i like how they had like 3-5 riders and just copypasted them over and over again
Adrian Hernandez
I fucken love Helm's Deep
Austin Harris
Film?
Ian King
not that good of a bait. Fact that LOTR did it better 15 years ago just reinforces the point.
get fucked fuccboi
Jaxon Allen
The fact you needed to samefag that rather than just doublereply just makes it sadder

you haven't seen a lot of movies have you?

Pretty fucking good for a TV show.

Nope. LOTR>>>>>>
Henry Flores
Not even close
John Sanders
what flick is this
John Fisher
in before someone posts that reddit LOTR CGI garbage
Mason Ross
These are good senpai, but not the best. Especially when you consider it has the advantage of modern CGI.
The greatest cavalry charge of all time is The Battle of Aqaba from Lawrence of Arabia. No computers or CGI at that time, all pure kino.
Kevin Nguyen
all that was missing was salsa telling johnson o to look for her coming at first light on the fifth day.

Is that you Wormtongue?
Ryder Robinson
This shitty GoT episode was only salvaged by the pretty top-tier cinematography.
Jaxson Rogers
Everyone's bringing up blockbuster movies. So this must be one of the best TV show battles
Christian Barnes
The GoT arrow shots where much more Kino than that shit
Easton Long
Obviously. I don't think any tv series in history has had a budget like Game of Thrones has, its budget basically makes it equivalent to a hollywood blockbuster.
Ayden Torres
Nah they were pretty standard fare, for some reason I really liked the banners hanging in Winterfell.
Levi Ramirez
Evan Lopez
ttbqhwtfiepa (this to be quite honest what the fuck is everyone playing at)
Aaron Williams
kill yourself
James Perez
The only good parts about the episode you absolute pleb were Jon's PoV shots and when he's being crushed
Ryder Price
Pleb tier. Only underage newfaggots believe this unironically. GoT is trash now.
Jacob Gutierrez
underage confirmed
Nathaniel Lee
nigga they had 250 guys on horses for that scene while bastardbowl pretty much did what you suggested
Jason Bell
>I don't think any tv series in history has had a budget like Game of Thrones has
Ironically, Friends and ER were vastly more expensive than GoT. ER at its height was over 10 million per episode (with 20+ episode seasons) and that was back in 90s.
Also Rome had a huge budget, well over 100m. When you watch it and see they had to build everything from scratch to such amazing detail its pretty cool.
Lincoln Howard
>Ironically, Friends and ER were vastly more expensive than GoT.
Yes but only because they payed millions to actors for every episode. Fucking greedy cunts.
Austin Wilson
Nathaniel Phillips
The rest was good, but you're right when they stumbled upon absolute kino with these suffocating shots
Luke Fisher
bitch please
Luis Butler
>Ohh the movie! I didn't see it.
Grayson Ortiz
THE DIDN'T HAVE FLAT-TOPS IN ANCIENT ROME
Alexander Rivera
most plebian shit in thread
Austin Cruz
youtu.be
this is best and realistic scene
Brody Bell
waterloo is the best war movie ever made in terms of battle scenes
Dominic Rodriguez
well when you cast all your most important characters with shitty actors it has more impact on the overall quality than some sick cgi scenes
source: GoT
Nolan Ortiz
This is fucking sweet. Thanks dude.
Still the best by far. Plenty of faggots will claim its bias, but the framing for the whole scene is better.
You know that they HAVE to charge into this battle so when you have the set up for the event and the event itself in mind you can see how the elongate suspense and get you hyped over time.
You have establishing shots of both armies in as much scale as possible, you have them getting into formation, you have a speech to actually rally men, you have tons of actual people on set, you have strong motivation, strong characters, strong music, and strong (albeit simple) staging via good on the side of morning and bad by the side of night.
Kino.
Matthew Taylor
Nah, Gengis as a historical figure is more exciting than Game of Thrones as a tv show.
Lincoln Young
>Jon surviving that horse charge, a fight between all those horses and massive amounts of Bolton arrows
You can have epic battles without every frame screaming PLOT ARMOR at you
John Bailey
>charging past the enemy leader
jesus christ.
Lincoln Ross
Please don't.
They'd get wrecked by horse archers even before they got close.
This destroy everything about what made Genghis Khan great.
He valued tactics and the survival of his troops above all else. They had suicide troops but didn't send them in like that.
It hurts watching this scene instead of seeing a well organized Tumen attack in a coordinated pattern with planned feints and ambushes as well as traps set.
Daniel Perry
I haven't seen the episode, but from what I can tell it looks like a Helm's Deep clone. Can anyone confirm?
Joseph Jenkins
>couched sword
the fuck is that going to do
Nolan Wood
No, Helm's Deep wasn't retarded
Jaxon Walker
It was just spastic and shit instead.
Tyler Thompson
...
Nathaniel Ross
Well that's like a one-in-a-lifetime thing where they had complete control over thousands of soldiers and access to huge resources that money can't really buy.
Ethan Gonzalez
>archers draw and hold longbow
why do they do this
Henry Brown
>game of shitters trying to copy and beat based lotr
Stay pleb, faggots. Your show sucks ass and George Martin is a hack
Owen Reed
That was literally the point of the battle.
Jon is the chosen one. Melly Sanders didn't know whether he was or not and thought he'd just die but then the battle comes and arrows are killing everyone but him.
Alexander Evans
Because they're not actually drawing a war bow with meter long arrows
Brayden Richardson
LOTR is overrated garbage
Connor Baker
Everybody is posting cavalry fighting infantry but has anything done horses clashing as well as this? This was pretty damn impressive showing them run into each other convincingly. Rest of the battle was shit though.
Grayson Martinez
Your words are poison
Angel Bennett
Friends actors weren't high paid cause they were good, they were high paid because by the tenth season, they basically said to the producers "either you give us each 2 mil or we're not doing it" so the producers had no choice. Its not like GoT where they can just kill them off or replace them.
Hunter Peterson
>Everybody is posting cavalry fighting infantry but has anything done horses clashing as well as this? This was pretty damn impressive showing them run into each other convincingly. Rest of the battle was shit though.
That's cause horse clashes very rarely happened in history, only a fucking retard of a commander would send horses against horses. I.e. D&D.
Lincoln Nelson
>literally casts Boromir and kills him
Nicholas Morales
It was pretty similar to Rohan vs Wargs from the Two Towers.
Henry Carter
>Is this the greatest cavalry charge of all time?
Not even close.
Charles Wilson
FOR THE RED DAWN
Nicholas Cox
The first thing i saw when i saw the Cav charge was Waterloo
they kind of ripped off the slow motion
Tyler Ramirez
Also a good one
>HEAVY HORSE
Xavier Smith
LOTR didn't do anything better. A bunch of faceless orcs fighting heroes who never die isn't exciting. The battles in LOTR are too structured. There's no sense of chaos or confusion. There's no hopelessness. That scene where Jon kills one of Bolton's soldiers and then kills one of his own Wildings in the frantic pace of war is something that would never happen in LOTR.
Fuck Tolkien. Fuck Peter Jackson. Fuck Trump.
Michael Wilson
Threadly reminder no cavalry in the history of ever would charge into a block of shoulder to shoulder men 3-5 ranks deep, even from behind.
Alexander Torres
Bernard Hill seems like such a stad up guy, he did an amazing job in the movies too.
John Johnson
Finally someone made good use of that shitty forced meme
Easton Flores
yo tell em bae
Michael Garcia
No
Ian Barnes
>then kills one of his own Wildings
I'll take things that never happened for $2,000
Nolan Stewart
Cavalry clashes did happen in field battles. What the fuck are you talking about? Of course horses were sent to fight other horses. Do you think both sides were okay will letting the enemy flank their infantry?

