What prophecies has Patchface actually made?

I think D&D not telling Emilia Clarke her character would become Hitler from the beginning was a mistake. She was bratty and entitled but never had the "I'm going to give away the throne and my life so I can roast women and children I've for hours for no reason" unstable child mass killer vibe. If from the very beginning the character was supposed to be not just evil but a gibbering lunatic motivated primarily by the pointless slaughter of children while she spares her enemies they should have told the actress that.

I thought that the Drowned God was secretly Cthulu and that his goal is to usurp the other gods.

If Robb was around when Dany did her advantage, would he have refused to cuck out like his dumbass brother did?

Man there's no way Ellaria made it out alive, she directly killed Cersei's child. Edmure sure, because he didn't really do anything except be some little opponent lord, but no way Ellaria made it out alive.

The issue stems from the fact that her fall to madness happens after the written books.

Them making her literally Hitler was a mistake in itself, though. Even at the breakneck pace they chose for this season, her character could have been morally grey to the end. I think they just decided that they couldn't possibly get away with killing a character like hers unless they went all out making her as unlikable as possible.

Post yfw D&D hated Stannis so much they even took it out on Dillane

>Coster-Waldau told the outlet that while the actors playing minor characters on the series might learn of their character’s death reading the script, most actors who have roles with major arcs or storylines will get that iconic phone call. According to the actor, Benioff and Weiss simply forgot to tell Dillane.

>"The main characters will get a phone call, usually. [laughs] ... A lot of people also just find out when they read the script. I don't think anyone finds out at the actual table read," Coster-Waldau said." For some reason I think Stannis — Stephen Dillane — he found out in his trailer, reading the script, I think because they made a mistake, apparently. They forgot [and said], 'Are you going to call him? No I'm going to call him.' OK! So he was like, 'Are you... what?! I guess I'm not the chosen one, but the red priestess said it was me!' But ... other than that they're pretty good in telling people."

It feels like D&D didn't even know they were gonna go in that direction until a couple episodes ago. Even season 7 is written as if they fully intend for her to be a good queen. The scene in season 8 episode 1 where Sam tells Jon the truth about his parentage felt like the first time the show properly alluded to the notion she may not be a good queen. It felt like the showrunners honestly weren't even intending to go that route until then.

she said they would give her random notes about how they wanted her to act in certain scenes when she was being too soft. they asked her to be more quesionably on the edge. she said she didnt quite no why but it started making sense later

This. They should have trusted her with the secret. JK Rowling trusted the Snape actor with Snape's secret, and it paid off--they should have done the same with Emilia--she was a major character, much more than Snape was to the HP world.

>The issue stems from the fact that her fall to madness happens after the written books.

Bingo

Book 5 is where here descent begins, when she gets a taste of what ruling is really like. The end of her storyline in that book has her embracing her roots and giving up on fair ruling.

Melisandre sees his power and thinks he’s evil, but he’s tied to a god of water and she’s tied to a god of fire, so who knows if he actually is. Either way, they’re on opposite sides, which is interesting since they’re both tied to Stannis.

We kinda forgot Dany is supposed to turn a city to ashes.

No, she wasn't

>So he was like, 'Are you... what?! I guess I'm not the chosen one, but the red priestess said it was me!'
Jesus Christ, is Stephen Dillane actually Stannis? Like, literally Stannis himself?

>He wouldn't have fallen in love with Dany
He literally married the first foreign fuck he was given

Those aren't really comparable though. Dany's is about where her character goes in the future, while Snape's is about who he was in the past. It makes sense for the performer to be aware of the characters' backstory, so that when it's revealed it feels credible to the way he played him, but it isn't as necessary for an actor to be aware of how their character's story to play out. I don't believe JK Rowling told Snape about him killing Dumbledore.

This is based on a Winds sample chapter, but I think the Drowned God exists alongside the other gods, and the eldritch monster attempting to usurp them is Euron. Aeron has a vision of a weird tentacley Euron on the Iron Throne, with all the other gods (Seven, Lord of Light, etc) skewered on its swords. The Drowned God is impaled there along with all the rest.

