They just have killed 90% of characters in Kings Landing. We had been watching these characters for 5 seasons and they all are wasted now. Margery, Loras, Kivan, Mace, High Sparrow, Lancele, Tommen, Pycell. Their actions, plotting and schemes went nothere. How does it feel, /tv/?

That's ultimately the problem with GoT/ASoIaF. In the end, you can always rest assured that most characters will die meaningless deaths with their plans unfinished. Which is realistic, I suppose, but sometimes realism is more of an enemy than a friend to fiction.

Honestly, it feels like real life. Death is the ultimate way of tying up a loose-end. Everyone makes plans, and death interrupts that. Some might find it irksome, and it is, because you'll always wonder "what if" for all those plot lines that get hastily cut short, but that's part of what I enjoy about Game of Throne... everyone has these grand schemes, and that doesn't guarantee them the payoff they're expecting.

Yes I agree. On the one hand I do understand why people think it seems cheap but on the other hand you're right, you have to sort of invest in characters who will die.

I was under the impression her scheme was basically to play nice with the High Sparrow to get Loras off the hook after fucking Cersei over at the trial.

how would dany create a dynasty without being able to have children? who would be next in the line of succession?
>>
>>71363227

She's not unable to have them, she just promised she wouldn't. But she hasn't met her nephew yet, so she doesn't even know she wants Jon's babies. But she totally wants them.
>>
>>71362649
Her scheming got her killed by Cersei. My view is not look at things in a vacuum; Margaery feigned loyalty to Cersei's enemies and played a major role in convincing Tommen to de-facto sentence his mother to death. She allied herself against Cersei and ultimately lost. It's like saying Robb's plotline just got cutoff at the Red Wedding; both instances are the result of the character decisions and interactions with other characters.
>>
>>71362428
pleb
>>
>>71359772

which story felt unfinished to you? 'Kivan', Mace, Pycelle and Lancel were just hanging around with no real purpose. High Sparrow has reached his goal, that being controlling the Crown. Tommen's purpose was being a shitty, weak king, something he did splendidly. Loras literally had NO PURPOSE besides forcing Margeary to pretend to be saint infront of HS. And Margeary's purpose was to ignite jealousy and hatred in Cersei and to become Queen, both of which she did.

The only person of that lot that had anything else to do was HS, which would be taking more direct control of the Kingdom, maybe even getting rid of monarchy altogether, but his plans have abruptly ended, just the same like Robb's plans to become King iin the North or Stannis' plans to sit on Iron Throne.

A bunch of religious zealots gained more power than the crown and arrested Cersei, Margaery and Loras, they shamed Cersei by having her walk through King's Landing nude, and as a result, during the trial of Loras, she had the secret cache of wildfire the Mad King had stashed underneath the city explode and destroy the Great Sept.

I don't get this at all. Tommen just saw the sept get fucking nuked. Not only was it the bedrock of his newly kindled faith and the cornerstone of his legitimacy, but also contained his wife. All that shit was wiped out in an instant by his own mother. Not to mention he probably feels some twang of responsibility by outlawing trial by combat and forcing her to do it.

Yup. They've already shown multiple times that they can't/won't keep up with the number of characters that the book does, even characters with dialogue and sometimes whole POV chapters (Ser Arys Oakheart). Many subplots removed in favor of [farts] and sneks. Asha/Yara didn't have the sway that she does on TV, though it's possible she might show up in Essos in Winds of Winter. Sand sneks were loyal in the books, not psycho cunts who undo all of Lord Martell's plans (which are nonexistent on TV).

The plot has barely moved for 3 seasons. I mean think about it; what is the main plot of GoT? Is it the icefaggots? Is it dany getting the iron throne?
I'm pretty sure that those are meant to be the main plot points and are eventually supposed to converge. Instead there's all this drama in kings landing that eventually leads nowhere. Or the stupid Bolton side story about retaking the north.

I guess I'm trying to say that I'm glad the finale finally fucking moved the main plots along for the first time in many seasons

I don't think so. It's like characters can't ever accomplish anything besides death, all of their arcs is basically dying while Arya accomplishes something, Sansa as well, John too. And minor characters will always end up having a death just to entertain the spectator and saving the plot which is uninteresting by now (you have Ned's and Oberyn's arcs beautifully done and you have that sense of feeling, that they couldn't accomplish what they were trying due to their deaths).

The problem with GURMs forced "realism" meme is that reality is boring. In reality nothing would happen. Not even all these plots and murders would happen like they do in the show and books because most of the time everything just fizzles out and the status quo prevails. There's been so much turmoil in Westeros that, again realistically, the entire continent should be erupting in fire.

