It's probably easier to act like girls actually act, like they had to do in the earlier seasons.

Reminder that the NK’s motivation is dumb as fuck and they just gave Sam and Bran a couple of throwaway lines in episode 2 so normalfags wouldn’t wonder after his defeat. There’s no implication throughout the past seasons that he wants to destroy history. It’s not like the white walkers were taking down weirwood trees or destroying libraries and shit. The original three eyed raven in the show also lived in secret, like no one knew of him

What are your thoughts on the consequences for the D&D because of the last episode / season 8 in general?
People have been saying it since season 5 but last episode really should make it clear to everyone that they are not creative enough or just not willing to handle this story. Given time I think the braindead fanboys will slowly realise this episode was really quite bad.

His character arc will be just as meaningless as Jon and Bran’s. It would be poetic justice for him to kill Cersei and the writers can’t let that happen because of muh twists

>The show has been leading up to a confrontation with him since the first scene of the first episode.
Nah. It's been leading up to a confrontation with the Others as a whole since then. The Night King was introduced in Season 4 for the first time and only truly made to be a clear leader in Season 5 - and it was a fucking mistake to simplify an entire civilization into basically just being mindless zombies to a blank slate of a villain whose only goal is "kill everyone lol". D&D are fucking hacks.

I didn't want jon to kill the night king. I wanted the night king to kill every living person on westeros for ignoring the threat he embodies, for being single-minded political faggots or shitty peasants. I wanted these characters to be held accountable for 7 seasons of willful ignorance before they scramble to form some makeshift defence at winterfell at the last fucking minute. I wanted that to be not good enough

Also, they sent a wolf to charge with them. A fucking useless wolf

Jesus christ I forgot about ghost charging with them. The more you think about this episode the more stupid bullshit you uncover

Cersei is as much of a threat as the Umbers at this point

>Has no Lannister Army since they all got burned in the Fields of Fire 2.0

How is she even a threat anymore.

Not like it made a difference.

Some user in another thread was saying that they added Ghost in post production when they realised that they need it for twitter points. Notice how NOBODY acknowledges that it's there.

Dnd will have some retarded reason for why she's ruling literally everything and has a huge army for no reason.

Tryion will want some peace deal or some retarded shit. It's so fucking retarded.

Yeah I know, but still. They planned a completely ineffective cavalry attack. It was dark as fuck, the enemy is a rampaging horde of undead creatures and the Dothraki don't even have effective weapons or armor to fight them.

They were seriously going to hand the army of the dead another 100.000 fresh corpses to add to their ranks. What the FUCK were they thinking?

>Gold Company might fight for her since they hate Targs and never break a contract but are severly outnumbered
Are they though? Dothraki are certainly gone sure, but the mountains of bodies everywhere suggest Dany and the North don't have a great deal of soldiers left. Unless of course the (supposedly empty?) Iron Islands somehow come to the rescue at some point.

>Dorne: Targ Loyalists

>The Westerlands: Lannisters Hometurf, no Standing Army, Tyrion or Jaime are Rightful Heirs of Casterly Rock and should have the Command, also already once sacked by the Unsullied
>The North:Stark Hometurf
>The Iron Islands: Ruled by Euron, only goal was to fuck Cersei, achieved that goal and he''s smart enough not to pick a 10:1 fight

There is no way Cersei can get Support from anywhere

That's honestly how the actors were playing that scene. It's like even they didn't know what their characters were supposed to be doing

>Arya is going to wear Jamie's face and kill Cersei going for a x2 prophecy steal
>Cersei is 'killed' by her brother but not really

The whole strategic setup was pants on head retarded. Whoever came up with it doesn't even video games, let alone history.

Bran is the key character if the WW storyline will be redeemed or not. I really hope that they have much more for him.

don't worry, they're gonna pull some surviving army and an entire fleet out of thin air
>"we still have x number of unsullied who made it"

They'll pull some other armies out of their ass I'm sure. Dario shows up with troops from Mereen, or some smaller houses join their side, or they make the golden company an offer they can't refuse.

It's going to be some shit army ex machina and you know.

