It doesn't even make sense in-universe. Why wouldn't the Lannisters just pay to have all their enemies assassinated? Why is Dany still alive? How would an organizations of flawless assassins not have constant work?
It was just an excuse to bring back the female fans favorite Jaqen H'gar. They wouldn't get very far with Syrio Forel since he so butt ugly
>>70361378
The Faceless Men are too expensive. In the books they always take something that is very valuable to you, may it be money, a daughter, your hair, a dragon egg, whatever.
>>70361445
So send a peasant to go request the assassination and they can take the peasant's daughter
Bam Dany is dead
>>70361378
Because they are extremely expensive. If you actually watched the show properly you would remember an entire scene in season 1 where the small council discussed how to kill dany.
>>70361492
>send a peasant to kill a queen and mother of dragons
>>70361492
I have a feeling that they might figure this brilliant plan out.
>>70361152
lmao
>>70361378
Lanisters are broke
>>70361527
so they hire some bumbling asshat to play a wine seller to poison dany
>>70361570
>everyone wants her dead
If the faceless men are so powerful how come no one tried to annihilate them.
>>70362192
don't know who to kill
they're pretty underground troupe
>>70362192
It's hard to annihilate what cannot be grabbed or touched.
They're also a sacred group in Bravvos, far from Westeros and their little laws and traditions.
>>70361856
they can detect liars easily, considering they're all professional liars
>>70361570
So what if a peasant INDEPENDENTLY decides to kill a king or queen? Is that somehow something that never happens?
What if one of those sons of the harpy placed a hit?
>not one
>not ONE
>dothraki doesn't like daenerys
>not ONE dothraki out of the thousands dislikes dany enough to throw a dagger at her or shoot her with an arrow
>not ONE son of the harpy killed her while she was climbing, defencelessly and slowly, onto her dragon in the arena
They're so expensive that house Lannister can't afford them, but a theatre actress in Braavos can.
>>70362553
They charge a huge call out fee but give a discount if you let their unpaid interns do the job
>>70362553
She probably gave up her first born for a chance to be a star.
>>70362553
They charge you based on what you value.
They will take your hair, your child, your favorite fucking ring.
The higher the ladder of social status, the more expensive they are.

If they're so poor how did the shitty Sansa actress afford them to kill Lady Crane?
>>70362669
it just the show and its incompetency, so it comes off in pretend and hypocrisy
>>70362669
She's probably like that with every new faceless wannabe
>>70362725
*expensive
>>70362669
Imagine if you spent years training and practicing to pass some final exam to get your Assassin Masters Degree and some little shit kid comes in, clearly the new teachers pet, and acts like she's the shit.
Waif has beef with Arya because she claims she is "No One", when being "No One" is something only a Master Faceless Man can do.
Literally disrespecting the entire thing the Waif has believed in since she came to serve.
>>70362725
Its. Whatever. You. VALUE. Even poor people have shit they value over their other junk
>>70362723
>>70362780
if you value being poor will they give you a ton of money to take being poor away from you?
>>70362779
But the Waif is supposed to be without self. Egoless.
So why would she be personally offended by this? Someone should be able to slash her face up, and her feel no ill will towards that person, because she isn't any one person anymore.

I know you're just having a laugh now but it doesn't work that way. It's all relative. If a peasant wants to have the king killed, they probably wouldn't take the job. If a peasant comes to them and wants a rival peasant gone, they would say sure and probably take a hand away from him, or both.
>>70363810
lol wtf those boards are ass
>>70363893
Alright then, m8
What's to stop a peasant wishing a king dead?
Come up with 1 (ONE) solid answer why every monarch isn't killed by Faceless Men.
>>70363943
You can get a gun and kill anyone you want right now. What's stopping you?
>>70363936
most boards are. They're a tool, not masterpieces
>>70363903
>If a peasant wants to have the king killed, they probably wouldn't take the job
Why not?
>>70363963
Yeah because using a gun is totally the same as hiring magical assassins
>>70363943
>What's to stop a peasant wishing a king dead?
they require a heavy price relative to the client. If as a peasant you want your neighbor dead the FM can demand your firstborn kid for instance
is THIS what this shitposting was about?
>>70363971
what they value most is not valuable enough for the job profile
>>70363810
I didn't know they used comic sans on storyboards. What a great font, it can be used for anything
>>70363943
wishing a king dead? Nothing probably. If one went to the faceless men asking for them to kill the king, the faceless men would probably want his life in return, in which case he'd probably not want the king killed after all.
>>70364010
Both have consequences that are dire regarding your personal comfort and way of life.
>>70361324
is it me or did they reveal this way too soon and in a way too underwhelming fashion? it's like the show is simply going through plot points instead of raising any tension whatsoever for an oncoming invasion/battle between white walkers and well, everyone the fuck else. i mean, this sequence seems quite pivotal to understanding the motives and, obviously, the origins of the white walker king. why handle it in such a throwaway fashion? really, really sophomoric storytelling here. am i wrong in thinking this scene was mishandled?
>>70364060
>there are literally no fanatics willing to give their life to see political leaders killed
>>70364112
As many in the show as there are in real life, I'd wager. Hence why it happens so rarely.
>>70362669
Which is why Jaq is letting Aryia and her fight it out, to see who the better assasin will be.
PROTIP: Every time we see Jaq it could be a different man wearing a different face. The one she met in Westeros may still be in Westeros.
>>70364112
if they're fanatics that are cool with dying then it's not really a great sacrifice so it's no deal
>>70364112
a fanatic doesn't value his life, so they wouldn't accept that payment.
Look, either way they're expensive as fuck. A king is pretty much out of everyone's price range.

