They mentioned the "Gendry still rowing" bullshit this season. They're aware of the cleganebowl meme, and I'm willing to bet it'll happen in the last season.

I like Qyburn. He's not inherently evil. He just does Cersei's bidding because she allows him to conduct his experiments like a medieval Cody's lab

There are plenty of things wrong with the show but your complaint was retarded

>>87015791
Cersei has been wearing mourning dresses since her kids died. She hasn't wore her usual clothes since then.

Jaime isn't kingsguard anymore so he's been wearing more reserved armour, still heavily features lions to show family allegiance.

Qyburn is just a fucking weirdo

>>87017233
They probably cleaned them to look good for the big meeting. Maybe Dany hosed down Drogon too.

>>87018219
We don't really know at the minute. He appears to be able to make some basic decisions, but that's all he's been shown to do so far.

The hound is tall for normal guys but the mountain is supposed to be even bigger than him.

Here it looks like they'd be the same height if it weren't for that dipshit helmet the mountain has on.

>>87017977
Their leather fetishism took the better of them. At this point only Brienne has a semi functional looking armor

>>87017977
Probably costs them too much money to pay the actors, so they need to cut corners elsewhere. If the major actors get a million each, think about how many props you could get for like 5 of those actors.

"Too much" is relative. The viewership for GoT is insane. So much more than anything HBO has ever aired, it's a tentpole for their entire brand now.

>>87018597
Budgets are budgets. If you have 5-10 actors that go from $250k to $1 million then you're spending $3.75 - $7.5 million extra. Something is getting cut to make up for it.

Notice how this happens with every TV show. The further along the series goes the worse the props and all of that get in quality. This is why the writers/directors like to keep TV shows at 5-10 seasons at most.

>>87018545
> The helm closes as Cersei gets closer to winning

Something about pottery.

>>87018609

I mean, he's 7 feet tall. He's as tall of an actor as they would ever get for that role and not look like a beanpole.

Conan Stevens was perfect. I don't know what idiot let him walk away from the show without offering him more money to stay, but all the recasts have really hurt the show.

Yes, but MANY more people are watching Game of Thrones now than were watching at the beginning.

Obviously that doesn't translate directly via advertising revenue like it would in broadcast television, but it has to have had a huge impact on their subscriptions. Especially online subscriptions via HBO Now.

>>87018642
That's not the Kingsguard though, that's just a city watchman

Nah, Conan left the show to play one of the orc leaders in the Hobbit, but then Hackson fucking 86d his performance and CGId the shit with different actors. They ended up using some gangly fucker for season 2 and then hired Thor when Conan wasn't available

In real life heavy armor beats all the other armors in combat. Armor impacts endurance the most. In a battle heavy armor can become a hindrance when you become tired, but in a 1vs1 duel it's more likely to help you than harm you.

"Easier" in terms of having more endurance, but your maximum bursts of speed are only very slightly slower at best. Meanwhile you have these huge metal plates that can protect you.

I don't mind the helmet honestly because I think it looks cool even though I realized it looks like a fantasy dick head just now I still think it looks cools. It reminds my of swamp thing for some reason. Maybe it's the jowl thing. The rest of the armor sucks.

I think it would be cool if Cersei's Maester studies the undead and finds a way to replicate the magic that the White Walkers use to make his own army of undead. He already kinda did something like that with the Mountain, right? Is Mountain an undead?

Mongols used to wear composite plating surrounded by tissue. Besides they relied on horse archery.

The counter to horse archery is mass foot archers along with infantry with spears and shields, just like the brits did against the French. They would be slaughtered even harder.

He's not saying that you can't move in full plate armor, only that it's easier to move in "light armor". And plate armor wasn't that heavy anyway, I don't know where that meme came from.

>>87021312
I think it's to show the difference of the kings. Every king/queen kind of has a "look" and his followers go along with that look. Lots of gold for Bobby B, lots of flashy red for Joffrey, simpler yellow for Tommen, emo black for Cersei.

