For me it was the Sand Snake fight vs Bronn and Jaime.
Pinpoint the moment Game of Thrones Died for you
Stannis killing his daughter
this
fuck D&D
killing off a character because they fail to understand him
easy, when ghost baby killed renly
was the first "magick is real" moment which is so much less interesting than it was as a strictly political intrigue thriller
cringe
wrong. it was still worth it because like medieval times, people still believed in legends and superstitions. things that couldn't be explained and no one else saw so you just kept it to yourself.
GoT handled the magic with great restraint in the first 4 seasons. it's entirely unlike LOTR in that regard.
something as simple as a red comet held such meaning as astronomical events always did in history and pre-history
I understand your perspective but I disagree. Just as said, magic was restrained in the first couple of seasons, thus adding to the atmosphere of mysticism behind every character's beliefs. I don't think the plot of capturing a wight and then bringing it to Cersei should have happened. Cersei should have gone to her grave not believing in fairy tales such as the white walkers.
you disagree with me about when the show died for me, and how in the fuck is ghost assassin baby who insta kills the most relevant political figure of the time a "restrained" use of magic
because it was a single use. If that type of magic were introduced now, it would become a central plot point akin to how the Cersei and crew worked to counter dragons.
I hated how they turned the Faceless Men into a fucking joke training arc
yes. i think the best instance of this is when jaqen changed his face. they didn't do a fast cut. he just turned away, slightly used his hand to do something, and he turned back as a different man. the music was this slight creepy mystic leitmotif. it was great.
What was the first stupid thing that happened in Season 5? I think it was Littlefinger sending Sansa off to the Boltons. It completely shit on her character arc, so I'll go with that.
Tyrion's dialogue
>i put an arrow through his heart
the bad pussy line
Probably the whole Bravos faceless men arc with Arya
Because Renly was less politically relevant than you think
When there was no Strong Belwas
littlefinger giving sansa to boltons. Showed me they didnt know how to write a plot where Sansa becomes slightly evil and competent.
To this day they haven't been able to give her something intelligent to do on her own.
when the dialogue turned American and characters suddenly unlocked fast travel.
Battle of the bastards was the last good fight, literally everything after is just pure dogshit.
I mean bringing a fucking wight to Cersei lol.
And why is everyone fine with killing white walkers? I thought they were meant to instil absolute dread in people, and send them either fleeing or fainting. but its just a zombie flick now where everyone is just adept and accustomed to killing the dead.
I also hate how every fucking scene is one of the main characters surrounded or pinned down by a huge horde of dead, only for the scene to switch to something else, then it switches back to them and they are unharmed with only a few dead attacking them.It is fucking cringe.
fpbp /thread
it was when season 5

naw its fine we beat them first try
The end of season 4 when they showed Sansa in a edgy black raven themed outfit to show how much she changed. Sure, it's not as bad as a lot if other shit in later seasons, bit that scene felt like a 14 year old wrote it "omg she has raven theme and black becuz like her heart its black so edgy xD". It was so cringe and a precursor of the showrunners tagging everything up and emblematic of the direction towards cringiness
blessed image
They depict these characters as badasses when in the books their ascension to power also comes at huge costs. For instance Arya becoming a killer. On the show, she's badass anime girl that need no emotions. In the books, she's going back and forth from being a potent killer to a psychopath out of touch with herself. Where are those character nuances? Daenerys has been an obnoxious QUEEN SLAY for 6 seasons now. And when she finally gets a moment of doubt, the tumblrina fanbase goes in public uproar. I don't blame them because they've been fed that shit for so many years, they probably thought that's what the story was now.
