Did they do him justice?
>>69275876
wasnt there supposed to be 3 kingsguard?
>2 swords dual wielding shit
fucking gay, couldnt even tell which one was Dawn.
>>69276007
wasnt this show supposed to be good?
>known specifically for wielding Dawn the great sword of House Dayne
>let's give him two swords to dual-wield that will be cool
>>69276107
>bookfags still complain about shit after "the yellow wedding" in Dorne happened
>>69276075
lol
>>69275876
Considering he had barely any character development, I honestly consider him an entirely separate character who just happened to share his name. That solves the wishes of both bookfags and showfags.
>>69276107
shouldn't Ed have his great sword too?
>>69276833
It was melted down you fucking idiot.
>>69277499
Don't fall for the bait
>>69275876
No howland used Bog/Frog magic/poison on him
>>69277901
I always thought he used a net for some reason.
>did they do the Sword of the Morning justice
Considering they didn't even have him using the fucking sword he got that title from?
>>69275876
What was in the tower? Rape?
>>69276107
Maybe I was just watching a shit copy, but the main sword he used (the one he thrust into the ground for whatever reason and Ned killed him with) looked milky colored. I assume that was dawn.
The fight was still kind of shit, though, and the dual wielding was stupid.
this scene was actually looking pretty cool up until he pulls the 2 dildos out god fucking damn DD you had ONE FUCKING JOB i'm so mad holy shit how is a director worth his own shit not telling them dual wielding is stupid as shit
>>69278164
Because they wanted the Clone Wars Trilogy audience.
>>69277953
yes because thats how it happens in the books
>>69278030
snow
>>69275876
this scene was so fucking shit.
>dual wielding
>no shields
>no armour on the other guys
>NO FUCKING SHIELDS AND NO ARMOUR
why the fuck dodn't dnd like shields!!!
>>69278030
No it's Ned sister giving birth Rhaegar is dead so he won't be raping her anymore.
>>69278383
The actors keep dropping them.
>>69278030
>>69278315
>yfw Jon Snow is actually Jon Sand
>>69278416
she wasn't raped she went willingly
This was amateur shit
It's Latza tier
Did he get stabbed right through his armor?
>>69278373
1) Dawn isn't Valyrian Steel
2) Arthur Dayne is Dornish, and the Dornish use a Sun in their heraldry
3) This is House Dayne's sigil
>>69278556
Do you people have a hard time understanding that plate armor doesn't cover the back of your neck?
>>69278383
Longswords were generally used without shields, as plate armor made shields kind of redundant, and the two-handed use would be rendered pointless if you had to use a shield.
I did like seeing Ned block blows with his vambraces. That's one of the few times a show like this has shown armor actually working.
>>69278433
literally how is he a sand he is a targaryen bastard.
>>69278705
Because he was born in the red mountains of Dorne.
Why don't they just make a full length movie or possibly season of Robert's Rebellion?
So Ned couldn't do a proper Sheffield accent when he was a teenager? He sounds more like one of the Beatles.
>>69278724
That still wouldn't make him a sand you twat.
>>69276075
I'm so sorry, people of 2011.
In my headcanon Howland warged into Dayne for a split second to slow him down just enough for Ned to slip him the ol blade in the gut.
Since warging into humans is tough this somehow fucked up Howland who turned into a halfwit who is confined to resting in a comfy bed since then.
It's better than what we got in the show anyhow.
>>69278724
you think they get their last name according to where their born and not who's bastard they are. It's their heritage that gives them their bastard name not geographical location.
>>69278094
he picks up that same sword he thrusted into the ground when the fight starts
I couldn't stop laughing at that scene. It was supposed to be one of the coolest right scenes it not the best in the show, but it felt so tame and that dual wield was just bad. It looked so improbable. When he is doing his damn twirls you can easily stab him.
>>69279140
Yeah, exactly. It was the main sword he used. I was just saying that it was kind of pointless for him to thrust it in the ground when he did.
>>69278476
>muh star crossed romance
>just like in my Chinese cartoons
Nope. Prophecy obsessed Rhaegar kidnapped Lyanna to try and fulfill the prince that was promised prophecy.
>>69278030
Rhaegar is on the Trident so he can't be raping her.
>>69275876
>AHHH SAVE ME GEROLD
>>69276107
The sword he stuck into the ground literally has a sun on it though.
