The amount of people shocked by what she did to all those people at King's Landing I'm like HOW have they've NOT been paying attention to the build up of her becoming The Mad Queen. She saw two of her sons murdered and Cersei order the execution of her best friend Missandei. People have betrayed her, Jon dropped that bombshell on her. And Missandei's last words were 'Dracarys!'

What did they think was going to happen? Smh.

So basically all the criticism came from camps protecting their own identity. A white woman for Sansa and a black woman Misande. Silent af when they needlessly sent all the brown people to die in episode 3 for no damn good reason. Why would strangers to the land lead the charge at night in place they didn't know. Operation Human Shield hide behind the darkies. smh

OMG!!! I was thinking of the South Park movie too, lol.

Actually there were discussions on twitter, on blogs and on news media sites about the POC being sacrificed to protect a nation of white folks who hadn't even shown any appreciation for them. Was the chatter as big as the ones regarding rapes and this most recent death of Missandei? No. That rape discussion of Sansa was a dominant topic back when it happened. But the key thing is that she is a main character with a name we all know. Faceless Dorathki and Unsullied are not going to generate as much outrage.

That said fuck all of those people who have been whining about this shit. This is a show in which mass slaughter, unjustified and cruel killings, castrations, beheadings, infanticide, crippling, feticide, being burned alive, hangings, etc, has been occurring since episode one of season one. But outrage is limited to only a couple of scenarios:

1- Female characters who are raped
2-Women of color (black women) who are killed.

It must have been so gut-wrenching for people, in particular black women, to see Missandei lose her head. Everyone was expecting Grey Worm to die (for the last two seasons in fact), so they had mentally had accepted that fate for him. To kill the black chick threw them for such a loop. And why wouldn't it? Black female characters rarely die in genre TV. GoT writers subverted expectations and though I was sad about what happened I also welcomed it in regard to Grey Worm. For at least another week the masses didn't get their death of a black man.

And fuck DuVernay. I doubt she has been a long viewer of the show, most likely a Johnny Come Lately. The one time she tweets about the show it is to express her hurt feelings about the one black woman being killed. I guess being a black woman was supposed to give the character a sort of plot armor or convenience armor to allow her to remain alive by series' end.

1 of the funniest thing about the fake outrage last week about Missandei's death is a lot of the females who were complaing about it were the same ones who usually complain about lightskin/biracial females and don't consider them black. Now they're convientely trying to claim one.

Absolute facts.
So damn true

Wow! GOT writing has really fallen off this last season. So far nothing has been satisfying or consistent.

I've been meaning ask this question in The Nerdz Lounge for the last week: Seeing as how GoT's writing has fallen off ever since the show passed the books, do y'all high hopes for these upcoming spinoffs that HBO is working on?

If these spinoffs aren't going closely based off the spinoff books that GRRM has done, like the the first 5 seasons GoT was, I don't have high hopes for them.

It could go either way. You have creative freedom to a certain degree, as oppose to having to come up with a TV friendly ending to an unfinished story.

[This story contains spoilers for season eight, episode five of HBO's Game of Thrones, "The Bells."]

Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) has won the Iron Throne. On paper, it's about as happy an ending as 'Game of Thrones' could possibly muster — but the surface details leave out all the fire, blood and character assassinations along the way.

For y'all folks who watch "The Walking Dead", does TWD have to deal with Twitter SJWs complaints is considered big news?

I guess people forgot about all of the ruthless shit she has done in the past seasons. I will agree that they could have done a better job at showing the transition from calm to madness, but is makes sense.

And anything having to do with a woman is big news at the moment. Even if that woman is fictional. It’s all about getting clicks. It’s lazy journalism, but it gets the advertisement revenue.

Dumb & Dumber (Dan & Dave) aren't involved at all in the prequels being shot next decade.

GRRM will come back onto the executive staff to help keep things correct but this is virgin territory because it is not source material but about 10,000 years prior to ASIOF

Ruthless is one thing killing all those innocent people even after they surrendered was completely out of character. All it does is create factions who will move heaven and earth to kill that dragon then her.

Having served in combat multiple times, I can assure you, some things go hand and hand. And when that breaking point hits, it can seem like it came from nowhere. But, the reality is that there were always signs that we glossed over.

However, as I mentioned, they should have done a better job of showing the transition for the sake of the audience. But, regardless, people flipping like that can be commonplace in war torn environments.

And that's why war crimes exist because again they surrendered this wasn't collateral damage they threw their swords down and they killed them and innocent people fleeing for their lives. There's a reason there are rules to engagement otherwise fuck it lets play last man standing if that's everyone's attitude.

That is the problem society has in real life. So I guess it makes sense that they will miss that on a fictional show.

One thing I will say about the racial elements is that during ancient times there are VERY little signs of racism against darker skinned people. I have started reading the book
Year Of The Five Emperors that tells the stories of the black Roman Emperors during that time. The only thing about their skin color was that they were identified when described by the white Romans as to being black, dark-skinned, etc. Very little issue with it. A lot of race mixing in Ancient Rome.

If people were to make a movie or a show about Year Of The Five Emperors or The Severan Dynasty that will better illustrate what GoT have missed on in some parts of the show. But it is not as big as these SJWs are making it out to be, but we KNOW how they are. To them a pinch is a punch.

Yes, I am aware as I have lived it. But, this is a fictional show that doesn’t have those rules. The audience wanted more, and that is understandable, but it wasn’t necessary for her to flip, considering that her family has 300 plus years of documented mental illness, and the fact that her last trusted advisor and friend literally died in front of her but not before implying that she should burn it all.

I hope that explains it.

I agree. People have been rooting for the character since the beginning. So when the audience/reader feels that close to a character, they feel ownership. I guess it was hard for most to accept, but they have been alluding to this for years.
