So what was the point of seven seasons of political intrigue and fighting if it was all rendered moot by a dragon in 20 minutes? Nothing anyone did up until this point even mattered thanks to her flying disentegration ray. It was so OP it was stupid. Doesn't even shoot fire to make things burn it just explodes stone walls like they were rigged with dynamite, that's not how fire works.
The whole thing felt cheap as hell

Your complaints are 2.5 seasons too late

Books: dragonfire melts stone
TV show: dragonfire blows up stone

I mean, sure, they could have written 80 pages of dialogue, but it's soooo much easier to just write "they fight".

i get that its not normal fire but it just seems way too overpowered after they were fucking useless in the battle of winterfell

>targaryans easily conquer westeros with dragons
>dany also has a dragon

It's really not that much of a stretch. Dragons are OP.

a wyvern

Don't get this complaint. Dragons have always been Chekhov's WMD in the show and books. Historically they fucked up all kinds of shit. Burned down castles, killed thousands, fought each other, etc. It was always a possibility. But it's yet another thing that had tons of setup yet people still complain and say it came out of nowhere...

how is any part of harrenhall still standing when fuckhueg balerion gave it the same treatment

Why would you want to watch a slow, boring, ascent to queendom? Why would you want just another good-guy/bad-guy flick with the queen ruling justly for all eternity?

What is the point? That's boring as shit and stupid as shit. WTF is wrong with you, normie?

harrenhall don't look so good

The White Walkers weren’t the real threat humanity needed to band together and defeat.

It was the Dragon Queen.

Harrenhal was reduced to like 20 percent of it's total size and most of what's left is the outershell. Also King's Landing was mainly wood and brick.

>episode 4: dragons are so weak, they can be killed with just ballista, like how on earth they were used to conquer whole westeros

>episode 5: wth, having dragon is so op

>rendered moot by a dragon in 20 minutes

Dragons are powerful. Are you dumb?

imagine watching a fantasy show and being triggered by the fantasy aspects

whoever said the dragons in GoT and drogon specifically arent like other dragons you are use to reading about and seeing in other fantasy shows and books?

i cant even believe im replying to this sorry shit is this really the best complaint you got?

>Wanting actual drama in a drama show instead of capeshit
You're the Normie here, faggot
This episode was braindead, but then again so is the fanbase of this show

like none of the dragons are even dead in the books it retarded to kill them

>thats not how fire works
Dragon expert, everyone.

>>episode 4: dragons are so weak, they can be killed with just ballista, like how on earth they were used to conquer whole westeros

neither rhaegal or viserion had rider when they were struck. drogon took one arrow while dany was riding the first time they encountered the technology and never again

>>episode 5: wth, having dragon is so op
dany was holding back earlier knowing what she could really do if pressed

seriously cry more

No shit Sherlock, but then didn't have to have an explosion ray instead of fire, thats not a foregone conclusion

jon snow is literally still dead in the books... hurr why even bring him back in the show thats retarded

except drogon is actually the spirit of her child that was drogos so he is better then any other dragon ever

> We don't have reading comprehension

What OP was saying is that she took the city with a single dragon. At the beginning of the show she had 3. All the Dothraki, Unsulied, the north, basically the entire plot leading up to that point played a very insignificant part, she might as well rode the dragons straight to the red keep at season 1.

Fire doesn't fucking blow up stone (not OP)

Shut up, Geralt. No one cares.

utter garbage no tension , just non stop fire exploding .

except the red witch brings him back its already implied seeing as catlyn was brought back
and jet fuel doesnt melt steel beams yet everyone belives it

she wanted to but her advisors kept her from her own impulses plus like her dragon got a lot bigger since then

>fire doesn't work that way
Never thrown a stone from a riverbed in a bonfire, have we?

and if you are reading the same books i read with your implications then you cant be dumb enough to believe the dragons are going to make it either

They were the size of a house cat

To render all the political shenanigans moot. Might makes right.

in season 1 the dragons were the size of cats

BRAVO D&D

Dragon physically can't accomodate enough flammable liquid to spray it out for 20 minutes straight.
So it wasn't gasoline neither napalm. It was magic that looks like fire. Magic can blow stone up.

But not in Season 7.
All that " You need the people to love and respect you " was bullshit. Just land at Kings landing, show your might by burning the Iron fleet and wait for them to hand you over the city.
Dont act like a Maniac after that and the people will turn towards you anyway.
And when some guy from the north comes to you, asking for help against the Undead you go with your full force and people would love you after that even more.

there is no "still", he is, as of this current moment in time, dead.

this episode:
a dragon who you knew coming really does arrive, and destroys the entire fleet, the entire capital, without your defenses doing anything to it.

literally previous episode:
you can sneak up to flying dragons with a fuckin fleet and kill one of them in seconds


at this point the only rule is rule of cool. and it aint even cool

Hindsight's 20/20. Jon convinced her to go north first. Also remember Dany wanted to take out Kings Landing first but Tyrion convinced her to attack Casterly Rock instead

She was not mad enough back then. Also she could be happy back at Essos. She probably would never leave if not for neighboring city-states waging a war on her.

