Yeah being strong enough to cleave a man in two makes you superman invulnerability to knives. That surprise attack in the back should of just bounced off him.
It is known.
It's the same retard argument from last season. Barristan selmy and 6 unsullied dying from hundreds of assassins fighting in a narrow corridor? No way man

This isn't the show different from the book. This is the show expanding on shit that hasn't happened yet in the books and we think its dumb. It'll probably happen in the books too, whenever that is.
I guess you could argue that the book wouldn't have had Areo Hotah go out that way, so it's a book/show complaint. But whatever. It's dumb whether it happened in the book or not.

ya know, its not nerdrage butthurt, you should be mad too. areo hotah and barristan selmy were truly incredible warriors and now not only do we never get to see them in their glory cutting down fools, but neither will you. im not even going to get into the lack of Strong Belwas or The Golden Company.

This show/book has constantly been about people dying in less than glorious situations. Robert gored by a boar after being drugged, fucking tywin lannister probably the biggest badass in the kingdom, killed while taking a shit.
Granted, Renly and Ned had kinda cool deaths as did I'm sure rhaegar in the battlefield, but it's all random and I think that's something Martin is getting at with death in his stories.

Lies. Every warrior who was scary as fuck died because someone bigger and badder than them challenged them straight up and they lost. No one ever took down someone more powerful than them in an indirect way. This show has jumped the shark. If RR Martin was in charge he would have skull-fucked the shark, and ate it's children. Blah Blah Blah.
Decent episode. Blue balling Jon's return is fucking stupid, but other than that it was a solid episode for what they achieved in an hour.

Its stupid to us, but probably not stupid for ratings reasons...they are going to milk that shit another 2 episodes I bet to try to keep viewership as high as it was last night.

People aren't complaining that they are dying dumb deaths. A lot of characters do. The problem is there's those badass characters dying in the show without ever actually having their moment of fame. Areo Hotah in the show is some dumb lardass who used to stand around with a poleaxe and died stabbed by a 12yo girl with a gerber knife, whereas in the book he was the guy known for chopping fools in half, shoulder to crotch.
Martell actually was a patient schemer with a deep hatred for the Lannisters who dies in the show as some spineless weakling.
It's not butthurt, it's disappointment to see characters ripped of everything that made them interesting for the sake of expediency. Why bother to even have them there?

He was a ultra patient schemer but not a very good one, his masterplan was retarded and had already failed. His impatient daughter was the only one to do anything by disobeying him and is set up to continue to do so with the fake targ heir.
He does nothing and is pretty much irrelevant. His daughter, or in the show ellaria sand, is gonna carry that story forward

The butt hurt from the book nerds is reaching epic proportions. Maybe they'll do a Kickstarter and make their own version of GOT with what they would've done differently!

Why's is so hard to accept that the book and the shows are different?
I also never understood people that wanted books to be EXACTLY like a tv show or movie. Shouldn't you want something a little different than the exact same story you've already read?
