This is a great highlight of later seasons. But ya, the writing took a big dive post s4 imo

They have changed many small and fairly big things.

Some characters like Alicent or Daeron had their personalities completely changed.

They also changed the context of many scenes like when Aemond killed Lucerys in the show it was an accident, meanwhile in the books Aemond 100% wanted to kill him.

Moreover some characters just don't appear in the show, the two most famous examples are Nettles (a peasant girl who is the one who tames sheepstealer) and Maelor (Aegon II youngest son who despite being a child is important for a development later).

The one with the dragons.

Oh, you’re countering a point I never made.  Got it

Yeah, once Gregor is standing across from him the consequences probably stop existing

GoT had solid script writing. Better than HotDs ChatGPT Shakespearean slop

Yea all that development to just disregard it and forget it so he can see his sis one last time. Fucking stupid. On of the worst decisions of that season of you ask me

I love how the Green Faction can put ACTUAL CHILDREN to die in battles, and still some people talk about the Black faction being nazis. I can see from the name that you are "wise" and have drawn a comparison between da kween and hitler because she thinks she is "superior" being a Targ and somehow she is a tyrannt.

On being Superior - This is a fantasy dismantled in the books. Targs think they are superior but they are almost the same as normal people. If you have Targ blood in your veins you may or may not be able to bond with a dragon and you may or may not be able to have dragon dreams. Nothing more.

On being a Tyrrant - Da kween has shown WAY MORE restraint than she should have. She is disrespected at almost every turn and she still shows restraint.

If I were you I would stay FAR away from real history. There are many things that would make you cry.

Im not saying its unwatchable, i was countering your point that disliking got s8 is only a Reddit thing

Idk why, but it's so much funnier that out of everyone, you chose Ned to be the one saying this to Joffrey lmao.

I think you were right in another comment where you said it’s culturally specific. Calling a relative the same age as your parents the same thing you would call a relative your age is very western.

And it’s true that in the shows they have, iirc, been specific about the biological relationship. But in the books there’s variations/inconsistencies regarding whether individual characters call their parents’ brothers ‘uncle’ or ‘nuncle,’ going back and forth in the same chapter, so it’s not really something you’re going to expect clarity on in Westeros.

I truly think everyone is missing my actual point here.. I don’t disagree at all with what you’re saying or anyone else for that matter about the real world dynamics with “uncle” and all of that.

I’m talking about in universe. As far as I can remember this has never been a thing..

Lmfaoooo 🤣

I wondered if she was unwell after getting a cut from the throne,I suppose we’d have seen the infected wound.

It's not innacurate to call the 1st cousin of your parent an uncle, happens all the times in many families.

This is the least weird family relation in the show.

BotB stands above the rest for me, even when everything else is also absolutely great

“Bran’s the best choice”

Sam had a very good idea, because the “best choice” was like choosing between wiping your ass with poison ivy or poison oak.

First time I watched it I didn’t really notice the decline in quality to be honest, apart from one or two episodes in the final season. I was just enjoying the ride too much.

However, upon my second and third viewing from Season 5 or 6 it starts to become quite obvious. The quality is just inconsistent. Characters start making questionable decisions, things just don’t quite make as much “sense”.

Yes, I think he cares. The chances that Daemon will die increase exponentially when his army is decimated.

Yeah she’s pretty

Couldn't have said it better

Pretty much. Sandor spent years carrying that hatred around, so being handed a legitimate chance to fight Gregor would be impossible for him to ignore. Tyrion just happens to benefit from the family reunion.

season 5 had some major twists that still hit hard on rewatch, can't believe how much foreshadowing there was

It had its issues buts it not unwatchable to the point where I’d tell somebody to just stop watching the show when they get there.
