HERP DERP LET'S SEND ALL THE DOTHRAKI WITH ALL THE HORSES TO THE FUCKING DARKNESS

Made for a pretty kino scene tho watching all the burning swords go out in the distance and sounds of battle fading

HE WOULDN'T OF BEEN ABLE TO COME BACK ALIVE BECAUSE HE DIDNT HAVE A HEAD IDIOT DONT YOU REMEMBER HE LOST IT ON THE FIRST EPISODE LMAO GET WOKE RETARD JESUS CHRIST ARE YOU EVEN A TRUE FAN LIKE COME ON THATS JUST EMBARRASSING LIKE PAY THE FUCK ATTENTION MORON

jej

That sounds retarded

Lol

The Dothraki are analogous for Huns

it was pretty cool imo. ominous and frightening

how many Dothraki were in that charge?

or if they just came back and had to get their swords relighted

>responding to that actual retard

It was kino and one of the best things I've seen in a television show

Well honestly, who gave the fucking order? They just ran and started firing the trebuchets.

this is actually the only logic reason someone would order that idiotic charge

but the hack writers probably went with
>and then the dothraki just ride into the darkness and you see the lights disappear one by one! so cool!

I also got that sensation, like some kind of reverse ninja rule where wights become less and less effective the less enemies they have left.

All of them

It was the most kino part of the episode aside from the shot where the dragons are in the night sky above the clouds and blizzard or whatever the fuck it was

This scene from the trailer didn't happen. The Night King hasn't been defeated and is coming back.

>Let's place all of our catapults and trebuchets outside of the castle, in front of our infantry.

is that an actual scene though?

They killed a lot of them. Until the Night King brought all the fallen back.

This looks more like a scene made just for the trailer to symbolize the plot of s8

how dumb do you have to be to think this is an actual scene and not just promotional material, you absolute imbecile.

arya cant be azor ahai- who was her nessa nessa? when was she reborn among the fire? She would have to have sacrificed who she loved the most in order to get Lightbringer which is needed to end the Darkness.

when she was saved by beric with the flaming and despite being injured with her city burning came back to kill the night king

why didn't they keep the mounted cavalry on either side of the city in reserve, keep the infantry on the defensive and wait for the undead to advance, and use the cavalry to flank the sides of the wights after they?

WHERE THE FUCK DID SHE COME FROM. WHY DID NONE OF THE WIGHTS OR WHITE WALKERS STOP HER. HOW THE FUCKED DID SHE HAVE THE SPEED TO JUMP UP BEHIND HIM. WHERE'S WOLF. WHY DID THE WHOLE LIVING ARMY DIE EXCEPT THE MAIN CHACTERS? WHY DID THE GIANT NOT KILL LYNNA? WHAT WERE THE WIGHTS DOING IN THE GREAT HALL FOR TWENTY MINUTES WITH THE HOUND AND THE RED PREIST? WHY DID THE MAIN CHARACTERS GET PILED ON BUT NOT KILLED? WHY DID EVERYONE IN THE CRYPT LIVE FOR TEN MINUTES? WHY DID BRAN JUST WATCH THE BATTLE? WHY DID THEON CHARGE INTO THE NIGHT KING? WHY WAS THIS EPISODE MADE IN THE FIRST PLACE?

The real crime was all the artillery being in the very front and not behind the walls. Also only fired one volley.

thanks user that scene was ruined for me until you said that. Ill pretend this is what they actually wanted

Its the reason she watched them all die from the hillside before getting on her dragon to protect the other troops.

>artillery behind the walls.
are you dumb?

And amusingly enough it means more food to go around for everyone.

A total win/win.

>you people cant fight
>charges straight into nothing

In the last 40 minutes we had only 8 or less fucking characters slaughtering and defending against thousands of wights. I mean they even got deep inside the castle rooms.
FUCK D&D

a new competitor has entered the fray!

that was actually kinda fucking scary

this, I think it was meant to be spooky not "le ebic"

They were pretty shit, so who cares, they would die anyway

Did they really a hint Sansa and Tyrone love plotline?

A lot of people pick on this. Wasn't it hyped up that Dothraki are the MASTERS of open combat?

Wouldn't it of been dumb not to send them in first to thin the hoard?

there's the scene where it looks like they'll both die and they hold hands. it was pretty moving.

I only saw the first twenty minutes so far but this has to be one of the worst war strategies I have ever seen.

