Game Of Thrones: The Sopranos with swords or Dynasty in chainmail?

[ghoststrike]

My god y’all went from nk not doin shit when he commanded his forces and got where he wanted to be.

Now y’all Bitchin about Aryas training like it ain’t shit.

One on one with brenn and it was a tie, her master trainer said she was ready

Some of y’all are fuckin dumb af

Yea man, it's funny how some will bring up Arya's stumbling blocks during the beginning stages of her training as if she never displayed her mastery in blocking the Waif's attack strikes and besting the Waif during sparing sessions while blind. As well as besting Brienne in the 1st couple moves with the needle at her throat when they spared to illustrate her assassin skills in having the kill strike within the 1st couple moves when facing an adversary. Brienne is a BEAST but looked spooked when she realized how quickly Arya had her in the kill strike zone.

She was more than ready to assassinate the Night King.

 

[SamSneed]

Arya has pretty much done nothing but train since the 1st episode. Definitely not surprised she was the one to do it. Actually, you could argue that she would likely be the only one who could do it

Man the north ain’t got much left to fight with

Unsullied and Dothraki gone, maybe a few but most gone

What ever happen to the dude from the vale, dude who runs shit and is always talkin with Sansa?

I don’t recall seein that nigga.

Didn’t house Glover go home?

Yara still has her force, small but it contributes to their numbers. I can't think of anybody else.

My beef is that they didn't showcase all those talents in her kill of the most evil and formidable villain in the show. I agree with you one hundred percent on her skills, I just would have liked to see them used to get the kill, rather than some three stooges drop the knife shit....

Most people (myself included) love a drawn out one-on-one battle between to highly skilled combatants with high stakes but an assassin goes for the QUICK kill with minimal risk. She purposely dropped the knife into her other hand since the Night King had her 1st strike attempt (to the head) masterfully blocked. I think the very beginning of that sparring session with Brienne foreshadowed Arya's ability to get the kill strike within only a couple moves in.

A lot of people are prob pissed they didn't get to see the highly anticipated Jon vs the Night King in a winner-take-all swordsman battle but that's what I love about GOT. The Night King's defeat came about in an unexpected outcome that was only subtly foreshadowed.

 

[Flawless]

• Bran told the NK about the trench fire

IS tghis from that King Arthur movie with Sean Connery?

 

[ghoststrike]

Man the north ain’t got much left to fight with

Unsullied and Dothraki gone, maybe a few but most gone

What ever happen to the dude from the vale, dude who runs shit and is always talkin with Sansa?

I don’t recall seein that nigga.

Didn’t house Glover go home?

House Glover became part of the Night King's army

Well the Blood Riders portion of the Dothroki took a hit but Danny has more Dothraki in Essos.

As far as what's left, some of the Unsullied, Northern forces, a couple dragons, and Yara took over the Iron Islands. I guess we'll see what the remaining count is this Sunday.

 

[Flawless]

Bruh a dragon is a DRAGON.

Cersei has those dragon killer bows on deck!

 

[TENT]

I am thinking they will never do that.
They are really trying to subvert exceptions.


Do we really even care who is King or Queen? They just killed the "Devil" of Westeros.

The NK was the evil force for THOUSANDS of years and she was killed by Arya. A character who barely beat the waif.

My big question now is when are they gonna let everybody else know that Jon is Aegon Targaryen?

 

[stretchwallz]

Episode 5 is supposed to make you forget “The Long Night” episode

 

[TENT]

Hmm maybe. Or perhaps the many other skilled knights, swordmens, soldiers or members of the nights watch who have trained longer than she has been alive.

Also Mel's foreshadowing of Arya killing the NK was retconned. Mel was NOT hinting at the NK when she first told Ayra "blue eyes".

D&D are lying and making up shit to make themselves look better.

Arya has pretty much done nothing but train since the 1st episode. Definitely not surprised she was the one to do it. Actually, you could argue that she would likely be the only one who could do it

 

[TENT]

I really hope so.
Who do you think wins?
I think Varys is going to betray Dany.
There HAS to be a major twist at the end.
There has to be. Cause they got nothing else left.

It would be epic if Cersei doesn't die.
However, I want Jaime to do it.

