To bring everyone together

He wanted to make a straight up political medieval story but needed a fantasy filler to grab attention
Now that its done we're back to our regular scheduled program

Why didn't they just make little tacks or legos out of dragon glass and leave them on the floor around Night King could of just stepped on one and it would of been over no problem.

GRRM probably knew before he went braindead but the answer as of him handing the work off is 'insert marvel universe villain reason'

>what are boots
according to the writers the war for the dawn was meaningless if any girl who trained for 8 years could kill the icarnation of death after other men had been preparing for the same ammount of time and actually fighting them like Jon or Tormund

Apparently his entire purpose for thousands of years was to reduce the sizy of Dany's army. That's all he accomplished

This.
#ImWithHer

tacks can go through boots

He killed the majority of Dany's and the northern army and basically put Dany and Cersei on an even playing field.

>but two dragons

Yeah but Bronn already took a dragon down before with a prototype ballista. If they started manufacturing them in mass after that attack then they should have enough of them to just flood the sky and make dragons difficult to use.

I want to know more about these motherfuckers.

>two
I thought one of her dragons died this episode and she's left with just one, no?

I'm pretty sure the preview shows two in the next episode.

Not so fast. EP 4 shows new Targ ships and Winterfell is ok. That means that the NK accomplished nothing in that regard.

Wouldn't it of been cool upon seeing how pointless fighting the undead were and seeing them walking towards Bran the heroes retreated to defend Bran and fought those guys instead?

Nah? yeah i agree heroes should just stay in place and these generals also need to stand in place.

Well tough shit then, they are irrelevant and done for now
Oh you wanted some fleshing out of the big bad you were afraid of for the last 8 years? Nah, fuck it, they all died in 2 seconds

They are craster babies who serve NK. That's it. There was no mystery.

They are Craster's kids. You can't ask more with D&D in charge

to annihilate savages and heathens

Filler and a reason for good characters to get more powerful, you know, like a DBZ villian.
GoT at this point is just a mix of a mexican soap opera with a shonen anime plus some blood and tits minus the actually cute 2D girls that retroactively ruined itself.

Welp I thought he go rekt when the undead swarmed him
Lame, aside for Jorah, pretty much everyone important had plot armour that episode then

actually no

Avengers shit 8 vs 8 where it switched between each character doing special moves against a white walker was probably discussed by D&D and almost chosen but it would have been about the only cringier thing to watch than what happened

They're literal robots made by the children of the forrest to kill mankind. Are you expectations subverted yet?

I've been asking since around season 3 what the actual big deal is with the white walkers. They walk real fucking slow, they're shit at fighting, scared of water and their weakness is being stabbed once. They can't even get past the wall which is why it was built, and the only reason they did is because the show-writers sent a dragon north and the zombies pulled chains out of their asses to revive it. If no one ever went north of the wall there would be no threat so they had to keep coming up with excuse to send people north

Zombie knights of Ren

They traded a dragon for Jaime fucking Lannister

Kek. Basically this.

The night king was created by the children to destroy mankind. Mankind build a magic wall which kept them outside of the seven kingdoms because of it’s magic. And yet jon decided it was a good idea to look for them beyond the wall. I don’t get this at all.

Jon and Arya should have fought together, Jon almost losing then Arya jumps down from the tree. She is then stopped and killed, and that gives Jon the opening he needs to kill the nk. They also should have hired a writer with over 90 iq as some of the decisions were so fucking stupid

At the very least they should have had Theons last stand be what distracted the night king long enough to set up the kill shot. It would have made Theons death seem more meaningful and make the nothing personal kid moment a little less jarring.

>Just make peace with the White Walkers bro!

This dude's a dumbass.

In the book, they are far more fascinating! Not this Freddy Kruger shit. They are beautiful and unfathomable. The Night's King, a Stark and 13th Lord Commander of the Wall falls in love with one.

A very Jewy thing to say indeed.

youtube.com/watch?v=tOlh-g2dxrI

I think this sums it up pretty well.

Theon's death wasn't totally meaningless. His desperate attempt/suicide would have made the Night King feel confident that they were out of plans and out of tricks, as their last man cried and attempted a kamikaze charge.

So they create the Walkers as a weapon against humanity and... and that's all we find out about them right? I didn't watch the show cause I cringe too much watching it past s4 and only skim wikipedia or some clips on YT. Any substantial info given about the WW beyond what I described? I wanted that Night King prick to at least talk once before he croaked.

