Quote:Okay, Bran as king.Jon was never going to be king and it would have sucked had hew been king . He got a way batter ending .
I already opined about how Jon has at least as good, if not a better, story than Bran's as to why he should be king - the better case being he actually did stuff to defend Westeros from the Night King rather than uselessly worging ravens and flying around aimlessly.
Quote:So if this whole time he's been the 3-eyed raven and he could see the future, he knew the whole time that the living would defeat the Night King? Why didn't he just tell them that? He knew the whole time that Dany wouldn't be long for the throne? Why not tell her that? He knew he would be named king? Well, I totally understand why he didn't tell people that.Maybe he isn't suppose to tell them
Quote:But still, think about how epic it would have been for Dany to receive a prophecy from Bran in a similar way that Cersei received one from that swamp witch ladyIt wouldn't be it would be prentious
Quote: Then it would have thrown even more conflict into the storyThere was more then enough of that
Quote:Would Dany turn on Jon assuming that he would kill her?She was probably going to do that anyway
Quote:Would she be killed or captured in some other way?She died just fine without having a whole unneeded scene
Quote:Would she and Jon end up ruling together and die in childbirth (wrapping up that little nugget that was uselessly thrown out there last season)?What nugget ?
Quote:Would Bran telling people about their future mean that their futures would be inevitable or only inevitable insofar as they continue on their current paths?The answer to that is already no
Quote:Imagine Dany being told that the people of King's Landing weren't her enemies,Why would she believe it nor was it needed
Quote:that Cersei is defeated, that she will come to the throne but will die on that throne only a short time later.That seems totally pointless
Quote:If Dany knew before hand that the people of King's Landing weren't in league with Cersei it would make her torching the city even more awful and reactionary and an act committed out of revenge.Her reasons were good enough in the real ending
Quote:It would mean that she knows that she will die if she takes the throne but proves what Sam was saying to Jon: She wouldn't make the same choice Jon did and give up her power to save the people of Westeros, she makes the decision to grab the throne because it's hers by rights. She's a victim of her own ambitions and believing her own propaganda.No it would set up pointless storyline and her reason were good enough in the real ending
Quote:And the whole Small Council thing. : sigh:It was funny witty and nostaligic
Quote:I don't have a problem with Sam as Grand Maester, I have a problem with not showing how it happened.I think figuring out how too defeat the ultimate evil gives you a strong claim and Sam has more balls and more brains then lot of them , And who cares to see it
Quote:Brienne as head of the King's Guard? Superficially I'm totally fine with it. Think about it for 5 seconds and you wonder WTF? Why isn't she Sansa's Queen's guard?Probably because she feels her oath is fulfilled and Sansa let her or do we need to see that too ?Do we also need to see every freaking event no matter how minor ?
Quote:She took a vow to protect Catlyn Stark's daughters, she should have stayed with Sansa.She doesn't need it and probably let her take Jamie's place
Quote: Unless, off screen, Sansa asked her to stay in King's Landing to protect Bran, in which case why didn't we get that scene?We don't need to see it
Quote:Having Brienne leave Sansa's side needed a scene to explain that proposition and decision.There was no need
Quote:Also, Brienne's last major scene was closing out Jaime's story, not getting her own ending. Boo.
She was closing her own she's part of the most elite group of knights in the land
Quote:I love Brienne, and I don't wish that she had died in the Battle for Winterfell,Nope
Quote:but the end of her story was when she was knighted by Jaime and stood her ground against the Army of the Dead.Nope being an elite knight is better
Quote: It would have been such a fitting end if she had seen Lyanna Mormont almost get taken out by the giant and went to defend her, then get killed herself, and then we get Lyanna's death.Wasn't needed nor would it have been cool
Quote:Brienne would have died doing her duty as a knight; Lyanna would have died being a badass.Nope here real ending living as a knight is better
Quote:And what in the world makes Bronn qualified to be Master of Coin?What made Tyrion ?
Quote:I thought Bran was supposed to be wise. That was total, stupid fan-service.How do you know he won't be good at the job ?
Quote: Davos makes perfect sense as Master of Ships, he's been a smuggler his whole life and has intimate knowledge of ships, shipping, seafarring, trade, harbors and that type of infrastructure - totally buy itNo issue here
Quote: But Bronn? No. I might buy him as Master of War since what he's known for is being a good swordsman and fighter.Because he done fighting and wants to enjoy his castle and his money
Quote:There were so many character moments that should have been addressed on screen that just weren't!There was nothing plot critical that didn't happen nor anything important that wasn't addressed
Quote:We spent 8 fucking seasons with these characters and what do we get? Them waltzing into the small council chambers in their new roles without a comment to how it happened? WTF.Again we don't need to see it Again you complain about nothing
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
