Because morons don't realize he isn't a character but a Super Weapon from a long forgotten war running on auto pilot.

but that's just boring and lazy

Bad writing

itd be nice if that was explained to us

Yeah, it's shit writing. If all he was is a bad guy with no personality, why even write the white walkers into the story? There's no point to it, I think the show would be better if there were no white walkers, maybe an invasion from pentosh or something.

>gets killed by a 14 year old girl
nice superweapon

That Children of the Forest shit was a lazy cop out. I honestly would have preferred some psuedoreliguous Lost-style explanation where Jon is Rhollor's champion and the Night King is the Great Other.

It was. There was literally a flashback showing it.

So much for grey characters eh George?

The NK isn't a character any more than I asteroid in Armageddon is.

Because he has the body of a human being and generally behaves like a human being.

Personality doesn't mean telling jokes, crying, having hobbies, and wanting a waifu. It just means having a purpose and making decisions that are consistent with each other within the logic of that purpose. NK kinda looks like sometimes like he doesn't know where the fuck he is headed. Even the most impersonal natural phenomenon has "personality" in the sense that it's defined and governed by certain consistent characteristics that describe its manifestation at any given moment.

They have their own weapons and armor, they create art, they made some sort of deal with Craster, they spared Sam, and the NK smiled when they tried to kill him with dragonfire. In the books they even have their own language.

They clearly have their own culture and personalities. You can't have it both ways. You can't say they're a 'force of nature' and then give them all these traits which imply individuality and culture.

Bullshit. An asteroid can only predicably go from point A to point B. The NK is clearly a more complex phenomenon. He is presented to us as quasi-human entity but in a lazy and superficial manner. He clearly is capable of behaving in a quasi-rational and strategic fashion. The problem is that it's never hinted at what is that impersonal primal force that is driving his behavior.

>The NK is clearly a more complex phenomenon
So he's a hurricane or a solar flare.

Do hurricanes smile or strategize or manufacture equipment?

the level of spoonfeeding required by the average "man" holy shit

We got one (1) scene of the NK being created which only one character is aware of, and a comment one ep before he dies about him wanting to destroy the world of men. People rightly assumed that the throwaway nature of these scenes meant there was some grand reveal yet to come. The books quite clearly hint at a more complex interplay between the NK and Bran the Builder, and even the show has him making sigils, engaging in complex rituals, etc.

just turn your brain off dude lmao

Yes

Will still need something to go off. Even Sauron had some dialogue, and a clear motivation and history.

So he dies without us ever learning what his tax policy would have been?

Because he's not a force of nature villain, and his very existence ruins the others as force of nature villains. He's just another monarch just this time he's an autistic necromancer who likes spirals.

>Spoonfeed me everything please ughhhh

Bloody Americans

She's fast!

The Night King has been dead for thousands of years. The Great Other on the other hand is fucking mysterious.

They might simply be evil liches, or they might be invading the realm of Man to honor an ancient pact made with the Starks. There must always be a Stark in Winterfell.

There is nothing wrong with wanting things explained to you..

Why was he so beautiful and mesmerizing though?

It was already explained in the first flashback, or would you have liked them to explain it aloud for you again with a second flashback?

>Amerilards

He was so fucking based

Not what your post was implying

For a force of nature villain to be successful it needs to FEEL like he's a god damn force of nature, not get stabbed by a random cunt