Why on Earth weren't the seige weapons use first, before the horse niggers not while they were riding? Weapons that had to stop firing to not kill their own men. Then after the retreat they didn't start firing them. No sense

Second thing is the problem with resurrection of the dead. Why couldn't each soldier drink a little bit of dragon glass powder? Not sure if it would stop them from being brought back, but worth a try.

The dragons were effective but only because for some reason the dead spear throwers were too far from the front line. A fools strategy that led to Dany looking to be a savior coming in with dragon fire. Maybe she should have did this first instead of sacrificing all the horses and their nigger riders.

Lastly were where the barriers. You know light tar on fire stuff. Speaking of which not a single fire arrow. Given we know they are vulnerable to fire everything should have been on fire, even their seige weapons.

>Gets rid of literal barbarians
>Lets you know exactly where the enemy lines are
>Don't have to feed the horseniggers or their horses during the rest of the winter
>The civilized people get to see some pretty lights twinkle in the darkness before the battle
Seems like a pretty good plan to me

This is why black women want to kill white women.

Dothraki literally fight on horses in open fields. They established that multiple times in the past. Only retards think they would be of any use with their horses behind the castle walls.

I told you guys that azor ahai stuff wasn't going to be in the show. They're not going to put stuff that's only mentioned in the books that was never mentioned in the show.

topkek

>Lastly were where the barriers. You know light tar on fire stuff. Speaking of which not a single fire arrow. Given we know they are vulnerable to fire everything should have been on fire, even their seige weapons.

So that was explained, the Night King conjured up a blizzard and put out the regular fire. The only fire that stayed lit was Melissandre fire and dragons fire.

I really want to know what the plan for the cavalry was before they got the fire swords. Were they just supposed to charge into complete darkness with no torches and swing wildly until they hit something?

Why would you not just have the cavalry on both flanks so that they can pincer the whites when they engage the unsullied?

Don't walk into a woodlands brown boi

The Romans did exactly this with barbarian allies they didn't really like.

but the exact same thing would happen if you charged horses straight into normal infantry? It was literally the cliche suicide run in LOTR.
>he doesn't like rolling thunder blitzkrieg tactics
that part was almost enough to redeem what looked like just suiciding the entire horde

Why weren't they hiding in the woods waiting to charge out once the wights were committed to attacking the castle?

You meme, but the writers didn’t know how to get rid of the Dothraki before their planned ending.

Even the Mongols had successful horse battle tactics. These niggers just charge because they've seen a cool magic trick.

what happened to the hundred thousand screamers?

they honestly should have killed jorah at the beginning and showed him fight someone as a white walker

the arya sneak scene answered it a bit, some of the wights were just wandering around after the initial fighting
NK probably relaxed command and some of the bodies far enough from the fighting didn't need to rush anymore
horsemen are only effective on open terrain and actually detrimental in sieges, charging like that is where they pack the most punch. the plan was probably to engage the dead for a while to gauge their strength then retreat
honestly though it would be better to just send them south to fuck up cersei
should be ON the walls, and fired at least a couple before letting the horse niggers charge, then fire some more after the barricade was lit
should've sent in the wildlings with them too imo
makes me wonder how the cities in Essos will grow now that the D*thraki menace is gone

cavalry seems completely useless vs something that can't be either disrupted or routed.

So you telling me dany is based and redpilled?

Greetings my fellow patricians.

I considered the same thing. Those dothraki were literal savage retards. They are basically normies.

>horsemen are only effective on open terrain and actually detrimental in sieges, charging like that is where they pack the most punch. the plan was probably to engage the dead for a while to gauge their strength then retreat
Nope, it's just dothraki are shit-tier horsemen

kek

a devoted cuck to his dying breath. What a character lmfao.

What is atmosphere. It was meant to be scary. Go back to World War Z.

It’s a promo you fucking retard

quad

what was with the fucking World War Z zombie FX?

a few fucking stupid scenes.

>sending horsefuckers who are classified as light cavalry first
this really grinds my gears. that is not the best way to use cav who don't even have fucking lances. if they were facing a regular army, all their horses would get gutted by spears before they could even swing their kopesh'.

>light cavalry with scythes is meant to charge infantry head on
PLEASE never command a 14th century army. This is basic stuff here.

The real problem with this, is they didn't know melisandre was coming. So there were hundreds of cavalry armed with normal steel swords that everyone knows does nothing to white walkers.

What was the plan before she arrived to set them on fire?

Attached: vzUXk0Q.png (1013x716, 750K)

I was mainly talking before the blizzard. There was no fire weapons being used.

Why is Jon Snow totally inept?