Every major claimant to any power anywhere are all gone. Replaced by cousins, wives, bastards, people 10th in line, anyone of consequence got killed off. If you go by history that's the darkest chapter because there's zero stability at that point.

Realistically we'd spend more time talking about who's going to supply grain shipments because the markets are fucked.

GURM can't even stick to his guns on the realism meme either, since he's forced the comic book resurrection into the plot and it's becoming obvious he's only got a handful of players left to do an ending with, giving them increasing amounts of plot armor unless he does something retarded like end it with "it was all a dream" or "everyone died, except Tyrion because he wasn't present and now he gets to rule, except everyone is dead from dragon fire so he rules nobody and sits alone on the iron throne the end" *cue Twilight Zone theme*
>>
Thoroughly develop King's Landing plot through the entire season, promising a nice scheme between the High Sparrow, Smirkfu, Tommen and Cersei.

Nah just kidding, kill them all. Oh and btw Varys work for Dorne and now Dorne is with Daenerys. See you next year guys.
>>
>>71369878
Probably because those deaths happened in the books and therefore were well written whereas the deaths these last two seasons (aside from Jon's) were just from whatever outline or cliff notes Gurm gave the shit-tier show writers to work off
>>
>>71359772
It went somewhere. Cersei's now truly fucked the Lannister's hold on King's Landing and the 7 kingdoms.

>Dorne and Highgarden are in support of Dany now
>Jaime is going to choke a bitch

>She'll become the mad queen and fuck things even more next season.

It's pretty silly considering there's 0 tension surrounding anything that's not the white walkers. Are we honestly supposed to believe for a second that the lannisters can stand against both the north/vale and to the south the combined might of the reach (the house with by far the largest army)/dorne/a massive dothraki horde made up of every dothraki horde/the unsullied/3 dragons? Even if Cercei was as smart as she thinks she is she has a dwindling lannister army. The ONLY way I could see this shit going anywhere is if euron allies himself with cercei and becomes king and even then there's absolutely no reason to think they could stand against anybody.

>Read a god damn history book

Your examples are literally what I'm talking about. Did you just see those events mentioned on a wikipedia as what inspired GRRM?

Not to mention that, again, the plot of the show is far worse than any of those events in terms of the toll on the power structure.

You had less death and turmoil in any of them in real life, and yet the practical consequences were far greater.

The pseudo-realism is just bad storytelling. "It's just reality maaan" is the defense of someone too stupid to see the cut plot threads as anything other than deus ex machina writing and quick ways to tie together loose strings.

If this wasn't GoT you would be giving the show and books shit for being sloppy.
>>
>>71371439
This. King's Landing is probably in anarchy outside of the Red Keep, the people hate their queen, no more wildfire, etc... There's nothing to prevent pretty much anyone from going in and conquering it, hell even Euron could probably conquer it singlehandedly right now if he wanted.
>>
>>71371319
The French Revolution was 10 years. The wars over that 10 years were broken up into periods. During this time, shit got so out of hand, that eventually the status quo did prevail (first in the directory and then in Napoleon). France went back to the conservative liberalism in the end. And the worst parts of the French Revolution lasted what 2 years? 1792-1794 culminating with the death of the Robspierre, Saint-Juste, etc.

100 year's war was a series of intermittent wars fought between 2 kingdoms over a few generations. It was not an upheaval of state or a period of anarchy.

Thirty Years War is the only one out of all you listed that really analogous to what's going on in ASOIF (you should have mentioned the War of the Roses, which led to a descendent of a bastard with a tenuous claim to the throne becoming king. So tenuous, that he had to suppress dissent for most of his reign).

Basically just confirming what i've thought for the past 2 seasons now.

They're retards.

She won't get away with it. The prophecy said she would be queen but would be struck down by a younger and prettier one, who just happens to be sailing across the sea with an army.

That's because we are moving away from the Game of thrones now and into the Song of Ice and Fire. The fight for the throne is nearly over. The fight for survival begins. Can't have both happening simultaneously.

none of those characters were particularly interesting anyway.

the only good characters left are:

the hound
old lady tyrell

everyone that used to be great has either been neutered or their shtick has worn thin.

>>71360134
yeah pretty much this. the series devolved into shock moments that are only shocking because they had no development since people don't have attention spans anyway.
>>
>>71371319

Go look up the machinations and plots of late antiquity from about 300 AD-800AD in Rome, Byzantium, Persia, and the Caliphate.

Its constant murder, coupe, incest, invasion, banishment, uprisings, civil wars etc. etc.

