i'll repeat it from last thread because i want people to try and change my mind

what was the value of the flashback other than the "get up" motif (which could've been conveyed in just a few minutes)?

the whole teenage love story adventures with genderswapped Rafe was unnecessary and shit. it completely reverses Dunk's origins - the book reason he knows how to manhandle Aerion is because Dunk was a street thug who learned how to brawl at a young age which is likely why Arlan saw the potential in him. Dunk wasn't some timid pussy following a girlboss like the show invented

the flashback also downgrades Dunk as a character somewhat because now we know he didn't protect Tanselle out of a knightly vow to protect the innocent, he protected her because she looked like a dead girlfriend he was still pining over

the good part of the flashback was showing that Arlan, despite all the back and forth, was still a proper knight who protected the innocent and taught Dunk to always keep going. but that didn't need 20 minutes and it didn't need to happen at the cost of 98% of the Trial happening off-screen

No, i think that was the moment Egg decided that Summerhall was a good idea. Since then everything went downhill, there was no turning back. Before Summerhall there was some hope that Targs can stay in power if Egg gives up on his stupid reforms.
>>
>>218041608
I agree with that anon. It wasn't terrible but wasn't good either. 1) the choreography of Jaime's actor sucked. Dude is a great character actor but he's very clearly never held a sword or moved with one before filming that scene. 2) It's a show invention, Ned never fought Jaime sword to sword, and even if he did it shouldn't be such a close match.

The timeline could've still held on, barely, even after Baelor's death. Maekar was a solid king overall, despite personally being miserable for the rest of his life. And Egg's reign was okay until Summerhall, which is where it went to shit.
But yeah Baelor could've ensured a stable next 70-100 years for the dynasty.

do you think it is a pure coincidence that Dunk's childhood girlfriend bears a striking resemblance to Tanselle, and that they cast similar looking actresses by accident? maybe if you rubbed your two braincells together you'd realize there's something the showrunners are trying to communicate to you with that casting choice

You can tell the flashback sucked by looking at all of social media. Everyone discussing the episode is only talking about the melee or about Baelor. On reddit and tiktok I have honest to god not seen a single post giving a damn about the scenes from the flashback before Arlen shows up. Nobody considers it interesting or worth mentioning.

Why was Viserys doing this, at this point? He has enough kids at this point. He knows at this point that his marriage to Alicent only happened because of Otto's manipulation. He knows she does not want to share his bed. And yet he just ordering her into his bed and keeps knocking her up. Does he just want sex and doesn't give a shit? Vissy T reminds me of Aegon IV the more I think about him.

If anything about the stuff with Rafe was interesting or likeable, at least someone on this god's green earth would make social media posts about it. Nobody did, nobody gives a shit about that character or these scenes, and once the hypeglasses fall off people will admit it was nonsense. Same thing happened with Rhaenys in HOTD, at first people cheered and clapped at this character but once the dust settled even the slowbrains admitted she was a dogshit character. This will take time too.
>>
>>218041583
>>218041722
the only connection between Tanselle and Rafe is that Duncan witnessed two girls being harmed by men and wanted to protect them both, but he obvioulsy failed with one, and after seeing Arlan do for him what he couldn't do for one led him to living a life where he wouldn't fail again, i think you actually just hate the flashback cause she's brown

We agree on the get up motif. We also agree it was important to actually demonstrate that Ser Arlan cared about the innocent and was a proper knight.

I don’t care about the gender swap, because I didn’t know the original gender. The love story was fake and gay.

However, Rafe’s behavior (thief, antagonistic, no empathy or mercy) juxtaposes Dunks good nature. They both come from Flea Bottom and are orphans, but Dunk doesn’t let that influence his understanding of right and wrong.

Also, you’re a fool if you think Dunk wouldn’t have intervened on anyone’s behalf. It was particularly emotionally poignant because of their physical similarities, but Dunks inability to protect the innocent previously is his main motivating factor in his intervention.

