Taear posted:Also someone earlier asked if there's been another show where the programme was made faster than the source material and there was a good article on Kotaku about that and Fullmetal Alchemist. It's interesting because the show got remade after the ending of the manga and the ending was (according to the article) a shitload better because the manga writer was better at doing it than the show writers. I enjoyed the Naruto route where they spent around two years producing filler episodes waiting for the manga to get ahead. Imagine two years (well four in this case) of Karl Fookin' Tanner and Ironborn rescue capers before triumphantly finishing with GRRM's true published vision.

YaketySass posted:I like how Cersei made him the Hand because oh yeah that guy's still here. Was there even a scene in which she named him hand? I just remember noticing that he was wearing the brooch at one point. If there's one thing that the transition from the adaptation to the fanfic sequel does it's make huge locations feel tiny and empty. They took a city of a million people and reduced its named population to three (one of whom is a zombie).

not a bot posted:I'm not sure if a death of a dragon can even be considered a spoiler at this point since we've seen the war machines designed to murder dragons way too many times and they haven't done anything yet. Hey Bronn used one to kill that one guy. Calling it now: Cersei points the machine at Drogon and fires the last arrow in King's Landing. It flies past the dragon and into the distance. Daenerys smirks and taunts her for missing. Cersei smiles and says "...Did I?" Cut to Winterfell where Bran is impaled against the Weirwood. Westeros is saved.

She said we need to hear more WOC critics in the space rather than the same old white male voices and she was 100% correct. Being a white male reviewer doesn't mean you have to 'call her out' on it. Just let other people speak for once in your loving life.

pepito sanchez posted:If Bran had a tree up in Old Valyria he'd know all kinds of cool magic and awesome forms of government. With his vast memory of the world, the furthest back we got was "Oh, the little elf girls created white walkers. Dayum." Still confident the last shot of the show will be Bran smiling at the chaos he sowed by lying about Jon's parentage. Turns out only Dany and her dragons could've stopped the Army of the Forest come Spring.

The actor playing Euron just comes across like a nice dude, really. It's hard to believe he's doing the things he's doing. Whereas Ramsay was very clearly a monster hiding behind a thin veneer of friendliness which just made him scarier. If they wanted to nail Euron they needed to find someone who could pull off a seriously sinister look. If they wanted to nail Victarion they needed a god drat viking. Instead they went with a teddy bear.

No Wave posted:Euron's actor is not the problem. Ok the character would be funnier if he were absolutely hideous but that's not his fault. Oh 100%. I just think it's a shame that the didn't even get the basics of what the fucker looked like right. I can't really think of anyone in the first three seasons who looks hugely different to how they're described. Jorah a bit but he's well cast otherwise.

They make him look like the guy you'd wake up and find drunkenly groping the wooden mermaid on the bow of the ship. Yeah but that guy doesn't kill dragons. Man I wish they at least gave him a horn and just said it drives the dragons temporarily mad or something.

Yeah usually I'm up for shows keeping their season length tight but both this and season 7 really needed a full ten episodes. Given how few fucks D&D seem to give, was it just a matter of them wanting to do less work? I'm sure HBO would've forked out for a full run.

DrVenkman posted:1) That GRRM told them the ending in as much as it was supposedly just a rough idea and wasn't sketched out much more than that. I honestly think they went into this believing GRRM would be further along by this point than he was The thing is I can totally see GRRM telling them the events that he has planned for the ending. But he didn't tell them the 2,000+ pages of how, why and who - because he hadn't written most of it yet. It's the interweaving narrative and character development that makes this series special - not big battles and dragon CGI. And that's something D&D simply don't have the skill to replicate. e: Boardwalk Empire seasons 1-3 are stellar and the rest is still pretty loving good. stev fucked around with this message at 07:56 on May 8, 2019 |

I love Armando Iannucci but I never really enjoyed what I saw of Veep. It's the old 'dry British humour reimagined for a US audience' issue. It rarely results in something not at least a little awkward.

Raccooon posted:While we are on the subject of HBO shows, I have never watched The Wire. There's a core group of characters but each season focuses on a different sector of the city, which each carry their own characters. Some are consistent throughout the series and others are one-offs. It's so beautifully written that it never feels jarring though. It's great, watch it.

I feel like that would've been a mostly really good episode 9 of a well paced season. What the gently caress did they do to Jaime and Cersei though. How was that a proper ending to that story.

Yeah that would make sense if it had happened at the end of season 1 and Jaime didn't have that decade of character development. Hands of gold are always cold.

I get people enjoy dunking on woke takes but the episode does very little to dissuade you from the 'women be crazy emotional yo' message that people are upset about. I've always believed that Daenerys would eventually turn on Westeros but I'd like to think GRRM had a bit more than 'everybody betray me I fed up with this world' in mind. And it absolutely comes across as sexist.

Dany has always been a power hungry dictator but it's still out of character for her to slaughter a million innocent people for no reason. Both can be true. e: I'd argue that they had plenty of time which they wasted, and could easily have had more time but chose not to.