This to be honest, all of the previous uses of magic or the supernatural were restrained in nature. When they brought in the rage zombie wights, retarded training scenes for the faceless men it coincided perfectly with the showrunners running out of bookmaterial to adapt. At least the fucking dragons had a shitload of foreshadowing before they let their destructive potential run loose, all fucking accounts of dragons mention them as nigh unstoppable terror beast up until this and last season where they get inexplicably insta-gibbed by retarded events (Night King was somewhat explainable, but I doubt this ass pull is going to be used in the books, the scorpio/ballista scene was straight up insulting).
Every episode after season 3
White Walkers =/= winter
'Winter is coming' is about being prepared for worse things in the future, not a specific warning about a supernatural threat.
I'm watching that right now. Her mother suddenly giving a shit is the worst part
>55,555,555
>post count has nearly doubled since then
where does the time go
When it was a contemporary normalfag TV show based on some genre fiction trash
When will the jannys ban this shit
This.
the dumb blonde bitch using a body double when being shamed
When Tywin Lannister died.
The show went to shit when Barristan died like a bitch
20 good men
Why the fuck did they even have that character return and show up in Yunkai just to immediately get 360noscope'd?
Because he isn't dead in the book
this was my moment but a friend of mine told me that this was one of the things GRRM confirmed that would happen in the books, I don't know if it is true but Melisandre is a snake so I don't know what to think
>edward norton cameos as darkstar
>mfw show Dorne
But why did they cast him black?
When Arya killed the night king.
Otherwise when Stannis got unfairly cucked.
Bad pussy
A bunch of normal fags told me to watch this great show called game of thrones
If memory serves, when it comes to Stannis, they already made a lot of little deviations from the original material before this happened. Stannis from the book doing this would make no sense at all, at least from my reading memory.
It's hard to keep track of these fuckups, I wouldn't even know how to rank these from bad to godawful:
>sand sneks/bad pusy
>DUAL WIELDING DABID!
>Stannis burning his daughter
>entire High Septon arc
>Arya recovering from multiple belly stabs followed by sever diving after one day, becoming terminator super assassin by mopping the floor and washing carcasses
>HELP ME SHANSHA
>Euron's teleporting fleet
>"teh rape, Sansa"
>"Sansa is the smartest person I know"
>the dothraki charge into oblivion
>Jon Snow *shouts at ice dragon
>Arya *teleports behind you* nothin personnel
>white walkers and knight king downgraded to evil of the week/sidequest
>Jaime pityfucking Brienne
What did I left out?
>>Jaime pityfucking Brienne
They did that? Motherfuckers
last episode, yeah
So she survived a fight against the Hound and now she fucked Jaime. I'm glad I stopped watching this trash.
All those anti-men lines
The Somewhat Lengthy Night
that moment in season 7 when i realized that the reason LF was sitting around in Winterfell like a lame duck was that he's going to get YASS QUEEN'd.
TThat is a coonfusion D&D made annd later tried to pin on georgea. Martin told them that Shirren was burned, wich is apretty obvious by reading the books, melissandre is going to burn her to ressurect jon snow behind stanni's back. Martin said "shirren gets burned"", D&D heard "Stannis burnns shirren"". There is aa massive difference between the two, and it was the first time it dawned on a lot of people that the producers fundamentaly didint understand many of the characters. The later seasons connfirmed all suspicions. They never liked stannis as a character because his personality would be abhorent to pampered hollywood rich boys, you could notice them doing weird shit to his story, like him humping mel (?), him directly ordering the death of renly (when in the books, he never knew what mel was doing, he simply assumed she was going to use some sort of magic to make him change ahis mind), the scene were for some reason he kept a room full of aborted babies (what the hell was that). How they butchered all his good moments ( the letter from castle black, sam speech about "the king who cared", them willfully refusing to use the STANNIS STANNNIS STANNIS line on the wall). These are just some, practicaly all his scenes they changed little things, tweaked the character to make him as ulikable as possible. And thi was at the same time they start doing the GURLL POWER stuff that resulted in bad pussy plotline and the like.