The whole episode was a miserable affair with the humans doing nothing but losing and only winning on a fucking fluke. The books suggest a war against the Walker, whilst very difficult, won't be so one sided with the wights not being too OP, the humans using some smart tactics as well as dragonglass, fire, etc. in intelligent ways, and there's a cool fan theory the wights stop functioning during daylight, hence humans were able to go around killing as many as they could during the limited day hours and thus stemming the tide constantly.

to show that we can stop global warming if we cooperate

They couldn't even get this right, though. The consequences should have been unavoidable to absolutely every character. It's the whole point of the threat they've been building up the entire time.

Brainlets don't understand that this is just subversion within subversion.

The wights will come back halfway into episode 5 just as people get fully fooled into thinking that Cersei is the big bad.

>Any substantial info given about the WW beyond what I described? I wanted that Night King prick to at least talk once before he croaked.
No, they stopped giving a shit after season 2 and saw that everyone ate their crap regardless

Same. I watched it in a bar and everyone stood up and clapped afterwards. We were all literally shaking. This was groundbreaking stuff. My daughter ACTUALLY looked up at me and said "daddy, that girl is amazing... but why did you bring to this bar, I'm not even allowed in here..." Then everyone laughed and we turned into a rocket and blasted out of there. I'll never forget it.

The little girls name is Arya as in Aryan. A foreign horde was defeated by an aryan maiden. White wins again.

The long night was the friends we made along the way.

>Wouldn't it of
holy shit, shut the fuck up retard

No. It was Season 3 when the idiots saw how much everyone loved the red wedding and thought it was because of the shock value, spectacle, and because it subverted peoples expectations. The kept trying to do that from that point onward, destroying characters, plot lines and eventually the entire show in the process. And it didn't really take effect until Season 5, probably because they were already filming Season 4 while 3 was airing.

Only the dead know peace from this subversion

Bran and Gendry are so handsome.

He might be right. Who built the Wall? Why the WW let some people live and kill others? What were those spiral signs?
We'll never know.

>Who built the Wall?
>We'll never know.
Are you retarded?

>What is chainmail

It would've been cool if they fought Jahn Snah 1v1

Turn off your brain and have sex lmao

Tid bit about school. He's here for your money. He got it.

Bran the Builder you fucking moron

they're the baddies

>To the discerning eye it was obvious GoT had major problems. It actually started in season 2 and has grown progressively worse. I think we will see this show hit depths none of us are prepared for.
Someone wrote this in another thread (which is already closed). Anybody an idea what this user might be referring to with the major problems discernable from season 2 onwards?

A shittier version of Death Knights from warcraft

And the name of your daughter? Albert Einstein.

No, the books are fucking trash as well

I got a feeling that there's something missing with this. It ended too soon. Like either

A:They really are dumb and CorSay and (you)Ron are the final bosses

B: A bit less dumb and Dany becomes a villain and Jon has to stab her resulting in mass normie melt down

C:They are pretty alright and Bran becomes the NK somehow. Or he himself raises the dead last episode

There's something incredibly fishy with Bran. I refuse to believe they were so stupid as to just forget about him entirely last episode during the battle, he HAD to have been doing something of worth. And now that the "great war" is over he's practically fucking useless, so they have to be doing something with him.

too bad D&D didn't understand that

>"I didn't die for this shit, fuck hollywood hacks"

>books are trash
They really fucking are.
D&D deserve all the hate they get over this episode and the last few seasons, but holy hell if GRRM isn't an awful writer.
I once believed his only redeeming trait as a writer was his ability to weave complex Machivellian plots, but given how little D&D were actually given to go on and given how defensive and angry he gets about finishing the books, it's clear he basically doesn't know what he's doing.

>could have used the crows as recon to suss out how close the ww were for the catapults instead of blindly sending the Muslims out.
>doesn't do it

>could have used them to drop ship Arya onto the NK.
>makes her ninja sprint and teleport instead

really what's the point of this dudes powers?

if he's a Yea Forums user and doesn't give any explanation for his argument, it's a 90% certainty he's just being contrarian who has a boner for the first season or movie of most franchises
all three of the first seasons were basically the same in quality, all of them had quips and soft core porn and surprises; it's from season 4 and onwards it really starts getting bad

That sucks.
