Not a single person from Kings Landing killed one of Danys forces.

Bravo Dabid

Dany took care of that. Slaughtered so many of her forces lel

He should've had a vaguely ethnic, fantasy name like D'vorboth Skandrinoor. But with a name like Harry Strickland, he was just too white to live in this show.

By season 8 Jon Snow is such an insane fighter, that he stands on the battlefields, brooding over something mildy related to the battle, thinking, and then when someone foolish enough comes by and actually attacks him, he just slices him instantly, in a manner that shows that he's annoyed by this, like
>i was in the middle of the deep thought here, and then this guy came by and almost cut my train of thought.

I'll accept that they killed one off to save on budget. I also accept that the golden company went out like a bitch against an OP dragon.

>three kings guard (kings fucking guard son) attack sandor
>he palpatines them in three strokes
top kek better be a name character in this shit

he had two lines in episode 1

Not only that, but he casually skewers them straight through their armor.

In all fairness, they did forshadow how useful the Dragons were with Tywin's lines inside the burnt out castle, along the lines of "a million men could have seiged this castle, and a million men would have failed".

Cersi wasn't wrong either; all she needed was one lucky shot from the ships or wall ballistae and she would have won. Her luck, however, ran out.

I laughed real fucking hard when she yelled at Arya to look at him and convince her to stop seeking revenge, implying that he would kill Cersei himself. Then that scene happened wherein Cersei just casually walks past Sandor like what?

this, yet another problem to add on the endless list for this show. it's something normies don't even notice but it's insanely different compared to the early seasons. where even a few people fighting had a sense of weight and realism and people didn't just casually die in one swing from the mary sue main characters

yep, the same horse, and I still have no idea why, or what "so deep" farts were the writers trying to express by having Sansa magically get that horse

he didn't imply that he would kill cersei, just that she wasn't going to survive

he says cersei is as good as dead anyway. not that he would kill her.

The golden company looked poverty as fuck up close, they just had basic leather armor with some gold around it and it wasn’t even uniform either. God the costumes have gone so downhill

It's obvious the real heads of the Golden Company knew this was going to be a blowout so nothing of value was sent to Cersei.

Why are they OUTSIDE THE FUCKING WALLS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE PLAY A TOTAL WAR GAME YOU FUCKS!

He said that Meryn Fucking Trant is a worthless fighter.
And if someone like him can get into the Kingsguard, it's not far from the realm of reality that these 3 Kinguards were of poor swordsmanship as well.

The whole point of Golden Company is that they have the best shit gold can buy, because they have all the gold. Best armor, horses, weapons, training. They are the Swiss pikemen of ASOIAF.

i remember ned vs jaime.
even jaime who's one of the better fighters in all of westeros struggles to take down a middle aged rusty northener.
their styles were different as well, although i think this was done unintentionally.
ned was ruthless and lacked technique, while jaime had a lot more finnesse.

Cool shot. I know that guy is a massive pussy in the books, but since when do they care about the books? They could have let him get a pity kill or two on the horseniggers at least.

Well I mean..

They are almost entirely black, and they wear barely any armor, just leather and shields. They're disciplined light infantry.

Not that plate armour does much since people just stab straight through that shit like tinfoil on this show.

In the books they wear all their gold in battle. Yeah I know: it's not the books. I don't need to be reminded.

>Do you think every infantry man was decked in full plate armor back then?
professional soldiers (i.e. mercenaries) would generally have pretty good armor, yes. That's their entire fucking job.

>Dothraki established to be cruel, fame seeking glory-hounds in battle.
>Established that they culturally view any man without his mount in a battle as no man at all, fit only to be ridden down.

Why are there so many Dothraki anyway? Didn't we witness them all charging to their deaths 2 episodes ago?

The costume designers for this show are so shit. It's medieval, that means browns and beiges and blacks and more browns.

GRRM kept things very colourful and mostly historical, with only the odd fantastical addition like Bobby's horned helmet or a spell-crafted sword.

If they spent the budget on putting Lannister sigils and colours on something like pic related, and D&D spent like a fucking half hour playing Total War, this show post S4 could have been the best shit to grace television.