>>69279215
my bad, idk why i assumed you thought he put down dawn and fought with two other swords.
I'm a fucking retard.
>>69278584
>plate armor doesn't cover the back of your neck
Only in shitty fantasy shows that have no budget for proper costumes.
>>69279095
No, it's where they're born, that's why Bloodraven and Bittersteel are Brynden and Aegor Rivers while the man who would be the original Blackfyre Fucking Shit was born Daemon Waters despite all having the same father.
so howland reed was not showcased even a little bit?
sounds like he was just an extra in the scene
>>69279835
he's literally some random guy with no speaking part
I doubt he'll ever be brought up again
>>69275876
Don't stab me or my son ever again
>>69279640
Daena "the defiant" was their mother right ? do you know where she is from ?
>fights 4 people off easily solo
They got his skill level right. I know no Dawn was disappointing but can't we appreciate the fact that they didn't Selmy him.
Stupid fucking book fags. The show is way better. Eat it nerds
>>69280190
>They got his skill level right. I know no Dawn was disappointing but can't we appreciate the fact that they didn't Selmy him.
>stabbed in the back and died like a bitch despite being some of the best fighters in westeros
fuck D&D so fucking much
>>69280170
Daena was Blackfyre's mum, Bittersteel and Bloodraven were born to a Bracken and a Blackwood, respectively.
>>69278383
I'm glad I don't watch anything with faggots like you to complain about these kind of details. Most of them didn't wear helmets either and swords don't make those "shing" sounds when they're drawn but that doesn't stop me from enjoying it.
>>69280336
this is the correct answer
>>69280302
>>stabbed in the back and died like a bitch despite being some of the best fighters in westeros
>
>fuck D&D so fucking much
Showfag here. Doesn't he get stabbed in the back in the books as well?
>>69280520
Probably, but it's not directly stated. Just that Howland Reed saved Ned's life and helped him defeat Dayne. Most people assumed he used some weird kind of swamp magic, so they're disappointed.
>>69280520
It isn't said iirc, just that Howland Reed saved Ned's life
>>69278476
no means no shitlord
That old tree fellow should have told Bran that we need to drag out this flashback shit for an entire season and thats why they have to go back
>ITS NOT EXACTLY LIKE IN DA BOOKS
>>69279095
>you think they get their last name according to where their born and not who's bastard they are.
That's exactly how it goes, Snow, Sand, Flowers and Stone all refer to where they hail from.
>>69279496
No, the dagger went straight through that armor plate as if it was made of adamantium.
>>69280896
Irrelevant, that dual wielding shit was some serious rage fuel. What is this, bethesda games?
>>69279095
Hahahaha
>>69280895
You mean Brynden rivers "bloodraven"
>>69281143
Pffft, not in the show.
Bloodraven isn't 1000 years old
>>69281173
yes he is he said himself you "think I wanted to sit here for a thousand years in watching the world from a distance"
I dropped the show a while ago. Did we learn anything we didn't already know? Was it at least a good fight scene?
>>69281367
Did watch todays episode ?
>>69275876
is that the other guy from dumb and dumber?
>>69281395
it was alright at best but the duel wielding was a stupid idea made by hacks.
>>69281367
That is not Blood Raven. He must have a different origin in the show.
>>69281576
Yes it is I know it doesn't look like bloodraven but that's probably because of shitty decision making.
>>69281011
Yah actually pretty close
>>69276833
He never used it in combat. It's a ceremonial weapon.
>two lines from a fan favorite speech
>""eh, that's enough. lets write the rest ourselves"
every fucking time.
>>69282279
Seriously though, what did they gain by changing the dialogue? It was perfect the way it was
>howland was short but not almost a midget
>he wasn't green
>he didn't use any mouth darts
>no net
>no trident
>he wasn't hopping around ribbiting like a frog as a distraction so Castle could kill Whent
jesus christ
>>69278230
>record scratch
>>69279095
>wikifags
Why do you idiots even try?
So what happened to the costume budget? The "armor" looks like something a retarded Larper would wear.
>>69275876
Where is my (farts) edit?
>>69281011
> dual wielding is bad
Back to lindybeige/Skallagrim channel
>>69280498
That paining is hilarious.
Armour from the 14th, 15h and 16th century, all cobbled together.
