Has anyone else noticed how bad the acting on GOT is this season?

It doesn't even feel the same, like they're reading off teleprompters or something. Mostly the Daneris and Cersei scenes. Oh and the last one where Jon decides to go south, holy fuck that was bad.

I feel like I'm watching a high school play so far this season. What say you Sup Forums?

Everything is substantially worse than seasons 1-4, but I've been watching for six years, so I'm gonna see it through to the end, regardless.

I almost couldn't believe what I was watching when snekbitch said "A foreign invasion is underway" or whatever. Compare that to shit like Varys and Littlefinger trading barbs in the throne room in the early seasons. It's just sad.

Guess you aren't 12 anymore.

I think GoT in general is just shitty now. The show was better in the earlier seasons of 1 and 2, it was interesting, they had interesting characters and awesome actors. Now I dunno, it's just lame and instead the show is filled with the exact opposite.

It's the difference between saying quietly to someone sitting across the table from you that you're going to cut their throat, and shouting loudly in a throne room that you're going to CUT HIS HEART OUT WITH A SPOON.

The actors are not portraying emotional discord anymore. That said we're doing pretty good on crazy. Euron is gr8.

what is she trying to convey here?

hunger

Yeah I don't fucking get it. Suddenly this show is making me cringe so hard every other minute. I don't know if it's the sudden bad acting or the "lesbian girl power!!" "men are all awkward weirdos!".

I fucking loved the first few seasons of this show. Did it actually change, or have I just grown more conservative?

that is what it happens when you kill all the good characters.

Every scene where the acting is bad it is because the point of the scene is to show how Jon snow reacts to X, or how Daenerys reacts to X, all the horrible scenes are "Character sitting in throne trying to speak to it's vassals", and when every vassal is a no name stock big guy, it gets dull.

All the good actors are dead.

Kit Harington is awful Sophie Turner is awful. Maisie Williams is awful. Emilia Clarke is awful. Richard Madden was really the only one in that bunch that was any good.

Peter Dinklage is good, horrible fake accent, guess he can't really help that.

Any other good actors have minor roles now.

>All the good actors are dead.

umm

I think you should go back and watch the last 2 seasons; if anything the younger cast members have improved. Acting quality overall may have still gone down just because they keep killing the best-acted characters.

That was my reaction to Missandei getting naked. I don't think they're taking themselves very seriously this season.

>minor roles

>Richard Madden was really the only one in that bunch that was any good.

His horrible overacting?

You are thinking of Charles Dance, Sean Bean, and Michelle Fairley, user

It's because the character logic isn't there, and it leads you feeling as if it were artificial:

>CIA telling Jon he wants to fuck sis
>Sansa spreading dissent with open questioning
>Jon telling his people he doesn't want to be King, oblivious to the fact that he should have figured out Little Finger is planning to do something
> Euron teleporting right ontop of Yara's ship
> Random lesbian scene to pad things out
> Jorah conveniently located in the tower fat boy is training at
> A giant crossbow is revealed as the secret dragon killing weapon
> The snake girls can't sell a fight scene at all so it lowers believability

Probably missing some points.

>Random lesbian scene to pad things out

Why the fuck was that there it had nothing to do with anything

i think superfluous sex scenes are a given with this network, ever since rome

>Kit Harington is awful Sophie Turner is awful. Maisie Williams is awful. Emilia Clarke is awful. Richard Madden was really the only one in that bunch that was any good.


Kit and Richard are on the same spectrum of shit acting, one just overreacts while the other has no reaction.

Joffrey and Theon were the only good actors

It went to shit quick after season 2

She's trying to convey terrible acting

>rome
That was good tho.

Possibly both, but if things don't change in the next episode HOLY EVERLOVING FUCK

Why a spoon?

Show is much more watchable if you root for the bad guys. Euron going berserk and slaying those annoying lesbians was pretty cathartic.

>yfw Jon bends the knee
I would drop the show on the spot.

No stannis no watch

I never rooted for anyone in the show I suppose I just liked to see the events and storyline unfold

That's the most normal thing. The first 2 seasons were arguably the best ever. The acting, writing, story progression, the music, setting and everything. Now it's almost unwatchable.