>GRIFF HELP M--AAAAAAAAAARHGRH

Yeah, sure. So what kept Daenerys from destroying the Iron Fleet when she last faced it, right after the lucky shot?

The logic is that they blind side her when she isn't expecting it and kill a wounded (and shittier to begin with) dragon, she flies in panic before taking more losses. Then she goes in prepared and with a plan and it goes much better. Up to you if this is satisfying at all.

Did they only include them because the golden company will be defending the city in the books when Daenerys does the same thing but it’s fAegon on the throne?
There’s absolutely no reason for them to be in the show at all

Unliek your inbred mutt brain some people actually don't get their in formation from parroting and history channel you fucking retard.

If they weren’t there they would be an unresolved plot thread. Instead they’re turned into a joke. Much better.

They needed to pad out Cerseis army after piling all the good characters on Dany's side.

Maria the Witch
it's okay, but iirc there's not a whole lot of medieval battle action besides that scene (the protagonist spends the whole show using her magic to stop the two sides from actually battling)

You mean like Grey Worm?

Yeah, medieval people loved colour and tried to make their clothes are garish and fancy-looking as possible because this denoted wealth and status. Cutting about in dull brown leather and untailored fur would make you look like a hobo, its the medieval equivalent of wearing a poncho made out of tarp.

>Arthur Dayne
Yeah I hear he dual wielded valyrian steel swordz fucken sick, bro. That shit's dope and tight.

Virgin Witch Maria. It's not really very good but has some surprisingly accurate/well choreographed battle scenes, one of the animators must have been a medieval history nerd.

My favorite part of the anti-dragon defenses is that they did absolutely nothing, and didn’t even factor into Danys decision making process. Even though they were shown to actually work literally the episode before. I also like that the golden company did absolutely nothing. I really like these two things.

the person who painted this wasnt present in the battle
chainmail

The pigments they used to color their clothes were very different back then, moron. You're also looking at paintings, you can't possibly be this stupid.

>My favorite part of the anti-dragon defenses is that they did absolutely nothing, and didn’t even factor into Danys decision making process.

kek this. she literally flew head on at every single ballista. the only difference was this time it was her turn to have plot armor on

how in the FUCK did the dothraki literally respawn when they were shown to all DIE FROM THE FUCKING ZOMBIES

I'm more annoyed by the fact that they seem to just pull new Dothraki and Unsullied RIGHT OUT OF THEIR ASSES.
We watched the Dothraki ALL DIE. That was the fucking point of their gay flaming sword bit. So, what now? We're supposed to believe that there were another 10k or so they just decided not to use for some reason? And what about the Unsullied? They all died holding the shield wall, or okay they didn't but she then loaded them up on board her ships and those all got sunk so she only had a small company left. Now suddenly there's more of them? WHERE FROM?

It especially annoys me because it would have made the plot BETTER if it was just the northmen left. Dany could have been shown as being pissed that she lost her actual army, and the northmen mostly lives. Suspicious that that was a plot by the north to strip her of her power. Suspecting that they weren't going to support her claim and if she lost her last dragon she was done, etc. Paranoid about Jon being a sly fucker on her, etc. Would have fed the narrative of her heel turn better. Instead they just pull a new horde of fucking horsemen out from nowhere.

Can we just acknowledge that there's about 20 seconds of ultra-kino violence during the fighting in kings landing in which some guy loses his hands and another get decapitated. I've never seen combat so good looking

they seemed to have pulled even more out of their asses judging by that shot of dany overlooking her army next episode, it stretches as far as you can see

You are the 'brazilians are actually german and therefor aryan' guy.

It turned out it made no difference at all that Dany choose to go to the North first before Kings Landing. I love television!

There’s no way this is the best writing they could come up with this season. Yeah, the quality has been on a bit of gradual decline throughout the years, but this is a whole other level. I have never seen anything more obviously rushed on screen. There HAS to be something going on with GRRM. Either he has some crazy book ideas or he actually plans on dropping that GoT movie, I dunno, but I refuse to believe that THIS will be the end of the legacy.

