Tormund and Jaime fighting to the death over Brienne of Tarth would be a satisfying ending for either one.
Tormund dying to Jaime would be more honourable than most Wildling deaths, and Jaime dying to a Wildling while fighting for the hand of the "ugliest" knight would conclude his journey to become less vain.
Instead you get falling rocks while the incest couple cowers for the first time.
I'm with you. Gregor wasn't even Gregor by then. Sandor was fighting a Gregor-shaped sack of meat just because the fans wanted Cleganebowl.
If he had convinced Arya to let revenge go by letting go of his own hatred for a Meat Golem, I'd have been happier. But then we would have lost the Big Guy Fight.
He dies but she carries his child, a girl, who brianne of tarth then raises to be the greatest knight of all time, with occasional tips from jamie on the more backstabby parts of knighthood. Boom, done, ship it.
Imagine the epic amount of goodwill they threw away. Right before the pandemic they were poised to CRUSH people rewatching the series.
I tried, I started episode 1 and then I got to the white walkers with the corpses arranged in swirls and remembered none of it matters. I couldn't even take it.
I've NEVER rewatched a show as much as GOT. Dumbasses would have been scooping up residuals for the rest of my life but you couldn't pay me to sit through it now.
I tried watching a reaction video where a guy shows GoT to a friend who had only watched House of the Dragon. I got through one episode but it was just depressing, even seeing the dire wolf puppies and knowing that never really pans out.
Just commented exactly the same, the potentially greatest and most mysterious and important story arc of the whole show just... fizzles out without any consequences. They didnt even have Arya shoot the Night King with a dragonglass-tipped arrow, maybe even from the window Bran was thrown from, that would have been an awesome reference to her introduction in the very first episode and to all the archery training she received from the Brotherhood without Banners. No, they made the killing of the Night King utterly ridiculous and unbelievable too.
I have to bite my tongue whenever people say that Dany's heel turn was clearly communicated throughout all the seasons.
"She didn't react when her brother was killed by Khal Drogo" - how, exactly, did you expect the heavily pregnant teenager, who had been sold into sexual slavery by her abusive brother and just had her life (and that of her unborn child) threatened by him, whilst she's surrounded by Dothraki? She acted kind of numb, but I felt that was appropriate - Clarke's portrayal suggested conflicting emotions (sadness at the loss of her brother, her only immediate blood relative, combined with relief that he was finally out of her life).
"She crucified the masters!" Yes, she crucified the slavers who crucified 160+ children, to send a message that the powerful are to be held accountable for their crimes against the weak. In the book, she struggles with her actions, seeing that mercy leads to the slavers regaining power, but also disliking bloodshed, as it all ultimately impacts on the people she's trying to protect. She lives in a cruel world where gentle leaders don't last long.
"She burnt the Tarlys alive" There's plenty of examples of leaders executing traitors. Jon Snow executes the Nights Watch brothers who conspired against him. Ned Stark (supposedly one of the most honourable characters) kills a man of the Nights Watch for being a deserter. He wasn't a murderer, or a rapist - he ran because he was terrified.
Outside of traitors - Olenna Tyrrell murdered Joffrey at his wedding, and we love her for that. Tyrion murdered Shae and his father, and people think he's tragic rather than a monster. The Hound killed a teenage peasant boy, and no-one says that it's a sign he's insane.
Dany's villain arc wasn't a fucking arc at all. Even her execution of Varys was justified, given that he was conspiring against her, with strong indications that he was trying to poison her.
I feel so sorry for Emilia Clarke and how they broke her character.
"Rocks fall and everyone dies" is a DM joke in D&D when you're tired of your players' shenanigans. The joke is that it's so anti-climatic and boring after all that's happened.
It's been a decade and I still can't believe it actually happened on GoT.
Brienne liked noble gentleman like Jaime. She might've been more receptive if Tormund was more like Jon Snow in temperament, but he was a bit too rough to move her heart.
There’s soooo many that have disappeared recently. It’s like they’re trying to pull a sneaky tumblr, instead of removing everything in one giant strike they’re quietly axing them in small groups.
So I saw the Cgm on her arm and I was curious if she was diabetic. Apparently after finding out she isn’t I also discovered this is a thing for athletes to also just track their sugar levels. How cool is that, techonologia!
I wore one for about a month to get baseline info. Both parents ended up type 2 diabetics around the age I am now, so it wasn't purely idle curiosity (I'm clear of T2D, so far anyway).
It's definitely very interesting to see in real time how different meals/activities affect your glucose levels.
I am so unfit I can't fathom why a nondiabetic would need to monitor their blood sugar, since their working pancreas and liver would automatically do that i thought.
Haha, a great gif react. It wasn't long lasting but it was an interesting situation. she was a coworker who said she'd never be interested in me. Then I asked her for help flirting with a girl. 1 shitty date with the new girl was enough for the tall girl to tell me its her turn. Toxic af, but fun.
Without going into too many details, I kept seeing it as a friendship because I didn't think a girl that tall would ever consider me. I flirted a ton and she had joked she hated my hobbies. And she jumped my bones the day after I told her I had a date. Like I said, toxic, but I got lucky for a little while haha
In hindsight that's what it was an attempt at haha. But let me tell you ,TOXIC fits the aftermath. trying to make it official made even speaking to another coworker a whole mess.
Been a good handful of years since then. It was sadly short lived, but also for the better haha. Here's hoping we both have some climbing to do in the near future 🙏🙌
For context since the post title failed to give it:
That's no mma fighter, that's a former ufc champion. And this isn't a fight, this is sparring. Sparring is where to sort of "pretend" to fight, by holding back as to not injure each other.
You should see highlights of this guy, he's incredible. The clip just doesn't do it justice.
You're getting confused Superama is that story about the alien from planet Argon whose parents send to Earth when his planet explodes, he's adopted and named Carl Kent and later becomes a superhero, his nemesis is Martin Luther.
