Game of Thrones Seasons 7-8
About to hit the 5000 post mark on the old thread, the first season 7 trailer today seems like the right time to start the final Game of Thones thread.
I'm going back to the original rules pre-2015. I don't think we need supervision or bannings. Just don't be a dick. Post anything you find online that hasn't aired yet inside of spoiler tags. That's pretty much it. I think we can all handle that... For future us, 2015 thread is here: Link Last edited by keg in kc; 06-21-2017 at 10:48 AM.. |

Have to agree for the most part FAX. When they had the book to guide them they were killing it but ever since the material for the book ran out it seems like they just can't tell a good story. I guess I don't even know who the writers are. Have they written anything else of value?

I really don't get how anybody didn't like that last episode. But to each their own, I guess.

GoT knows how to promote the girl power without coming across as in your face about it. Take note Marvel.

You know what? You’re right. There is some hellacious girl power narratives that you could read into the story. But it doesn’t even come up because the story is good. |

They have bled, they have grown. Women in GOT have fought for every last inch. In Star Wars they just shove it in your face without trying to build respect. The funny thing is it's the same formula for success in male characters, too. You need to see their vulnerability, watch them struggle, make mistakes, grow, then persevere. Nearly EVERY character in GOT has completed this arc. |

I've grown to expect a great deal from this show and, for the most part, they've delivered. I suppose I'm also affected by the fact that there are now only 4 episodes left. As a result, I'd ideally like each of them to achieve the same level of contextual quality that compares favorably to the series' high points (of which there have been many). It's all subjective, of course. And it's admittedly difficult to maintain a standard of excellence over this many seasons. The argument could also be made that many of these scenes were necessary in order to wrap things up, I suppose. Nonetheless, if I'm being honest, it seems that the writing has fallen off ... at least for me. GOT has been known for surprise and shock as opposed to predictability. In a nutshell, I think the predictability is what bothered me ... FAX |

it's just writing a good character not a hamfisted device to promote feminazi ideals we see dany getting practically RAPED in the first season before coming back later on to dominate her man by forcing him to let her ride him that's how you build a character, not all this dumb shit we saw with rey and captain marvel but oh noes we saw her tits...we have to completely de-sexualize our female characters or they have no worth

Still haven't had Lyanna Mormont bitch out Dany which would be a sorely missed opportunity.

Speaking of Lyanna ...
Does anybody think she'll get deaded by the froze zombies and come back as a froze person herself? I do. In fact, I think several of the main characters may wind up becoming froze people. FAX |

I have it figured out, the Night King will raise the dead in the crypts but these are dead Starks who will turn on the NK and kill him. Then the living and dead Starks march to Kings Landing and gut that bitch Cersi. The end.