the epitome of low-energy beta cuck
Brody Cooper
Rewatch the scene retard. Two men are fighting and Jon kills them both. It happens after the arrow volley.
Owen Murphy
except this doesn't happen, idiot. They were two bolton soldiers both killing one of the Stark men who was on the ground.
Wildlings don't wear leather doublets
Brandon Evans
Lmfao on the aspects surrounding Boromir's casting.
Jordan Sanders
Luke Bennett
Film Production graduate here.
Whilst LotR is more of a spectacle, GoT succeeds in humanising a battle. The Rohirrim Charge looks nice, but is so grounded in spectacle and fantasy rather than trying to attach any sort of realism, so it is flawed.
The Battle of the Bastards is objectively the opposite, it focuses more on characterisation than spectacle. The key scene is in which Jon is being trampled (a scene which was entirely improvised off-script due to time constraints). The gravity GoT achieves in The Battle of the Bastards makes it far superior in the field of story telling to most similar scenes in other productions (in my view).
I hope to see Sapochnik release a director's cut of tBotB, rather than losing 15 minutes of screentime to Danerys bullshit.
Dominic Gomez
Fuck me, I made a different thread to post this.
Anyway, from a military standpoint, Jon is emotionally retarded.
Liam White
Also, to answer OP's question, it was a decidedly genius strategy and the charge was well implemented.
Benjamin Adams
I mean Ramsay's charge, not the reinforcements, shoot me in the head now.
Oliver Price
>game of reddit fanboys are redditors
What a surprise
Noah Miller
Not the guy you were replying to but the instant tip off was:
>Fuck Trump
Ledditors gotta leddit.
Christian Brown
It's been posted before but it's gotta be the charge by The Royal Scots Greys In Waterloo
No CGI, All extras, and the best battle ever in movies.