She went really mad after burning down the City:

nobody was riding the one that got killed. are you people really this dumb?

Why did Cleganebowl even need to happen? If the Hound wasn't even there the Mountain would have gotten crushed in the castle collapse anyway, like Cersei did. The Hound died for no reason at all, just like Euron

not only that but in the previous scenes they showed rhaegal was injured and they discussed letting it heal before heading to KL.

was drogon on steroids or something? since when did he get so fucking powerful, he wasn't just flamethrowing he was literally fireblasting everything... i remember a few seasons ago back in meereen when he and the other two dragons were burning ship by ship and now he singlehandedly destroys 10 ships at once tha fuck

eurons entire character basically existed for no reason at all

biggest asspull of the series

Well for one they didn't have the atomic bomb when the war started, as soon as it was ready we dropped it. Dany should have flown straight to kings landing the second her dragons were big enough seasons ago

GAME OVER

yes it was a lot bigger and more powerful and knows better how to use its weapon. it literally sbowed drogon touching ship by ship with its fireball but i guess you missed that point when you are so eager to jump onto Yea Forums and meme

Dude just wanted to make sure his brother dies for real this time.

>riding in a straight line like the other dragon was doing except with someone on top = force field
never write anything in your life

He was upgraded with the new Season 8 Patch. Now he is OP but nobody will play that game anyway

Dragons back then were much larger and in far larger numbers. It made sense that the masters of those dragons conquered a whole continent. One immature dragon annihilating a fortified castle after having proven itself mostly ineffective in a previous battle is just bad writing.

He's still growing. In Red Castle's cellar they've got dragon skulls the size of him.

she was able to signal to drogon when to dodge you are so mad right now over a tv show im laughing

because the real game of thrones was the friends we made along the way

Dragons never stop growing so he's larger than before. And the dragon-rider connection is so strong that Dany's righteous fury was flowing through Drogon. He was unleashed and doing what a dragon was born to do basically... Fire and blood

you have to be a landwhale if you call that shit dodging

*friends that got killed along the way

based Drogon

didn't seem very op when the previous two got effortlessly gunned down

During invasion they had only three. And much larger dragons lived in Valyria, at times of Invasion to Westeros they were already at the decline.

that is a good point - Dany has plot armor, which extends over on the dragon she's riding.

The Night King easily kills a dragon, then sucks it to Arya. Two dragons are utterly worthless during the Winterfell battle.
Euron and five ships appear and immediately take out a dragon with one scorpion. Now there are hundreds of scorpions dany dodges everything left and right like she's Superman and the whole fucking city and army is flattened when dragons never worked that way before. Also isn't Drogon still injured and their forces depleted? It was just over so fucking fast after three dragons did shit.
I guess Dany should have ignored Varys Tyrion Jon and Davos and just blew up the Red Keep in five seconds earlier, would have saved lots of lives on both sides.

>It was so OP it was stupid.
What in the world do you think "OP" means?

>Cope

Fuck your games
Fuck your politics
Fuck your throne
Fire and blood

Punished Dany is best Dany. All hail Drogon, the baddest of all motherfuckers.

>And much larger dragons lived in Valyria
There is no proof to that while Balerion was already something like Godzilla with wings. And Valyria wasnt at a decline when Aegon invaded Westeros, it was already gone.

>he didn't pay attention to the Manhattan Project subplot

Your brain is very small.

>He's still growing.

Because the Hound could not live with himself knowing he didn't kill his brother. It didn't matter that the Mountain, like Cercei was going to die anyways. His hatred at that point was so imbedded in his soul that he would rather die this way than live. This is why he told Arya "don't end up like me"

In MMO culture it stays for OverPowered as refered to some weapon or character that literally breaks the game.
/not-him

Dany could have flown on the Dragons to Mt.Doom/Red Keep and destroyed the ring/Cersei right at the start.

See if they did a time skip I'd buy it, just too much in too little time. The ep before this one, he sucked.

>also tv show (harrenhall): dragonfire melts stone

drogon was only ever hit once. the very first time the technology was used. after that both the dragon and rider adapted

S E E T H I N G

did you actually tell yourself some asspull like euron killing drogon while dany was riding it would have been better? lol have sex

Dragons were at the decline not the Valyria. They were already getting smaller.

>Dragon's physically can't
Shut up you fucking geek.

