ShadowKitteh Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Seriously? It's frost. When Jon comes out of the water, he splashed water on it, and the frost gets washed away. Go watch it in real time, the entire frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurid Jester Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 People really need to rewatch that scene, preferably in HD. I just did and it is clearly the opal stones in the eyes reflecting the snow, initially giving the impression they are closed (and white). When Jon bursts from the water a drop lands on the eye and disrupts the reflection and the opals are black again. Thats all it is, a drop of water. This is just another case of Arya being stabbed in the gut causing a rash of theory crafting the likes of which not even R'yllor has seen. oh, cool. My autocorrect has stopped trying to change R'yllor every time I type it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know anything about Power Rangers, but they didn't exactly invent talking magic swords. They're such a common mythical/fantasy trope that Terry Pratchett parodied them in his first Discworld book in 1983, D&D had rules for them from the first edition in 1974, and Tolkien asked CS Lewis whether the idea was too much of a cliche to use in 1919.

It doesn't look like there's a drop on the eye, and the effect doesn't look like what you'd get from water. It doesn't look like a wolf eye opening either. 12 hours ago, Lurid Jester said: oh, cool.

Lol, figures my autocorrect would remember all the times I misspelled R'hllor instead of the few times I got it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh it was just a joke, sorry. I know there have been other talking swords (though I didn't know it was THAT much of a trope, or that Tolkien was worrying about it being too cliche/debating using one apparently). I just liked the reference because the original white power ranger's sword, Saba, had a white tiger head on the pommel that literally talked (moving mouth and everything lmao). I thought the white wolf head on the pommel of Longclaw and the (Power) Ranger/ (Night's Watch) Ranger was a funny parallel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
