Why can't someone just kill the showrunners already
Reminder that they'll fuck up as many GoT prequels as they can if we don't get rid of them
Hyping and building up NK character and the level of threat he posses, Bran became three-eyed Raven, Jon got resurrected, almoast whole continet answered call to arms.
Meanwhile he got oneshoted by a goblin, why didnt Arya just took 20 good men and search for Night King and save everyone else the effort?
someone should kill Drumpf too
How did we go from season 1 to this? The lack of source material is not an explanation for the shit decisions, shit dialogue, shit acting, shit lighting.
It doesn't matter if you remove these 2 puppets now, ((they)) have seen they can use the most popular TV show in history to manipulate and send political messages.
No actual clean director will be allowed to touch anything with GoT's name on it, it will always be jew approved directors that are willing to sell themselves.
The worst part of the scene imo is when she runs past the white walker that gets a closeup and you see his hair move from the speed
They were thinking “we really want this to come out of nowhere, because surprising the audience is the only thing that matters. Shocked faces = many buys” and so they sacrificed proper foreshadowing and storytelling for “le twist ending” even though you fucking KNEW that the dead had to lose because it’s episode three and it can’t just be three more episodes of the dead cleaning house and never stating an intent, and the only way an army of the dead that outnumbers the living 1000:1 is ever defeated is if you rely on the “destroy the leader and the army dies” trope, which probably shrank GRRM’s dick three sizes because people only cared about his story because he avoided tropes on purpose.
tl;dr the only way they could get their surprise ending is with an ending that makes zero narrative sense
>wanting to watch feminist fan fiction tier prequels
>The lack of source material is not an explanation
yes it is.
HAHAHAHA! Who can't fight, bitch? Not you, because you're dead along with your whole horseshit race
Does the person need to be dead for Arya/a faceless man to wear their face?
Was that her butt in the hot springs scene with Jaime? I have to know that first

whole episode was worth it to see Lyanna Mormont get fucking swatted by that giant

I was in a dark room with a good monitor and couldn't see half the shit that happened on a 1080p file, anyone else or am I getting old.
why do you retards keep making threads when the old one is at like 100 posts ffs
They probably won't have him finally master his fear of fire to use against his brother. Because they're that stupid.
He died for our sins

is this true? Sophie has fucked blacks and Pakis?

Same. I thought it was my fault, but many people say the same.

Remember telling showfags about how Tyrion and Tywin were going to have a quarrel? Good times.

tormund’s giant killing story in epi 2 could have been the foreshadowing but i dont think DnD are smart enough for that

howdy
>he somehow makes it into the next room right behind the characters he's holding these wights off for
I swear to god, D&D are like the antithesis of kino
Night King plot line was awful because fantasy elements Game of Thrones are awful, should have focused more on medieval politics
>this is a more intimidating and iconic white walker than the night king
They made the NK a meme instead of
Spoopy, whenever he’s on screen I just expect him to raise his arms and smirk
I want to believe.
Why is every thread about got or the avengers?
What is the point of this board? just call this board "Game of thrones & avengers".

WHAT THE FUCK. No one important died in the crypts either. You could have easily just put them all in the most well-defended crypt, only to have some skellies break through. Instead of having everyone think the place filled with the dead was the best place.
Bran should have WORG'ed the corpses before Night King and turn the tide.
Bran should have baited the Night King, touched him and locked him in a vision of the past loop so that someone else could kill him.
Bran should have had the Ravens blind the Night King so that someone else could kill him
Bran should have done SOMETHING.
It's almost like they were both very anticipated products that just came out, right?

Why didn't they just ask the 20 good faceless men to kill NK? If literally apprentice faceless gurl can do it then surely they could've.

Amazing that Jon and Dany have never killed a major villain.
I doubt either of them will kill Cersei or Euron either.

Building tension. This way the payoff is greater when Arya kills the Night King. The exact same thing they did like 20 times during the episode. The must really not be thinking very highly of their viewers.
it wasn't dragonglass
It was all predicated on the retarded idea that the giant would stop in the battle and choose to pick her up like that, though. It was good, but founded on shit. Hell, just compare it to how the other giant was killed. He got killed by arrows when he shouldn't have. Meanwhile this one, which would have been killed by just one dragonglass arrow that everyone had, didn't. They should have shown at least some giants and mammoths getting taken out by arrows.

