Just watched episodes 4 and 5.

They were very good.

SJW angle completely destroyed. Main female character is a villain now. Even the only black guy on the show is a villain now. Cool battles and effects and many characters sealing their fate in a fashion that suits them.

There were some nitpicks like Jamie surviving too long with critical wounds, but this is usual movie stuff even early episodes of GoT are guilty of such things.

The parlay scene was bad trough Daenerys going in range of scorpions with small number of men looked pathetic. But this small blunder didn't ruin the episode for me as everything else was good.

Some people complained about some Dothrki surviving. These are morons who didn't even watch episode 3 clearly where it showed a few Dothraki running back after most were killed. Blaming the show for your own lack of observation skills. Disgusting lot these unfounded critics are.

The argument about the effectiveness of scorpions vs dragons is also questionable, but it's easy to explain by surprise factor and Daenerys being fearful the first time and angry and determined the second time.

Of course it is easier to be a hater and just spit criticism. I am more disappointed with people then with the show actually. It just shows that no matter how good a show you make people will always dislike the ending because they think it must be similar to beginning which is impossible.

It was the same as with Star Wars prequels. People loved them but still talked shit to prove how smug they are. Wanted them to be just like original trilogy which is impossible. Of course Disney Star wars are shit no argument there.

I am getting disappointed people and even many forum members, much more then in the show. This show is high quality, obviously not perfect but it is much higher quality then 99% of things that gets made in latest decades. Why people play these games and shit talk it just to gain coolness points and proving they are so smarter. These people will never be satisfied.

Most of people that hate this show on this forum also also the new type of RVF Christian cucks and a.k.a reformed players who came to Jesus as they became older just like the church sluts whom they hate doing so. These attitudes are connected. Being paranoid and seeing (((subversion))) everywhere. I am not denying subversion as such but just recognizing that seeing it everywhere is as bad as not seeing it at all. You get evil just like Daenerys did when you think everything is a treachery and you are the only one who sees past it. These Christian critic cucks will not be satisfied unless the show ends with Jesuses second coming. Everything that is not about Jesus is subversion of Satan to them in one way or another. What are you even doing watching this show you clearly hate since a few seasons ago? Go and pray to Jesus instead. Why do you even keep watching TV if it is all poison and subversion to you? I will tell you why you keep doing it. Because you secretly love it.

You cucks were the same people who complained about Daenerys being a strong feminist figure who was too perfect and always right. Now that she has finally become the villain she would naturally become, you complain it is bad writing. You contradict yourselves. You bible believing people just have that high a cognitive dissonance.

Why can't it be both? Perhaps they should have focused on making it good so! They had twice the amount of time this season. If the character is to become a villian or hero, the proceedings must develop in a fairly coherent fashion that feels like it takes place in the same universe as the preceding seasons (as it slowly went on a downhill trajectory)

Few complained about Breaking Bad's ending! And it couldn't be more different from its beginning.

Some of the criticism is overblown, but the devolution of the series is striking. It turned into a comic book! The world felt larger inside these tents and rooms than anything we were shown in the last while with their now millions and millions of budget, you got the sense people weren't zipping around, your imagination gets exercised, there is a foreboding goes beyond the camera frame, that the world was spinning if you turned off an episode, great writing made the world feel larger and did more than all the genuinely fantastic CGI.

This 8 minutes in a single room is more intense and dramatic/dynamic than anything we've had in a long time.





















It feels like back in season 5, the producers were handed 3 episodes worth of story by Martin that constituted the ending of the book series (season 8), this was all they knew and could be sure of, it was the Lonely Mountain goal they had to aim for and keep their eye, of course Gandalf himself put the pin on the map (George RR Martin) left them partway and wished them luck fending for themselves but they had no idea how to get there on their own, despite have the practice of the earlier seasons.

^^I think there are two types of people who are unhappy with this season.

One is the SJW who is unhappy about the whole subversion of the feminist agenda and all that bullshit. These people I don't give a shit about, the show did nothing wrong.

