Why Season 8 of Game of Thrones Doesn't Work

[@PSASitch]

So my prediction of the everything works out ending was proven completely wrong. I assumed that would be the ending because nothing was being built or set up to go in a different direction. Silly me, it's my fault for being naive. I spent this whole video complaining about how D&D don't care about properly setting things up, I should have expected a completely out of nowhere left turn into crazy town. Part 2 now out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rabMf4WmmtaaaaM

They fucked up the whole series with the last season. Is it the weight of living up to the expectation that they messed up so bad?!

[@blueguy136]

I honestly don't know what they are planning with just a single episode left and not much more to cover as there is no main enemy anymore, going to be a slow episode for sure with a lot of back stabbing and probably set ups for spin off series to come

Entertainment today tries to steer clear of anything actually cool. A sword fight between a hero and a white walker would be awesome, but might hurt women's feelings because they could never be as badass as a man. So creators now just "subvert expectations", also known as lazy writing.

[@devilshila5588]

​@@johnlungo8080 But Brienne has a valyrian sword so she is a woman who can have that fight. And Arya still could have killed the NK when he is fighting another character, assassin style. And we could have had a WW in the crypt where Varys sacrifices himself so Tyrion and Sansa could have an opportunity to kill him. The writters are just bad

[@toivosilvennoinen8540]

But why would a White Walker engage in combat? Can you give me ONE logical reason why you, as a White Walker, would risk your life (and the unlives of your wights) in a duel? Same with NK and Jon. NK could lose everything he's worked for the last x years to some raggy-haired hobo with a sword.

[@EdgarFriendlysCivicsTeacher]

@@ericstaples7220 it was stupid. Personally I've been counting down to King's Landing. Whether it was going to be Cersei coming out on top, or if Jaime or Tyrion put a stop to her, all against a backdrop of Arya returning from a place of strength to resolve her arc and avenge the life she was thrown out of. Perhaps even destroying Tyrion and Jaime you never know...

They are just dues ex machina everything. Arya's teleports out of no where for the kill and half their army was still alive the next episode even though it looked like everyone died. If they remove the dues ex machina and make a normal consistent it is all fixed. Arya fights her way through the army to get to the night king(maybe with some help of other main characters?) and the army acts intelligently so half of them survive. The story is fine like that.

My big issue is that Jon Snow should've killed the Night King while Arya should've killed Cersei. Jon is connected to the Night King more than Arya. Arya killing the Night King doesn't make much sense. But at the same time Arya needs a big moment for her development in this season. Killing the Night King didn't develop the character. Killing Cersei would have. Arya got nothing out of this season even if she is the real hero.

@David Kinney I don't really see any analysis, all you said was that GoT doesn't have a specific lead character. This fact doesn't make it good or bad, that's true.

Benioff and Weiss kept on diverging from the books and also were trying increasingly more to write the story in order to please the audience rather than to follow to coherent plot laid out since the start. Sadly you can see this increasing with each episode of seasons seven and eight. It's kind of sad because the producers choked at the end when they had all the resources required in order to deliver (funds, directors, and actors)... D&D did their best not to kill off favorite characters to avoid disappointing some of the audience, in the end, it feels fake in GOT standards. D&D should have tried at all costs to remain coherent with the narrative laid out since the onset (which comes from the books).

Actually, I'll just say how to fix that premature ending...is to have the Night King divide his forces and take half of it South and screw with Cercei, which was something I wanted to see, but was disappointed that wasn't what happened.

[@Peteruspl]

It would make perfect sense to just put a siege on Winterfell and march south. As long as dead have something to counter dragons (those javelins from s6 + constant cloudy blizzard spell could work) they have no reason to assault the walls where they can be killed 1000 zombies for one dude on a wall. All the while living would never meet them in the field, staying mostly in the castle with only some raids out. This is what I think happens in the books. Winterfell has a year long siege with different magical or covert dangers, while defenders also try to somehow get to the whites to break siege. Supplies will not last them for whole winter. Meanwhile main force of the dead attacks unprepared (ravaged by civil wars) south.

[@ephidel285]

Probably have a single Wight left behind to capture Bran as the general of the undead force while the Night King and the rest go south. Wouldn't be that bad if it was that Wight that killed Theon or was killed by Arya. Cercie has ballistae for live dragons, but it would have been nice to see them used uselessly on the Night King's dragon.

[@SultanOfAwesomeness]

Ghostwalker2061 better yet, as Doomcock said, he should’ve bypassed Winterfell completely. That would’ve been ‘subverting expectations’ in a good way. We would’ve been expecting a giant throwdown at winterfell only for the Night king to blitz right past and march down South without so much as a blink in Jon’s direction. The defenders would be thrown into complete confusion as they now have to quickly prepare for a pursuit after literally digging themselves into a defensive hole.

