This the worst case of in universe power scaling in tv history, possibly ever.
The Night King killed a Dragon with one throw of his spear from a standing position yet can't snap the neck of human instantlly? Arya running past hundreds of dead and more than 10 White Walkers with enough time to get a running start and jump above the Night King yet a single dead footsoilder is able to hear her blood dripping onto the floor?
Not only from a storytelling perspective, but a plot one, it's the shittiest of shit deaths. Arya can get the final blow, but don't do it in such a cop out way that not only takes away from a fight with others, but give him a long death scene that means something beyond being instagib'd in 10 seconds.
>Theon has a hidden dagger and stabs the NK with it after being speared, the dagger shatters into ice on impact >Ghost tackles the NK as he’s reaching for the sword, he kills Ghost just as Jon enters the Godswood >Jon 1v1s the NK as white walkers and Bran watch, queue shit of wind blowing past White Walker’s hair >Jon is on the ground about to die when Arya screams and leaps Could have been shot in a day, but I guess extra wolf budget
Jordan King
Wasn't the dragon leaking fire from the left side of it's neck in the last episode? But yeah, that was way more unrealistic than Arya using the skills she's literally been building up for 7 seasons to sneak and run and jump and stab the bad guy with the pointy end.
Blake Allen
Pretty much this. I dont give 2 fucks that Arya killed him honestly i just hate that the way she killed him was so goddamn dumb
Leo Green
the problem is a stark has to kill him and your only options are arya, shansa and bran. it had to be arya and she isnt going to fight with him for 10 minutes cuz thats even more ridiculous
i kept thinking the books would end up differently but im fairly certain arya will kill the NK there also
Carson Morales
It's worse than you describe. Last season showed the NK putting out dragonfire by merely walking by it, yet somehow Arya doesn't get frostbite by having this chilly nigga's hand on her throat.
Connor Bell
That icelance throw was pretty bullshit though already. With that power he could probably rip the doors off the ice wall.
Arya could of maybe sniped him with a dragon glass arrow if that kills ww’s I dunno while Theon distracted him. That would of been more believeable but it’s not exciting for tv.
Dylan Moore
What?
Adrian Carter
Worse than Jobren from Dragon Ball Super? I don't think so. But it's still ridiculous
Chase Thompson
Worse! The white walkers were 30 feet away. Arya ran by them with such a speed a white walker's hair moved. And while running at the speed of sound she jumps several dozen feet with an elevation of 11 to 12 feet.
Cooper Cooper
>Arya ran by them with such a speed a white walker's hair moved. Is that the audience consensus? Because I remember a good thirty seconds between the wind and her leaping
Nathan Bell
There is no NK in the books fool
Daniel Perry
>30 SECONDS OF THIS NINJA RUNNING AND NO ONE RUNS HER DOWN.
Noah Perry
Arya was a priest of the death god at the House of Black and White. Just like Melisandre’s god gave her blessings, the god of death blessed Arya to carry out her mission.
>But why would the death god favor the person who’s going to kill the Night King??
Because the god is a fickle bitch. R’hllor completely fucked over Stannis after he offered his daughter as a sacrifice.
Brandon Roberts
Missandei is a faceless man
Hunter Perez
Is this how GoT cgi usually looks?
Fucking LMAO
Gavin Nguyen
Is that actually from got? Looks terrible, why do mouth breathers live it so much.
Jordan Martin
Yeah, she probably should have died killing him imo. It would have been much more heroic if he stabbed her and she stabbed him and when the ice broke she fell to the floor. Then they could have had a bitter sweet victory over him.
Mason Wood
It was for all Arias flashbacks to play before she was able to make that jump
Carson Turner
The only way it makes sense for Arya to kill him is if he's never aware of her presence. He comes from the shadows using her shadow techniques and stabs him. The second he was aware of her presence it should have been over.
Sebastian Ramirez
She trained for one season, not 7. And that 'training' consisted getting smacked a whole bunch while wearing a blindfold
Oliver Rogers
Bran and Gendry and Rickon and Joffrey and Tommen and Jojen and Dickon and Lancel are so handsome.
Hunter Baker
t. brainlet. sweeping floors is sneak training, yes, and the fact she only did it for half of a season and dropped out, i'm sure, only helped her skills.
Especially since 15min before in that episode she barely sneaked past ~10 WW. I'm sure those hundreds of wights and the fucking night king are on equal levels.
