What was unbelieveable about Drogon's reaction? How was it supposed to react based on your knowledge about dragons? There was a scene in earlier episode where Drogon stared Jon for a while. I knew it meant there's something the dragon aknowledges about Jon but it was impossible to tell whether it was like "omg you've got to kill this crazy bitch" or "slice my momma and I'lll roast you" or something else. We can only guess its motives to burn the throne, but I think it's good that a mystical creature leaves some mystery behind. Who was going to explain its reasoning anyway.. a narrator? Voice actor for Drogon? "Why in the world would any other realm accept a Stark as a King, when even the North is not part of the realms anymore. Not only that, his uncle is King in one of the other 6 realms, so the Starks basically have too much influence in Westeros." I don't know why it would be such a big of a deal. Edmure Tully is not a Stark and marriages & connections between houses is common anyway. King doesn't even have a house that rules one of the regions anymore. What disadvantage would there be to other realms if Bran is the king? Not to mention he's not an ordinary fella. "Why is Bronn and Brienne there too, and Davos???, they are nobodies. Every part of that scene was cheap, comically bad and absurd (Why Greyworm and their army are allowing discussing Tyrion, Jon and Westeros future to that council??, they are traitors and conspirators of killing their leader, and they are essentially the conquerors of Westeros...They respond to nobody there....smh)." So now that a character makes a rational choice it also goes down as bad writing? This is getting ridiculous.. Greyworm was a commander of ex-slave army from another continent ffs he wasn't a politician or a leader. You really think he and his army were in any position to start ruling Westeros just like that eh? Without Dany and her dragon? Makes much more sense he put revenge aside and chose what's best for him and his army. Lannisters who killed Missandei were slaughtered already. |
I don't want this to be a long argument, so i will only answer once.
1. Drogon not killing Jon the instant he sees he killed her mother is absurd, and Drogon instead burning the iron throne is just for symbolistic plot reasons....Dragons don't care about politics FFS!! Drogon is a brutal and primal animal, over protective as shown every time in the series. Daenerys burned an entire city because her loved ones were killed. How is Drogon, a animal, not going to kill the one who killed his mother??!?!?. Now, the reasonable thinking is that a dragon is going to have more sensible thinking than a human like Daenerys and think "yeah..., i understand why you did it, and fuck the iron throne, it's the real enemy!!". Come on...
2. You saying that "it won't be such a big deal" it's so strange for me. As a spaniard that have seen all my life how we can't govern ourselfs naturally and respect each other for the benefit of the whole because nationalists want one thing, right want another thing, left another thing, etc...each looking for their own interests. I'm pretty convinced in a realistic situation the Iron Islands or Dorne won't accept the North being independent when they wanted the same for a long period of time than the North. The fact that Bran as a Stark is King is obviously an advantage of the interest of the North. Is the only one who won't deny the North being indepent in any circumstaces. There was a reason during medieval times like Game of Thrones is based why realms were united under one ruler. It was because it meant peace between those realms. It meant stability. If one realm suddenly has an advantage over others, why they should still accept being ruled by the King in KL??, and if they can be independent too whenever they want, then what's the point of the Kingdom??. Going back to everyone by themselves again?? This is again an example of looking at the past (or something mirroring how it was our historical past) with present glasses. This goes against the very nature the show stablished from the beginning and more imporant, what GRRM has always wanted to tell. And besides...., most of that council barely knows who is Bran. You don't give the keys of the house to a person you barely know, and because another one that you barely know tells you to do that.
3. That "character making a rational choice" i guess is Greyworm. Why would you see as a rational choice leaving to others decide if the person who killed your loved Queen goes free when she was the legitimate Queen in your own eyes in the first place??? Did Sansa and Arya give the same "rational choice" to Petyr Baelish in season 7?? Did they brought back this person to the Vale to be judged??? No. it was executed inmediately and none of the audience protested because it was obviously the bad guy, right??. Was Ramsay judged too?? In Greyworm's eyes, Tyrion and Jon are the bad guys. They are traitors, and regicides. In no way any follower of a killed king/queen would allow those people to live, more so if there is no other power to avoid that. And of course the Unsullied and Dothraakis would have fought against all Westeros if necessary, have you not been watching the series from the start or what??. They are warriors, they like to fight, it's their only porpuse and they loved their queen. Greyworm was their leader. It won't be the first time a military acceded to power (or at least tried) in the story of mankind....
Everything in the last episode looked cheap and easy. And Song of Ice and Fire, and the first seasons of Game of Thrones were never cheap and easy. This ending is just .... like a betrayal.
