If Cersei were to somehow "win" then she gets a continent where every loving kingdom hates her guts and has a small army that can't possibly hold all of it together. It would be perpetual civil war or most of the kingdoms would simply declare independence. She is also EXTREMELY in debt. What does she sell; the dragon corpse to the Iron Bank?

Now that the ending got leaked is it safe to assume FYAD will spoil it in the coming days? Is it time for a self imposed Something Awful Exile?

Also she gives tax money to the bank as is established

That Italian Guy posted:^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is only cause book Varys supports a Targaryen who's not in the show, and they have to get him to the same ending the book will have. Too bad Varys has been supporting this other dude forever in the books, instead of suddenly realizing the Dragon Queen is literally Hitler out of the blue at -2.5h from the end of the show. Edgar Allen Ho posted:But in the booooooooooooks  This is such an annoying shtick. If you'd bother to read the post instead of being triggered by the word "book", you may have realized what the point of it was (spoiler: it's "D&D have to reconcile each character's ending with what's going to happen to them in the books, even if they'll have to twist the existing material to fit").

It’s important to remember that the disappointment of the fourth book turned a bunch of people into internet hate-wraiths who actively told more people to read the books, slowly pushing them towards the same hopeless wrath that they felt during hundreds of pages about darkstar and Doran. Now that the show is insanely popular, GRRM actually found a way to spread this sickness into the real world by manipulating the low iq D&D into botching their own show, infecting everyone from blue checkmarks on twitter to the nice old lady at your office. He won’t finish the books and when he dies the true long night will descend upon us, the death of pop culture. We were the wights all along and GRRM is the night king. And there’s no Arya to save us.

Also gently caress off everyone involved in producing this show at this point, they are so up their asses they are incapable of accepting they can make mistakes at all "the episode was not too dark, you are a hobo and have a lovely tv" "we weren't saving budget by having the characters not interact with the CGI, we thought it was more emotional that way" "it was not fanservice, you are an 8 year old idiot who thinks stories should have a theme and you just had your expectations S U B V E R T E D!" I am going to go watch the Sonic movie twice out of respect for the director being mature enough to own up to the backlash lezard_valeth fucked around with this message at 22:09 on May 7, 2019 |

They're leaning properly into "dany is a loving maniac" so I am totally okay if they deal with Cersei next week and then the Mad Queen is the end boss of the series. Sansa can do it. Smash her face in. Just. Like. This.

They ever say why the show decided a few seasons ago to only go with CGI wolves instead of the usual mix with practical fx/real dogs? They would've used the same amount of CGI to do the more standard thing with CGI wide shots and close ups of Jon interacting with puppet/big dog. I suppose that requires more planning and hand waving it to post is the simpler course. I dunno why the wolves needed to get so big anyway. Making the wolves top out at whatever the biggest dog they could use is a far more insignificant change than the routine changes they make from the book.

Chalks posted:"We thought the scenes of Sansa and Tyrion fighting zombies in the crypt would be much more powerful if we cut out the entire fighting part" Jon's family's reaction to the fact that A) He really is a Stark; B) He's not a bastard; C) He's been hated all his life by their mother / his aunt based on a lie; D) He's the heir to the Iron Throne; E) He's been banging his other aunt; has happened entirely off screen too. Much more powerful that way. It's not like these are 30% of the remaining protagonists, or that these themes have been central to the story for years.

This was clearly written before the show, but it's still funnyquote:"As a child I looked up to my grandfather. I loved visiting him at his house in the country, spending a weekend during summer helping him with the yard and the chickens, and in return he would cook up a grand feast and tell me stories of his adventurous youth. As I nibbled on a piping hot lemoncake he would tell me about his days in the military. He flew fighter jets, even as technology was moving towards drones. The last generation of sky cowboys. He was proud of his exploits, even though he tried to hide it, like the tattoo on his upper bicep. Every time the ace the words 'wild cards' was visible he would pull down his sleeve. I always assumed it was the name of his squadron. Instead of Maverick he was Ace, his wingman was Joker, King, and so on. I wondered if they skipped Queen but I never asked.
