my #analysis or whatever but its really interesting with how much they cut out of the Jon at the banquet 1x01 scene compared to (at least the leaked version online) the original pilot and book. like not to be like yeah grrm put this much detail in there for a reason but a lot of the detail that they removed really hurts jon as a character and its so jarring to see how much they cut to take the chapter down to about 3 minutes of the episode.

#twist rambles #thrones posting #im picking it apart bc im enjoying rewatching and knowing whats coming but it actually drives me insane bc imo jon gets fucked over SO bad #in the show w/o having his internal thoughts. like him and da/ny get fucked over the most w that to ME. and the cutting of the sa/nsa tower #scene in 1x10 also really was a big loss to MEEE personally. like when u have characters that are introspective and dont figure out any way #to incorporate all their thoughts- it hurts them a lot and kind of fucks over their characterization a lot #not saying got has sucked since 1x01 or anything but its been interesting to rewatch it and pour over the text as i do so because the small #changes do end up hurting it a bit the further u get in. like changing cer.sei to have birthed rob.erts child vs abortion i think definitel #does some damage to her character/that reveal. where like a lot of things that they added even in 1x01 are REALLY good changes. like the #addition that they did to the “the things i do for love” line were really good because it does kind of reassure the viewer haha he is askin #questions and let go of his shirt he SURELY wont and then he does. like that is a rly good change and again i think its kind of a mixed bag #w the additions and things they took away (namely i wish the amt of really over the top sex scenes were a bit closer to the book bc it kind #of takes away from a lot of it when its like SO much of an episode. its way more jarring how cruel th.eon is during sex when its very #different to what is surrounding it (which it is in the books) instead of like. it being INSTANTLY followed up w another similar scene they #added in. like i can definitely see the misogyny arguments esp when comparing book 2 show because the books are nowhere near as bad w that.#also forever mad that they didnt make da.ny bald at the start of s2. can we get silly NOW. anyways god. its been interesting to pick it #apart upon rewatch and more familiarity w the source material.
