Yep, they're finally starting to see through the spectacle to see that the show has been kind of an empty husk for years.
Beyond the Wall aired 2 years ago. The Last of the Starks aired 12 hours ago. BTW has had its score tempered by more forgiving fans weighing in over countless months. The score for TLOTS only comes from the most engaged and reactionary fans.
Yeah I mean I guess I don't mean to "excuse" it so much as say I kind of understand why it's happening, and it's made doubly tricky by the fact that it's surpassed its source material and is now essentially being "inbetweened" by people who aren't writers as skilled as GRRM is. It's a common pitfall of these adaptations that surpass the source, the fact that it had ballooned to dozens and dozens of characters and plotlines that needed to be wrapped up in such a short time after lazily ambling about for years prior is just an extra degree of difficulty. I think they're struggling with trying to balance "fan service" type beats with ones that are truly necessary to advance the plot... and while it's a weaker show because of these factors, I think they're doing a fine job considering. It's still a far cry from the relentless suspense and sharp writing of earlier years though.
Again, D&D explicitly said he's returning to her in the post show. They also said Dany "kinda forgot" the ballista and the Iron Fleet.
Like what? I purposefully stay away from these discussions, both for spoiler reasons and just my own personal enjoyment, but i'm curious.
It actually made perfect sense. CGI is expensive, and putting Jon and Ghost in the same screen is expensive.
She also kinda forgot that she can spot an entire fleet of hostiles from her bird's eye view, but whatever, right? Maybe she thought they were rocks.
Yeah, it's the worst episode of the show, 9.2 is utterly nonsensical for it. But like I said, GoT fans enjoy the spectacle so it worked for them. Except now it seems like even they're getting tired of the show's inane contrivances.
Yep. It's almost like season 8 has been written in response to memes, Tumblr threads, and Twitter hyperbole.
That's why we had Arya killing the Night King. Because it's "shocking". There's no narrative build up for it.
Bronn: Hey guys, remember me?
They have a psychic bond basically. Ghost isn't just you know...regular dog.
Jamie decided to ride south because at that point it's clear that Cersi has forced Dany's hand and is using the people of Kings Landing as a human shield. Jamie is going to try and kill Cersi to prevent as much bloodshed as possible. He iced Brienne so she wouldn't get killed during his murder suicide mission.
That's not what the showrunners say is happening in the "Inside the Episode."
Seems like a whole lot of jumping to conclusions, but I truly hope you're right.
lots both positive and negative and if you see the user ratings now is quite positive, if you don't count the review bombing... its wired.
Is she also the master of monster dunks?
Yeah but the other half of the criticism is on-point.