So they just go "Hm, Joe next door will be worth all your hair, but Mick the Butcher will cost your son"?
And in that case, what's to stop a wealthy man, a Master for instance, giving his life or worldly possessions to see Dany dead?
>>70362669
>>70362669
The Waif is Arya LOL!!!
>>70364204
>>FM have tiered fees now
who said they didn't before? And of course they would charge more depending on the target. The higher the profile/risk to them, the more they would charge. Stop trying to pick holes in everything, it's a fucking make believe book, not a law of the universe.
>>70364204

themselves. If it hasn't happened then everyone is too much of a pussy. Do you have a particular wealthy man in mind?

Wow good argument, m8
>>70364204
>So they just go "Hm, Joe next door will be worth all your hair, but Mick the Butcher will cost your son"?
I doubt they'd ask for his hair, but probably his daughter
>And in that case, what's to stop a wealthy man, a Master for instance, giving his life or worldly possessions to see Dany dead?
nothing. Have you seen one willing to do that though? Masters are little bitches that cower at the first sign of danger
>>70364046
That is not comic sans
>>70364189
more 17-18, barring any films to conclude or epilogue the series. anyways, it could have been handled more deftly since it's kind of fucking crucial. i guess that's what i get for investing so much time in a series that's basically tits and fucking dragons.
>>70364289
love that strawmanning but that's not what I said. I'm telling you to stop inventing things wrong with the thing you don't like and then kill yourself.

Literal bullshit.
I'm meant to think that no master would give anything to see Dany dead? No Targ loyalist wouldn't have given anything to see Robert die?
Of all the people, in all the lands, nobody would contract the magical assassins to kill a monarch?
Bull. Shit.
>>70363253
It's implied there's a lot more of them in the books.
>>70364411
would you? I'm guessing probably not but you'll say yes anyways as you twirl your trench coat, sheathe your katana and tip your fedora.
>>70361097

>Of all the people, in all the lands, nobody would contract the magical assassins to kill a monarch?
there have been assassinated monarchs before
>>70364396
from what i've read, there's 2 more seasons under contract after this one, which will be more like a split extended final season with 7 episodes each. i could be wrong but i think i read that correctly.
>>70364411
Fucking Stannis gave his daughter for the Lord of Light to help his troops, and I'm meant to think he wouldn't have said "hang on, why don't we contract those magical assassins and take out Joffrey/Tommen". He was willing to do pretty much anything to win that war.
It's shit writing.
You can't have a be-all-end-all group of killers who even peasants can contract and then pretend that no nobles can use/be killed by them. It's just shit writing that isn't focused on so it doesn't upset the plot and characters plot armour.
>>70364531
by the time Stannis killed her he was already going nuts, his army was in tatters and he was completely desperate. What don't you understand?
>>70364508
they're saying 13 episodes. supposedly.
>>70364531
Are they scattered around in Westeros? Because it would have taken a while to get an assassin from Braavos to King's Landing.
>>70364531
there's no point in continuing this. Keep being a retard, no one can fix that.
>>70361324
I could have chosen to bitch about all kinds of problems with GoT, but I didn't because it was fun. But this... I was yelling "What the actual fuck are you doing?" to the writers when they explained all this shit like no biggie.
The price depend on the person you want killed. It would cost too much to kill someone like Danny or a king that's why no one has done it yet.
>>70361152
Fantastic
>>70364614
yes, plus the 4 remaining ones this current season. makes 17 by my math. no doubt we'll get a string of prequels or sequels, if the show doesn't crash and burn in the eyes of pop culture during those last few episodes.
>>70364665
You've given me literally no clear answer as to why more people don't use the FM.
All you can say is "but it's expensive!" and "but nobody has done that!" as if it justifies nobody ever contracting these elite fucking ninjas.
“ The Faceless Men don't post a list of prices on their door. The way it works, you go to them and tell them who you want killed, and then they negotiate the price. The more prominent the victim, the more difficult to get to, the more dangerous for the assassin and the guild, the higher the price. ”
- George R. R. Martin
argue over that all you want. This thread got retarded because of one retard. Later faggots.
>>70364681
indeed. that sequence was so poorly handled it boggles my mind what they have in store the next few episodes.
>>70364710
>no doubt we'll get a string of prequels or sequels
we won't. This isn't amc
>>70364728
how is "they're expensive" not a clear enough answer for you? You ask what hasn't X done it? Because it's not real life, it's a series of books, and we can only go by what has happened.
>>70364729
That's retarded as fuck though. Like that other said, there would be fanatic peasants who would give anything to kill a king, their life, life of their children, whatever. So why isn't every king dead?
Probably because all this shit wasn't thought out in advance at all.
>b-but if they would give up their life i guess that means it's not important to them so they can't afford it anyways
>>70364728
Remember when Jaq met Arya he was a prisoner in the Kings Landing dungeon? Renly hired him to kill Jeffreey

