>>71807684
He will draw Lightbringer from the flames, be absolutely terrified his sword is on fire and chucks it to Jon. History will think Jon was Azor Ahai, but unknowingly it was Sandor
>>71807684
he kills a fucking dragon
dude, he's dead
you're watching bran's dream of the day
They killed Jon for no reason, D&D have no idea what theyre doing.
>>71807684
>the character didn't get his head chopped off or some other kind of obvious mortal wound
>obviously he is going to come back from the dead
I'm so done with got man
>>71807684
Sandor, Davos and Sam are the ultimate sleeperhero's of the series.
I've considered that Sandor could be the ultimate wild card of the series as in he could end up killing Jon for Sansa, or End up killing Arya etc etc
We've followed Davos for apparently no reason for 5 years now, and Sam to be relevant will need to be be more important than just "le knowlege man". for a justifyable character arch.
>>71807684
I would've agreed before watching the last episode of the latest season, but after the wildfire killing off plots and characters without giving them any resolution, it's become crystal clear that characters don't matter to DnD.
To them, "realism" is more important than narrative. In real life characters doesn't have plot armor and can die at any point, there are no plots or character arcs, real life is absurd, therefore it's ok to write a tv show with no regard for characters or plot, because it imitates life.
>>71807684

Have we started it?
>>71808171

>>71807684
He will kill the Night King.
>>71807946
What if he throws it at Jon and kills him, killing his pizza Nissan and creating lightening 2.0
>>71808135
>implying this is an issue
Seriously who gave a fuck about these characters anyway?
>>71808314
There is this principle when writing stories, you may already be familiar with it, that there should be no unnecessary parts in the story, because the audience has limited attention to give.
>>71807684
he's going to become a paladin of the seven.
>>71808054
Thats in the books. Good bait
>>71808135
i agree but those were characters who had been around for a while and had political purpose for KL story and Cersei
They literally just brought back Hound for a reason so hes got at least a season of plot armor and isnt there for anyone's purpose other than maybe Mountain but hes a fuck zombie whos overdue death anyway
He's gonna eat every fucking chicken in Westeros.
>>71807684
>>71807684
>thinking D&D have any sort of logical thought out plan or writing skill
>>71808510
Cept in the books his death will serve some purpose dummy.
>>71807684
Remember when they brought back Osha after all that time WITH the true Stark heir.
Remember how long that lasted.
>>71808135
>>71808650
it doesnt matter how bad they butcher it, they have to follow Grrms outline, and he sure as hell had an arc for Sandor worked out long ago
>>71808731
Stay mad kid.
>>71808748
>they have to follow Grrms outline
No they don't. They have masters in writing.

Use your brain. She was a side side character whos purpose was to keep a small boy alive who wouldve died in the wilderness. It was clear that when his character wasnt going anywhere, she was done. Plus no one gives a fuck about her.
Sandor is a main character. he has other characters for the sake of his story, not the other way around
> Theres a purpose for Sandor Clegane
Rewatch the show and tell me if shit like that has no meaning moving forward, senpai
The fire phobia will be key. He'll sacrifice himself by igniting a fire trap that slows the Walkers or something to that effect.
That, or he'll survive and start a wildly-successful contract killer business with Arya.
>dragons breathe fire
>Hound fears fire
>Hound is getting over his fear of fire
The Hound is going to kill at least one dragon
>>71807684
Anon it's not called FUCKING CONFIRMED for jokes
>>71808731
So the only actual comment in this thread that more or less tries to talk about the intricacies of the writing of the show from what we see onscreen is understood as a sign of autism.
>INB4 you're autistic too haha
Being intelligent and/or articulate is not the same as being autistic, no matter how many episodes of TBBT you gurgle down that cock-mongler gob of yours.
>>71808099
> kill Sansa
Sandor would never harm his waifu.