The other is people like me who are unhappy because the show doesn't explain anything - what was Bran doing, why didn't the nightking have a more interesting ending (with an explanation or something), why weren't the battles more interesting (like battle of the bastards), etc.

Not to derail the thread but how pissed must the cast be at Jim Parson? To go from $1 million an episode (even Rauch was making $500k) to nothing all because Parson decided to quit and Chuck didn't want to do the series without him. The network wanted at least 2 more years.

You know they'll never have anywhere near this kind of success again.

Calling everyone a cuck for valid criticism?

Personally I am amazed that you did not see the numerous faults. And the faults are fundamental and collossal with only the cinematography and special effects being good.

As Syberpunk noted - the early shows did not even have many battle scenes out of budget constraints and it was legion better.

Yes - the SJWs don't like it and the feminists/women don't because their heroes get destroyed. Christianity has nothing to do with it and what is this newfound hate against RVF Christians? You really think that those Red Pill guys are cucks?

You should rather be disappointed in your own reasoning skills.

You are literally using the mainstream/SJW/shill arguments of "you are a hater and it's easier to be a hater". Add to it misogynist and you have the Ghostbusters defenders.

Fine if you liked it, but this series will not stand the test of time because the writing is shit.

And the Star Wars prequels were far better despite the criticism - this will also become clear, because it did not destroy the lore and the franchise - Disney does with the new social justice content that also breaks the basic storytelling rules, gives you bad writing with good special effects - exactly like Game of Thrones now.

One of the best.
Tywin stands with clear ownership of the head of the table.
Littlefinger scampers in front of Varys to be closest to Tywin.
Varys takes his seat with a certain unflappability.
Pycelle shambles (deceptively) to the last place.
Cersei comes in. Goes and sits ... at the right hand of her father.
Tyrion comes in ... and drags his seat to the other end of the table, where it looks like he's Tywin's equal.

If this thread was the Soviet Union, Mage would be that guy who gets outraged because you complained about the bread lines and claims that you must be a secret counter-revolutionary fantasizing about the Western lifestyle.

The Star Wars prequels were shit but they were shit in a way that kind of withstood the test of time where people looked back fondly at stuff like Jar Jar Binks and sighed "that whacky Lucas, what was he thinking?"

The shitness became part of the lore. Dumb droids. Chinese bankers. Mitichlorins. The franchise had a big enough engine to carry that trash. The new Star Wars trash fucks directly with the engine (kill beloved characters, fuck the remaining ones up, etc) which is why it stalled and crashed.

GOT doesn't have the franchise engine to carry this trash, clearly. I'm watching this from the outside and it's still obvious. Trash like the finale of Dexter was shrugworthy because Dexter wasn't epic. GOT raised the bar on expectations and then just faceplanted into it. Even if they simply coasted into a win for the heroes and prison for the villains then people mightn't have been hyped but they also wouldn't be calling it a shitshow. It would also leave the door open for a new series down the road.

To me this looks like a pretty clear cut case of two hack writers who can't hold a candle to the OG so in a narcissistic tantrum they decide to "burn the whole thing down" as it were, for cheap shock effect. The dragon burning the city is a pretty visceral indication of that.

I still want to know how a random executive at HBO couldn't have read that idiotic script as much as two years in advance and fired those morons on the spot, thus heroically saving HBO from losing hundreds of millions in spin-off and merchandise sales. And don't even get me started on them being handed that Star Wars project on a silver platter.

Unlike Dany, Olly's arc to where he stabbed John actually made sense and made you feel bad for the guy. But now instead of charactar arcs they just do a bell montage and flip a switch.

Let's go deeper.

This season has me made realize something that I have been suspecting for a while now. While the source material's stick is being a bit edgy and nonconventional in terms of good/evil archetypes, the TV adapation takes it to a next level. It's constantly employs nihilistic and postmodern elements. Seemingly mature topics are being portrayed flamboyantly, not because they are mature, but because they are edgy and subversive. Sadly, at the end of the day it's just a different color of cultural marxism.

