I don’t understand the hate for “Shut up and Dance” and the meh-ness for “White Bear.” To me, these are the best because they ask you to spend an entire episode sympathizing for these people who are going through something grueling. They’re being tortured but an unseen force while you get more and more invested in…

I thought Yara was going to demand independence. She had this look on her face like, “Wait, we can do that?”

i have a hard time understanding how you complain about a scene you have not seen.

So, this dumb movie that you hate you’ve seen twice?  Why?

You have a problem with a rat stepping on a control panel as being the most unrealistic thing in a movie with a sentient raccoon, Pegasus, Norse god, a lady who can shoot energy out of her hands and fly through space, and actual magic, among an almost unnameable plethora of other things.

Might makes right, history is written by the victors, and all of that. That’s why I specifically used Henry VII as my example because he’s technically a usurper. He had very little claim to the throne, other than being a distant relative who married Edward IV’s daughter. The people accepted him though because he depose…

Yah. At this point in the runtime, we all KNEW that part of what Marvel was doing was a victory lap...showing us THE GOODS. “We worked 10 years on this. Here it is. Enjoy. Shit is changing after this.”

I’ve provided you two scenarios, one which is pretty easy to get behind and another that might take some stretching to get there, but it’s still plausible in a world with a talking raccoon.

As for the Stark ‘figuring it out’ issue, this is a guy who is told it is impossible to create a new element and then less than a…

Daenerys would be a trash queen. She’s unarguably a good conqueror, but she can’t rule — look what happened with the Sons of the Harpy in Mereen and her own inability to hold Yunkai or Astapor, the way she burned supplies in battle while bringing none of her own to Winterfell, the way she leads with threats rather…

Criticisms of pandering in a movie that was literally designed to pander to everyone seem a bit excessive.

I think you’re making more of this specific scene than it was intended. I don’t think its suppose to be some well earned Big Moment girl power accomplishment that breaks down all the barriers. It’s just suppose to be a pandering fan service feel good moment in a movie filled with pandering fan service feel good…

“I don’t begrudge anyone who was moved by Endgame’s girl power moment in a way I wasn’t.”

Pretty much my whole theater loved it.

My thought process as they all started showing up was: “It’s the ladies! Will it be all of them? That’s a bit contrived.... Fuck it, I don’t care, this is great.”

I’m with the woman in your theater. I thought the moment was awesome when I watched it, and I still do.

I don’t disagree with anything you’ve said here.

Obviously the correct thing to do would have been to calmly explain why her emotional response to the scene was invalid.

I know the shot made no natural sense within the context of the scene, but it’s something I wanted to happen and they delivered on it, so I’m not complaining.

If you want to get technical, Jon’s not in line for shit. The line of succession was broken with Robert’s Rebellion and now it’s a matter of might makes right. 

Why do they need to stop having sex to rule together?  A marriage might make great political glue for that kind of arrangement.  I get that you guys are stressing about the incest, but dude, it’s feudalism.

I have to agree with most of your points here. It was extremely underwhelming and anticlimactic. This was the great existential threat to the universe and they just had Arya end it with some silly ninja shit? It felt like something the writers wanted to get out of the way real quick because they were more interested…

I dunno, the visuals were pretty bad here. Even aside from the general snowy gritty darkness of it all, there was lots of slow-motion anonymous sword hacking, very few memorable images.
