I literally dropped the show after Dayne dual wielded and Bloodraven said he was thousands of years old, but heard from my friends that smalljon turns in rickon and osha with shaggydog's head

is there any chance he avoided kneeling and making oaths because its all a RUSE? grand northern conspiracy and all that gay shit? and he had to use the real rickon because someone from the castle might recognize a fake?

either way, glad im done with the show, but i'll come here to get answers as to what happened in the show.

>>
I don't care who he is or what his motivations are. They went full retard with the story since last season. I only watch this to have a laugh at this point. That being said, it would be cool to see him betray Ramsay in a big tweest, but writing such a character requires actual talent.
>>
>>69328735

Of course its a ruse. Notice how the wolf head is way too small to be Shaggydog. But Ramsay has never seen a direwolf in person so he wouldnt know.
>>
>>69328735
Not a chance in hell, you're overestimating D&D's capacity to write. Leaks have already told us this would happen, and the same leaks suggested that the Umbers stay loyal to Ramsey in the EBIN FINAL FIGHT OF THE SEASON BETWEEN JON AND RAMSEY

Did you miss the part where he said "fuck kneeling and fuck oaths"? There's no loyalty there. Rickon and Osha are for the Boltons forces to help with the wildlings.

Personally I'm appeased they're at least addressing the fact that the north is going to shit and just being ran by a bunch of edgy, backstabbing barbarians.

>>69328956
>Rickon and Osha are for the Boltons forces to help with the wildlings.

Fine, but if he obviously doesn't trust the Boltons why would he just straight up give them his only leverage before getting what he wants? He should have just shown them Rickon and said Ramsay can have him after he helps with repelling the wildlings.

That is what a real person would have fucking done.
>>

Yeah but why give Rickon away? Ramsay will be fighting Jon and the wildlings anyway. Is Ramsay turning away extra men?

>>69329122
I'm fairly sure the Umbers are setting Ramsay up. Their motivation is just too thin otherwise.
>>
>>69329001
>>69329004
I'd assume because he had to show proof that it was Rickon by bringing him to Winterfell, where some people there would recognize him. Also, Ramsay seems to be okay with people who do good for him, and I don't think leverage like that would work in this case. Mr. Gary Stu would probably send his armies against the Umbers and just take Rickon because he would be pissed. Better to gain an ally with an important gift than gain an enemy who is a psychotic, vengeful, selfish shit.

Though it would have been smarter to at least send an emissary.

> Someone has a different plan than what I would do

Pretty much this. The books made the Umbers and most northern houses to be fiercely loyal. If they pull this kind of shit just to give Jon a reason to fight Ramsay in the finale its just really fucking lazy and complete shit.
>>
>>69329142
When I'm right, and the leaks prove true, and the Umbers stay true to Ramsey, will you fucking kill yourself then you apologist?
>>
Actually I think there is a good chance he's pulling a ruse on Ramsay. I think he's going to take over Manderly's role in the books. There's several parallels you can make already from what we've seen.

>Has an introduction that makes you think he's allied with the Boltons
>Presents the Boltons (Frey's in the book) with a disfigured, unrecognizable head as proof of his allegiance
>Would be in a position to betray the Boltons from the inside should Jon attack Winterfell.

The dialogue also explicitly notes his family has been loyal to the Starks, and the guy weasels his way out of swearing an oath to Ramsay.
>>
>>69329195
It's completely illogical and makes no sense in the context of the character, whose house is even acknowledged as 'extremely loyal' in that scene. You need to stop apologizing for this trainwreck of a show.

I'm just saying that it's not a "no chance in hell" theory. We'll see, I wouldn't be surprised either way

>>
>>69330097
Because d&d are hacks. Yes there is no actual logic in handing over rickon to ramsay if the Umbers are trying to help the starks, but d&d do it for A. shock value (poor shota is gonna get flayed oh noes) and B. plot device (motivation for jon to attack winterfell).

Thanks, though I wish you didn't tell me their show counterparts, because I'm crying now.

Too bad, I think Tyene would have been more interesting on the council, but who knows? Maybe Lady Nym will be good too. I mean, it makes more sense for Tyene to be in the Faith, seeing as she's seen as pious and innocent, but I think that would have been fun on the council too.

I truly don't understand why the two swords thing is triggering you faggots so hard. The show is ridiculous fantasy and there's nothing wrong with that. Did you watch Star Wars and yell at the screen "BULLSHIT THERE'S NO SOUND IN SPACE WHY ARE THE SHIPS FLYING AERODYNAMICALLY FAKE AND GAY"

Magic existing doesn't mean that suddenly every single law of the universe stops having any relevance.

That aside, the bigger complaint about Dayne isn't just that dual-wielding is dumb but that he's most famous for having the sword Dawn. His entire house is sort of built around that one sword. Giving a guy two swords when his entire legacy revolves around a specific sword is stupid.