I think it’s plausible from what I know about the background of the books that this is broadly the ending he has envisioned for GoT. I haven’t heard about him interfering much with the show direction though. And the way people talk about the show is totally different than how they used to talk about it during early seasons— it’s focused on how believable certain elements feel because there is a strong sense that thing are happening because the plot demands them. D&D just trying and failing to get the story to the conclusion

They're making prequel series after this. Not that it would help.

>people rolled around in the dirt to 'weather their clothes' in the middle ages
Do you go out in your good clothes and roll around on the ground? No? Then why would anyone else? Working clothes might be shabbier but they didn't dress like shit for every occasion.
And they wore bright colours in battle a) so that their achievements would be recognised, and b) so that their own side wouldn't mistake them for the enemy and kill them (like what would have happened at the battle of the bastards with both sides in identical brown leathers).

It was a bit until Dany decided to Dresden the entire place. They were on an open beach Ned! An open Beach!!!

Andals are basically Proto-Indo-Europeans, the only whites in Essos after the Andals invaded thousands of years ago are whatever Persian expy there is in Essos/the books.

Their clothes should be dirty, faded, torn, and patched. Only the richest people could afford to keep their clothes clean or replace damaged clothing. Everyone else just did patch jobs.
The problem with that image is that all their costumes are clearly brand new and unweathered which is silly.
Rolling around in the dirt was my joke suggestion for making their clothes a bit less new looking.

that's retarded, people were entirely capable of taking care and making their own clothes, we're not niggers

your understanding of the world has been twisted by too much fictional audiovisual media

nah, fabric back then was coarse and incredibly resilient, wool does not fade and doesn't really get dirty, and they were making their own clothing from homespun cloth, not exactly expensive

Yes dragons are useful because they can melt stone and roast everyone inside alive. Notice how harrenhall still stands despite being burnt.

Meanwhile drogon explodes buildings instantly. d&d are retarded.

Iron Jorah is the purest Andal in the Seven Kingdoms.

get fucked in the ass like them too?

No, your understanding is what has been twisted by modern living.

All cloth in those days was hand made on a loom. Making it much more expensive than today. And all the women learned how to sew so they could repair clothes that were damaged by a life spent outdoors doing manual labor. Throwing away damaged clothes would have been wasteful. An extravagance only the wealthy could afford. They didn't bathe or wash their clothes anywhere near as well or as often as we did.

The style of white wedding dresses was invented because in the old days only the rich could afford clean white clothing. It was impossible to keep white clothing clean. So a pure white wedding dress became a status symbol.

He's not actually an andal though. Dothraki are literally retarded.

The nobles, who were knights, were able to and actually had plate armor. But that shit was expensive.

Most of the armies had their share of knights, but everyone else in the army just wore what they could like chain mail (which was still expensive as shit) or lots of leather and armor here and there. And paintings, even contemporary ones, always exaggerate. Of course they aren't going to paint the random ass peasant in his dull armor.

That's one of the few medieval paintings of a battle that looks 'real.' Very cool.

No, it wasn't. In fact, it was a lot cheaper and easier to produce than chainmail and other armors that came before it. Nobles had fancier versions of it, but it was affordable to the grand majority of the soldiers of the time, which were either mercenaries or landowners who were specifically under contract to buy their own armor and weapons and train for war.

>It especially annoys me because it would have made the plot BETTER if it was just the northmen left. Dany could have been shown as being pissed that she lost her actual army, and the northmen mostly lives. Suspicious that that was a plot by the north to strip her of her power. Suspecting that they weren't going to support her claim and if she lost her last dragon she was done, etc. Paranoid about Jon being a sly fucker on her, etc. Would have fed the narrative of her heel turn better. Instead they just pull a new horde of fucking horsemen out from nowhere.

this unironically 2bh

No, he's just an eternal anglo.

there looked like there was hardly 1000 of them on the battlefield, too

show designers purposefully avoided making Westeros too much like Medieval Europe in terms of costumes, saying it was Eurocentric and fantasy didn't have to conform to it
not /pol/ and not making this up it was in one of those production videos before the series even aired back in 2011 or whenever
always thought it was stupid as I really never liked the armor and outfits in the show and thought just more generic medieval stuff would suit better
though funnily enough while I hated it when the show first came out the Lannister armor sort of grew on me even those stupid helmets though I think it's absolutely ridiculous that a man-at-arms would wear such expensive and ornate equipment regardless of how wealthy the House is

