I thought this episode was absolutely fantastic. It was nonstop relationship and story payoff. People waited eight seasons to see Jon Snow ride a dragon and then complained that it was a waste of time.

Roland Jones posted:Is there something I'm missing? I'm pretty sure that Jon is not actually the heir to the Iron Throne; he joined the Night's Watch and formally forsook any claim he had to any crowns ever. The line of succession should skip over him. Just like it skipped over, you know, the other Targaryen in the Night's Watch.

I'm re-watching this episode and I really don't understand how people can say nothing happened. It's non-stop characters interacting who haven't interacted in years, if at all ever. It's amazing.

Phenotype posted:The thing to remember is that in Westeros, people aren't ever really that intelligent. Remember when Sam cured Jorah's greyscale, and the maester asks him how he did it, and he's like "Well, I read the instructions in the book and did what it told me to" and the maester is like "omg we never thought of that!" The maester was like, "yo, we've thought of that and this should've killed you and we're not going to reward your stupidity just because it worked." Some of y'all are really bad at watching television.

I gotta' tell ya', after re-watching the series, I had this moment when Dany lays waste to all of the Khals, and all the Dothraki bow to the magic loving fire queen who just killed their rulers, and I had this twinge in the back of my mind where this little voice went, "remember how you spent days arguing with dumbasses who couldn't understand why the people would bow to the person who just killed their leaders in the society where killing the leader makes you the leader and also she walked out of loving fire?" and I was like, "yeah, I do remember that, and I wish I wasn't having this passing thought right now because it's distracting me a little bit from this awesome moment." I really am a glutton for punishment to still be doing this.

Between Star Wars, Marvel, Game of Thrones, and every other fantasy IP, I am all the way fed up with folks acting like a show not doing exactly what they thought should happen, or adhering to some bullshit "I studied the blade" tactical realism meaning it's bad." Cinema Sins is terrible and you're all bad at consuming media.

D-Pad posted:The will he/won't he Bronn v. Tyrion chat confuses me. It's pretty obvious this is going to be where Bronn says "remember when you told me if anybody ever paid me to kill you that you would double the price? Well now is that moment" Unless that happened, then we'd complain for several pages.

Zaphod42 posted:Again, Cersei said she'd pay Bronn up front. Almost like this is exactly what they want us to be wondering. And to whoever compared CinemaSins to MST3K? Wow. No. One instils in grognard chuds the idea that good writing is bad writing and the other lovingly pokes fun at bad films. What sets them apart mostly, though, is how much damage their respective fanbases have wrought upon film discourse.

Vintersorg posted:These same complaints always come up in the first episode. The pieces are being set up again - we’ll get some major stuff right away it looks like. I used to think this, when I was more optimistic, was because different people think different things. But I remember these people now. And they take positions diametrically opposed to previous ones the week after.

If somebody told the first half of a really good story at a dinner party, then stopped and said they'd tell you later, and then never did, you'd feel like they wasted your time. Now imagine that story was several books long.

They never said how long it took to get anywhere, but since nobody disappeared for six episodes while they sailed somewhere, everybody assumed they were teleporting, rather than the more obvious "nothing loving interesting happened while they were traveling."

Tom Gorman posted:I think its more that a lot of characters in the show early on were shown to be very clever and cunning. But now they're just dipshits and miss things like a huge fleet of ships coming right at them and about 20 other extremely obvious things. So, a thing that was introduced a long time ago and proved ineffective paid off from a narrative standpoint. Something TVIV people are terrible at recognizing because CinemaSins has convinced people that media illiteracy is just as good as media literacy.

Why should we ever worry about narrative satisfaction when we can just point out that Luke, Han, and Leia aren't wet after they soaked themselves in the trash compactor so we can feel superior to people who dared to not care about that?

Snark aside, this episode really took its time to close off some things that've been simmering and threatening to boil for a while, and I enjoyed every bit of it. I feel the same way about this that I did the end of Lost, in that I was emotionally satisfied with how it dealt with the things I cared about and showed up to witness people kvetching about things that were either answered for me satisfactorily or didn't need answering. And I'm sorry for being snarky about it. But seriously, gently caress Cinema Sins. Imagine if MST3K didn't have a good heart and was just out to prove it was better than everybody else. There's a reason they kept the B Movie production values after they had an actual budget.

Irony Be My Shield posted:To me "subverting expectations" is more about arriving at a conclusion that wasn't obvious, but which on reflection does make sense given what came before. For the most part Game of Thrones is sticking to obvious plot beats, it's just framing them in really stupid ways. For example, it's not really surprising that the anti-dragon weapon which was introduced last season killed Dany's wounded dragon. However the actual scene involved an entire fleet snipe-ambushing a dragon by hiding behind a rock. But, uh... you've got me here. That definitely could've been handled better.

As it stands, it would take at least three more episodes, if not a whole other season, to properly wrap up everything that's been set up, but lol we only have like 80 minutes to go.

I said come in! posted:Thankfully Star Wars is already at rock bottom. Or did you mean the movie about the mediocre white guy that didn't do nearly as well as the movie where women and POC took center stage? Anyway, I'm betting none of the spinoffs conclude. Prequels are terrible. People want to know what happens next. Not what happened before the thing they already cared about.

If Star Wars came out this year, there'd be countless Youtube videos about what a Mary Sue Princess Leia was. Also, this finale was better than the last four eps.
