So they just mentioned it again in ep2. They will kill night king and all the whitewalkers will die as a result. Its the biggest cop out ever, not only does it completely ruin the threat of the dead, it will rob us of the epic battle they have built towards for 8 years.
You thought season 5 and on was bad? The script? Dany? Wait until you see the most anticlimactic end to a show of all time. Seriously fuck this.

It makes sense, though. Throughout the entire show they've made it pretty clear that the odds of them winning in a head on battle/war are slim to none.

Well, dragonglass, fire and other things have appeared to even it out some.

To even it out at all, more-like. Without the dragon glass they are quite literally helpless.

Austin Sanders

Brandon King
Honestly that would suck, I can imagine the undead becoming weaker not insta-killed.
Essentially unable to travel further south, with remnants of wandering wights attacking whatever they come across. Unable to add more to their numbers.
It won't happen that way, they'll all just crumble.

Has any hbo series not ended terriblly? I mean they have already had two filler episodes in the season and you're surprised they will have one maybe two action packed episodes and have the rest of the season probably doing a couple funerals probably a wedding and showing characters retiring to a happy life while leaving enough of open end that in a few years they can make a spin off - either as a prequel or sequel.
We're folks really expecting the series to end well? I'm assuming hbo is in huge debt (which will be recouped in the years to come but never the less is hard on cash flow) and really needs to wrap up the show.
Colton Campbell
This is honestly more entertaining that what I know they have in store
Nicholas Baker
a prequel would make way more sense since it would actually have existing matterial to flesh out.
Parker Jones
This is sort of the core problem with this entire series. The White Walkers and the Night King are supposed to represent death. And that's fitting for this series. For all the political machinations of everyone in Westeros, all of it means nothing in the face of Death itself. Which, narratively speaking, is the true power in Westeros the one who writes history are the ones who can wipe entire houses from history. Aegon made his name by killing innumerable amount of people in Westeros. The fucking Iron Throne that is emblematic of the series is made from the charred swords of the men who died. The final conflict of the series should have been 100% about the White Walkers and feuding houses deciding to fight for life for the first time in over 8000 years.
Instead it's going to be about fighting Mad Queen 2.0 (3.0?) and a gang of mercs who came from an entirely different country and have nothing to do with anything. And the threat that's been built up for 7 season will die off in 2 episodes and his memory put on the back burner for fucking Cersei. HOW DID THEY FUCK THIS UP!?!

LOTR is different since they were killing the Devil basically, but yeah it was kind of bullshit but to be fair JR Tolkien did start the trend. The first Avenger's did it too, and Battle LA. The vast majority of science fiction movies do it.
Liam Bailey
If he doesn't at least fly by and burn the Citadel, the writers would've missed a very easy callback

This is fine. The night king and his army are flat out the worst thing in game of thrones.
I am sure in the books they are an eliquent, mystical and purposeful faction, but in the TV show they are just fucking ZOMBIES. AKA FUCKING BORING. THEY ARE SHIT AND RUINED THE SHOW.
Getting rid of them quickly is good. Prove me wrong.

Apparently the Night King is dumb as fuck because he's going to go after Bran and not just kill everyone first.

Carter Reed
>Has any hbo series not ended terriblly? The Sopranos.

That will not happen. Fatty’s mad dad will be vindicated, because he wanted to blow up King’s Landing to prevent the Night King to create a superarmy. Jaime Lannister will realize he was wrong in killing the mad king.

It's called a song of ice and fire, zombie threat is the ice part, then there's dany with her babies. And the show is game of thrones, so a focus on King's landing for the end also works,
Nolan Nguyen
agreed, Six Feet Under's ending was amazing, and stayed true in tone to the rest of the series.
Logan Peterson
night king will catch a the valeryian steel sword with his bare hands. he'll also tank some dragonglass. that will be the only exciting part, they'll still kill him with dragons

Michael Mitchell
The problem is that this is an ADAPTATION. And yes im using that word in capital letters since half this shit has nothing to do with the books even though they gave characters with the same names. But seeing as how this is an ADAPTATION then they need to explain this version of the Night King especially since he doesn't fucking exist in the books.

The history of humans and the children of the forrest that the night king is tied into on the show does exist in the books.

