Actors Vs Writers

Actors Vs Writers

I'm getting kind of tired of people defending bad writing by saying how beautiful a scene or moment was or how much they like a character in those moments. Just because the actor are amazing enough to make you feel what they want you to feel in those scene doesn't mean the writing in that moment or leading up to that moment was good or validated enough of a payoff to justify what the writer are putting down. In media on any screen that tends to be the actors job. Any good actor can pull you in even if its not the best writing. Case and point the Star War Prequels. A great actor can break yout heart even when the story diresction or action have you scratching your head. They can have you love a character that you have no business even liking. A moving scene is sometimes, unfortunately more and more often now a days due to a actor then good writing or the deadly duo of both working together. It seems now a days writer go for the shock value then the content. Its always been my veiw that actor job to make us feel it and a writer job to make us believe it. If you cry\laugh\cheer or etc. During a scene thats the actor doing their job. If you look back and it still makes sense to you and you still believe and feel that way even away fro the media itself thats the writer doing theirs. Lately I have seen some pretty damn amazing acting for some down right shitty writer. Feeling vs Believing is a very real thing in media lately and it makes me incredibly sad to think of what they could have made if it wasnt so. Think of all those moving moments mixed in all the bad writing or cheap ending that leave the bitter taste of copout in your mouth and just how much more they could have been. Even if it wasnt the ending you want or were expecting it would still have ascended those moments if the direction\story\characteristics was believable.

You spent most the past six years hating Khlyen…

Sorry to bother you on this but how do you think they handled the political drama of got? Why is no one discussing about the power vacuum Dany’s death left?

Good question! Short answer: David and Dan kinda forgot what triggered the War of the Five Kings. 

Daenerys’ death left Westeros in another power void, definitely, and to what should be a much more divided realm than when Baratheon died. See, Dany just replaced Cersei as the leader of the Empire, for what, a day? And then she was killed without actually putting the groundwork to stabilize / restructure this newly acquired Empire. She was the one holding the alliance together. Dorne called their banners for her. The Iron Islands are there to fight her battle. The Northern army was there solely because Jon swore fealty to her. Not to mention, before Dany came in to the picture, the realm was already in the fragile state, and more so when Cersei decided to eliminate her enemies in KL by bombing the Great Sept of Baelor. From north to south leaders were openly calling for independence / are in open rebellion against the crown (that conversation between Jaime and Cersei in S7 says hi!). Even Cersei knew her status as Queen didn’t hold much legitimacy, and that the Empire is really in the state of disarray, and this is why she went full Power mode and kill literally anyone she could kill to stop them from undermining her position. 

There’s no logical reason why Westeros wouldn’t fall back to another long civil war after the death of the person who held the alliance together. Yara rallied for her in part because Dany promised her independence in case she asked for it. The switch from hereditary monarchy to elective monarchy without giving us a more detailed picture of that journey from A to B is again, a microcosm of what went wrong with this series. Dany’s  large army not taking control after her death is asking too much from viewers with how long they can suspend disbelief over this political shuffle. You can’t even make an argument that maybe they were following Tyrion because dude, Tyrion resigned as Dany’s hand right in front of them, and after she declared Grey Worm as the commander. To see him making political decision while a literal prisoner of war as a traitor right in front of Grey Worm is hilarious. Worse, and this has been the laughing point in fandom right now, you have one lord asking for Northern independence from her brother as if it’s a candy, and no one is saying hold up, what about my kingdom? It’s like, they also kinda forgot the whole history of the place they live in. 

But then again, the only way to make sense of this whole mess is to not apply logic to it. 

Abigail Caine

Okay we all know Abigail disappeared at the end of episode 5 but did you think about the timing of what she disappeared. She stuck around when she had plenty of chances to not only make a run for it but have Harry killed in the process like at Scotland until she found an answer. Her answer was James's, is I'm not calling him Jimmy I'm not, weakness. Funny how it's not a physical weakness but an emotional one, Macy! I think she was waiting around to see what she could play against him whether it's because he attacked her and their enemies or she actually let him out or wants to work with them and he doesn't want to is still yet to be seen. But I can almost guarantee with the way the story is going right now she was waiting around until she had something she could use as a pressure point for her purposes only turns out it's Macy which Harry and the sisters we're super fucking dumb for telling her all the shit and is going to be seen regret it.. Whether it's threatening Macy to get the dark lighter to do what she wants or on her side or or emotionally manipulating one and or both of them they are going to regret ever showing her all this. At Macy's expense again!!!