The Dothraki charge was stupid, but honestly they'd all become completely useless in the 30 seconds it took the army of the dead to cross the battlefield. Shoulder-to-shoulder corpses as far as the eye could see, with no room for them to do their trademark open field thing. I honestly don't know what the better strategy would be. Would it work to have buzzsaws of cyclical Dothraki cavalry flanks on either side funneling the dead into a wall of unsullied? Seems like that'd be the best way to keep the Dothraki on the move and safer from pileups of the dead, while leaving the dead clustered linearly and vulnerable to continued trebuchets and dragonfire.

You forgot a part where only Dorne can have army

picking off stuff from the flanks and causing them to funnel into a shield wall would have been infinitely better than just smashing face first into a horde of zombies

Why didn't Ser Vardis drop his sword and catch it with his other hand and killed Bronn? If he did that, then he would have won.

What happened to that character anyway?

>Also nobody has PTSD after seeing all their friends ripped apart
Consequences do not exist in Game of Thrones anymore. Remember when Cersei blew up the Sept? Nobody in King's Landing does, nobody gives a fucking shit. She's having what is probably the most unopposed reign any Queen/King has had ever. Remember when Arya completely fucked over the faceless men? They don't. Remember when she literally wiped an entire house of the face off the earth, and then told the witness to tell people about that event? They didn't, it literally hasn't been mentioned once since. Who the fuck is manning the Twins?

ASOIAF is literally a story about consequences. Jon Arryn's death was the initial incident that sent the realm into war, and the consequences of that were still felt seasons later. That's gone now, it's just epic moments with no build-up required, nor any attempt made to deal with the fallout.

It doesn't even matter that it was Arya. Anyone beating this threat, and this quickly would be a fucking travesty. This is utter garbage.

Will Arya impregnate Gendry with her child who will be some kind of super Baratheon Stark master breed who will take over Westeros for eternity?

Now that the Night King is dead, are they going to explore the Land of Always Winter or is it just going where Dorne went?

It really doesn't make any sense. The First Men must have known dragonglass could kill the WW, hence them burying it at the Fist. Why then, were they somehow able to move the Night King all the way back up North and then erect a massive 700ft wall in front, but not able to stab him with a bit of dragonglass? It stands to reason that at some point, the intention was for the WW to be unkillable, or at least the Night King. The fact that they could kill him at all, and that doing so magically also wipes out every single White Walker, and every single Wight is fucking ridiculous and turns this entire thing into a joke.

Yes, ignore all the contrarians who think the books are utter trash because of some minor flaws or otherwise. They're definitely worth reading especially for a show watcher.

Should have used the trenches to funnel the dead into choke points where they get blocked by the unsullied and decimated by northern archers. While the Dothraki are doing flanking maneuvers with horse archers to distract the flow from the forward movement, baiting groups to the sides and away from the throng that can be dealt with. Also catapults protected by trenches and supplied with a steady flow of incendiary ammunition.

There should be a public vote to see if this episode was good or not. A non-binding referendum.

Dont forget The Mountain, Euron and Qyburn. All within seconds of one another.

Your brain has to be shit to not realize Arya is gonna faceless herself as the Mountain and kill Cersei.

Just one question: can you see the user names of those who upvoted your video?
Because my YT username is my actual name as well

I think that the worst part is that the dummies are saying
>HUR DUR IT WAS NEVER ABOUT ZOMBIES ITS CALLED GAME OF THRONES

Thats wrong because the entire point of the show was that it doesnt matter who sits the throne because doomsday is approaching and humanity could die. Its not like there is any political intrigue left since season 4 anyways. Why is Cersei allowed to sit on the iron crown, Dorne still has their armies. What about the vale, asha, the reach? When they see that 2 dragons are approaching, they remember what happened to the last ancient house that defied 3 dragons. What about the peasants, there is no political intrigue left because dumb and dumber sacrificed it for the magic zombies. But now they killed that off in episode 3 so I guess, Cersei is the main baddy now?

>only way for a female protagonist to win is by cheating
why is this becoming a cliche?

Lmao, don't think about the story nerd. Just enjoy the spectacle incel.

Do Blackfyre's even exist in the show?

Is Stannis gonna AGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH in The Winds of Winter, a fantasy novel in the A Song of Ice and Fire series by author George R R Martin?

Thank goodness he's still alive. He didn't appear in the third episode at all (he should've been next to Davos). There's a chance he's gonna make it but Cersei will probably explode a few buildings and Euron or the mercs will raid a few ships so it's not that likely

presumably the Tyrells just put all their troops outside the walls to get slaughtered.

