"And then, all of the overproud noble houses of the Reach swore rightful fealty to Ser Some Guy"
Wasn't there a line in the last season about how there is "no one else" in the Reach?
Thats sir Bronn of the Blackwater.
Servent of the demon imp
was this before or after they broke up
He's going to be too busy managing the sovereign wealth fund
>Bronn never got to enjoy the Dornish bad pusy
Yes, according to Davos the lands are now empty. Nobody has ever explained why, there were at most two battles there in the entire run of the show.
Had to be before, iirc Lena refused to even be in the same room as him after the breakup.

Yes, this does make sense.
>I give Westeros a year before it descends into utter chaos and civil war
>Bran's face thinking about all the inevitable rape
Hey guys let’s bring back those brothels first hehehe silly guy
Jon Snow being sent to the wall again was punishment for killing the rapist at kings landing. Bronn was always on the side of the Dothraki
Bronn getting shanked at the on Tyrion's orders would've been a nice twist but it wouldn't gel with their goofy tone for the ending.
As master of coin, what is Bronn's tax policy?
Bran not bronn, fucking GRRM names
Build brothels everywhere and tax them
Go back and try watching all the Aria scenes in Bravos knowing she's not going to use any of that shit ever again after she kills the freys.
There was a parody video coming up with logical endings for the characters based on the show (immediate Dornish secession, Gendry laughed out of the Stormlands, etc.), and for Bronn it went something like
>Bronn got stabbed to death 3 days later
Privatizing every part of Westerosi life from the military to the foods and enacting mercantilism policies against free trade. Basically Trump if he liked the Mexicans
Or anything involving the Red God/Lord of Light and the Azor Ahai prophecy.
Idk if Bronn is that sophisticated. He didn't even know how loans worked until he started working for Tyrion. More likely he'd just embezzle the shit out of the royal treasury while bribing people and using funds for his own amusement (brothels for example).
It wouldn't even take a year.
>North has no valuable resources and retard as a queen, so they're fucked.
>Iron Islands want to be independent or have a bigger say, so they fuck off and don't help anywhere.
>Dorne wants to be independent or have a bigger say, so they fuck off and don't help anywhere.
>The Reach was given to some literal nobody that doesn't even belong to a house, so they're pissed off.
>Riverlands ruler is pissed off that he was emasculated and isn't King.
>Westerlands? Who the fuck knows? Who is in charge of Lannisport?
If you thought Robert's Rebellion or the War of the Five Kings was fucked, just wait.
The person who said bad writing hasn't kill anybody could'n be more wrong
Wouldn't lannisport be fucked anyways? No gold? Doesn't the crown owe the iron bank a fuck ton of money for the golden company?
I was so fucking mad when aria killed the night king and Jon DIDNT kill that fucking dragon.
The Reach is empty, at least of fighting age males, because half the men there died defending Highgarden from the Lannister army, who then probably put to death all the lords that were anti-Cersei.
Then dragon hitler lady killed the other half of the Reach's armies in the supply train and King's Landing if there were any left by that point.
So basically, only women and children are left there, because the armies got exterminated.
>The Reach was given to some literal nobody that doesn't even belong to a house, so they're pissed off.
They'll probably just ignore Bronn completely. He doesn't even have an army, when he arrives at Highgarden he'll probably find the place already occupied by Hightower or Redwyne soldiers. Same goes for Gendry in the Stormlands, one of the local lords will have set up shop or maybe the Dornish just invade.
Yes, the Crown does owe the Iron Bank a ton of money for using the Golden Company. The Golden Company is who the Iron Bank uses to collect their debts, so who knows what the hell happens now?
And as for Lannisport, it's still a big city with a ton of people. It would still be important to use strategically.
>because half the men there died defending Highgarden from the Lannister arm
A single battle can't kill off half of your fighting age male population. If it did there would be nobody left alive in the show, there were would certainly not be a Lannister army to speak off after they got smashed several times by Robb.
I could see the Stormlands supporting Gendry because he's a legitimized Baratheon now and they did support Robert, Stannis, and Renly.
House Hightower, House Redwyne, and any House Tyrell that still exist would immediately kill Bronn.
>there were would
*there would
Sorry, it's 1am here
>If you thought Robert's Rebellion or the War of the Five Kings was fucked, just wait
Dorne's pretty much the only kingdom that's been untouched by the war though. Who's left to fight out of the remaining kingdoms?
Isn't Jon technically leader of the Dothraki now since their leadership seems to depend on who killed the previous leader?
The Vale, The Iron Islands, and the Riverlands still probably have a lot of fight left in them. It's been awhile since they fought like Crownlands, North, and Reach did.
let everyone do whatever the fuck they want, he got his share already
The Vale, maybe, but the Iron Islands have been rekt by Euron vs Yara/Theon/Daenerys shit, and its only been, what, a few years since the Riverlands got rekt with the war between Robb and Tywin?
