DAILY REMINDER THAT THIS WILL ALWAYS BE HOW GAME OF THRONES ENDED AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT

Arya didn't stab him in the neck though.

right before i brought the dagger down he shouted
>WAIT! WAIT!
they don't write that part in the scripts, about how they all shit themselves. he coulda lingered on the edge of the battle with all the other smart white walkers. and today, his ice queen would be making him miserable, his wights would be ingrates, and he'd be waking up three times in the middle of winter to steal a baby

Yeah almost like he tricked them into doing an ending this unsatisfying and disappointing so that anything he shat out in his books would be treated as a work of art and restoration of the name and pride of the franchise.

The books will be very different, too many plotlines went in completely opposite directions, too many other important players. If anything, I'm glad that the show devolved into such shitfest that I can mentally disregard it entirely as a tumblr fanfic.

Armor stopped working since then.

>daily reminder this heapin pile of dogshit ended in the most retardedly retarded way possible
Yes user, this will be Lost all over again, only worse. Quite literally NOTHING had meaning. Bran was useless, the nk was pointless and useless, the entirety of the north was full of complete airheads.

Let be real, they goofed long time ago by waiting until the very last season to do anything with ice niggers. The fat man still has 2, maybe even 3 novels (assuming diabetes doesn't get him first) to unravel the Others Invasion, which is as long as the War of Five Kings took. The showrunners, on the other hand, suddenly realised that they have 6 episodes to wrap up what was meant to be a long, bloody march of walkers across Westeros, among all other plotlines, so they decided to put all their eggs into one episode that conclusively gets them out of this horseshit, hoping that expensive spectacle will blind normies enough to the sheer retardation of storytelling.

Could have left the Nightking the enemy looming over a united kingdom after the end. All is well in the seven kingdoms but winter is coming. And it'll be a long winter. Cut to a fully manned and well equipped wall with northern lights on the horizon and ice fog obscuring the forest.

There was no need to fight or kill the Nightking at all.

What in the actual fuck was the point, then?

It's the only way they really could end it in a satisfying way, at least narratively, other than the WW actually winning and wiping out everyone. But since they had to film the le epique Wall breaking scene in the last episode, which I'll admit did shook me and I did enjoy, there was no way to stop them other than a battle.

It should have been the final episode though, at King's Landing, a combined force of Southerners and Northerners as the NK simply bypassed fortified Winterfell and ravaged the rest of the North and South on his way straight to King's Landing, forcing the Winterfell defenders to break siege and try to relieve King's Landing, providing the setting for a climactic finale in which dozens of main characters die and perhaps some le quirky magic tech produced by that weird court wizard dude manages to drive the NK/WW back, but only temporarily and at leaving the capital and armies absolutely devastated and borderline annihilated.

It was Valyrian steel dagger.

And armor does nothing.

>And armor does nothing.
They don't have real armor thought, the "armor" beings to disintegrate in the same frame the dagger hits it, even before NK himself clearly is falling apart

Imagine being the Night King in that scene and having to be all like "damn, Maisie, you fuckin' fine, all sexy with your tight body and horrific ayyyy monster face. I would let you stab me, both my character and the real me." when all he really wants to do is convert another baby boy from Craster's in the Land of Always Winter. Like seriously imagine having to be the Night King and grab Arya by the throat while she flaunts that disgusting body in front of you, the favorable lighting barely concealing her bong genes and goblin face, and just stand there, take after take, hour after hour, while she perfected that jump. Not only having to tolerate her monstrous fucking visage but her haughty attitude as everyone on set tells her she's STILL GOT IT and DAMN, ARYA FIGHTS LIKE THAT?? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and touch her mannish fucking gremlin face that contorts into types of grimaces you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been fucking nothing but a healthy diet of wildling female Wights and later alleged Benjen Stark for your ENTIRE CAREER coming straight out of the tundras of the far North. You've never even seen anything this fucking disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the sweat that's breaking out on her dimpled stomach as she sucks it in to writhe it suggestively at you, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to get paid to stand there and revel in her "exquisite (for that is what she calls herself)" beauty, the beauty she worked so hard for with personal trainers in the previous months. And then the director calls for another take, and you know you could kill every single person in this room before Theon could start his charge, but you stand there and endure, because you're the fucking Night King. You're not going to lose your future capeshit career over this. Just bear it. Get stabbed and bear it.

