Kaguya Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 And just decided based on time constraint - that it should just be massacre, and focus on the drama concerning that? If they had this one sided massacre planned all along - why waste budget on the Golden company at all? They lasted literally one second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That combined with Rhaegal dying made it seem as though this match-up could be even. It actually has some decent parallels to the sacking of Kinsglanding by the Lannisters during Robert's Rebellion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were always going to be cannon fodder and Harry Strickland was nothing more than a patsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that they would be the ones that put the time constraints on themselves, I don't think this is the case. They just wanted us to think going into this it was going to be an even battle. Add more "suspense." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Yorick Ampersand Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 HBO offered Dumb&Dumber has many episodes and season they would like. It was D&D that decided on a short season with fewer episodes. /thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyser1 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Let's just say the 1,999 Golden Company Cavalry and 1/2 to 2/3 of the infantry caught a sudden case of Flee-to-Essos-itis before the battle. Similar to how the ~80,000+ men of the Reach caught stay-at-home-itis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funpig Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I think that the dragon is a metaphor for nuclear weapon. If the person with the finger on the button goes crazy or has a low blood sugar moment because of a few missed Big Macs, the results will be absolutely devastating for the target.

TwiceBorn Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Given time constraints they've wasted a lot of time on pointless Euron vs. Jaimie duel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
