C.T. Phipps Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 So what do you think of their portrayal in the show? It seems like they're trying to treat the Wildlings as a threat now versus them as just another group of Seven Kingdom types. It seems a little...off to me. How about you?

Queen of Whores Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I'm happy they're being shown as completely evil, if only so Stannis' arrival and defeat of them is at least slightly victorious for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightStark Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Raiding is what the wildlings do, the only difference here is that the Thenn's eat people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HouseHarrison Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Honestly even in the books you got the impression that Wildling raids were brutal vicious affairs that saw wholesale slaughter, so I wasn't really offended by that. It was the singling out of the Thenns as the cannibal savages that irks me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oberyn2cool4Westeros Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I think they're trying to douche them up so we don't feel as bad when they die - 'specially Ygritte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kinkslayer Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Tv-Tormund is boring.Magnar of Thenn is a generic savageYgritte is badass (ok, I have a crush for her) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Damian Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 There is a reason that the noble house Stark did not invite wildings to "settle" the gift. They have/had to be broken first, then potentially offer "options". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Crashing Waves Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 The wildlings have always been a threat, and they've always been brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daenerys Must Die Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I think they're trying to douche them up so we don't feel as bad when they die - 'specially Ygritte. Who looked incredibly sexy in the wide shot after her she loosed her first arrow, I might add :drool: But yeah.. if any time a bit more 'gratuitous violence' could be beneficial to development of a villain, this could be it.. Thenn's aside of course but it was kind of a "Potattooooessss.. boom.. boom.. eat yer mama & papa.. go to castle black tell the crows how BAMF we are IRL" .. visually it didn't do a lot for me but I didn't mind the scene.

Ilúvatar Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 It was good to see Ygritte killing some innocent people to show that she's still a ruthless person. I was worried they were going to have the Thenns do all the bad stuff from now on because the audience identifies with Ygritte and Tormund.

KalibakCruel Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I don't mind the woke Thenns as cannibal thing really. They look creepy and savage, works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twenty of House Goodmen Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 The cannibal thing is still annoying, but this scene is fine. They're Wildlings. They raid and pillage and rape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lezboyd Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I understand why they included this scene, but at the same time, it was unnecessary, since it diffused all the tension from Jon Snow's storyline. In the books, there is no communication sent by the wildlings beforehand, as far as I remember. So the entire burden of convincing his brothers in black to prepare for war falls on Jon Snow's shoulders. This scene diffuses the tension, as the wildlings have made their presence and their intentions known. Very well executed scene, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombies That Were Promised Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Gonna make a giant leap now with the way that little boy was looking at Ygritte that he is the one to stick a fatal arrow in her. Preferrably Jon trains him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Desmond Wine's Bane Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I had no problems with the scene. It demonstrated that the Wildlings are a real threat, that then was balanced well with the meeting of the NW and their dilemma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gvewolf243 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I think , that in the show they'll change it so , boy who survived, will have his revenge on Ygritte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Envie Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Gonna make a giant leap now with the way that little boy was looking at Ygritte that he is the one to stick a fatal arrow in her. Preferrably Jon trains him. Yeah that added bit makes for good fist-pumping television. Boy gets his revenge and the crowd goes wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
