  1. Too bad he isn't a real character…

    They completely ruined him by making him into a motive-less, thoughtless and expressionless villain.
    By all account he is a walking plot device now, endlessly serving the needs of the script: To deliver 'cool' scenes and moments for the 'heroes'.

    I always imagined they'd take GRRM's phylosophy to heart and have the leader of the Others be a character we can't relate to, we can't truly understand but we can know in some way.
    Season 5 and even 6 did some for that, trying to make his face react to things, his motions – like that badass raising the dead-scene – telling his story a tiny bit.

    I was pumped to get to see scenes with him solo where we see what he does, how he does it, maybe even mistakes he makes. Why do we love our villains after all, what makes them memorable? The moments we get to know them in some way, see them at work. Scenes to let us root for him in some way because we know what he wants to do and we feel like we know him a little, even though he's doing seriously horrible things.

    Scenes where:

    – He sends a few wights to climb the wall and watches them fall apart, undone by the wall magic.
    – Commands his walkers to spread out and bring death to nearby settlements, bringing all young babes to him to convert into walkers.
    – Makes art out of corpses using his wights and has some sort of enjoyment in it.
    – Finds dragonglass and stows it away to hide it from his enemies
    – Finds Crasters keep and inspects it, seeing his last tributary died
    – Finds the children of the forest and slowly kills them one by one, then tries to bring them back… and fails.
    – Inspects the weirwood tree Bran was in and touches its root, his eyes going white…

    Instead we get… nothing, a robot that exists only to kill, has no flaws, no motives, no history and no purpose other than being the bad guy.
    I am so dissapointed and sad…

  2. for me night king is the most jackass villian because he could run some Marathon for the cancer patient collect some charity. help old people to cross the road but no he has to rule all the kingdoms

  3. It is disappointing that Night King used dragon to destroy part of the Wall… So, how did he plan to take it without a dragon? As surely he couldn't have planned for it?! In the books the mythical legendary horn was mentioned, which supposedly could bring (some) of the Wall down. It would've been better from the lore stand point IMHO.

  4. This is an example of the worst writing, directing and acting ever. Drogon sitting on the ice for hours w/o the NK taking a shot. Dany looking bored as her dragon(her child) is slaughtered. No grief, no scream of anguish, no anger, no action nothing but a flat face. No strategic maneuvering flying the dragons. Pathetic D & D. Jon snow not freezing to death after falling into the water. The Viseryon would have sunken to the bottom of the sea only to arise dead. No need for the chains. D& D have got to let Dany know how to fly her dragons after years of war. This scene wasn't credible. Wouldn't need Jon to tell them when to take off. Another thing the dragon was wounded in the fire belly and died from it. After that it wouldn't be able to generate fire. The Night King is made of ice he would melt walking through fire. C'mon D& D stop stinking things up. Special effects can't cover up terrible writing and direction. Another one of Jon Snow's idiotic plans result in failure and destruction of a dragon. He's a terrible strategist.

  5. The Richard Brake Night King was so intimidating and regal, the recast Night King looks like there's a constant smear of Vaseline on the camera lens centred around his face.

    There's far too much CGI augmentation to the prosthetics in the new Night King where his eyes look far too close together and he just doesn't look intimidating anymore.

  6. Jon Snow is an idiot. He's like "let's get as many people as possible from Westeros and go fight a thing that can kill them us all and resurrect everyone on his side." Any smart person knows that you can't beat the night king in an army vs army fight. The only way to beat him is in a 1v1 fight.

  7. So the dragon dies because Jon decides to be cool and kill some Wight in front of Danny to show off his sword skills instead of hopping on and flying away to safety. If you argue that he was trying to buy time he clearly only needed to kill one Wight and hop on the dragon.
