Official Game of Thrones Season 4 Thread *The North Remembers*(NO SPOILERS!!)

[satam55]

I just got done reading the Book-to-screen breakdown of the latest episode, GOD DAMN they changed-up a bunch of shyt from the books!!! They even killed off a couple characters that been around since Season 1/Book 1 & are still alive in the books.


What'll ya'll think would've have happened if Ygritte had lived & had been taken prisoner like Tormund? I think Jon & her would atleast had break-up/reunion sex.

Man yall some brand new acting cats.

Let's not forget some GREAT historic fighting/action scenes.

1.) End of Star Wars
2.) Heat (standoff in the street)
3.) A few LOTR fights
4.) Neo vs. Agent Smith
5.) Superman II (when Superman fought the villains)


Look, the cinematography and directing was fantastic for this episode. BUT to say it was the best action/fight scene EVER?????

:stopit:

With the exception of LOTR, none of those fights have a similar scale.

Star Wars was starships flying around and getting blasted, wash, rinse, repeat, for a few minutes until Luke blew up the Death Star. Tons of sci-fi have done similar with better special effects. The thing that makes Star Wars special is the context.

People want to take this battle scene out of its context, but the fact is the context is what makes the greatest battle scenes all great. If you were to throw the same highly esteemed battle scenes in an extremely shytty movie, they would be forgotten (see Star Wars prequels).

Plus when I say battle scenes, I mean armies in combat. A battle scene can feature one-on-one scenes, but they take place inside a larger battle.

these last 2 episodes, I hope the season finale leaves us something to talk about 'til next April

Fans of fantasy drama Game of Thrones can expect the best season finale ever next week, with showrunners promising the “finest hour” of the series so far.

David Benioff and Dan Weiss are sure that

Spoiler: Episode Title

“The Children”

will surpass viewers’ high expectations when it airs next Monday as the tenth episode of an acclaimed fourth series.

“It’s the best finale we’ve ever done, bar none,” the pair said in a statement. “The performances from our cast, the direction from Alex Graves, the VFX work, the new cues from Ramin Djawadi – all of it came together in perhaps the finest hour we’ve produced.”

Benioff and Weiss added that they are so “immensely proud” of the finale that there are concerns no future episode will better it.

“We’re a little intimidated by the episode because now we have to get back to the business of season five and figure out a way to top it,” they continued.

Hype level infinity

Avg. episode in GoT is 6M...60-80M per season and you get avg. about 7.5M for 8 hours VS a 100+M movie for 2 hours of entertainment...

my math may be off...but you need more people b.

With the way Season 4 has lived up to the hype thus far (and there was a LOT of grandiose predictions on how dope season 4 would be from both book readers and the show creators, actors, and media, etc.) I'm buying into this hype. Can't wait until Sunday.

Season 1 is my favorite finale, Dany standing with those dragons was epic.

 

[beanz]

i cant take it! this wait is killing me!

 

[CJ]

Damn they got that hype machine swagged on about a trilly so far. I don't think they'll disappoint though.

But saying it intimidates them for season 5 has me a little

Regardless.. I'm ready

Are you really trying to compare Hollywood blockbusters with budgets in the hundreds of millions of dollars to a single episode of a TV show?

The fact that they made the episode on par with a lot of those movies is AMAZING.

Preferably, I wouldn't. The ONLY reason I made the comparison is people came in here saying it was the best action scene EVER....EVER. I mean think about that for a second.

With the exception of LOTR, none of those fights have a similar scale.

Star Wars was starships flying around and getting blasted, wash, rinse, repeat, for a few minutes until Luke blew up the Death Star. Tons of sci-fi have done similar with better special effects. The thing that makes Star Wars special is the context.

Plus when I say battle scenes, I mean armies in combat. A battle scene can feature one-on-one scenes, but they take place inside a larger battle.

You obviously have underestimated the directing, creativity and artsmanship of the Star Wars fighting scenes.

"Star Wars manages to still captivate and wow modern day generations with its battle scenes and intelligent use of special effects, and have helped make this series one of the targets for modern day visual artists who hope to recreate Lucas’ space opera classic." http://listverse.com/2012/03/18/top-10-films-with-the-best-special-effects/

Again, my point is to help people avoid the recency error, whereby they think the most recent thing they saw, experienced is the greatest. By doing so, it fails to recognize all the great work that paved the way for GoT. For example, GoT is influenced by things like LOTR.