It protected a White Walker when a child of the forest stabbed him with an obsidian spear.

A relatively small change, but it makes much more sense.

Man I fucking love this pasta.

They didn't even need an entire army. They could have just had 100 people with dragon glass arrows and one of Dannys dragons outfitted and strapped up with dragon glass spikes on its tail to kill the undead dragon. The archers also could have easily killed the dragon and the Night King with volleys of dragon glass.

You have to kill someone to wear their face.

would this trick have worked unless he was besides an weirwood tree?

Bruh, can you even imagine how the fight against Cersei and Euron will go down? The worst is yet to come.

Based Maisie

It's almost like they can decide how many episodes they want to make or something.

Personally I was hoping Ghost would kill the Night King. He's not killed by a human at all, but a loyal doggo.

Nope pretty sure if Jon had killed the night king everybody would have been cool with it

What does GURM have to do with Dabid's creation?

It'd still have been generic shit but it certainly would have been a lot more satisfying to the audience since it'd serve as payoff for his character arc and the whole prophesied chosen one thing.

Arya killing him is not the main problem. While it was cringey and could've been done literally anyone else in an infinite amount of better ways, it is still forgivable compared to the more egregious problem created, in that the major conflict has been ended too soon. As many people have already pointed out, this was the main course, what we've had built up for 8 years and seasons from the first first scene of the series. And now, in one battle with very little actual losses, it's over.

We lost a few characters, we lost (part of) the Wall, and Winterfell (and the north) is damaged. That is all the White Walkers and Night King, after THOUSANDS of years of preparing, have accomplished. Even Bloodraven's death meant nothing since he was immediately replaced by Bran, and NK utterly failed to kill Bran later. This apocalyptic and mysterious threat that has been time and time again hyped up to be devastating to the world, when unleashed, just goes out with a whimper when their big battle finally comes. It's really pathetic too when you consider just how little the heroes lost.

And now we go back to squabbling over a chair. Because, you know, who cares about the fact that Cersei has already been portrayed as foolish for staying behind during the "great war". Now she gets rewarded for it and upgraded to main villain, because apparently there's better stakes there than in the literal battle for ice and fire that ties into the direct theme of the show and books.

Who honestly cares anymore? Cersei isn't awful but it's just Cersei on her own pretty much, Euron is a disgrace in comparison to his book counterpart and has done nothing of note in the show at all other than fuel Cersei's plotline. They rushed out the big main conflict too soon and now we're left with the lamer, far less important one. How the fuck is that supposed to be exciting?

Attached: pepetux.png (446x435, 79K)

Actually, no, the network decides that. Also, the network allocates the budget.

Joke's on you, the NK is still alive and it's Bran. Can't wait to see how stupid you faggots will look after the next episode when they show the NK is still alive lmao. Fucking dumbass.

Who else thinks the WW should have become a huge threat 2 seasons ago? Seems like D&D didnt have enough time to think this out

Could have been good, but his army doesn't need to rest at all so how would you slow him down instead of him just completely kicking everyone's shit in over the course of a few episodes?

Riddick wouldn't have fallen for that trick.

I lost interest in the Others when it was revealed the Night King was just some random guy with metal stuck in his chest. With such a disappointing origin for the White Walkers there was no way their eventual attack on the living would be anything but pathetic.

Whats so important about bran?

>Can't wait to see how stupid you faggots will look after the next episode when they show the NK is still alive lma
I wish. It would have been great if NK basically warged into Bran permanently, but then why would he draw his sword?

You know full well that the writing is a dumpster fire at this point. You're expecting to find diamonds in a river of shit.

>And now we go back to squabbling over a chair.
It's called "Game of THRONES" not "Game of Evil Ice Demons".

He drew his sword because he was already kind of being controlled by Bran at that point and he didn't want it to look suspicious. Have sex.

Wait, the white walker armour is just a part of their skin?

We're talking about Game of Thrones, the TV show. If you want to discuss the novelisation go to;

Yeah exactly. People would still have a bad taste from how the whole battle went down, but at least there'd be some decent conclusion to Jon's entire thing.