>Who's left to fight out of the remaining kingdoms?
The Vale is pretty much fine, they lost part of their army in the north but the kingdom itself was untouched.
>and the Riverlands still probably have a lot of fight left in them
The Riverlands is probably in the worst shape out of any of the kingdoms, the whole place was basically a battlefield in the war of five kings.
there's a lot of shit going on about the ending and yet to me it feels that people aren't upset about it enough
it IS that bad of an ending, honestly. people haven't fully realized how nonsensical it all was
I think the most probable outcome for Gendry is that he will have seemingly faithful supporters and advisors who constantly try to advise him to take the throne so they can be the power behind his reign. Gendry doesn't know shit about politics and they all know it and probably see exploiting it as a way to get ahead.
After, see how they don't even make eye contact?
this is what would actually happen
I guess the question is whether people in this universe would be too worn out to fight anymore and accept the outcome or would they see how fucked up and incredibly incompetent their entire monarchy is...except for Master of Ships of course...
I think the majority is split between people who realize how incredibly retarded the ended is and people who realize that, but are so jaded they don't even care or vocalize it.
Highgarden fell so easily because they were caught relatively unawares. At best you're talking about the Highgarden levies.
The reach has dozens of houses, a couple that have about as much as Highgarden itself.
i think people are too stunned to be really mad about it. like it was so cartoonish in the wrap up that people don't know how to really react.
>I think the most probable outcome for Gendry is that he will have seemingly faithful supporters and advisors who constantly try to advise him to take the throne so they can be the power behind his reign
Yeah, this. If anything Gendry's probably safer because he's an outsider that's never been anywhere near power. Think about it, if you were a Stormlands lord would you rather:
1. Risk everything and attempt to overthrow Gendry (who's backed by the crown), or
2. Try to manipulate the former smith to your own benefit, or even just tell him to fuck off whenever he tries to do anything
I AM GENDRY OF HOUSE PISSMESELF, I WILL BE YOUR LORD FROM NOW ON
> *echoes all 3 survivors in the entire Stormlands*
Why the father and daughter suspiciously living together who gave rabbit stew to the Hound and Arya apparently starved in a year without the Hound stealing any food from them ? Why didn't they get help from the lords of the Vale who were untouched by the war ?
They were impressed at how in a mere seven years he went from not understanding how loans work to being master of coin
The Iron Banks lost its right because they backed Cersei and there's like 1000 survivors in the entire six kingdoms. Can't be that hard to be in charge of finances.
Gendry is useful since he has Baratheon blood. The most prominent house of the Stormlands would immediately send their most attractive unwed young woman to marry him and then rule in his name.
Bronn is fucked though.
This.
>Oh wow Jon stabbed Dany because she gave a speech in a language he can't understand

>Then whatever the fuck this abomination of a scene was
youtube.com
It just got so bad that it was practically unbelievable by the end
You forgot that in the series, the seven kingdoms are only inhabited by the main characters
And only the kingdoms in which the main characters reside actually exist at any given moment.
> Season 1: Westeros population => 6000000
Ahah Summer was so long and good we can afford losing some of the peasantry to winter or wars
> Season 8: Westeros population => 10000
Ok we might have went too far in few places
Which, let's be honest, already happened, and that's why there is a noname presumed brother-in-law in stormland kind of clothes sitting next to him being a de-facto ruler of stormlands.
dont forget
>bastard child of bran's father's best friend who is in love with bran's sister and whose legitimacy relies on having someone friendly on the throne
fuck it all just sounds like a joke ending you would find on youtube or SNL
You have to remember that the majority of the viewers were turbo-casuals that maybe knew half a dozen characters names. They would watch an episode, laugh at the quips, feel sad when the score told them to feel sad, and then turn off the episode at the end and promptly stop thinking about it until next week. Then, off the minority of the viewers that actually paid attention and thought/talked about the show with others, a large fraction just did so to be social. Those kinds of people aren't going to start trashing the show when it risks people in their social circles going full "you're just an autistic, misogynistic man-child." So they'll downplay their distaste.
Yeah, they probably started hurling eligible bachelorettes at him as soon as Dany's fleet arrived at Dragonstone.
It depends on how much Cersei and then Daenerys genocided them. I mean, we are in a fanfic territory, Cersei might as well have killed every house that was loyal to Tyrels, and then for all we know Dany dragonfired every house loyal to Cersei. Reach can be mess of banditry, petty robber barons and general scum and villany.
If Bron comes in with a contingent of come riverlands or kings lands soldiers and getting rid of general lawlessness (and he might, within reason, be good at dealing with fellow low-lifes) he might actually get away with it. As he said, every noble house was started by a guy who was just good at killing for his king.
