However, before the official analysis (spit) and analysis (groove), I have to talk about things first and explain my views on the finale and the final season: "Game of Thrones" is doomed to be unfinished, which is when the fifth season gradually departs from the original. It's doomed, but it deserves a more popular and gentle ending - in all fairness, the ending and destination of this episode are not bad, it could have told a tragic and poignant story... However, in the rushing, cramming narrative Under the content and rhythm, no matter how good the scriptures are, they will be wrongly recited, especially after the two episodes of E4 and E5, they are even more powerless, even if they change to a more exciting ending.
As a kind-hearted person, I have never blamed 2DB too much before. After all, Binghuo's work is too grand, even the original author Martin himself can't control it, let alone two of them shooting Game of Thrones TV series. Writer of...
But after thinking about it, the cliff-like "scribbles" in the eighth season are not only a question of ability, but also a question of attitude. Everyone doesn't see traces of their efforts at all, so the audience doesn't blame them, but who should be blamed?
[The official analysis of the finale begins below, and I believe that people who see it here don’t care about spoilers. 】
The opening of this episode continues the tone at the end of the previous episode: "Dragon Queen" Daenerys is tyrannical and unworthy to be king.
The first is through the perspective of Tyrion and others, showing the ruins and corpses of King's Landing - killing innocents indiscriminately, this is the first crime ;
Secondly, the failure to stop Grey Worm through Jon shows that Daenerys and her army are too murderous - wantonly killing and surrendering after victory, this is the second crime .
After Tyrion found the bodies of Jaime and Cersei, he was in pain, and added "family hatred" on the basis of "people's hatred" . This is not a crime, but it affects the trend of the subsequent plot.
But the first two counts alone are enough to put Daenerys on the opposite side of the "popular": what happened in King's Landing was a disaster, no one was happy, only the Dothraki , The Unsullied and Drogon are celebrating the victory of the Mother of Dragons (said the army is fighting more and more, is this playing an RTS game).
The scorched earth queen is the scorched earth queen... This is not enough, the screenwriter has to add more drama to her .
Now, in Daenerys' view, only those who came to Westeros with her from Essos are loyal confidants, and after praising them and rewarding them, she suddenly revived: we not only want to "liberate" Westeros Luo, but also to liberate the people of the world.
Isn't your ideal to rule the Seven Kingdoms, why did you upgrade so much all of a sudden? Under the "crime of wanting to be added", Daenerys has another three counts of militancy.
The angry Tyrion, at the most glorious moment of Daenerys, made a rude remark, and threw the Prime Minister's brooch in public, threw it...
For such a public slap in the face of treason, it is not too much for Daenerys to bake Tyrion directly on the spot, but she still arrests and then deals with it. I want to say that the Queen is already very kind, you Westeros people are really good. strict.
Seeing the Queen escort the renegade Prime Minister away, and Arya slipping up to Jon looking like she's going to assassinate Daenerys, she has a reason.
"You are always a threat to her. She is so murderous that God knows when she will kill you." - With a bloodthirsty nature, it is very likely that she will "kill the hero without authorization", which is the fourth crime.
Next, Jon came to see the scene of Tyrion and it was wonderful. Tyrion, who had been paddling continuously and mentally handicapped for three seasons, seemed to have recovered his heyday when he "flicked" Jon.
First say that you "deserved" to arouse Jon's sympathy;
Then I mentioned that the queen will not stop the war, and the successive victories will only make her more and more confident + self-willed, which highlights Jon's hidden worries;
Then he compared his heart to his heart, and after breaking Jon's heart defense, he immediately used the word "love" to appease and win over him, and began to guide Jon's heart to "evil thoughts" by secretly changing the concept;
Of course, Jon would definitely not be able to accept such a rebellious idea at this time, and Tyrion continued to confuse him with murder in the name of "protecting the people and protecting yourself";
Having said so much, Jon still looks like he will let it go, and also said, "Even so, I will accept my fate, and everything will be decided by the Queen"...
Before Jon leaves, Tyrion offers the most lethal reason: What about your sisters? They won't surrender (it can be seen that Tyrion's ability to "see people" is still there, the only problem is that he doesn't seem to really help Daenerys, so you are an undercover?)...
This sentence became the last straw that broke Jon, who originally wanted to obey only, but now he decided to go to the queen for an explanation.
