>little girl disguising as an old man What the fuck is this

the real jump the shark moment was when the witch gave birth to a shadow demon

it was a pure deus ex machina and was fucking stupid

>>85200395
It was brought up again by Stannis, but Melisandre dismisses it with something like "it doesn't work that way". I'm sure it is better explained in the books.

>>85200395
>>85200900
Well, I should have just Googled before making my previous reply:

Stannis asks Melisandre to make him another "son" to slay Joffrey as well as Robb Stark. However, she refuses him, explaining that creating a Shadow drains some of a man's life energy, and she fears that if Stannis attempts to create another with her it will kill him.[5] Instead, she has Gendry brought to Dragonstone, since he also has king's blood, being the son of Robert Baratheon, using him for the leech ritual which is less effective than the shadows but which possibly leads to the deaths of Joffrey, Robb and Balon Greyjoy.

It's actually not better explained in the books, Melisandre is one of my biggest problems with these novels. Just magic bullshit out of nowhere as an excuse to easily kill off one of the coolest characters.

What you read there was probably added for the TV series because Martin is a fucking hack.

>>85199901
I'm not up to the latest /tv/ memes, what the fuck means jump the shark.

>>85201198
>Just magic bullshit out of nowhere
It's a fantasy series with dragons and unicorns and shiet.
>as an excuse to easily kill off one of the coolest characters.
A renlyfag? Truely, i've seen it all now.

>>85201227
The fuck? Jump the shark is a really old phrase referring to an episode of Happy Days where the Fonz literally jumped over a shark. It's used to mean the point where the series ran out of ideas and had to start resorting to ridiculous shit.

Sounds like you're probably ESL from the way you phrased your post so I think that's more likely to blame for you not knowing this phrase. It's understandable, just don't blame it on memes next time.

>>85201227
Jumping the shark comes from Happy Days, not recent at all.

>>85201269
I don't know about the TV series but Renly was cool in the books.

And it's a fantasy series but one that mostly managed to avoid the sword and sorcery bullshit in favor of being more realistic and political.

They jumped the shark when they passed the books timeline.

This faceless god shit is fucking retarded and is easily my least favorite part of this entire series I wish the hound would have raped aria to death in that cottage instead of stealing from those random peasants. He could still feel remorse and then I wouldn't have to look at this girl and follow her stupid fucking nonsense magic storyline.

Do normies really believe this?

>>85200947
>showfag wiki in charge of not being retarded

>>85201198
Yes, that was the shows explanation but from the books:

A Clash of Kings
>The effect of Melisandre's sorcery on Stannis is significant. He appears to have aged years after siring a shadow assassin on her. Davos notices that his eyes are like dark blue bruises in the hollows of his face.

A Storm of Swords
>Melisandre visits Davos in his prison in Dragonstone. She tells him that shadows only live when given birth by light. She admits to him that Stannis's fires now burn so low that she dare not draw off any more to make another son, as it might well kill him. She indicates she can make more shadow assassins with another man, implying Davos, but the prisoner rejects her offer, believing their union would only result in a horror. Davos holds fast to the Faith of the Seven instead of Melisandre's god, R'hllor.

>>85199901
GoT probably jumped the shark around when they added those very faceless men. They are an absurd plot device that make no sense whatsoever within the context of their world. For all the babble about how aragorn collects his taxes, you'd think he'd recognize how impossible it would be for the world he imagined to exist while such an organization does. These guys could've wiped out all the targaryens in an evening and should be ruling the world.

Debatable. I can see why some might see it that way though.

The prologue of the first book had Ice Fairies killing a man with their magic sword then raising him as a zombie.

Thanks, I used to browse /tv/ around 2015-2016 and never saw the term and also I'm not from the US

>>85199901

The problem is the source material
GoT books are way over rated and full of retarded fantasy elements thrown in just to distinguish them from LOTR or medieval history.

Added onto the fact the show is being handled by utterly incompetent screenwriters means the magic/fantasy elements that go outside or beyond the books just get more and more rediculous

>>85201434
book answer is the faceless men have some type of super glamour spell thing that has to do with the faces they cut off. Mel says glamours caesar with bonerface's bones because they're required as totems, so presumably faces are a really good totem.
>>85201413
lel showfag, they caused the doom of valyria.

>>85201513

the show is fucking trash.

Season 2 was the last decent season. Once Muh Magic, Daenrys plot armor and Berries & Cream guy it was all downhill from there.

>>85201527
>they caused the doom of valyria
Wasn't it a poisonous volcano or some shit? And if they're so powerful as to bring down Valyria why don't they take over the world again?

>>85201576
Nobody knows what caused the doom. He's bullshitting.

>>85201576
They're a highly nuisanced assassin deathcult, do you have any idea what the overhead is on an operation like that?
>>85201615
nothing is confirmed obviously but it's implied they may have had a hand in the outcome

>>85201332
Fucking this. Literally the most autistic thing you can do in the middle of a battle is take your fucking shirt off, take out two knives, and stand in front of your much better armed allies. Amplified by the fact that he as a noble should really be nowhere near a battle like that. This and the fight with the Sand Sneks stand out as really stupid, unrealistic fights for the sake of "le epic moments xD".

How long did she have to pretend to be the old man? It would at least be a month between the end of the feast where the real one was killed and organising the new one.

Basically what I'm asking is did she lez out with the old mans teenage wife on the regular to keep up the disguise. Maybe gotten a little carried away and spent days just pounding away her with her big wax silly-willy.

I seriously dont fucking understand the GoT hate, let me get this straight...you want logic or things to make sense in A FUCKING SHOW THAT TAKES PLACE IN A MAGICAL LAND?

Please go fuck yourselves, do you people think you are watching Gladiator? Wake the fuck up, I watch the show because I enjoy it but im not a fanboy, yeah shit that doesnt make sense happens deal with it, if you dont like it go watch real historical drama and shut your fucking mouths.

Game of Thrones jumped the shark in episode 9 of season 1.

No one's asking for realism you sperg, just a consistent universe.

>>85201908

Anon...

>>85201917
No YOU are the sperg, you expect a "consistent" unverse with rules, characters, etc, well guess what? In real life people straight up die or vanish, that happens its not like a fairy tale were everyone lives till the end except the baddies.

Also we dont even know the scope of the GoT universe, for all we know there are aliens or people from the future who the fuck knows?

I'd like it if the show cut most of the magical elements, yes. Just leave the zombies and fire-worship bringing people back to life so there is some light mystery going on and something for the normies.

Maybe cut all the magic out entirely and have the wildlings migrating as a major threat as they are pushed by famine like a barbarian migrations throughout history. Also fuck the dragons because they add nothing.

Nostalgia talking. They're borderline soap operas. The early acting and over abundance of nudity and sex as well as shitty production values really stick out upon a revisit. Look at it with a critical eye and it doesn't hold up.
Compare it with something like breaking bad which has great performances across the board and it's laughable. Thank god for Sean because he saved this show.

There's a noticeable drop in quality after season 2. You'll for sure see this if you rewatch it and isn't a complete pleb.