That's because they didn't even know Daenerys' endgame until later

For example, the House of the Undying vision was in season 2, D&D didn't sit down with George and get the ending and broad strokes until sometime between seasons 3 and 4*. So that vision was of their own making and not based on anything George told them. They even admitted in the commentary for that scene that they brought Drogo back because they liked Momoa and that the visions were to tempt Dany to stay. But now they literally retconned that scene to be foreshadowing for Dany's death with her touching the throne but not sitting down on it and dying to join Drogo and Rhaego in the afterlife.

Just like Arya closing eyes was in season 3, which they also retconned to mean her killing night king which they only admitted they planned for her to do around 3 years ago.

Let me get this straight, Tyrion, a guy who stated in season one that his goal is to live no matter, walks up to dany and basically guarantees his own death by telling her to fuck off. Here’s how this should have gone:

>my queen I can’t thank you enough for liberating the people of king’s landing”
>you freed your brother
>I freed him to kill Cersei, which he did

Patchface is Azor Ahai.

While George has already said he won't change the ending just because someone figured it out, do you think he might alter things after seeing the reception his intended endings got in the show? He's intelligent enough to know the reception is mostly because of the poor handling of the material rather than the actual plot, but it might still have an impact on how he views his plans.

It's essentially giving him a peek into the future of the reception the books might get, he might've had regrets even if the show never got made, e.g. Rowling said she regretted not pairing up Hermione with Harry.

>The dreams were even worse the second time. He saw the longships of the Ironborn adrift and burning on a boiling blood-red sea. He saw his brother on the Iron Throne again, but Euron was no longer human.
It’s the Iron Throne. Euron is going for the big prize

You can be a knight, just not a Kingsguard or a Nightswatchman

Doubt it. George seems like a writer committed to the story he's telling, even if he can't get up off his ass and finish the damn thing. I don't think his vision for the ending is all that malleable.

Only septons and maesters have to take oaths of chastity, but they don’t live in poverty. Hedge knights are allowed to fuck but are usually poor unless they win favor from some lord. It’s basically that if you’re a peasant and want upward mobility, you have to choose between getting laid or sleeping in a bush

>forever young

It sounds like this sets the path for the destruction of the wall. Euron (either insane or being controlled by a New God) blows the whatchamacallit horn and the Wall falls, unleashing the White Walker invasion.

Kingsguard are usually the top knights of the realm so being too good at your job just gets you a lifelong post of standing outside the king's door while he porks his sister and you are never allowed to marry or hold lands.

Speaking of horns and the Wall, did they ever find the real Horn of Joramun? The horn Euron has supposedly controls dragons but the wall-breaking Horn is a different one. I was never sure why that one existed in the first place since it seems kind of pointless to spend all that time building the biggest wall ever just to make a magic horn that does nothing except destroy your work

Screencap this:
>Victarion sails to Mereen with a dragon horn, hoping to gain Dany's favor
>The dragon horn, Dragonbinder, was a gift from Euron
>Euron's gifts are poisoned
>Victarion will arrive at Mereen
>Euron will warg into one of the whore he gifted Victarion (possibly why he needs to travel to Oldtown, there are glass candles there)
>She will blow the horn and force Viserys under Euron's control
>Euron will remotely burn everything so Dany supposedly can't follow, and make Viserys come back to Westeros
>Euron will use Viserys to bring down the Wall and let the Others in
>He hopes that the slaughter will allow him to mantle Godhood, meanwhile the Others are hellbent on getting south fast enough to prevent the completion of his ritual
This is where Dany arrives in Westeros. Cersei has already been dealt with and Young Griff will be on the Iron Throne to greet her. Jon Snow will be revived and will have already taken back the North just in time to see the Wall break.

Horn of Joramum is made up bullshit.

>muh blow this horn and the wall will fall
No. Unless that Wall has giants inside of it like WE WUZ ATTACK ON TITANS N SHIT, that horn is about waking giants.

