Quote:I also kept thinking the whole battle that I felt like I could see where the rest of the story is going: Dany doesn't have any supporters in Westeros, but she'll cross the narrow sea with her dragons, defeat the army of the dead, everyone will love her and she'll become queen and have the popular support of everyone...
I came here to say this but you beat me to it
It does feel like GoT will end with super-girl and her magic dragons saving the day, becoming loved by all and everyone lives happily ever after
In amongst all the brilliant things about GoT (political intrigue, realistic world where evil often triumphs, wide cast of complex morally ambiguous characters etc.) there's a fairly run of the mill fantasy story (basically every situation involving magic)
I kind of want one of the major protagonists to just randomly die to assuage my fears that we're not veering towards typical fantasy
“The larger the group, the more toxic, the more of your beauty as an individual you have to surrender for the sake of group thought. And when you suspend your individual beauty you also give up a lot of your humanity. You will do things in the name of a group that you would never do on your own. Injuring, hurting, killing, drinking are all part of it, because you've lost your identity, because you now owe your allegiance to this thing that's bigger than you are and that controls you.” - George Carlin