Yeah. It's massively dampened rewatchability(?) because it was just "lol that's the end of all that and some character arcs" but it was done in a shit way. Jorahs arc was fine. But mellisendre and Beric was lame.

All that mystery around some fire god throughout the seasons and it bowed down to "lol he dead for real now coz he saved u arya so u can kill NK before he does anything of interest".

Its blatently obvious theyve written everything for season 8 so quickly to le tie things up.

Episode 1 and 2 were a joke and should have been Season 7 episodes. 1 and 2 and 3 should have focused on Night King and Bran. But now we know its just Night King does what he does because he wants to delete browser history. The end. Lol.

now would honestly be the perfect time for GRRM to announce a release date for TWOW

People were willing to overlook a lot of the faults of the last few seasons in the hopes that the ending would make up for it.
It didn't.

>Hey the guys who made HBO millions want to work with you
>"No they're shit at writing"
You really think the industry cares about quality? As long as money is being made, nobody cares about quality.

Unironically Bronn's castle looked better than Disney's logo Highgarden for offensive purposes

Another bookfag here. I was a bit worried that they were spoiling the main plotline with the show, no matter how shitty it became. Last episode cemented the fact that they have NO idea how the story will unfold, which ironically has reignited my hype for the new books. I'm pretty confident WoW will release late 2019/early 2020, but I just hope GRRM can finish the last one before he dies.

any day now...

Fucking hipsters always think everything that is popular is shit. If the show never came out and ASoIaF wouldn't be well known, you would've lauded it as the best fantasy novels ever.

Reality is ASOIAF are good with a few minor flaws here and there that pale in comparison with how shitty it's been adapted in show version

"The Night King"

Can anyone actually explain to me, from start to finish, what the FUCK the faceless man plot arc was? It felt like they were trying something half decent, albeit boring in Season 5, and then when people didn't respond positively to that, they just abandoned ship and turned it into something nonsensical.
Here's what I got:
>Season 5:
>Arya joins the faceless men and begins her training, with The Waif and Jaqen as her two mentors
>They set a number of tests to check her devotion to being no one, however she fails these, choosing to go after Meryn Trant for personal reasons
>"Jaqen" dies to pay for the life Arya stole, and then when Arya cries over his death, "The Waif" switches her face to his to reveal to Arya that neither of them are real people, just personas worn by the faceless men and that Arya may not have even been speaking to the same individual twice through this entire story, just different faceless men playing the same role. This is reinforced by Arya pulling the faces of Jaqen, ending on her own face.
>Arya is then blinded, presumably as a cost of having her identity taken by the faceless men(?) to pay for her mistakes
The last scene still leaves me a little unsure on what the meaning of Arya's face being there is, but it seems pretty consistent, but then I have no fucking clue what happened in Season 6. It seems like they decided to go back on The Waif and Jaqen just being personas worn by faceless men and treat them both like actual characters, the former of which is a Terminator who wants to kill Arya and Jaqen trains her but then at the end lets her kill the Waif and seems happy that she is not "no one" and then allows her to literally take a bunch of masks and fuck off and go around killing people at random for her revenge. What the fuck, this doesn't make any god damn sense?

I understand discussing what happened in the latest episode in this thread without spoiler tags, but these other threads where they say ARYA KILLS NIGHT KING in the literal thread topic seems pretty spoily to me. What constitutes a spoiler at this point?

>gurm

just let it go user

yeah i donno. best ayra was the comfy arya + hound travel scenes.

how is this shit not mary sue

wasnt arya supposed to make a choice between her identity or FM training

yet she gets to keep both with no consequences?

Don't worry. If you see those posts but haven't seen the episode, you'll just think it's an absurd joke.

>because doomsday is approaching and humanity could die
I guess they really overestimated them huh? :^) White Walkers? More like White Males

The only thing I liked so far is this

youtube.com/watch?v=fJeMwHTFxjE

when Littlefinger makes a return. If either of those to characters ever meant anything to the plot, they would be co-conspirators playing both sides.

Wouldn't it be a smart move if the NK hust flew over the ocean while letting his army march to winterfell so he can surprise buttfuck the entire world? He could just create a second army coming from the east all by himself while the rest of his army comes from the north. All that stopped him from doing that was his inability to swim, but he got a fucking dragon.

