I'm shocked that the expendable demographic in the narrative was the nonwhites.

Im not crying about it. The dothraki were completely annihilated. The showrunners arent capable of portraying post invasion culture clashes well so they decided on narrative genocide.

Like the Daenerys plotline always had a white savior issue. That's undisputable. But topping it off by WIPING OUT the swarthy soldiers entirely responsible for her agency as a sovereign is 100 percent a hill worth dying on

Yeah thats pretty much how it goes down. The inner workings of the storytelling logic are irrelevant to the overarching racism present.

Also keep in mind it's not a value judgement on the show, I still am gonna enjoy the show, but it definitely reflects racist attitudes that I find problematic.

No surprise there. Pointing this sort of thing out always makes people prickly.

Spoiler:
Will I guess the dothraki are still alive just offscreen cuz fuck everything. I retract my earlier opinion.

Anyway the episode was good! A whole lot of complaints about it on r/freefolk and r/gameofthrones (apparently the whole ending got leaked so I'm steering clear of the former) but I honestly thought it was a great episode. Poor Dany though. Also kinda pissed off at Sansa for sullying the Stark honor.

The naval sneak attack is okay because boats can be sneaky f the geography allows it. Poor baby tho.

Also I very much enjoy staring at Dan or David's whoever it is fuckin contour beard like why does anyone think they can get away with that look and why does society allow it?

Round faces rise up btw

She just wanted a delay to better prepare. Like with a delay to recover, they could of build armor for the dragons so it didn't die or something.
That could be the straw that broke the mad queen's brain but Sansa would have let the cat out of the bag regardless.

I didn't Zor, I just mentioned the existence of them. I'm sorry if that in itself ruined something for you, really, but I don't get what that would be.

Is this really Zor? The writing style seems off.

Anyway I would be a bit disappointed if the leak was true but that's just my own deal, Zulfy not liking the ending doesn't mean Zoraster isn't gonna like the ending. I'll refrain from mentioning it again tho.

How many times did Arya survive collapsing buildings and fire tho? It was ludicrous.

Cleganebowl was okay.

The thing that I hated the most is that it didn't feel like I was watching the world of Game of Thrones come to a close, I was just watching a bunch of scenes that the showrunners wrote in order to end the show.

In post 4639, Krazy wrote:Still though, I don't see how a narrative where Dany becomes a benevolent monarch was at all possible when all of her experiments in governance in the East were all such complete failures.
Her governance in Dragon's Bay was so successful that the slavers had to attack the city to stop people from seeing the successes of abolitionism.

In the end it was "Oh shit she's too sympathetic, let's make her kick the dog real hard and that'll be the end of that."

She and Drogon were more ruthless and effective against civilians tham the army of the dead.

I dont think people are upset about the whole mad queen conclusion, just that it's brought about in an incredibly lazy way, and the explanation for it is just quacking word for word what DnD said at the end of the episode. (She was stoic when her abusive brother who had just threatened to slice her fetus open got killed, therefore burning millions of people makes sense, etc.)

The series finale was rushed. That's the takeaway from everything. This episode out of context was pretty good though.