Im not even kidding. things like putting out the popes eyes, murdering your own father, enslaving whole cities.

its worse than GOT
>>
>>71371173
>Every major claimant to any power anywhere are all gone
The books aren't the show.

Tommen and Myrcella are still alive in the books (though they'll die eventually), the only Starks dead are Ned and Robb, Stannis and his daughter are alive, the Roose is still loose, Walder Frey is alive, Doran Martell and his daughter are alive, and the Tyrells are all still alive.

In the books, the North and the River Lands are the only regions that have lost their major claimants, and that's only because control of them has been usurped and the true claimants are either incarcerated or presumed dead.
>>
>>71371459
but you are actually wrong.

The thirty years war wiped out 1/3 of the population of central Europe, the french revolution was an ongoing train wreck that went on and on and on and then Napoleon and then fucking more revolutions.
>>
>>71360026
Underrated

>>71359772

This is most likely going to happen in the book as well so why get mad? Cersei has already been shown to be obsessed with fire when she burned down the Tower of the Hand

If the explosion was in the books everyone here would be praising the fuck out of how well the show pulled it off. People feel as though D&D are somehow cuttings things short when the entire fucking time was to build up Cersei's madness. The only character that maybe should not have died in the sept would have been Margerey.

>>
>>71360022
>>71359922
holy shit
>>
>>71372803
you can bring the hound back for plenty of reasons besides fighting his brother, like for his relationship to Sansa, Arya or Brienne
>>
>>71373042
yeah but it's not like the show has been, nor has enough time left, to explore complex relationships between characters

i honestly think they bought back the hound to the capacity that did in the show for the pure reason of setting up and fulfilling the fanwanked favorite theory of cleganebowl
>>
>>71373097
why would he fight him at this point anyways though? The Sept blew up. Trial by combat is outlawed. Though probably barely anyone has heard that by now and with the King and High Septon dead it will probably be disregarded. Maybe even interpreted as divine punishment that the gods are unhappy it was outlawed.

Anyways, they'd have to really contrive it at this point. I don't see Cersei leaving KL soon, why would the Hound go there?

He'll probably be partly used to bring Arya's character back to humanity instead of going on a murder spree until she dies.
>>
>>71373228
>>71373228
>why would he fight him at this point anyways though?

I dunno anon. Keep in mind Im not arguing for cleganbowl or trying to theorize how it'll happen. I just think at this point, D&D don't have a lot to do with the hound. It seems to me, with 14 episodes left, the best reason to bring him back is to satisfy fans with cleganbowl, even if it is contrived.
>>
>>71373271
yeah I wouldn't mind it myself. a lot will be happening in the end run anyways
>>
>>71373228
The Hound fucking hates his brother. Hates him to the point that his hate is the only thing that keeps him going. You ask why he would fight him? Why wouldn't he fight him?
>>
>>71371001
>A Song of Ice and Fire is told through the eyes of characters who are sometimes hundreds or even thousands of miles apart from one another. Some chapters cover a day, some only an hour; others might span a fortnight, a month, half a year. With such a structure, the narrative cannot be strictly sequential; sometimes important things are happening simultaneously, a thousand leagues apart.

GRRM in A Storm of Swords. They're time-skipping between scene transitions and the audience is supposed to just keep up with the pace, I guess. I'm not defending the practice, but that's the cover they're using.

The show turned shit the moment the directors started tomake the please the audience. Ressurecting jon snow( that could happen), reviving le North remember meme and turning arya into a badass assasin to kill Frey). Dany got an army because yes. Its not a epic fantasy now. Its the fans wet dreams becoming true

It's a moralistic theme. These schemers and plotters all thought that they were so fucking smart and better then people like Ned because they didn't bother with having integrity and where did it get them? Dead. Little finger and varys both live shit manipulative meaningless lives where no one respects or loves them. The Lannister house is in tatters as are all of the other great houses like the boltons that thought they were too good for common decency.

Meanwhile, guess who's coming back? Starks, Dany, Davos, Tyrion. Being a good person always pays off in the end regardless of what edgy Nietzsche fags think. Morality does matter.

It's playing out in real life too. The corrupt soulless EU has been BTFO with Brexit. Sanders is a legitimately good person who has changed the face of the Democratic Party and people are starting to turn their backs on the cancer that is liberalism.

And how do you differentiate this "realistic" feeling from plain bad, lazy writing? Fom a writer who doesn't know what the hell to do with his plots and characters, so decides to solve things by just killing them off? How do you distinguish them? You might as well praise the realism of a book that literally ends mid-sentence in the middle of its plot, because "people die".
