The greatest flaw is that the season violated the logic of the world Martin crafted. It felt like bad fan fiction of someone who enjoys the books, but doesn't understand the rules that govern them. Dorne alone makes zero sense and was insulting. You're gonna have to elaborate. I get that Dorne sucked, everybody agrees with that, and nobody is defending season 5. However season 6 had very minimal dorne material, so you're gonna need different examples. I put it this way. Imagine House of Cards had the President is assassinated and instead of the Vice President taking the role the assassin becomes president and no one mentions the president is dead. It wouldn't matter how well acted, how big a budget it had, everything would fall away because the suspension of disbelief is shattered. I get the analogy, but you're gonna have to give examples. Even the battle for Winterfell felt hollow as well made as it was. The nature of battles in the books has rarely been translated properly as Martin studied actual medieval warfare but the show is Hollywood spectacle. Actual medieval warfare wouldn't have translated well to tv, that being said the battle of Winterfell was very intense, my only gripe was that it made 0 sense to not give the giant a weapon. I don't mind others enjoying it, but it doesn't feel like Westeros to me. |
That's fine, I'm just trying to understand why and so far things are adding up.
