It was a mistake to let Raimi do script touchups.

>>86862458
did he actually do them lol?

Its not hard to see how a one dimensional character could exist in one of the dullest franchises in the history of movies.Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody? just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though

"No!" The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

a thin sliver of hope that some of the characters die

The fuck did I do?

>he paid to watch this

>>86861829
yeah

>>86861770
I was like you until I began watching. First season is a bit boring but Seasons 2-5 are masterpieces. YES even Season 5 is fucking golden. 6 and 7's pacing is terrible and everything is too rushed

>>86861800
I don't even see the point of watching it at this point. I already know half the spoilers on the show because of how much Game of Thrones spam has been flooding the internet the past few years. I've also heard the show starts out good but gets worse and worse as it goes on, and I don't even like the fantasy genre to begin with.

pfft faux/10

I don't understand it, either, and I'm no /pol/.

It's just dumb from a political standpoint. He's going to lose his army.

>>86861524

It was a nice scene but ffs Jon is dumb as fuck
It was clear she would now help him without bending the knee and now he willingly given up his claim of King in the North. Hes going to piss off the entire North who chose him to be their ruler of an independent state.

If this was season 1-4 he would get Robb Stark'd pretty quickly but I wouldn't be surprised if all the northern houses are just fine cool being ruled by somebody who has never even visited the north and whose father murdered Rickard Stark