It was too long, but it’s likely due to budget constraints. There wasn’t any money to extend the trial, which is already extended from the book.

I have greater qualms with its placement than its content. The entire love story could have padded an earlier episode, and pushed part of episode 4 into episode 5. Then only the Ser Arlan segment would have been in episode 5.

I liked the abruptness of the throat cutting. And Arlan saved the whole thing of course.

he only did Summerhall because he was desperate and knew the Targs were fucked in the near future if they didn't have dragons.

>>
>>218041583
>what was the value of the flashback

Dunk constantly questions himself for "not knowing his place", only for this insight into his childhood raffirm that this is where he was always gonna be, he was never gonna stand by and let the innocent die again even at the cost of his own life, he has always dealt with the unfairness of life and feudal society his whole life, it's what fuels him, it's what keeps him going, keeps him walking (after arlan through sickness and fatigue and pain), keeps him getting back up, and aspire to be something better than this world deserves, Arlan means the world to him because he is the knight who remembers his vow, and if following in his footsteps led him into this predicament then so be it.

my only problem with the flashback is it's placement

>no scene of Raymun painting over his apple into green color (i kinda get why, the show wanted to speed things up)
and as someone said, the stuff with Rafe should not have been in this episode. i think it should've been in episode 3 before Dunk saves Tanselle, that would've been good timing. but in this episode, only the bits with Arlan should've been here

That's from the novellas. That's Dunk's past. Dunk was the worst of them. The show's take on Dunk's past is in complete clash with the source material. So when we're talking about "Dunk's past" you're talking about fanfic nonsense by referring to the show, while I am talking about the truth. Now fuck off you tourist nigger retard.

i rewatched the fight and his injuries actually aren't that extreme, his two worse injusries happened at the start, the lance splinter, and maekar hitting him in the head, his next injuries are two small penetrations to his hupper leg (mail stopped everything but the tip so not fatal at all), his hand being stabbed, stabbed in the back (mail stopped most of it), more hits to the shoulder from a mace, stabbed on his outer thigh (sword was thrown, deep past the mail but not fatal)

a man could survive this, what's crazy is that he gets back up and keeps fighting but he passed out twice in the fight so.. i think it was realistic or at least believable. It did feel like Rocky but with knights after awhile but that is Dunk.

Bobby B never wanted a dynasty, so it's not a loss for him. He just wanted to protect Westeros from targshits and we know now he was 100% in the right to order Dany to be killed. Robert was never wrong about a single thing, despite being a drunken whoremonger

One of the ways that more skillful showrunners and writers get around the DEI bullshit is to contain it in a way where it doesn't contaminate the primary thread of the show. An extreme would be if you had a show like GOT and to avoid all of the DEI taint that would ruin your show, you just created a place codenamed "DEI Island." On DEI Island you have tons of homosexuals, pedophiles, transgenders, primordial looking black people, midgets, balding women, white women in their 40s, and other assorted undesirables and freaks of nature.

Now, every so often you have to check in DEI Island, but what happens on DEI Island has little to no impact on what happens in Westeros. Maybe occasionally a person from DEI Island arrives in King's Landing, does something inconsequential, maybe even just dies, and then they leave. This keeps the Marxists and Moloch worshipers that you are surrounded by happy. After all, there's a whole island of DEI types!

This also allows easy fan edits to just exclude all the aspects of the show that take place on DEI Island or involve it, so it's a way of almost encrypting your show to be viewable despite the globohomo mafia in control of everything that regularly needs their ring kissed. In the case of KOTSK, they just crammed it into a flashback. Compare this with the disasters that Netflix churns out. You can really see who is a true member of the DEI crowd and who just entertains it as a necessary evil.

You'll see a lot more of this in the future.

