i can blame GRRM for what happened in the books and blame B&Wfor the changes they chose not to make in the show. this wasn't a shot for shot adaptation here.

WOW. one whole black guy who wasn't a slave? next you'll be telling me there were TWO whole black guys who weren't slaves. that's totally all anyone should expect out of a cast of a million.
it's being condemned because these exact same men have done a slave/oppression narrative before, and it was all about the white savior.
"Given that the only recurring characters in our current show with a cast of hundreds who aren't white are former slaves who exist to serve the whitest woman who has ever lived, we're insulted by the refusal of black fans to just give us the benefit of the doubt when it comes to writing an entire show based around…
oh boy i didn't know there was a video!
i liked the idea of maergery. it was a great concept, outwardly kind and friendly with a shrewd core that she mostly kept hidden. but it felt like she never went anywhere as a character. she seemed to fail at everything quietly until they killed her off.
all the GOT fans screaming about how his 3 lines and 90 second song rendered the human race extinct would lose their minds. i would miss maisie williams, but it would be worth it.
i loved him back when he was nothing but a source of two memes, "you know nothing" and "[person from a completely different universe] i know him. he's ned stark's bastard". now that the fans are all up in his grill, i'm ready for him to die.
i can't root for daenerys. i don't see her learning from mistakes at all. it's like once a year they give her a Certified Badass Scene (tm) where she slaughters a bunch of dudes and that stands in for any kind of character development. she has dragons and her dad was (a horrific) king! so obviously she's wise and…
i'm actually really enjoying the later seasons, but i've learned B & W aren't to be trusted with stories about brown or black people. the dothraki are a textbook primitive savage stereotype. dorne talked a good game about being 1000% more enlightened than bloodthirsty westeros, then went PSYCH. grey worm and missandei…
every once in a while i remember theon is the brother of lily allen and she wrote a song about how he's a stoner who never does anything
i don't see how anyone could not have a dragon fetish in a world where dragons actually exist
no one gets anything if they don't hustle, obviously. it was weird seeing him interact with his interview subject, a recent widow, as though he was waitstaff, she was the customer who declared she didn't believe in tipping, and he fully intended to spit in her food.
the only roles i can of this criticism applying to are star wars, which was a bizarre black hole of charisma for everyone involved, and thor, where i thought she was delightful.
i wasn't around at the time, so i can't compare her to the real deal, but her performance was astoundingly nuanced. the only thing that bugged me was how antagonistic the reporter was. being skeptical or distant would be understandable. he acted like she ran over his dog.
LIES. did you see her in jackie?
thank you for explaining to me how the world works. i was completely unaware before.
my nephew used to make himself throw up if he was made to eat something he didn't want to, then he would have a ready-made excuse for why he couldn't try it again. "strimps choke me" was my personal fave. imagine forcing all restaurants to deal with that on a constant basis.
i'm used to that sort of thing when the options are only meat or fish, but if they had a vegetarian option listed, making people think they would be accommodated properly, and this is what they gave, damn. i would want to set something on fire.
well, if you have multiple kids, just buy one of the $18 entrees and split it between them. there you go!