She'd literally been training since the first episode. She was trained in the school of life, and then also got some additional training by some of the most ruthless killers in the entire world. What in the actual fuck are you on about? You think practicing archery with a single arrow after everyone left the courtyard doesn't count as training? Sword play with fucking Syrio Forrel doesn't count? Sneaking around the Red Keep on one foot and chasing cats doesn't count? Being homeless after her father was murdered and having to survive on the streets doesn't count? Having to pretend to be a boy while traveling with a bunch of criminals to take the black doesn't count? Being fucking Tywin Lannister's cup bearer doesn't count? Travelling around with the Hound doesn't count?
Wyatt Thompson
there was literally no point to any of the white walker/bran/etc plotline
Nathan Wilson
even though this is never implied or explained in books or the tv show...let's just assume it's true: lol, "God is Fickle" is the the worst writing explanation i can think of. It's worse than "plot armor", it's more like "plot space marine armor"
I thought he was going to snap Arya's neck as soon as he grabbed her, but that was wishful thinking
Ethan Clark
Only two of these that count are being homeless and travelling with the Hound. The sword training was the bare basics and the Hound did most of her work for her. She lived rough which would definitely toughen a person's resolve, but that's not the same as honing masterclass techniques.
not sure if troll, dumb, or just this much onions.
>She was trained in the school of life, So was everyone else.
>and then also got some additional training by some of the most ruthless killers in the entire world.
This is not just some tough guy. this is something generations have warned against, written stories, even fucking built a giant ice wall to prevent. "LOL, my life has been tough and i know some tough fighters, also I can catch cats" doesn't even capture how imbalanced they are in power.
Jayden Russell
>how imbalanced they are in power She trained to be a fucking assassin/serial killer, not to 1v1 the most powerful supernatural dude in existence. They knew his weakness and she used her stealth skills to get close enough to go in for a kamikaze run and lived. I still don't get what the problem is. She's also pregnant with the last king's grandson and will be sitting on the Iron Throne in a couple episodes. Get over it.
Carson Roberts
his weakness of being stabbed?
Ethan Martin
How to fix this episode: >Brienne fights valiantly and brings down 2 white walker generals before being knocked out >Sansa and Tyrion suicide in the crypts >Brann becomes the new NK >Sansa and Tyrion stay near him behaving just like Slan and Ubik >Everyone else dies >Everyone except for Jamie who comes charging in at the last second into the weirwood tree >In there he sees Brann standing and holding the unconscious Brienne fully naked >Jamie can't believe it >Brann starts touching Brienneand she slowly starts to wake up >Jamie chops off his arm in a futile attempt to stop Brienne from being raped >Brienne is raped and killed in front of Jamie as Brann looks into him and finally has his revenge >Meanwhile Sansa-Slan holding her tears saying "Oh the things we do for love" >Suddenly the Skeleton Knight appears and saves Jamie
Reminder that hot pie is a faceless man and will collect the bounty on aryas head as she is about to instagib Cersei, leaving it up to the hound to fight past his undead brother in cleganebowl. He’ll die as a result of mortal wounds suffered fighting his bro and Jaime will swoop in and kill his cunt sister before naming Brienne commander of the kings guard as he rushes to a final death duel with euron. Euron will use Le Epic Magic Viking Metal horn to kill remaining dragons. Also, Jon will kill Dany, partly out of mercy and partly out of necessity before being killed by euron. Tyrion will have the iron throne with Shansa as queen.
It’s retarded but it’s better than the shit we have now
Grayson Gomez
>being stabbed with Valeryian steel Yeah, that was established a few seasons ago.
Tyler Diaz
Has anyone considered that arya will reveal what she did in the next episode?
Nathan Carter
The faceless man should of casually strolled out and smacked her with the training stick for screaming like she did during a surprise attack.
Jaxon Howard
what difference would that make?
David Diaz
If theon had just saved one arrow for the night king.
Gavin Young
skeleton knight turns out to be ned, guts *ahem* jamie gets crucified.
Liam Perez
answer me these questions three, Yea Forums
>What was the night king's plan all along? Did he just decide that he hated people and wanted to murder them all?
>What is the whole point of Bran's character now? Melissandre fulfilled her purpose and yeeted outta there. What's bran going to do?
>IS this really the end of the white walker story line? They build up for 7 seasons then just fight once without and backstory or explanation as to why the white walkers are doing whatever the fuck they're doing? The white walkers need some characterization don't they other than just being menacing ice zombies?
Dominic Barnes
He was a bad bad.
Nothing. He's going to hibernate somewhere like the old man before him. Unless the writers are actually not hacks and Brann was the NK all along.
