the show at least tried to explore actual adult themes of power and politics and duty and all that poo poo somewhat I guess going with my earlier comparison it would be like if The Americans turned into 24. Political issues aside I did enjoy 24 and its incredibly stupid brand of action but I would be really sad to see a very good drama turn into that. Or if like Band of Brothers turned into Rambo 3 for the last three episodes Stefan Prodan fucked around with this message at 23:55 on May 21, 2019 |

These plebs just don't understand, unlike I, who does. oh I get what people see in it as far as the later seasons I mean the big bang theory and two and a half men and poo poo like that were insanely popular, and avengers is the highest grossing movie ever it's not like I don't get why people are entertained by it i've seen every episode of dragon ball Z I can watch some pandering garbage but there's tons of it out there already and it was sad to see an actual good character drama in a genre that doesn't normally have actual good serious dramas turn into lowest common denominator trash because there was already plenty of trash to watch if that's what you wanted Stefan Prodan fucked around with this message at 00:23 on May 22, 2019 |

At the point where the books ended, the Starks are in a way darker place than the show ever got them. I would go as far to say as they've become the villains of the story, more-so than any other family. i read all the books and still hated the ending so I dunno what you're talking about really ok I didn't hate like the bullet points of what happens to everyone, they could all be done competently, they just weren't

Dr. Video Games 0112 posted:Pretty much every scene like that actually uses a fake body/cgi, according to the making-of I saw. I guess it's because most of the actors dont want to be confused for actual porn actors that were in the show, or maybe they do or something. It's fantasy so everyone has to look like a pornstar basically, if it was true to medieval life and all women were fat and hairy, GRRM would not sign the contract since he cant beat off to it if everyone looks like his wife and Im guessing actors would not approve to be remembered that way. yeah it's funny also that like Brienne is supposed to be like hideous and Gwendolyn Christie looks like average at absolute worst, just Very Tall same with Tyrion, they don't even bother trying to like really ugly Dinklage up or anything I thought the woman who played Calamity Jane on Deadwood would have made a good Brienne, she's very tall and Not Hot but she isn't like buff or anything so idk edit: looking at IMDB she looks totally normal also I guess they just uglied her up for deadwood which is what they should have done with Brienne no matter who played her also but also the men who are supposed to be ugly as part of their character as well. I guess there was sam but that's it

I'm not surprised at all that it would be really hard on any of them to go their separate ways. and yeah it sucks for them that it ended like 2 seasons at least too early for absolutely no reason other than the showrunners were just tired of it

I agree it was well-made but that's kinda my problem with it, I didn't care about the characters enough for it to be a character driven movie, and I didn't think the plot resolution was interesting enough to be like a pure plot-driven sci-fi movie so all I was left with was the good effects and stuff which is like eating nothing but steak sauce and no steak