Its not a fucking historical text. Its a work of fiction being reinterpreted for screen. Read Heart of Darkness and tell me how similar it is to Apocalypse Now. Is Apocalypse Now a shitty movie because they changed things from the book?

No, in fact, it doesn't. It really doesn't.

The point of it is that Arthur Dayne is memorable for two reasons. The first is being the greatest swordsman of his time. The second is being Sword of the Morning, wielder of Dawn.

Adaptations change from the original. This is fine. There have been good changes in the show. For example, the Varys and Littlefinger scenes. Cersei and Bobby's heart to heart. Roose being less of an obvious cartoon villain.

But taking an iconic character and removing what made him iconic is not a good change. Imagine if Tyrion wasn't a dwarf. Imagine if Viserys was sane and rational. Imagine if Dany hatched mammoth eggs instead of dragons.

Change is fine. Sometimes changes are good. Sometimes changes are shit. In this instance it's shit.

>his sword wasn't featured heavily enough in the dialogue

How much of this back story about the sword and the house and the Sword of the Morning title was internal dialogue? How much of it could have been wedged into the spoken dialogue on the show?

You have to consider it from the perspective of the writers. They have to cut things, and some things will just require to much set up to cram in, like the whole backstory of that character and his house and his title and his sword, and in the end it won't matter much in to the story. I know in the book its this revered sword but in a show full of swords its just another fucking sword unless you explain all of that, and you just can't spend that much time on it at the expense of the rest of the story.

Its almost like some of you have never done any creative writing in your entire lives. Could that be a possibility?

They didn't have to cut anything. Just give him the damn sword that gave his house relevance. The tradition of the house is so well known and respected that Ned delivered the sword to Dayne's sister after he died. They didn't need to include that in the show but they just had him duel wield because they thought it looked cool
>>

>>69332040
Nigger you don't need in-depth exposition to relay all the information. All you need to do is give the guy who is famous for using one specific sword that one specific sword, rather than making him dual-wielding because that's what's cool right now. It's not about making everyone understand every tiny detail of the lore, it's about respecting the source material on a basic level. This is a very simple concept and I do not understand how you've failing so hard to grasp it.

They completely changed the pysical setting, era, characters origins, nearly everything that could be changed was changed between Heart of Darkness and Apocalypse Now. None of it was practical at all. They made the changes to make it more relevant to the audience.

So, is Apocalypse Now a shit movie because its not true to the book?

If you can do all of that right now, in a paragraph that I could read out loud in about 15 seconds that wouldn't sound forced and awkward if jammed into that scene then fine. The problem is that you can't. You would end up with the characters saying shit out loud that, realistically, they would all already know.

Ned: Hello Sir Dayne! I see you have brought your awesome sword with you, which is called Dawn! Which you carry because you are the Sword of the Morning, an honorary title within your house of great significance!

Thats horrible, but it can be achieved more elegantly and realistically with a knowing nod between the actors.

What? It was bullshit anon. They just showed up to do awesome Elf fighting and all conveniently get killed. It takes away from how much of a desperate situation the men were in

>>69332231
>>just give him the sword, and emphasize the relevance of the sword to his house, and I guess also explain a bunch of shit about his house too and who he is beyond "good fighter"

Again, you're missing the point. They don't need to explain everything regarding the sword, all they have to do is have him use it. That's it. That's all. They don't need to explain the entire history of Dawn and house Dayne, they just shouldn't change it all for no reason either.
>>
>>69332231

Ramsay: Lord Umber, I'm Bolton. Uh, you don't get to bring friends.
Osha: He's not my friend.
Smalljon: She wasn't alone.
Ramsay: And why would I want them?
Smalljon: We were trying to grab your prize... She works for the boy. The last heir of Winterfell.
Ramsay: Rickon? I'll call it in.

>assuming that the second sword is not part of the story

You are all forgetting that the version of these events in the books were from Ned's recollection while high on dope. Maybe the whole point of the scene is that Bran is seeing that his dad left some stuff out and lied about some other stuff. The whole show they have built Ned up as a paragon of virtue, and now they are showing that he wasn't always that way and even lied to his children at times to cover up his own regrets and mistakes. The second sword could have relevance in this way.

>>
>>69332384
OK honestly that's not bad I'll give you that, but it wouldn't fit young Ned's character. He doesn't speak in high flowery language even as an old lord, so he wouldn't as a young swinging dick either.

THIS WAS NOT THE SCENE FROM THE BOOK. THE SCENE FROM THE BOOK WAS FROM THE POV OF AN OLD MAN TRIPPING ON COUGH SYRUP. THIS IS FROM THE POV OF A TIME TRAVELING CRIPPLE. THEY DON'T HAVE TO LINE UP PERFECTLY. IN FACT, THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THOSE TWO RECOLLECTIONS MAY BE A KEY ELEMENT OF THE STORY

I'll make one final effort.
The reason the comparison is so fucking retarded is due to conflating willing suspension of disbelief with internal consistency.

