When Tywin died.
They hd made changes that were great while following the original framework.
The Ros story, the littlefinger/varys scene, the conversation between Robert and cersei etc.

But after Tywin's death the changes were just too ludicrous. The lack of logistics, the lack of sensible tax policies and their effects, the teleportations, empty castles, and lack of consistency in general. Like Khal Drogo dies from a festering scratch but Arya gets stabbed a gorillion times and falls on a canal full of shitty water survives fine. Then the shitty fanfiction plots you can see from a mile away like Dany marrying Jon Snow to make an alliance when she has a conversation with Missandei.

Fucking ridiculous.

>>85133702
They only use 4 writers too even after surpassing the books and needing an original story. So it's no wonder when most big shows like breaking bad or sons of anarchy have 8 writers, that these 4 fuckers are delivering garbage that doesn't make any sense. It's a shame.

Yes, GOT was only good when it was D&D moderating the books.

On their own, they are utterly horrible writers.
>>
>>85136247
I've read the books. Only people who say they actually think they're good are retards who need to tell people "the books are better than the series" and to constantly feel superior to them, because they are actually inferior in every single way and need to justify not ending their lives immediately.
>>
>>85136820
The books are better than the series, the motivations of the characters are better explained, the sequence of events is more logical, the intrigue is compounded by the slower pacing, like a slow burn political drama wrapped in an action fantasy setting that is translated to the show, but with less impact.

There's nothing the show does better than the books, and the things the show did well in it's early seasons the books do better.

They aren't great books, but they're good books, and good books trump ok television

I disagree. Season 1 of the show was genuinely better then the first book. Season 1 had great character bits that weren't in the book, such as Robert and Cerise talking about their failed marriage.
>>
Honestly I think it just began to break down during season 4. They began to mess up Jaime's arc from season 3 and left the books a bit, but they could still maintain being a good show because of the sheer amount of content from the books being covered.
>>
>>85137460

There are no more normal characters. No more Roose, Tywin, Blackfish, Eddard, Catelyn, Robert, Barristan, Walder, Robb, Mance, Myrcella, Marjory, Tommen ... etc.

Reminder that Cogman is the true evil, and the D&D have done nothing wrong:

Things D&D have done:
>adapted many scenes amazingly, such as Blackwater, Red Wedding, Purple Wedding, Mountain vs Viper
>Gave us the awesome Massacre at Hardhome, which the books only mentioned in passing
>made the show a success with plenty of top tier actors and actresses
>gave us the great Theon burning the letter scene
>Gave us the Robert & Cersei scene

Things Cogman has done:
>Fucked up Dorne with his fanfiction and talked D&D into doing it(HINT: They didn't want to do it)
>Asha(oh wait, no, i mean Yara, Cogmans fanfic name for her) vs Ramsay's Dogs
>put Sansa in Winterfell
>>
It got worse and worse as D&D started substituting GRRM's ideas for their own.

Doing so was probably necessary for a 10 hour/season show, especially as GRRM's storylines (some of which were dead ends) got more and more convoluted and more and more important characters were added.

Season 1 had the best pacing, but it was based on a 600-something page book, so it was easier for them to stay faithful to the source with the screentime they were given, compared to some of the later seasons that had to squeeze source material nearly twice that length into the same amount of screentime.

I'm going to have to say the episode where Jon went off to fight Karl Tanner. I know you guys love "the fooking legend" but as a plot element it was filler in it's purest form, and only there to give Jon something to do until the battle on the wall. This is now the norm; delay, fuck around and then deliver a big battle in ep 9 to smooth things over with the audience.

It was also one of the more obvious attempts to make a character interesting but giving him a few lines of "badass" dialogue rather than bother with characterization. Now every character is like that.

I believe the shirtless Ramsay scene happened before this.