I'm surprised they didnt make arya a lesbain
I get the sense that “what Bran was doing the entire time” might be explained in the 310 remaining minutes. They’re going to HAVE to time fill after this battle because the armies of the North sustained such heavy losses that the ONLY WAY the north wins is if Dany roasts King’s Lansing from 4000 feet in the air. That’s all the firepower they’ve got left. For fucks sake most of the army of the north was old people and young boys and wildlings. The Golden Company would’ve eaten them for breakfast if they survived. We are getting a CENA WINS LOL ending, boys. Buckle up.
No faggot allowed.
Does this guy narrate audiobooks? His voice is goddamn heavenly and he was one of my favorite characters just for that alone.
howdy
The NK's sword is left behind. Bran picks it up. Calls it frost mourne or some shit. It corrupts him. His mark on his arm slowly grows. Till one day he just disappears from his chair and no one knows where he is. Last scene of the series reveals he dragged himself across the ground all the way to the wall. Once he reaches the wall the ice consumes him and he can walk again. And he disappears into a white mist.

No I have curtains, but they're not fully-covering ones, letting in little stray bits of light. I've literally never had a problem with it before, but it was enough for this episode.
While watching this episode I was actually into it but immediately after o started to unpack everything I just saw and it aged rapidly and poorly, not entirely unlike Melisandre taking off her necklace at the end of the episOH I SEE WHAT THEY DID THERE. POETRY.

You're fucking stupid and don't care about any plausible reasoning for Arya, you're just mad that it was Arya and are hiding behind more and more extreme rationalizations as to how anything but Arya should have happened.
The show demonstrated very clearly that any direct force would be suppressed by the Night King. Any sword would have been broken, any fire smothered. He needed to be lured in and assassinated.
Howdy.
leave
Is that really it for the night king? Is got now just back to people drama?
I honestly considered abandoning the stream and downloading a better copy. Everything about their streaming service is shittier than Netflix, both quality-wise and UI-wise.
have sex
there is no plausible reasoning
I ALREADY HAVE, IT'S OVERHYPED SO I PUT MY ATTENTION ELSEWHERE
>wtf he said Jew this isn't like reddit lol
SO why the fuck did the NK want to kill Bran in the first place?
Bro I thought Arya was going to kill the Night King since late season 7, I mean I didn't want it (I wanted Bran to pull some dumb bullshit) but I knew it was going to happen, but what they did was fucking stupid.

Bran saw he's been assgangbanged by his posse.
Bro this episode was gayer than eight dudes blowing nine dudes. The gay has gone meta
Ikr! Arya killing the Night King was, like, SOOOO empowering! She gave me the strength to come out as a lesbian and dye my hair blue!

What was even the plan with the Dothraki? What could have possibly been accomplished by sending them blindly into the enemy like that? What a waste man, they could have at least gone out doing something cool instead of just dying like losers for absolutely nothing
Can a bookfag explain why Dragon Fire can't harm the Night King?
I always thought that Dragon Glass and Valeriyan Steel had the power to kill wights because they were forged by magical dragon fire.
Yet the literal source of the magic that makes these blades so powerful does nothing?
Why? What else is there that makes these metals so powerful if not for the fooking dragon fire?
Based r/freefolk
No. They both kill the undead, but that's about it.

>The show demonstrated very clearly that any direct force would be suppressed by the Night King. Any sword would have been broken, any fire smothered. He needed to be lured in and assassinated.
They demonstrated it because they wanted to end it in one episode. If D&D want to drag something for longer they will and use some BS excuses to do so if needed. Battle could have been done farther from Winterwell so people like Sansa and Tyrion would have had more time to escape, normal folks could have been sent south earlier etc. There could have been ways to drag the the war to the south and finish it in episode 6 for example.
This, it would’ve been more satisfying if Bran warned Theons cold corpse while the night king was occupied with Arya
>they weren't. they were relying on fire arrows but the storm made it significantly more difficult to hit the trench
no, Davos makes a point of saying that Dany couldn't see them so she couldn't light the trench
I just gave you plausible reasoning but poor baby doesn't like how his favorite toys are being played with. Just shut the fuck up and die already.
I highly doubt you've been expecting it, because you're not demonstrating any further reasoning as to why it would have been plausible when the scene you were given is perfectly fine. You had expected something else you wanted something else. And like the petulant child you are you damn anything but your exact specifications.
Fuck off.
>I just gave you plausible reasoning
no you didn't
Theon actually, literally died for nothing. Bran is a useless fucking character.
it was good filmmaking. you see the lights go out one by one. this adds to the dread you feel.
>Fire arrows
Now that is pure video game logic. This shit doesn't work in real life, never has never will. When did you ever hear of a battle in history where fire arrows were used?
Why? Well it turns out making fire in the real world is a bit hard. You need DRY wood. Not wood soaked in snow, rain, blood and piss. You need extremely DRY and DEAD wood. Next, fire arrows don't work in general because the extreme speed that arrows fly in would put out the fire before it even hit the ground. Don't believe me? Youtube it, there has been extensive research done on fire arrows being trash.
Literal video game logic with zero research done for the actual script.
>he’s never seen how long a body can survive whose lower half was crushed in a car accident
The only real problem with the scene was an undead giant deciding to make it personal

