actually In makes it a lot better because, on that front i've been soo unerringly correct that my opponents have essentially resorted to memes and jokes to avoid facing the inescapable truth.
Folks believe just because this is fantasy & magic is involved we just to have throw all logic completely out the window & ignore certain precedents established by the show itself.
Take Jaime for example,I know he had to survive this because his fate lies elsewhere but you mean to tell me Jaime who has struggled for seasons with even 1v1 combat since losing his fighting hand is out here on the front lines eating wight bites like Scooby snacks.
I don't care about the sneak. Her being an assassin makes sense. They even foreshadowed it.
I just want to know when did baby girl get a "James White in his prime" level vertical. The show never shows her doing squats, or box jumps. Where are her Dragonglass Jumpsoles?
I WANT ANSWERS!!!
Naw man. I call BS.
"Everybody dies." This was drilled into our heads FOR 7+ SEASONS. Everybody dies........except against the war vs the Dead, then nobody that matters dies, just the nobodies.
S8E2, at the fire place, Tyrion, Tormund, Brianne, Podric, Jamie, Davos. We're all going to die tomorrow, but at least we're doing it together. ZEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO of them died. Bruh, Davos don't eem ****in fight man, and he's alive.
SAM IS ALIVE.
Bran sat in a chair protected by 6 dudes.
Dany was surrounded by dead. No dragon. Alive.
Jon was SURROUNDED by freshly raised Dothraki/Unsullied. By himself. He alive.
Jamie with one arm. Alive.
Brianne, tackled by like 10 dead, alive.
THOUSANDS are dead. 4 minor characters with actual names among them. One of them was 10, crushed to death, but managed to take down a Giant. In fact, when they took down the wall, there were multiple Giants. How many we see last night? How many White Walkers did we see at the end of Ep 2? They killed exactly nobody. The Night King managed to kill 1 at least, Theon. After he ran half a mile.
2 years. They spent 2 years workin on this. This is what they came up with? Saying goodbye in Ep2, so they can live vs the Dead, when they were getting MURKED.
And now the Northern army of.......65? 12? How many they have left to go fight the 20,000 well paid Southerners? A hundred? I swear if they walk South and they suddenly have thousands again, I'm only gonna get louder on this bull****.
We got screwed man. Straight up. 8 seasons, since 2011, THE FIRST SCENE was fake Matt Damon walking out beyond the wall encountering White Walkers. Winter is Coming. Everybody dies. Welp.....
Tywin v Robb lasted 3 damn seasons. We cleaned up the White Walker war in an episode. Without any major deaths, just random nobodies.
Superstar Arya was getting her *** handed to her by the ugly broom girl a season ago, now she's taking on Brianne and her enormous sword.....with needle. NEEDLE.
And they follow that up by doin the Night King. Jumping from.......where, exactly? With 500+ wights + multiple Generals just sitting there.
To sum this all up, Season 7. Jon rides south to beg for help in the great war. (and dragon glass) He gets the help. Then he walks up north of the wall, to get one dead guy and travel back to King's Landing. To beg for help in the great war. They got ONE soldier. One. With one hand. And wiped out the dead army anyways. Now we need 3 eps to handle the pregnant wine drinker who traded in her brother for a pirate?
What was Season 7 for again?
****, I haven't even *****ed about lets have 6 guys north of the wall, oh ****, there's 100K here, you, Gendry, run on foot back to the wall, send a bird south to Dragonstone, have Dany fly back up north for us, we'll all be sittin here waiting. That's DAYS worth of travel.
Then we'll have the dead army take down the wall, somehow there will be multiple survivors from that, and not only that, they will PASS the dead on the way to Winterfell. ??????????????????????
We writing good? We don't have any plot armor goin on here? The first 4 seasons, were you gettin this type of "quality"?
We killed Hound, oh, nope, brought him back.
We killed Jon, sike, we got him back too.
Everybody lives vs the dead "war" *cough, pillow fight, cough*
I will at least give HBO some credit if they look me in the face next week and march 18 people down to King's Landing to take on Cersei. Do it. Show me the superstars that can't die and match them up vs the 20K. I'll respect that more than them suddenly having a few thousand still alive (that were nowhere to be seen last night)
I didn't complain about lack of character deaths. My only complaint really is that the episode was in a way anticlimactic because they built just plot points that didn't pay them off. Like they openly said they chose not to make Jon be the one that ends the war. I am generally fine with the episodeactually In makes it a lot better because, on that front i've been soo unerringly correct that my opponents have essentially resorted to memes and jokes to avoid facing the inescapable truth.
But it's not nearly as threatening now. The politics of this show are pretty much one of the best things about it, but after witnessing THAT (living dead), doesn't seem as impactful or important.
I dunno I guess we'll have to wait and see,
or his TS% last two playoffs, or pretty much any on court advanced metric in any playoff series he's been healthy...But I guess acting like any everyone is against you and ranting like your Uncle would if Mayor Pete beats Trump, is the new "just look at his +/-"
