I did warn you . . .

[feotakahari]

Hey! Game of Thrones fans! Where is your God now?

Context: http://www.themarysue.com/we-will-no-longer-be-promoting-hbos-game-of-thrones/ (discussion of rape)

Re: I did warn you . . .

What did you warn us about, specifically?

Re: I did warn you . . .

[feotakahari]

That when they swapped Sansa in for Jeyne, they were going to do the same scenes with Sansa that the book had with Jeyne, and it was going to be awful and pointless and the showrunners were going to make asses of themselves while discussing it in interviews.

Let's not give these assholes clicks, please.

Re: I did warn you . . .

[(Anonymous)]

So what makes these particular assholes assholes? Every time someone links to just about any website here, someone else complains about not giving them clicks.

I saw on Tumblr some shit went down, but I'm two episodes behind. I don't exactly know what happened, and I'm kinda wary now to catch up even though, I mean, it's probably not something that's completely unexpected based on the show's typical content.

Oh no!! The Mary Sue isn't going to promote Game of THrones. WHAT SHALL WE DO? OH GOD! DO YOU THINK THIS WILL END GAME OF THRONES? OHHH NOOOOOOO!

Re: I did warn you . . .

[feotakahari]

Agh, I knew I was going to get this response from the name of the link. I just linked it because it was a good summary of what happened.

Just googles the scene in question.

Am I a bad person for finding it hot?

Insert reheated joke about Lord of the Rings and Mark Millar.

GoT spoilers - anyone want to talk about what else happened?

[kaijinscendre]

Considering who Sansa is replacing in the books, it isn't like this came out of nowhere. And it makes sense why'd they put her in Poole's role. It eliminates a secondary character that people who've not read the books know nothing about AND it gives Sansa something to do other than babysitting for a whole season (or more).

I loved all the stuff having to do with Arya. That room with all the faces was fucking awesome. Jaime and Bronn's storyline continues to be fantastic.

I can't stand Cersei. Though, I can't wait for the whole Sparrows thing to backfire on her. It will be fantastic.

I honestly couldn't even be mad at the scene because I saw it coming from 5 million years away.

I mean the show and the book have had plenty of uncomfortable rape scenes before, I understand for a lot of people this is the last straw but for me I just kind of got to the point where I deal with it. I'm not happy about it but I like other parts of the series.

I was actually happy they didn't show much and cut away to Theon. I think if it had been more graphic I would have been unable to stomach it, but not seeing it helps me deal.

Re: I did warn you . . .

Why are people in this thread acting like you can't be upset if you knew it was coming?

Re: I did warn you . . .

[vethica]

Honestly, I think people are overreacting about that episode. I mean, this is Game of Thrones. What were they expecting, not awful things?

It's a difficult question.

[chardmonster]

In my book the problem isn't that this horrible thing happened to Sansa. The problem is that they stuck with the scene too long. Cutting after Bolton orders Reek to stay, then implying that awful shit went down next episode would have been better. This just seemed all "look how 3dgy" to me. It was pointlessly exploitative, especially when the cut might have made it more horrifying rather than less.

The issue though is that I can't judge a storyline that I haven't seen played out. People are acting like this is completely undermining Sansa's character and turning her into "only a victim" before any of us have seen the next episode. A clip from the next episode appears to show her ordering Theon to do something. While the pacing of this is weird--why the fuck would you have this happen after portraying Sansa starting to take notes from Littlefinger and getting more assertive--I've seen no indication that they've stopped that plot. I can't assume they're going to follow the book and just turn Sansa into that secondary character when they've changed all this stuff.

So I think this decision was stupid, but at the same time I can't jump on the doom and gloom train until I see that it's actually headed toward disaster.

Eh, considering she was married off to Ramsay, I pretty much saw it coming. Dunno what everyone's fussing over.

Re: I did warn you . . .

[cushlamochree]

I have to say, I don't know whether or not it's justified (I don't watch GoT) but I do have to respect them for having the courage of their convictions on this one.

Re: I did warn you . . .

[(Anonymous)]

"...though I was expecting Sansa to draw a dagger and get rid of Ramsey"

YES THAT WOULD TOTALLY WORK OUT PERFECTLY FOR HER AND IT'D BE TOTALLY IC TOO

Also, fuck this "she should had fought back during the rape to show she is a strong character" argument. Fuck it all to hell.

Re: I did warn you . . .

Umm... this is kinda what I signed up for when I started watching and what I like about game of thrones. I don't get the whole outrage. I thought the way they're playing out sansa is great.

Re: I did warn you . . .

[(Anonymous)]

I liked that scene, and I think you're a really annoying self-righteous entitled brat.