You’re assuming the white walkers lose. For all we know they win the battle at winterfell and the heroes are forced to flee on the dragons. Then the night king might march on to kings landing. Cersei would lock herself in the red jeep while the city and her army would be getting destroyed, only for our heroes to show up with a plan to finally kill the night king.
Unless the night king goes to kings landing first to kill Cersei and seize the throne. Then hell send his new army of the dead in kings landing to wipe out whoever left

A nights king does exist in the books. There’s a legend of a lord commander of the nights watch who falls in love with a female white walker and goes beyond the wall with her. Sleeping with her and giving her his soul. He later takes over the nightfort, declares himself the nights king and controls the brothers of the nights watch through some type of magic.

This is neither confirmed or denied by anyone working on the show. GRRM was asked and he said he was a "legendary figure that was unlikely to have survive this long" Not a clear denial.
I dont think the timeline's match up though so they are probably different
Aiden Anderson
There just isn't enough time left in the show to develop the White Walkers beyond generic WRPG monsters.
Honestly though, the Others are just an inherently bad premise and trying to have the fight against them be a satisfying climax to the saga is probably why Gurm's fat ass has been procrastinating for so long. It's fun and sounds cool to use fantasy elements for thematic resonance or symbolism, but when you have all the plot threads of an intricately detailed intercontinental political drama spanning multiple doorstop volumes converge into something so simple it's going to be lackluster and not fit in with the rest of the story at all.
A lot of writers try to do their own version of Tolkien's antagonistic force of pure concentrated evil that can't be reasoned with or feel any sympathy, but they leave out the spiritual and religious element that gives such a one dimensional faction weight in the first place. Sauron works as an antagonist because he is fighting for the sake of the LOTR equivalent of Satan, while the heroes are fighting for and aided by the LOTR equivalent of God and angels. There obviously isn't any sort of divine or demonic origin to the White Walkers that fits in with any sort of spiritual heirarchy in ASOIAF, so they have no significance within the story itself beyond meta.
I think if Gurm or D&D had a character or faction make some sort of Faustian pact to ally with the Others, they'd be able to explore and flesh them out more by allowing other characters to interact with them via a proxy while still keeping their mystique. It's too late for that now though so all that's left is video game FMVs of our quippy heroes fighting le ebin ice zombies.

It would be better if the army of the dead just up and marches past Winterfel to fuck up King's Landing. Jon and meme army will have to pull up all fortifications and pursue and Cersei will be in a panic.

Cooper Parker
This would be good, even though the previews from the next episode confirm it doesn't happen. After how quickly things moved in season 7, I though season 8 would open with the white walkers wrecking Winterfell, and everyone having to retreat to King's Landing. Cersei obviously wouldn't let them in, so episode 2 and 3 would be that conflict, and then once the "good guys" won, episode 5 would be anyone left alive vs. the white walkers. There'd be heavy losses, but some one would sit on the iron throne, while 90% of Westeros had been killed. A bittersweet ending.

Not at $90 million a season. Television actors cost too much nowadays.

Tyler Torres
The next few battles better be fucking spectacular to justify that pricetag
Kayden Turner
Winterfell is built ontop of hot springs
Austin Turner
They make $300-$400 million a month on HBO subs though. The show takes around 3 months to come out for a 10-episode season which would mean they make $900mil-$1.2bil per season off subs.
Tyler Anderson
I would rather another three episodes of dialogue, the first two this season are instant classics
Jonathan Brown
Then the heat would mummifie them

There's also dozens of other dogshit shows they have to fund.

then why wouldn't they just cut those? Cutting the one that is making all the money makes no sense at all.
William Hernandez
Attribution isn't that simple. There are a lot of reasons someone would subscribe to HBO, and it's not always for a particular show. They kind of have to throw shit at the wall to see what sticks.
Charles Jenkins

