That’s not to say it doesn’t happen bcuz we’re constantly spoon fed the most basic of garbage that is not even trying to be anything of lasting importance. And of course companies and studios want to make shows, movies, etc that make money and are successful. But there’s nothing to make money or a lasting impression without the creators. Let them breathe and do what they do. Anyone who is an artist understands this. I didn’t like how Green Bay’s season went last year but I’m not going to start a petition to have the NFL play the 2018-19 season over again. Neither that or remaking TLJ or this season of GoT is even remotely feasible. It’s ludicrous. It’s laughable. It’s embarrassingly self-entitled to even suggest such a thing. Maybe they should inundate GRR Martin with emails, letters, etc encouraging (harassing him is more realistic) to hurry up and finish his books before he croaks. PC outrage over the slightest affront is something completely different from ppl not liking things. That kind of thing can make an impact but we’ve already seen that go the selfish way when Disney rehired a pedophile to direct the next movie in his series. The fans can’t be trusted in most cases. That’s a Pandora’s box that cannot be opened. I know if I paint a picture and it sucks people aren't going to buy it so artistic integrity aside if it sells it sells. People will buy alot, but if the masses scream about something they don't like and you decide to keep that recipe then you might be inviting your own disaster.

And it definitely has become a symbol for everything bad in GOT. Like 70% of the memes ****ting on GOT involve that cup. And you never said it did - so I helped you out.

Robert was at the Stony Sept for a little leisure. When the bells started tolling for Jon Con and his troops. Bells let townfolk know to duck inside. Jon enters the town, offers bribes and pardons for Robert, who is hiding in a brothel. Jon takes time to try to do things properly and conducts searches cause his ego got in the way about how this was the end for the rebels. Which gave Ned time enough to rush down and smash his forces. JonCon had his lands stripped from him and lost being Hand of the King. Went into exile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PARROTHEAD Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Checked out a couple of those Xena episodes for reference. And not once in any battle scene is anyone walking through a battle 1 slash at a guy in plate armor and killing them. And seeing how in even shows like Xena they arnt doing that. Is putting it up with this seasons writing as my biggest gripe for the entire series. Cause Jon stepped off the elevator at Castle Black and killed 3-4 guys like that without any defense. Just a easy slash, slash, slash. All dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're comparing how the writers/directors of one fictional story compare to the writers/directors of another fictional story and how both compare to your reality?

PARROTHEAD Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Didnt notice before Eurons crew were shouting commands in Ep5. 2 episodes after he told Yara he needed someone to talk too because his crew was all mutes. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im comparing how in even a fantasy kids show from the 90s theyre taking time to not look but so ridiculous. Do you grasp that wrist slashing through plate armor is as unrealistic as Davos walking through KL farting killer rainbows at Lannister troops? So.. Why wasnt Davos farting deadly rainbows at Lannister forces? He could have been. You want to make it seem like a reasonable thing to happen.

Heimdallr Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 It is annoying that they made a whole scene of how Jorah's plate armor was great defense against bladed weapons (against one of the dothraki), and how a properly equipped knight would dominate in 1-on-1 combat, but then in the later seasons they forget that armor matters.

Which could be made sense of if they fell back with a gash in their protection instead of looking untouched. Reminds me of that guy from "Civil War On Drugs" by TWKYK. He lived through over 20 battles. They were asking him how. And hes, "Oh I just fake a gut shot and lay there till the end." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them Euron swimming miles to the edge of KL in a short time and still having the energy to fight Jamie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