[@dontghostbanmeplz8788]

I like that idea... that the episode would end with Jon asking Bran, where is the Night King?

[@MoffatLee]

The white walkers not even fighting would be like ringwraiths never fought. They are basically the same thing as the white walkers, the generals and body guard sort of thing.

[@matth1589]

No, you have to get right to the end before you make large sections of the plot pointless. So, instead of Gollum stealing the Ring and falling into the lava, Galadriel appears out of nowhere, "I'll take that Frodo. You were right. I should have taken the responsibility, rather than leaving it to some poor mortal with no way to protect himself." Gollum, tries to steal the ring. Galadriel immediately disables him and she casually tosses the ring into the fires of Mount Doom. She then teleports everyone to safety. Divorces her husband, whose lack of confidence in her had stopped her from taking the Ring in the first place, cock punts Aragorn and rules the world with Arwen and Éowyn as a polyamorous family. Everybody lives happily ever after.

[@mdmyer]

Killing him in one episode could have worked, if it wasn't such an anti-climactic battle? Literally took 5 seconds from when Arya attacked him to him dying. He definitely died like a bitch.

Ramsay would have inadvertently saved the world because of the carnage he inflicted on Theon. Nice.

[@neriumsuitedher]

:O Ramsay was Azor Ahai and The Prince who was Promised and Theon is Lightbringer!

I thought Bran would warg into him to make him ignore pain and live just long enough to backstab the NK. Also, Arya survived a similar wound just fine, inflicted by the Waif. Arya also happened to kill the NK out of nowhere. HMMMMMM.

[@jeupater1429]

That would've really cool actually. Another easy way they could've redeemed 8-3 with one small edit is ... Just as the NK catches Arya, Bran grabs NK by the arm. (mimicking him) Then Arya finishes him. That would've changed everything. It wouldn't be the best resolution, don't get me wrong, but it at least wouldn't be the sack of sh!t it currently is.

I love how in season 8 they had D&D after the episode trying to justify terrible writing. Like if you have to say "she kind of forgot about the Iron Fleet", when the Iron Fleet was mentioned within the episode, you suck at writing. If you've got to explain why things make sense after the episode, you've kind of forgot how to write. Imagine watching a movie, and after the credits, the writers start telling you "no, it's not that this doesn't make any sense or doesn't adhere to who the character is, they just kind of forgot". The fact that they did this basically proves that they knew their writing was atrocious and they owed people an explanation of some sort lol.

She gets caught mid-air and tries to stab him but it won't penetrate his "armor" and Jon flings his sword from like 20 yards away and as NK turns his head it stabs him right in the face...or something. Bran definitely shoulda warged into a dragon or maybe Arya at that point. I mean that might help explain how she got so close. By the time NK sees Bran, Bran looks up with white eyes, the camera zooms in on them and the audience is like "holy shit he's warged!" and then there's Arya behind him. Then she's caught mid-air. Bran de-wargs and Arya tries to stab him and fails. Panic sets in and Aryas choking while she catches a glimpse of Jon and the sword comes flying. That's be cool I think. Most scenes could have been done so much better. Maybe Theon could have first killed an NK possee member which would have distracted the NK and then died shortly after.

[@ralfpfeiffer8108]

What I hate is that Bran's role seems to indicate that he can see "what will happen". So he can just go to screensaver mode, watch some historical porn, and emerge from his visions just before the shit he saw and was predicted - just happens. Wonderful. This arc really really sucks. BRan "checking-out" is one or the top few worst things of this SHIT episode.

[@alexandere3479]

I think that we will get back to the Bran NK thing soon. At least if you believe the tweets of the NK actor. Still... they just fucked everything up.

[@onlyfacts8801]

I'm pretty sure Bran's character and powers will be much better developed in the books... if G.R.R.Martin manages to finish them on time

[@piggypoo]

Having Bran hold the NK in place while everyone has to sadly leave, watch Bran disspear into the distance, and knowing that Bran will just eventually free to death is actually something that would have been heart-wrenchingly amazing.

[@OmegaZyion]

Which does bring up a problem when you think about Sitch's changes. If Bran sacrificed himself, that would mean the Night King would gain his powers. It would be a rather bad corner that the writers would have to get themselves out of considering how powerful Bran's abilities are. Being able to be anywhere at any time means that it is impossible to have a proper strategy meeting without the enemy knowing your tactics.

[@BlueSun_]

@@OmegaZyion Also if the Night King is frozen in place why can't Jon just cut his head off?

[@pitsahat2]

And he should have said "door held"

[@krissuyx]

I mean... It would be heart-wrenching if Bran was still Bran and not an emotionless robot. As far as I'm concerned, Bran died the moment he became the Three Eyed Raven.

