Can’t show that! You gotta just see one character actually use wildfire in a trap and them assume that the wildfire we see hidden throughout a falling city has nothing to do with her, but with Game of Thrones lore that’s 20 years old and you’re just supposed to know that it was old wildfire that was just forgotten

Euron's entire journey is a whole lot of nothing. No one on the show understands how naval battles work. 

D&D: Okay, so we set up that both the Crown and Lannisters are broke, so they need money. Who has money? Highgarden. They go and get it!

They mention it, but never mention they're still there. 

They mention lost caches of wildfire?

But, as history has shown, you don’t need a good army to hold out. You could win a siege with weaker forces smaller numbers, and time. Sieges were not about who had the best army, but who had the most patient army. Any castle with decent archers, halfway competent swordsmen, and a metric shitton of food could hold out

Or give it to Sansa. Because, why not? She certainly didn't earn it. 

This show wants to have Jon be a loyal white knight coming in all pure to take the throne. The Starks are always the good guys who never do any wrong.

I’ll put the blame on D&D. They clearly just went off on their own. 

Gotta save Arya for reasons.

I mean, the Lannister army walked up to Highgarden, probably the single most well-equipped castle in the entire world to wait out a siege, and these fuckers had it taken in a day. Why even build a castle? 

If it wasn’t true, then why have them at all? It’s not like there is ever a line about lost wildfire caches hidden in the city for the last 20 years.

One detail everyone seems to miss because no one took medieval warfare classes:

This show left subtly and nuance behind long ago. Now it’s:

The showrunners have never had a clue how to set up an actual siege, so it's unsurprising when they decide that castles aren't fortresses, but instead mild inconveniences. Castles in the real world hold out for months or years. Every castle in the show falls immediately (except for Riverrun). It's annoying. 

It’s fun to watch a series defined by strong women, and supported in part because of those representations, fall apart at the end because the dude who is the worst suddenly deserves the throne because he’s a dude.

The one. I was expecting more. Because they all got super chill with murdering innocent people really fast. 

If they were left over, then why show them at all? TV is a visual medium, which means you connect what you see to what you saw. We saw Cersei use wildfire to lay traps before. We see Cersei cornered, we see more wildfire. There’s no reason to assume they had anything to do with anything other than what we’ve been

No way. The books and show are so far apart that none of this matters. 

But we also never hear about wildfire stashes never being found.
