Arya 100% deserves the throne. Only smart character in the show now.
I don't care about the sneak. Her being an assassin makes sense. They even foreshadowed it.
I just want to know when baby girl got a "James White in his prime" level vertical. The show never shown her doing squats, box jumps. Where are her Dragonglass Jumpsoles.
I WANT ANSWERS!!!
Revisionist history like a mug.
WW's have literally been told of being a menace since Episode 1 of season 1Revisionist history like a mug.
Jaime never went 1v1 with Drogon.
He foolishly made a charge at Dany & him while they weren’t paying attention & when they saw him coming, he was about to get lit up like a Christmas tree until Bron saved him.
He falls into a lake wearing a **** ton of armor. Ok. Again, he survives because Bron who is only wearing a blouse is able to pull him up. All these things are in the realm of possibly happening. We don’t know what Bron benches & squats so he can very well have pulled his *** up.
Idc about a bigger body count, I just expected a better executed culmination of the Long Night that has been preached as the real threat to Westeros since day 1.
Y’all keep saying this was never a story about the WW are either full of **** or haven’t been watching THE SHOW. They’ve explicitly been pushing them as the real issue to the world while man & their egos fight over a chair.
. They're trying their hardest to minimize the importance of the NK to this show.
Most of Your Criticisms are Dumb and Wrong. vol. 1. part a, section I.
Oh it sucked because Characters have plot Armor.
1. The idea that characters didn't have plot armor was a convincing illusion created by GRRM.
It was built on using the tropes of fantasy to convince you that certain characters were important when they actually weren't. That is IMPOSSIBLE to maintain and once we reached the endgame phase, we no longer have time for misdirection, no time to introduce new characters and pretended that they are important when they aren't
the characters that are needed in the ending do have to survive now.
2. Even if they did have plot armor I would argue that it only looks that way in retrospect,
during the entire episode, IT WAS NOT CLEAR who was going to live or die, when Brienne or Jamie or Sam were surrounded by wights you thought they were in REAL PERIL. The only reason you perceive it as plot armor NOW is because we only have 3 episodes left, if this happened in mid show you wouldn't have a problem.
did you call it plot armor the millions of times Johnny Snow came close to certain death during that past few seasons? The only reason we didn't see it as plot armor is because they could kill off a Oberyn, Ned, Robb, to mask that. but with the endgame in motion all the cards are on the table.
3. If the characters do have plot armor, do you think you can confidently pick who is going to live or die and in how long? I THINK NOT.
going forward, peril will still have stakes, because we are running out of time.
So really the only reason you are mad so many of our heroes survived is because of your OWN EXPECTATIONS, not some flaw in the storytelling.
4. Is a bunch of characters dying ignominiously under hordes of unleaded actually satisfying?
Like is that what you really wanted? would that have been a satisfying story arc close to Grey worm, Brienne, ect ect?
It actually would have been extremely lame, and would have reduced the show to a character death generator.
have them going out in against forces that we care about not hordes of nameless faceless undead. The writers made the correct decision.
2. hOw dID aRyA mAkE iT tO tHe nIgHt kInG!
Are y'all serious?? are y'all actually serious???
You guys are telling me WE WATCHED 3 GOD DAMN season of Arya going to ****ing BRAVOS, train to become a MAGICAL GOD DANM NINJA ASSASSIN
and you have the AUDACITY, THE UNMITIGATED GALL to ASK .....HOW SHE DID IT??!!!!
??????
This criticism is no worth my time.
3. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE NIGHT KING?
But what the **** about the night king?? The night king is. not. thanos.
he is a mute dude in a rubber costume, did you think he was going reveal his grand plan? His place in the cosmos, why? How, and with what time? Like do you really think it would be judicious use of storying telling minutes to focus on the god damn night king? are you crazy?
The night king was the least interesting villain on the show, was an existential threat to force the characters together.
his motivation? they told you his motivation. to kill all humans, why? because the children of the forces created him for that purpose. WHAT MORE info DO YOU NEED?
If you are mad about the lack of night king mythology be mad at GRRM, because the only place where you can do deep dive into his mythology of that type of character is IN A ****ING NOVEL.
The writers were totally right to wipe that dude off the board and get back to the drama that the show is actually build on, and that is HUMAN conflict and HUMAN drama. you should have known we weren't getting deep into the fantasy stuff when they sidelined bran for a whole season.
