It was pretty anticlimactic. There was no exchange between Bran and the NK, and she just swoops in at the last second and ends the war. NK didn’t really fight anyone, neither did the WW’s. It was lame.

It was a great episode. Proper lighting could have made it top 5

Not this shite again. You retards act like TLJ and GOT are the only series with tons of fan theories.

Agreed, you can only show your heroes on the brink of death so many times before it loses tension. Even the raising of the dead felt like a nothingburger.

I mean, it is exactly what he is saying.

Because Jon didn't do it in the duel he expected, it's wrong.

Anything else in anti-climactic and uncreative, but for the most basic and uncreative of all possible outcomes

It’s amazing to me. A show that was heralded for doing the unexpected, now being trashed for doing something unexpected

This is valid. My only real complaint about the episode.

quote:

Theon. . . but I get what you are saying.

He is more of a King, than a warrior. He never fights at any point in the series.

quote:

I'd say this is a valid complaint, moreso than the NK not fighting. At least they have a precedent for fighting.

But the episode and the climax were still pretty amazing.

Loved it. Excited for the next 3.

It was pretty bad, nothing like this.

But the Anti-SJW militia has amped up reactions and rhetoric to 11. Nothing is allowed to be ok or good.

It has to be either the greatest thing ever, or the worst, childhood killing thing to have ever happened

Sometimes it is deserved. . .but most times it is not.

what if... they had godzilla pop out of the ground and burn the entire undead army and WW with his fire breath? and he became the new night king... cuz hes the king of the monsters... and the dragons go fight for him because hes the alpha?

now THAT would be unexpected











when will you understand that there's a difference in something being "unexpected" that maintains the laws/themes of the story that have been built for the past 7 seasons instead of just throwing in shite for the sake of it?

Well, when you put out a pretty terrible ending to one of the major focal points of an 8 season show, this is what you get.


Yes.

So just because Arya killed him instead of Jon, that’s throwing shite in for the sake of it? What if instead of Arya, they had Bran stab him with a knife he had under his cloak when he walked up to Bran in the wheelchair? Would that have been a better scenario?

A lot of assholes on Reddit that are pissed Bran is not the Night King.

Yep.

Arya as a character is fine. How the character was utilized in the last episode was terrible.

It did the unexpected in creative and well written ways, now it’s just doing unexpected things just to do them because they unfortunately have no material to work with. It all falls on the fat man for not putting it out there.

arya couldn't sneak past 5 wights in the library

she suddenly appears like peter pan after getting past 1000 wights and every WW without anyone even noticing.

the night king is in the middle of grabbing his sword as she screams and comes at him like a spider monkey. but he's quick enough to turn, catch her by the throat and killing arm from a few feet away. Arya drops the knife and knowing that the NK has super fast reflexes as we just saw, he just casually watches it fall waiting to be caught in her out stretched hand.

y'all are actually defending michael bay & zack snyder level of story telling here


next episode we'll find out that cerseis mothers name and jons mothers name were actually Martha and then they team up and kill Dany. so unexpected!!!!!!

Stop it, just stop it. 

You beta cucks that keep pushing that narrative are just as bad as those of us who see it as yet another case of Hollywood dreaming shite up about women being able to defeat men in mortal hand to hand combat. 

It’s make believe, it’s fantasy. 

Still, and pay close attention here .... having Arya take the NK out, as they did, after seven years of buildup, as they did, was anticlimactic. It lacked imagination. It lacked creativity. 

It’s become a reoccurring theme in modern Hollywood .... brave little desperate girl defeats monsterous evil white male, against all odds, and saves the day right when all seems lost. 

Yah 

They could have done far better. The could have made it epic.


I stopped at "beta cuck". Hit the upvote and then finished the rest.
