Which GoT scenes you wanted to be more like the books?

Does all of season 8 count?

Seriously though, they traded in the greatness of the early season’s dialogues, character development, and story telling for a medieval Michael bay knockoff.

Cersei and/or Daenerys' lesbian scenes would have been a nice to see.

Wish Darkstar and Strong Belwas were in the show.

I wish they would have made Ned’s dream.

He dreamt an old dream

I would have preferred they not take a series built on slow development and cohesive storyline and throw it in the microwave with some fireworks to end it.

The writing in the Tower of Joy scene in the books is incredible. The three Kingsguard knights are presented as the baddest of asses. A joy to read, indeed.

For my part, I thought the complete exclusion of the Bloody Mummers from the show was an odd choice. They played a critical role in the books, and without them, other characters had to step in to fill their shoes and drive the plot. Vargo Hoat would have been a neat, if disgusting, character to see brought to life.

Tower of Joy and it’s not even close.

This is the scene from the audiobook set to different pieces of fan art with some music. Infinitely more powerful and moving than the show

1) How Littlefinger killed Lysa. They just mention that he had Jon Arryn killed in passing and then he makes out with her. That scene in the books was absolutely epic, where Littlefinger actually taunts her in his own fricked up way about letting Sansa go. It’s when the actual Littlefinger reveals himself for the first time (maybe second after the “I did warn you not to trust me”).

2) Tyrion killing Tywin. Jaime should have told him that Tysha wasn’t a whore and Tywin forced him to lie about it. It is simply stupid Tyrion tries to kill Tywin because he sentenced him to die. Keep in mind that Tywin sent Tyrion to the front lines in Season 1 in hopes he’d be killed. Putting Tyrion in precarious situations on the hope he’d be killed is nothing new for Tywin.

Tyrion finding out that his life had really been a lie and that Tywin was every bit of the deviant as he was is what broke the camel’s back. Shae should have just been murdered by Tyrion instead of her trying to kill him first, and I can’t believe they removed Tywin’s words of “Wherever Whores Go” as one of his immortal last words was just dumb. Additionally it should have been juxtapositioned with the episode of “The Watchers on the Wall”, and then have Tywin’s funeral in “The Children”. Like imagine if you see Wildlings break down a door, the camera then goes to first person perspective with someone running down a hallway with a torch, all to reveal Tyrion behind a door with Jaime holding the torch. That was a real missed opportunity by the writers, and instead we spent a shitload of time just chilling in a cellar with Sam, Gilly, and Janos Slynt.

As much as I hate the Tower of Joy, it doesn’t radically change things on the show. Tysha not being a whore does.

Good point, when Jamie tells Tyrion the truth, Tyrion gets so pissed it sets a lot of things in motion for House Lannister.

-tells Jamie "Cersei is a lying whore, she's been fricking Lancel and Osmund Kettleblack and probably Moon Boy for all I know."

-lies to Jamie says that he did poisoned Joffrey

-then he gets Varys' crossbow and kills his father

“The kingsguard does not flee”

“Then or now”

Everything with Winterfell in ADWD.

Mance as Abel with the spearwives fricking wrecked shite, and the wedding scene with Wyman Manderly should have been so much better and more fitting retribution for the Red Wedding.


Plus, I’m a firm believer in the Mance = Arthur Dayne theory, so anything with Mance deserves great reverence imo.
