Sé que luego en BluRay la cosa mejoró y supongo que con los años y las mejoras de bitrate en la actualidad también podrá verse mejor en streaming. Pero cuando se emitió, ya podía tener la mejor tele del mundo: podrías verlo mejor que otros, pero se veía mal, pixelado y oscuro igualmente.

      @@DanCampbellGlazer Because of the lore that the story was feeding into and referencing through 7 seasons. Then they up and change it to finish it off in the final season. Everything the story, myths, and plots all pointed to John Snow having that final battle. Instead the made the NK weak and pathetic, and finally killing him off with Arya, who had nothing at all to do with his story line. The one person that was part of her story line was Cercie and they even ruined that death.

      The night king is also smart and calculating, unlike you, which is why you made your idiotic comment comparing her to Theon who didn't even show HALF of the promise Arya showed throughout the entire series.

      Jaime, on the 'other hand', was robbed. What was the point in any of the stuff he went through? They made the audience care about such an awful character, just for him to die as he would have if he'd died in the pilot. 🙈
      I wanted him to get a happy ending with Brienne. The ugliest woman in Westeros with the most handsome man would've fit with his character development so much better than 'he got crushed by bricks in Cersei' s arms' 😭

    The one thing that never slipped during Game of Throne's final seasons was the music. Even in this scene there's so much passion in that music, that steadily raising tempo before dropping into this slow, ominous tune that builds again as the Night King and Bran share their looks to one another. There's an entire conversation in that look between them, an entire argument on rights and wrongs, good vs evil, and its just encapsulated by that music. Unfortunate it had to be attached to the rest of this episode.

    What I hate most about this scene is how god damn lazy it feels. Before this, the Night King had just killed Theon who was the last one standing defending Bran. That scene had white walkers surrounding the whole area, just standing around watching. Theon runs past a bunch that were in the background as he was charging the night king.
    Then there's this scene taking place in the same exact spot. Night king is about to kill Bran when Ayra just materializes out of thin air behind him. Like wtf? It's not explained at all how she was able to sneak up on the night king without a single one of the white walkers noticing. We know she's stealthy, but she can't turn invisible. It's like they just wanted a last minute save-the-day big moment, and ayra just happened to be an assassin, so they were like, "hey let's just have ayra do her assassin thing, we don't really have to explain it, but we'll just have her pop out behind the night king at the last second. Easy peasy!"

But this was such a huge let down based on how they have hyped the prince who was promised. And then again HOTD is using it as the basis for Targaryen right to reign. This was Jon’s big moment and it was stolen from him. I would have even been in favor of it being dany who got to kill him. But I will never forget or forgive DND for how they ruined jon and Dani’s character.

      It was because of Jon that Arya decided to return to Winterfell instead of going to King's Landing. Jon is the one who gathered all the armies and allies together. The prophecy does not mention *how* the one who was promised would bring the dawn. Who else but Arya could wield the dagger (that has the inscription of the prophecy on it) to kill the night king?

      While I can agree...the show also constantly showed how prophecies ( and other stories as a whole ) could be wrong and misinterpreted. Having Arya kill the Night King goes to prove that while also giving us this payoff of her working for years to not only not be the "lady" she was "born" to be but also fought against for years.Even to the first season, what do we say to the god of Death, not today. And the "death" of the whole realm was meant to be at the hand of the long winter and the Night King, and she defeated him.

      Theons charge at the Night King is just stupid, he is not even known for being skilled with a spear
      He did some horrible crimes to the Stark, but he regrets them. So it would put some moral questions to the audience.

    You can see elements of this here and there that were astonishing, interesting and actually good ideas. If it hadn't been so damn rushed or if they hadn't flubbed so many other things. It's like watching a team come close to going to the Super Bowl but having the QB throw an interception in the End Zone instead of a winning touch down or a RB fumbling on the goal line only to have a defensive player scoop it up and run it back the other way for the game winning touchdown. It just feels so hollow and empty and pointless and even the really good stuff just pisses you off because you could see how great it could have been if they hadn't rushed and fucked it up.

      I think it is a real big problem that we all now have so many expectations how a story should be told, that this really limits the diversity of stories.
      The bomb always is defused on the last second. The hero gets the girl. ... Boring.
      Game of Thrones was different. From start to finish expectations were disappointed. Charakters were build up to die quick without a lot of glory. Eddard, Rob, Littlefinger, Tywin, ... And this unpredictability and different approache to storytelling made it unique and entertaining.

      Before that was known, it was thought he was Ned's bastard son, which would have made him Arya's half-brother. But never in any way was he a step-brother.

    What should have happened: The resurrected Jon defeats the Night King in a duel. But with the King dead the walkers dont stop they just go beserk. Jon, resurrected and not feeling like he is part of the world, picks up the Night Kings weapon and stabs himself to become the new night king, and then sends the walkers back beyond the wall, "forever". He goes with them and only Brann is smart enough to understand the choice.

    So she can fly and be faster than the speed of wind? I am confused on when she was able to become super human. You have hundreds of white walkers around the night king and not a single one went after her even though they were chasing her in the entire episode. The night king wanted to go after Brann for reason unknown besides him being the three eyed raven. He decided that now was a good time to go after him even though he lived in his domain up north for thousands of years. Nothing made sense and very unclear just like the cinematography in this episode.

      No. She is an assassin which includes moving silently and without detection in the shadows and death strikes. That is why she was training for so long. Look at the AD&D charticer class Assassin. The reason the Night King moved their army south is because of the winter moving in which lasts much longer than our winters.

    I don't know if it was the build up to this but feel like this was the biggest let down second only to Bran becoming king. The attempt to make it look like everyone important was about to die when we all knew they weren't going to die, was the worst writing ever. When writers decide that averting expectations and theories is more important than the story itself, it can become a dumpster fire quickly.

    • @boredom2go
      @boredom2go 2 роки тому +4

      It was a problem created by the story built by GRRM. You can't have some final battle at King's Landing without WInterfell getting wrecked, and Winterfell isn't getting wrecked without all the Starks dying. Then the story is definitely not going anywhere. GRRM wrote himself into a corner, which is probably one of the big reasons he hasn't finished the series.
      The build up is always better than the resolution. Our brains imagine this nebulous ending that does not exist and cannot exist, so we are invariably disappointed. Consider the movie Seven. It had one of the best slow build-ups ever, but the ending was just stupid. It is so hard to craft a truly inspired resolution.

But, by this pt they were being lured by Disney, other projects and were looking for a way out of the whole thing. And I mean really almost everyone.
