Game of Thrones Long Night Review | FIXING The Battle of Winterfell | Battle Strategy Analysis

[@mattanderson5627]

So one thing here is just not true. The Star Wars contract came into being AFTER they had already filmed most of season 8 and had written the scripts and announced the ending of the show. Season 8 was announced to be the ending before season 7 was released. The so called "rushed" production had nothing to do with Star Wars. They were actually planning to create a show of their own which would be a alternate world where the South won the civil war. This idea was axed after season 7 was finished and during the writing of 8. Also, I am pretty sure that Bran was supposed to be watching for the Night King in the sky, which is why he was in the crows.

great vid bud. Also a historical battle analyst said ditches would make a huge difference. And the catapults make no sense outside cause they will be useless once they pass through them. Also ye actually being in the castle would be wise and let the cavalry coming from both sides as back up. This made me so angry as a fan who has been with this show for 10 years..

Some tips; your voice sounds flat. Try to pronounce the end of sentenced with some more emphasis. Also, try to edit it so that you remove the pauses between talking . Like remove the breathing and other breaks in ur reading to make it sound more snappy. Speak with more emotion.

I'll work on those things. Thanks for watching and I appreciate the advice.

This is just a compendium of dumb ideas that have been hashed over and repeated ad nauseum for two years. Trebuchets inside a cramped overpopulated castle court yard. You simply do not have the space inside to operate a trebuchet. Artillary? Artillary? Do mean archers? Cause there were no long range heavy guns in this battle. And you finish with Cercei killing Dany with a ballista, an inaccurate hard to reload weapon? During a parley. when she herself is exposed to archers and a dragon and her MVP is merely feet away from the enemy. Good fucking luck with that.

Those ballistae hit a long range moving target not once but three times. They would have hit Dany and her dragon, each a close range fixed target, and ended the war right there. Cersei lost the game of thrones by respecting the parlay as if war, and this game, has rules.

[@MrsRosencranz1]

@@MetaCinema Rhaegal was a pretty big target. Dany is a pretty small one. Doubt there's adequate siting in the ballistas to hit a target that small And then Drogon would be up and on Cercei and her crew.

[@MetaCinema]

Drogon would likely have flown away just like when she was later killed. It's a giant bird basically, he didn't think to kill her murderer (Jon), nor would he think to kill any of the people on the castle wall (and especially wouldn't have picked out Cersei). Earlier Cersei would totally have lured her enemy in a trap under a white flag and then slaughtered them. The writers kind of forgot Cersei used to be cunning and ruthless. So she lost the game and her life for it.

@@MetaCinema So cunning that she lost track of Arya. Got caught up with her own plan on the Tyrells that resulted in her son committing suicide. Killed a hostage that could have saved her. Got Myrcella basically killed. Robert was a better ruler than Cercei. She was fun to watch but she was no braniac.

[@MetaCinema]

Definitely agree about Robert. The way Cersei was written earlier, the one who blew up part of her own city, SHOULD not have respected the white flag of the parlay, and should have at least attempted to trap and kill her enemy when she had the chance. And it would have been a fantastic scene.