Didn't stop them from blasting them about five minutes later to a lesser effect. Even making a line of fire in front of the horde would have held them back, or they could have used fire to funnel them.
>no formation would work against the zombie horde
Doesn't excuse the shit strategy they came up with. What was even the point of those siege weapons?

ooof
Reminder Pseudo-Intellectuals on Youtube are already writing their script about how the Night King is supposed to be one-dimensional character,that he represents Death or some shit and he's actually incredibly complex.
theon sacrificed himself for nothing, and it's bran's fault.
the night king took his sweet fucking time, theon could have just patiently stood next to bran until the staredown happened and then watch as arya coldsteels the nk
it's GoT logic where they've done this countless times ie. bronn lighting the wildfire with a single flaming arrow, that other guy using a flaming arrow to light the corpse as it floats down the river, etc.

My torrent had a shit ton of artifacts too. I thought the AMZN rip was meant to be the best one?

But then you'd be complaining that the battle took too long and we'd be back to the Dunning Kruger Club circle jerking how they're wasting precious episodes on mindless jump cutty action set pieces to appease the dreaded "lowest common denominator" so do you have ANYTHING reasonable to assert on the fact that Arya assassinated the apparently invincible to direct confrontation Night King?
MUH SUBVERSIIIIOOOOOONNN
DIDN'T SEE THAT ONE COMIN CAUSE IT MADE NO SENSE NARRATIVELY HUH? MAKE SURE TO UPLOAD YOUR REACTION TO YOUTUBE!!! YAAAAASSSSS SLAAAAYYYY
Hang the fuck on. Where was Bronze Royce this episode?
Do you realize now that they literally LITERALLY could have hired a Faceless Man to kill the Night King? Faceless Men are unironically confirmed to be the strongest in the entire world.
the rape
i ve seen em. i ve never seen anyone with a crushed upper torso spewing their inards being able to live or even breathe, or lift an arm though, especially a little girl
So who agrees that Theon should've got the kill? Him or Jamie or Jon.
Theon subverts all expectations by being heroic despite having no balls. That's a good subversion in tune with Gurrms writing.
Jon's arc has led to him preparing the whole continent to fight against the walkers. Predictable, but satisfying.
Jamie has a great arc and would also be a decently satisfying kill.
Arya is just muh animu you go girl bullshit.
Dragon glass isn't made by dragon fire. It's just volcanic glass that was used as knapped weapons by the Children, long before dragons ever came to Westeros. That's why the Others are vulnerable to it, because the Children were smart enough to make their new doomsday weapon vulnerable to their own weapons, while invulnerable to the iron weapons of the human invaders. They got fucked when the Others broke rank and found the ability to raise the dead, who weren't vulnerable to dragonglass and thus able to fuck the Children up. It was at that point that Children and Man had to join forces to fight them all back, and afterwards the Children paid war reparations to Man in the form of dragonglass, so that man could be certain that the Children couldn't try the same tactic again.
D&D threw all of that out the window by making wights vulnerable to it as well, because they're genuine retards who couldn't think of a way to have the wight fights if dragonglass wasn't a one hit kill on them as well. For all we know the valyrian steel blades are just as useless against the Others as normal blades.
night king doesn't exist in the books so no
>you damn anything but your exact specifications
holy fucking shit dude, I'm such a petulant child for being unimpressed by a character sneaking past thousands of undead and several generals in the wide open so she can jump in and stab the big bad, especially after the absolute shitshow of the library section. She had so much trouble when there was a bunch of cover that she had to distract their attention, you expect me to believe she silently snuck across Winterfell without being caught?

