The unpopular opinions thread.

Same. Well, mine is on the PS3 but I am yet to play it. I've heard it's really good though, just not gotten around to it ever since I've upgraded to my PS4 .

GoT has the shittiest universe and story imaginable.

The problem with the show is that it surpassed the books and the shows writers don't have enough of GRRM's writing to go by, they only have ideas of where he intends to go.  Last season should've followed Winds of Winter, but that book hasn't come out yet, and the season before that was supposed to be from  A Dance With Dragons, but again there was a bit of a lag with that one because GRRM was having a problem with Dany's story. I'm looking foward to next season because *fingers crossed* I'm hoping Arya will be reunited with Nymeria her direwolf.

Cluster bombs are good.

And great.

There are only supposed to be two more books the the present storyline anyway, so just 2 more seasons...but I think he may be working on a prequal...I have checked up on it in awhile. But I agree that the material done by GRRM was a lot better than the later seasons...but they have done a good job considering the circumstances.

I hope that isn't the case, but with thway fans have reacted, I wouldn't blame him. I'm pretty sure Winds of Winter is almost ready to come out, so I'm thinking he probably will finish off the series.

I basically gave up on it. It started being very stale and lost its touch with Season 4. I felt like it was going somewhere before that. There's this thing with stories that when you remove a constant (and every story has constants, like Reapers in Mass Effect) it's the end of the story because the conflict is resolved.

That constant ultimately would be White Walkers for GoT, but nobody feels attatched to White Walkers or care emotionally. We care about our characters and their rivalries and friendships, and to me 
Tyrion needs his daddy to have an interesting conflict, Jaime needs Cersei, AND his dad IMO, and their son IMO. That goes all across the board. The more you lose in the story the thinner the emotional resonance to the remainder of it becomes, and perhaps if the show did anything to show awareness of this factor it could've been brilliant but it doesn't do that. It keeps on building up to a dramatic and sometimes even just contrived and farcical culmination (like Season 6 episode 10) that then removes something from the story rather than resolving it.

If there was a point or a message about the show I think I realized it halfway into season 4 and it's been stagnating ever since. The only surprise that may remain is what will actually happen once the White Walkers invade Westeros completely and what will actually happen them. I told my friend I think the ending is going to be that they invade and everyone dies because we're too busy making our game of thrones roundabout until half the cast is dead and the next generation takes over the race. The show is basically about the cycle of society the way I see it and the White Walkers are just the typical omniprescent force that symbolically ends the conflict. They're the driving force of everything, a macguffin, else and when they invade and kill everyone or get defeated the show is over.

Warm beer isn't so bad.

The big problem I have with the show now is how rushed things are. Characters are exactly where they need to be and events are happening exactly when they need to with no buildup. There's also a lot of plot required stupidity and examples of the show people writing themselves into corners and clumsily writing their way out of them, like with

I could talk about this some more but I don't wanna clutter up the thread with GOT trash talk haha.

I hope you're right but it seems like Winds of Winter *should* have released a dozen times by now and as the show gets more and more ahead of the books it's concerning.