>he only did Summerhall because he was desperate and knew the Targs were fucked in the near future if they didn't have dragons.
The targs were able to keep going for more than 100 years without dragons, they could easily keep going for another 100.
The actual issue is that Egg was frustrated that he could never pass his reforms for the smallfolk without his kids playing along with the marriages he arranged for them, but with dragons he wouldn't need the great houses opinion on things, his desperation was about his powerleness to uplift the smallfolk's lives
>but the reality is that if the North, Vale, Iron Islands, or Dorne decided to just declare independence the Iron Throne was too weak to do anything
Eh if they actually wanted to declare independence summerhall was the perfect pretext as the targs were at their weakest yet, it took the targs being ousted by Robert and the wholeWar of the Five Kings for the whole independence thing to actually come into full swing with 3 different kingdoms, so I don't think there was every a threat of either rebellion or independence without Aerys escalating things into a full scale war

To some extent, but it was probably not intentional quarantining in that case. It's a better strategy though than HOTD where they took an entire house and flipped them black. Turning Essos basically into Africa allowed them to work with Westeros in an uncontaminated way, but they still fucked it up anyway ultimately.

if the Targs were good rulers they would have worked towards unifying them over the course of 300 years. Instead they relied on violence via dragons and armies. Starks in comparison were big brained and by providing for the smallfolk that come to winter town for shelter from across the entire North during winter, they earn the loyalty of their vassals own men. End result is stable rule because their bannermen can't even rely on their smallfolk to turn against the Starks

I don't think so. Gurrm has not given a single thought about the laws, judicial systems and government structures of Westeros beyond crass stuff like the right of the first night and trials by combat. He is unwilling and even unable to think about things like tax policy, ironically enough.

Bret Deveraux has given Gurrm a severe academic beatdown on his dothraki subsistence for example.
>GRRM: I am not looking for academic tomes about changing patterns of land use, but anecdotal history rich in details of battles, betrayals, love affairs, murders, and similar juicy stuff.
>Devereaux: That’s an odd position for an author who critiquesotherauthors for being insufficiently clear about their characters’ tax policy (what does he think they are taxing, other than agricultural land use?)
https://acoup.blog/2020/12/11/collections-that-dothraki-horde-part-ii-subsistence-on-the-hoof/

There was also an interview a long time ago that Grrm did with a law history youtuber. It became very aparent in that one that Grrm has not given any deeper thought to the justicial system of Westeros. (And afterwards he wrote on his notablog that he was now inspired to write a story about a westerosi lawyer lmao). I can try to find it again.

When the Targaryens lost their dragons, it was over. It'd be like going into Somalia or the Middle East and thinking you can bring peace and stability to the region with hand to hand combat or just outright pacifism. War and destruction is the natural desired state of the region. Westeros is, from a plot standpoint, a doomed continent. Everyone fights and kills each other endlessly (look at how things were in the pre-Conquest era) while the Others/White Walkers build their power base north of the wall. Uniting everyone via dragons in this case gave the people unknowingly the best chance they had against the looming threat, but their nature was still to desire chaos and destruction, always seeking to shatter the unity.

Without Aegon's conquest, inevitably the Others would have found a way through the wall, swept south, and killed every single person on the continent. Dragons, ultimate force, is the only thing that keeps the savages of Westeros in check. As soon as the Targaryens lost them, there was nothing they were going to be able to do to keep people from rebelling, seceding, etc. There was always going to be another Blackfyre or scorned Baratheon or Defiance of Duskendale and there was always going to be factions popping up who were angry at the way the crown handled those insurrections. Westeros is doomed and the error the Targaryens made, Dany included if we use the show, is putting such a high premium on ruling the shithole that absolutely doesn't want to be ruled.

Inevitably Westeros is a country that whether it's dragons or magical necromantic elf creatures from the North, the only way it will adhere to order is through centralized overwhelming force. This is the setting.

As I see it, the text implies Arlan didn't just save him from poverty, but rather from the life of being a common criminal who could have become a dangerous thief and end up dead at 16.

