He/him. Talks a lot about movies & TV. Usually the ones involving dragons. Views are my own; RT not an endorsement.

#HOTD Season 3 overall - generally pretty good! About a 7/10. Better overall than S2 but there’s several creative choices that stopped me loving it. While I don’t agree with all his points, I do understand why GRRM distanced himself from the show.

Ep-by-ep thoughts here:

[Avacarni @Avacarni]

#HOTD 3x01 - Really good, but unfortunately a tad underwhelming.

Pros:
- Intro to Ormund/Winter Wolves
- Aegon and Larys road trip
- The Gullet (mostly)
- Sheepstealer

Cons:
- Choppy editing
- Rhaenyra getting locked in was dumb as hell
- Alicent. Just… Alicent.

[Macavity @Macavit25431185]

"Rhaenyra will do what she has to do and what she has to do will be dire" will imo be addressed to Aemond. After Helaena's prophecy he's scared to go to Harrenhal and Alicent manipulates him into going to fulfill her deal with Rhaenyra

I mean, I don’t agree, but you absolutely can lol.

Can I not say Firefly is better than Buffy the Vampire Slayer because it only ran for 14 episodes as opposed to 144?

[Top of the Hill @supersaiyansil]

@JimmyClarke__ Yall gotta stop this nonsense. You can’t compare a show that ONLY had 6 30 minute episodes to two shows with multiple seasons. Then to say it’s greater is ridiculous.

I’m ngl Season 3 really seemed to forget that Season 2 Gwayne was almost as deeply classist and narcissistic as Ormund

Rupert Grint has joined the cast of “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” on Broadway, where he'll play an adult version of his iconic role as Ron Weasley.

The actor will appear on Broadway from Feb. 2 to May 30, 2027.

The worst part of this scene is that they reveal Bran is a temporal time traveller only for him to never use this ability again

[Slip Maker @SlipMaker]

“Episode 5 was amazing because of the Hodor scene” it’s been a decade we can all stop pretending we’re taking it seriously now

[Avacarni @Avacarni]

This is somewhat out of my usual wheelhouse but I rewatched The Wrestler for the first time in 7-8 years or so and it still hits like an emotional freight train. Great character study and Mickey Rourke losing the Best Actor Oscar is a travesty. I cried three times.

[House of the Dragon News @HOTDNewsHBO]

Is season 6 Game of Thrones the best season of any show EVER?

[Josephine (👻) @JosephineDocma]

Something that in the first film took less than 20 minutes and stretching it to a hour or so has been the template of so much streaming slop. This show will make Chris fucking Columbus look like an economic filmmaker

[💫Tribe 13X 🔻 💫 @B00K0FTRIBE]

Days of future past is fire but it’s a sequel to x-men movies that don’t exist lol

[Avacarni @Avacarni]

When I tell you I would burn the HBO offices to the ground if this happened

[Macavity @Macavit25431185]

Part of me wonders if Daeron is even showing up in S4 because I can see the thematic case for an ambiguous fate. This idea of a boy, a stranger to his family, pulled in different directions by everyone around him then lost to the histories. Rip Daeron we hardly even knew ye etc

[Avacarni @Avacarni]

Man, bad enough that he agreed to do it in the audiobooks, he willingly agreed to do it again? Shows you where his priorities lie I suppose

‘Lanterns’ EP Damon Lindelof Claims Nobody Wants Adaptations Faithful to the Source Material

“As a consumer and as someone who’s making this stuff, there’s almost a responsibility to take risks. I don’t think anybody wants to see you be completely and totally vigilant to the source material because then it isn’t an adaptation at all. Shouldn’t we be beyond this conversation by now?” -Damon Lindelof

[Avacarni @Avacarni]

Oh Mr Lindelof, you truly underestimate the voracity of the average comic book reader (or IP fan in general tbh).

[Alexander Thatcher @ThatchEffendi]

This broke the show. There was no coming back. It did not make sense at the moment and it ruined multiple plotlines. There was almost no way to recover from it.