Let's go even deeper. Benioff and Weiss. They are both of the chosen people, a minority that is very present in the Media and Entertainment sector. Of course they love subversive and postmodern topics. They love the Schmaltz and Kitsch, and ultimately selling out for money.

All the themes about empowered women, incompetent men, castrated men and eunuchs, SJW fanservice... I guess that's the age we live in. Honk honk.

Post: #3399

Leonard you are one of the few people whom I still respect even despite differing opinions because you would not become a lying piece of shit and for some reason and accuse me of being a Soviet sympathizer like Handsome Creepy Eel did, just because I like the show he pretends to dislike, despite me voicing opinions against socialism so many times in this forum.

I would therefore like to politely point out how wrong you are on most of what you wrote.

I actually saw original Star wars when I was an adult for the first time just when first prequel episode was. (Because I actually was born in the motherfucking Soviet union, experienced the long lines for food, which I disliked, and Star Wars were not part of my childhood). So as someone for whom Star Wars is not childhood nostalgia I can tell that prequels are actually even slightly better then originals. I liked prequels more. Only way how originals look better is trough prism of nostalgia, which most western fans have.

Jar-jar was goofy all right, but I didn't mind. Btw I always suspected he was a secret "drunken master" before I even heard of the Lucas confirmed theory that he is a Sith Lord. So sad that Disney dropped Jar Jar due to fear of stupidest of fans getting outrageous if he would appear again. Would love him to reveal his true Sith colors in movies. He is literally the master manipulator, amazing character.

Dumb droids were invented in original trilogy. In fact the first twenty minutes or so of the very first SW movie is all about those annoying droids. C3Po and R2D2 nnoyed me much more then Jar-jar and they had much more screen time in original trilogy then in prequels.

Mitichlorians are cool. What is the closest thing to a Jedi in a real world - a Yogi. And do you know what is the single most apparent biological difference between an advanced Yogi and a common omnivorous material person? Utterly different gut bacteria. SW got that one right. When you sun-gaze and start living of Prana and renounce foreign protein your gut bacteria and blood changes.

Yes Disney SW is atrocious by how it handles old beloved characters. I do not defend Disnay SW which is abysmal. I defend SW prequels which are awesome and GoT season 8 which is adequate (neither great but neither bad).

Cannot comment on Dexter, didn't see it.

Dragon burning King's Landing has been foreshadowed since Season 1 when the mad king ( an ancestor of Daenerys) was killed because he kept giving orders "Burn them all". It's cool that it was not a wasted moment and that this burning actually happened. Were this just abandoned it would be a waste.

I liked the destruction of King's landing it was an awesome episode. Power, or more accurately the fear of loss of the power finally got to Daenerys and corrupted her.

Have you noticed how Cersei and Daenerys are so similar now - they both act more and more crazy the more of their children die. They both had 3 children. Their power rests on their children. For Cercei it's heirs and her power as Queen-mother. For Daenerys it's because her children are dragons, the most powerful military units out there. The more children they lose the more desperate and tyrannical they become.

I like this similarity. it makes them both really cool realistic female characters, not overpowered bland Mary sues like the new SW lead or captain marvel, but actual proper characters with depth and both light and dark side. I bet you critics of the show haven't even thought about it and didn't spot it, you just spot small errors to nitpicking and magnify.

You have no idea how common eunuchs were in ancient times. It was a common thing to create eunuchs as a punishment or to make people fit for certain positions of power as it was thought to reduce ambition and increase obedience, obviously used for harem handlers but also many different administrative positions could be given to people who castrated themselves willingly. Even Jesus in Bible refers to willing eunuchs. This is much less of a parable then you think with your contemporary mind.

This was common in many different cultures. From ancient China to Victorian opera singers.

Incompetent men have always existed.

Empowered women have also always existed. Most men a.k.a betas have always had women as their main weakness and have always empowered them. Cleopatra, Catherine the Great, Queen Elizabeth, Queen Victoria. Not to mention the court spies, concubines and elite prostitutes whose names were not recorded in history but which had great manipulative power.