People would just be complaining it was a generic, predictable conclusion instead of a series-destroying blunder

Shrimp brained motherfucker. The whites have been set up as the biggest threat to Westeros from S1E1.

i know you're severely low iq and adhd and jumped on the bandwagon of the show late so you have no idea what you're talking about but the show actually begins with the white walkers and establishes them as the threat from the get-go

and then in season 7 they beat you over the head telling you nothing but the war against the dead matters, good on ya being retarded tho

You were too tricky for your own good night king

What is it like being so stupid?

Credit Maisie for being mindful about the buildup.

Is this how it feels to chew 5 gum?

I liked the scene with the dothraki riding into the dark with their flaming weapons going out. that was pure kino for me. but after that the rest seemed pretty shitty to me. That arya scene where she was sneaking around that library with the wights seemed very out of place to me, like I was watching a scene from a shitty horror movie in the middle of some battle scene. Was anyone else actually kind of excited when it looked like all was lost and bran was about to be killed? I thought that would have made for an incredibly intense end to the story. Where maybe a few survivors from the north make it out alive and sprint to the south to tell the story and either just join cersei, or fuck off to essos. idk. But I actually thought that could have been cool. I actually laughed out loud with i saw that goblin jump out of nowhere to kill the NK. It was just such a shock for me from going to wow this is actually going to be an interesting end to the story to, holy fucking shit that was retarded, and it's going to just end up as a standard boring end to the show.

>I liked the scene with the dothraki riding into the dark with their flaming weapons going out. that was pure kino for me
The imagery is kino but if you stop to think about what happened in that scene for even a nanosecond it completely falls apart.

>b...bu...but muh baseless expectations
Looks like you got subverted.

I remember thinking it was kind of stupid when it first happened, but idk a thing about military strategy, so I gave it a pass at the time. Didn't make sense, but the imagery was great.

Would love to hear your argument as to how they're baseless. Especially given how it's obvious you either haven't actually seen the show or you're severely ADHD and have very little memory of the early seasons.

She fumbled her whole training. Most of the seasons she spend as a bum on the street.

well the way the kill went down, the person that would make the most sense to pop out of nowhere to kill him would be arya, but yeah, it was very stupid. It was like something out of a crappy kids cartoon.

I can't believe the writers even decided to go that route with the battle. Jon has talked about the white walkers and the long night since season 2 and he literally did nothing in the final battle. Instead, we get Arya who swoops in at the end and saves the day. This is like Ginny Weasley killing Voldemort at the Battle of Hogwarts.

This was much better than the actual episode.

Her neck should have broke and doesn't this fucker freeze shit by touch?
Arya should have fucking died anyway

TITS OR GTFO

the whole "winter is coming" storyline was just so horribly played out. It was their advertising tag line for years. in the grand scheme of thing it meant absolutely nothing. The "winter" didn't set in for a few episodes to make them suffer or anything before the army actually came or anything. Which would have built at least a little tension and emphasized the "winter".

Did you just unironically shill for some youtube fuccboi?

Did nobody involved speak up and ask "how did she get there?"

>Nothing was ever gonna be good enough and you would complain no matter how they did it.
That's not right, nobody complained about Infinity War and Endgame. Because in those movies,altought some expectations were subverted, everything that happened was a logical conclusion to the shit that happened in the previous movies. Unlike SW and now GoT where they have shat on on everything they've made in the past.

Attached: dabbed in action.webm (892x502, 2.74M)

There seems to be a trend going on right now where creators are afraid to give people the logical conclusion to things, for fear it will be "too predictable" or something.

There's a cynical quality to it. They feel as though they're "too good" to just tell a proper story so they have to employ subversion to make them feel they've written something profound and new. Unfortunately, they lack the talent to do it well.

They're inside their own heads. The fans are in their heads. If you're thinking about how Twitter will react while writing the conclusion to your 8 season show, your head's in the wrong place.

See the behind the scenes interviews where they straight up admit that they went with the Ayra moment primarily because they anticipated it would excite the fans.

BASED MAISE.
Just think, the hacks haven't asked anyone about how the NK should be killed. Anyone in the cast would have come with a better resolution for this shit. All the remaining cast members are invested in this and want to give a proper ending for the work they have done in the last ten years, and D&D betray them and makes them do the dumbest shit you can imagine.