Landon Gutierrez

Again, attribution isn't that simple. Do you have any statistical evidence for this claim. Because I bet the marketing department at HBO doesn't.
Eli Lopez
I wonder how well it will do in royalties... I bet some suit has grossly overestimated its royalties cashflows
Chase Lee
they will just mimic this exactly and have someone become the new night king to keep the horde under control.
Niemieria will save Arya. Grndry will all be like you know her and Arya will hug dog then she will fight that other Stsrk kid riding on his zombie wolf
Aiden Johnson
Cersei is the primary antagonist though. The White Walkers are great because we don't have to waste more time on some retarded betrayals and backstabs where everyone forgets everything that has happened in the past few months.
Easton Davis
you think the marketing department at HBO doesn't get any data on the number of people that watch their shows? You're pretending to be stupid, right?
I literally just googled "HBO show viewership ratings" and found all this shit. GoT gets over 3x as many viewers as the 2nd place show, and 3rd place is wayyyy lower than even Westworld is.
Robert Morales
But the entire point of the show is that the fight over the iron throne is petty because the white walkers are coming.
Isaac Brooks
thus of oulde (pre-season 4) >the watch burns its dead because anyone who dies on or beyond the wall rises again and becomes a part of the coming and inevitable ragnarok thus now >pic related
You need to start asking a couple of questions. How much of their revenue comes from cable subscriptions, and what comes from HBO Now. Chances are, cable subscribers are bundled in and aren't likely to cancel. Then you have to find out how many Now subscribers were only watching GoT, and then take a guess at how many of them are going to cancel, based on how many people canceled in the off season. HBO existed long before this show, and it's going to exist long after.
William Murphy
But that isn't the argument. The argument is that HBO is losing people money, when if you look at the numbers, even if they spend $100mil a season they're still absolutely profiting off this show based on the number of people who purely watch it.
Kevin Rodriguez
Not anymore
WAMMIN STRONK is the entire point now.
I remember the commentary for an episode last year one of the Daves bragged about how they had the first scene in history of all women leaders sitting and deciding battle plans.
I was like theres a reason scenes like that dont exist you pat yourself on the back for nothing kike.
Eli Ward
So you're arguing that HBO should just keep this show going forever, even though D&D could barely shit out 8 seasons. Doesn't really make a difference whether season 8 was 6 or 10 episodes, either way they didn't want to spend more than $90 million.
Grayson Garcia
>have a strategy meeting >I HAZ DRAGONS >nobody points out the night kings anti dragon spear chucking ability and that it would be a danger
Fuck sake.
Luis Morris
We don’t see the NK in the previews. For all we know, he sends his army but flys south and just kills a bunch of people to resurrect them to start fucking shit up
Gavin Nelson
Again, that wasn't the argument either. Money isn't the issue, its purely the writers and actors not wanting to do what they signed on to do and half-assing it to get it over with. This is their cash cow.
Go on forever? No, but they easily could've done a 10 episode season this season AT LEAST.
Caleb Turner
>its purely the writers and actors not wanting to do what they signed on to do and half-assing it to get it over with yes. I've been drinking and I don't really know what the original point was.
Cooper Ward
>forever Thats what will happen. D&D will stop but Its a soap opera and Judaism clearly dictates that you never end them or wrap them up with a conclusion. ALWAYS cliffhanger to leave possiblity for reboots and spinoffs.
Luis Wilson
>GoT fanboys expecting a satisfying ending At the 57:30 minute mark all the characters who are going to battle will be there and right before the finishing blow is delivered to the Night King, the screen will go to black, leaving you, the viewer to wonder whether they succeeded or failed. They also have a few other loose ends of plots that they'll leave ambiguous and up to the viewer to decide if they happen one way or another.
John Stewart
Reminder that this is all coming apart because GRRM never managed to out-pace the series cause he's a lazy fat fuck. They have no structure for the last two seasons cause there is nothing to draw from so they have to inject it with their own ideals (progressiveness) and style. I just hope they don't cuck Jon Snow.
Ryder Evans
look man i liked stannis too but he is dead and we all need to accept it and move on
>I think if Gurm or D&D had a character or faction make some sort of Faustian pact to ally with the Others, they'd be able to explore and flesh them out more by allowing other characters to interact with them via a proxy while still keeping their mystique. That was literally Crastor. There's a whole air of mystery they set up behind Crastor's bastards and the white walkers that could be expanded upon, but it's looking more and more likely they're just chucking it out the window to get this all over with.

