Noble (7/8)

  1. I hate how D&D's fanfic has set some kind of expectations amongst fans that Jon and Daenerys should absolutely meet, fall in love and blablabla. To me it's always been clear that Jon and Daenerys are not compatible characters, Jon hates Axell Florent for allowing his brother to be burnt alive without doing a thing to prevent it, Daenerys isn't into brooding bastards Daario couldn't be more of an extreme opposite to Jon Snow Likewise I'm not a fan of characters stealing someone else's narrative arc with no build up whatsoever to it, which is why I think Jon's parentage ultimately won't matter that much at least not when it comes to who will sit on the iron throne, Jon's focus is on the Night's Watch and his character arc requires him to face the others and the Night King, not conquer the North or Westeros and rule over it.
  2. It's the best episode so far, they finally dropped the act and showcased Dany's true colors, she's never been right about anything in her life, everything she did from season 1 up to now was filled with madness and arrogance. The worst way they could have ended this show is by having the kind and gentle good ruler Daenerys sits on the throne uncontested Now I hope she'll die and that it'll be by Jon's hand
  3. Martin uses common tropes but what he does with them is anything but cliché. D&D writing is cliché and predictable.
  4. Also one of the thing I hope doesn't happen in the books Jon ditching Ghost for a dragon and Ghost being irrelevant.
  5. My standarts have lowered ever since season 6 otherwise I'd have given the episode a 4/10 at best rather than a 7. D&D aren't Martin, the way they write is more cliché and previsible.
  6. I'm ranting about the lighting, the half-assed ending and the overall mediocrity of the battle compared to previous ones. The feminist agenda doesn't bother me that much, I bring it up because I believe it GRRM will do things very differently from D&D.
  7. Ever since D&D became full time writers they've pushed very strongly a feminist agenda, making Sansa,Cersei,Dany look way more competent and smart than Jon,Jaime or Tyrion (albeit in Jaime's case It's justified). Notable examples being the battle of the bastard and literally every Tyrion scene involving Dany, Tyrion whose character has been ruined since he met her as he's no longer interesting at all because he can't go a full scene without mentioning her. I'm not surprised Arya is the one who dealt the final blow
  8. I don't think who beats the Night King has any relevance in the show given how it went down.I'm sure It'll be different in the books. And GRRM even at his worst wouldn't half-ass the Night King's background and death
  9. I wished so badly for the Night King to say something, for Bran to reveal something as he was about to kill him, hell watching the episode I was even expecting some time-related fuckery or Bran to bring the Night King with him in a vision. And Hardhome,Blackwater >>>>> Today's battle, that much is clear in my eyes. It's not even remotely close.
  10. 7/10. And I'm being generous. First of all the episode was ridiculously dark, I couldn't tell what was happening in a LOT of scenes, sometimes it was even pixelated, the overall visual quality of the episode wasn't that great in my eyes. Secondly the pacing was weird, I don't think these scenes of Jon and Dany flying in the air were needed, they didn't lead to much until late into the episode and weren't exactly interesting, the entire episode builds up to the Night King reaching Bran and that's about the only scene they built up perfectly. And last but not least, my biggest issue : The plot. Now that ending was terrible, let's get that out of the way, Arya killing the NK ok fine that doesn't bother me but the way she did it? The impact it had on the battle? That's just utterly ridiculous and let's not talk about how the NK is a nothing character, we don't know who he is, why he wants a never ending night, how long he's been the NK, we don't learn anything about him at all. Beyond the horrible ending, Jon does nothing for 90% of the episode, same could be said for Dany, not sure what Bran was doing either once the NK started moving on his dragon. Scenes I really liked were : Theon's death scene, Melisandre's scenes, Arya cosplaying as Solid Snake. build up to NK reaching Bran Scenes I didn't like : Arya killing the NK, all of Jon/Dany dragon scenes, the cluster**** that was some of these battles where I couldn't tell what was going on Overall I think the battle of Blackwater and Hardhome were both better than this episode, It's hard to compare it to the Battle of the Bastard but BotB was a better episode too.
  11. If they kill Ghost I'm dropping this show. Btw you can bet we're not gonna get the Tower of Joy scene now that Bran is out of this mess.
