What exactly was the point of this guy?
A lazy climate change metaphor
Cliffhanger generator
He's circumcised
>GRRM : We don’t need any more Dark Lords, we don’t need any more, ‘Here are the good guys, they’re in white, there are the bad guys, they’re in black. And also, they’re really ugly, the bad guys.
>Night King is just an evil Dark Lord
Bravo George
There was no point. D&D are richer now, that's the point.
Dumb and Dumber made the night king
The old conflict of "the others", could be interpretated as communism if it was a 60's american movie/tv show
We are all fighting each other over some stupid shit, while the real enemy is outside, etc
In the books, The Others are a total mystery with unique language and technology. They aren't ice mummies.
Maario Naharis
Meant "the others" as in general otherness, not as in "the others" in the books
mentioned in a legend/story in the books by Old Nan as the first Night's Watch Commander. Nothing more. I doubt this character will even been in the books that'll never come out
A blue herring
based demented maario naharis poster
The golden ticket for the faggot brothers to get a $40 million cash deal from Netflix. Biggest scam artists of all time.
>night king
>grrm
retard
The point of a zombie king was to appeal to the walking dead crowd
yes d&d are that retarded
it’s been 5-6 years since i read the books and i only ever watched S1 but these guys were different than the white walkers right? i thought there were two threats beyond the wall and i remember that old wrinkly ass white guy with the long hair in the beginning of the show but did the show just combine the two baddies into whatever this guy was? weren’t there zombies or some shit
I know. It’s really sad what this series became.
Except theyre space elves in the book not ice zombies
and Globalism
>we all must come together as one
the real enemy is on the inside you fucking brainlet
a red herring, except D&D dropped all the cool shit from GRRM because it was "too gay" or whatever. same reason everyone wheres grimdark armor
What's this nigga up to in the books?
Pretty much the same point as everything that they added that isn't in the books. Terrible writing.
Bran and Gendry and Rickon and Joffrey and Tommen and Jojen and Dickon and Lancel and Loras and Robin are relentlessly handsome.
>space elves
>blocked by a wall
Why didnt they just fly over the wall
>Only an overly dramatic teenage girl that looks down with the syndrome can defeat it
In the books the White Walkers are beautiful serene creatures that are all completely uniform and hard to comprehend, they create wights to fuck with people for whatever reason.
In the show the White Walkers are just weirder looking zombies and they also create wights to fuck with people. They probably thought the audience would be too dumb to understand, or something, and just made all the white walkers look like zombies.
no, he was supposed to be death that's coming to us all. don't remember which D said that in one of those inside the episode clips
if trips then winds will be out this year
Except there is no literal night king in the books you dumb shit. The only night king character was some sort of urban legend of a guy who feel in love with an other or something don’t really remember honestly
fuuuck next year then ok
Global warming
also Benjen isn't Coldhands either, D&D went straight fan fiction
GRRM is gonna die of bat flu and you'll never get to know how it ends.
last try
I've read better fanfics in /got/ generals lol how did they mess up so bad? like really? are they mentally retarded?
>we're just gonna make a show that WE would wanna watch
top jej
>the horse(writing) can't take the both of us, I'll stay here and die for no reason.
What the fuck was the point of bringing him back and instantly killing him?
tying up loose ends in the worst way possible
Same reason they killed off little finger in the most retarded because he was too smart of a character for the writers to handle
u mad
Kek
Bloodcraven is pretty much the nk
In the book the "Other" (White Walkers) are vaguely made out to be a commentary on how things that precede human civilization can come and hit hard, and when it does it won´t give a shit about casualities and how much sorrow it causes. So its kind of a vague jab at climate change and natural disaster with the scope of the "Long Night" that follows the Other.
Problem is halfway through the show, the writers realized that an implicit message would fly over audiences heads and leave them disatisfied from the build-up, as everything needs to be boiled down to black-and-white morality and the overall message must be utterable in a political slogan
also Its easier to swallow supernatural evil if there is an evil mastermind behind it
What did they mean by this?
depends, did they film it after s8 aired?
this
they are the fantasy version of an ice age
could have been something interesting but the writers were trash
to be the ultimate Egg MacGuffin
D&D didn't create White Walkers. GRRM meant for them to be a climate change metaphor.
Game of Thrones is actually a Westworld-style themepark. The standard scenario used to be mostly focused on Westeros, but then the daughter of a top-level executive insisted on having her will and getting her own saviour-complex story line. Daenerys' whole story was a ramshackle on the spot improvisation to make a petulant daddy's girl happy.
AHHH ARYA NOOOO IM SORRY
>t. wikifag
The Others aren't described as ugly. They are literally the fae of the Winter court. So more likely than not they are very beautiful. Also White Walker women are apparently so beautiful that human men abandon everything to chase them. Also Night King is only mentioned in the legend and isn't a character.
Littlefineger hasn't been smart in the show since season 2. They tried to make him seem smart all the while making him do the most retarded things possible
nothing. he doesn't exist in the books
What's the driving force behind the white walkers in the book?
They're a metaphor for the Trisolarians
>that could've been Jamie killing the Night King
It's not fair bros.
Yeah basically.
If the past few weeks haven't changed your mind about that, then you're probably paid to sow discord.
It's a mistery because GRRM can only write good concepts and not satisfying resolutions.
this is the only reason I have even opened this thread
We the readers do not know. They're barely mentioned in the books.
