What's the point of all the characters? Being there and doing some things

You know how the DM introduces this really cool NPC but the party goes into this way too dangerous quest and the NPC gets killed and all the lore the DM had planned goes to shit but he can't retcon it because the players would call him out on his bullshit?

>it's literally this

To save Arya again so she could kill the Night King. The real question is what was the point of the Brotherhood Without Banners?

his voice is cool

To be based

He should have killed the NK

D&D are hacks

Beric was supposed to be an actual living miracle and an ideal of good in a hostile environment. Here was a man that lived only to protect the weak and fight evil, and could never actually die. He was a martyr and hero which was in contrast to the shitty rulers at the time. He forgot about his lands and bride and lived only to serve the weak as a rogue knight, again in contrast to the greedy nobles which only thought of themselves. He was there to also give the audience a hint that there is such a thing as a higher power and that magic exists. Beric was an instrument of good and made many commoners believe in his ideals and were inspired to be like him.

He was a true paladin. A lawful good character in a neutral evil campaign.

In the books he gives up his life so lady stoneheart can live, lady stoneheart will then give up her life for 1 of her children.

In the show, nothing

He was literally the dopest character on the show and died in the dumbest possible way.

foreshadowing for jon snow resurrection

Why didn't show Berric just pass on his nine lives to The Hound?

Wow... amazing...

Garbage series

Hodor 2.0

To be cool but without spending lots of CGI, they did him dirty tho

Strangest thing is he has MAIN CHARACTER written over him.

>flaming sword
>brought back to life multiple times
>competent all-around
>troubled past

They threw him aside like a literal nobody.

he died early on in the books, the rest is dnd fan fic

Richard Dormer's from my hometown. Good actor.

Imagine if Berric was the actual savior and Stannis or Jon were the frauds all along. It would be a much more interesting series.

Paladins can fall, but can one rise?

To be fair he was a good character to latch onto paired with a great actor.

D&D did'nt like Lady Stoneheart so they thought they could do something else with him. Then they realized that they're hacks and threw the towel to Arya.

Block a doorway so Arya can be the hero and act bored.

To deliver the best fight in the show.

Lady Stoneheart is going to kill the entire watch not the Freys like everyone thinks. She is the "Girl in Grey" Mel sees in her vision.

Unironically my favourite character in the series,

to save arya. same with jon

Seems to be a classical D&D problem. They also clearly could not plan a single season ahead no matter what they say now which lead to pointless arcs and characters.

Boy if only there were a show about a guy with a flaming sword saving the world in a frozen wasteland.

FUUCCK this show was cool

I'll give him one thing. The way he spins his sword is pretty a e s t h e t i c.

This

What the fuck

If you can be brought back from death because the lord of light deems you important enough, what's the point of bringing someone back just so they can save a more important person's life? Why wouldn't he just bring the more important person back when they died and cut out the middle man? Why did they fuck up the death of one of the most mysterious and interesting characters in the show?

abandoned fire god/religious resurgence arc

Remember Throros? He also got a shitty death.

They really had no idea what to do with these two characters, I guess.

Because she can't be directly resurrected by the Lord himself. Someone has to pray for her.

I just wanted an evil brotherhood without banners arc like the books damnit

I might buy that if Melisandre wasn't a few feet away from where Arya would have died. It's revealed then and there that she knows the role Arya is supposed to play in this AND she revived Jon so we know she's capable of doing it

fuck man just look at the detail of the armors and the directing of this fight. everything has looked so cheap past season 4. compare this shit to the horror show that was the sand snakes "fight"

Meli wouldn't be able to resurrect Arya if they don't retrieve her corpse. And with no Beric or Sandor to go after her, who knows if anyone would even have noticed where she was.

He inspired me to create a brass Dragonborn character that gets naked and lights himself on fire whenever entering 1v1 combat.

FUCK. I fucking hated how the flaming sword legend died just like that.

You could say that about half the characters in the show. the books haven't revealed the point of littlefinger, varys, melisandre, the NK, Stannis, so the showrunners don't know and their character arcs are really disappointing.