The scene where Daenerys walks into the ruins of the Throne Hall corresponds to what she saw in the Hall of Immortality in the second season. It turns out that it is not (only) snowflakes falling from the sky, but (more) the ashes of King's Landing...
It's a pity that I only had time to touch the Iron Throne, which was beaten so hard, and was interrupted by Jon before I could sit on it—
Jon's first words doomed the conversation to fail: Daenerys was happily telling the story of the Iron Throne, but Jon poured a bucket of cold water and said, "The Unsullied are killing prisoners! You! Don't you care?" Nine and a half out of ten women probably won't be able to speak well, Daenerys is still willing to explain, it's really graceful.
Well, it's reasonable to be reasonable, but Jon doesn't know what "be careful" means , Daenerys talks to you about the way of being a king, and you keep talking about benevolence, it's the most brainless and rude The "forgive everyone" thing, including the pardon of Tyrion, who is a blatant rebellion, how can you let Daenerys talk about it...
I'm sure Daenerys really loves Jon , this nephew has done so many stupid and bad things, she is still willing to paint him a beautiful vision of the future, and even willing to conquer and rule with him... Only by being loved Only a woman in a daze can do it.
On the other hand, how Jon responded to his lover: still put on that embarrassed face, said "you will always be my queen", and then stabbed Daenerys to death in the kiss.
poignant? Tragic? I 'm sorry, none of them exist. The performance of the drama, no matter how you look at it, is that the big scumbag Jon crosses the river and demolishes the bridge.
This scene is also the focus of audience dissatisfaction with the eighth season, because it goes against our simple and universal emotional cognition: Westeros only think of Daenerys when they need to fulfill their obligations, etc. After they were used up, they abandoned them immediately. They never recognized her as a queen. So many previous "crimes" were more like killing her at this moment. In the absence of a foreshadowing process, Daenerys Tanger Lean's death only exposed the ingratitude of the Westeros (screenwriters), not conscience.
If Jon really loved Daenerys, he should have killed himself now, or offered Drogon to burn himself... but he said nothing.
What can Drogon do? He is also very helpless. He doesn't want to burn the only "cheap cousin" left in the world, so he can only vent his anger with the Iron Throne ...
"Damn broken chair, because of you, my mother is so confused to death" or "My mother can't sit on this chair, and no one wants to sit on it" or "It's your broken chair that stabbed my mother to death?!" or "My mother likes this chair, so hurry up and burn it for her"...
To be honest, Daenerys is not my favorite character in Game of Thrones, but at this moment, I really feel bad for her (Drogon flew away with her body as a last thought).
The next "Judgment of King's Landing + King Selection" is called the most absurd and strange game of Thrones ever. Jon, who feels that he has a "protagonist halo" to protect his body, admits that he killed the queen without any evidence .
As Grey Worm, unmoved by the bountiful reward (the Reach), said, they don't want rewards, they want justice :
After Daenerys was killed by the traitor, as the only canonized official of the Dragon Queen and the actual master of King's Landing, Grey Worm has every reason to take over the power, and does not need to wait for the Westeros to come to trial together, even if he admits to himself. It's a soldier/servant who doesn't want to rule, there's nothing wrong with killing Jon to avenge Daenerys, the Unsullied and the Dothraki are not afraid of war, they'll only fight, after the death of their only loyal queen, even if they don't want revenge, They must be afraid that the locals will poison their outsiders... The result is that there has been no war or friction until now .
Look good, Westeros' most powerful gibberish is online again - Grey Worm won't let the sinner Tyrion speak at all, but Tyrion insists that only the King or Queen of Westeros is qualified to judge him, but now Victoria Stroh doesn't have a king or queen, OK, then choose one on the spot... The honest gray bug really agreed.
In such a situation where no one is suitable, Edmure Tully actually volunteered to stand up...
After confirming that he was not joking, I laughed angrily: Edmure was just a little straight and a little stupid, but now he is completely stupid, he has been a prisoner since the bloody wedding, and it is all thanks to his nephew and niece's family. To be the Duke of Riverrun again, where did his face come from...
After the scene was embarrassed for a while, Sam, the night watchman in black, made a "big stride" and proposed to let the people be the masters of the country.
The ideal is full, the reality is very skinny, and it is clear from the sneering of all the other nobles (note all) that Sam's ideas are whimsical.
