What did he mean by this?

>As grueling as the sequence was for the cast, it won’t be about mindless action, however. According to Sapochnik, he studied famous film battles, such as the nearly 40-minute Helm’s Deep siege in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, to determine when the audience would get fatigued from the relentless action. The British director concluded that “the only way to really approach it properly is take every sequence and ask yourself: ‘Why would I care to keep watching?’. One thing I found is the less action — the less fighting — you can have in a sequence, the better.”

He admitted to being a gayfaggot I think

he's not wrong. i mean the LotR fight scenes were always pretty boring

Wow
I hope I never encounter anything related to you again

>the less action — the less fighting — you can have in a sequence, the better.
So its going to be brief glimpses of fighting and then just cutting back to the characters with close-up reaction shots and stupid dialogue to pad it out? Bravo Dabid,

Long battle scenes can be amazing, convoluted drama plot on the other hand...

>the most universally praised episode is battle of the bastards which is just one long ass ground battle
>"you know what people hate? long ass battles"

How do these people have jobs

That episode was shit.

Blackwater was the best battle episode

Yeah that's the answer. People want to see bite-sized amounts of pointless action. It certainly has nothing to do with tying action into plot and character development and proper tension buildup. People don't want that gay shit.

I actually think the only battle we will get is the one at Winterfell.

I actually thought that the season was going to start with the Night king and Co. fucking all Westeros up and Kings Landing was going to be the last bastion but HBO will not deliver something like that

Battles are boring and GoT was better before they made them a part of the show. The intrigue and tactics were what made the show good. Now it's just talking and battles with no complexity just retarded fanservice

No, the Night King wins Winterfell and goes south and is defeated later at the Trident. The books foreshadowed Dany seeing white walkers there and there have been leaks saying that it happens.

>he studied famous film battles, such as the nearly 40-minute Helm’s Deep siege in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, to determine when the audience would get fatigued from the relentless action.
and his conclusion was that he doesn't like action, bravo

This is the same genious whose surprise “twist” to BotB was the Calvary from the Vale, which played out exactly like Stannis rescuing Jon from the Wildlings. It was the SAME fucking story. The whole thing was prettt fucked from the script though, seeing as we know for a fact GRRM told the jews that in his book version of the BotB that he will never finish he plans to have the Direwolves fight Ramsay’s dogs and they never fucking bothered to include that, didn’t show Ghost at all, and killed Shaggydog off before the battle.

Yeah defiantly need more tits brothels and romance between GAYworm and Missandei

Battles are boring if the people directing and choreographing them are retarded

>Why would I care to keep watching?
I ask myself the same question

>final season of a series that's been running nearly a decade
>NOW they announce they've decided to make good battle scenes
Why even bother desu

You're late faggot
GoT's have always been a relatively lack of clearly defined protagonist and antagonist. Take the battle between the Lannisters and Dothraki in the last season with Jamie and Bran. The show's narrative constantly flips between a sympathetic and unsympathetic view of Jamie/the Lannisters that whenever a climatic scene like Jamie charging his horse toward Dany occurs we don't know whether to feel empowered by Dany's triumph or despair for Jamie's hopelessness. The show is trying to skirt this now with a realligning of bad guys to Cersei and Night King and good guys everyone else that get screentime but then that removes tension the show leveraged by having characters appear important though were disposable.

Basically the writers are hacks and have no idea how to properly build tension and empathy in a script.

>NOW they announce they've decided to make good battle scenes
except that's not what he said at all

True D&D haven't done anything spectacular, it's like the show is just all hype now, but fails to deliver, it happened when they went on their own, storyline passed the books and they strayed, tried to get creative, but there's nothing amazing or even notable in what they did, just hyped up nonsense. You really can't single out one thing D&D did when they surprised the book storyline and say, wow, that was amazing, it's all flat hyped up bullshit.

>The show's narrative constantly flips between a sympathetic and unsympathetic view of Jamie/the Lannisters that whenever a climatic scene like Jamie charging his horse toward Dany occurs we don't know whether to feel empowered by Dany's triumph or despair for Jamie's hopelessness.
That was the whole idea of the scene, they said they wanted people to not know who to root for. You are as retarded as those lunatics at the Burlington Bar that cheered as people being burned alive and savages invading and pillaging.

is that hardhome you're mentioning? i ought to rewatch that, i barely remember much besides being impressed by the devastating attack

>a scene that doesn't know what emotion it is trying to convey to its audience rings flat and muddled
Imagine that

He's referencing Blackwater Bay and Jon and friends fighting the Night King.

He means Beyond the Wall, it was total crap. Hardhome was a lot better.

> most universally praised episode is battle of the bastards

Why? Their tactics made my blood boil

>didn’t give their super weapon any weapons or armor
>the commander charged in to get killed and fucked up the whole operation
>their reserves joined in only to get surrounded, which again was completely preventable
>had to be saved by a miracle

Jon wouldn’t be fit to lead an Arby’s.

Is Jon just supposed to mine ore and smelt out armor and weapons for a giant while his enemies continue to bolster their defenses?

they could have cut down a tree and let the giant hit the boltons with a log. That would have prevented them being encircled

Sapochnik is my dude, Repo Men is underrated kino, I trust him

My point is, give him something. A giant branch, plates of iron, anything sufficiently large in the armory. I don’t even remember if they had any prep time, but absolutely anything would’ve been better than keeping him unarmed and unarmored. For fucks sake, the giants used bows; did the Watch keep any of their weapons?

I was going to respond with something about Giant culture preventing use of weapons because I didn't remember them using weapons in any fight prior but then I found this and felt it was a far better topic of discussion:
>Unknown Female Giant,Tormund Giantsbaneonce cut open the belly of a sleeping giant in order to escape freezing to death in a storm. When the Giant found him, she mistook Tormund for her child and suckled him for 3 whole moons before he escaped, earning the title "Giantsbane" instead of "Giantsbabe" just to save him from embarrassment.
Can you imagine the embarrassment, haha.
