!kino !nooticers they say the episode is being review-bombed.
the second thread got jannied lmao
Review bombed 100%, homophobic reactions to the kiss at the end it's not a coincidence that 90% of the 1/10 reviews are from Saudi Arabia. Like seriously how does this episode have the worst rating compared to the previous one.
What about Laenor and his lover getting intimate? The show was not review bombed at all for that. Don't know if that is consistent with what the root cause for these negative reviews.
most peculiar huh?
I imagine some of the bomb ratings are homophobic but some are because of the bad writing. I would give it a 7 maybe because it's too slow, Daemon should've been in Harrenhaul for 2 episodes 3 at a push. Rhaenyra being annoyed at her son who is only trying to advise her and then goes seeking validation from a stranger who helped usurp her a matter of weeks ago. I couldn't really care less about the kiss but I'd like for it to be viewed for what is is, a mistake on Rhaenyra's part and the beginning of her downfall. And also we get this instead of a cool scene of Addam and Seasmoke or maybe Helaena visiting her sick husband's bedside or more Corlys ffs.
Lmao
I'm more surprised there's even that many folk watching it in Saudi.

I watched it and googled as soon as the kiss happened. As expected, it wasn't in the book. Same for Daemon fricking his own mom last week. The kiss was jammed in...ungracefully. Like they weren't hitting the gay quota and someone said "hey, we have two chicks talking alone at the end, we could just make them gay. Easy peasy."

Rhaenyra was groomed by her uncle and later husbando who took her to a brothel when she was 14.
Makes sense she decided to bang Mysaria after the latter told her a story about being r*ped by her father.

I would have forgiven that show much if monke girl and Alicent had gotten it on fr, old school pay cable style. No chuds are review bombing this episode over the girls kissing, it is the endless parade of tedious board meeting scenes that go nowhere plus excessive BIPOCs in silly wigs that are killing that show.

What's the in-show explanation for Corlys being a BIPOC?
Aegon the Conqueror's mother was Valaena Velaryon and Jaehaerys I mother was Alyssa Velaryon but the Targs are all white.
Asuming Corlys mother was from the Summer Islands he should be many shades lighter. In that scenario Baela and Rhaena should be only 1/8 black and the Velaryons should be BLEACHED out of existence but here they look

tbf, we already know the GOT world's genetics don't work like real-world genetics. The main storyline of GOT kicked off with the revelation that every Baratheon descendant ever had black hair until Cersei's kids.
The BIPOC gene must work like that. Super-duper extra dominant. George RR Martin believer in the One Drop Rule confirmed .

Pra te dar um contexto, tinha uma cidade chamada Valyria onde os grandes lordes domavam dragões com magia de sangue. Os Valyrianos são descritos nos livros como tendo pele branca, cabelo prateado e olhos violeta. Dai 400 anos antes de GOT 200 antes de HOTD Valyria foi destruída num cataclismo. Dai só sobraram 3 famílias, Targaryen (senhores de dragões) Velaryon e Celtigar, e eles só casavam entre eles ou praticavam incesto pra manter o sangue puro.
Mas por algum motivo estranho na serie fizeram os Velaryon negros com cabelo prateado, as pirucas deles são uma bosta.

As I was watching the scene unfold I thought "these two chicks should totally scissor each other", and sure enough 5 seconds later they were making out.
The directing in this show makes everything so predictable.
Like when Rhaenys went to talk to her dragon before the fight, it totally gave away that she was about to die.

I wonder what these r-slurs would think when they find out the lover of the trans man in Boys Don't Cry in real life was actually a chuddy af trailer trash chick who told Hilary Swank's character to frick off when she found out that he was a she (and was absolutely involved in the r*pe/murder to a certain degree)

The pacing has been too slow.
The show writers are trying to add their own layer of interpretation on top of everything that GRRM has already laid out.
Mysaria already had a solid backstory in the book, the lesbian stuff just feels unnecessary. Mysaria being loyal to Rhaenys because she fully believes she would be a good leader is more meaningful than her staying loyal because they've touched each others kitties.

They don't know how to write friendships without making them sexual. Look how redditors (the show-runners and writers share the reddity mentality) treat every portrayal of a strong friendship between people of the same s*x.
Always sounds like something a middle-schooler would say.
It's inconceivable to them that two men (or two women) can love each other and care for one another like brothers without being sexually attracted. Some examples are the fan-fics about Frodo and Sam or every time Patroclus is brought up.

It's just unabashed pandering as a result of the casting decisions.
Since Emma Darcy is a theythem bisexual, they know they are pulling in a LGBT audience.
There has to be some justification for Mysaria becoming Rhaenyra's most trusted advisor, so they took their opportunity to inject a gay romance as just that.
However, in bowing to the strag audience, they simultaneously destroy the potentially strong feminist message of "mutual respect and trust between two women who have both been overlooked, but bring great knowledge and value to the realm".

I think the guy who played the king in the first season kind of carried it. None of the characters left are likeable at all, they clearly try to push the audience to the wanna be Queen but I don't think it's really working considering her side is filled with psychopathic buttholes as well. Tbh the eye patch kid is being presented as bad, but seems the best suited.

The gay kiss at the end seemed more like they were trying to preemptively add a scene to the episode so they could blame bad reviews in that rather than for being so boring.
I liked the first season but this season really feels like it's dragging
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Idk I find it better than the first season because it is getting down to the core of what makes GRRM's writing interesting - the intrigue. As the dance is only told through grrm's fake history book which contradicts itself on purpose as a narrative device I'm fine with the show being different, but I think they're getting the tone of what makes it good correct unlike dumb and dumber who just turned asoiaf into cgi dragons and big battles, so it's great for being mostly original but staying true to the tone of the author. It's supposed to be a plodding fantasy soap opera inspired by the wars of the roses, not a chronicle of battles and the mainstream reviews and brand tattoo wearing redditards still seem drunk on the last half of game of thrones.
When the dunk and egg show comes out you'll probably see the same thing too and there's NO dragons in that and barely anyone dies
Anyway I can excuse the lezzing because it's in character for raenera since her entire life has been a search for affection and myseria expressed true admiration for her as a person, not as a ruler or even as a targ and of course raenera has psychosexual problems so that's how she manifests it
Idk I read all the published works before the tv show as they were published and some while deployed I loved it for being a gripping story that was mostly mystery and words and stuff mixed with some weird shit. I still contend that daemon losing his shit to his guilt led by alys rivers is the most GRRMlkke writing in all of the adaptations

Sappho was a "lesbian icon" who wrote poetry about gay s*x with women (and also straight s*x with men but who cares irrelevant detail haha) so homosexual women from the gay movement in 70s America started calling themselves "lesbians", the denonym of the people of Lesbos, because foids need to be special and have their own word (but not the people of Lesbos frick them)
