I like to think that the iron throne cuts everyone, severity of the cut might change but everyone who sits in it or stands near it gets nicked. The throne cutting everyone would go from âthis ONE person isnât a good rulerâ to no one is a good ruler, and that the throne is a bad thing to want. Having the throne cut people more than ones we view as a bad ruler also makes it so it can showcases how power corrupts and hurts people no matter their status.
My other old hobby horse on the GoT topic is that the showâs quality dip is way earlier than people remember - Season 4 was actually pretty shaky! It has high moments but also real missteps around characters like Tyrion. Nothing that wouldnât be smoothed out if the rest of the show was good, of course, but Season 5 is awful, almost as bad as Season 8. Season 6 is...better? As a standalone season its a tepid improvement, but as an adaptation of the books its insulting and as a set-up for future plot points and events its a house of cards. Its definitely not good, 5/10 maybe. Season 7 sucks of course, and Season 8 is just a comedic joy ride along the roads of incompetence, hubris, and downfall at time-dilating speeds.Â
I was beating the âhey GoT kindof sucks nowâ drum all the way back in Season 5, but it was very lonely then. The world pivoting to your side was nice in 2019, donât get me wrong, but its still a little sad how it erased any hope of a critical re-evaluation; Season 8 was so monstrously bad that no one feels the need to look back farther. GoT does suck now! Everyone agrees, why bother looking back? So it remains a show âruinedâ by its final season, as opposed to that final season being a culmination of all the previously sucky seeds sown by what preceded it.
I guess I donât keep up with GoT discourse today though, maybe it has come around?
Ah yes, the crazy foreign woman and the hyper violent brown savages decide to massacre poor innocent (mostly white) people when peaceful surrender was all but assured because theyâre just âlike thatâ and itâs definitely not the fault of the misogyny and racism of the white male writers weâve been drowning in emmys for a decade for all their other sexist and racist and hackneyed bullshit
I get annoyed when I see some people say that Sansa was âredeemedâ in the show.
Mainly because itâs like 1) what exactly was she being redeemed from? Yes she was spoiled, often rude, and hyper focused on Joffrey and marriage but like... she was just a young kid. Her behavior was pretty typical for a child that age and she was also taught that her âjobâ is to have an advantageous marriage and bring heirs and then she was thrown into a scary, that rapidly turned into a extremely traumatic, situation. So her thoughts and actions are completely consistent with this. One could say her POV was annoying during this time but her being painted as some villain to begin with seems like a misunderstanding of her character and age.
And then 2) I have issues with her story being framed in this sort of positive, girl power narrative. Where we are in the books, Sansa has been deeply traumatized and broken in many respects. I remember in one chapter where she is commenting on how pure the snow is and how she doesnât belong there anymore since she is no longer an innocent. For me, it comes off as extremely tragic, not positive or something that âneeded to happenâ. It didnât need to happen, she wouldâve been totally fine if she grew up in more normal circumstances, and I think thatâs a big point of the books. The horrors and trauma that was inflicted on Sansa, Arya and most of the characters, especially the children, is brutal, tragic and ultimately unnecessary, just like the war theyâre stuck in.

âSansa Stark is the only character who is a real girl and represents what real girls go through.â
Iâm really... really sick of seeing these kind of posts. All girls are girls. Dirty girls. Servant girls. Girls who have fire in their eyes. Girls who fight with swords and daggers. Girls who want to be knights. Girls who are manipulative and cunning. Girls who ride dragons. Girls who prefer tunic and riding pants over dresses. Girls who want to be Queens. Girls who want to be farmers. Girls who curse. Girls who laugh loudly and obnoxiously. Girls who dress less feminine. Girls who donât care for romance. Girls who crave romance. Girls who burp, slurp their food and play in the mud. Girls who use their sexuality to get what they want. Girls who use their body as a means to survive. Girls who befriend poor children, servant girls and butchers boys. Girls who survive extreme trauma. Girls who have nothing left but the faith in themselves to strive on. Girls who are spiteful and hateful. Girls who are unhinged.
Not all girls are frilly dresses, sunshine and smiles who dream about romance, fairytales and hate mud. While there is nothing wrong with that particular kind of girl either, there is no such thing as a âreal girlâ. All girls are girls. Stop saying that Sansa Stark is the only female character in a song of ice and fire who represents âreal girls.â Thatâs your shaped idea of what a girl should be and quite frankly itâs pretty sexist.
Ok Dany anon I'm not answering anymore your asks because you literally sent in 3 asks saying basically the same thing but all written differently so you've clogged up my ask box just to say nothing of substances that couldn't have been said in one ask. I'd have no reason to answer all individually because my point would still be the same, the addition of Wild Fire IN THAT EPISODE would not improve it in anyway, your idea of how it would still show her going mad would not be easily portrayed in television, the producers for all their faults likely realised this and removed it for that reason so please shut the fuck up and stop spamming my ask box.

If I have to hear one more story about Rhae*, Vis*, Aeg*, Mae*, or Dan* Targaryen im gonna fucking flip I swear to god. It's the same story as every colonizing country and it's not interesting nor new and creative. I could read about the Conquistadors and get the same story. Or the history of England. Honestly if GRRM wanted to write the War of Roses, I highkey wish he'd just written historical fiction and we could've avoided all of... this.
* because literally the entire history of house Targaryen revolves around these five prefixes with different affixes tacked on
