Lord Damian Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 What did you guys/gals think of that statue of the bastard king? I hate the constant slapdown, in your face crap done to the Starks by the Lannisters and we have not even seen Roose Bolton yet. That statue though was so visually sickening and infuriating it is good the actor that plays Joff is accross the pond. No, but seriously. The shows producers and directors are remarkable for this "added" image. They are really setting the table (heh, heh) for things to come. Well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~DarkHorse~ Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I loved how they added the statue. It was both comical and anger invoking. I seriously hope we see it smashed to pieces or at least beheaded later down the line...or even someone having a midnight stroll and drunken piss on it.

El Guapo Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 The best part of the statue was seeing Joffrey doing the exact same pose in the very next scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Aegon or the Faith or whoever need to tear that thing down like Sadam Hussein's. I think it would be a good symbol for the end of the Lannister reign, as Ice melting represented the Starks' demise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bratchild Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I could only imagine Sansa's desire to pelt rotten fruit at the damn thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall Tyrion Lannister! Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 that scene leading into Joffrey posing in the same was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominusNovus Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I could only imagine Sansa's desire to pelt rotten fruit at the damn thing. Or shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kinkslayer Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 The statue is too cartoonish, I'll be glad when a raging mountain smashes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonCon's Red Beard Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I laughed aloud. The whole think is hilarious: "I broke Stannis, I won the war!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Flandrensis Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 The best part of the statue was seeing Joffrey doing the exact same pose in the very next scene. :agree: I was stunned, amused and horrified at that statue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ground_control Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Did anybody else think it looked like they gave Joffrey a beard, maybe to make him look more Baratheon-like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warg Arry Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 "Some day you'll sit on the throne and the truth will be what you make it." Advice Joffrey took to heart. Plus his self inflated idea that he had anything to do with the red wedding. The statue is both horrifying and comical. Joffrey probably loves it. He is a nut bar with extra nuts.

ivor the swine Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Maybe it gave a few people a sense that Joffrey is here to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where the VEEP poses next to a giant poster of herself. Probably where they got the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AugustusCaesar Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I feel as though they added the statue to make it seem like Joffrey is here to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Smith Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Was a very nice touch, and transitioning straight from the statue to actual Joffery displaying the same pose was a great example of the sort of little additions that this show really nails (another one was Tywin throwing Ice's wolf sheath into the fire).

I actually took the statue to be the fight against the direwolf Nymeria in season one. The line you quoted is exactly what Cersei says after she explains the story is going to be what he said happened. Not what actually did happen.

BlackTalon Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 There shouldn't have been moss on it. There could barely have been enough time to make the statue after the RW, much less for moss to grow on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckwheat Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 It was hilarious. Exactly something that Joffrey would order to be made. The best part of the statue was seeing Joffrey doing the exact same pose in the very next scene.Yep, this. I would love a Tommen proudly holding Ser Pounce statue.Oh, PLEASE D&D, make this happen! There shouldn't have been moss on it. There could barely have been enough time to make the statue after the RW, much less for moss to grow on it.True, the statue looked too old, like Lyanna's statue in the crypts of Winterfell.
