The Burlington bar collapsed into a singularity last night

While it's true that Helm Deep couldn't be that bright if it was really at night, D&D went way overboard, probably to hide budget cuts as they pocketed what was left of the budget when the actors had been paid

I don't think her and Arya run the same.

Exactly. Let's just pay for some $10,000,000 CGI dragons instead and still not be able to see them.

Post a screen cap of how it looked for you then faggot

Exactly this.

How could he do that. What it looks like depends on your monitor.

One is a horror film where claustrophobia is the intended effect, because it increases fear of what;s past the precipice of light.
One is a war scene, where the intended effect is to make people feel exhilarated due to awesome action sequences. This fails because you can't see chit captain.
Ironically, The Descent had better lighting anyway.

Fire should've been more intense and used side lighting, maybe shooting before morning, idk was pretty good anyway.

It's also 1440p.

I had to crank up its brightness to barely see anything. If you knew anything about calibration you'd know that they don't crank up brightness because it messes with how print would look.

Apologist cucks.

Helm's Deep will always be the peak of medieval battles. It won't be outshined by anyone nevertheless by dynamic-entry-ninja-girl

I just rewatched parts on my phone and it actually looked a lot better on a smaller screen. Makes me believe the issue was with the blurriness over the color. It was still dark, but it looked clearer. There were a lot of out of focus and jump shots which will be more distorted on a bigger screen.

The problem wasn't necessairly the brightness considering they had to do that to hide things because of their budget but there wasn't a nice dynamic to the battle. It was a feature length episode but it didn't have the ups and downs the little victories the defeats, it just was a clusterfuck. Barely anyone spoke, nobody really adapted etc. the charcters didn't shine or do what they're good at.

>Barely anyone spoke
This has been the past three episodes increasingly.
It's like the writers just... ran out.

This
Helm's Deep looked like shit in comparison

>and many people claimed it could even dethrone Battle of Helms Deep for the greatest battle in cinema history.

Pathetic. It didnt even hold a candle to it

Anyone that disliked this episode is an absolute pitiful brainlet that should kill himself.

Theon literally died for no reason. And they stole the Arya library scene from a low budget movie I saw on the Horror Channel last year. Camera movement and all.

>this tv shill in every thread

Imagine not liking this episode. What a sex-free life you guys must have.

- To fucking dark on the battlefield. To the point where I got surprised when the horse riders started riding out. It completely slammed me out of any immersion I had.
- Absolutely destroyed previously established lore.
- Entire episode was a cop out in order to get rid of said previously established lore (like Azor Ahai).
- Typical "lol imma watch you and give you a shitlong time to retaliate" trope.
- The only main characters (if you can even call them that) who died is people who have been pretty much irrelevant for quite some time now.

+ Pretty cool visuals.
+ The dragon fight in the sky was pretty cool visually. Certain shots looks like straight out of a painting.
+ Hound staying true to his character and freezing up for a moment, just like at blackwater.
+ Tyrion loosing faith in himself due to his bad decisions.
+ Night king displayed some pretty good strategic decisions, making him a bit human. Such as deciding to resurrect the dead inside the crypts.

Visually (besides the insanely darkened shots, comparing it to helms deep is just pure arrogance) it was cool. Lore wise they fucked it up. Again.

I had a glimmer of hope at the start of the battle when they were getting overrun bigly that dnd might do something cool and kill off a ton of then unceremoniously in overwhelming fashion

But no. They were like hero units in an rts game. Jaime, brienne and sam being swarmed up against that wall for 40 minutes was particularly bad, and sam being saved over and over at the last minute

>comparing it to helms deep is just pure arrogance
How so?

Might be stupid, but I think they didn't really utilize the characters to their full potential. Tyrion and Sam didn't bounce ideas doing some desperate crazy genius thing which turns out to be futile, the military strategy was shit, the fights were meh, and so on.

Why did they have to add the little swoosh of hair and the wight looking to the side? If not for that, I could justify Arya getting the jump on NK by being in the fucking tree or something.

But nope. Now we know that she literally just ran up to him.

I really enjoyed the music of this episode, too. It made a lot of the sequences more horror-like.

>comparing it to helms deep is just pure arrogance
They are different, indeed, and i will need to watch it again a few more times to decide for sure. But on its own, this battle is very close to that. The way it conveys the desperate situation of the battle, this one is far superior. The confusion of the battle is far more realistic.

Helm's Deep was still better.

Why was this so much more emotional then a 10 year old character being killed off?