Season 4 had some good moments and was overall likable, but it was when they really started to push the filler crap like the botched Theon rescue attempt and this scene with Karl Tanner, which ultimately led to nothing. Season 5 was just downhill from there. They completely abandoned plot lines they had set up earlier, they killed off characters simply because they didn't want to pay as many actors, the Sons of the Harpy were inhuman (afraid of death) and impossibly numerous (how the fuck did no one notice the hundreds of people carrying giant gold masks and putting them on in the Colosseum?). Of course the absolute low point had to be the Dorne story line, where they abandoned Jaime's character development to instead have him go to the desert to have a poorly choreographed fight and terrible dialogue with the Sand Sneks, simply because Oberyn was popular.
>>
>>85132271
It was a complete snore fest after the end of the season with Red Wedding.

Each season after that was 1st episode with some action/story progression, then non-stop, boring filler until the last episode and season finale again with some action and story progression.
>>
>>85138974
The books go much further into the nitty gritty of ruling. The show, not so much.
>>
>>85132606
This is my vote. There are still good moments and episodes after this - mostly shit lifted from the books - but there was no reason for this entire plotline to take place, let alone be so terrible.

Well, we'll always have seasons 1-3, and parts of 4...
>>
Does anybody have a character and motivation in this series anymore, beyond "we need to wrap things up Dabid"? Watching Tormund being subservient to King Jon, Sansa becoming Cersei 2.0 so we miss her less when she's offed, not to mention Dany's flock of Ladies in Waiting is painful.

Wow I didn't even realize he started that trend. To be honest I always sort of interpreted it as him just being a braggart (since the whole badass quips things wasnt the norm yet at that point) who ended up finding himself in a position where no one (until Snow) could oppose him. It helps that the guy who plays him (who I've only seen in TDKR and Pacific Rim) is charismatic enough to pull off such narm. Also I like memes as much as the next guy.

What a fucking mess. When I found out Jaime was going to Dorne, I actually thought it was a good idea.

Just move Jaime's adventures in the Riverlands to Dorne. You can still retain his basic character arc but also have a more natural introduction to all the characters in Dorne, since one of the main characters is interacting with them.

Instead we got... what we got.

Quick question here, what's everyone's problem with this? It goes down almost exactly the same in the books, but in the books you don't see what happens after Sam bails from Craster's. Bran ending up captured there is pretty retarded, but doesn't everything else play out just like that in the books, with Jon leading a mission to murder them all, etc? I may be wrong, it's been a while. It also makes sense for the Night's Watch to ride out and fucking kill the treasonous cunts, but everyone I talk to thinks it's stupid.

>>85139177
Everything involving Dany is filler. She hasnt had a single interesting plotline even season 1 is mostly just cool because we get to see cool savages and an annoying spoiled princeboy get slapped around and eventually killed in a cool scene.

It legitimately would have been better to just have her die on the pyre but have the dragons be birthed and then boom bam magic returned to whatever the entire world in GoT is called.

There are so many loose storylines that do not serve a single point and feel like complete filler.

You're not wrong, but it wasn't as egregiously shitty as, say, Jaime and Bronn's wacky road trip to Dorne. Jon acted in a believable way, and even got his ass hilariously kicked by the Fookin Legend.

I was using it as an example of when the rot set in. It's by no means the worst of the show's mini plotlines, but it bears all the similarities to the bad stuff that happens in season 5 and 6.

The plot exits for Jon to do some sword swinging and kill a bad guy and that's about it. But the writers never think about how dumb Jon looks in the meantime. After losing so many men at the fist of the first men, Jon takes even more men over the wall to kill the deserters, even though he knows full well that they are completely doomed. He then suggests that the Night's watch men will be able to tell the wildlings things about castle black, but seemingly forgets that the wildlings are led by a former Crow and already know that most of the Night's watch got killed by Others.

This shit is far worse in season 5 and 6. Dorne is the other big example, but Jon is treated much the same. In order for the battle of the bastards to be hopeless, the writers make Jon a retard. He's supposed to be a smart commander and candidate for king, but he screws everything up... then gets made King anyway with no consequences.

