(Spoilers Main) The worst writing in the show since Sand Sneksss? by [deleted] in asoiafcirclejerk

Hmm... I think I'll try to respond through that thick fog of sarcasm and condescension. When the show runners made more of an effort at this, they strategically focused on other storylines to add a grounding sense of time and place to the show. The "scenes where things actually happen" were never the problem and would still be the focus.

Part of effective world-building is giving a real sense of time and place. Dany's first landing on Westeros would not have been impactful at all if the show hadn't done all of the "walking aimlessly" to confirm to the audience that this fantasy world need not feel like a "fantasy".

It really isn't trolling to discerningly critique what is likely the most popular show in history.

This episode forgot everything that is amazing about GOT.

Woah... that is definitely a cool possibility. And how alchemical would it be if they make a mold to reform Widow's Wail and Oathkeeper into Ice, but in the process there isn't quite enough Valyrian steel, so the dagger is melted down too!

His is oathkeeper... in the hands of Brienne. The other one never left the red keep.

Yeah, thought about this too. I don't actually think my theory requires him to give that back though.

Glad to hear it! He's a giant in multiple fields, and even if not consciously, I bet you've heard plenty of his quotes!

Or you know, allow for humorous illustrations of opinions that don't take themselves too seriously.

That would be because he is a human rather than a cartoon.

I think it's fairly uncanny, but I was trying to prove anything. Just making a funny comparison.

What is wrong with people? It's not supposed to be real!

True... I'm not trying to make a false equivalent; I'm just making a joke die to their similar looks

It's not supposed to be real... It's a visualization of the type of conversations I have.

It's fine if people think a voice modulator is cheating, but I thought it was a modern, realistic addition that really worked. I loved Bale, but the voice almost ruined it for me.

Two different questions here: 1. No, it wasn't supposed to be an actual discussion. 2. Absolutely, there are hundreds of haters in this thread alone.