He disappeared during the first charge. Chances are he's dead, but some managed to escape back, so he might be hidden in a forest or something. Also didn't come back as a zed to bite anyone, and that would have been a juicy drama moment to skip on it without reason.

>The confusion of the battle is far more realistic.

I'm so pissed about it it hurts.

One of the faction was using overruning with numbers as his strategy, it wouldnt have made sense to see all the undeads lined up finely. The quality of their standard troop is lower than human, they need to charge all together like that. Pretty sure if you were in a real battle as a grunt you wouldn't understand shit all the time. You would obey the orders and hope to survive. Looking at it from a drone pov is underwhelming.

Cringe

the entire episode was green screened like a marvel movie. it would have looked like shit without the smoke and darkness

I have THX reference everything, all calibrated.

I couldn't see shit.

Nice! Is Jon's dragon there too? After the struggle against NK he crashed down and wasn't seen again, but it didn't seem like injuries were fatal.

Looks like all the CG budget was spent on ep 3.

Because Haldir's motivations involved concepts of honor, tradition, and loyalty to a cause greater than himself in the face of annihilation.

>An Alliance once existed between Elves and Men. Long ago we fought and died together. We come to honor that allegiance.

>We are proud to fight alongside Men once more.

Lyanna Mormont's 'motivation' was owning straight white males epic style with the writing team ensuring that she wasn't realistically immediately squashed like a bug

So, like 50 people survived in the end?

House Mormont is now extinct right?

>One of the faction was using overruning with numbers as his strategy, it wouldnt have made sense to see all the undeads lined up finely.
Obviously. This doesn't have anything to do with the battle being largely incomprehensible to the viewer though.
>Pretty sure if you were in a real battle as a grunt you wouldn't understand shit all the time. You would obey the orders and hope to survive. Looking at it from a drone pov is underwhelming.
This is the dumbest reasoning ever. By your logic almost any combat should be quick and incomprehensible since that's how most chaotic scenes are in real life.

The fact that I can't tell what the fuck is going on means they can't meaningfully build any tension, because I have no sense of the action. The Battle of the Bastards was able to convey the frantic energy of a chaotic battle without sacrificing comprehension.

Anyone who thinks this fucking retarded shit episode is even close to Helm's Deep should be shot.

It's not about colour scheme.
I'm almost certain it's about HDR (high dynamic range). You'll need a TV or monitor with HDR and probably an HDR copy of GoT in order for black not to look just black.

Assuming i wanted all battles filmed as this one is only your brainlet assumption. I liked seeing it this way in this specific context because the undead faction made it fitting.
Maybe i can resume what happened to make it easier on you: bad guys attacked in open field, won; then proceed to siege, overrun walls; then starts butchering anyone inside castle; wasn't too hard to follow, honestly.

“What of good Solonius?”

Honestly, it was perfect. This entire episode was flawless, just not in the way Yea Forums expected it to be. This episode summarizes every argument against the show and proves all of its detractors 100% correct. The show went to shit in Season 5. Everyone was in denial about it because they wanted it to be good. They wanted the dumb things put out there by D&D to be retconned or extrapolated upon later, thus justifying their faith in an "epic" tv series for the past few years. But they were wrong. Supremely wrong. And there's no possible salvaging of it now. Eight seasons of build up and tension all to lead to a mid-season climax that ended as dramatically and with as much poignancy as a loud fart right in the middle of exchanging wedding vows. It was like having two hours of dialogue and drama in a serious political thriller only for it to end, at the apex of the action, with someone unrelated walking on screen and honking a doggy squeak toy for comedic effect. And right as you sit there, confused and bewildered, asking "What in the fuck?" the credits roll. That's Game of Thrones now. All that plot, all that tension, all that anticipation, all that investment from the viewer is now not just dead, but killed in a completely hilarious and embarrassing way.

It could almost be forgiven if the point was D&D saying
>FUCK YOU hahaha ;)

But they're not even clever enough to be taking a shit on the audience. They legitimately thought that episode was the best thing television has ever seen, and what the people really wanted was a smirk-off between Dany and Cersei as the climax of the series. It's like watching the medieval fantasy equivalent of the Hillary Clinton campaign.

Literally better than the shit we got

Has to find the right setting on the tv. It wasn’t that bad.
Nevertheless, there was awful military tactics, idk why the catapults and trebuchets were sort of wasted like the dothraki. I mean, Rob was known for his military prowess, never losing a battle. Meanwhile, mr prince that was promised and his “sisters” went full retard. You can’t win against-all-odds battles by just being retarded.