The deserters telling the wildlings the truth about the number of defenders at castle black is a real problem, though. They think there's a thousand men, but in reality there's like a couple hundred. If Mance found out, he'd just send his army to steamroll the Wall, instead of sending a smaller force to test their defenses.

the show has just steadily declined
first 3 seasons were pretty great (despite 2 and 3 having at least one dodgy substory each, dany yelling about dragons and theon being tortured for 10 episodes straight) but they also had 3 strong and focused books to rely on

seasons 4+5+6 arent helped by the fact that a whole lot of stories from the (definitely weaker than the first 3) books get combined or scrapped also i dont know if D&D stopped caring but the original content from them just feels rushed and dumb, the great things about ned, the red wedding, tywin and even oberyn x gregor was that there was build up, not just a bunch of characters we dont give a shit about getting brutally murdered, also really not a fan of them just wanting to reuse scenes that were hype as fuck, comparing dany being reborn in the flames in season 1 as we think her journey might be at its end to her just being fireproof and killin niggaz for the lulz

Reminder that normies only like this show b/c dragons R cool n sheet and Dany is YASSSSS SLAY KWEEN according to reddit, twitter, facebook, and the press.

This is the direction D&D have taken.

They ruined Jaime. They inserted the bear island jailbait to make a statement about strong women n shit. Nothing makes sense anymore. They are only going for epic scenes rather than a story where individual scenes make sense as a larger part of the plot.

The episode where Yara went to save Theon but ran away because Ramsey had a key to a dog cage.Her men surrounded him and could have cut him down long before he ever released a single dog and even if he did release a dog it would have been no real threat to anyone.

> chronic complaining
That's the real problem. Do I blame you? No. I've seen the same behavior within every other board. Either games on /v/, books on /lit/ or gadgets on /g/. If it's popular, the hate begins. It's part of the cannon of 4chan.
You know how to recognize a bitter and negative person? They only talk about what they hate. It was Eisenstein the first to elaborate a theory of cinema criticism. "constructive criticism" he called. If you had nothing good to say about the film, then silence would be the proper way to deal with it.
I never see a single thread focused on appreciation of the show. Only complaining. And the complaining gets each time more ridiculous and subjective. From the material used to craft costumes, to the color of a character's hair. For example in this very thread, while some said that cersei and robert talk about marriage was great, others insisted on complaining about how shit it was.
My point stands. Why are you so bitter? Why don't you like anything? Why all you do is complain? Is it prolonged virginity that made you that way? Why not talk about the things that still pleases you on the show?

There's a small comic that ilustrate this dilemma perfectly, but I've lost it unfortunately. Even so, I will attempt to describe it:
There's a lesser man laying on the floor. Naked and dirty. Almost Savage. From a higher balcony, there comes a man with a Garbage can. He throws all the garbage on top of the naked figure below. The man starts scavenging the garbage, madly, rolling around the dirt, looking for something, going through every piece of shit and rotten food, desperately. He then proceeds to eat whatever he finds on the discharged lot, but while he fills his mouth with the garbage and the scattered remains, he screams on top of his lungs: "GARBAGE! FILTH! GARBAGE"
The more he eats the more he screams. He fills his mouth with garbage and fill his lungs with air. He chokes, coughs, vomits, and continue eating and screaming unstoppably: "GARBAGE! FILTHY GARBAGE!"
Another man who watches the scene from above asks the one who hold the garbage can: "does he always do this?"
"Every time" replies the man.
>>

>>85150172
Complaining is discussion. Discussion is healthy. If you want these people to ever grow up and get better taste, then you should encourage them to keep vocalizing their thoughts on shit like GoT until some of these individuals decide to get into actual film.

>If you had nothing good to say about the film, then silence would be the proper way to deal with it.
This is probably never true, but it's definitely not true with people new to the art (and, let's face it, most GoT watchers are probably not experienced critics). When you are new to criticism, you should vocalize every opinion in the strongest way you can and have honest discussions about your thoughts. This is the strongest way to grow your tastes and your understanding of art.