>>87021312
I bet the Kingsguard armor isn't practical in battle. It looks more like "tourney armor", the kind of stuff that's meant to be flashy more than anything else. Remember that they're glorified bodyguards and (supposedly) the best fighters in Westeros on top of that. They don't really need serious armor.

>>87021480
>The counter to horse archery is mass foot archers along with infantry with spears and shields, just like the brits did against the French. They would be slaughtered even harder.
The other counter to horse archers is the fact that horse archers require many times more supplies than foot soldiers. And horse archers can't hold a fortified location like a castle on their own and would be no more useful than foot soldiers in such situations.

>>87021387
So instead of re-using the same costumes, maybe making a few more, and repairing a few, its cheaper to design and produce new Kingdguard armor at least 5 times now?

>>87021563
This, the Dothraki are going to run out of food really fucking fast. I don't understand Viserys' original plan. If he tried attacking Westeros with just the Dothraki he would have been destroyed, even if he timed it for maximum chaos (season 5 or 6).

>>87021563
>horse archers can't hold a fortified location like a castle on their own
one of the first things Genghis did was to kidnap every Chinese engineer he could get and force them to organize his sieges

Light-medium armor is nice against armies with equal or lower armour. An army of heavy armours would destroy you.

>>87021553
Not like anyone is going to attack a king anyway. If a king is getting physically attacked outside of battle, he's so beyond fucked that no matter how good his bodyguards are he's probably going to die. Like the Red Wedding, or that Targaryen queen who got fed to her brother's dragon.

>>87021483
>nobody bothers to mention that real sword fights lasted barely a few seconds
Not really. Between two fully armored knights, it was so hard to hit your opponent that many knights resorted to grappling and stabbing with a knife. That's one of the big reasons knights were traditionally so effective against non-knights, it was really hard to hit a spot that would actually kill them.

>>87021553
Bodyguard armour needs to be light enough that somebody could spend all day standing around in it if need be.
Chances are that they won't see many assassins in full plate, or even equal standard of armour.

>>87021590
>So instead of re-using the same costumes, maybe making a few more, and repairing a few, its cheaper to design and produce new Kingdguard armor at least 5 times now?
But the costume designers need a job after they're done with this. So they need something to show off on their resume for the next job they apply to.

>>87021608
In fact, the logistics of Dany's army are far more impressive than the army itself. I can imagine that the supply fleet was larger than the fleet that carried the actual army over.

>>87021611
That doesn't really help you hold them after your army leaves. And your army has to leave, so the area doesn't run out of resources. There's a reason it fell apart so quickly.

>>87021814
Exactly. She got together enough food to feed this massive army without simultaneously starving Mereen, loaded everyone onto the ships, and had enough supplies to fuck around on a completely empty Dragonstone for a long time with no concerns.

I wish D&D had showed her going to the Iron Bank or something, it would be brief but it would explain how she's paying for all this and it would show that they're hedging their bets (no matter who wins, the Iron Throne owes them a lot of money with lots of interest.

>>87021640
Mace would definitely be more effective, but sword tech adapted to plate armor as well. heavier blades with near blunt edges and such. a good swing with one of those could fuck up joints and ring somebody's bell long enough for a dagger through the eye slit.

>>87021872
I'm disappointed that they toned down Cersei's sluttiness in the show. It might seem like cheap fanservice but it really emphasizes how absurdly proud she is of her looks and her body. It also emphasizes that her relationship with Jaime is really one-sided, she just wants somebody who looks like her to fuck.

Why does the cgi look so bad in this image? I'm trying to really nail down why this looks so awful. I think it's the weird highlights around everything-- look at the edges of the boat and see how there's like a weird glow effect radiating out from it. Everything (except Varys' head I guess?) has this weird god glow radiating from it. It's like they desaturate and overexpose every cgi shot, and put it against a properly exposed and highly contrasted realistic foreground.

No, he had a more ornamental version of what the rest of the Tyrell soldiers were wearing. They just blew all their budget on dragons and used some shaped sheet metal for the costume budget.

And I think in the fight he just hit the onlooker when Oberyn dodged out of the way, and then chopped at him again because he was angry or something. Pretty sure the headaches are mentioned at some other point they were talking about him