She wasn’t aware of him, and it could take an hour, day, months for years. Not a good use of a name.
I hope Arya kills Jamie to avenge Ned.
But it was beautiful.
I'm going to give it to D&D that it's cool that Arya manged to sneak up on the NK.
It's a crime that Bran didn't worg the undead dragon
It's a crime that neither Jon nor the Hound got any 1v1 against the NK
It's strange that valaryan steel is 1-shot on the NK, but legendary dragonfire, which is probably harder to obtain, train, and tame, he can just brush off.
Also, Jon's grip strength when the dragons were flying around was a little suspect.
Great battle. I really loved the visuals.
killed offscreen most likely
>Lyanna Mormont was supposed to be a one-scene character, and then we met Bella Ramsey and we realized that we would not be doing our jobs if we kept her as a one-scene character. We knew that you can't give a big death to everybody who dies in this battle because it would have been too much, but also, if she were to die, there's no way to not make a moment of it, so that's where the zombie giant comes in. It did just add a whole level of complexity to that moment that I'm sure a lot of people would have been okay not having there if we demanded to cut. But I think they also understood why we needed to give one of the strongest smaller people on the show a chance to go out taking down one of the strongest larger things we've ever seen in the show.
This show is nothing but fanservice capeshit at this point. It's not the series where main characters can suffer such indignity as Eddard and Robb did, not anymore.

too cool
Targaryens aren't impervious to heat, look at Jon burning his hand on the lantern when he first encounters a white walker, and Viserys.
Daenerys is just a special snowflake.
>MUH SUBVERSIIIIOOOOOONNN
The entire episode blatantly put big neon signs up telling God's creation the result. But it wasn't Jon vs. Darth Maul so it's RUINED FOREVER
I can't stand the wailing of bookfags

Exactly. The characters and the entire story is linear and boring as fuck. Which was the exact opposite of what GOT was about.
Imagine if Theon had held back while Bran and NK had their staring contest, but in the last moment stood between NK and Bran when he reached for his blade. Then while the NK is busy killing Theon Arya shows up and kill the NK. Now Theon's death had a real purpose, distracting the NK long enough for Arya to finish it.
Joffrey was a chad

>Being mad about a meme-tier showpleb character, only appearing for less than an hour and doing nothing but awkward-looking javelin-throws, hand-gestures and glaring
Fuck the Night King.
What a fucking anti-climax fucks sake. Like I didn't think they could actually fuck it up this badly
In the climax when the hound overcomes almost being killed to finally win the fight Arya teleports behind the mountain and stabs him, and then this song starts playing. youtube.com
I miss so much. My favorite book character and show character. Now he's gone... I hope he gets a proper burial next episode.
Yes because THAT would be stupid.

Refresh me. Melisandre mentioned about Arya shutting many eyes. Brown, green & blue eyes. Who are those brown & green eyes?
He's in Tynemouth all the time if you want to meet him. Nice fella, very short.
No, Greta Thunberg is Lyanna. Arya is AOC

>dramatic eye opening of beloved characters
>never seen doing undead shit
why
Arya killing the Night King was not only a victory for the Starks but also all women around the globe.
Yes! We can do what men can as well but better! So, girls! Get out there today and show the rest of the world how it's done! Don't be a Cersei! Be an Arya Stark!
I actually liked Arya's anime manuevers.
The only annoying bits were the super overt plot armor on everyone. If someone started getting mobbed you knew someone was probably gonna come get them.
The dragon fights also felt lame and pointless. And the military strategy on the living side was dumb.
But other than that it was pretty good.
Most expensive TV episode ever. Seven months to film. Epic.
Reminder that no one saved Ned Stark because back then the script (book) was making sense
"""""""""""""""""""character""""""""""""""""""""""""
im fine with him dying
im not however fine with his last words, what the fuck was that bitch shit. the dude faced certain death atop the wall during the assault and still went ''lets give the fuckers a fight''
Not really that weird, seeing as just one stab in its toe with jon's blade would instakill it.
reminder that was the first night arya has even seen a white walker
>that library scene was something out of some shitty stealth video game
muh subversion ; what dumb way will cersei die? will arya be the subversion younger prettier queen that takes over cersei and sit on the throne with the rightful baratheon heir gendry and be the YAASSSSS queen of westeros?
you asked for it
Walder = Brown
Blue = Night King
Green = Cersei
Apparently Faceless Men have such uber stealth hax that they can kill an ice wizard.
he's an old white man so he doesn't matter
There's nothing to see, no information to brighten up, they filmed in the dark and broadcast at a horrendous btirate. There's no fixing it until the bluray comes out.
i.4cdn.org
This is from the shitty hard edge 1.0 threshhold bucket tool from MSPaint. As everyone knows, that only happens when it's literally all one solid color.
Brown is probably Walder Frey, but it could be pretty much anyone she's killed. Green is Cersei.
t. seething bookfag who worships alt shift x
Just to let you know, everyone in the crypts in the episodes end saw that Lyannas tomb was not broken open. Which means she's not burried there. She's buried with Rhegar and the tomb in winterfell only contains the Harp.
Screen post this.

