I don’t even know what to say because if all the leaks are true nothing I post is really safe. I’ll just have to do my very best to keep talking as if I haven’t read any of them.
I get there’s all this adrenaline pumping through the soldiers during a scene like this but I’ve never understood why any of them would waste their time going after civilians. Like I don’t get how your frame of mind can go that far into being so chill with blatant slaughter. There’s no ambiguity to it at all lol
Both Jamie and Dany kinda make sense to me. Jamie always loved Cersei. He didn't actually love Brienne in the same way he loved Cersei. In the end he couldn't quit her. Dany, like you said, the paranoia played into it. She knew she couldn't get the people of Westeros to love her, so she had to make them fear her. I just wish they had a couple more episodes so the changes didn't feel like such whiplash.
Oh, I’m serious. I thought the ep 2 weeks ago was the ultimate battle and the remaining eps would be the conclusion
It was truly a spectacle and I mean that in a good way, but there’s so much here that I thought was done poorly there’s really no point right now. For some reason even though it’s not the most egregious point, I’m so annoyed by them all of the sudden making a dragon completely fucking unstoppable again after spending so much stupid silly time showing us they aren’t as much of a point of dominance as we all thought. At least write consistently.
His last line about “I’m the man who killed Jaime Lannister!” was so fucking lame lol. Such a fitting way for his arc to end
There is at least one way I can think of that can happen in order to redeem it for me in the end...fingers crossed. I do feel bad about Jamie’s arc.
Remember back several pages where there was that idiotic reddit theory about there being multiple dragons? I swear to god it’s like people don’t even bother watching the show lol
yeah. the consistency was probably my biggest concern. Also it didn't really feel like the battle for winterfell actually took much of a toll on dany's army. She still had an army of unsullied. She still somehow had a bunch of dothraki. Just felt kinda lazy.
It wasn’t guaranteed she would go mad. It would’ve been better narratively imo if she hadn’t but this is the route they chose to go so it is what it is.
there was a route to Dany going mad that would have been acceptable, but her descent taking place over the course of an episode and a half is disrespectful as hell to a character they built up as a liberator for like 8 years