Well, you can't choose one, right, so let me choose one for you-how about Bran Stark, the "Three-Eyed Raven" who can inherit and share the story of the entire human history?
what? ! You are not allowed to speak, why are you the one who proposed the election and nominated the candidate? The person being tried is qualified to choose the way of trial and even recommend a judge? Then Tyrion said "Bran is the wheel that Daenerys wants to break, Bran can't have children, and future kings will have to be elected", Grey Worm, you agree again?
Last time Bran bluntly said that he didn't want Winterfell, but this time Bran was honest and rude. He didn't even bother to act humbly, and stated directly: I came to King's Landing only to be a king.
There are only two criteria for daring to love "Game of Thrones". One is that the more you don't want it, the more you have to give it to you.
Obviously, Bran is an unsatisfactory choice that everyone can accept. After a little hesitation, everyone agreed with this idea. After a circle of aya, Sansa, who should support her brother the most, suddenly became a demon...
The North has made too many sacrifices, and we must be independent - it turns out that "independence" is not an excuse for Sansa to oppose Daenerys, she, she, she is really here? Back then, it was not a good idea for Robb to be called king. Now that Bran is on the throne, what about the independence of the North? What's the benefit, not paying taxes, or just wanting to be a queen and having fun? Bran actually agreed?
You look so ugly, what do the Iron Islands and Dornish people who have always wanted independence think?
The Targaryen family launched the "Conqueror's War" and a major historical achievement during its reign was to achieve the unification of Westeros , and the seven kingdoms were no longer independent. Well, Bran, you haven't become king yet, It took half of the territory of Westeros to be taken out first. This cowardly operation made people lose their temper... In the end, everyone ignored it and still regarded Bran as king.
There are five or six unknown faces at this meeting, but it doesn't matter, as long as you know the forces they represent - you noticed, the main body of the meeting still continued Robert's political fundamentals during the "Usurper War", That is, the "Wolf Deer Eagle Fish" alliance, Yara, Grey Worm, and Dornish people who are on the side of the Dragon Queen can't speak at all.
As for Gendry, who was canonized as the Duke of Storm's End by the Dragon Queen, he didn't speak out of "closeness", and Sam couldn't represent the Reach that was thrown aside and ravaged by this small group.
Therefore, this seemingly sacred and solemn king election is actually a loot-sharing meeting to steal and divide the fruits of Daenerys' revolution (the Dragon Queen helped Westeros defend against the legion of the dead and end Cersei's rule, and she was arrested by stabbed to death, her supporters have no power) , but it is so high-sounding, it can only be said that the people of Westeros are as hypocritical as Tyrion Lannister today.
Before the new king was elected, the northern border became independent. After the new king was elected, the first decree was to let Tyrion "condemn his crimes" and serve as his prime minister...
... you two already colluded, right?
I believe that Tyrion is a smart person . He can't think twice. He can still be Prime Minister after many kings and queens. OK!
Under the self-directed and self-directed performances of Tyrion and Bran's "planning", Grey Worm is their opponent , and it is extremely difficult to execute prisoners now.
"You people of Westeros have too many routines, we can only go back to the countryside of Essos."
Two traitors who betrayed Daenerys, one became the Prime Minister of the King of the Six Kingdoms, and the other was exiled to the north to live happily. This is what the Dragon Queen's supporters can achieve. The disappointed Grey Worm leads the Unsullied. Leaving Westeros with the Dothraki and going home, to Missandei's hometown is the final destination for him.
Why did the grey worm that Flag stood up and flew up to live to the end? The sad truth is that if he were dead, there would be no voice for the Unsullied and the Dothraki, but that still wouldn't change the fact that they were just "war figures", not One by one, fresh people come and go when they call them. They have been let down like the Dragon Queen, but in the end they don't even have the right to anger and uphold justice.
Jon was sent to the Great Wall of Impasse again in this way - so what kind of organization is the "Night Watch Legion" now? Peacekeepers to manage savages and border affairs, outpost troops to guard against the rise of the White Walkers, or prisons that simply hold prisoners in exile?
It is necessary to know that the Night's Watch Legion has been looked down upon and only appeared in the past few hundred years. Now they should be rectified, restored to their former glory, and respected by people, so Jon is not exiled but to accept gifts? ...Tyrion's remarks make me completely confused as to how the Night's Watch is being positioned now, and no matter how I think about it, I'm "slapped in the face".