>Assuming i wanted all battles filmed as this one is only your brainlet assumptio
you're saying it's better because it's incomprehensible, i'm just following the logic you set out
>Maybe i can resume what happened to make it easier on you: bad guys attacked in open field, won; then proceed to siege, overrun walls; then starts butchering anyone inside castle; wasn't too hard to follow, honestly.
of course it's not difficult to sum up after the fact. but the battle had no rhythm or flow to it whatsoever. it was literally just compiled shots of random characters fighting zombies that could've been in almost any order without any difference, shot so dark it was difficult to tell what was actually happening, and then just cutting away when they're completely surrounded without any sort of resolution. i guess they just fought their way clear offscreen?

how the fuck is that a good battle? just because it was confusing?

Fuck, that literally looks like a videogame but with details removed and everything blurred to hide it.
Where is it even focused, everything in the picture is out of focus!

Fuck off bitchass cunt. I just looked at a few seconds of episode online with my 32" Dell Ultrasharp 4K monitor and still couldn't see shit.
Switching to CIERGB color profile helps a tiny bit but not much. Just a shitshow.

wow just like jesus bravo D&D bravo

If you're looking at it from a brightly lit room, yes. Left is what it looks like when you're out there, your eyes adjust, you can walk around at night without a torch and you'll see things just fine

You know for all its faults and shittyness i'd have allowed it if they let the hound cleave more than 5 cunts in half, like jesus christ i need 15 minutes of grey worm looking intense but clegane can't shine? fuck this shit

Wow it’s almost like GoT sucks dick or something.

From what I read, they had an insanely massive budget for a tv production. Per episode, it was unprecedented. Should not be an excuse.

Pretty much this. The battle has no rhythm to it.

The main thing that annoys me about this is that the Night King was killed midseason. The show has been building up the confrontation with the White Walkers since the first scene.

However, now the final battle isn't against the being that can raise the dead, that can kill dragons with a throw of a spear, that is immune to dragon fire and can create large snow storms. The final villain will be Cersei, a woman who is psychotic and incompetent, yet somehow keeps winning. She makes shirtless twin daggers Ramsey seem like Ramsey against Jon Snow. I guarantee she will kill off more main characters than the army of the dead did and this is likely because D&D find Lena Headey smirking whislt drinking wine to be the height of television.

They said God knows how many times that this was a hopeless battle. They keep retreating and giving up positions as it was supposed to happen until they can no more and get cornered and basically all killed. The only people moving fast on the battlefield are Dany and Jon, because of the dragons. Everyone else was outside of winterfell first, then moved inside, then got cornered and slaughtered.

>They keep retreating and giving up positions as it was supposed to happen until they can no more and get cornered and basically all killed
It just all pretty much happens at once though, the only time the battle really had any sort of flow back was when Melly lights the trench on fire, from then on its just a zombie moshpit. Characters like Sam get grappled to the ground by zombies and it just cuts away to another character getting surrounded. Are they alive? did they die? did they fight their way out? who knows.
>The only people moving fast on the battlefield are Dany and Jon,
And any character that needs to rescue another, then they'll just teleport to that character's aid regardless of where they were before, like Jorah just appearing outside the castle walls to save Dany somehow.

Who cares honestly? Why do they need armies for? They have 2 dragons and they can just let Arya on the loose in the Red Keep. What can stop her at this point ?

Didn't we have a touching moment about needing all women, elders and children to fight too if they wanted to win the battle? Fucking lazy asses.
Well, if they use dragons on king's landing the win should be easy. Dunno if golden cucks know how to deal with them.

They should have had the Dothraki parked a few dozen miles away to ride in and flank at a proper moment. That is the most basic bitch medieval combat maneuver. See: Return of the King. Instead they had a bunch of horseback Persians rush the undead with regular steel swords like fuckin Agincourt. When every dead soldier you leave behind gets resurrected, wasting 50,000 people in 30 seconds seems like a really bad idea.

So no, you fucking muppet. This is not how you use shock troops.

people forget it would have looked like shit because the scales were real, the buildings were not CGI but neither real made of stone, so they had to mask it

This sums up what was going through my mind during the final 10 minutes of the episode:

>*Episode's near the end of it's runtime.*
>"The situation is dire and the White Walkers are winning. There's no means of escape for the protagonists.
>There's still three episodes left and as much as D&D love Lena, they'd never have the balls to kill off most of the cast and have Cersei vs NK as the endgame."

>*A slow montage with dramatic piano music plays as NK approaches Bran.*
>"Most likely resolution: Someone is going to jump into the frame right behind him and save the day at the last second. Jon, Dany, and co. are occupied. Theon is dead.
>Which leaves..."

