[Nawzlew]

episode was trash

objectively wrong.

[masagipatron]

How they gonna clean up all them bodies at winterfall? Has to be hundreds of thousands. if winterfell didn't stink already it will now. And the sun came out, airs gonna be ripe

 

[Mambalorian]

 

[ballinsam23]

I was expecting some dragonball Z fireball **** during that scene. Def wanted to see sometihng like this...

 

[i m legend]

31:33

Y'all wondering how Arya Space Jam'd NK, all it takes is a little ramp and some cables

 

[second2nonee]

my man night king really went from aaron rodgers to nathan peterman with the cannon tho. we don't talk about that enough

 

[ventureblake]

Had to grab it, feel like it’s a NT necessity item

[Grine]

 

[red81]

This is the actor that plays the Night King

 

[masagipatron]

NK back like Jordan wearing the 4-5?

 

[getback]

 

[robtoofresco]

Get that mess up out of here.

After last night, I’m done with GoT theories.

 

[calibeebee]

Get that mess up out of here.

After last night, I’m done with GoT theories.

Yep. Doesn’t matter anymore. My girl was like “WOW the night king didn’t get burned by dragon fire. He me be a Targaryen. He’s the third head of the dragon with jon and Dany.”

Doesn’t matter. He’s dead. It’s over. No MO theories. That’s it.

“But also, Bran started warging right when the night king started....” Doesn’t matter! Bran is unimportant now. It’s over.

 

[masagipatron]

There will always be theories. This is GoT! Not The Walking Dead.

 

[Master Zik]

I'm sorry but did they both not walk into traps where someone in a wheelchair was used as bait to get them out in the open, which lead to both of their deaths?

No. Thats not what happened.


Cuz what they planned was not for Arya to force jump out of nowhere and kill the Night Fraud.

NK walked up in there with like 10 generals and 40 wights.

You should be able to tell when a plan falls a part and then the writers pull deus ex machina. I shouldn't have to explain this.

Walter White had a good plan and it was executed as planned. Jon and crew had a plan and writers pulled something out their *** to make it work.

 

[antidope]

The Night King isn't dead... He lives on through Bran. WATCH

Keep sleeping man. This is happening

 

[slaughterx]

I'm glad I've never been one of those people that overthinks GoT... I sit back and enjoy it for what it is, like something made in Japan.

Most of Your Criticisms are Dumb and Wrong. vol. 1. part a, section I.



Oh it sucked because Characters have plot Armor.

Spoiler

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?

Spoiler

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.

Louder for the people in the back!

**** was fire. Just rewatched it again and it gets better each time.

 

[atlsfinest]

This shot had me like .

If you really think about it, in this world, Jon and Dany are probably the only people to ever be above the clouds. Brazy.

 

[red81]

These shots were bananas. Absolutely stunning.

Probably the best post ITT all season. Bravo!

Not at that moment which is what I’m talking about

 

[Deleted member 37467]

You stopped dancing in front of your full body mirror in your Marvel onesie to type this gibberish?

They literally wanted to hide Bran and he said no, I'll go chill by the tree because he wants me.

Not part of the plan, tho.

I know you love pointless back and forths but I didn't realize you were willing to look this stupid just to have one.

Osh in the Gift Basket, dude ready to hatch and shoot that FIYA!

 

[Master Zik]

You stopped dancing in front of your full body mirror in your Marvel onesie to type this gibberish?

What are you talking about?

Am I suppose to know who you are for you to be so butthurt replying to me?

I love how you're arguing with me in a Game of Thrones thread trying to make fun of me for liking Marvel What a ******* lame.

Bruh you're totally wrong about the two scenes.

Walt succeeded in executing his plan. Jon's plan fell a part when Dany hopped on her dragon. Everything after that is deus ex machina. It's not like the bomb failed to kill Gus and Huell jumped out of the closet and stabbed Gus.

But maybe you dont understand plans.
