This season of Game of Thrones feels like fan fiction

This is going to be every show from now on. Just pandering to normies so they can make their epic reaction videons on social media.

well, yeah. There's rarely a quality adaptation that doesn't follow the source material.

>>86677893
Jesus, this thread again... It's just a show for normies. Nothing deep or interesting here. Just enjoy it or get a life, dude.

I skimmed over the article and what I got out of it was
>New Season of GoT is a basically a fan fiction
>And its a good thing!
Tell me I missed something

>At times this season has practically felt like fan fiction — and that’s exactly what has made it one of the most satisfying seasons yet.

If you really want to get triggered then watch the making of the episode and listen to DnD

>We have been wanting to have a big zombie polar bear for 4 seasons and this year we just did it
>The rational decision was for Jon to not get on the dragon and defend it from the handful of oncoming wights
>We needed an emotional moment for Benjen and Jon so we made him show his face to Jon
>We structured the whole episode from the idea of having a wight dragon and just wrote the story backwards from the final scene
>We were meant to kill Tormunt but we just changed our mind when we wrote it

It literally is a fan fiction

>>86678603
jesus christ. these are basic writing fiction mistakes.

>>86679095
huh? That's a basic and very commonly used technique for fiction writing. Sure, overusing it is a mistake and you'll end up with something like LOST, but using it every so often is perfectly fine and can even enhance your story.

>bran can see everything past and future
>still baits his brother to get a dragon killed, doesn't prevent little finger from fucking with the stark girls

for what purpose

>>86678603
>The rational decision was for Jon to not get on the dragon and defend it from the handful of oncoming wights
oh come on

>>86677920
That's why you ignore pop culture in the first place you pleb

>>86678603
>We were meant to kill Tormunt but we just changed our mind when we wrote it

They really have lost their balls now that they can't rely on the books. The flying medieval atom bombs have entered the fight and they're still not able to kill off a character who's had more than 10 minutes of screentime throughout the entire series.
That's why there has been no sense of suspense in any of the battles this season. All of the main characters are invulnerable now.

>>86679214
But it's so jarring here. Everything in this season feels like a "milestone" that they "had to include at some point", and everything in between is contrived non-sense. The characters' behaviors are completely unreasonable and the sense of time passing is nonexistent.

Can you point out an example of this technique being used and the story feeling like it advanced organically?

>>86679528
ok, frodo and gollum doing their thing and getting the ring destroyed. Obviously the whole story was structured with Frodo eventually making it to the fires of mount doom, everything up to that point can be seen as a gigantic contrivance, especially with the whole "eagles" criticism

Hollow is the keyword, funny I always wanted it to culminate in a faster action oriented show, and now that it has done that I don't like it!

>>86679733
There's already ice horses moron

>>86678603
The actual work that has been put in this season is great, just a shame that the most important aspect, the fucking scripts have been pretty shit.

>>86679268
hahahgahaahahahahahahah

jonlet thinking a dragon needs its help to defend itself

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA

>>86679813
A character having a end goal he's set out towards isn't the same as writing backwards from a thing you want.

>I want to make Frodo lose his finger no matter what, so he'll kill several orcs, betray Sam totally out of character to marry a zombie goblin who'll bite off his finger in the honeymoon

>>86678186

this, OP baited me into reading a garbage normie article

>>86677893
Because is sort of is?i mean is a made up sequel of the fatfuck books soo...

>>86678603
>the visuals look more kinographic in this made for Youtube piece than they do in the actual episode

What convinced them to ruin the aesthetic appeal with the blue meme filters they use?

>>86677920
This happened to Better Call Saul season three

>>86679303
Every you are consuming is pop culture at this point. Except if you read your grandmas diaries or go to off-Broadway plays.

>>86677893
its been game of fanfiction for 3 seasons now

>>86679029
>man with his fans.jpg

>mfw tv/film babbies pretend their medium is worthy of /lit/ tier writing
You're low-brow people with a low-brow hobby.

>>86678603

Holy fuck at those YouTube comments. Those comments make /tv/'s discussions seem like an Ivy League film course.
