lol if you think that this was planned way back in s1. They had to make up the whole "Septon journals" plot and have the literal script's avatar confirm it just because they either forgot or decided not to include the one character that was present at the Tower of Joy and is still alive to confirm Jon's parentage. Jon's parentage reveal has been very clumsily handled in the show, which is quite shocking since that's the very reason D&D even got the greenlight to make the show. Jon standing in front of Ned's tomb when Sam reveals this was something coincidental rather than D&D's 8 year master plan finally paying off

esperterra posted:Does anyone on the show ever actually call her Dany? Maybe Viserys at some point in S1? Visery calls her Dany when pleading for his life. And if I'm not mistaken Jon calls her Dany after the dragon rescue, but it came out of nowhere and it was super awkward

Phenotype posted:Is this a serious argument that you don't think the series could have been plotted better if they knew where they were going the whole time? If I were D&D and knew ahead of time that the gurm was never gonna finish his series, I would have cut from the start all the inconsequential plots that went nowhere (Dany loving around Qarth and Mereen too. The Sand Snakes plot could still be salvageable) Remove Stannis, introduce Victarion instead. Have Balon in his demented ideas of grandeur attempt to strike both the North and King's Landing at once while the Starks and Lannister are busy fighting. Send Victarion to protagonize the Blackwater Battle. (or alternatively don't introduce Victarion and have Balon do something and lead the attack himself) Euron sneaks back from Valyria and is the one that uses magic to kill Renly causing the Tyrells to join forces with the Lannister and screw up the plans of his brother, setting up his election for the Kingsmoot. Instead of Stannis attacking Mance Rayder's camp, have the WW do it, forcing Mance Rayder and the free folk to retreat and fortify in Hardhome. This sets up the possibility for negotiations with Jon Snow (I give you passage through the Wall if you help me with this bastard prick) The only thing left to settle is where Melisandre comes from to resurrect Jon. Or just scrap her too. Have Bran do it. Give Bran something to do instead of handing cryptic pieces of trivia in the Winterfell patio Also while you are at it, either tone down Ramsay or ham him up even more and have the Boltons be actual vampires. It would at least explain his shirtless victory against Yara. lezard_valeth fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Apr 20, 2019 |

Cymoril posted:So, which episode do you think will be the one where we have a significant bodycount of characters who matter? I was hoping for at least one or two to be murdered in the first episode, but alas. None. The only main characters that will 99% die will be Cersei and a toss up between either Jon or Daenerys. Jaime has a 50/50 chance of either pull a vindicating heroic sacrifice or survive. Euron will die, but I do not consider him a main character. Tyrion, Arya and Sansa are safe. Bran will either survive or ascend to a higher plane of existence. The Hound had his reunion with Arya so he is dead. Varys is not a main character, so he is dead. Bonus points if as he is dieing he realises the voice he heard when his cock was burned were the Others, but D&D probably forgot about this. Beric is living on borrowed time for a long while now, so he is dead. Brienne has high chance of surviving. Tormund has high chance of dieing. TriPod will gently caress the Night King to death.

beanieson posted:The hound & Jamie are for sure dead, the two of them have the best over all character arc going from lovely to heroic, so now it’s time to die heroically Jaime's whole arc is 99% perfect and I just wished they wouldn't have had Tyrion pull the "Go on I dare you motherfucker" on Cersei first last season cause it lessened the impact when Jaime did it. TheRat posted:They've been setting up Tyrion going gently caress Dany for a while now, so I sincerely doubt he's safe. I too believed that, but now I cannot see how they will pull it off, since Jaime has come to spill the beans that Cersei is not coming, and Bran has been right there all along, so unless he is Dr. Strangeing the whole thing there is no reason why he hasn't said "Oh, btw, this guy is planning to betray us". Or maybe Bran's character is just a troll now lezard_valeth fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Apr 20, 2019 |

I liked Stannis in s2, but that's mostly on Stephen Dillane. Specially the scene where he is writing the letter about Joffrey, I loved his delivery. Also my friends and I loved that he was the first King contender to be shown charging in the front ranks (considering Robb's battles were cut off) After s2 Stannis became super boring. He is boring in the books too and his only saving grace is that his story is told from Davos' PoV, and Davos is a really cool character.

Taear posted:Because in the book there's a shitload more character development for both of them. That's basically it. I read Storm of Swords like 10 years ago, so I might be misremembering, but I think you are slightly overexagerating with the Mountain getting a shitload more of character development. He is just a really tall and really strong guy who murders, rapes or both whoever gets in his way when he is feeling pissy.

I haven't watched tonight's episode yet so maybe she got better, but last week I cringed so hard when the little poo poo stood up to the person that brought 2 armies and 2 dragons to bail their asses from certain doom and went "wE BoW 2 jOn snUH, nO u" like if she didn't have fan armor, that would have been where Dany has her burned down on the spot.

No Wave posted:Gendry was kind of handsome back in the day. Unfortunate they made him look all shaven and gross and constantly surprised. Maybe the scene would have gone down better if there was anything appealing about him left and he didnt look like the most generic GoT extra possible. See, this is my problem with the scene too. I don't give a crap about Masie Williams. Gendry was hot back in season 1-2, then he dissapeared for 3 seasons, and now he looks like he is 40 years old. I checked the actor's instagram and he's still handsome, so I guess they went for the "homeless disease ridden old man" look for the show.

PostNouveau posted:I would really like to know what the gently caress is so special about the Three-Eyed Raven that the Others can't help but try to kill him. So far, just seems like it's some dude who can see everything. Not sure how that's a big threat to the Others. I asked the same thing, and apparently it's because he can tattle tale on the NK's doing, and he likes his privacy. I mean if I had an army of literal hundreds of thousands that obey my every order (and said army most likely increases with every raid) and also a giant zombie ice dragon I wouldn't care much about strategy and tactical warfare and would just resort to zerg rush the tree hugging nerds Maybe it will be revealed that the Three-Eyed Raven has some other kind of power, or the time paradox theory will turn out to be right but I still got my doubts on this last one.

Ok, finished episode, this is probably the last """character development""" stretch we will get, so now I can finally decide who I want in the spin off series: -Tormund -Jaime -Brienne -Pod -Davos The rest of the characters can die next episode and series end there. Spin off starts with the band travelling to Mereen going "boy, that was a close call, I'm so glad we managed to get out". Upon arriving they find out that Daario managed to establish a state of democracy and the city is prospering.

Hobo Clown posted:Dragons can still be killed so flying alone to King's Landing is pretty much a guaranteed suicide mission even if he manages to cause some damage first. It would be a real bonehead move for the Night King to split his forces just so he can swerve us, the audience. the dragon IS dead. the only way cersei could kill it if the NK really did try to zerg rush KL is with either dragonglass scorpion arrows (rare) or valyrian steel arrows (super rare). Then again, she has Qyburn on his side. Dude probably halfway developing wyldfire nukes for all we know