Episode 5 he returns as a white walker. Cap this.

Bad guy? Euron? Sandsneks are rebels. Murdered a little princess and their uncle who was like their father. Euron just answered the call from his rightful queen.

I watched season 1-6 in two weeks total, and the drop in quality from 1-4 to 5-6 is insane. Aside from it just being pure filler, it's also badly acted filler at that.

I'm still gonna watch it through but the difference is unreal, it's actually bad now whereas it used to be one of the best shows

Lena Headey is the best actress on the show. She kinda seems to just be phoning it in nowadays, but who can blame her?

His corpse is south of the wall. Not possible.

I literally am watching season 1 right now, on my third attempt to get into the show. I assumed it would get better as it went on, but your comments here are making me wanna stop watching.

the cast and crew are just waiting for their paychecks at this point. nobody really gives a shit. the plebs will cheer like it's a sporting event regardless of whether it's good or not.

All the good actors have either had their characters killed off or been relegated to spectators watching the plot armoured adventures of Jon and Dany. Now the focus is on characters that are both badly written and badly acted, amplifying the impact of each.

Alfie is still good (his acting was amazing the first few seasons). Conleth is underrated. Rory is great.

>Old, established actors in twilight of their careers who need easy money are killed off
>Young, retarded stars of show have no one else to prop them up and conceal their faults
>acting suddenly sucks

?????

my favorite episode of this show is the one where a bunch of dudes get castrated and then some aloof women with 0 experience in ruling over territory are arbitrarily given large swaths of land.

Well, say hello to Long Night

In early seasons ut felt like you were in a new world and all the differing plots would intervene at some point. Now it feels like you are in a meme. And everyone speaks american english.

frogfu is glory eternal

Finish the first season, it's genuinely great. After that you might want to switch over to the books.

That's partly it, and it's partly the classic case of child actors being convincing as children but turning to shit when they grow up.

>a giant crossbow is the secret dragon killing weapon

as opposed to what?

The ballista makes the most sense. How fucking dumb are you to be like "oh gee wonder what they'll come up with to kill a dragon that anyone can use o boy i wonder what they used before when there were dragons i bet it'll be some wizards potion"

get da fuuuuuk outta here.

GoT is shit right now but thats such a dumb point to be made about.

im not sure what these autists expect, crossbows/balistas are the best weapon against a dragon (in medieval lore, at least)

If the quality of latest seasons was the quality the show had at start, it would never have gotten this big.

>kill off all the good actors
>"anyone wonder why the acting levels dropped?"

Who would you cast as Dany?

my anus cyst would be an improvement

kek she looks like she's visibly aging before your eyes and she's trying to stop it.

>recast dany

Saioririshname Ronan. She is literally the only brit/irish/scot/aus actress the right age that has any acting ability.

Why is Kit Harrington considered bad? Jon Snow is kinda supposed to be emotionless, no?

Heck, they killed Smaug with a similar weapon.

It's probably very difficult to act well with such a shit script. This doesn't apply to SLAYQWEEN, she's an all round shitty actress.

this. get her. get anybody else for god's sake

desu she's too good for this shit role

>my queen, we fictional characters in a world of magic and exploding green goo have invented..... A BALLISTA MUAHAHAHA

Did they not already have like 30 of those in storage?

Looks like shit though.

The blame isn't fully on the actors (even though they're totally phoning it in, they know they're irreplaceable).

The writers and directors are to blame with the shitty story arcs and wild changes to how characters react to situations. I expect this to happen when they past the books but I didn't think it would be this bad.

As someone who was born and grew up roughly where kit Harrington is from and then moved up to Hull (the north) his fake accent when he's trying to be serious is so shit it hurts. it seems to have gotten worse as the show progressed

but we americans cant tell, nor should we be able to since we dont really live there. ill take your word for it but im not going to complain if a british actor's western accent is slightly off in a western if he's doing a good job acting.

Also that sansa scene after she undermines John infront of his men

>I am always on your side johnny ; (

Literally could be out of a teenage romantic comedy. Disgusting.

It works.