At least Dany fucking dies, so we got that at least, which is nice

Only in the books. They've been retarded ice zombies in the show since day one.
>But then you'd be complaining that the battle took too long and we'd be back to the Dunning Kruger Club circle jerking how they're wasting precious episodes on mindless jump cutty action set pieces to appease the dreaded "lowest common denominator"
I wouldn't.
>do you have ANYTHING reasonable to assert on the fact that Arya assassinated the apparently invincible to direct confrontation Night King?
It fucking sucked.
It’s kinda weird that you all hate Arya, if this was an anime you’d cream your pants.
Doesn't Ned confirm she's buried there in literally the first episode?
>But it wasn't Jon vs. Darth Maul so it's RUINED FOREVER
This but unironically
Yes, seriously. Watch the Inside the Episode and hear DnD say it themselves.
why did arya jump attack him? why didn't she just run in, slide under and stab him in the nuts? it would have at least been entertaining and more to her characters ability
Meryn fucking Trant and Walder Frey got brown eyes if I'm not mistaken
Dolorous Edd should've died when the wall came down on top of him. It would've been a very fitting end for him, and it would've been in line with Jon say "don't let the wall collapse while I'm gone" before he left to fight Ramsey.
WHAT IS EDD MAY NEVER DIE!!!!!
except arya isn't appealing to look at.
That reminds me!!
It would have been super cool if we knew the intricacies of the magic system before the fight. In the final hours of the show, during the endgame, it would be cool to know how the NK, the Lord of Light, the three eyed raven, the dragons, and the faceless ones all inter-relate. It would be cool to know why Melly Sanders was struggling to light the logs, WHETHER BRAN WAS PLOTTING FOR THE LAST 3 SEASONS, why the NK took Bran's execution so personally, etc.

We're getting a Deadwood movie and then there's no reason to look back.
There's still so much stuff around the white walkers that hasn't been answered. Why did the start the long night 2000 after the first men and the cotf signed the pact? How we're they ever driven back to the land of always winter? How was the wall made?
I honestly doubt the white walker arc is actually finished.
she already stole NK from jamie, not cersei too
NOT ANOTHER WORD
can't wait to see reddit and all the reactionfags on yt after it airs
why is it so hard for the modern world to understand heroes?
heroes dont sneak up on people to kill them they face them head on and win
What did Bran do all the episode???
Yeah, if this was a totally different media and genre than it is supposed to be we would like it
So did Rhaegal just wander around the snow for an hour when he ditched Jon?
Why, are you enjoying any of this at all, show pleb?
This right here is why an audience should never be shown an unfinished product. Anyone with a hand in writing this show should have been forced to live in seclusion, far fucking away from any fan reaction.
The story being actively edited based on fan reaction makes this writing fucking WWE tier at best.

my exact thoughts, i didn't expect much but this fucking sucked ass, a 1v1 between jon and the night king would've been a much better ending than this shit, no matter how normie or expected it was
Are you fucking dumb? Arya's great. Her scenes were a joy to watch, the stuff in Season 1, her travels with the Hound, training with Syrio etc but when DnD decided to make her into this unstoppable Predator-esque Shadow Warrior, it stops becoming fun to watch her. Why? Because there's no stakes anymore, we all know she's going to win without a hassle.
The Waifu had blue eyes. Not sure who had green eyes.

