Bro Seasons 5-7 of GoT all performed better on IMDB than seasons 1-4.

8 years ago I literally heard normalfags unironically say "The show gets good around season 5 when the action really picks up." Now that the show is just going to be battles with short breaks for retarded exposition to cover Rhaenyra's ass of all wrongdoing by Hess and Condal, it's going to hit new heights of popularity because "it's no longer just people in rooms standing and talking" anymore.

You retarded Blackfag holy shit.
Viserys only inherited the throne because the throne passed to Jaehaerys over his older sister Rhaena. Then Baelon was chosen as heir over his older brother's daughter Rhaenys because he was male. Then Viserys was chosen at the Grand Counsin over his cousin Rhaenys and her son Laenor.

Viserys would never have come to the throne if not for agnatic inheritance three times over, which means Rhaenyra would never have been considered at all if women inherited equally to men.

The Blacks and Viserys himself have zero grounding to stand on in naming Rhaenyra heir over her uncle Daemon, let alone over her trueborn male siblings.

Is this show secretly Based and Redpilled

Does anyone else interpret this show as being written by manospherians masquerading as feminists?

Perils of women being in power (Alicent and Rhaenyra keep making insane Womyn Moment decisions, disastrous decisions that are literally traceable to them being female)

Perils of pushover girldad (Viserys) trying to please his girlboss daughter and letting his wife Alicent be the primary raiser of his children

Aegon being a drunken shortsighted fool and Aemond a perverse mommy issues school shooter both raised primarily by Alicent Hightower the girlboss

Tranny Pirate Captain being recklessly shortsighted. Perpetually worried looking negress with yarn on her head wrecking her own side with a wild Pitbull errr Dragon

Is Sara Hess secretly redpilled? Is Ryan Condal someone wrecking GRRM's feminist fantasies out of a desire to show the world what it's truly like when women, women-pleasing-men, and troons have positions of high authority?

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I havent read the books

You know how in game of thrones there are characters like baelish and varys and tyrion and tywin and olenna and stannis? Characters who arent very strong physically, but use their wits and other resources at their disposal to get ahead and outmaneuver strong foes. I guess the word for them is...smart?

Who are the smart characters in hotd?
Who do Condal and Hess want us, the audience, to think are the smart characters?

Jason Lannister was the twin who stayed in Westeros and whose forces fled from Daemon's & Oscar Tully's right before the episode began, only to run into the Northmen Greybeards offscreen, die offscreen, and have his head tossed at Daemon

Tyland Lannister is the twin who spent much of Season 2 being bullied by Essosi and got knocked off the ship by the troon, but might actually still be alive

True
Time does not exist to the ironborn, there is only the present, the now. A goldcloak yells, "Don't run, I will [in the future] shoot arrows at you!" This phrase is meaningless to the ironborn. In the ironborn's mind he has two choices: either to be detained by the guards, or to run and be free. The fact that the guard will start shooting arrows a few seconds into the future is incomprehensible to the ironborn. Ironborns are living in a science fiction parallel universe where there is no continuity with themselves 15-seconds into the future. As an Andal man you know that you will still be you 15-seconds into the future, you can see the probable consequences of your actions. Not so to the ironborn. The ironborn sees no relation to himself 15-seconds in the future, it is a completely different person. Their interests are unrelated if not opposed.

Once you understand that an ironborn cares as much about himself 15-seconds into the future as you do about some random ironborn, all of a sudden all ironborn decisions makes sense. Why start a rebellion you can't win? Some other random ironborn will have to get sieged down instead of you. Why rape some random northern girl? Some other random ironborn will go to the dungeon, not you, etc.

Now you can also appreciate the injustice of ironborn rebellions being put down. If an ironborn razed Lannisport 15-seconds ago, that was a completely different random ironborn to them. The ironborn getting sieged was just living his life (in an alternate universe where you forever live in one moment) and is now being sieged for literally no reason.

They’ve been trying to explain this to thick Andal people for years with the shorthand "The Iron Price". These tomboysh ironbron captainesses are trying to explain that, while to you it appears that her ironborn father committed some horrific act of violence, in fact that was actually a completely different ironborn in a parallel universe.

Don't let the show gaslight you into thinking that Rahenyra was locked into a room because she is a woman, because Aegon received the exact same treatment in season 2, being a man.
She was locked into a room because if she dies the war is fucking lost, everything else is Sara Hess not understanding the stakes of her own story.

>Can somebody refresh my memory, what was the big hubbub with Blood & Cheese last season? That Helaena immediately pointed to the son, instead of first trying to substitute with the daughter?
They removed Maelor, who she points out in the book, trying to protect the older heir. They kill the older one anyway and tell Maelor mommy tried to have him killed. This has some implications later when Maelor goes nuts.
Instead they made her POINT TO THE HEIR instead of trying to trick the murderers somehow. There's also no Maelor so the scene gets no importance later. In fact they seem to have tried to write him out but then they confirmed he's still in the show so they have to have him born like this season probably? Which makes more of a mess of things.

And to what fucking purpose was it changed? Making a worse story where she looks dumber?

It's a cool twist, but it doesn't change the fundamentals. That's not to say the show scene is better than the book scene (it isn't), but it's fine enough, and given the umpteen problems with S2, I struggle to remember why this choice specifically upset so many. I suppose because it's emblematic of the writers' frivolity with the text.

GoT it only technically worked once. If the burning of kjngs landing had been less retarded it'd have been a lot more notable that Dany, aware of ballistae, just fucking divebombs them and burns the rest of the city with impunity. During the relative height of dragon power actively used in warfare they're expecting us to believe 9/10 dragon riders are on dragons young enough to job to arrows and/or too personally stupid as riders to stay mobile and have target priority of any anti dragon assets an enemy army is using.

I don’t see how you can’t acknowledge it changing the fundamentals, but whatever.

What ultimately should’ve been a series defining scene was totally flat. People cared more about the dog.

I think it's more abstract. A deliberate disrespect to the source material for political reasons. Possibly because George is a White Male even though he's on their side.

bad directing and writing. they tried to include too much information into too short a time. just imagine watching helm's deep but it's 5min long. or mountain vs viper but it's 30sec long. and the fact they had more than 2 years to make it since it was supposed to be included in s2 and how much it was hyped, just makes it laughable

so is indecipherable and awkward dialogue, which as we all know, makes excellent television

I think Blackwater is just the best battle George has written so far because you actually care about people involved on both sides of the battle.

yes, it helps when you care about what's going on instead of it being boring depressing black people versus silly trannies

I think it's appropriate that this tv show is really just a feminist critique of Westerosi patriarchal structures and white privilege.
It's so refreshing.
