I’d be ok with this version of Stannis if they didn’t have him become totally flexible all of a sudden and burn his daughter. Or even if that still happened but his comeuppance was because he didn’t stick to his principles. However neither happened.

Or maybe, just maybe he was also truly awful, being that he, y’know, dropped bombs that didn’t need to be dropped.

Weird and fucking lovely

I find it incredible that the AVClub, usually so quick and sure of itself when it comes to warning of the dangers of entitlement, is struggling with understanding it’s dangers all of a sudden.

Better with the Tracy Flick from Elction warpath music imo.

Dragon fire melts stone beams!

I would love to see a venn diagram of people pissed off with what’s been done with Dany’s character and people who think the dropping of nuclear bombs on Japan was fully justified. Definitely won’t be a single circle but I suspect the overlaps would be interesting.

No doubt if Dany won the Throne she’d put out lots of false reports that the whole of King’s Landing had it coming due to the tactics of the Lannisters

Lol she didn’t hate inequality she always wanted to be queen. That’s about as unequal as you can get.

Poor Emilia Clarke earning millions for her mediocre acting skills, my heart bleeds. And besides there was plenty of stuff in the show that hinted at Dany being capable of this horror from her family history to her vision in Qarth. I mean thank god it wasn’t about anything as prosaic as “breaking the wheel” or as…

Hardly misogynist when guys not getting laid literally go on mass shootings, now multiply that apparent entitlement by being a queen and having a dragon. It’s gonna be bad news.

It’s easy to work out when you realise they had nothing themselves and just relied on Martin, once he got to famous and rich to care about the show they were fucked.

Well in season 1 she had a very different set of emotions to play and did it well, after that as the character got more agency Clarke’s lack of ability was more obvious.

Delighted I called it being ash not snow in the throne room vision back in Ep10 of season 2 https://tv.avclub.com/1803593445, delighted Dany is a villain, absolutely gutted DnD are the hackiest hacks that ever hacked and got us here in the hackiest way possible.

Can’t wait for the reveal the guy has been conning the two women all along and gets away with it. A beautiful gender reversal indeed.

What’s funny is RJ is saying the series is called Game of Thrones but that’s the TV show not the books which are A Song Of Ice and Fire, therefore Rj’s making a point that the TV Show has a very different throughline from the books but that the people who focused on that different throughline aren’t culpable for the…

He’s a psychopath who tortured and murdered a pregnant cat and her kittens in the book when he’s about 7 so it’s very much in his wheelhouse.

Indeed more evidence that DnD are hacks with Tyrion going from the genius tactician and strategist of Blackwater to a incompetent for the Winterfell battle.

1 out of 3 ain’t bad.
