Game of Thrones Season 8, we can finally stop waiting on GURM

Say what you want about Bonaparte but he did install the Duchy of Warsaw.

Which led from Prussian rule of law* to Russian tyranny and Saxon incompetence.

That's because he used the default settings that included Bing Bar instead of doing a custom installation.

[VomKriege]

Remind me of how they ruined Sugar Cane Throne with Napo trying to re-enslave the population. WTF, totally inconsistent !

Guess I'm the run for being a Danube of Thought.

I only play Paradox games with Unlucky Nations on.

[agrajag]

I didn't bother extensively watching this show (it's bad and always has been folks) but I tuned in for the last episode for shits and giggles to compare it with the eventual bad book ending and installing Bran as eternal philosopher king is peak nerd wishful thinking. It's like Dune with no Jihad. The Jordan Peterson ending.

"Daenerys represents the chaos dragon which is a manifestation of the female energy. The executed eunich represents the futility of the modern feminist man trying to conform to the subversion of heteronormative Western values, a cuck if you will.  Mhhhmm, right. And it makes sense that the masculine king sits on the throne and the mad witch gets stabbed in the chest."

[shosta]

The Napoleon comparison falls completely  apart once you realize that there was no revolution in Mereen. It was a coup at best and an imperialist invasion at worst to remove a societal structure that she deemed to be inferior and savage. It's as asinine as saying that the government in Meereen past Daenerys was a metaphor for Vichy-France.
Slavoj doing anything for a quick buck these days.

Ah, so you didn't read it

[BisMarckie]

No, but I relied on super reliable Kara for his take to build mine.

[Huff]

The goal is to read never more than one sentence from anyone on here

[BisMarckie]

That' he resorts to almost Freudian depth psychology is such a stretch.

 3/10 would not watch a IDW debate again.

[Nintex]

Daenerys was clearly based on Genghis Khan and his horde. They tried to hide it with a pretty face and some tits but anyone who has any knowledge of history could guess the source material.

Dry snitching on yourself like this

Daddy P's voice comforts me and reminds me of better times when I'm feeling lonely.

[Nintex]

- Throne = Ring
- Dany = Smeagol
- Jon = Frodo

GRRM hid his LOTR copy well behind a lot of incest, fancy words and blood.

[agrajag]

Shout out to all these things having ZERO impact on the story

to be fair, Arya's faceswapping stuff was resolved with her ending House Frey. That should have been her entire arc and that would be fine. She felt shoehorned in Season 8.

[BisMarckie]

Jon's heritage did have an impact on the story, though? A pretty significant one as well.

[agrajag]

You saying Dany wouldn't have sacked King's Landing if he didn't know his heritage? Seems like her reasons for going berserk were rather spurious.

[Nintex]

Tormund drank from that warhorn iirc

[agrajag]

Tormund drank from that warhorn iirc

It's like poetry

 

[agrajag]

It’s like you missed that entire plot point and the 5 times I pointed it out.  Without his lineage Dany never gets paranoid about people finding out, doesn’t get mad at people spreading the info, Dany doesn’t lose Jon as a lover, etc.

Uh uh, right. That's why she literally gets triggered and snaps when she hears bells for some reason and ravages the peasants with a psychotic expression the entire time. And turns into a sith lord the next episode and rambles like an insane person. If you still haven't accepted that they turned her into a Mad Queen by the final episode, you are a blithering fool, riotous.

Game of Thrones’ showrunners say Daenerys’ big decision was completely spontaneous

“I don’t think she decided ahead of time that she was going to do what she did,” Weiss says. “And then she sees the Red Keep, which is, to her, the home that her family built when they first came over to this country 300 years ago. It’s in that moment, on the walls of King’s Landing, when she’s looking at that symbol of everything that was taken from her, when she makes the decision to make this personal.”

The Bire: Let's discuss the writing of this show

Agrajag: Hey guys, since we're talking about the show's writing, we have this rare opportunity to peek into the minds of the show writers and see exactly what they meant

The Bire: Nah, we're not gonna do that

[agrajag]

let's see

gets sold into essentially slavery by her douchebag brother
watches her brother get brutally executed
faces an assassination attempt
watches her husband slowly die
makes a blood magic pact with a witch who kills the baby she is carrying in exchange for letting her husband live in a braindead state
euthanizes her braindead husband in a funeral pyre
burns herself alive in a ritual to become the dragon queen
backstabbed and betrayed multiple times and loses friends, mentors and advisors throughout her journey over 7 seasons

loses her mind over two episodes because the Northmen like Jon more than her

 

[shosta]

lock this thread before it consumes us all

[agrajag]

Also, agra, are you aware that Weiss didn't actually WRITE the episodes?

Because he didn't.

pretty sure he's on the writing credits, buddy

[BisMarckie]

No thanks, I'm waiting on a giant carepost historical materialist analysis of game of thrones from jake or shosta

What if I am more of a Hegel kind of guy?

[agrajag]

She's been brutal and unforgiving to her enemies, like 99% of other GoT characters the entire season. She didn't have a psychotic breakdown until the last two episodes. You're a fucking fool.

I checked the wrong episodes you are right about The Bells.  They didn't write the entire season though.

they didn't write the first two episodes. Holy shit, you are slimy.

And shut down my filler like farm? Get the hell out.

[shosta]

[Don Rumata]

 

Death of the author. bitch. 

[MMaRsu]

So they had her acting paranoid, losing sleep, looking like she needed concealer, burning Varys alive, being turned away by Jon and looking pissed as hell, declaring "Let it Be Fear" etc. all for nothing.. because in some stupid interview that isn't part of the show the show-runners said something dumb.

Her mental state before that had NOTHING to do with it.

This. How dense and stupid can one be to ignore this? It seems pretty dense

Claiming Jon's heritage had no impact on the story 

You seem to hate the writing yet you aren't even paying attention to the damn show rofl.

[Nintex]

You may not have noticed it.

But your braid did

I don't wear braids you fekkit

I looked at the first 2 and made an incorrect statement then corrected myself;  why are you so angry bro?

I blame the bells

[shosta]

The Dutch are per capita the worst posters on the internet

newsfeed

[MMaRsu]

look at that other dutch simpleton trying to think 

well clearly I pay more attention than you regarding this show, and don't need every single thing spelled out to me like a child.

Cmon Agra, stop tripping bruh

How come Jon don't want me man?

[agrajag]

for the record, I was content with posting memes, and even defended Arya's arc somewhat, and then riotous got triggered by one of the parts in a meme and started reeeing all over the place.

Also, it is obvious to any but the most mentally limited of us that the build up and payoff of Jon's parents is thematically weak, not that it didn't play any part of the show whatsoever.

Lastly, mmarsa sit down, the grown ups are talking.

[agrajag]

He edited and it's still wrong

it's settled, the dutch don't use their braids 

spoiler (click to show/hide)

except HardcoreRetro, he cool

[agrajag]

you spend half your day crying about shosta spoiling a show for you

 

[Nintex]

Relax bois, why not enjoy some of the good things this series has given us. Like interesting characters.

so the six kingdoms are now ruled by a non-human entity with dark powers that's been alive for hundreds of years. I hope the commoners storm the red keep and burn Bran for witchcraft

sansa just wanted to be queen of the norf and screwed everyone else over to there, the dirty slut

Bran will warg into your mum, m8.

I hope Jon sues the unsullied for overstepping their boundaries and violating the state‘s monopoly on violence.

[CatsCatsCats]

Oh good point about Yara
