The Norseman Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I feel like I'm always disappointed by these spin offs. Hopefully, this one is the exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is that HBO is desperate for an anchor series to keep people subscribed, the IP is established which will attract talent, and the budget will probably be massive from the start. As is usually the case, the writing will make or break the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawkins4prez Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 This is going to bomb. I can feel it in my bones. The #1 problem its got is competition. Amazon's take on the Silmarillion comes with an equally muscular fantasy IP, is scheduled to hit first and follows an almost identical prequel plot (they are both centered on the fall of Atlantis inspired civilizations). Silmarillion also has more nerd cred as ana established story people want to see, and of course, The Hobbit trilogy didn't leave the bad taste that GoT's finale season did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the way Season 8 played out, I'm definitely not dismissing the fact that this could bomb, but I just think GoT is >>>> LotR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBENT87 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 This will be fine early on at least, if GRRM is involved and can pump in some source material from the Fire & Blood Targaryen specific book. The early seasons of GoT were fantastic for that reason, they were taking his books and adapting it to screen. When they ran out of books... well, we saw what happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season 4 is my fave (ep 1 ends with Hound eating his chicks, Ep 2 is joffreys wedding, other bangers are in the middle... Sansa's aunt flying, scenes with Tyrion and Jaime in the cell, Tyrion's trial). Then ep 8 is that fight, ep 9 is castle black battle, ep 10 is hound + brienne, tyrion v tywin, bran and co getting attacked by ground skeletons making it to the big tree. I disliked the first half of season 5 in a lot of ways and most of daenerys in mareen was snoooze, but Hardhome is like episode 8 of season 5 and that was an ALL TIME great ep. That first watch was one of the most adrenaline packed things I've ever seen/felt... and that was 100%%%% made up by the show creators (zero book deets to pull from). It's wild how high their creative highs were when we saw in sections of seasons 7 and 8 how LOW their creative lows were...

Basically, I want the whole thing on 4k, but that means re-buying season I already own on 4k... and then getting duplicates of all 8 seasons of bluray since the 4k sets seem to be 4k+bluray+digital I watched the commentary tracks for every episode expect season 8 (just never got around to that one when the disc set released in covid), and i'm sure the 4k set that is out is 100% identical content to what I own, so I wouldn't be gaining new info or content... maybe if it randomly hits a $50 price point.

So the bolded comment reminded me - when The Long Night episode premiered, I'm sitting in my recliner watching. This is still early in the episode, before any of the fighting actually began - the anticipation/adrenaline was that high, my apple watch actually alerted me that my heart rate had gone above 120 BPM and I wasn't exercising. It asked me if I was OK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
