    I feel like I missed something that should have been obvious:

    That was one of the theories, which in seeing this scene reinforced the assumption he was a Targaryen. I bet they're saving the answer to that for the next series. SPOILER--probably yes.

    Actually I think I like the armored Thanos a little more than Hercules. Paint and sculpt on him are AWESOME, but the articulation sucks HORRIBLY. No ankle pivot, and the armor severely restricts his range of motion. I bought Maw when I saw him because I knew how popular, well done, and harder to find he is, but I haven't taken him out of the box. I liked the voice actor playing Maw in Infinity War a lot, but the character looks really unappealing, and visual appearance is 95% of the appeal of action figures. All of the Black Order guys look unappealing, although I do like Cull Obsidian's look. Corvus Glaive's figure has the best cape I've ever seen on a toy, but the guy himself looks horrific--well done, just an ugly character by design. And since they all died so fast I didn't have time to get to know them. If I crack Maw open or buy the others I assume in three years they'll be sitting somewhere forgotten.

    I had forgotten that little details myself until I researched it yesterday. That's when I realized he was also the White Walker General that Jon kills at Hardhome. That tends to weaken it and make him the guy willing to get paid to sit there and have makeup caked on him for 10 hours. Why'd they re-use the same actor for multiple parts, they just assumed we wouldn't be able to tell? Which I wasn't, so they were half-right, but then you look this stuff up and you're like WTF?
  5. fantastic_four
    Wow, didn't realize the same actor played that guy the Children stabbed AND the Night King. That almost certainly means he was the Night King both times.
  6. fantastic_four
    So why isn't he blue with the Darth Maul horns in the video then? Also if he's the very first White Walker, then that would have been one of the earlier waves of undead, not this latest one we just saw last episode.

    And even if Martin told them his ending story points I'd bet that Martin's are not the ones we're seeing this season. Otherwise the show is a huge spoiler for his unreleased book, eh?
  8. fantastic_four
    Yea, but there have been multiple waves of undead marches to the south which implies there have been multiple Night Kings. That doesn't mean this latest one isn't Rhaegar.
  9. fantastic_four
    That's not the Night King, that guy is being turned into a White Walker. They never showed when or how the Night King came about, did they? Him being created more recently would explain why it took so long for the undead army to march south. If the Night King had been around for centuries why'd he wait until now to assault Westeros?

    I've seen that Avengers Endgame first wave in six different Walmarts, and only one of them had the Ebony Maw. But it's available right now on Hasbro Pulse, so you can get it there. It is by far the best figure in the wave with Hercules being second-best.

    keep track? But why? who was he telling these movements to? I've been wondering if he was somehow communicating with Arya. How did she get out of that room she was stuck in with the Hound and Melisandre, and what did she say when she zipped out? I couldn't hear it. Next we saw her she zipped in from nowhere to stab the Night King.

    What does Dany do without an army? Two dragons aren't enough to defeat Cersei. They've had the undead Mountain on deck for three seasons now. It's LONG past time to see him fight the Hound.

    I saw that part, and thought it was Tormund. They lingered longer on the known characters as the Night King was animating wights. They lingered on the pre-teen girl queen as she reanimated, and they lingered on whoever that was that looked like Tormund. So I still assume it was Tormund, but I didn't notice him standing near people at the end as was pointed out so I could easily be wrong. I'm sure there were dozens of dudes with full beards like Tormund on that battlefield who could be mistaken for him in that bad lighting.

    At the end I thought Viserion was going to light up Jon Snow, he'd end up nude but unharmed like Dany when she burned down that hut full of Dothrakis, and that Dany watched the whole thing and realized that yep, he's the true heir to the throne. Still wish they had done that and had Viserion flop over dead after we saw the proof that Jon is both a Targaryen and that he inherited the dragon gene.
  15. fantastic_four
    While I wasn't a fan of the dark scenes either, I knew they'd do it that way last season or the one before. I mean he's the Night King, and they're undead. Of course they're going to attack at night when the humans are most disadvantaged. I didn't foresee the snowstorm though. Did they show that in previous seasons? Are we to assume that's some kind of spell that either the White Walkers or Night King cast to make happen?
  16. fantastic_four
    Why did Melisandre die at the end? And what exactly was Bran worging for while all the guys guarding him died? I kept hoping he'd actually contribute to the battle by worging Viserion or Ghost or something, but nope, just out to lunch throughout the battle for some reason I couldn't figure out.
  17. fantastic_four
    While it didn't make sense I'm very glad they did it. The sight of Drogon floundering around with dozens of wights all over him was spectacular to watch.
  18. fantastic_four
    I thought that not only was he dead but they showed him reanimating when the Night King stopped to raise more dead. But I wasn't at all sure of it, they just lingered for a few seconds on a body that looked a lot like Tormund that then opened his eyes.
  19. fantastic_four
    Who exactly are the good guys? Daenerys looked in episode two like she wanted to whack both Sansa and Jon Snow. I'm now thinking that "I'm here to free all the slaves of Westeros" pitch was pure politics and that she just wants power and will do anything to get it.

    I wondered that in the moment she was pulling on his hand. I was wondering if she was pumping plasma into him--or whatever the glowy stuff around her is--and that severely weakened him.

    If anyone can do it, it’s him. He can find the gals and guys who do it. He doesn't write the stuff, he just OKs it. Avi Arad and the DC execs just leave all that up to the directors.

    The more I try to figure out the time travel elements of the film the more it seems to unravel. This is why I grew to hate time travel movies over the years...stories and plot elements tend to fall apart when you use it to drive a story. I was skeptical of the snap at the end of Infinity War, but that film didn't have to clean up the mess. This one did, and right now I don't like how it did it. LOVED the action, LOVED the heart, didn't like the time ideas. Infinity War is in the top ten superhero films, but right now I lean towards this one not cracking the top 20.
