At first it's like "Whoa, my favorite character died, no one is safe!" Then it's like, "Yeah, I'm not getting attached to this character, he's defo going to get thrown out a window." loving Hot Pie's buddy is going to end up being the Emperor of Wangs at this point, he'll be the only one left.

mind the walrus posted:Hahaha holy poo poo get a load of you. I just think it's hilarious between the posters actively admitting they have never read the book but feel qualified to comment on it (that was in the other thread just now) and the posters acting like HBO's crazy megapopular TV show is actually complete poo poo. It's poo poo and they hate it but somehow there's multiple GoT threads with tens of pages each. Get over it assholes it's fine to consume media that isn't literary masterworks once in a while to unwind.

Why do all the starving peasants in this series look suspiciously like big, healthy, well-groomed American actors. They should have imported some real starving peasants from the 3rd world to make it properly realistic.

how many inconsequential dirt cities is daenerys going to emancipate slaves in during this season? i think 6 but maybe 7 the joke here is that daenerys' plot line is a literal garbage can

Would've been great if they crowdsurfed her to a giant pile of dog doo and dropped her in it then she rolls around and does the Charlie brown "augh!" and jorah goes to her and slips on a banana peel

How did they cast so many extras who are the exact same color? Did they dose them in Cheeto juice or something?

hm. Those are fair points. I guess I kinda felt like the reasoning behind them being "brown people" was more of a "hey audience, look how different this culture on the other side of the world is!!! they even have a different color skin!!!" and less of a "lol brown people are savages"

The show just makes it seem like straight white savior racism plot for quite a while.

I said come in! posted:imperialist white girl saves the savages was the funniest moment of Game of Thrones. I was watching the show with someone and when this scene came on we just kind of stared at each other and made that weird whistling sound through our teeth that your mechanic makes to let you know something very expensive is about to happen.