The storyline they presented in the show is physicaly impossible in the books, both Shireen and Brienne are thousands of kilometers away from him, so everyone was appaled at how much they changed the story in exchange for gurl power viewership;
i bet even davos could type better without his fingers than me on this stupid iphone, jesu christ
It's literally about the supernatural event that comes with it. Read the fucking books.
Seasons 5 and 6 were where it went downhill, but I remember saying "oh for fuck's sake" out loud in s7 when Sam cured Jorah's greyscale in a single scene. "It's incurable! No, hang on, just found a cure in this book nobody else bothered to check."
Battle of winter fell. Yea s7 was hot steaming shit, but I had hope. I kept hoping for some half decent game of thrones story with the magic and all that. Nope, bow was so bad, I just stopped caring. Sure I will watch the final episodes. But it’s a joke now. There is no hope anymore, not even a glimmer.
Sean Bean dying.
Once the source material was used up (End of season 4).
I thought it ended at season 6?
Fuck off i hate reading books
They were staying pretty true to the books until season 5 started. That's when things took a hard turn in to shit, but the HBO audience didn't notice so more shit was served to them for seasons 6-8.
For me it was actually the 20 good men scene
It had been dying long before that, but that was the finisher
finger in the bum
ah fuck... GoT went to shit with season 2 but that killed it along the san snaeks
this. fucking hacks.
>was the first "magick is real"
I thought the opening scene with the wight was the first scene like that
this or Karl fooking Tanner, the legend of Gin Alley
This.
Sand Sneks were fucking retarded, but Shireen’s death marked where they clearly missed the point entirely.
Nah, it was somewhere around season 5. The writing and pacing just started to feel different. Started to feel very, flat.
The real answer is when bran wasn't in the show for a whole season
If that didnt inform you that something was going deeply wrong with the production of the show what else could
Came here to post this. Stannis' character got changed so much he was no longer recognizable, and without Stannis what the fuck do I have to keep me attached?
'ere I am, drinking out the skull of Lord Commander Mormont
'ate the Watch
'ate the Watchmen
Fuck the bitches
Simple as
Cat setting jamie free.
dumb stannis fan tries to cope, fails
Stannis burning Shireen pissed me off but blowing up the Septon despite having a whole season about how the church can't be touched because the plebs would revolt, and nothing then happening, was the point of no return.
>mfw its been years and still hurts so fucking bad
The first time my confidence in the show wavered was S7E6
The show lost me at S8E3
However in retrospect S6E8 with "A girl is finally no one" was really the turing point for the shit writing
Even when I was a brainlet pleb I cringed at this song being used
The well ran truly dry after s6, however the end of s4 was when the fanfiction overtook book material.
I’m not sure how much of it is due to their abridgement biting them in the ass and forcing them to hack off further plot lines, and how much of it wasn’t them pandering to the audience they got after the red wedding went viral.
Last episode i watched
>They were staying pretty true to the books until season 5 started.
no they weren't
nigger that was kino right after Jaime lost his hand, pure shock factor
no it wasn't, it was fucking cringe
What was wrong with this? George RR gave D&D the idea.
Shireen is back at Castle Black with Jon and Melisandre in the books, while Stannis is off marching on Winterfell. It's literally impossible for him to burn her.
He didint
The scene where they introduced the Sand Snakes. I remember how awkward and out of place it felt. I remember thinking wow, is this even the same show? I remember there was no music and I was thinking the showrunners must have regretted it and I felt bad for the actresses. The Asian girl redeemed herself in Iron Fist though.
nah, Karl was fucking kino, such a perfect character with so little exposition
The sand snakes were such an absolute fuck up it borders on unbelievable, and given what happened to them I think that’s one of the few mistakes they actually realised they’d made.
The bit where they murdered their cousin in cold blood and then joked about it was, for me, where they went from being in a shit plotline to absolutely detestable as characters in general.