That was last hearth or whatever it’s called
I don’t think it was said if Deepwood Motte was taken by nk

They only said last hearth was taken

Look at the map
https://gameofthrones.fandom.com/wiki/The_North?file=The_North.png

Deepwood Motte is way west

I’m sure the word of fight at wf will get around to the north and all will join up

Alex Ward

Can you explain that a bit further?


Mick Cook

Sure, I’ll start with the catapults. The catapults serve to drop explosives right in front of your own forces as they attack the enemy. You try and put them only one-third of the distance behind your lead forces so that they can keep engaging the enemy while your forces are closing in on the enemy. But, to do that, the catapults still need to be protected, so they need to be behind your front lines.


You need your infantry or your cavalry at least in front of your fire assets. Also, with your close air support, like your dragon, you want to use that at the point that’s going to be most valuable to your ground forces, so that your ground forces can take advantage of any destruction that the dragons, in this case, would cause.


With light cavalry, like the Dothraki, their job is to go in real quick, cause damage, and come back — to exhaust the enemy. That’s probably not going to work with the Army of the Dead. Usually, light cavalry will sit out on the wings so they can move quickly without being inhibited by things like the infantry that will advance more slowly, that will get into a thick melee, and generally be a slow, harder slog of a battle.



talking about taking fiction way too seriously .....





Alex Ward

So if that’s what the plan should’ve been, what was up with that Dothraki charge at the beginning? Tell me that I’m wrong, please, that there was no real military justification for it.


Mick Cook

I would love to tell you, because I love a good argument. The way they filmed it was cool, but if the Dothraki were heavy cavalry in armored war horses like knights, and they had that hard-hitting shock power, then it’d make some sense.


But the Dothraki are a lighter, mobile cavalry, so charging them toward the middle of the Night King’s troops is not how you should use them. You’d use them on the wings.


So, I’ve got to agree with you: There’s not really a tactical reason for why you would use light cavalry to charge straight into a numerically superior force of infantry that really can absorb the momentum of the charge.

Also Mel's foreshadowing of Arya killing the NK was retconned. Mel was NOT hinting at the NK when she first told Ayra "blue eyes".

D&D are lying and making up shit to make themselves look better.

I don't think anyone was ever going to beat the NK in a physical battle. Her training was tailor-made for that type of sneak attack. Everyone was pretty much trained for hand-to-hand combat with swords or long-distance archery.

It was likely always going to be that type of situation that ended the NK. I just wished he was in some type of real physical combat before Ayra got to him with some of the main characters killed by the NK.

 

[stretchwallz]

 

[Winslow Wong]

• Bran told the NK about the trench fire
• Jon did run interference for Arya

Took me a second to get it but thats funny

 

[Camille]

Lmaoooooooo

 

[Winslow Wong]

Dany didnt even use a 3rd of her Dothrakis in that attack most of them are probably still at her castle waiting for her to return to Dragonstone

Watch this scene from the Loot Train Battle and the number of Dothraki vs the Battle of Winterfell



Now look at this clip - its a lot but nowhere near the number in the battle above

 

[ghoststrike]

Last Hearth is NE of WinterFell

Deepwood Motte is NW of Winterfell

In Episode 2, it was said that any northern houses that didn't make it to Winterfell are basically part of the NK's army, not just Last Hearth. Bear Island is in a better position to sit it out if they chose to do so.

But I'm not 100% sure on Deep Motte either, fam.

 

[HeathCliff]

Good point good point.

I'd also like to add, by looking at the previews and seeing how spirited and confident they were about fighting on leads me to believe they have no worries about attrition and the size of their forces left to fight it out in Kings Landing. Can't wait til Sunday

 

[TENT]

I agree. Let's see if the show plays it out that way though.
I know that there should be more Dothraki than the ones we seen killed.
Matter of fact there should be more Northern forces that what we saw in that episode to be honest.

Dany didnt even use a 3rd of her Dothrakis in that attack most of them are probably still at her castle waiting for her to return to Dragonstone

Still, they could have have some kind of confrontation between Jon and the NK, and then have Arya come in and finish the job or something. It just felt like a let down that virtually nothing was there other than the dragon fight, when people were anticipating some kind of showdown since Hardhome.