*Arya jumps into the frame right behind NK.*

She was cool imo, but i don't live in a feminism paradise so seeing a kid actually behaving like an adult is only a good view and a good example to me. Not some empowering propaganda.

>greatest battle in cinema history
but that's Pelennor Fields

So the biggest threat to whole Westeros gets a literal "nothin personel kid" treatment from a anglo-goblin, jesus fuckin christ

It's that she's a child that's the most disgusting to me. The fact it's a girl (and thus definitely feminist propaganda) cements it.
She could have had a "heroic death" that wouldn't also be gratuitous, but no.

Hottest woman alive

Yeah, it's not like there's been several battles lost to said massive army and many warriors in the good guys army were survivors of said battles and saw them first hand, and have been trying to gather enough forces to stand up to this impossibly huge army.

That'd be really stupid, if they acted like they did in this episode, knowing all that.

youtube.com/watch?v=3dvj3JIIxhI

She ran along the Ravens in the air obviously.

Is that from Sonic '06? The woman is clearly Sonic's love interest from the movie imprisoned in Eggman's castle. You can see his robots below.

>I have an exceptionally low IQ and don't understand that the scene was so dumb it was immersion breaking, even to normies who don't know medieval battle tactics

How's any death on battlefield gratuitous? They are there to battle, everyone is at risk of death. No particular reason for it.

Its probably best they hid the effects as much as possible.

They had artillery (their trebuchets) that they used a single time, and didn't bother using after the dothraki all died. Charging the dothraki was stupid. Having artillery you don't use is stupid. Every tactical decision made last night was STUPID!

Damn, that actually looks pretty good.

>>Gritty realism
Arya's move was groan inducing and shattered SoD in an episode where we saw ice giants and dragons.

A little girl should not be on a battlefield.

Nothing personnel, kid.

So what was the plan? Just die near the castle and wait untill NK gets to Bran?

Bran basically told him, "hey, you die here. " theon couldn't think of a cool way of dying so he went for an anime charge. Pretty cool, desu.

Honestly, this did nothing for me and I cannot understand how can normies can shill this.
I mean why would I care about anything? Zombies are not interesting characters, I don't care about any of the characters. The characters keep making stupid decisions without real tactics.
Battle of Black Water was better than this in every way.

>blaming Martin for DnD's shit

Yeah I didn't have any problems too, who would have though that Yea Forums is made of monitorlet.

For Tolkien it was pretty gritty, but it still isn't close to Gurm edginess. The only thing that was unique to CoH was the slight sexual themes that only stand out because of his otherwise puritan writing. What with one instance of attempted rape (the outlaw Turin killed while he was chasing a half naked girl), some Easterlings forcibly taking some Edain women as wives (guess you can call that rape as well) and enslaving the rest, and one instance of unknowing incest, which is still more tame than Jaime and Cersei or the hundred generations of Targ incest. In the end CoH was just a rewrite of the tale of Kullervo. Down to the unwitting incest and talking sword.

Shooting at night means they can cg in more stunt workers than they actually bother to pay. Battle scenes cost many shekels, goy!
You got jewed. Bastard bowl was the closest thing this piece of shit show came to a battle scene.

It was basically the same thing Dr Strange did in Endgame
same way the Arya moment is basically the same thing that happened in TLJ's throne room

youtube.com/watch?v=OiHtCzLFymM
Why is this battle scene the only good thing to come out of GoT in the several last seasons?

This is not correct. Left is what looks like with moonlight.

When it is dark with no moonlight, you see shitall

And here is the difference, GRRM is edgy, but his books are full of marry Sues who will survive no matter of what, while Tolkien have much more "unavoidable Doom"

>But you're also a stupid one.

Sure, not the one from the books, but the fight scene is fuckin great

Hoth > Helms Deep

The episode was pretty alright up until the wights retook the castle and I realized none of the important characters were going to die.
Lighting was shit yeah, but it did feel sort of hopeless despite the fact that I knew everyone was going to make it.

Of course it was more tame, I'm not disputing that. Even the bible is edgier than Tolkien.

Ironically I think Theon could have just stood there and waited for the NK to walk up to Bran. The few seconds where goblina was silently sprinting didn't seem to require the distraction to cost Theon's life.

>Bran misgendered him
unironically this

jesus christ how much of a pleb can a person be

Spoilers: Arya takes the face of The Mountain and she wears stilts to make it seem like she is 7 foot tall. Then she kills Cersei from behind.

It lasted a generation until the last hero found the children of the forest and dragonglass, and then both together fought back the Others in the Battle for the Dawn.