Justice for our Golden Dragon, the One True King of Westeros, Aegon II Targaryen "The Dragoncock"!
>>
watching HOTD and i feel like there is zero continuity between young Rhaenyra and adult Rhaenyra

not only do the actresses look completely different (yes they do) and express themselves completely differently, but the character is completely different too
young Rhaenyra was terrified of childbirth because of what happened to her mother and then in the timeskip she has kids and doesn't give a fuck and there's zero emphasis on how she dealt with this

The Starks have been Kings of the North for thousands of year, they're so fucking ancient we don't know how they even got a hold of the region in the first place. The Targaryens on the other hand are outsiders whose only right to rule over the people and Lords of Westeros is the right of conquest, so of course they need military might to impose their will, as every conqueror dynasty has needed it for thousands of years of human history.
Besides their political ambitions are completely different, since I assure you that any other Kingdom would fight the Starks if they tried to rule over them, because why the fuck would a stormlander or a westerman obey fucking northmen?

>Without Aegon's conquest, inevitably the Others would have found a way through the wall, swept south, and killed every single person on the continent
the Starks defeated the Others the first time with no dragons and the Wall didn't even exist. Targs main character syndrome fucked everything up and created a self-fulfilling prophecy that weakened Westeros for the White Walkers to invade

no, their last attempt was over 1000 yeas ago and even that wasn't a real rebellion against the Starks. They teamed up with a Stark cadet branch to try and take Winterfell, so even the Boltons were just trying to replace Starks with other Starks because their hold was so strong

>pleb
There are two methods of story telling you plebbit accusing nigger
One is difect, into the action, no explaination necessary
The other is a refined sequence of events
Flashbacks are ALWAYS a weak burden on the lack of creative expression and are the modicum of cope with regards to originality of any given narrative
Its much better to fast forward and end it there than constantly be drug back and forth between the irrelevant chapters of the past to try and eggsplain something presently
If you didnt get the job done beforehand, its weak as fuck and improper construction of character development to cope with endless waves of flashbacks
Flashbacks serve a purpose in the moment of brevity, nothing more and nothing less
And moreoften than not its for a feminine mind/audience/reader, because theyre such pathetic sources of engagement
Moreover they always suck ass if theyre longer than a few seconds or the retarded lowest common denominator tldr of what happened in the prior movie film- because youre that retard who decided to skip the background and most people cant chew gum and walk

the Riverlands all but begged for good, strong, honorable Stark leadership and kneeled instantly to Robb. If Targs hadn't shown up, the Starks probably would have kicked the Hoares asses and liberated the Riverlands. Vale would also be easy, support the mountain clans there and replace the Arryns with the Royces

If anyone in this clusterfuck had any pacing in mind, the first primer episode wouldve been dunks bavkground in fleabottom; the climax to his adoption as a squire on the road
The second episode wouldve been the progression into manhood, his mentor's death, instead of SHIDDING FARDING AND PEEPEE POOPOO; straight to finding egg and landing a tourney aspiration
Third episode the bargaining of enlistment into the tourney with various lords and knights
Fourth episode , the one and only flashback, painted shield, puppetshow princess getting btfo by a cuntboy
And then fifth episode; an entire 30 minute melee

Blam, i just saved you dumb cunts 5 million in budget by prioritizing a proper sequence of events; instead of stupid fucking toilet humor and endless fucking flashbacks; which are again, feminine and pointless if you constructed a proper narrative

Also the child actress getting killed was the best because that ended anymore screen time with her dumbass- wholly irrelevant and detracts from the story

In a society where you can decide things by single combat, it's useful to have a guy who's 7 feet tall and built like a linebacker. It's like Tywin having the Mountain, except Dunk isn't a sadistic serial rapist.

>>218043023
I'm not sure I agree. We can see for a fact that the Targaryen dynasty continued to rule for a century after they lost their dragons. And the new Baratheon king after them also ruled over a united realm. After Robert's death a series of succesion and civil wars breaks out, but most of the belligerents want to keep the realm intact and just replace who's on top. The idea of westerosi unity and central kingship seem to have become deeply ingrained in westeros culture. Remember that there are also other unified, centralized institutions like the Maesters and the Church of the Seven.