Daniel Anderson
You're a dumbass if you think everything will go according to plan. Do you even know anything about GOT? Just wait.
Connor Myers
Yep. It feels kind of anticlimatic so far. I think if they knew exactly what they're writing they would have pushed almost everything back by a season. Winterfall should have been attacked/destroyed half way through season 7 and the wall destroyed at the beginning of season 7. It would given some build up for the night kings defeat at the beginning of season 8 and a decent amount of time for the epilogue with cersei.
Brody Phillips
The Night King first appears in season 4, and he isn't in the source material at all. Lack of source material isn't the issue. Persons decided that things needed to be changed and added to make it entertaining for television, and that's exactly what they're going for.
Jackson Stewart
You would need something to toss them with. Its probably lighter than a coin. Like loading trebuchet up with small peices that would spread out over the battlefield would be a good idea something like that.
Angel Taylor

Carter Sanders

Cameron Cox
But why would they be bothering with sharpened dragon glass weapons at all?
Sebastian Myers
>There must always be a night king
Eli Baker
Not really. The orcs at mordors gates die but the ones in other mountains and tons from mordor survived, they just moved in small groups had no organization and were fairly easy for people to clean up without an intelligent leader. There is also the matter of the foreign armies that then needed to forage and pillage their way back home. Yeah, the real war was officially over, the King was crowned and the clearing up all the enemy became a relatively boring footnote that takes course over a long period of time.It's But you're being very disingenuous by implying that all the bad guys drop dead when Sauron dies. Hell, even the ones that die right then don't die because Sauron did - they fall into the ground that opens up or get crushed by the fortress (which is destroyed by Saurons death but since he did make it mostly with magic that's fair). There are also battles at Dol Goldur and Erebor, neither of which just stop when Sauron dies. And that whole Shire thing that happens after the hobbits make the trip home, with Sauron long dead.

I wounder why D&D were such in a rush to finish the show, aren’t they doing a black America show next or something? It’s almost a certainty that people don’t give a shit about the director but rather the show so their new show will have drastically lower viewership. You would think they rack in more money with GOT or even a ship off

Which would be perfectly in line with th enarrative of woman bickering over perceived power and manly man actually getting shit done. It's actually quite funny how normies and incels on Yea Forums think that this show is feminst.

Lucas Wright
if you dont think the finale will leave it open to a new series/spin off you are incredibly stupid
Thomas Ortiz
Aren't they doing some prequel about the Doom, but instead of following the Targs or the Velaryons, we get to follow some random OC dragonlady?

It's not a cop out of it's an all destruct button but they can't beat him for a while! Then most of the nameless characters die fighting along with a few of the main characters, And when all hope seems to be lost, something unexpected happens which causes the heroes slay the villain with only seconds, if not less than a second, to spare.
That's not a cop out, right?

Eli Kelly
Well, yeah. That’s why you have to buy the book you retard. George is a bizness man
Sebastian Jenkins
Sauron ruled his soldiers through a sort of telepathic connection. Like a queen ant or the like. Once that connection is severed, the orcs no longer have a will egging them on and their cowardly nature takes over. They don't die, they just revert back to what they are at heart, squabbling opportunists that live in remote mountain tribes, with no higher ambition than to become the alpha orc, which entails killing everyone opposed.
Carson Baker
oh and like, Gilly throws herself to the dead out of grief. Everybody leaves Winterfell to buttrape cersei.

Rome ending was alright. Not as good as the rest of the series but still alright
better not I'd imagine the NK isn't the universal link to all the wights like perhaps there are some other leader wights way beyond the wall, watching, controlling, and hiding like negato from naruto

only 4 episodes left but still, what next? are they really making cersei the skyler of GoT? I fucking hope not. Qyburn is more a threat, not even joking him and Samwell could really brawl it out too bad Samwell is such a fucking manchild

are the cribs really where a bunch of corpses are? are they SERIOUSLY leaving most vulnerable people in that deathtrap?
Jonathan Edwards
The worst part is that this happened with the ironborn guy and was played for drama
Jonathan Anderson
The entire continent is a graveyard of corpes. Thousands of years of living and dying. There has to be some point where a corpse can no longer be brought back to life. Ned Stark was just bones that they sent to WF, not a corpse. Lyanna was likely the same. They probably burned everybody that died in the battle of the bastards.
Alexander Fisher
i'm kind of hoping Margaery Tyrell eventually weds the Night King in the books

The Night King can not die so long as Bran is alive. Bran will sacrifice himself to end the Night King.

