Oh, and usually I would roll my eyes t the coffee cup thing, but don’t tell us you need two years to film because cinematography/editing...and y’all doing this like this, struggle cgi etc

Countdown to HBO's Twitter releasing a pic of a medieval cup prop that looks eerily similar to a Starbucks cup.

If only thet had so


Dany since going to the North... she ain't ask for the red carpet. She has continually put herself and her army at risk. Just the fact the North is still questioning her like shes some Cersei Mad Queen is plain bad writing

Loses Viserion saving Jon beyond the wall



• Loses yet more of her army fighting against the White Walkers in the North. Loses Jorah, one of her oldest friends and protectors.



• Loses Rhaegal and Missandei to Cersei. She literally has to watch her best friend get executed



• Despite giving everything she has had to these people, she can see that they will never accept her and will always love Jon instead

• Her advisers are conspiring behind her back

But she did ask for the red carpet. She came in like I'm your queen, bow to me. She wasn't even gonna go to the North. It was Tyrion that advised her to do become allies with the North, and she only went because she fell for Jon. It was her and Jon's arrogance that got Viserion killed.

She hasn't given anything for any people. They all see her for what she is, using them for her purpose, since she's said nothing but "pledge your allegiance to me" since arriving. The North don't fukk with outsiders. That's been said since S1.

Varys has said time and time again that he serves the realm. He is gonna do what he can to see the right person on the throne, for the people. Dany hardly listens to anyone, she's hard to control, but that's what they initially liked about her. The closer she gets to the throne, the more unhinged she becomes. she needs another sabbatical, like she had in Meereen. Varys is just weighing the options.

 

[YaThreadTrashB!]

Ehh, I didn't realize it was as cloudy as it shows in this shot. Makes Dany not seeing the fleet a bit more plausible.

I was



She wasn’t even close to being high as the clouds

 

[Jards]

No it wasn't at King's Landing, it was at Dragonstone. That why what you wrote made no sense. You're complaining about there not being any sneak attacks while traveling by citing a sneak attack that happened while they were traveling.

I’m gonna have to hold the L on the location then

I thought it was Kings Landing cause in Danys next scene they’re at Cersei’s gates.

So they’ve jet packed from Winterfell to Dragonstone to Kingslanding? Writing has reall gone down the shytter....

 

[intruder]

Missandei is about that life. She went out like a G. fukk a last "i love you" to Grey Worm. She made her own mad king style "burn them all" statement.

[Sterling Archer]

In the belly of his beasts...thanks to Sansa.

Who holds the Vale again? Lessee...

Defeated thanks to Jon and Littlefinger. They put him in the toilet, they just let her flush him.
Lord Royce and Robin Arryn hold the Vale.

Stop giving this brawd accolades that arent hers.

 

[Coli Bot]

You nikkaz would be mad and hate on this ending no matter which way it went.

Im finna just enjoy the ride.

 

[Ribbs]

It's me.

The writers are pushing the "Mad Queen" angle. But I agree with you. Dany will continue to have to prove herself a worthy ruler of Westeros in the eyes of the North.......as if she hasn't already. She's constantly having to lose more...and more...and more....even though the North won't truly accept her unless she deleniates control of The North to a stark, and let's them be their own independent nation. Sounds like a reasonable requests from the perspective of the Northsmen, but problem is other kingdoms of westeros will want to secede also. Chaos ensues.

Thing is, Dany has been pulled in every which way by her advisors for the good of each specific house(Lannister, Stark, Mormont) on her advisory board.

Tyrion loves his family still, he ask Dany to give them pardon. She does, and Cersei gets stronger and Jamie(who they should've taken hostage) rides back South to aid his sister. Lannisters get breathing room due to Dany's diplomacy.

Jon Snow ask Dany to be more understanding of where the North is coming from in regards to their weariness of her. She acquaiseces has a heart to heart with Sansa, and fights for the North. Loses almost all the Dothraki in the process and almost all of the unsullied. And even before the battle, loses a dragon on that suicide mission headed by Jon Snow. Dany will ultimately get the blame, while they all praise Jon, and Dany is seen as an incompetent Mad Queen.

Everyone anti-dany at this point might as well be saying thanks for the help Mad Queen, now F off!!



That seems to be the angle everyone is going with. Especially Varys. He's all about protecting the realm and going against Dany to do so, as if "The Realm" hasn't been crap under his watch. They "Mad Queening" the hell out of Dany, as if Westeros wasn't already a craphole ruled by a mad queen. At this point, let Dany fly back East and let Cersei have Westeros. The damage has been done. Even if Dany cedes control of the North back to The Starks, everyone will know Jon has a rightful claim to the throne and folks will go to war to get Jon on the throne, even though he doesn't want the throne. There's absolutely nothing Dany can do at this point to not be viewed as "Crazy Dragon Lady" short of sacrificing her life for the realm. There's a pattern here if you peep it.

If plan goes right:

Hurray Starks!!! King of the North!!! Go Jon!!! Arya the Night King Slayer!!!

If plan goes South:

She's such a mad queen!! She's too impulsive!! She doesn't listen. What a horrible plan!!



Even if she were to deleniate power to the Starks in the North, I bet they'd still want Dany around to take down Cersei as some sort of Captain Marvel "In case of emergency" button.

Hell of a summary. Dany is in a no win situation but she’s come too far to turn back now. Her ego won’t allow it. She’s lost too much to just simply fade away. Strike First, Strike Hard, No Mercy!!

It's not the writing breh, it's YOU. The next scene wasn't Dany at the gates of King's Landing, it was them in Dragonstone dealing with the L they just took. (How they immediately knew Cersei had Missandei is a legit question....tho it's kinda inconsequential). Tyrion talked her into going to KL to offer Cersei one last chance to surrender.


This "jetpacking" criticism is asinine. The fact that they have Dany at King's Landing before Jon and the rest of her army can make it via the King's Road shows that they're cognizant of how long it takes to travel between these places. They're just choosing not to show the traveling cuz it's a waste of screen time.

 

[newarkhiphop]

I was fine with the episode, mostly.


why ain't she use the dragon on the iron fleet after they missed

 

[The Mad Titan]

Dany could see the fleet and not know they had that iron on them until it was too late