The addition of Karl Tanner doesn't deviate at all from the book storyline. All it does is give a charismatic character for the audience to focus on instead of a bunch of nameless npcs. The Nightswatch going back to Craster's for vengeance is a deviation though as Mance and the Others were closing in on them.
Unwatchable for me after this scene
20 good men and butchering of Stannis character
but yeah that's when it really jumped the shark
I think she was pregnant at the time, hence the double.
Well that makes complete sense when you realize the maesters are there to preserve and keep knowledge/magic a secret. They are not their to teach or do.
Dany racemixing
that's in the books, dildo. you're only supposed to hate stuff D&D came up with b/c they're shit writers.
Thats canon, Cat is just as annoying in the books.
Stannis sounds real fuckin naive.
maybe that's when he dropped the books too. i respect that.
>putting everything you ever loved and cared for before your duty to protect the realm from duplicitous tyrants, traitors, cutthroats, and hordes of undead
Bad King.
When Jaimie and Bronn were announced to be going to Dorne for their escapade. When we got to the scene you are talking about I knew there was no going back and the show became a comedy.
When Oberyn's head exploded I said ok, this show is now bad
When Stannis killed Shireen I quit
The edgy gay sex for no reason in season 1
Wasn't that season 2?
when Jaime murdered his own cousin while captive of the starks in season 2 i knew we were clear out of kino territory
The moment Barristan Selmy died.
the moment jon arryn died.
>the Sand Snake fight vs Bronn and Jaime.
That's about right.
S4 is about where shit started going bad, and the "sand sneks" were, indeed, baaaad.
This was it for me too. Haven't watched since.
The answer is “when Tywin died”. There are no worthwhile arguments to make against this. This is the answer.
s04e10
Looking back this was really an omen of things to come. The already bad decisions only got worse from that point forward.
This. Barristan dying like a bitch, Sand Snakes and the butchery of Tyrion's story all contributed though. desu all of season 5 was a fucking abhorrent train-wreck.The moment I heard Stannis was burning his daughter I quit the show and never looked back. People look at me like I have the plague when I tell them why I stopped watching they view it as an infallible masterpiece.
This was so jarring I assumed it was a joke edit on the file i had torrented at first
How did he survive without an armour?
Can someone please remind me what the sand snakes are?
This but it was ultimately spawned for "20 GOOD MEN!". It established that D&D would pull any contrived reason out of thin air to write whatever they want with total disregard to anything established in the story.
For me it was when Jaime didn't tell Tyrion about Tysha. A fundamental moment in the character development of all 3 Lannister siblings, and it was cut for no good reason.
>How did he survive without an armour?
armour doenst work past s2
It was all downhill from here
For me, it was the Sand Snakes vs Bronn and Jamie. At that point, I couldn't kid myself anymore and I realized that DnD didn't know what the fuck they were doing.
Tyrion killing Shay
It was downhill before that, but Barristan's character assassination was pretty egregious.
I only watched the first season because it was a brand new thing everyone was watching, but I thought it was shit and dropped forever as soon as the first season was over.
seething showlet
When they stabbed the eternal anglo. She even took a swim in a sewage, and no infection or anything?
When people started writing what would make a cool setpiece and amazing scene rather than what would make sense with characters. Joffrey and Khal Drogo death would never happen that way if they were written to be TV material, people drill the idea that it has to be memorable, epic, deep and full of epic shots. Sandsnakes segments made me wonder if the story was even worth watching anymore, this coming from someone who wanted to like them because of Oberyn.
Fpbp
When someone asked me if I'd seen this new show that's OMG MUH VIOLENCE AND MUH SEX 8 years ago.
It died in the womb.
This, too. Pretty much all of season 5 onwards. Fucking pieces of shit.
When Jaime used his LEFT hand to push Bran out the window.
And also the next episode where they decided to make a scene and an entire character around Alfie Allen's dick and his favorite whore.
And also the Jaime vs Ned fight where Jaime looked like he'd never held a sword before.