Melts. Not blowing it up like being hidden by artillery shells

>duuuurr splosians GOOD words BORING
retards like you that comprise the fanbase now ruined this once good show

Why didn't Cersei go on the offensive while Dany was busy with the NK? She could at least have placed the brunt of her troops at The Twins which are a natural choke point and have Euron ready to BTFO them if they try to go by sea.

Why did he hate him again? I missed seasons 5 through episode before last

This was worse because it'd be like if Gandalf suggested the Eagles at the beginning, everyone told him no that wouldn't work, thousands died in Sauron's war, then Gandalf just used eagles and it worked perfectly no downsides while the other characters bitched about how irrational Gandalf is despite their actions all being proven wrong, then Gandalf snaps and dunks all the hobbits into the volcano he's so pissed off.

>So what was the point of seven seasons of political intrigue and fighting if it was all rendered moot by a dragon in 20 minutes?
The funny thing is, this was basically the theme of the series. Except replace "a dragon" with "the white walkers". The game of thrones was always meaningless; that very phrase was used to mock it. A greater threat could come and wipe everything out at any time, like Aegon did 300 years ago, when he changed the rules of warfare by bringing dragons. This time it was the white walker's turn, with all their buildup, only they fucked it all up by killing the night king in a single episode. Long night my ass. And now two of the dragons died like nothing. Expect the third to go just as easily and the series to end celebrating the game of thrones because the show has completely missed the point.

This. Although we knew where this all would end, a scene like this had more tension than all that explosions and killing we saw yesterday:

>You're the Normie here, faggot
>This episode was braindead, but then again so is the fanbase of this show
You're a stupid normie garbage media fan who wants formulas and checked story arcs. GoT was never about that. Fuck off.

Shit happens. And this episode was about everything going to shit. (Not shit in quality but just all plans being wrecked).

Life is not a fucking story arc. And this is the one fucking show that is different from all the rest in that it depicts that aspect of life.

This was missing since season 6, but now it's back. Fuck off.

Dany could have literally sat by a pool and sipped Mai Tais for five years until her dragons were big enough and then walked into Westros and killed everyone who opposed her. Aka, exactly what her predecessor did 300 years prior.

This is the problem with any magical undefeatable weapon in fantasy stories. Give your characters magic, give them special powers, whatever. But also give them faults, and never make the invincible. The moment you give them a godmode device, you fuck your story and yourself as an author.

Such pottery.

Sandor hating the Mountain for burning his face when being a child makes more sense then Zombie Gregor hating Sandor so much that he disobeys orders out of nowhere. While we saw him shielding Cersei from falling Debris a minute before.

>monkey desperately defending his pile of literal shit
keep seething when called out

how much would such a dragon even have to eat just to sustain himself

It's like put people in the crypts during zombie riding battle, throw away Dothraki (who magically grow back I guess), NK leaves himself wide open to a little girl redux. Cersei just stans visible high up in the air a prime target, but Dany doesn't kill her because she doesn't even want revenge or inspiring fear by killing her rival queen. She's just cuckoo for coco puffs because PSSSHH NOTHIN PERSONAL edgy shit and burns tons of kids down. So Cersei doesn't pay for that particular stupid move because Dany is dumb too.

Its even more retarded when you keep in mind that she is young and she listens to her advisors telling her to burn down cities wont give her the respect and love of the people she wants to rule.
Wait until your Dragons get bigger and meanwhile govern the cities/country you rule to prosperity so that the people in Westeros know how nice the shit is going on there before you invade.

whatever it wants

Ancalagon is just the Dragon equivalent to the SDSD Freudian Nightmare:

You’re a ducking retard. Watch the first season again.

Wildfire, bro

>Freudian Nightmare is absurdly stupidly huge for no reason
>meanwhile the Eclipse class is actually canon
Star Wars is dumb.

The books are going to save this trash fire of a series right? There is no George the fat fuck is going to run down the same path this garbage show did right?

What does ducking mean? Is this a new meme? And why would I re-watch a show that ends in a compete train wreck, no thanks

he never sucked. the writers never used him.

That's the logical thing to do but this is a hedonistic shitfest of a novel series, so her dealing with taxation and urban land development isn't exactly narrative-driving.

If she was meant to rule, then a better ending would be her winning without needing the dragons at all and taking the throne simply because she's competent and worthy.

so about 200kg of elephants? like 400 tonnes or something would that suffice? 400 tonnes a day

Dont forget that the Eclipse is " only " 17,500 m long while that Boomerang we saw in the last star wars movie is 60km wide...

>ridiculously huge
>still would be destroyed in seconds by a bunch of smaller ships going at hyperspace

I guess that also means that because Drogon had a rider, all the ballista that shot relatively quickly episode 4 were only able to shoot twice episode 5......

he says it'll be different but not that different

why are you replying to a retard that included