Salsa has improved though. Kit has been pretty consistent and Maisie for some reason got worse

The acting is the same, you histrionic aspies say the same shit every time a new season of any popular show comes out.

>OH MY GOD CAN YOU BELIEVE THE WRITING/ACTING/PLOT HOLES HAVE INCREASED SO MUCH SINCE [arbitrary earlier season]

Get a life

Literally this.
Seasons 3-5 had scenes that reached peaks from s1-2 but they were way worse as a whole. (Actually that Johny vs white walkers escape was the epic highlight of the whole show) I doubt it will ever be this good again.

No shit.

>this post

was it autism?

Also evry fkn episode has a different director.
WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY THINKING! ?

I don't even come to Sup Forums much. I am here tonight because I just watched last episode and it was the worst of the entire series by a long shot. Wanted to get Sup Forums's opinion on all of the ways it was shit.

>beeing this delusional
I gave them a free pass on all that cheap looking shit(dorn, cgi, costumes) despite the fact that they make millions. I even game a free pass on the deus ex machina bullshit but I won't give them a free pass on this one.

What cheap looking shit? What cheap looking CGI?

Some tight 13 year old and have her redo all the sexscenes

can't remember ever seeing a show where all seven seasons where good. The shield, SoA, Breaking, bad, The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire: they all turned to shit.
They should trim it down to 4 seasons. It's just money getting in the way of quality.

For now yes... It was so cringe even a dialogue in porno is more believable.

Also if D&D killed off bad pussy I'm going to be pissed.

FBI here: we're on our way.

In star trek they start shit and eventually become good.

Too bongy for my liking. Needs to look like Based Viserys with the angular face.

The Sopranos never turned to shit, shut the fuck up.

Haven't seen it since I was a kid. Been planning on rewatching it for a while now.

It's Tyrion storyline, unless he gets to be near cersei or Jaime this season(i doubt he get's a good interaction with jon, would be asking too much of the showrunners) we will not get something witty in a satisfactory way.

Castle black is south of the wall and a corpse reanimated there didn't it? Back in like season 3 or something

So uhhh Gendry and Theon adventures now?

Just imagine drogos massive cock slamming that tight virgin pussy of hers while her whole body is shaking, penetrating into depths that she didnt know were possible, making her feel ways she never felt before and finally pumping that dothraki seed deep into her fertile little body

CUZ ITS DULL YOU TWIT

ITLL HURT MORE

I grew up watching tng but those first couple seasons are tough to watch. I didn't realize they were bad until I rewatched everything in order. Even the actors admit they are bad. DS9 was fairly boring at first too.

>i shouldnt of hid those m&ms in my cheek
>whelp here we go
>*swallows whole bag of caramel m&ms hidden in her cheeks*

it was a family sized bag
poor bag
it never had a chance

I expected something even worse. This happens everytime a show goes past the books. How could it work, they're different people ffs.

I think Costa-Waldau is a genuinely good actor, hope they give him anything to feed of. But right now the dumpster fire that is the relationship of Cersei and him just pisses me off.

The War For Saoirse's Cunt

>horrible fake accent
>peter dinklage isnt a britbong

just looked it up
>american actor
jesus if you never told me i would have never known
nor did i ever care

they're all just hoping their character dies so they can get out

The rules for star trek are as follows. The first and or second season and the last and or last two seasons of each show are awful. watch the middle of them all.

It's been terribly overacted for a while now. It probably has been since the start, but I haven't watched the first few seasons in a few years.

Baelish, Daenerys and Cersei are the worst though.

This season? It's been going on for the past 2-3 at least

If you're just now noticing a decline in the series then you're not too bright

God dammit. That's good.

If Riker ain't got a beard, don't watch that shit, nigga.

>The shield, SoA, Breaking, bad, The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire: they all turned to shit

>the shield
it improved as it went on; everyone agrees on that

>soa
has always been awful

>breaking bad
no considerable dip in quality

>the sopranos
except for the vita arc, season 6 is widely considered one of the best

>boardwalk empire
only jimmyfags think that

The ends are far better than the beginning and still worth watching in my opinion.

This is good advice
