John Wayne’s advice on being a movie star. Talk low, talk slow, and don’t say too much. Stars DO. SUPPORTING actors explain

The quantity of line or words is a recent FAKE METRIC that keeps being used to imply proof of sexism for female characters. Ever watch a Steve McQueen movie. He says like 10 for every hour of film. Both he and Clint Eastwood are known for reducing pages of script to one or two lines. Word counters – GET A CLUE then maybe you’ll get a life.

I’m gonna make a prediction. I betcha lots of the giant holes in the plot and under-developed characters has lots to do with the yet to be released books. But not because the producers floundered the way many think. It’s very possible that Martin had a deal in place to keep the show from stepping on his books. They might have been contractually obliged to keep stuff out of the show to keep the books from becoming novelization of the series. This also explains why the producers ended the series instead of continuing on. They might have been shackled.

That explains it. The last season was NOT bad TV, it just felt emptier compared to earlier seasons and now we know why.

I’m so glad I have Buzzfeed to tell me how bad GoT was, otherwise I may have gone with my own opinion and liked it. On this topic, I do agree that more action leads to fewer words. Plus we knew the characters so well; a look in s8 said as much as a monologue in s1.

It seems the showrunners didn’t know that the reason the show was so popular in the first place was the deep characterizations and dialogue not the effects and action set pieces in relied on in the end. The reception to it alone is proof of that. That said there’s nothing wrong with just being dissapointed and moving on, The entitlement of ppl is a out of hand.

Do people not realize that there’s less dialogue with action scenes? If you count how many lines are in Marvel movies and other action-packed movies and shows, there’s significantly less than in, say, a rom-com or drama. The beginning of the series was all eloquent talks in elaborate rooms, and then shit got more and more real to the point of all hell breaking loose and battles being a bulk of a lot of episodes. Less time for talking when you have so many fighting scenes.

Oh my God can we STOP with the bitching already! You didn’t like the last season? Get over it!!! Go back to writing some bullshit about the Kardashians already.

Hahahahaha! The group of people criticizing a show they didn’t write or create are mentally unstable on a whole other level! Childish and entitled generation ! Oh I didn’t get my way so let’s start a protest generation!
