I’m not saying I agree with them. Just that their criticism makes sense.

I think we've had plenty of morally questionable deaths by Dany. She comes to any place, gathers absolutely zero intel about it and wants to "do justice" by punishing innocent people. Right now Dany despises the commoners of KL for not understanding all her sacrifice for humankind. And on her last cry for help before doing something she would've rather avoided, Jon went all "m'lady" on her, meaning the isolation was complete.

Yeah, I feel we're missing one episode, because having the consequences of these actions and conclusion crammed in one episode... i don't quite see it. But i'll wait and see, then we can conclude if it was worth the effort.

no one is saying she's not been nuts dumdum, people are saying that spontaneously burning down an entire city of innocent peasants is out of character.

She doesn't see them as innocents. She sees them as essentially having committed treason by going to King's Landing and accepting Cersei's protection.

Now there's a good chance D&D explain it in an interview with "oh yeah she was PMSing real bad that's how women get" but still.

Finally caught up. This is what happens when you raise a generation on Marvel movies.

People now expect characters with clear motivations and carefully plotted stories that adequately build to a satisfying conclusion?

that's possible. Is that well communicated in the show? Not at all. In the episode she makes a crazy face and snaps. If that's the kind of "misdirection" they use to "subvert expectations" then that's cheap and not at all good writing.

I like how "his" rewriting is basically a collection of popular fan theories that have been around on reddit and whatnot for years :lol

Jon should have been the one to kill the NK, while dying in the process. It was his mission for like, 2 seasons. Arya had fuck all to do with any of it, she basically pops up out of nowhere and killsteals.

That would also make Dany's snapping a lot more logical, since it'd be the second time she loses the man she loves - and this time arguably Cersei is responsible, since she told them she'd send help to fight the dead (which was Jon's preoccupation for a while). They never presented it as her giving that much of a fuck about Jorah.
Obviously, that would have required first a little bit more development to Jon and Dany's relationship than what was basically a couple of tinder dates. The whole tension about who gets the throne was just distinguished mentally-challenged as well.

fan rewrite of Episode 8 that basically has the same outcomes but where things actually make sense and are carry more emotional weight

Fuck off with this fanfic bullcrap man.

Just stop it.

this is like the worst fanbase I'm actually almost ashamed to be a fan of the show myself with how cringe the fanbase is.

Accusing the northerners of racism :what

They’ve never seen a wash and go before. :confused

Northerners hate people who aren’t from the north in their own damn realm. They hate southerners and are especially skeptical to people beyond that. It’s been a huge plot point that it takes a lot for the northerners to trust you, much less like you and you accuse them of racism?

In the video, she says Arya is a feminist model.

How?

Arya is a broken person. She has literally given up her own sense of self for revenge but she's somehow a model for womanhood because she turned down Gendry?

The problem of boiling a dense fantasy epic into a pop show for normies becomes even more evident when it's repeated through the specter of clickbait journalism.

I started reading the books in 2003ish



I'm honestly happy it's gonna be over and done with. The last two seasons especially have been disappointing but eh, whatever. TITS N DRAGONS, WHEEEEEEE.

I'm honestly happy it's gonna be over and done with. The last two seasons especially have been disappointing but eh, whatever. TITS N DRAGONS, WHEEEEEEE.

For me it's a mix of happiness, sadness that we won't ever get it in book form, and anxiety that I might not like the ending I've been waiting years for.

I have a feeling I'll get similar feelings when Shenmue III is about to drop. Like, I'm excited it's a thing but what if it sucks? :(

Gotta stay positive.
