Writer's embarrassment

Santos 2022-03-28 09:01:08

Sure enough, after reading the original book, the favorable impression of the series has been greatly reduced. The first four seasons of Game of Thrones are still very classic. Since Martin quit the ranks of screenwriters, and there is no original book as a reference, the two screenwriters are in a mess. There are endless bugs in this season. In the early stage, Onion Knight selectively forgot the old master and wanted to revive Jon Snow for no reason. Arya was stabbed almost as often as his brother, but she still fought back to kill senior sister. The door, it used to take a whole season to reach the place, and now the camera can reach everything... I can clearly feel that the screenwriter is unable to do what he wants, and the screenwriter who has lost the support of the original can only choose to finish it hastily.
One of the results of this is the forced deletion of scenes: Prince Doran, the leader of Dorne who devised a strategy to win thousands of miles in the original book - was stabbed to death with a knife by his younger brother and sister; Ruth Burton, a ruthless and cautious old skinner - was used by his own son with a knife Stabbed to death; sinister, cunning and ambitious old squid King Balon - stabbed to death by his own brother with a knife... Oh no, he fell into the sea (actually he should have died long ago, but I just wanted to make up for him.) It turns out The most powerful weapon in Game of Thrones is not the dragon, but the knife of a loved one! ~What a painful realization~ In addition, the main characters in the original books such as Prince Quinting, Prince Aegon, and Lady Stoneheart disappeared one after another, and there was no chance of being stabbed by a knife! ! The second result is to force the ending. The screenwriters have not enough brains. Seeing that there are still a dozen main characters whose stories have not been clearly explained, they feel upset, so they simply end it directly. Bento, those who should swear allegiance quickly swear allegiance. But the distance is too far, what should I do if some characters can't see each other for a while? It doesn't matter, look, we have any door! So the second girl was still in the Temple of a Thousand Faces in Braavos to cut off her robe with her master, and in the next episode, she was standing in Luanhe City, thousands of miles away, to feed old Frey pie; Theon and the old sister just After a few episodes from the Squid Islands, I had a long conversation with the dragon girl in Meereen. Why was it arranged so hastily? Screenwriter: "I can't make it up anymore..." I'm afraid of being sprayed too hard by die-hard fans... (To be honest, I'm actually a die-hard fan too.) Let me talk about the advantages, there are still many orders this season. The amazing scenes, such as the beauty Brenney swearing allegiance to Sansa, Hodor's fate to fulfill only one oath in his life, the little devil Tyrion serving as the Queen's Hand of the Dragon Girl, etc., are very touching. The battle of the bastards in the nine episodes, the defense of Meereen, is exciting and exciting. It is estimated that the depiction of the war scenes is difficult to be surpassed in the TV series. My favorite is the tenth episode. Speaking of, the tenth episode has achieved the level of a movie (and a very good movie) in terms of soundtrack, picture and plot.
In the end, the screenwriter cut through the mess quickly, and the many branch lines cultivated since the first season have basically been classified into three lines: the unstoppable Dragon Mother, the Queen Cersei who continues to die, and the king of the North, Jon Snow. The current situation is unprecedentedly clear, and a bigger conflict is about to break out. Let us hope that the screenwriters can get rid of the current predicament and turn the tide. (At least don't mess up!)