>it was Eurocentric and fantasy didn't have to conform to it
>It's almost entirely based on western european medieval culture and events, down to the plots
What the actual fuck is wrong with americans

they tried to include more exotic influences
that's why the lannister equipment looks like samurai armor

When jon and davos are walking into the city theres a guy to jons left. A lannister soldier comes from the right and everyone turns. Then one comes from the left and hits that guy to jons left in the throat. Then jon kills the lannister soldier

DAS RITE white boi.

its probably not supposed to be but they only had the one horse on set and wanted to get their moneys worth

I liked seeing the completely still, unmanned scorpions getting burned in the background while Jon did his best 'Nam shellshocked impression

lmao he looked like he was running faster than the horses for some of it

Was anyone else disapointed this guy didn't even speak?
As soon as I saw him I realised D&D had fucked up by not giving him some solo scenes. GOT has always been about every major player getting a character, no real heroes and villians.It made the battle less tense, but I guess it was more about the massacre.

If the euron ambush that killed one dragon was handled by the it'd tie it all together better, have Dany be surprised at the volume of ballistae fire, narrowly escaping the valley on dragon, and the other dragon only be taken down by "one lucky shot". This would mitigate the one eighty that we got, where one dragon gets nuked by three seemingly precise shots, only for the other to later Dodge a hundred or more. I can buy that dragon could avoid and destroy all the scorpions but only if they barely managed to take out (viscerion or rheagal I can't remember)

>thousands of brown men landing in the west is somehow unrealistic
You don't watch the news much, do you?

Even dumber when he can't pierce the Mountain's armor easily, which is the same armor but bigger.

In fact, the mountain was the only person whose armor actually worked effectively in like the last 3 seasons.

so jewish.

It depends where and when. The Middle Ages covered a continent and 1000 years.

>It especially annoys me because it would have made the plot BETTER if it was just the northmen left. Dany could have been shown as being pissed that she lost her actual army, and the northmen mostly lives.

If they did it right, Dany would fly to Deepwood Motte and scare the Glovers into swearing fealty to her. The Glovers still have men because they sat out the Battle of Winterfell. Also, Jon Snow should have been made the lord of the Dreadfort, and he'd rename it. Sansa would betroth to Robert Arryn, explaining what she was plotting with Lord Royce. So now Sansa is effectively in control of the soldiers from the Vale. This makes Danaerys' Northern opposition stronger and isolates her even more. On the way south, you'd have a viewpoint from Jon, who marches the army through The Neck. Howland Reed shows up with more troops and tells Jon the truth firsthand about what happened at the Tower of Joy. Then the Riverlands would surrender to this growing army of Jon, Edmure Tully would be released and installed as the lord of the Riverlands.

This would make Danaerys' apprehensions about people liking Jon much more apparent and real.

It's the pale horse of death metaphor.
Duh.
Because, like, so many people died. So to remind you audience, there was a lot of death. This episode was about death.
Death.

White men are over

>Golden Jobbers fight outside the walls

Why do d&d keep doing this

Also represents the fact that Arya is going to go bring death to Daenerys because green eyes are on the list and Arya has totally seen how evil she is now. Pottery.

I don't get it, ware they elite in the books ? The moment shit went down I thought they would regroup and be like right lads, man the formation and go forward, for some reason I genuinely thought there's no way its all for fucking show with gilded runic plate armors

>They didn't bathe or wash their clothes anywhere near as well or as often as we did.
Yeah. Only when they got dirty.

The best mercenary company money could buy, never failed a contract, lavishly equipped with the best gear up to and including elephants.
Or dragon fodder.

As terrible as it was, at least greyworm fans can still say that maybe he did what he did because he didint know better, and wasas supposed to follow the queen no matter what. Dany fans on the other hand will be hiding under rocks for the next 6 months.