Willing suspension of disbelief is where you accept a deviation of reality because the setting has it as the norm.
For example, ASOIAF has magic, undead beings, dragons, etc. They're part of the world, so we don't need an in depth explanation as to how they would fit in ours.

Internal consistency is different.
Internal consistency is making sure willing suspension of disbelief doesn't shatter due to pulling things out your ass.
For example, if you establish white walkers are only vulnerable to Dragonglass or Valyian steel, you can't randomly shiv them with a normal knife without an explanation.
Similarly, if you don't make it clear gravity works any differently, you can't just jump off a cliff and yell WELL THERE ARE DRAGONS, AREN'T THERE?!? As justification to surviving

Likewise, when people act like colossal retards in fights, you can't just yell DRAGONS LMAO THAT MEANS THEY CAN DO ANYTHING. That goes nowhere to explaining how sword fights are sufficiently different In this world to justify acting like that.

So far this season has been outstanding. Not sure if it's just because I'm now flying by the seat of my pants like a filthy non-book reader pleb but god damn these three episodes have been great.
>>
>>69332505
At which point in the show did they establish anything that was contradicted by the scene with Dayne?

There are plenty of things to critisize the show for. They should have hired better fight choreographers would be my top critique. But complaining about MINOR deviations from the book POV of one character which itself may or may not have been internally accurate is just stupid.

>>
>>69332534
screencap this so next week you can feel stupid when they do exactly this.

Bran: My father told me of Dawn, but he never mentioned this other sword. Where is he taking it?

And then Bran learns something new about his fathers beginnings that Ned was never going to tell him because of some shame or regret that he carried until the end.

fucking cap it.

The other sword belongs to another character that Dayne either received the sword from as a gift or took from someone after a victory, and it has significance and you all got trolled by D&D for being book fags and thinking that Ned's acid trips are canon, just like Bran thought his fathers stories were 100% accurate until he grew up and learned that even virtuous people like Ned can lie to their children because of shame and regret.

Because it being ridiculous is a thing based on how he then interacted with the people he was fighting, not because it was supernatural, as your retarded comparison would have people believe.

I don't give a fuck how many dragons exist, he could have had a Wight sitting on his shoulder for all I care, that scene will still be ridiculous due to being a flail-fest that relied on nobody stabbing him in the back until it was convenient.

I didn't criticize it for being supernatural. Nothing happened that was supernatural. I mentioned the supernatural stuff earlier just as an inb4 for the historical fencing faggots that I assumed would show up soon to tell me why it wasn't realistic.

My gripe here is that people are assuming that Ned's hallucinogenic dreams are canon, and are a complete telling of the events. Read it again, its not. Bran is learning the truth of what happened, as opposed to the stories that his dad told about the rebellion. History is a lie written by the winners, and that is what they are going to illustrate.

Another retarded thing is, why did Ramsay allow Smalljon to talk to him like that? So far Ramsay has been shown as a complete psycho who puts his cruelty and bloodlust above rationality and political gain.

And yet he just sat there and allowed The Umber to talk shit and even to openly deny his lie that Roose was poisoned, instead of having him flayed.

In front of other people, too (the Karstark).
>>
>>69333210
but look at that fucking guy in OP's pic. I think Ramsey probably knew he wasn't the one to fuck with, and he further asserted this fact by talking to him like he's a punk. He's not afraid of Ramsey, and Ramsey knows this. Pushing that combat experienced mountain man around is not the same as bullying his father's serfs.
>>
>>69333210

Roose's last speech to Ramsay was about not being a mad dog and the need to make allies in the north, he probably took some of that on board before stabbing Roose in the heart

Man, I fucking hope so. The deaths of the first two wolves legitimately soured my mood for a good while after watching, but OK I guess they were in the books so whatever. Any more and it just comes off as the show writers being lazy, edgy fucks.

He will betray Bolton. Now we got a stark again in winterfell. He haven't sworn his sword to Bolton because they are still with the stark family. Everything a plan to get winterfell back
>>
We never see the fight in the books. For all we know, Dayne did use two swords. He clearly also has Dawn in the show, and they wanted him to be able to fight 5 guys at once. Giving him a sword in each hand is a good way to do that.

This is honestly one of the stupidest things to complain about in a show full of actually stupid shit.
>>
>>69334260
b..but Ned's drug trips are canon! Nobody would ever lie to their children about things that happened before they were born! Nigga you trollin...


When I told my kids about meeting my wife I left out the part where I fucked her in a bathroom stall and she swallowed my load. I also have never mentioned how much she loves to suck dick or get fucked in the ass. Sometimes you omit things when you tell stories to your kids about your past, because of shame or embarassment. Ned omitted the second sword when he told Bran about the fight with Dayne, and it WILL be a significant omission.
