So as the big climax and finale of game of thrones arrive soon, i did an entire season rewatch, I HAVE A MASSIVE PET PEEVE , it concerns the high sparrow and cersei arc
this fucking scene has no meaning in the end
so Cersei kills them all, slaughters, the sept full of commoners and royals, she is hated by everyone and suddenly no one cares, no comparisons to the mad king
no one saying how this could be lead to consequences, the lannisters somehow easily defeat the richest hand in the land , martells written off quickly
I also really resent how the tyrells and martells were written off and potrayed in general
cersei blowing up the sept was a great scene but the true consequences of such a major action are not felt and barely referenced
I noticed something the show has changed in tone, after a show that was about the machinations of people and ability to play the game, it's become more about the spectacle and events, the most compelling villains and the smartest characters have died off or written into an uninteresting box ( tyrion and varys ), the show has become more and more frustrating and rewatch, season 7 almost feels like a completely different show , which for me has one of the worst scenes in the show , the super survivalist who is actually pretty smart and lives on self preservation, throws rock on a wright just trigger a big action scene, the writing now seems to we want a big spectacle, let's get there somehow at the detriment of story and established characterization often
anything else grinds your gears even more ?