>Discussion
There is no discussion in these threads. It's chronical complaining. I've seen complaints here that surpassed the range of autism. I've seen complaints about the length of an actress' hair. About the size of a horn. About the calligraphy of a letter.
The truth that they will die before confessing is that they love the show. To the core of their hearts. Love them so much that they fail to see clearly. Every scene that doesn't turn out as they wanted fills them with disappointment. And so they come here to complain.
When you're watching something like GoT, you must embrace suspension. I see a lot of praising here, the most toxic kind. The source material is cheap and incomplete. The writers do what they can with what they have. It's not like Tolkien, who was absurdly Superior to the fatman. It's not like The Hobbit, an infantile but gorgeous work of literature, and was butchered, mutilated and defecated by it's adaptation. The GoT writers did the best they could with what they have, and they have a very cheap and poorly executed work of fantasy fiction. The quality of the writing declined severely after the series surpassed the books, but you can't blame double d for that. If anything, blame the fat man. He knew what he was getting into when he signed with hbo. He knew from the very start that a tv series is not a movie saga. It can't stop. It has to be anual. He knew he would have 5 years to complete winds of winter, and he knew he couldn't do it, but he agreed to sell rights to an adaptation even so, knowing that it would surpass his writing pace, knowing that the tv writers would be on their own by the end. If the last season suffered, martin is to blame.

It's a good question. The only Northern Lords that supported Jon were Hornwood, Mormont, and some other show-only house that I can't remember.

Really, Jon's reasoning for letting the heirs of Last Hearth and Karhold retain their holdings is sensible. Those are children after all and while Jon could punish them, he doesn't NEED to do so. Especially when few in the North supported him anyway.

Really the only question is the Dreadfort, which he should probably just take for himself, rename it, and leave Winterfell to Sansa since it is rightfully hers.
>>
>>85141252
I wish Sansa would admit that after what she did to Ramsay she has embraced the Bolton traditions.

She finds out she is pregnant with Ramsay's child.

She gives up Winterfell to the White Wolf, Jon Snow, and takes up the Dreadfort as Lady Sansa Bolton, and raises her son to continue the Bolton lineage.

The whole training women for war thing is dumb.

Sure, if the enemy is coming over the gates it makes sense to have every able-bodied person fight, but that is a desperate last stand situation. Otherwise you do not want women soldiers. You cannot afford to lose armies of women on the field because if you lose all your women... you can't get more soldiers.

How do you replenish armies in between campaigns? Largely through successive generations of men coming to fighting age. That is only possible with women giving birth and a woman is pregnant for 9 months and is then caring for the child for another 15 or so years until the child can reasonably be expected to fight in at least some capacity.


If humanity meets the Others head-on with gender-balanced armies then they will lose in the long run. You can wipe out 80% of the male population and still recover your numbers but you cannot wipe out even half that number of female population (of child-bearing age) and hope to recover.

The Undead don't seem to move very fast. The Long Night also lasted a generation. So it's not like it was just a lightning invasion that was sent back taking place over a few months.

It appears to have been a long-drawn out struggle.

In any case, your premise is rather faulty. There is no reason to believe the Others don't also think in terms of strategy. They are not mindless zombies. They are clearly thinking, reasoning beings.

Like you're saying, this is pretty much true with every fantasy show. But yeah the whitewalkers have lost all mystery and so a big part of the show's hook is lost.

Autism is not pointing out that war needs more than fighting men. You need people to feed the soldiers, to take care of shit.

It is a fight for survival, but it is not yet a last-stand.

Send your women South where it is a (relatively) warmer and they are out of harm's way. Get them raising the next generation of soldiers.

That's of-course setting aside the fact that women are smaller and weaker than men and this is a world reliant on melee combat.

>>85154985
The Vale, Dorne, and the Reach have plenty.

Like I said, train the able-bodied women a little bit but don't put them out in the field marching with your main force. They serve the fight best by assisting with logistics in various ways.