Yes this is it. This is a show for kids and normies, stop asking too many questions do you hate women or something.
Ryder Garcia
>Night King is not immune to dragon fire and has tiny trickles of water on him after being hit but still okay >Arya jumps on Viserion stabbing him in the eye but suffering terrible fire damage >Valyrian steel knife is glowing a tiny bit when Jon retrieves it from her body >Jon goes to attack the Night King and stabs him but it doesn't do the job >Jon starts to be strangled by the Night King dropping the dagger >Bran wargs into a dying Theon who everyone has been ignoring, picks up the dagger while Jon is dying >Theon delivers the final blow and dies shortly after Three heads of the dragon, three potential princes who were promised. Humans win by crossing a line of controlling bodies they had not been willing to cross before
Isaiah Adams
>Have him smile like a smug asshole to Dany >Instead of having what at the end of the day was a presumably not evil man the children made into a weapon smile at finally dying Would have been much more interesting to remember he didn't have a choice
Justin Robinson
fuck this shit show of "tv" fuck dabid fuck hbo
Joshua Torres
would have been much better than the shitshow we got
Levi Cooper
please explain how her stealth skills caused the White Walkers hair to move, retard
Joshua Sanchez
The entire episode is bs, wights could’ve scaled the wall to the godswood pretty much immidiately, no one was defending it and the trench wasn’t lit yet
Christopher Turner
Weak bait
Carter Richardson
>from a standing position nigger are you implying that throwing from the prone position would be more viable
Nolan Foster
this scene is now hilariously bad with the added context
Jayden Adams
>the problem is a stark has to kill him Why? Where was that established?
Jamie would've worked. It would've been a good way to tie up his redemption arc by ending the white walker threat by defending the boy who he crippled and set up the war of the throne
Jacob Sanders
>Arya can get the final blow, but don't do it in such a cop out way
I kind of agree. The whole thing was just to give a big audience-pleasing and also "surprise" moment and they succeeded. But thinking back on it it doesn't make sense. I would rather she used a wight or Walker face to get close, that's believable. I guess you could argue it's been done already but people leaping in to save characters at the last minute has been too. Walkers can't be Faceless'd because they explode on death, maybe, then use a wight instead or frankly it's nonsense death magic, maybe Melly told her an ancient trick to do it with Walker ice. I'd rather that handwave then just her running past tons of undead and Walker soldiers totally unnoticed when she couldn't minutes earlier avoid being spotted by a few mooks.
Ryan Sullivan
>Arya running past hundreds of dead and more than 10 white walkers I thought the implication was that she disguised as a white walker to get close
Nicholas Morris
It's ok, the night king warged into arya as he died. He can warg into humans he touches.
Joseph Ortiz
>Bran muttering "it was beautiful" fixed
Adam Martinez
nothing supports this, specially not the ''speed wind'' as she runs past the line of white walkers. Literally anime.
Anthony Jones
I thought it was implied she was going to use one of their faces and I thought it seemed like she was in position with the other white walkers and charged from there
Nicholas Wilson
is it at all possible that bran entered arya and it was him killing NK ?
arya should have frozen solid in his grasp, and NK throwing her down breaking her into a dozen chunks. the normiesphere would have exploded.
Carter Evans
Job is a Stark too faggot, ever heard of his mom?
Henry Ortiz
The worst part is the show spent like 10 minutes of the episode showing Arya narrowly avoiding the brain dead zombies. It was no easy task and she was clearly in danger of being discovered, yet when confronting their leaders absolutely no difficulty is present. The writers of the show really are retarded, they don’t u derstand BASIC story telling, stakes, or having consistent logic within your world’s rules
Oliver Rivera
...what would that change?
Jace Nguyen
Idiots like you need to fuck off
Michael Walker
Have faggot sex
Jonathan Reyes
I do, incel.
Grayson Sanchez
>dude she trained with life experience
lmao. then I would be god amongst the men because I got beaten a lot by my dad when I was a child.
You retard, professional training about a specific domain can't be compared to life experiences. So she became the deadliest assassin by getting beaten up by sticks, hanging around as blind, selling oysters and cückolds?
Adam Robinson
That’s cool, I meant it as a compliment bc choking on dick is rad as fuck
Leo Morales
Nice one user
Isaac Wood
You really should have sex, though
Ethan Barnes
same guy, also are you talking about the dragon? Because the dude is not cgi. Another "I'm so smart" faggot who doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about.
Anthony Ward
I wouldn't want you anywhere near my dick, faggot, no matter what hole of yours.
