The people who can't get over Euron's dragon shot must have hated Dany emerging from a burning funeral pyre with three dragon babies, Bronn's long arrow shot to ignite the wildfire at Blackwater Bay, the Hound being alive after his injuries in the fight with Brienne, Arya being able to slice off peoples face and wear them as a disguise to enhabit the dead person's body,, being able to warg into animals, multiple characters being resurrected, Melisandre birthing a smoke baby to assassinate Renly, the existence of magical wolf like beasts with a near telepathic bond to their owners, Sansa and Theon surviving a jump off the winterfell wall, the existence of magical swords, and the hold the door scenes as little green people launch magical grenades that kill undead zombies.

I cannot fathom how you've made it this far if the dragon kill was the breaking point for you.

You guys are more upset than anybody on this thread.

Sure as hell doesn't seem like it.

My favorite tweet was something along the lines of:

"Dany just lost her dragon to the Westeros version of Bam Margera"

Does that make Tyrion Wee-Man?

They should have just put ghost awkwardly standing in front of the coffee.

Yeah, they edited it out.

What's hilarious is Starbucks got $2B+ worth of free marketing and it wasn't even a Starbucks cup.

at this point they are just grasping for straws trying to cover up the absolute failure of this season. it's laughable.

Simply this would have sufficed.

They made a ****ing 1.5 hour movie with a fully furred Pikachu running around that looks good. You can surely do 60 secs of furry wolf. And it didn't play out the way you wanted it to

---

Ok that's not really a fair comparison.

Pikachu movie budget: $150M for 1.5 hours = $100M/hour

GOT S8 budget: $100M for 7.33 hours = $13.6M/hour


Likewise - and this was 16-18 years ago when it aired so double it today

LOTR trilogy budget = $281M for 686 minutes (extended versions) = $24.5M/hour


It's big budget for a TV show - not even close to movie budgets.

I don't ignore posters much but I'll admit that I have a bunch of posters on ignore until this thing is over.

they ride dragons in this show but petting a dog is a bridge too far.

Watching reactions and arguments to to this goofy fan fiction of a season is more entertaining than the actual show.

Probably belongs in the humor thread but it was too funny not to share lmao

Nah. I'm good.

Then don't complain to try and keep the argument going.

---

Nobody is we just want you to shut up. Nobody cares.

---

I'm going to defend myself when people talk ***** I didn't bring it back up. And the conversation has obviously proven people do care.

---

---

So mature. Hit the ignore button Mr know it all. I really don't care.

---

you keep saying:


I don't care

He started it

I'm not gonna let people talk ****

nuh uh

people care about it


and other genius arguments and i'm not mature?????

take a hint everyone wants YOU to STFU. that argument should have died 11 pages ago. Since you can't take a hint I'm now going to ridicule you directly.

---

It did die. I'll respond to the cheap shots though. That's why I jumped back in And you're doing a great job of keeping the cheap shots rolling yourself.

You two are making a borderline un followable thread actually un followable. I have never seen two people have such an unrelenting need to get "Last Word." Worse than my 7 and 9 year old.

I am going to get "last worded" because of this post. And I am not going to respond to it because I am a grown man.

I think many on this thread will agree that there is only one logical way that this lover's quarrel should end.

Did anyone listen to Oysters Clams and Cockles this week?

Ross was so confused on the Tyrion/Sansa conversation. He thought Tyrion already knew about Jons lineage before that. That bran told him.

Blows my mind someone with a big podcast like that could be SO confused on something so obvious(that Sansa told him right there)

I'm not gonna last word you BCG - I have no problem with that and I'm not childish so I don't feel the need to retort to any insults particularly.


But on the actual argument - which I have not responded to at all for 11 pages because I thought it was dumb - I will say finally and only once:


I think the entire argument is asinine - both sides.


It has zero to do with physics, it has zero to do with range or how they got there or the weapons capability or anything of that sort.


The ENTIRE REASON they did not shoot the dragon is the same reason they did not shoot Tyrion, shoot the small number of Unsullied, or take shots at the Queen who was right there, or send out a regiment to take out that small group, etc.

They agreed to a parlay there. That's why the two advisors met halfway to discuss terms. They obviously did not come to attack and both Queens were out there (on foot and in dresses) which they never would be if any fighting was going to take place.

That's it.

Generally speaking you don't shoot during an armistice discussion. You may put on a show of arms as they did but shooting is frowned upon - Qyburn was at risk out there for one thing. A minor non combatant as a captive was executed for dramatic effect but otherwise there was not going to be any shooting.

Me trying to catch up on the last few pages

Same reason nobody was shot here:

the only shots fired were Ramsay's crass insults and little lady mormont's glare.

they showed the wolf's head and threatened Rickon (and later did execute him in dramatic fashion).

pretty much the same thing happened
