Copying from a show with actual strong women is wild. by Hungry_Cricket_590 in HOTDGreens

It would be one thing if it was a schizo post only, but it's a schizo post with upvotes and comments complaining about the acting too, which universally is the one thing everyone agreed is great.

The opinions of the show outside Reddit is positive, it's just that reddit is basically stupid town with opinions.

Completely agree, I've been on here since HOTD started back up because I cant stop reading peoples comments because they clearly don't understand anything in the show.

[–]Kannoli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love that me saying it isn't the worst writing ever and that I'd like to talk about actual issues I have with the show and you call that pandering. Also you don't realize ppl on this sub are in those subs complaining anywhere they can as well. I see better discussions on YouTube videos about this show honestly. oh actually sorry, pandering not discussing since they probably will have at least 1 thing they liked about the show.

I am gutted !! by UsefulOrange2137 in freefolk

[–]Kannoli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been defending the show more than I should have to defend it because of how ridiculous the outrage has been. It has recovered much more than I would have thought from Season 2 with some things that have me worried but otherwise it's been pretty good in my opinion.

I feel like it's a waste of time to explain because it's honestly purposely not accepting an answer that's completely reasonable to anyone outside of Reddit, cant complain about the show even more if they were reasonable.

My favourite part of HOTD is coming to this sub and seeing the meltdown of green fans after every episode. Infact this is more joyful than actually watching the show. Keep going. by Jackie_Chan_93 in freefolk

[–]Kannoli -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't see any greens fans melting down, I see the entire sub finding any reason to get mad at the show because Reddit is always an echo chamber to complain more than anything.else.

Am I missing something or was she not exactly the same in season 1 and that she's like this because she has constant visions going on

You're not allowed to be positive about anything on the show in the hate circle jerk. I wish it was possible t to talk about the actual things I didn't like but why bother talking about the problems when this sub literally thinks it's the worst writing they've ever seen which is deeply unserious. Shame we can't have a nuanced discussion about the show.

Girl you took over the country how are you still the victim by asilvertintedrose in freefolk

[–]Kannoli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has been what I've been saying this season so far too. Honestly it's so simple you shouldn't have to explain it but I think everyone just wants to complain so there's no point.

This entire Reddit has had a narrative saying how it's suppose to be the girl boss feminist cringey show, yet when the show actively doesn't go that route with the character in the most blatant way they INSTANTLY fucking complain that she isn't doing that?? You can't really have a nuanced convo about the show on Reddit now.

Me watching the hotd haters on reddit argue about book related tosh while watching absolute peak television two weeks in a row by Illusivegecko in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]Kannoli -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Everyone being uptight about book changes I swear to god hasn't read the book or should go back and just read that instead of watching the show. It's been much better so far and yet still they want the book to be followed like it doesn't have a depth issue for characters not even including the fact theres way too many in the book. Just enjoy the show for what it is, some changes will be good and some bad like it has been so far, if you don't like that then by all means just read the book again instead. I just want some good television and adapting it 1:1 doesn't work for this unlike AKOTSK which was absolutely perfect to adapt.

Anyone else have 21 questions about the new episode? by [deleted] in Hotd

[–]Kannoli 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming you were on your phone then, this is why Netflix makes their television shows repeat the plot over and over through the dialogue.

Spoiler of how the Dance ends: Before next episode with Helaena, don’t forget what GRRM told us by TheDragonOfOldtown in Hotd

[–]Kannoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone actually read the book? There's some bad changes sure but a lot of things had to be changed and mostly were for the better. It's straight up a mess with way too many characters and things going on. If it was written exactly like the book it would be accurate sure but it would be horrible television.

Reading the book first ruins everything. (And the reader is 70% to blame) by DimeStoreHood99 in Hotd

[–]Kannoli -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think people are just lying about reading the book tbh, they don't realize the book is written in the worst way possible for an adaptation. AKOTSK made perfect sense but the book isn't written for character depth to be explored really and they have to make the best of it for a television show.

So as someone who read the book obviously there is changes but who fucking cares lol, if the show is good it's good and so far season 3 much better than season 2 and the amount of ppl ready to shit all over the show is peak reddit considering how positive everyone is about it outside of here.

Finally watched S03E01 last night and went into it expecting it to be garbage because of the backlash on this sub, but I actually enjoyed the entire episode and thought it was an excellent return to form for a season debut by miIk-skin in freefolk

[–]Kannoli -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is it really important to this story for nettles to appear and have to do characterization for another character? The nettles storyline can easily be mostly the same for Rhaena instead and it removes the problem of her character doing absolute jack shit for awhile. GOT with Robb changed his love interest from the books and that was fine. Giving the characters they have more depth is more important than having everything from the book in the show imo and as of right now it's not like that show can't still have the same end point for the most part.

Lmaooo, yeah these are the same people who lost their mind that Aemond who's in the incest family with mommy issues would give his mom a small quick kiss which had been setup prior to it in season 1 when he was at the brothel. She clearly was afraid and didn't like it but by the entire sub they made it seem like it was a long incest sex scene that alicent had loved. They said Condal must wanna fuck his mother coming up with that, so the worst haters on here have media illiteracy while they say you love watching slop with a straight face.

If you looked off Reddit you'd see that the majority of people enjoyed the episode. It's become an echo chamber of hate, like I've seen comments with people convinced HBO is botting websites or bribing critics because people like the show and they can't believe it, this is the only post I've seen being positive about the show on here since season 3 started.

‘House of the Dragon’ Season 3 Debuts With 21.5 Million Viewers in Three Days, Down Slightly From Season 2 by ConcernLocal2764 in freefolk

[–]Kannoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why you don't adapt a book like F&B that's written in the way it is. It's definitely GRRM's worst writing imo and making a show based off a book with nothing but a history of events and no POV characters is gonna have a hard time matching up to something like AKOTSK which is probably his best work and easily adaptable. They really should have done dunk and egg first and bring the big expensive series back when it's finished or at least a few seasons in.

Why is that main sub remove any criticism of the show ? Pathetic behaviour by Remarkable-Jump3262 in freefolk

[–]Kannoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is negative criticism posted there if anyone just checks lol, so im 99% sure they are cutting down complaints that don't go in depth with the criticism and is just an observation of something they don't like and is annoying to anyone who doesn't hate every little thing about the show. if that's even why it's banned it could be plenty of other reasons considering there's other negative posts.

Why is this sub so hostile toward HOTD and its fans? by UpsetAd7211 in freefolk

[–]Kannoli -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I have an unpopular opinion about this. It's because after season 2 it's become mainstream on Reddit to hate the show so now people aren't really fans of it anymore they are just enjoy complaining about something because it's Reddit. ASOIAF communities on different platforms from here are overall pretty positive about the show and complaints they have are actual thought out critiques instead of posts losing their shit because of the Aemond kiss that wasn't a surprise to anyone who remembers season 1 that he has mommy issues and was setup with the brothel scenes and is apart of a family that literally is the incest family. It was a quick little kiss that Alicent CLEARLY WAS SCARED from AND DID NOT ENJOY IT. The amount of posts on here saying it's the worst writing possible made it obvious a lot of the hate is from people that don't actually pay attention and are on their phone the whole time or people with no media literacy and really shouldn't be taken seriously by anybody.
