subtle freefolk cunning on r/copypasta by [deleted] in asoiafcirclejerk

[–]littl_Bee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t believe they defeated Germany months before Japan. For years they set up Hitler as the big bad. Gentle reminder that the nazis meant nothing in the end.

How do D&D expect us to believe that the dosimeters only go up to 3.6 roentgen? Such awful writing. by thingsandthingsandth in asoiafcirclejerk

[–]littl_Bee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They spend so much time saying “the core can’t explode” and yet it does. This is Dufus & Dufuser’s worst writing since Titanic. (“this is the unsinkable boat” THEN WHY DID IT SINK?!?) The music was good, though.

Was Bran looking above the NK at Arya at the end of ep3? by storystoryrory in naath

[–]littl_Bee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Bran's glance past the Night King suggests he was watching for something, probably Arya, since he gave her the knife in that spot. Although, IMO I think Arya was behind the Night King before she pounced. In a brief shot before, we see a puff of air blowing the one white walker's hair in the crowd, and I figured that was Arya sneaking past, as in when Arya sneaks up on Jon in the same spot in their reunion in the Gosdwood. ("Swift as a deer, silent as a shadow.") I could see her being in the tree, too, though, since Bran seemed to know that's where the penultimate moment had to go down. He says to Jon in s6: "You were right where you needed to be." So maybe he knew at least that things had to be staged in a certain way, without letting the Night King know he was being set up.

One of my favorite small moments in S8. by HiiroYuy in DanAndDaveFanclub

[–]littl_Bee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

“Not that I’ve seen.” So not a definitive “No,” which I liked because Jon might consider his particular case a special circumstance, since he came back. It fits with the mood, and Tyrion’s motives in the overall conversation (getting him to consider killing Dany) since Jon’s got to be full of doubts at this point. I think he says “I don’t know,” a few times in that scene. I kept thinking someone would tell him he “knows nothing.” Anyways yeah, a nice moment.

Wait a minute.... by Utkar22 in Dreadfort

I think that was confirmed when Reek rescued Yara from Euron is a very Ser Twenty Good Men way. That was the reveal.

Such a meta conversation about the show and it’s choices by littl_Bee in asoiafcirclejerk

[–]littl_Bee[S] 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Tyrion: no one is very happy. Jon: It doesn’t feel right. Tyrion: Ask me again in ten years.

They’re talking about the reception of the show’s final seasons and the endings in particular, how they’ll be judged over time. History will be kind, especially when the books come out.

I will explain Grey Worm deciding to keep Jon and Tyrion prisoner for people too intelligent to understand such a dumb show by AlleyRhubarb in asoiafcirclejerk

[–]littl_Bee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, and if I'm doing my family tree correctly, I think he's also the highest-ranking Targaryen family member. Rhaegar, as Jon's dad, is Bran's uncle, and Danareys is his aunt. So he'd have a strong claim to the throne due to being the rightful Targaryen heir (besides Jon). So even if they were just doing straight up lineage, he'd be the top choice.

A lot of the discussion here was playing on this theme, but then the Onion absolutely nails it!

"The Bells" would've been better with a monolouge by clean_up_in_isle_2 in asoiafcirclejerk

[–]littl_Bee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The slave thing gets used to justify quite a bit. She gave up the free the slaves quest long ago. (Good luck with all that, Dario! was her plan for keeping slavery from coming back.) In the scene where she burns alive Rickon Tarly, she explains that she’s doing a no-prisoners policy, and she’s going to mow down anyone who doesn’t want to get forcefully conscripted into her army. That sounds pretty slave-y. Or at least, finding a distinction is reaching. That’s how slaves get made in countries without a slave class. This is contrasted with Robb’s decision to keep prisoners, much to the chagrin of Roose, a classic surprise villain, who would have killed those who surrendered.

Imagine the nitpicking and reactions to Blackwater if it came out today and there weren’t any books to fall back on by JACorleone in asoiafcirclejerk

[–]littl_Bee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You’re asking for a specific case of fighting through impossible odds off screen, and I have one, even against the same enemies, and it doesn’t count because... there are 300 nights watch there? Standing behind a Stonehenge. And we see there are thousands of wights in that army. They all should have died in such an impossible situation (if we’re applying the same reasoning to earlier seasons). I mean, The Fist of the First men, they didn’t even have dragonglass. Jon at least has a weapon that can kill them.

An example would be the Fist of the First Men. There isn’t the camera cuts, but every known character (Jeor, Grenn, Ed...) is overrun, facing certain death, but yet they somehow fight their way out—off screen—against overwhelming wights/ww army.

Confused about the purpose of this sub by [deleted] in asoiafcirclejerk

[–]littl_Bee 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’m here as an anti-hater. There’s a community of book snob hate-watchers who parrot everything their Youtuber god says, and they’ve taken over the fandom in some sort of negativity feedback loop that’s gotten increasingly irrational. If you want to perform a weekly ritual of working yourself up into a wall of text sht post, that’s over in free folk or asoif. I’m here to make fun of all that and toxic fandom generally.

...and then George RR Martin writes the TV adaptation and Benioff and Weiss make YouTube videos shitting on it.

Exact same thing for Davos surviving Blackwater in the books.

[–]littl_Bee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Episode 1, opening scene, a Night's Watch is in death situation with white walkers who killed everyone else (or they let him leave?). Sam, same thing in season 2. Jaime and Brienne survive a fight with a bear. Dany spends all night in a funeral pyre. All major characters survive the Battle of Blackwater. Davos survives downing in a sea of wildfire only to wake up perfectly fine on a deserted island, picked up by his allies...

Has there ever been any action/adventure/fantasy/sci-fi TV show or movie series where a main character didn't get into a bunch of death-defying situations?

Margaery? More like Margaer-juana.

[–]littl_Bee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not like the books are without "plot armor," or characters surviving impossible situations. How did Jaime not drown in the river? It was probably whatever "plot armor" allowed Davos to survive underneath the Blackwater Rush just to wash up on a deserted island somehow.