Part of my soul died, whats left of it
>Can a bookfag explain why Dragon Fire can't harm the Night King?
No, because he doesn't exist in the books. Ask Dabid.
All she had to do is access the garden of the tree, with minimal detection. Which is plausible. There, every wight was focused in one Bran. You can even see all of the focus outside seems to be focused on that way as people are capable of shoving past the dead marching to the tree with minimal resistance.
From there we get the scene. She blows past a walker, you see him react but it's too late. She's moved silently past them all while they were distracted and in a dead sprint leapt at and was able to assassinate the Night King.
The actual most implausible thing is Jon seemed to be tarrying back and forth around Visarion for the entire crescendo not doing anything. Had he possibly slain the dragon, and taken on the white walkers before Arya made the kill it would have probably been better. But as it us, it was perfectly fine and again it's only unsatisfactory if you wanted something else and created unnecessary expectations for the episode. Otherwise if you went into it like I did you'd see how blatant it was Arya was going to kill the King. And how the episode did that part adequately.
did you watch episode 2?
Why didn't the Night King wear a suit of armour if it only took one knife wound to kill him and destroy his entire army?
>there wasn't a single fight scene with a white walker this episode

>my friend who has HBO threatened to kick me out of his house if I didn't stop saying mean things about the show
BUT IT SUCKS NOW
NONE OF THE GENERALS EVEN DID SHIT, WHAT HACK WRITING
New thread
unironically better dialogue than the actual show
You missed the part when they left out or cut or merged entire sub plots of the books to speed up the pace of the show just to run out of material even faster.
If they had sticked close to the books like they did with season 1, they still had a source to follow.
Why did they cast mostly the only good actors as the characters that die early in the show and aren't present in the last few seasons?
i forget all the actors' names but
>sean bean
>charles dance
>bobby baratheon
>catelyn
>walder frey
Lena Headey is like the only actor left with a shred of talent. Kit Harrington and Emilia Clarke are shit tier actors I'd expect to see on throwaway British period dramas, though I'll admit half of that is the garbage writing.
Dude you gonna get subverted
now that Jorah is gone, Jaime and Cersei are the only good actors left
>why didn't this character just quip or said some badass shit before dying
Because death is fucking terrifying and incomprehensible and your brain literally panics while its shutting itself down. The show has fucked up a lot of things but they usually get deaths right, death isn't like Hollywood where characters get to say epic one liners before dying, it's chaotic and disappointing.
Brienne will kill Cersei, screenshot this.
>Daenerys on the Iron Throne
>Grey Worm's love interest (literally cannot remember her name) as Hand
>Brienne as leader of the Queensguard

What the FUCK was the point of all those scenes hammering home that she's a good archer AND knife thrower?
Let down of what exactly?
Your expectations are based poorly on rooting and realism, while GoT doesn't want to be kino, nor epic, nor smart, nor amazing.
It's not a wish-concert and nobody, especially not D&D, read any theory posted on here, everythig on this board is pure projection.
GoT wants to be casual and escape the scope of critique.
This show was always fan-service, ever since GRRM sources are depleted.
They want to kill Bran because he is "the worlds memory"
OH NONONO
that is bullshit, these retard writers probably asked GRRM "what does the night king want to do" and he said "wants to wipe out the world, kill bran because he is is the three eyed raven. Basically he has a memory of the wor-"
"Say no more."
The writers are fucking horrible and removed about 10 layers of depth. Mindless dickheads
>ONLY A FEMINIST COULD APPRECIATE ARYA PROTECTING BRAN AND USING HER SKILLS OF ASSASSINATION TO ASSASSINATE A FORCE THAT CAN'T BE MET WITH FORCE
The entire story of the Night King was that you can't win by wailing numbers, magic, or any great swordsman at him. He can't be bargained with. He can't do anything but move unstoppably towards his goal. Bran's idea worked. He goaded the king into him and used the only tactic that could reasonably work. Surprise.
ok, this is based
>It would be cool to know why Melly Sanders was struggling to light the logs
That scene was so fucking retarded. All they needed was some fuckers with torches making the same walk she did(except faster because she walked at a snail's pace), instead they had her gibber away for too long.
>I wouldn't.
You would. Because you're a complainer.
>It fucking sucked.
You suck.
I thought this was a copout too. Why did the Night King want Bran so bad? It's not like Bran can warg into the wights or Others. Stupid.
Never cared much about the magical elements either. The whole show (and books) would have been better with just politics and maybe a little bit of magic like dire wolves. Dragons are ok if they get nerfed.
right? cause Jaime killed Ned, gotcha'
Most of that will be explained in the books as history being written down by unreliable narrators, hinted at by that chapter where Sam says they don't really know how many Lord Commanders there's been because it doesn't add up. It won't be explained in the show because D&D couldn't even handle the wights and Others being vulnerable to different things, a key point in the war of the Children and First Men.
hm and yet a little girl can kill an undead giant despite being near dead
Inform me.