>I'll accept that they killed one off to save on budget
For little bits of this single episode? How often would they have needed to be on-screen together?
This is how you do it better:
>Last episode, scorpions scare off the 2 dragons, maybe injuring one. Some of the fleet gets toasted.
>This episode, just as the Lannister army is about to surrender, injured dragon is finished off by one of the last scorpions, adding to Dany's anger and pushing her over the edge into burning everything
EASY.

I noticed at one point one armoured guy got almost cut in half by a sword slash and thought 'How fucking strong would you have to be to manage that?'.

There are a few bad shots but generally the episode looked amazing. I think your expectations are really high for a television show.

It's not that far fetched to think that the kingsgaurd only contains useful idiots that are on it for political reason instead of combat prowess.

If he knew he wouldn't have agreed to the contract.

doesn't the golden company choose contracts that favors the winners? why didn't they immediately reject the contract the moment they heard they were facing off against dragons

very well equipped but had a reputation for only choosing contracts where their client was very likely to win

you gonna tell me this nigger rolls into KL looking the spitting image of s01 jaime and cersei doesnt fuck him?

nu-kings guard were full of shitters and literal whos aside from the mountain

>Dany loses half the unsullied, 95% of the Dothraki and Rhaegal
>northern forces depleted from battle of Winterfell
>Cersei has the entire iron fleet, fresh rested Lannister army and Entire Golden company, who are supposed to be the best of the best
>had time to fortify Kings landing with hundreds of 360 no scope scorpions

And after all that talk of Dany losing so much of her force that the battle for Kings landing would be close, she utterly wrecks them in minutes. The army didn’t even have to be there and she would have won easily. It makes the decision to not attack kings landing immediately after reaching Westeros seem even more retarded, seeing as she could have wrecked Cersei with 1 dragon and 10% of her force while the rest goes north to fight the white walkers.

And what the fuck was the point of those absolute faggots in the Golden company? Cersei really became retarded in the last few seasons. She thought the Golden company and their elephants, along with the iron fleet, would be enough to take Danaerys full 100,000 strong Dothraki horde and 3 dragons? Absolutely laughable

That's how it is in all my animes

They got shot in the back by a fucking dragon. Dude regains consciousness just in time to see a category 5 chimp out descending on him.

Pretty sure he handled it better than Yea Forums crackas could

History, dipshit. In the era of plate armor armies were small and composed almost exclusively of professionals. When regular commoners did go to fight it was usually as part of territorial or urban militias that pooled cash to afford weapons and armor.

Wait, I never realized Jaime was played by Kevin Bacon in S1.

>force of slave soldiers in the 1200s
No such thing in Europe.

Medieval amor doesn't really protect against stabs that well. It is mainly useful against slashing attacks.

Those scorpions were fucked loaded too, just that everyone decided to abandon their post or just forgot about them.

There’s no way all the Dothraki died in that charge, there were supposedly 100,000 of them. Even if a few hundred survived its enough to make a difference. Not that it mattered since Drogon singlehandedly BTFO the iron fleet and Kings landing

That's not chainmail, retard, those are brigandines and plate. The drawing is clearly from the mid 1400s.
As contemporary to them as WW2 is to you
As contemporary to them as the Napoleonic wars

Plate armor was ubiquitous on the late 15th century battlefield, but stop posting pictures of battles decades or centuries earlier.

>WW2
*WW1

Judging by the gear it looks like it was drawn 1440-1460

I never realized GoT was set in precisely 1465.

Stop going on tangents, retard. You claim that everybody having plate armor is unrealistic even though there was almost a century long period where this was the case.

All you're doing by continuing is proving your own retardation.

Tbf, all those peasants who made up the bulk of the early and high medieval armies were serfs. So basically slaves.

No shit he could tear through them.

The scorpions being able to reliably take down the dragons in the first place was retardation. what happened in ep5 made way more sense. The whole point of he dragons is that they’re virtually unstoppable WMDs but beyond that they have no practical use.

I don't mind seeing the greatest mercenary group getting one-shotted by a dragon to show how a dragon is practically a nuke, the greatest warriors in the world doesn't mean a damn.
But the Golden Company weren't even hyped up that much, that could just as well have been Lannister men getting burned. Their inclusion felt pretty wasted and pointless.
