Mother of Mini Dragons Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I think this is a question we need to let go. They have said it time and time again that is more difficult to accurately CGI direwolves than it is the dragons and the dragons are obviously more germane to the current plot.

Dragons raining hell is a lot more fun to watch than a direwolf tear someone's throat out. A lot more fun ? Not for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Gareth Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 It's a shame about the Wolves but I think what this demonstrates is how unimportant they actually are to the overall story. Ghost - Is important because Jon will warg into him for his second life. To escape that I think Ghost will become the Nissa and will have to die. Well that didn't happen in the show so although Ghost is still alive the fact is they have no idea how to use him because they're in unchartered territory. Nymeria - I think she may have a part to play when the Others breach the Wall, in terms of her pack ripping into a load of Wights. But again that can easily be substituted or ignored. Summer - I think Summer will die in similar fashion to the show, protecting Bran. Shaggydog - Name is a give away. Won't last and isn't important to the plot. Lady / Grey Wind - Already dead.

Eddard Scissorhands Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I hope we at least get one scene with Ghost this season. I understand the budget restraints but a season without Ghost would be a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leto Atreides Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 They missed a huge opportunity by nothing making Ghost go to Dragonstone with Jon Snow. How awesome would that meeting have been? Fire and Ice, each with their mythical creature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly would have made an impression though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The books definitely have bigger direwolves than we did, but the show seems a bit more in line with the real life animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnmaskedLurker Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Apparently Ghost is more expensive than Drogon to CGI (the movements are more intricate). So Ghost gets left back at Winterfell, perhaps gnawing on Ramsey's bones. I don't think we will see him again this season -- maybe next season.

Probably because the answers are unsatisfactory. Since GoT is one of the biggest money makers for HBO, maybe biggest, spending a few more dollars on rendering fur, even if just for a minute so viewers know the wolf is still around, isn't asking too much. I think most people would be happy even with just a brief appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't warg like he can in the books They aren't fighting humans but undead. Ghost will have the same success Summer did. Wolves attack at the throats but that's basically useless or ineffective on the undead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
