(SPOILERS) Game of Thrones discussion

was arya really stabbed? was it really the kindly man? FIND OUT NEXT WEEK ON GAME OF RIPPING MY FUCKING HEART OUT!

 

Aryas plot armor is bullshit

 

Dammit I broke. I got sent the season spoilers and I couldn't stop myself

 

Spoiler: Crazy Theory about Jon Snow

What if Bran is the reason why Jon Snow was born? Rhaegar knew about Jon Snow being the prince that was/will be promised. That's why Dayne and the other guys were protecting Lyanna in the tower instead of their King. Lyanna knew about it too and that's why she made Ned keep a promise.

Anyways I've been watching clips of earlier seasons. The tease for R+L=J is killing me. Lady Stark mentions that Ned brings a bastard after the rebellion, he was in the tower of joy at the end of the rebellion.
Rob asks the name of his bastard's mother, Ned's facial expression says it all. Just confirm the damn thing already.

 

Spoiler: Had to put this here, potential spoilers.

Apologies in advance if I seem like a hater here, but...

Am I the only one here who has not read nor watched Game of Thrones?
Seriously I don't get what all the fuss is about. From what I've heard it seems that the only stand-out feature is the sudden and unforeseen deaths of key characters.
C'mon people, what ever happened to the classic medieval TV shows like Redwall?
Hell, that show was only for kids and it still had characters being axed left and right. There were assassination attempts, animals letting out bloodcurdling cries as they writhed in their death throes, people getting impaled with arrows and swords! How is GoT any different aside from there being multiple factions instead of just two?

 

Didn't realize that Redwall is ongoing, and that it was live action
Besides these differences, there's also the fact that every character has their own story and it's fulfilling to see them grow
It's rewarding seeing story-lines converge, or even the dramatic irony of it all
I just don't see how you can compare a cartoon from the early 2000's to Game of Thrones, which you haven't even seen

 

I may not have seen the GoT show, but when something like that is so popular, it's impossible to go on the internet and not be flooded with tidbits of it here and there, whether it be from countdowns, adult show parodies, fandom, etc. You get to the point where you see recurring trends in what people point out on the show and tidbits of some characters that you get a general idea of what's going on. From what I've seen and heard, the main focus of the attraction is so many characters from so many factions having their own agendas with other characters from other factions; character X from faction Y is trying to get revenge on chacter Z from faction W, while someone else from faction Z is trying to backstab someone from faction T and so on. I can understand that so many intertwining relationships from a plethora of medieval factions can make for a compelling story, but I just don't see how this is any different from what's been done before in other medieval media works such as LotR and Redwall.

Maybe there's something else that is so compelling to the Game of Thrones franchise that people aren't hyping about online so I don't see it, something that doesn't revolve around characters being axed left and right and zombies/wights/undead warriors or whatever they are and dragons. Maybe since other medieval works were only around for a limited time there just isn't anything new to watch and GoT is just pumping out a new storyline with already-existing gimmicks so people don't get stuck watching the same show/movie over and over again.
I'm not here to say GoT is bad, I'm just curious what's so new and revolutionary about it that people are making so much hype about this to the point where it's just as viral on the internet as MLP has become.

 

Before this there was nothing with the huge expansive budget being spent on it that was in the fantasy setting, furthermore George R.R Martin writing is incredible and some of the intertwining stories and complex characters and their motives and just general personalities are very diverse, ranging from the scheming and manipulative Cersei and Baeylish, right down to the honorable Ned and Catlyn. Everyone has favorites and people we despite but there no conventional storytelling tropes in which the bad guys always lose to the good guys.

Plus the community around the show is incredible to be a part of, for a whole year we were grasping to tidbits about Jon and people were analyzing every single scene to find clues and the amount of theories and discussion that is generated from even a build up episode is astounding.

 

ayy

 

in the end that did nearly sound like the Star Wars Theme .... ive just read the last 2 pages ... somethimes im feeling like im watching 2 many Videos about GoT but you're like having every piece of info .... im surprised ...

 

Tonights episode is gonna be really good. I'm too hyped.

Predictions?

 

Spoiler: Theory

Wasn't Ayra who got stabbed, it was Jaqen, because Ayra acted differently in that episode. Somewhere in the interwebs someone made a detailed explanation of this theory but I can't be bothered finding it.

 

You basically just watched this you little leecher.

Spoiler: Video

 

Who introduced you to the channel again?

 

Spoiler: Skdfjsodhdh

Trial by combat is banned throughout the 7 kingdoms!!!!!

 

Goodbye fan theories :^)

I wonder what's going to happen to Cersei. No trial by combat so she's probably going to be found guilty, but how would they actually punish her? How are the sparrows going to get through zombie mountain if Cersei just sends him into the Sept of Baelor?
