Forget about the Night King for a sec, the white walkers in general were the ones built up as the main threat for 8 fucking seasons so why did 80% of the main cast survive?
This entire episode was pointless.

I guess cersei/euron are the end bosses now. subverted!
yeah," game oh thrones", it was about who sit on the epic metal chair all along, forget everything else you heard
You thought they were gonna take a break from fighting the Night King mid season to deal with Cersei then come back north?
I thought they'd kill at least ONE important character.
But not even fucking sam. Not even Brianne or Jamie.
Deaths were all red shirts like nights watch man, people who should have been dead seasons ago like jorah, or people who's entire purpose for existence is the white walker plot line like Ser flame sword man and red bitch.
The episode was just the laziest possible way of going "ok that plot point is wrapped up, lets get back to cersei and friends :) "
It's perfect and only brainlets can't understand. The night king was just a representation of pure evil. This isn't lord of the rings, GoT is more nuanced than simply good vs. evil. Pure evil loses to good. But what happens when things aren't so black and white hmm? I'm glad the NK is out of the way. And they did away with him in a manner that is a bit of a slight to Tolkienism. I'm way more interested in the battle to come at kings landing. We will see something much more intreiging than simply good vs evil. We will see betrayal, tyranny, and many mixed emotions.
>Have mysterious existential inhuman threat that is literally a walking end of days alpha lich with a doomsday army of uncountable legions of undead soldiers
>gets killed by a british slag he's never met
>Final threat is a petty monarch with a mercenary army and no fucking elephants.
>this is somehow a more satisfying conclusion
I guess this series is just to smart for me.
I figured the magical ice zombie army that was teased since EP 1 would end differently for sure. Oh well I guess they had to wrap up the magic/lore side of the show somehow
I know this is bait but how is Cersei and Euron anything but comic book villain tier?
And the Night King is even worst as a villain.
Except whitewalker were treatred like a boogeyman tale for the show.
>Spend the whole season between human conflict
>Last scene of the season
>Oh, yeah. The blue, zombielike, people is the biggest treat
It was dammed to be a dissapoiment. But I didn't expect it would be so bad.
>game of thrones is a show where anyone can die at any time
>8 years later
>all the main cast are LOTR-style surrounded by enemies and stay up
I mean how the fuck did jon survive long enough for dany to save him
how did Jaime/brienne/grey worm/probably fucking Pod and FUCKING SAM survive, Im glad jaime didnt die but jesus christ, they were all fighting atleast 10 alone at the same time
Book version of GoT:
>the main characters can die even when they seem to be safest
This shit:
>the main characters can’t die even when they are most vulnerable
Really subverts your expectations
this would be fine if there was some sort of great cost absorbed by people we care about. I suppose presumably this now makes them the underdogs again relative to the resources of their enemies?
I thought they would hold off the wights for this episode only to learn the NK was already attacking King's Landing and had a way bigger army at his disposal.
You know, predictable but better than what we got.
Jon’s whole character arc got butt fucked
It looks like almost every character was about to die several times, but they'd always cut back to another scene of them being at the edge of death, against a wall etc. most were filmed pretty nicely but felt like a bit much
YOUNG GRIFF INVADES FROM THE EAST
I thought the WW were gonna win, some of the main chracters would probably hide somewhere safe, and Cersei would have to face the Night King on her own because she was too stubborn to help Daenerys and Jon.
What is even his goal anymore. It was to get pegged by Dany but now even that's out of the question.
gods please that's the only thing that would save this shitshow
I know, they totally fucked him. The prophecy, the battle he was preparing for the whole series? He literally has no reason to be in the show anymore.
