I wouldn't bother since they'll never be finished. First three are some of the best fantasy books ever though.

And Cersi was only there because all the men around her died. Bobby B died early on, Joffery was poisoned, and Tomen rage quit life. Even when she was in power she wasn't exactly great at it
She controlled every single one of those situations. She was always in control one way or another. And agree, she was terrible at it from the beginning. She was not a leader. Just a tyrant.

What's wrong with Brienne being a badass? Plus she won by using her environment without that she loses
Im just saying. He was unbeatable except by her. Which was just odd in reality. Im sure a lot of monsters in that time , were beaten by women?
quote:
Let's not act like Sansa was relevant here, only reason she even had a say was because Jon said so he was still the leader.
In the end, she got exactly what she wanted. No matter if she deserved it or not. She somehow went from a total brat of a child to "Queen in the north" without doing a single thing
I guess John trekking north with the Free folk was a good ending for him. I dont know if the ending would have been better with him on the throne or not. A lot of people did not like the ending. Just not sure what should have happened
If you think about who was left on the council who picked the cripple for the king , none of them were involved with the overtaking of Kings landing. Just a bunch of bystanders.

It’s been a long time since I read and I don’t remember the show exactly, but wasn’t he sick from infection due to wounds from his prior fight in the pub? Brianne beat a wounded Hound that was severely stunted due to injry

It was after the fight at the pub but I dont remember him being injured. If it were a normal person, I dont think it would be a big deal but the hound was a big Mofo who beat 8 people in the pub more or less by himself. Now he basically loses his life to a girl?
I know there are dragons flying around in that show but that is just not very believable. His final fight with the mountain was a great scene in the show. "Just die already".

Brienne also beat Loras (and everyone else) in a tournament battle royale in an early book. She was written by GRRM as an incredible sword fighter.

Story is quite a bit better in the books too. One of my favorites. He went through A LOT more than what the show was able to show. And it ended on a semi cliff hanger so we'll never really get his full story. But his reunion with Asha (Yara) was really emotional. Easily one of my favorite arcs in the books. And show too really.

His story was a good one in the series. Lots of ups and downs. I though his fight on the beach to convince the Iron born to go get Yara was a big moment for him.

It’s in the pilot or 2nd episode where he says the iron islanders are the best archers in Westeros and then it’s never really relevant until the long night where they all protect bran as archers
I just did a full rewatch and was like oh yeah I forgot how elite they were. Glad they’re paying this off

Makes me so mad how they bungled the ending of the show.
Watching the show again now and it really does start to drop off in season 6 and beyond.
6 is still great for the last two episodes but there are sooooo many things that happen very conveniently or without the same amount of thought that went into the first 4 seasons. My wife and I both talk about this during the show and it’s a lot more noticeable the more you rewatch.

In my opinion had he not lost his dick he would have never turned " good"

his dad, who I must say is one of the more underrated counts
I just want to know two things before Martin dies.
What did Euron pay the Faceless Man to kill his brother? It would have been expensive base on what Littlefinger said.
Why was a faceless man in the Black cells at the beginning of the show, before being freed by Arya?

In the show the infection was from the Biter who bit the Hound on the neck right after the Hound stabbed the dying man in the heart in that village.

Who was gonna be over the 7 kingdoms? was a fight between Sansa, Dani and Cersi. Who else lead major houses? Little girl Mormont, Eventually Yari
Sansa ending made me hate her character even more.
The show was always about Dani vs Cersi on their colliding course. This is why Jon and others in the show became characters, so many liked. The real heroes of the show were the ones that did not seek power.
House Greyjoy and Mormont had no power in the 7 kingdoms and in the end Mormont no longer existed.
quote:
The biggest plot of the show is how to beat the army of the dead. Kill the night King is the way. Who kills him you ask?
This also was annoying. So much build up for such a disappointing ending.
In regard to Cersi I think her death was a wasted moment. I understand they tried make her human in the end but in reality, she should have went out on her own terms. I wanted to see her blow up the Red Keep and the city with wildfire.

Yea, she was but she was just another example of the writers doing the girl power thing. Thats pretty much the entire show and the prequel. It took a lot away from the story for me
i mean I know you know this is based off a book
The writers didn't invent this character to add girl power.
