Rant and Rave Without Repercussion 2 (Book Spoilers)


Recommended Posts

Well, let's talk about this: http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/06/game-of-thrones-finale-cliffhangers

Stannis is definitely dead (no shock there), but as for why we didn't see the death, Director David Nutter said "It would have been gratuitous. You really got a sense that Stannis had nothing else to live for. Brienne’s lifelong mission had come to an end. It’s a situation in which Stannis was ready to die and prepared to die."

:bang:

David Nutter is a fucking hack. This is the man who botched up the RW, the Mhysa scene and now all those other great moments. Seriously fuck him.

EDIT: I know we are always justified when we hate the writing on this poor excuse of a TV-sho, but we really should throw more contempt at some of these directors.

EDIT: Specifically, I'm thinking about Nutter, Sacharov and Alex Graves.

Yeah, why spend all the time cleaning the bodies and showing us the 600 unique faces only to say "Oh, just kidding, this is some weird magic that reproduces whatever face we want." That was stupid.

So they can show countless breasts, violence towards kids, the weakness of motherhood, but they have to give Stannis some dignity. Right.

I talk to so many show!watchers who don't think at all about any of this stuff. They just want to see cool things and dragons.

And that is bs too, they didn't give him any dignity at all. They butchered the character, it was obvious from his first scene. Not entirely out of the realm of possibility that they did shoot it differently but weren't happy with the result and decided to change it in editing.

It also would end his betrothal with Trystane. He won't be marrying a bastard.

Of course he would. They are really in love, remember? They would elope if they have to.

Speaking of this, Larry's "it's super unlikely that two people in an arranged marriage would come to love each other" talk was completely idiotic, especially for a noble in this kind of society.

Heh, I just notice that GRRM didn't post anything about the finale episode, not even its record-breaking numbers. I don't think he'll really be working on the show again. Not even for the last season.

That's a shame, since he might be the only one who could fix it. On the other hand, I really want the next book so forget I said that.

Speaking of Porne, it really kills me that Tyene, in books, has ONE SINGLE mention (very casually by Arianne) of her sexual life. It's not even kinky or anything odd. She's just there with some guy who came too fast, something that can happen to anyone who is relatively young. She doesn't go around dressed "like a whore" (so to speak) or saying "I want seeeex!!!" like a maniac. She's a normal twenty something girl who enjoys sex with sex is on the menu but have quite a busy life besides that.



And the show turned her into "bad pussy lolita flasher".



Yet, the one girl who is introduced by mentioning she was just involved in a threesome with two female twins has barely a participation. No mention of her sexual life. I suppose when you bed other girls you don't have one? :dunno:

That makes no goddamn sense whatsoever

I think I won't be tuning in next season. I really hope GRRM announces a publication date (or even publishes tWoW) to steel my resolve. I seriously even lack the energy to rant on everything that was bad in this finale. I had taken care to watch it with friends and I had taken more than a few brews to make me less critical, but shit this was just terrible.

...knowing that Bran is still alive because the show writers are idiots.

Ugh.

Its so nice to see this plot point paid off. You know, with Jon showing so much concern that his little brother is beyond the Wall, where he has just witnessed an army of the unDead massacring Wildlings. But oh no! He wasn't at Crasters Keep. Oh well, lets forget about him and never speak of this moment again.

I said it was stupid when it happened. I said it was stupid at the end of last season. And after Hardhome I'm just, whut?

I don't even have the will to rant anymore people.

Fucking hell. The finale had the largest first time audience of any episode of GOT. More than the premier. So, 'bad pussy' is totally validated. Shock and awe is totally validated.

All the horses are gone except the one Mel rode off on is validated. Nobody but us book nerds care about errors and inconsistencies and blatant stupidity of characters like Stannis, the great military commander planning to attack a moated castle in the day time.

Bad pussy. Controversy. Action. CGI dragons is what people want to watch.

Apparently Mel has one constantly reserved for her personal use... ahem, ugh, disposal. :blushing:
