"Would you happen to be a white heterosexual man ?"
When you judge people according to their skin color, its called racism. That blacks in the USA suffer from racism is very sad and an indictment for your country. But what you are doing here is juts reverse-racism and self hatred. It is beyond pathetic.
My comprehension is that your are a racist since your judge people according to their skin color and sexual orientation. "White heterosexual" people apparently are not allowed to have an opinion.
Since I am not American, I do not define myself by race, and would never see myself as "white". Your obsession with skin…
Being white and heterosexual is a "privilege" ? People like you are even more insane than I thought.
I agree with you but the problem is that the same people who shout "racist" as any (stupid) guy who thinks Spiderman should be what are the same people who were outraged when some apparently asian cartoon character was played by a white actor.
These people are crazy.
"'the preoccupation with “English” magic is interesting. Why English only?'"
Marcella is dead, Jon is dead and will be resurrected, Stannis is not dead.
The Beric plot was to show that the lord of light priests could resurrect people. If Thoros can do it, Melissandre can also.
It is clearly stated in the books that magic fully came back after the dragons were born, there were just a little bit.
I did not say she made him up, she truly believes in him, but, at least in the books it is clear, the powers of "the God of Light" like the magic of everybody else, came back only after the dragons were born. So maybe this is just magic and she believes this is a God.
I can't see how the show can close everything in 7 seasons. 8 is a minimum.
My wild guess is that Shireen's sacrifice did not save Stannis army but gave Mellisandre the power to save Jon, that's how she will be able to resurrect him while she did not know how to do it until now.
Of course there is still a big ambiguity about the reality of her powers and of Rhllor - he is a real God or is it…
My bet: Brienne did not kill him, he will redeem himself and die doing something useful, probably after he will take the black and fight the WW. That's the most logical arc if he is not dead. Of course the whole tragic "failed/false" Messiah is also great if he is dead.
He may have already filmed the scene or scenes for next year, which means we will not see him a lot in season 6 but mostly in season 7. That was implied by a few things the actress playing Melissandre said (she was speaking of a very big and important scene between them after the "You know nothing Jon Snow", and…
We did not see him dead hence he is not dead. TV/ cinema rule number one. I guess he still has some part to play.
Melisandre came back to Castle Black just in time to resurrect Jon. All the interviews are obvious misdirection.
Sansa and Theon are not dead, they escaped.
Stannis is not dead, that's obvious.
Jon will be resurrected by Melisandre, that's also obvious.
I don't think you read the book, it is an alternate history of England.
We have to compromise somewhere. If magic was real, the entire history of the world would have been entirely different. There would not even be an England.
For artistic purposes I can accept a world very close to ours but slightly different because of magic. But I need to see that magic influenced the world or at least…
Magic being treated as a serious academic pursuit is fine. What is not fine is that it did not changed anything in the history of Britain and the world.
Take the war with Napoleon: the exact same events occurred with the help of magic as occurred in reality so what was the point of it ?