The injuries shouldn't stretch disbelief too much. They were fatal. Dunk was dead. He collapsed, his eyes were open, he stopped breathing. Egg then through force of will and unintentional R'hllor magic brought Dunk back from the dead.

If the North is so tough why did Ned bring such a troop of jobbers to Kings Landing with him

>>218043258
You're proving my point, during the War of The Five Kings the Riverlands supported the North, which out of the Seven Kingdoms it is the one with which they share most ethnic, cultural and historical ties, besides the fact that their Houses were bonded by family at that moment. Without a centralizing force exerted by an external agent, the Seven Houses would end up returning to their regional, independent rules.

Yes, but no House has the legitimacy or consensus to rule over the others in a truly centralized manner. So the two possible outcomes are:
1)Westeros becomes and elective monarchy,were the King isn't really powerful enough to boss around the other Lords
2)They accept Aegon Blackfyre as their rightful ruler so he can bring peace and prosperity to the realm.

This is pure speculation but I think he made 4 more kids to protect Rhaenyra from Daemon
if Rhaenyra had no siblings and happened to "die" before making any kids the throne would immediately pass over to Daemon. And Daemon is a shady enough bastard to kill her for this.
It's harder ot get the throne if there are 5 other people ahead of you though
In the end that plan backfired and the war broke out between Rhaenyra and Aegon instead, so he's still a giant retard

>>218043693
No, Maekar was going for the kill.
>>
>>218043614
Honestly I can see it. It's perfectly in character for Viserys. Vaguely aware of what he should to but too weak/sentimental to do it, so instead he half-asses it. A stronger king would have just had Daemon executed for the "heir for a day" shit.

Yeah and he’d have a seven foot tall manservant to boot
>>
>>218043693
Bloodraven was going to kill him eitherway
>>
>>218043693
Probably. I think the idea with armor is that it's supposed to be able to crumple in without killing you, that's why breastplates have a bit of a curve to them instead of being tight against the chest. If Baelor has a better helmet he just gets his bell rung, but he lives. Ironically though he's probably knocked out and unable to tell Steely Pate not to pour boiling oil on Dunk, so Dunk dies and this was all for nothing.
>>
>>218043693
His survival changes would have definitely improve.
Not only the plate would match his measurements, but the padding beneath would have cushion better Maekar's blows.
>>
>>218043614
>And Daemon is a shady enough bastard to kill her for this.
No, Daemon would just force her to marry him and make himself a king
>>
>>218043693
yes, the helmet was too small and was not made for him, but then again Maekar probably thought Daeron died after the first charge and was desperate to not lose another son, any man between him and Aerion was at risk of death at that point
>>

The nature of Westeros is best seen with Tywin's upbringing. Tywin understands Westeros well. Kindness is seen as weakness and vulnerability to be exploited. The only counter to it is calculated overwhelming force which shocks everyone into compliance. Tywin's dad was soft and he was taken advantage of. Tywin comes into power and destroys the Reynes and Tarbecks and everyone basically goes "yeah, let's not fuck with him ever again." That's ultimately what you need to do to keep Westeros in check because again, there's always a Bolton waiting to betray you, a Hightower or Tyrell looking to jump up another level of status, a bunch of houses looking to lift up a Blackfyre or equivalent as the legitimate king, and eventually without dragons in that setting, you will lose. Whether it happens quickly and all at once or you get worn down over a few generations, it's still swimming in acid. Even Tywin eventually loses because he treats his kids like shit and gets taken out in a vulnerable position on the toilet by his son and without Tywin, things quickly start going to shit for the Lannisters because Tywin was their dragon equivalent. Kevan is sort of a "smaller dragon" and Varys promptly takes him out as well.
