The criticism and negative reception of season two of "House of the Dragon" is so unserious. People are complaining that there isn't an action-packed battle like, every other episode? As if "Game of Thrones" did this? Game of Thrones spent each season slowly building toward something, so that the final two episodes would be even more satisfying, devastating, shocking. There's gotta be stakes. You need your characters to develop, to show their relationships and feelings about events.

If you had a battle in every other episode, 1) the show would only be like, what, 4 episodes? 2) it would be significantly less entertaining and less emotionally impactful. You care about these characters' deaths because you care about them. How do you care about them? By exposition! By exploring their characters! By taking the time to have them feel their feelings and either express them or repress them.

The reviews from the critics have only improved, and that's because critics can understand the importance of building tension and exploring the complexity of the characters and their relationships.

It's sad but if Game of Thrones aired now, I guarantee y'all that twitter would be making the same complaints they're making about House of the Dragon. People don't have an attention spam, like at all. And it's ruining television.

Maybe television isn't for you. Stick to movies then? But can you sit through that, either?

Next time you feel like you aren't good at anything, I need you to remember that Newton Pulsifer broke every machine he ever touched and didn't know why until the very moment he saved the entire world from a nuclear apocalypse.

Maybe you just aren't at the "why" part of your story yet.

in hindsight it is really funny that justin long in barbarian is supposed to be like an a list celebrity who's getting ""canceled"" because like. imagine you've spent the past month being held captive by a nine foot tall woman who juiced a man's melon right in front of you and keeps trying to breastfeed you. and then also johnny depp is there.

Ship the characters fine that’s ok because they’re fictional but leave the actors alone. They are real people and this will affect their real lives

that article going around abt firefox's new ad program is annoying bc it's phrased as though "mozilla has finally TURNED on its people and is SELLING YOU OUT for cold hard cash!!" when. that's not what's happening. it is specifically being implemented to discourage tracking behavior, and literally all the data they are giving to advertisers is aggregate and anonymized, which is like, the opposite of what that post wants you to worry about, lol

I'm always entertained by people doing those "canon VS fanon" memes where both are misunderstanding characters to such a violent degree 'cause like