>>70364875
>>70364831
There's no proof of this
>>70364935
your argument is flawed because you keep saying a fanatic. A fanatic doesn't value anything except the stupid shit he's a fanatic over so they wouldn't accept his life or his children as payment. They probably wouldn't even negotiate with him. They don't have to take every job. Please do yourself a favor and stop breathing.
>>70364204
Why is it so absurd that they have a system of varying prices?
Every assassin would demand a higher payment for an important and therefore hard to reach target.
>>70364831
What did Renly pay for that?
Why couldn't they cast someone prettier as Arya? Or at least average? She seriously looks like a fucking troll and her ugly face is distracting. They should give her a new face or something.

Did it anyway.
Does anyone have that really well drawn picture of Jon Snow? I think he's holding a sword and has Ghost next to him. It's the perfect size for a phone wallpaper and I NEED IT

the twist is Waif is still only herself ("no one", but no one herself) while other facelessmen are never themselves, they're always wearing a mask, always playing a role

>implying waif isn't arya's first teacher
>>70364143
>PROTIP: Every time we see Jaq it could be a different man wearing a different face. The one she met in Westeros may still be in Westeros.
I see this theory posted all the time, but how would it work, we saw that they get all their faces from dead people, so how can several people have the same mask/face, except if the original Jaq were like identical triplets, quadruplets etc. so they have several same looking faces.
>>70365029
He didn't have to pay since the deal was never done. Jeffrey died by other means anyways
>>70362225
Except for that large, obvious, ominous castle they live in.
>>70365511
Didn't he reveal himself as Arya last season or something? There was that trippy scene where he just kept taking faces off. Look more like glamours than faces.
>>70363177
you seem very concerned with the sex
>>70365511
Its magic, you dont actually have to put a face on. Once they have a face they can shapeshift when ever they want. Remember when Jaq gives her the Iron coin? He doesn't reach up and adjust a mask, he just looks away and looks right back.
>>70365392
This?
just realized that Bran from even further in the future is the lord of light using his powers to communicate with others in the past through the fire (since white walkers can't use or manipulate fire magic) and manipulate them in order to gather armies from across Westeros toward the north to fight the white walkers. This is also why in this episode the new fire priestess in Mereen made a point to mention and emphasize the important of the voice from the fire and what it said.>lord of light misleads Stannis into believing he is the one true king
lord of light leads Stannis north to stop the wildlings and the nights watch from killing one another which leads to an alliance and a massive army loyal to... Jon Snow
Lord of light leads Stannis to his death when he decides to attack and try to conquer Winterfell while he's in the north.
Sansa just so happened to be IN Winterfell when Stannis attacked.
Jon gets stabbed to death. Lord of Light resurrects him
Lord of Light tells fire priestess tha Jon Snow is the REAL king and he is precious and must be protected
Jon and Sansa leave to gather an even larger army to the north
Lord of Light apparently spoke to the Vayrs when he was a child and told him his purpose was to bring Khaleesi and her dragons to Westeros.
Literally every motivation the lord of light has had to do everything he's done points straight back to Bran Stark trying to amass an army to the north and protect his family.
Bran whispered to the Mad King

The price. You'll pay more for someone important or well protected.

The writers don't know how to give any location life to make it feel real. They could've had a bunch of faceless men perform interesting ceremonies, they could've shown a hierarchy, they could've even had at least one other high-up person converse with the main guy, but no. The writers can't come up with anything to make bravos feel like a living place rather than just a setpiece.

Yeah, he just reach up with one hand and put a wrinkled up piece of flesh on his face and suddenly without any adjustments it sticks and also grows his cheekbones and shit out.
The "Faces" are magic, not tangible things.

I agree. Such a big part of the backstory just thrown into the middle of an episode. They should have at least used it in the episode where the night king attacks bran and the three eyes crow. It would also explain why bran was greenseeing for that last time, when they should have been running away.

My dick goes in your mouth
A man wonders why a man would offer a girl to come to a super secret assassin guild so that she could offer up names to the Red god but when she gets there she's supposed to forget her past.

OP's actually claiming that the show's portrayal is shit, you penis.
>>70366665
Never mind that this doesn't explain at all what they do with Craster's babies.
