OFFICIAL GAME OF THRONES THREAD | HOUSE OF THE DRAGON Premieres 8.21.22 | OFFICIAL TRAILER REVEALED

[Nouss]

^Felt like I got robbed watching the bottom half just now. Seriously wth?

 

[sfc415]

Hardcore dudes in here.. when has a movie ever match up to the book version?

How is pointing out something that the show itself said/emphasized for 4-5 seasons= "hardcore" or comparing to the books? Dragon fire easily melting down Harrenhall, an impenetrable stone castle, was discussed multiple times throughout the show. There's even that entire scene with Tywin and Arya where they talk about which Targaryens rode in to attack HH

People asking these questions must not care about paying attention to important details.

 

[Master Zik]

Someone brightened up the scenes. Literally night and day...

Oh my ******* old gods.

Do y'all see the difference? Trash *** lighting, cinematography, and HBO compressing.

To think this show is going out like this. There should've never been this kind of problem in the final ******* season.

He**, didn’t Viseryion burn down a portion of the wall at Winterfell in that SAME episode when the NK was still piloting him??

But, Rhaegal did take a chunk out of him so fire was escaping from the wound by the time he got to Jon so you could say his stone melting capabilities were hindered at that point.

Huge difference. my macbook was somewhere in the middle of both..I think they probably thought it would be a cool effect during production but the finished product didnt live up to it

Yeah, when I finally raised the brightness on my tv it was better but not close to that quality.

I aint even notice some unsullied got their head cut off in that melee

 

[youngwolf]

is it this one? i know this is the arya one

Yea, except it was the intro. You know, HBO static and then, "doonnn dooonn dadadonnn donnnn dondonndonndonnn....."

 

[youngwolf]

Someone brightened up the scenes. Literally night and day...

I literally pressed pause and adjusted my settings as soon as the scene with Jorah riding back came on and started the entire episode from the beginning again. Was relieved when I got back online and saw this was a problem for everyone and not just us.

My girlfriend literally said, "what the **** is this?!?!"

He better be right about it being a compression issue. BR set will be bought day 1.

Thats a fact

Here you are

 

[youngwolf]

My man! Thanks a ton.

 

[nawghtyhare]

There will be more fights to come; House Glover will stand behind House Stark as we have for a thousand years, and I will stand behind Jon Snow, the King in the North!

i swear
this gif is never NOT funny

 

[nawghtyhare]

this made me even more mad at the episode

 

[diabolicaldeezy]

So is this the biggest let down in the GOT series?

Holy hell. I was robbed of a ton of stuff the first time through. This makes me so angry. This lighting problem should never have been an issue.

 

[Master Zik]

So is this the biggest let down in the GOT series?

Honestly, yeah.

Before it was how Dorne was handled.

 

[shogun]

what exactly is stopping Arya from using the faceless mask/stealth stuff to murder Cersei (and Euron if needed), and prevent the coming war?

The writers who want another battle for the show.

 

[shogun]

Yeah, hbo goofed. We got idiots in this thread defending not being able to see what the hell was on the screen. Talking bout it’s night, we’re not supposed to see. It’s a damn tv show, what’s the point of the audience not being able to watch it?

 

[extraordinary swag]

So is this the biggest let down in the GOT series?

Dorne was way worse than this to me, every single thing about them was handled terribly. At least we got SOME good visuals from this battle and excellent scoring. Dorne was underwhelming from beginning to end, terrible writing, terrible acting, terrible fight choreography and they had major characters going out like wimps.

 

[calibeebee]

Honestly, yeah.

Before it was how Dorne was handled.

Yep. Dorne and the sand snake season was for sure the previous worst. This episode takes the cake. It’s a shame they don’t have much time to make up for it

 

[District of Columbia]

Trash *** writers really ruined this season for me. Been hyping up the last night and the WWs for 8 YEARS .. and they end it halfway through the last season in 1 night

Dudes should be banned from film making after this

 

[antidope]

Bad story telling is what's stopping this only.

 

[cashbanks]

Please - every other "major character" was barely functioning and pretty much out of commission. Had any of them shown up, they would have been washed by a WW at the very least. Jon was at the point of yelling into Viserion's face and getting roasted alive - the fight was over.

So the only real threat to the NK at that point was Arya, who is a master assassin that hasn't been in the picture in Winterfell until only VERY recently, so he had no intelligence indicating he should expect her. There is no reason for him to suspect they were hiding an assassin of her caliber with level 100 sneak in the vicinity. When you've utterly destroyed Winterfell and there are only minor stragglers left, there's no reason to wait another hour and coordinate a detailed search unless you're expecting a high-level assassin, which, again, he had no reason to suspect.

And let's not argue like he just left himself completely unguarded - he was surrounded by hundreds of wights and was escorted by a group of White Walkers. You can't act like his plan was so fundamentally flawed because the show builds Arya up to such a skill-level that she is literally the only person in Westeros capable of sneaking past all of the wights and WWs to launch a jumping assassination attack. She is the 0.0001% factor that they didn't prepare for, perfectly suited to do a job literally no one else could have done. Now does that mean the show put her skills on too high of a pedestal? Maybe, but I think the NK's plan was solid and extremely well-executed.

Fam I’m not reading all of that, no matter what I type you’ll make up some excuse or nonsense reason why some **** that made no sense was ok.
If you think him all of a sudden exposing himself to obvious danger when he didn’t have to made sense then that’s you, but I don’t have to buy into that nonsense the way he went about it was stupid and poorly written.

We obviously disagree, it’s ok to leave it at that sometimes.