Fuck you They've got two fucking dragons that can kill wights by the hundreds of thousands in a single day's work
Juan Martin
I wonder how they would fare against their icebro? Im guessing he would be incredibly weak to their fire but what about his ice breaf?
Jose Bennett
He makes a pact with Jon and then he and his armies depart. That's literally what happens.

holy shit. That is to based for dnd
Jacob Flores
They could've gone a completely different route with them. People speculated that men have violated some kind of ancient agreement with them and that put them on the move, and I like that idea far more than this shit about them being angels of death whose only motivation is to destroy everything. It would fit the the narrative of the first few books and would make the ordeal much more intriguing.
It sickens me that there will be none of that and it'll just be another generic epic good vs. evil fantasy fight.
Carter Perry
leave Corrigan alone you CUNT
Nathan Peterson
Jaime being AA would be kino. He got a lot of development throughout the show and his character isnt really a good person nor a bad person, makes him seem more human. Mary Sue characters like Jon Snow feel too fake and obvious and Dany gets literally handed everything to her. Her being AA would be a cop out. Gendry or Davos would also be good picks but seeing their screentime lately I really doubt it. Theon has a small chance though.
Benjamin Lee

she's ugly and i wouldnt fuck her
Landon Jones
He doesnt have icebreath, he melted the wall
Nicholas Sullivan
Also if the objective #1 is to kill Bran, then why would he attack Winterfell, and not just focus all his mind puppets to swarm where Bran is?
Colton Young
Sorry bro, nothing will be more antclimactic than then end of Dexter.
The best ending on TV is still the Shield.
Carson Evans
>9 Is he choking himself?
Jeremiah Green
why do you fucking retards keep going on about azor ahai it's not even a point in the show
Owen Edwards
In the books it will be The Great Other. The reason for the name change into The Night King is that they never called them The Others in the show
The Great Other is a god, not some humanoid faggot walking the lands.

Robert Roberts
I am actually rooting for the White Walkers. I want them to engulf the whole world in an everlasting winter, with some scattered survivors trying to live through this. with only a handful of episodes to go it's obvious, that the writers don't know how to end it properly - there's no time left for anything interesting to happen. so I'd be happy with an open end - something vague akin to old sword and sorcery novels, or Fighting Fantasy books. they obviously won't do that, in fear of angering their fans, so they will conclude the saga with the most dumb, "bittersweet", good vs. evil ending.
What even makes him a "king"? Do they have a monarchial structure? Shouldn't the term "alpha" be more apt, as he is the leader of the pack?

The Sopranos had the absolute best ending they could come up with. it's painfully obvious what happened in the end, if you paid close attention to the series.

KL is gonna be wildfire'd. She had a vision of a charred KL during winter is season 2 or 3.
Carter Russell
I'd clap if this happens.
Lincoln Fisher
It will be fucking terrible. This show slowly degraded from the books. The new show will start out terrible and just keep getting worse.
Eli Collins
it's already shit. westeros SHOUDL HAVE been conquered by the walkers like 2 seasons ago and the show should have focused on the survivors in the post-apocalyptic new long night. it's shit. always has been shit.
Easton Hall
it's not the writers, it's the suits from above. weiss is a good writer, troy was masterfully put together. sure they're jews, but as the show got super popular they were simply converted into hired corporate guns
Thomas Clark
Why do you guys support castration while shaming people for not having sex?
David Morales
I've never heard a white walker talk, so we will never hear another shitty contrived moral lesson.
Kevin Jackson
the realest disappointment hits you when you remember the hype from season 1 after hearing the old nana's horror stories about the long night, and now 8 years later it's shit
So instead of having an actual ragnarok with mysterious undead they just made a villain that controls the dead and, once killed, there will be no more undead. Brabo, Dabid. I want to fucking murder DnD.
Nathan Johnson
KEK
Ryder Green
It's truly pathetic. Best case scenario we get lots of battle before they do the insta nuke by killing Night King. Still completely destroys the whole point of the Whitewalkers. If this show had any balls and stayed true to the nature of the first four seasons, they would kill Night King early on, only to realize it didn't do jack shit and they still have to kill all the remaining whitewalkers. That would be the fuck you moment this show have thrived on in the past.
Josiah Fisher

you gotta go thru winterfell first, either that or you trudge thru the swamps at moat cailin or he makes his zombies swim
Sebastian Russell
>THATS MY PURSE >I DONT KNOW YOU
Jayden Taylor
You have to go through moat Cailin anyway, winterfell sits surrounded by plains. The causeway goes right through Moat Cailin's towers, surrounded by the swamps of the Neck.
