@paloma_datgirl This dragon had squished hundreds of innocents at the coronation. These smallfolk should have been partying in the streets and lining up to spit on it. This was the Westerosi equivalent of parading Bin Laden’s head through Manhattan.
@EnglLibertarian@nonregemesse I think it’s kinda meant to be almost comically edgy and tryhard, that’s Aerion’s character. He’s the Shadow The Hedgehog of the Targaryens.
@ManuclearBomb Stephen Dillane too, even though he reportedly didn’t much enjoy his time on set and didn’t understand his character (which ironically just made him an even better Stannis)
@VashKohime I really liked him in Blade Runner 2049, but who knows if he was even acting. Being a rich megalomaniac with delusions of grandeur is his default setting.
@paranoidown I wish so badly they hadn’t made him a rapist. It would’ve made things SO much more interesting if he was just a reluctant failson with no animosity towards Rhaenyra at the start of the Dance. But no, have him rape a maid so the general audience aren’t conflicted at all 🥱
@franzsherbert Always amused me how they made a spectator sport out of it. No screens or magical projections of what the competitors were doing or anything, you’re just sat there staring at the entrance to a maze. How agonisingly dull.
@Gumboglumpens@LambentLucien@PeaceEmm16 And that’s not to say Andor is some galaxy-brained show only the sharpest of minds will get - it’s VERY accessible - it just requires you to actually pay attention. The fact that even that is too much for so many vocal Star Wars fans is a damning light cast on the fandom.
@Gumboglumpens@LambentLucien@PeaceEmm16 Yes, 100%. I’m yet to see a single criticism of Andor that boils down to anything more than the watcher lashing out in fear at not instantly fully comprehending a show that requires you to actually look up from your phone.
@MeklordPrime@shhianna @zieikon 2 minutes of silence then an obnoxious loud noise is startling not scary, big difference. Like yeah technically it’ll make you jump but it’s kinda cheap.