Imagine a painting of soldiers wielding modern assault rifles but some of them wearing Pickelhauben and others Napoleonic uniforms.
>>69282613
It's true though, it gives you literally no advantage whatsoever and there is so record of it ever being used in combat anywhere.
t. History major
>>69282165
yeah no Valyrian blades are also used for combat
See: John Snow
>>69282686
Samurai had entire trechnique dedicated to it, so did Cossacks. Also Norsemen sometimes dualwielded axe and sword.
>>69282686
>It's true though, it gives you literally no advantage whatsoever and there is so record of it ever being used in combat anywhere.
Yeah, no.dual wielding weapons did happen.
Dual wielding two long swords however is totally retarded and was never used as a technique in Europe.
>>69282423
DABID actually did good here
did they finally do tower of joy? haven't watched last season or these episodes
>>69282633
>>69282876
Yeah but it ends after Howland stabs Dayne in the neck.
A couple of lines of dialogue form the book but the fight was retarded and they left out some characters.
>>69282876
yeah but they cucked us all and cut it off as Ned ran into the tower
>>69282703
yeah but the stark sword is an enormous execution sword, besides, ned wasnt the eldest son, so why would he have it?
>>69282686
theres heaps of historical record of using a smaller weapon in the offhand in duels etc
parrying daggers and the like are real weapons, and some chinese martial arts revolve around specifically using 2 weapons.
In straight war though? You're correct, pretty much everyone just used polearms with the occasional warhammer/sword/mace/axe
What was the point of Sam the cuck getting like 5 minutes of screen time? Filler?
Why did bastard tree albino decide to point out only howland reed? Why not also mention jorys father?
>>69283185
it's almost like the show has completely gone to shit and DnD don't know how to write
>>69283203
It's basically bad fan fiction at this point.
>>69283011
>knowing history is fedora worthy
revel in ignorance, dumb shitposter
>>69283179
Just to remind us he still exists and doesn't even know about what's happening with Jon I guess. They might also skip showing a scene dropping her and the kid off, or might just have a few seconds of it, so this lays the groundwork for that.
>>69275876
who is that guy? looks like jaimie
>>69283346
the father of these two
>inb4 who are they
>>69283242
>history
>it's a painting of game of thrones
Fucking kill yourself, faggot.
>>69282534
aaaahhh found it
Would've liked to see young Ned with Ice and Arthur Dayne with Dawn. But D&D forgot about Ice and they think dual wielding swords is cool as fuck! Seriously, Ramsay, the Fookin' Legend of Gin Alley, now Arthur Dayne? I'm fucking sick dude swinging around two blades being a badass.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJBEDxh0RQw
>>69279095
Literally wrong. Robert's got bastards all over the country with different last names. Alayne Stone, for example. If it was heritage that gave them their last names, she'd be Alayne Storm.
>>69277499
The scene was based before Ice got melted down, you dumb cunt.
>>69282686
Might wanna bone up on history more if you're gonna major in it
>>69283588
Using European armour.
>>69280302
the whole point of the books is that even the hypest character can die like a bitch
>>69284277
I think you mean Mya Stone in the Vale.
Alayne Stone is Sansa's alias
>still no Robert in his prime flashbacks.
Shit show.
>>69276833
>>>69276107
>shouldn't Ed have his great sword too?
no he wasent lord of winterfell at that time
>>69283185
Because Howland actually did something relevant in the fight and is the father of a character still getting screen time.
You have to understand that they're writing for plebs. My girlfriend didn't even know who Rickon was and had to have me explain him and Osha despite the fact that she's watched every episode with me. Itd be nice for them to have mentioned Cassel and Hightower, but realistically it would only confuse the majority of watchers
>>69285482
hightower was mentioned though lmao
>>69285092
Ned's father and elder brother were killed before the war started, he was lord since then. This is at the end of the war.
>>69285619
Later on in a different context. Not at the Tower
>>69281653
Blood Raven would only be about 125 in the books. The Targaryans hadn't even left Valyria 1000 years ago. It would still have been 600 years until the Doom.
>>69282423
Holy fucking crap this is a good post. Mind if I screenshot it and post it to /r/gameofthrones? I bet they'd love it.
Was is the same choreographer from TDKR?
when is poise going to be implemented?
>>69283731
lindy pls leave
