Black, black, white, white, gray is the truth

When I was a child, if I joined my family to watch TV and movies in the middle, I would always like to ask which is the good guy and which is the bad guy. Game of Thrones characters come and go, some live from beginning to end, some live for a few seasons, some live for a few episodes. I am happy when I see a bad guy receiving a boxed meal, and sad when I see a good guy killed. This habit is still the same as when I was a child. In the second season, some people can't bear to walk, such as Yoren, although as a supporting role, he may not describe the bad aspects of the usual, but from the perspective of the play, he is definitely a good person with love and righteousness, and then he is alone like that. died. And Colin with a broken palm, who was killed by Xuejong, and Reuven, and Ser Rodrik, who was hacked to death like Theon. Human nature is complex, and the real world is by no means the black-and-white dualism in film and television dramas. Although Game of Thrones is an alternate history, it has advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes it is black and sometimes white, or it often wanders in the gray area. world.

Some people go back and forth between black and white, such as Theon, Theon's choice this season not only caused the Stark family to suffer, but also planted the seeds for his own later tragedy, and finally made the right choice. For example, Jaime, who can be selfish enough to kill Lannister himself and escape, can take care of Brienne later, and finally go north alone to resist the White Walkers. Of course, bad is bad, and good deeds do not counteract sin. There are people who are not bad, just stupid, and Catherine is as brainless as the first season. Can you get back two daughters by letting Jamie go first? Xuejong's woman's kindness let go of the female savage, and ended up killing her own people; Rob, you can have sex with the nurse, but what's the point of ruining the marriage contract? Hurt self and others. Long Ma is still so desperate in a desperate situation. Aren't you afraid that people will steal it? There are also many bugs in the plot. Since Jaqen has proved that he can help Aya kill people, Tywin was in Harrenhal at the time and watched directly as Jaqen brought Tywin to life. If Wen kills it, then her brother will win. What else is Jaqen doing? Why are you running Westeros, so why was Meng locked in the first place? In the end, Theon's subordinates set fire to run away, and what about the 500 Dreadforts outside Winterfell? On the first day, gongs and drums were beaten, and the next day none of them disappeared? Season 2, as always, likes Little Devil, Silly Sam Tully, Onion Knight, Brienne, Bran, Osha,