I guess that's what happens when your "father" and "step-mother" didn't love you

so what you're saying is
the books>the shit TV series
if that fat fuck ever gets to finishing his series.

single
at that point I don't even think it's autism anymore. That looked like a cliche suicide run. I thought maybe they'd broken ranks and were running from something we couldn't see.

Why didn't they just dig a moat since they cant swim?

>the plan was probably to engage the dead for a while to gauge their strength then retreat
I feel that's pretty much impossible when the enemy is under the cover of complete darkness. You can't fight them or gauge the strength of their first wave when you can barely see them. A far better plan would have been to dismount the dothraki and slaughter the horses for food. But hell they're just going to die anyway.

I suppose complete inability to see a goddamn thing might be scary for some.

20+ minutes lurching around the castle somehow not even running into a single other character. They had no clue what to do with him in his own climatic episode. Is this the power of subversion?

It was, cavalry against disciplined and prepared infantry was usually a very bad match for them.

A horde of undead would be even worse.

>horse niggers
I don't know why this made me laugh so hard

You sound and type like a mongoloid.

They didn't want to film anymore horse scenes. That's literally it

Or, y'know, they could have flanked, the thing that you're SUPPOSED to do with cavalry, instead of running straight ahead into certain death.

so many characters are still alive. It seems like a huge mistake they didn't die there. Not even in a vindictive way, but I like the idea that they die after sansa says they all have to face the fact that they're useless. It's a question that makes you think.

>but shouldn't we actually show the battle?

Just finished watching. Fuck me just when I thought they might redeem themselves a little they go full fucking Reddit with a Deus Ex Arya.

Well, that's the main fucking existential danger randomly sorted nothing personnel style so now we got 3 episodes of literally who fucking cares about something as trivial as the Iron Throne to go.

Fucking brabo Dabid, brabo.

they died uncharacteristically quietly

No it didn't David.
It was literally retarded.

When your budget isn’t good enough to show that many white walkers.

Only if you're a 12 year old white kid.
Those of us who are adults and not white man children were just confused by the retarded tactics used throughout literally the entire battle.
My favorite was when the wights stood in front of the burning barricade for literally 3 minutes and NOT FUCKING ONE was hit by a single flaming arrow or lit up by dragonfire.

It was absolutely retarded, but worth it for the lulz that immediately followed with muh "your people can't fight" mongoloids getting genocided in seconds.

azor ahai was mentioned in the show though?

Arya was Azor Ahai

Lightbringer was gendry's dick

they almost had him pull a Holdo and die screaming at the dragon. guess that was even too subversive for them

What was even the point of having all that artillery when they only used it for 5 seconds?

Hopefully he dies and someone else finishes them for him.
He's probably the one that told them to have Arya gank the night king.

No. The show is about the Game of Thrones.

What a shitshow

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't she accidentally stab Beric out of panic? Did I make that shit up?

That's what I thought I saw. He was doing fine and Arya was the first to stab him.

Yeah and then he's got the limp and it's like god damn it you stupid kid I'm fucked now. Alright so I'm not seeing things.

wtf I love Dany now

No dothraki would ever come running back.

They put zero thought into this and just thought it would look cool to send a bunch of dudes on horses to die.

No nearby source of water to fill it. They did the next best thing, using a pike moat. But yes, Winterfell is unironically a worse design to defend than the disney castle.

Also, during the entire scene the only thing I could think of was how much they would benefit from just a few cannons and a more star-fort like fortress design.

Lmfao

Yes, but that's heavy cavalry with actual lances & heavy armor, not light cavalry with retarded swords designs that would get stuck on the first strike.

>have a metric fuckton of dragonglass
>not just hole up in the castle and stab whoever tries to pile or climb over the wall with a stick with a dragonglass shard on the end

That was operation human shield.
They were intentionally sent to the slaughter.

>hurr durr why did they send soldiers out when they had a castle

Are you retarded? A siege against zombies is doomed from the start. IRL sieges work because your enemy might run out of food before you, political concerns might draw them away, allies might save you, etc. None of which hold true for the undead. They'll just wait until you starve. Giving battle immediately was the only option.

If only there were dragons that can be used to force the zombies to charge the walls and not get obliterated.

based dany cleansing the world of the dothraki menace once and for all

Wouldn't the concern be NK sniping them eventually + Viserion torching the place.

Though I guess nothing was really stopping Viserion in the first place with the way they did it now.

but giving up your defensive position to stand in a field and face down a million zombies swarming at you so fast they can climb over each other and make zombie waves is even more doomed
