Episode 3 was so bad it was a waste of my time.
There are logical loopholes in the whole article. It is better to leave Erya and Bran alone in the whole city. It is meaningless for so many soldiers to die. Why did the prairie cavalry rush up, why did the slave warriors stand outside the city to defend, how thin the bonfire defense line was, why didn't they set up close to the city wall, the overall strategy of using Bran as the bait, who would kill the Night King when he took the bait One blow, no ambushes were arranged at all, so Erya slapped her forehead and remembered to assassinate the Night King, otherwise the game would be over; the dragon mother is not afraid of fire, and the dragon is not afraid of fire, so what if the dragon does not breathe fire when the zombie is on top? He threw it like a madman, and even threw the dragon mother off. A casual glance at the mother is full of bugs, alas, the seven seasons of the drama is unfinished in this episode, and it will not work without the support of the novel.
In this way of defeating the Night King, the battle of ordinary people becomes meaningless. All the previous efforts to find reinforcements, go to the pathogen to catch the White Walkers, negotiate political negotiations in King's Landing, and persuade the Seven Kingdoms to send troops have become tasteless. In fact, only The night watchman and the northern city defender did not affect the final result at all. It was nothing more than that after the defenders were completely wiped out, the night king had to kill Bran himself, and was assassinated by Erya at the last moment. Just leave Erya and Bran.
As for the character of the Night King, why he started the war, why he didn't start the war before and waited for thousands of years to start it, and what he thought was all ignored. Completely become a paper villain, with eight characters on the top of his head, evil forces, don't ask more.
Finally, please take a look at the final battle of Helm's Deep in The Lord of the Rings 2. People are also medieval, there is magic, and they are also outnumbered. No matter from the initial strategy of being passive, to the final victory by surprise soldiers, there is a rationality in the plot. A battle that must be lost is finally turned into victory. The wisdom and bravery of heroes are of course important. Every soldier's bravery to kill the enemy plays a decisive role, not just to show their heroism, which is really useful.