"Rhaenyra's army" as a catchphrase is cringe, but he's gotten better at conveying the information effectively from the earlier videos, where he was more or less REEEEE-ing when Stannis died and rambling on other topics that don't matter like in the video about Cersei's show-only stillborn, with mealy-mouthed liberal talking points on whether Cersei deliberately aborting Robert's baby in the books was left out to keep it from polarising audience opinion against her or getting the show negative attention for what amounts in today's left-wing climate to an anti-abortion statement by having a clear villainness have a discretionary abortion to spite the father. Even though it happened in the books and was fairly clearly meant to show Cersei in a negative light.

That actually makes sense. Fuck, the freefolk are retarded

The first real clue the show gave was when she burned the Tarly's alive. Every single event before that, no matter how brutal, they depicted her in the right. The tone of the music, the crowds of people cheering for her. When she burned them alive, was the first time they used that kind of music score with her. Also all the flashbacks before the episode starts referencing that scene. Your stupid if you think there is a single time before that point that would give a clue she would end up villanized.

What they did to the Faceless Men in the show is a fucking disgrace.

It took them TWO YEARS, two FUCKING YEARS, to write and direct this season. Think about that for a second.

It's time to face facts, he's not making it out. The North is Stannis' grave. It's just a question of how much more dignified and logical his end will be in the books than in the show.

but the context for the show and book is completely difference, in the show he looks like a selfish asshole who breaks his oath for a hot piece of ass, in the books it's understandable

Stannis wasn't rapidly character assassinated. Him burning Shireen made perfect sense with how he was presented in the show and in the books--driven and motivated to personal sacrifice at all cost taken its logical extreme: the sacrifice of his daughter. People weren't upset by "rapid character assassination" with Stannis. Stannis had been portrayed as eviler than in the books for most of the series by the time he burned his daughter.

It means he's a great actor.

GoT dialogues was always one of its most praised features.
Someone should compare that amount of talking scenes to the very first episode.
I guarantee you it would be the most effective indication of what happened to this show.

Book Stannis is an atheist

I’ve hated Stannis since the Cressen chapter in book two and I still thought that scene was bullshit. He needed a more compelling reason to burn her apart from “Red Lady said so”

*tips fedora*

Stannis won't burn Shireen. Stannis is currently separated from her by like a hundred miles. Melly is burning Shireen.

Yes, book and show Stannis aren't the same characters. I'm saying show Stannis wasn't "rapidly" character assassinated. Whether he was character assassinated can be fairly argued either way, but it wasn't rapid.

Bingo

The problem is the writing floundered without GRRM’s input. Before, they could lift entire sections of book dialogue and write the spaces in between while remaining conscious of the intended tone. The characters in s8 speak like modern-day people because they lost that tone and can’t establish it without book conversations to lean on.

Young Griff should have been part of the main narrative because he has an important role to play. Making him the center of a spin-off defeats the point.

it's implied they are behind the doom, Valyrians were into some deep evil blood magic and sorcery.

This was to show that he actually cared about Shireen when it might not have been clear otherwise, so his sacrifice was brutal and deeply affected him, hence why he basically committed suicide in the battle against Ramsay.

Now post the one with him telling Mel pray harder.

Season 1 Dany was so cute

No, i'm sure of it. You're dumb. You literally can't distinguish between "clues" and foreshadowing and the actual heel-turn itself. Burning the fucking Tarlys was one of the last of a long string of obvious hints going back to the beginning... the shepherds daughter, the indiscriminate killing of the Masters, the public execution of that kid that earned her a stern hissing. Hell, the show explicitly -TOLD- you that her family is prone to homicidal madness. Did you name your daughter Khaleesi? You seem to be in deep denial either because you're just that invested in the character or you have to defend being this stupid. The ending sucked, but her turn to the dark side being "unexpected" or a late swerve is absolutely not one of the reasons...

Which retard could draw smth like that it's like directing gun in your face equivalent of medieval

why do you even watch any tv series if you don't like a bit of spectacle? Books are perfectly good if you only want information, but when it's adapted into live-action not everything will be dialogue, character thoughts, or descriptions of food

combined with Battle of the Bastards it was probably the biggest season ending and Winds of Winter was unusual for being a final episode with such a big event, but it's overrated. You just got memed on by the shitty unexpected piano music at the beginning, which they tried to basically recycle for The Long Night but it didn't work lol