The only time they should be fighting is if they can't flee and the enemy has reached them.

You're a fucking moron, you are talking about possibly over a hundred thousand soldiers, do you think food falls from the fucking sky you fucking idiot? Do you think tents are made by the fucking birds? Who's going to make the beds after the soldiers come in after a long day of hard work and training?

Naturally, women being the less competent in combat it's up to them to take care of that shit. Rather than sending a breeder off to the front lines to get fucking killed she would be better off taking care of the campaign and helping to repopulate after many are massacred. If you put all your women in combat so that they all die and then you fucking win, you're fucked. If you lose, you're fucked anyway so who cares

They don't have 20 years to raise another army to defeat the threat.

Citation needed.

Sure they're largely untouched but they have enough men to defeat the undead army that absorbed the majority of the wildling army+ whatever amount they had before?

Sorry but nobody knows if it'd be anywhere near enough. Are the armies fresh? Yeah. But more that doesn't mean they're strong enough to defeat the white walkers. On top of that jon snow doesn't know if he can unit all of these armies.

Ed Skrein (the first guy) left to do some reboot of a British series I've never heard of (The Transporter: Refueled).
I looked into it after I saw the same actor play Ajax in Deadpool and liked his performance there.
...
Except that I fact-checked it just now and found an interview where Ed Skrein said that he wanted to stay, but was fired.
Huh.

>make a scene where Stannis loves his daughter and says he would do nothing to hurt her because he spent all his power to keep her alive from greyscale

>lol lmao i gotta burn u for da sun god the LITERAL next scene

when they decided that shock value > good consistent writing and characters

its why this season will be filled with shock what a tweest scenes. jon and dany fuck for more incest shock, littlefinger dying, jaime killing cersei etc. i really dont have a problem with those ideas but they are throwing them in their as a priority over good quality television

This. After everyone lost their shit over the Red Wedding, DnD realised they could capitalise on this and go for muh shock and twists
>>
>>85156084
You act like they were shocked about the reaction to the red wedding. They knew day 1 what the community reaction was going to be like. I mean it's literally the entire reason the show got made at all.
>>
>>85156172
The general reaction yes, but maybe not Youtube being plagued with reaction videos and stroking DnDs ego.

It makes sense for tv show Stannis. He brought his wife and kid along with him, as if they had no home to back too. In the books they are brought to the wall, but left at East Watch by the Sea, not brought along on his march. I guess you could assume he took all able bodied men North for his last stand type of thing. He was all in.

But ya, that scene was done poorly to say the least.
>>
>>85141189
this. I never liked her plot, she seems to be handed everything magically yet displays no actual skills that she has had to earn. Jon Snow is strong but you can imagine that he has spent countless hours practicing swordfighting and archery in his youth. She seems to have ZERO skills at anything. Yes, she can command dragons but it's not really an earned skill, it's like something she was born with. She just walks around with a stern face and monotone voice and commands people to do things and they obey loyally. It really is a ridiculous mary sue storyline. I think this is why people like Jon Snow more than her and people only like her because of those phat ass shots in the first couple of seasons.

I definitely agree about dany but I think this is more just a matter of the show runners being poor writers. I say this because jon is starting to become like this. Sansa should be queen of the north. Not Jon. Ramsay should have won the battle of the bastards, not Jon. He's nowhere near as bad as Dany but its still there.

Season 3 was when the cracks started showing, When Barry the Bold died like a bitch it was beyond redeemable.

This actually. The compounding changes after that progressively and steadily made the show worse and worse.

>>85136942
There are a couple of things plotwise where i prefer the show. For starters, I hate character resurrection (including Jon Snow ) so I actively disliked it ever since the lady Stoneheart. I would have been ok with it If for some mystical reason Berric was the only person who could be brought back. I was kinda hoping it would be revealed that Lord of Light has nothing to do with it - Berric comes back on his own
So i was glad that Arya didn't pull the body from the river.