>>71808693
They did this to the Blackfish and Benjen too. There is no hope.
>>71808967
Would be more potterific if he actually got to ride one. Now THAT would be rad.
>>71809183
now this is autism, and im a different poster
>>71809370
No. This is podracing.
>>71809240
All of these characters are "who?" characters for casuals, which are most viewers.
The Hound is ultrameme status and very popular/deep
>>71808547
Cersei is on Arya's list. She can't get to him without going through the Mountain.
FUCKING CONFIRMED
>>71807684
>viewers like the hound
>viewers like arya
>hound is on arya's list
How will they handle this? Arya should not forgive the hound for the butchers boys murder.
>>71809491
Hound isn't on Arya's list anymore.
She changed her mind supposedly.
Check the wiki if you have doubts and since I am bored to send links.
>Hound is going to BwB hideout
>Melly is going south, has to go through BwB territory, followers of the lord of light
>Melly gonna meet Hound
>She needs someone to protect her
>They both get to King's Landing
>They see what happened there, Hound meets Mountain
>Fucking Confirmed
>>71808672
You mean other than allowing jon to honorably leave the nights watch?
GET HYPE
again
>show hound gets pulled back in for bullshit since they needed filler
>book hound died a long time ago, now a man with a burned face tries to find peace as a monk
>>71809624
probably what will happen with him fighting mountain in the red keep as it burns to the ground around them
>>71809921
Jon didn't honorably leave the night's watch.
>but muh death
he ain't dead enough mate..
>>71808099
>Davos for apparently no reason for 5 years
He exists in the book to be eyes on Stannis, everything else is after thought.
Hound's return felt like a promising start for a some kind of western but I really doubt he's going to add much to the series apart from pandering to the audience who liked the character
>>71809624
HOLY SHIT
what if Hound is azor ahai, falls in love with Melly, pulls flaming sword from her chest and kills Night King
>>71810381
But he was dead. They way his vow was worded allowed him to leave.
>>71808099
Sansa is Sandor's waifu and Arya is his daughterfu, you fool.
>>71810577
he´s not a targrayen
>>71810481
Wouldn't need to have eyes on Stannis if you just followed Stannis then.
>>71809488
I'd be super down with Arya decapitating the Mountain and beating Cersei to death with his head.
He will meet melisandre and become "one of them..."
>>71810956
Dont matter.
> Salt and smoke. Tears as he was betrayed and almost killed by his older brother
> has to fight mountain in a trial by combat against Cersei.
> gets one of the Valerian swords made by Tywin?
> kills Mountain, and effectively Cercei (trial) killing the lion.
> pulls flaming sword from his brother's chest
You know Cerseis gonna set up some crazy fire shit to fuck with Sandor. He'll own it and overcome his fear
Azor Sandor, reluctant hero
>>71807684
he will be the religious leader under the rule of Dany
>>71810794
The vow was written with the intention that people who join the night's watch stay there until the end of their lives. Jon just wanted to take the easy route out and nobody wanted to stop him.
>>71811410
Technicalities are a fairly prevalent trope of mythology and fantasy. Think about genies and the whole thing of needing to word your wishes very carefully. Or The Monkey's Paw.
>>71807684
He will be Sansa's husband
>OP thinks the hound is going to be chopping down some whitewalkers
>>71811792
he will
>>71810973
There isn't any king POVs.

He has joined up with a fire priest, too. Maybe Melly was a red herring.

>Jon just wanted to take the easy route out
thats literally his character. every time responsibility or duty calls, he finds a way to run off. he ran away from his birthright and home to be a nights watch guy and he ran from lord commander because the politics got too crazy.
>>71812312
>he ran away from his birthright and home to be a nights watch guy
Bastards literally don't have birthrights m8.
>>71809410
This death was so easy to call, because it made so much sense and he was closest of being a competent, empathic leader in the party of sociopaths.
>>71812701
being a bastard doesn't really matter when you are a targ
Hes going North to help Jon and cuck CIA with his Big Hound Cock deep in Sansas cunt.
Only obvious thing I can think of is that him and cersei are the only people living to know about Littlefingers betrayal of Ned and since Clegane is heading north and has a thing for Sansa
I think he is going to rat on Bealish and pretty much be the nail in his self made coffin of schemes
>>71808099
Thats dumb. You're dumb. Stop being dumb. The tag Theon fits you.
>>71807684
Did Arya show him her tits before she thought he was gonna die? I would if I were her.
>>71811226
>grasping at straws the post
>>71808693
Didn't they kill her off because the actress was pregnant?

Arya and Sandor are pretty damn close geographically at the moment and their team up was pretty popular. Arya is obviously going to kill the Red Woman and Sandor will probably head North. The reunion is obvious, after they kill the Red Woman Sandor will probably go north with her to meet up with Rob/Sansa.
Probably meet Broiann while they are at it.
Rob be like 'no way dis dude be a asshat' and Salasa and Arry be like "nah bro he cool now" and broianna be like "yo this guy can wreak face an take a hit" and Robby be like "what you say bro?" and Sandor be like "fuck The King, fuck da Lanisters and fuck fire bitches" and robby be like "yo you can ride with us git dis guy some chicken"
>Ian Mcshane killed off in the episode his character is introduced
How low has this actor fallen?
>>71819007
He costs too much genius.
SANDOR IS AZOR AHAI

>>71810481
Davos is his own fully realized character arc in the books and he's only with Stannis half the time. He's not like Areo Cameraguy.
>>71819007
>Ian Mcshane had a prominent speaking role as a guest star on the current most popular TV series
yeah his career is really in the toilet.
>>71819007
When I first downloaded the episode I thought it was a scam one and I'd downloaded another TV series desu
