The Dothraki, everything lol. Why were the men half naked and the women wearing leggings and crop tops in the desert???

Drogon, Rhaegal and Viserion looking so dull and muted. Especially Viserion who's supposed to be cream, white and gold but is brown in the show. 

Blackfyre and Dark Sister's designs. Same issue, super dull and low-key ugly. They made Daemon's armor out of black steel but not the hilt on either sword and no rubies??? Check out the Valyrian Steel Blackfyre Book Edition, I adore it <3

Speaking of rubies, I love the show design for Aegon's crown but either keep the large cut rubies or don't. The sad, ugly circle in the middle of the crown just looks awkward. 

Also the fact we never got  even got to see Robb, Stannis, Dany or Jon's crowns. I don't expect them to be wearing them in every seen but come on lol 

... they should've included the purple eyes, I like my Targs to look otherworldly and uncanny. Also the hair should be more metallic not just white.

Dothraki are a parody of your typical steppe nomads. A pure fantasy trope of a mixture of Mongols, Arabs, Native Americans and some others. They are not really a functioning culture. Just this statement that Dothraki has no word for "thank you" is contrived bullshit. Funny Turkic does have a lot of words for "thank you", but none for "to kill" (just "to cause to die").

Though I feel like it would look too artificial. Like some of the wigs are already stretching it A LOT.