>jon we dont want to kill you but this foreigner with no dick really wants to cut your head off so we're going to exile you to the night's watch despite the fact that the north has just ceded and we have no power over it at all
>oh also this dickless cunt and his army of dickless cunts will be fucking back off to their side of the world so there is no real reason to actually give you the boot because everyone loves you except for the queen of shit island who is for some reason incredibly loyal to the dragon slut despite being a pillaging raping literal pirate whose rule and rights won't be contested by the new crown
I wrote off GOT part way through season 7 and am still flabbergasted about just how terribly they ended it all
you could see the sickness as far back as season 5 but I don't think anyone could have predicted they would have shat out such a terrible ending
>bastard child of bran's father's best friend
Think Robert Baratheon was a bit more powerful than "Bran's father's best friend" m8
Honestly I'm kind of proud that they scrounged up a worse ending than "Dany and Jon marry and live happily ever after as king and queen of Westeros, ushering in a new golden age of peace and prosperity" like a lot of people expected.
Drogon is still on the loose, and he's the only one who's had any success dealing with that death beast
literal retards wrote jon's ending
>duuhhhh jon gets happy ending and gets to be free beyond da wall
>duty? honor? responsibility? every trait built into him since his birth, uhhhhhh....HE DUN WON IT
It just so happens that the "Disney ending" is also the correct ending for Jon. He sacrifices love for the good of the people and to do what's right. You know, what he's been doing the entire show? He doesn't want the crown, but he reluctantly takes it because that's his duty and his unfortunate responsibility.
D&D ended it because they want Disney sheckles and instead of handing control off to someone else they killed the golden goose
Some of you retards really needs to have sex. The show is over just stop
>How dare you go on a board dedicated to movies and television and talk about movies and television?
GRRM wrote jon's ending you stupid idiot
that's the "bittersweet" part he always talks about
jon is exiled for being a kingslayer and kinslayer
it'll just make way more sense because the rest of TWOW and ADOS will be leading up to it with an actual plot
>implying the book series will ever be finished
lmao just lmao
what is the Nights Watch suppose to do now? the wall has a hole, the White Walkers are dead, and the wildlings are friendly now
>we'll always need somewhere to banish people do
great, banishing a bunch of thieves and rapists to a place far from supervision where they get military training and weapons and have fuck all do to all day
it's like Australia but worse
the point is that he has an invested stake in bran being king
excuse me if i don't believe that. in the behind the episode segment for The Long Night, D&D talk about how they know exactly what was going to happen with the Others / White Walkers and intentionally changed it to something completely different
Yeah that was mindbogglingly retarded.
>Grey Worm "punishes" Jon by sending him to rejoin the Watch, an organisation that Jon formerly ran and seems to have accepted working for.
Is house Lannister extinct? I mean Tyrion survived but will he continue the House by making heirs?
They're basically giving Jon an army and with the Others gone a perfectly safe kingdom along the wall. Idk where the punishment part comes in.
>it's like Australia but worse
heh
>Nights Watch turns into cold Australia
>Night's Watch rangers running around raping and pillaging everything
>Northerners have to build a second wall just south of the first one to keep out the Coldstralians
yeah because the others/white walkers arent part of the ending hence being killed off halfway through the season
grrm said all the beats of the ending would be the same, but the journey to them would be different
e.g. the night king killing viserion rather than euron stealing viserion with dragonbinder
yes the biggest kingdom of the seven with a population of 100000+ people somehow magically have all people disappear overnight so bronn can be high lord. meanwhile the north has been ravaged by two wars and a zombie invasion with a full standing army at the end. ebin 10/10 writing would hire for star wars
>10 years from now
>westeros is in complete shambles from being ruled by complete retards
>far north ruled by strong and smart men who have a sense of freedom
>northern shits trying to escape salsa's stupid ass
>tfw
Thanks for the you. I'm going to masturbate now
and also that some minor characters would have different endings, so bronn/grey worm, probably arya and the rest of the new lords
Link to that parody video?
>Jon showing up at the wall like
It would have made more sense if Bronn became lord of Casterly rock. He is just like Lann who was originally a scoundrel and cutthroat when he founded house Lannister.
It was originally a tweet but I guess someone put it on youtube too
youtube.com
this is good since tyrion is going to live in kings landing and probably doesn't want anything to do with the aristocracy anymore
>ironbabbies dabbed on one last time, presumably all deported to the Riverlands to serve as a race of thralls in perpetuity for their crimes
Based Bran, based Radmure
Family, Duty, Waves
That’s why they offered eunuchs to repopulate it.
