Game of Thrones Didn't Fall Off in Later Seasons

1•JohnSnowDoesDie•1h ago
Listen I know what all of you lards are thinking, Game Of Thrones had a starbucks coffee cup in shot how could it have not fallen off, but I regard you to look at the other aspects of the show as well. The acting in the final season is spectacular and really gives the show a nice clean close and makes it feel like an ended story. Compare it to stranger things which recently ended. The stranger things ending is boring, the acting sucks, and it relies heavily on cgi. Speaking of CGI, I never actually knew what that meant, I know CG means Computer generated, but wouldn't it be CGG? Computer Generated Graphics? Fun fact in Transformers devastator's CGI melted the computers they used to render him due to overheating. I never really liked transformers though, I liked the dinobots in G1 but beyond that I always found them incredibly boring, I think Michael Bay is a lame director and he replies heavily on CGI, going back to my original point CGI in Game Of Thrones was amazing and some of the best I have seen in my entire life. Now I know what some of you are thinking this guy really likes Game Of Thrones, and you'd be right the only time I missed an episode coming out on release was Season 1 Episode 2 because my wife was giving birth to our son. I still haven't quite forgiven him for causing me to miss the episode. I'd honestly been hooked since the pilot. Now I've always thought that John was a WAY better character than anyone else I've ever seen. I mean I don't understand how people put him below other characters with great writing like Arthur Morgan for example. Speaking of Arthur Morgan, Red Dead was never really my kind of game. I just thought they're kinda boring, though I did really really like Undead Nightmare. But unfortunately rdr2 not having an undead Nightmare or similar dlc really killed the game for me. I wish they at least do a remaster of RDR1 so I can play Undead Nightmare again. Speaking of Nightmares I had had one recently about how my high school history teacher found the lost city of gold after watching the Dora movie with my kids. I guess he just found it on a map, makes sense though because other wise I would have no idea how he afforded 4 different cars all of which were new at the time. Speaking of highschool back in the day I used to play for my School's chess team, I was never very good at chess and quite frankly I believe I'm the reason we never won any competitions, not like competitive team chess is very impressive or fun or cool. Something cool thought would be my first car, I bought it when I was going to college back in the day. It was a 1998 Ford Ranger, and boy did she carry me everywhere. I lost her in a car accident 17 years ago and it hurt. Was Darth Vader a good villain? No, I personally think he's overrated and many people only consider him a good villain because he has a fleshed out backstory in the prequel trilogy, which while they're the best movies he is not the best villain. Now a lot of people will then go "Who's the best villain then?" Clearly the best villain is Palpatine. The way he slowly manipulates everyone is an amazing show of character, and I think in the prequel trilogy Anakin is better as a tool to show Palpatine's manipulation then as the main character who's backstory this is. Now even though they butcher Palpatine in the sequel trilogy you have to understand those movies weren't even that bad they just had a ton of plot holes, If they had just taken the time to fix their plot holes they would have been way better.
