I often get annoyed at films that depict tribes/groups that primarily use bows and arrows next to ones that have mastered gunpowder and field musket and cannon.

>Antagonists are devoutly religious
>magic and the supernatural are dying/fading away and being replaced by industry/technology
>battle is just a bunch of close shots of main characters cutting down dozens of guys each until they finally meet for a 1v1 where the good guy wins
Or "everyone is le cynic and doesnt genuinely believe in any spirituality"
Game of Thrones is guilty of this. All the main characters dont seem to actually believe in anything, meanwhile Medieval people would lose their shit if they didnt confess or attend a mass.
Game of Thrones is a reflection of GRRM's fedora worldview that any principles or idealism are stupid and cynicism is the privilege of the smart.
>protagonist is a Christian preacher that strangles people with his prayer beads
It’s why the religion aspect of ASOIAF is so bad, it’s half assed and generic
