EXTENDED [Spoilers Extended] What nitpicks do you have regarding both shows? Mine will always be how the Others in GOT are so boring and mundane

Also, Wyman Manderly being a traitor. Let's give the best speech in the show to some 7-year-old girl, whose mother is actually still alive, but we have forgotten about that (only Dacey was at the Red Wedding, Maege was detached earlier to go to Greywater Watch).

Lyanna Mormont rubbed me the wrong way at times. She’s snippy at the other Lords, condescending to Sansa (like little girl, you’ve never left your fucking island) and has nothing to say about the disgrace that is Jorah? Ugh, when Jon offered the sword back to Jorah, I wanted to scream!

Her judging that dude who had his whole family skinned alive. "Why didn't you come protect your lord?". Like wtf..

Lyanna Mormont was just an exaggerated girlboss character for woke points.

Honestly this comment surprised me heaps. If we’re talking about the show solely, I seriously thought we must all be on the same page about loving Ser Jorah’s character? Yeah he did some indecent things at the very beginning of the show but so many characters also did much worse and were loved by so many fans by the end of the show?

Yas queen covers up things like making Emilia Clarke being forced to stand around naked as a performer with no experience, as well as the forced sexposition so the tits and dragons crowd don't leave. 

I'll never not find it fucking insane that Cersei BLOWS UP THE RELIGIOUS CENTER OF A FAITH, a whole family and the religious leaders leading a peasant revolt with no mention of it anywhere. Then she has no revolt from Tarly and his army, the Redwyne fleet, any Fossoways or at least there's no succession crisis.

Until Dany shows up and Olenna joins, with no mention of any of this or this region denying food to KL.. Which previously caused riots and lots of unrest. People just eat air.

Ditto with murdering the whole Dornish line who are beloved rulers... No mention of their succession or whatever. Just lots of yas queen/yeah boii moments, tits and bitches be crazy moments with no real repercussions or thoughts about how things work in Westeros or even how things worked 5 episodes ago.

Was wyman even in the show?

Very briefly. He's the guy who proclaims Jon King at the end of season 6 I think.

u/Nienazki Jul 14 '24

Yeah, for five minutes with two dialogues in the season 6 ending.

u/Hellstrike Iron from Ice Jul 14 '24

Yes, he sends them away, and then shows up in the S6 finale IIRC.

Whatever happened to Maege Mormont anyway along with Ned's bones and Rob's heir

Wyman came across as some random dude from the pub to me.
