I like to think Arya was Azor Ahai and Lightbringer was actually Beric and not a literal weapon. He was reborn and reforged by the lord of light several times, he and his lightsaber exist solely as the fiery weapon of R’hllor, lord of light, for the sole purpose of making certain Arya completes the prophecy/mission. I…
Early in the books she’s referred to as Arya Underfoot because she was always getting in the way where no one expected her to be. In the series, she’s always ‘off somewhere no one expects her to be’—like when the King arrives in the pilot or when Jon comes home in the first episode this year. In fact, one of the…
She grew up in the castle, and Maester Llewyn told Theon about secret passages. There is most certainly a way from inside the Great Keep (where I think she is) to the Godswood that isn’t out in the open. And you see the White Walker’s hair move (as if by the wind) right before she attacks. My guess is she somehow…
Deus ex machina has long been misused to mean “ending I, personally, didn’t see coming and don’t like”.
I agree about visuals. I was surprised that Twitter was all the rage last night on the “dark” - I had zero problems watching/seeing what was happening and, due to being out of town, wasn’t even watching on my good TV! I thought the episode was beautifully shot/choreographed.
(And Ramin Djawadi knocked it out of the…
1) Their plan was to draw the night king out, so having bran heavily fortified with fighters wouldn’t have accomplished that
One of my takeaways: The same bits of the internet who misuse the term “plot hole” are seriously misusing the term “deus ex machina”.
I honestly enjoy that Arya is the one who saves the world. It feels like an arbitrary choice
I’m not entirely sold on 8's story, but I do love me some Junction system shenanigans.
Uneducated take, perhaps. Not for you? Absolutely acceptable there.
Into the Badlands is the Iron Fist we deserve, but can’t have.
It’s still missing the point they need to embrace the over-top-kung-fu movies that were the reason for the creation of Iron Fist in the first place. If you like “grounded” martial arts, you’re not really into a guy with with glowing fists (when will this show understand the power of Shou-Lao The Undying is in the…
Yes, definitely. Rebels is significantly the better of the 2, but Clone Wars has a lot of decent set up and payoffs as well. One thing that I would strongly recommend is that you look up viewing guides for all of Clone Wars, and for Season 1 of Rebels - not all the episodes are essential, and tbh some of them are…
It’s definitely worth it. The clone wars trilogy brings so much more to the characters from the prequel movies, so much so that you start to understand Anakin and feel for him as he does what he does in Episode 3
Clone Wars will completely change how you see the prequels and star wars as a whole itself. Rebels, except for Sabine, was also VERY good
I’m losing my mind with y’all.
I saw this and just started crying. It’s been a particularly rough month or so, but this is brilliantly uplifting.
Me: I’m not paying for another streaming service.
Goddamn. That is actually an astounding surprise. Well, hell yeah! It was completely ridiculous to have this giant gap in one of the coolest parts of the official canon. Man, I really thought that they wouldn’t get me with this streaming service. They know just what buttons to push. No matter how far you run, the…