[@killerCamii]

4:40 Jon doesn’t just declare it, they killed one of the generals in season 7 and some of the whites around him fall...

[@genious7714]

But only Bran knows that TNK was the only first created of the white walkers, that he is the one who transofmed everyone of their white bros. If we see bran thelling Jon that it was just one original white walker, then he will undestand that killing that original, will destroy the others as he discovered beyond the wall.

[@genious7714]

@bruce wayne Maybe I'm wrong, but Jon knows that by killing a white walker the zombies he reanimated are destroyed. But he does not know that if he kills the king of the night, the other white walkers will die like zombies. We still did not know if WW transformed from babies work just like zombies. At no time was this rule established, and what I was referring to the previous comment, was that Jon does not know if the king of the night is the original and not a part of many that were created at the same time, perhaps several of them were created them at once by the first children, and killing him will only destroy part of the army. That only Bran knows and he should explain it to Jon.

@bruce wayne Also in season 7 when beyond the wall at the lake surrounded, the brotherhood general (flame sword guy) in reply to to the hound who says, something like, there aren't enough men in all Westeros to fight them all, he says, we dont need to kill them all, just that guy, pointing to white Walker king.

[@jonnybgoode7742]

@ToldYouSo a little bit of common sense. If they're turned as babies.. who turns them?.. see how pieces just kinda fall into place here. 1+1=2 right? So if night king creates whites and now killing them kills any they've turned then.... I'll let you complete that one.

niefali literally the opening shot of the show is the walkers, the political stuff was fantastic but the point was that people were focused on that throne and they were wrong to do so due to the bigger threat. Then we have the big realisation in season 7 that the walkers are the real threat and who sits on the throne isn’t important... than D&D decided to beat the WW in a single episode and undo all the work put in focusing on how the throne wasn’t the real important thing

[@cedricbailly100]

@@cigh7445 Well it's more like "A Song Of Ice And Fire" so it's not entirely about "who's gonna sit on the throne". Fantasy and darkness take a huge part in the story and constructed some of the important character (Bran, Jon, Daenerys, Jorah, even Arya with that swaping of face/voice/size/body?) The throne is important and a cool story but this is not the only one, and it's hard to believe that anyone would fucking care about fighting for the throne after fighting an army of dead people... You have to give them a purpose to do so, and the only way was to keep the NK alive till he marchs on Kings Landing

[@CaptJosmy]

15:55 I would have been WAY more satisfied if Theon had been the one to kill the Night King while he was strangling Arya. Heck, it could even potentially explain WHY she decided to scream when she was trying to do a sneak attack - it could have been her plan to distract him and give Theon an opening, if she had somehow noticed he was still alive and could do it. Heck, anything rather than her killing him in the name of fanservice. I still believe Dany and Jon should have been the ones involved with his death, but if you gotta keep Arya there, then do this.

@Blue Rose did you watch the Video? There are different Kind of shock moments. Ned's death was the First real suprise in the Show, whereas the nk was just for subverting expectations. You knew why Ned was killed the way He was, He himself Made mistakes that were fatal in the end. The nk on the other Hand was a build Up character, we still hardly ever saw in action, yet instead of using characters that had any Connections or motivations to get to him, they used a literal deus ex machina to end His Story, Just because they wanted to shock people. When the death of a character does Not make any Sense ( the nk had No reason to be at that particular Spot, as He proved way more intelligent in earlier Episodes than to Fall for that obvious Trap) it No longer is a good shock for the audience, but rather a cheap writing solution, which Shows that d&d had No Idea how they could end their own Creation in a sensible way.

It was vague. Prophecy is weird like that. The two generally accepted theories on this are either it means winter (aka the Night King) destroys the capital, or that Jon Snow sits on the throne. At this point, one clearly is no longer an option. What would be great is for Dany to recall it at some point in the last two episodes and come to the realization of what it meant.

@Ragnarok you missed it. Read it again and think.

[@LuisSoto-fw3if]

@Ragnarok Snoke was someone, how else he got to power? It might be irrelevant to the story but he was someone. Snoke was like the Emperador in the OG, except the Emp served a narrative porpuse, to be the evil guy that wanted to take over the world and to provide a conflict between DV and Luke, his death meant something. His death meant the Anakin came back to the light side of the force and brought "balance" to the force. What did Snoke death meant for SW? He was, again, a bridge to create conflict between the two protagonist. After Swolo killed him, what happened? Nothing, he just continues being abad guy, in fact, it was being hinted that Swolo might go back to the light side aswel, but after killing Snoke, thats out of the table, there is nothing that can bring Swolo to the light side again. They killed Snoke for the "mY sUbvErsiON" same thing as with the NK and Danys fall into madness, which had been hinted at for some seasons now, but was poorly excuted.