Season 2's season finale, Daenearys in yhe (house of something something, it's been too long). It was the first time they REALLY fucked up a good part of the books

Assuming Tommen, Marcella, Stannis, and Shireen all die, who is the actual legal heir to the throne? Who is the heir to Dragonstone? Who is the heir to Storm's End?

Other children's children of Robert's granfather. I mean thats how in works in real life
>>
>>85160659
>who is the actual legal heir to the throne? Who is the heir to Dragonstone? Who is the heir to Storm's End?

Cersie has legal right to throne, as she was the queen, and there are literally no direct blood descendants of Robert left (even if Cersies children were baratheons)

Storms End and Dragonstone do not have heirs, due to Baratheon line ending. Danerys has rights to take dragonstone due to the fact it was abandoned by Stannis, and storms end will be given a new lord by Cersie.
>>
>>85160957
Next in line should be Bobby B's paternal uncle. If none are alive, then the oldest male of Bobby B's oldest male paternal uncle. But where are they? Where are all the Baratheons?
>>
>>85150546
His complaint is those personalities are not realistic. It started as a medieval show and it slowly became a fantasy show.
>>
>>85160994
>Cersie has legal right to throne, as she was the queen
That's not how it works. Cercei's only right to the throne is "I control the treasury and I blow up people who disagree with me"
>>
>>85160851
Here we go, another post I see asking about legal heirs of the throne once the ruling dynasty is extinguished.
I must come to this board that the wrong time every single day, because I've said this exact same thing about 40 times in the last month or so.

I should really write this down in notepad and copy/paste instead of writing it from scratch every time[

I will give you a """short""" version which wont be that short but short enough.
If the main Baratheon dynasty is dead (Robert and his immediate family) it would pass to the nephews and cousins in the Baratheon line.
Robert has no heirs after Stannis and Renly.
Estermonts are not Baratheons and would not legally be entitled to any claim.
Cersei would only be legally entitled to rule as regent, but seeing as she has no children and commited adultery, It's pretty easy to assume she would be hanged or at least imprisoned / stripped of all titles. Obviously this would require everyone to know about Robert's children being bastards.

Bastards also CANNOT inherit and cannot be legitimised unless by decree of the king himself, and no other.
Essentially what would probably happen is all the great lords of the great houses and the high septon and all the other important people in the realm would hold a great council and decided upon the next king, or someone will take the throne by right of conquest or something. Really there is no actual written basis for this by GRRM so It's ultimately impossible to know and really rather pointless to discuss.

All the other disputes over kingship in the past have been the result of direct heirs claiming the throne / bastards being legitimised and causing scandals (I.E Targ / Blackfyre).
The Harrold Hardyng / Arryn dispute happened due to the fact every single Arryn is dead except Robert, and his legal heir is a great-nephew of the paternal line, who has Arryn blood.

>introduce an overpowered magic that can't be guarded against
>realize that it can end the conflict instantly
>"Y-you could have used it only once because muh kingsblood, you will die if you try it again"
Martin you fucking hack. You should have made magic more systematic.
>>
>>85161066
Magic should never solve problems. This should be a golden rule for fantasy writing.
>>
>>85161059
Cersei has no children via wedlock*

Also the Targaryen dynasty was exiled, stripped of all rights and titles when Robert won the throne so all of their claims are forfeit, too, meaning they have as much legal right to the throne as I do, which is none, in case you were wondering.
>>
>>85161066
Or just cut out the bullshit overpowered magic. Should have just been a simple assassination.
>>
>>85161045
Who else can take it? Robert has no family (in the show) alive that could have any reasonable claim over cersie. Cersie was a legitimate queen alognside robert for many years, and all the heirs to the throne have died. All of roberts brothers have died, and roberts niece has died. The line of sucession points very strongly to cersie over anyone else.
>>
>>85161092
Dany/maybe Aegon/maybe Jon has a claim on the Iron Throne. The ruling dynasty doesn't recognize it, but it exists.