There is NO CHANCE LF makes a return, none at all.

Euron can summon the drowned god. He'll butcher half the cast.

I saw Jaqen's statement that Arya was now no one as a test. He knows about her funny little list, and that she will never truly be no one until it is done. Arya countering with her statement tha she is Arya Stark was her admitting that she could not let go. If Arya had agreed to Jaqen's statement, even if she managed to lie to Jaqen, he would have killed her. Jaqen pretty much carte blanche to go and finish the list to sever ties with Westeros. I also happen to believe that there are Faceless Men watching her to make sure she returns once Arya finishes.

Sansa and the Hound is more of a patrician ship but the writers basically forgot about it

This is what I thought was going to happen. That would have been kino. Sansa and Tyrion kill themselves right as Arya saves the day/night.

the episode is great and anyone beside me and a couple others i know fully hated it and that only makes it even better for me

you seen when he walks over fine in former seasons? he's not immune to fire, it simply doesnt even go close to him, so clothing obviously wouldnt burn

Putting aside the Dothraki, trebuchets, and Arya being an anime character, I like season 8 far more than season 7.

I believe the writers took the criticism to heart. The first three episodes of this season were far more character driven, the characters made sense, no-one was teleported, the atmosphere was decent. They're trying, it shows.

It's still not at the height of GoT but amongst all criticism a point needs to be made that it's not as bad as season 7. They're trying. They're really trying.

Even Arya and the Hound is more likely right now desu

Why is Set Jorah racist? Why did he genocide the Dothraki before he died ? Did he know he was going to die and not want Dany to be alone with many men of colour?

Remember when Sansa let Rickon die?
Remember when Bran let Theon die?
Remember when Littlefinger died when he knew he was in danger for 6 episodes straight?
Remember when Bran sat there and did nothing?

Are you fucking for real dude, piss off

He's no doubt seen it, he's just saying he doesn't have time because he wants to avoid fielding questions on it because he obviously thinks it's gone to the dogs, or the direwolves.

Few episodes later, zero fucking strategy. Written and directed by the same people. HOW

user, we both know that rumor is bullshit. GRRM literally said that after Fire and Blood he will not write anything until TWOW is released. He's not working on a game.

I am serious. Season 7 was an abortion, one that I thoroughly disliked. Season 8 makes me care about some characters again, and I haven't seen flagrant disregard for logic, before Winterfell's siege that is. And even then they tried, even though some parts are clearly retarded.

Look I'm no fan of GoT. But there is a upping in quality in this season beginnings. The characters made sense. They did things that were vaguely expected of them. I really think the writers, though thoroughly incompetent, are trying far more than season 7.

Jamie didn't bother me. The red haired woman more, and I don't condone Arya anime moment. But it's not still as bad as season 7.

I find it funny how casuals ate it up like the greatest episode in television history. Now that the reviews of book fans and their favorite theory youtubers come out the general opinion becomes less and less positive by the hour... fuck I hate normies...

It's just sexist incels bombing the ratings.

For me the perception of things changes as more time passes, even if I don't hear other people's opinion on them in that time. The biggest factor is sleeping for the first time after watching a show episode/movie, it's probably just due to biology of the brain processing information during sleep.
Things that seemed okay at first can seem retarded the next day, or movies that seem bad/boring, actually end up being pretty memorable afterwards. Biggest example for the second scenario I can think of is VVitch.

I felt that this episode was going full retard as I was watching it, though, so not sure if this applies here

the major house of an area doesnt do shit anyway, the minor houses can do their stuff on their own

Should used the bolton shields to arm the Unsullied, not using a loose formation with fucking bucklers. The dothraki could have strafed the fucking WW, there's only 99~ of them and thousand of dothraki. Even if each WW solos 200 dothraki each like some anime character, they are trained horse archers. Plenty of opening to get smothered with dragonglass arrows. Only 1 needs to find its mark.

I can't believe they would have actual military tactics and strategy and then throw it all in the bin in this ep. Just because they're zombies doesn't make every tactic ineffective. If anything they're easier on some front. They operate like an MMO monster. You could fucking aggro and kite them with cavalry, split chunks of undead off the main line and then do drivebys. Dothraki can do this while kiting too.

I like how he was body blocking to sacrifice himself, while in horrible shape...
