The plot of the third episode has more abrupt places. 1. Bran's role. In this episode, Bran basically didn't play any role except for his rolling eyes from the beginning to the end. I don't know what to do with the crow, and I don't quite understand the meaning of this shot. 2. The war scene is magnificent, but not very reasonable. Is the purpose of the cavalry charge just to highlight the power of the White Walkers? Catapults, archers didn't play their role. It doesn't quite conform to the logic of Shoucheng Station. 3. The part where Erya is in the library is very inexplicable. What is the purpose of Erya going in? If it is for a break, but there is no footage showing the break. Once inside, start peeking. Even if there is no paragraph, it does not affect the subsequent plot. 4. I don't quite understand the significance of the scene of the three fools and the little devil in the cemetery. To rush out to protect the rest? Or what? Is it just to express feelings? 5. Xue Nuo roared at the dragon at the end. I thought the back shot was the dragon spraying him but it couldn't kill him (the descendants of the Targaryen family are not afraid of fire), but the dragon just died in the back. What is the purpose of this lens? I don't quite understand 6. It's certainly reasonable for Erya to kill the Night King, just like some of the previous foreshadowing. But after really killing the Night King, it will feel like the Night King is just dead. This may be the urination of Game of Thrones, you don't know who will suddenly get a bento. For example, when Ned received a bento, everyone was surprised. However, the death of Ned leads to the following plot, but the death of the night king does not know what plot will lead to. In short, Erya's killing of the Night King is still a little less paved, and it does not meet the prophecy. 7. Melisandre was very abrupt when she walked out of the city gate at the end. She walked out suddenly and threw away the necklace. It felt like she was just serving the sentence "I won't live until dawn". It's perfectly fine to say to Davos, "My time is up" or "The Lord of Light wants me to go back", etc. before walking out of the city gate. It would be less obtrusive. This is where I think the third episode is lacking, but if the story about Bran or the Night King can be explained in the next plot, it will make the plot more reasonable. It's unclear if the Night King is really dead, or if there will be other twists. A good ps movie and TV series will not waste a shot for unimportant things, but definitely serve the plot. I hope to fill in some of the holes in this episode later.
One of my concerns is that Martin has told HBO the ending, but not many details. HBO filmed the ending in a straightforward manner, such as Erya killing the Night King, such as war scenes, such as the death of Melisandre. The plot lacks the logic and inner rationality of the characters. The result is that everyone knows the result, but when you see the result, you will feel embarrassed. Why is this? that's it?
If it's just to tell the fans of the ending, it's better to tell everyone directly in words, who will die and who will live in the end. If it is to be made into a TV series, it must be like the previous episodes, so that everyone is immersed in the plot and will not feel that the plot is inexplicable. Some foreshadowings, such as the reason for hodor, will make everyone feel that it is very good. And the foreshadowing of this episode will make everyone feel far-fetched.
In addition, the war scene can actually be borrowed from many movies, such as the defense of the capital of Gondor in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The scene is grand, thrilling, and the mirroring is just right. The army can fight and die, but not die.