I’m sure they will all work together when they elect a king among themselves.
absolutely lost it at the iron islands part
pictured: edmure tully after defeating the shit stained rocks
bronn is the master of coin and would also live in king's landing though. on that note what do you think his house sigil would be? i'm thinking something like those mudflap girls
20 good lannister men managed to wipe out the entire reach
>only women and children are left there, because the armies got exterminated
imagine the pussy
Greedy kikes couldn’t even have the decency to hand over the reins to someone else. And now their career is tainted by S8 and stuck on a sinking ship that is Star Wars with roundhead johnson
Would a midget really be able to be a lord though? He would never garner the respect needed and couldn't reproduce without destroying his name and lineage turning the family into a line of dwarves.
>Ser Twendi Gudmen
>wildling kids all have targ blood
honestly after the botched ending and all the baggage their name carries now I wouldn't be surprised to see the mouse weaseling it's way out of their fancy contracts
their failure is plastered over every corner of the internet and likely will never move beyond this
they'll live to regret smothering the cash cow
don't dwarves have like a 75% shot of not producing more dwarves? assuming they're paired with a normal human?
Benioff and Weiss will get their just desserts...as much as rich Hollywood elites can.
Benioff's dad is some high-level Wall Street banker, that's how he got this job in the first place. He's untouchable.
Technically yes, but since Daenerys somehow made them all her bloodriders they are also forced to hunt down and kill him first.
oh. nevermind.
good for davos. good for him.
of course not, noble houses have huge families to prevent shit like that. there's going to be plenty of cousins and whatnot who will rise up now.
That’s seems pretty accurate to what would happen.
It's not really shown in the show, but it is brought up constantly in the books how many people were getting killed and how much of the land was being ruined by the constant fighting.
I would honestly not be surprised if Westeros is like France after WWI, where one out of every four men was killed, but worse
Tyrion is the only survivor. All of kevans kids are dead and no others have been mentioned
Tyrek is still missing after the ACOK riot and Jaime thinks Varys might have abducted him
Does Jaime, the borderline retard, actually think that or is it just a fan theory?
Yet afterward, alone in the tower room he had been offered for the night, Jaime found himself wondering. Tyrek had served King Robert as a squire, side by side with Lancel. Knowledge could be more valuable than gold, more deadly than a dagger. It was Varys he thought of then, smiling and smelling of lavender. The eunuch had agents and informers all over the city. It would have been a simple matter for him to arrange to have Tyrek snatched during the confusion . . . provided he knew beforehand that the mob was like to riot. And Varys knew all, or so he would have us believe. Yet he gave Cersei no warning of that riot. Nor did he ride down to the ships to see Myrcella off.
that's not how medieval warfare works. you don't have the mobilization of nations
Literally none of this is actually stated by the show. We have zero reason to think Dorne has a particular issue with anything. We have no reason to think Edmure gives a single fucking shit about Sansa putting him in his place.
Stop letting Yea Forums memes influence your actual understanding of the story.
>I would honestly not be surprised if Westeros is like France after WWI, where one out of every four men was killed, but worse
Medieval warfare didn't work that way. Mass conscription of the general population weren't a thing until after the French Revolution.
>Gendry was beaten up by Stannis loyalists and thrown in a ditch
kek
Why Jon and that other guy were revived by the God of fire if no one of them has any role in killing The Ice King (the undead leader)?
WTF i just watched?
beric saved arya who kills the night king
jon was the one who took the north from the boltons so that they could unite and fight the undead
Oh...so this god of fire was the multidimensional chess player meme incarnated.
Jon and Dany's alliance was the only reason the Night King has a dragon to cross the wall with
It's also the reason Jon is alive
The 30 year war devastated Germany not only through military losses, but through the civilian losses from famines, plundering, disease, yet there were still hundreds of thousands of Germans left.
Also Stannis recognized him as Robert son in Dragonstone in season 3, so if there are presumibly still some Stannismen loyalists around the Stormlands they can confirm the kid is legit
Bronn will probably assassinated by Reachlords within months yes. They not only were the only ones to lost their main house, but nobody from the Reach was present at Brann'election (Sam was there as neutral maester). So why they should obey him?
huh this review has some decent keks
in.style.yahoo.com
>GoT used to be a politically dark show with heaps of mysticism and intrigue. It now remains a mere shell of its past glory.
Bronn is right, but this apply especially in pre-feudal eras, where giving land and titles is easy. In a full feudalized society every inch of land belong to some centuries old dynasty, and almost all their neighboroods have some blood claim on it thanks to marriages. Landing of nameless soldiers in Europe basically stopped after 11th Century as the social classes started become rigid
Not to mention said group also proclaimed Jon as their king during the celebration of beating the NK and friends.
And that Greyworm and his noodlefriends went to a lethal island and is probably gonna die because of it.
