1). Greyworm went from someone who was emotionless to someone who grew to care about two people, both who are now dead so he doubles down in the opposite direction.Ok now I've got my being sympathetic out of the way.
-- What on earth is up with Greyworm. I just don't even understand.
-- Wasted death for Daenerys (why did she have to die literally instantaneously when so many characters have remained alive long enough to deliver a parting oration after being despatched)
-- Jon returning to the Night's Watch and literally transitioning from standing in the throne room of the Red Keep to being an absolute nobody in the space of half an episode
-- Totally unnecessary visual borrowings from other 'big' franchises -- namely Daenerys' speech being so Gleeson in front of the First Order from The Force Awakens, and having Jon sail North instead of ride just to ape the LOTR Grey Havens farewell scene
Uhhhhh.
2). She gave her monologue before she died, that’s the point.
3). I don’t understand this complaint? That’s the point? That’s his punishment they spell that out pretty clearly.
4). To assume that the iconography of an army being talked down to by a leader originated from Star Wars is drawing from a shallow pool of reference. It’s a call back to the work of Leni Riefenstahl, who documented Nazi rallies through film during Hitler’s reign, which is what Star Wars is referencing as well. This is a pretty common trope. Jon killed Daenerys Targaryen, he’s not going to take roads where many people may want him dead. Taking the seas would be the safer option.