Watching Jon say goodbye to his three younger siblings before leaving King's Landing, I can only sigh: Ned Izumi is afraid that he will come back to life. , in the future, it will be changed to "one can't be too Stark" .
An ungrateful scumbag who doesn't understand anything, a simple and rude queen who divides the country, a king who conspires and reverses theft, Arya probably doesn't want to join forces with her brothers and sisters, so she wants to go out to sea and become an explorer yes...
In fact, Arya's desire to explore the sea of sunset is not without foundation. In the sixth season, she once told Mrs. Klein , who had rescued each other, about it.
The Sunset Sea is the end of the world map. After clearing the revenge list, Arya should also find a new life goal for herself. To realize her fantasy with another "family" is better than staying in the smoky West. Hello Lo.
King's Landing has a new leadership team, and Kings Guard Captain Brienne is the first to appear.
He inherited Jaime's position and responsibilities, and wrote the rest of his life on the White Code for the previous generation (rightly) Captain of the Iron Guard, Jaime Lannister, as a final conclusion for that (complicated) man.
The "Song of Ice and Fire " that was "decided" was finally written, and everyone had a hunch about it, but there is no need to say more...
It's just that there is no Tyrion's name in this book, seriously? A magical dwarf who has been with the new king "broken" Bran for eight seasons and can still be the prime minister. He doesn't even have a place in the history books. Are you nerds in the academy out of shame?
Then, the royal meeting of the grass-top team ushered in the king, and Bran said a cold joke: We still lack the Minister of Intelligence, the Minister of Justice, and the Minister of War.
The "Three-Eyed Raven" still needs an intelligence chief? The weirwood of King's Landing hasn't been planted yet, isn't it convenient for you to cast spells? After saying that he would go to Drogon, he let the iron guard Podrick push him away. This wave of presence was good. It seems that Bran is really a king who pays attention to "doing nothing", the old god Faith is about to be restored in the South~
Why do you say that this imperial meeting is a grass stage team ? Because none of the five people at the scene could completely convince the crowd.
There is no need to say more about Tyrion, there is a slave with the surname N, and the people of Westeros have no good impression of him (now he has lost all the goodwill in the audience), so it is a hidden danger for him to continue to be the prime minister;
The Duke of Highgarden, Treasurer of the Reach, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Ser Bronn of the Blackwater (as expected of no one in the Reach), the only reason I can think of for a mercenary like him in such an important role is that the royal family can owe money If you don't pay it back, then continue to pluck the wool of the rich estuary;
Brienne had sworn to Caitlin to guard her daughter, but now she's changed to guard her son. Even if Sansa made her re-swear, she broke her oath, not to mention she's still a woman, in the conservative West. Luo asked her to be the captain of the Iron Guard, and the "reaction" can be imagined;
Relatively speaking, Davos, the sea minister, is the most worthy of his name, the only shortcoming is that many old nobles look down on him;
As for Sam, the bachelor, I can't figure it out. Isn't he a dropout who stole banned books and fled the city without authorization? How did he become a master of King's Landing? The back door openly opened by King Bran? Also, even if you become a bachelor, why don't you go to Castle Black instead of King's Landing? Isn't the Night's Watch still there?
It can be seen that under the rule of "The Disabled" Bran, Westeros, who has "broken rituals and music", must not be at peace for long...
The only comfort in this episode is probably that Jon, who has returned to Castle Black, touches and hugs Bai Ling again, but this kind of "compensation" is now useless.
When the BGM sounded in the final stage, the Stark family, which once made countless people sympathize and love, ushered in a new atmosphere :
Arya Stark entered the sea of sunset all the way west, hoping to cross the ocean to open up the boundaries of the world, and became a generation of nautical kings ;
Sansa Stark was dressed in Chinese clothes, crowned with a crown, and sat on the throne surrounded by the ministers of the North, becoming a new generation of the Queen of the North ;
Jon Snow wore a black robe and took the wild people back outside the Great Wall. The green grass sprouted, indicating that spring was coming, and this "prisoner" easily became the king outside the wall.
"Game of Thrones" is over like this ... I seriously suspect that Lao Ma is using the "self-destructive eight hundred" method to promote his new book "A Song of Ice and Fire (Volume VI): The Winds of Winter"- — if he could write it and publish it.