This battle nests nicely between Twilight & Battle of Hogwarts.

Great job, m8.

great post

so if you watch the post-episode annex they talk about how the plan was to charge the dothraki and the dragons to not engage (which was obv. retarded) so they can guard bran.
then danny uses the dragon anyway, bc they say she couldn't just watch the dothraki get slaughtered. normally movie logic dictates that such a deviation from the plan results in some other cost. that didn't happen did it? the dragons weren't deciding the battle and the nk took his sweet time getting to bran.. so it was all inconsequential?

Lol it IS just like the heroes in Warcraft 3!!!!

Unless they coated his fangs in dragon glass or gave him a valyrian steel grill, what the fuck was a wolf gonna do against white walkers?

What did they think was going to happen when they charged w/ the dothraki?

What happened to Gendry? I didn't see him after the first fight outside.

The NK could've jumped from Viserion right to where Bran was and they couldn't have done anything to prevent it because the guy that thought that having catapults and trebuchets in the front lines apparently doesn't know about ballistas and thinks the only medieval weapon with arrows is the bow, so no crossbows either
But yeah, nothing was at stakes in this episode.

That is what half the scenes unironically looked like.

>wasting the brown dothraki as cannon fodder, so they won't get the opportunity to permanently settle in westeros as legendary heroes
>only brown unsullied survive, but they are eunuchs anyways
Based

I am starting to believe that they shot all the episodes but forgot about Ghost and when Martin Was shown everything He demanded them to add Ghost, so they told an intern to do it and that's why it's like the fucking wolf is not even there.
It's just an after thought

>devolved to hero units

>can’t have John sitting there on his fucking dragon light the trench.
>poor writing plot device hero appears out of nowhere, multiple times

The only hope this show had was a complete route and 3/4 of the cast slaughtered. Instead we are going to get some horrendously gay boring shit with the Golden company. What a shitshow. I’ll wait for the last 3 episodes to view them together. I don’t even care anymore, fucking hack writers.

Ofc we won't. None of it will ever be mentionned again, not even on Cersei's side. Characters of this show behave like 21st century jaded atheists who have no capacity to wonder at anything.

>Cersei needs a special ballista to even hurt the dragons
>Some shitty wildling zombies can now easily pierce the dragon's scales with old and maybe even rusted knives/swords
>NK is immune to dragon fire
>NK dies to valyrian steel, which is great only because it's made with dragon fire
>A 100 white walkers do absolutely nothing, even though each of them carried the ice spears, they could at the very least threaten the dragons from the ground
>Arya can sneak around the undead, she could've picked out the WW from the very start of the battle and inflict much larger casualties, she instead spends her time shooting a few wights off the wall and stealing the NK's kill from literally any other character
The more I think about it the shittier the episode was

I have only seen the first three or so episodes of Game of Thrones, and I didn't love it so I quit, but all I've heard about is how dark this episode was. I had no idea it was THAT dark, though. Is that really how it looked? Because that's unacceptable.

It was a siege. They should have had the artillery in the courtyard and archers on the walls with all the infantry defending the gates and the cavalry parked somewhere else for a time they were needed. Aka: Exactly how Blackwater was arranged.

Speaking of which, remember wildfire? Remember that being a thing? Remember Tyrion destroying an entire fleet of ships with it? Why didn't they use it here? Why didn't Tyrion remember to use it? Why could they not even get the use of pitch correct? It's supposed to be dumped on the enemy and lit on fire, or alternatively spread over fields and then the fields lit on fire. Dumping it into a 3 foot trench is asinine and not at all how it was used in any siege, ever.

Why weren't the archers continuously shooting? Why were there only 20 archers? Why the fuck was Winterfell so poorly designed that it had not even basic defenses against a siege, including a trench, drawbridge, ballistae, catapults, portcullis, etc? The whole castle was so indefensible that they should have taken one look at it, realized it was pointless, and fucked off down south. Arguably the best position in the entire GoT world to defend against a northern invasion is actually that river where the Freys live. In the books, the white walkers can go under water. In the show, they can't. So funneling them into a river crossing kill box would be the easiest in-show thing to do.

Not even mentioning that Dothraki fodder gayness.

>someone on Yea Forums actually knows about dogma 95

We won't. NK won't be mentioned again. His arc is over. We will never know who he is or why he did any of the things he did. He's just a generic bad and D&D are Jewishly happy that that plot point is swept under the rug so they can go back to Game of Smirks and Fuck White People

Man fuck off, everything looks wicked on my monitor except for this shit. Nothing's gonna help you when they filmed the episode in darkness in the first place.
