So people who want to passionately discuss their feelings about something they've been watching for 9 years and reading for 20+ years are just "pigs in shit" and nothing that they say is valid or interesting or genuine? It's all just that they are HAPPY that they can complain, right?
If you think their arguments are so puerile and contemptible, engage them and offer your response. Otherwise, you're just another self-satisfied and smug internet "intellectual" who thinks the fact that they like what dragon show did makes them superior to anyone who didn't like what the dragon show did, and who contributes absolutely nothing of value or anything worth an ounce of critical thought.
Posts like this are ten times more negative, ignorant, and critically stifling than anything said by anyone who critiques the show.
Nope, look at the episode. There are several moments in Dany's rage where Drogon's attacks are aimed at streets with no soldiers on it. Hell, most of the destruction is away from the Red Keep, Dany only starts attacking the Red Keep itself around the time the Cleganebowl happens. If she was going after Cersei, why would she not directly fly to the Red Keep? The only reason Cersei died in the attack is because all the exits were conveniently blocked off, otherwise she and Jaime would've had time to escape.
Euron has an issue with Jaime being in the way of his twisted love for Cersei and Jaime was also a figutive. And in general Euron liked murdering people and is a bully.
Yeah, this is probably it. Lot of Dany fans have whiplash from how fast she changed I guess.
No, she was definitely going after civilians. Straight up strafing runs on streets with little to no soldiers.
You're the pig reveling in shit if you think this is still the unprecedented show it used to be.
My thoughts around Tyrion. He's always misread women so people saying he is magically dumbed down this season is forgetting that aspect of him. His major misjudgements have always been a result to this. Its not necessarily from just women he's loved but just women in general.
Dany wasn't even trying to kill the meat shields, she was killing the ones locked out of the Red Keep and didn't even get a chance to be meat shields. lol

Yeah, but wouldn't it make sense to go after Cersei together first.

Loses to a man with one hand who has been riding for weeks and jailed . . . .
Uh wow. That was no slip of the tongue because he had to wait for the translator and slow down what he was saying.
I'm not denying that's a valid criticism but based on the hyperbolic takes everywhere it's clear a ton of people didn't want Dany going mad queen at all and are very upset.
This is A-MEI-ZING!From a YT comment:
Game of Thrones Patch 8.05 notes:
- Scorpions now have -50% hit rating
- Iron Fleet may now only fire one bolt at a time
- Buildings and structures now take 500% more dragonfire damage. (Developers notes: We noticed that dragonfire was ineffective against buildings and structures in previous patches (8.03) for the Army of the Dead faction, to a point where a single Hero class could hide behind a rock and take zero damage. We believe this hotfix will address future dragonfire siege damage against buildings)
- Daenerys Hero class and infantry for Targaryen faction have had their sanity reduce by 100% and will often attack random enemy and neutral units
- Arya hero class health increased by 400%
Dany has a better kill count than the Night King. If you count killing the undead in that kill count, she's the GOAT conquerors.
As someone who actually likes this episode I will agree that Jaime's turn back to Cersei doesn't feel earned. It comes across as "Well he's supposed to end up in this situation according to Martin" situation where they weren't told why.
It's a train I'm willing to board, lmao.
Exactly, either he's been misinformed or there is some truth to it.
Books are coming soon. Like really soon. The only thing I don't buy is book 7 being done as well lol.
I agree, people have spend years falling in love with the character. In my mind had they written it properly it would be a masterful ending
For the record I've said GRRM has been purposefully "writing slow" waiting for the show to finish on this board, lol.
At least that made sense to me, Euron knew Jaime was an enemy of Cersei now, and he was also her previous lover, he would take her his head as he said and he is arrogant so he wanted to kill the kingslayer, imo he had many reasons.
When the fuck did Arya Stark become the lead heroine of this show? Like, when did this happen?
This is all Bran's fault. Sitting around playing Virtual Crow Simulator while knowing millions are about to die? Couldn't think of letting somebody know?
I mean they basically set her up and ran with a sort of feminist overcomes obstacles idea for a bit there so yeah some people will be upset that she did this at all. The marketing pushed that, and they leaned pretty hard with it at times in dialogue.
There were times that I laughed at the episode.
Arya : come with me, you'll die here!
*immediately runs them into dothraki blades and dragon fire*
I'm not addressing those with legit criticisms. I have plenty of those myself. But there were plenty of live posters who were basically right from the off gleefully and continually shitposting without substance page after page.
I think the show is an astonishing achievement despite its faults (which as stated I consider to be a hangover of trying to remain faithful to Martin for too long). I take your point about an emotional reaction but it is natural to feel anger when confronted with lazy contempt for the things we enjoy and respect.

Bahaha that's great.
That seemed to be the obvious move. Go full Harrenhal and call it a day.
But I think the writers thought that wouldn't be enough of a heel turn, so they had her massacre the whole city that had just surrendered. Ow the edge
i'm not sure who got ruined most this season after 7 seasons of character development but Jaime and Varys are certainly up there.
It was more like a draw, Euron mentioned about taking credit for killing the famous Jaime Lannister when he was already mortally wounded and later finished off in the collapse. Euron might have also been a bit exhausted from swimming and overestimated Jaime like yourself.
The creators said they always had this as a 73 hours show but imo they just didn't know how to continue the story decently without the books so they just had to find a way to end it.
Dany's actions are totally unmotivated and unconvincing to me. And I really don't think it's a bias for her character, it's poorly plotted out writing. I simply don't accept that the Dany as depicted in this show would do what she's shown doing. Nope, not buying it.
