Titan Man Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 4 minutes ago, Ozymandias said: I don't know. But even if GOT shits the bed in these last 2 episodes, I'd still probably have overall good memories of the show. Seasons 1-4 and 6 are what I'd call top tier TV. I just really, really hope they don't fuck up Cleganebowl. Hmm, I think bad final chapters are worse for shows than they're for movies. For instance, many people dislike TLJ, but they don't need to watch it, they have the OT which doesn't demand the sequels to be seen. However, a TV show is always going towards its finale, and a bad one can seriously degrade the rest of the show. I mean, several people I've talked with said that if they knew that the finale of HIMYM would be so bad, they would never watch the show. Same goes for this one, if the finale indeed turns out to be bad, then it will seriously ruin the rewatchability factor for me as I don't wanna watch a show that is speeding towards a disaster. Also, what was everyone's problem with Season 5? The Snake bitches were awful, but the rest was as good as the rest of the show for me. Maybe I can't really differentiate the seasons as I've only discovered the show two years ago, so I binged the first 6 seasons in 2 weeks, but all in all, I thought it was good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I'm gonna make some predictions that are probably wrong: -Greyworm fights the The Mountain and dies. -Arya is about to kill Cersei in disguise but is intercepted by The Mountain and dies -The Hound kills The Mountain -Jaimie kills Cersei -Jon kills Mad Queen Dany 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutter: I think that’s very true, exactly what you’re saying. WHYYYY. I went on a JOURNEY with him. And now you're just going to undo seven seasons of character development, for what? What is the point? Who came up with this shit? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wouldn’t read into interviews. They aren’t going to tell you “Yes, Jaime is going to kill Cersei”, because that would give away a plot point. I think this episode is supposed to be ambiguous about the motivation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look I know we don't want to bring "that movie" into this thread but if you think about it is a valid comparison. If you do not think so that is your personal subjective opinion then any breaking of rules. What is happening with game of thrones is subversion but badly written subversion.

Moving discussion away from that movie and that director... Yeah it is true that directors make movies that sometimes do not go the way that fans think so. Some of us think we should just respect what they did. However I look at what the Russo brothers did and they clearly subverted expectations but the story choices they made led to something far better I think than a lot of the fan theories. In my opinion it shows the superior writing skills compared to the Game of Thrones writers for season 8.

Idk why TLJ is the one you continue to harp on about. Because that film is the gold-standard about subverting expectations for the better or for the worst. Forbes wrote an article about comparing the third episode to that movie for crying out loud and they are quite a few other mainstream articles mentioning that movie in comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oMeriMombatti Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Missandei knew she was going to die anyway so when Cersie came to her asking her any last words why didn't she grab her and tried to push her through the cliff or fall with her. Atleast try something like that, you're going to die anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
