Game of Thrones: The Bells (2019)
Wow what a stupid episode
I was actually going to this expecting a good episode and to prove the naysayers wrong but boy were they right. Let's talk about the stupid moments.
- Varys get killed just for questioning the queen's position to the throne and yet Tyrion and Jon doesn't really seem to think Daenerys might be going too far.
- Daenerys just killed innocent people for no reason. A better way to have her go evil would be that she would have to kill innocent people to get to Cersei but no she just kills innocent people for fun.
- Why didn't Dany go for Cersei first instead of spending 30 minutes just killing innocent people?
- Around 40 scorpions couldn't get a single shot on the Drogon while on the last episode Euron managed to get 3 perfect shots on Rhaegal that was flying almost at full speed.
- The Hound just let Cersei go for some reason, I guess the Hound just wanted her to have a heartfelt moment with Jamie.
- The Hound took about 30 seconds to figure out that stabbing the head instead of the shoulder and body is the best way to get the mountain off of him.
- The Hound didn't just push the mountain off and escape, he had to go with him because it's an epic death I guess.
- Euron managed to survive a massive explosion and get on shore just in time for the climatic fight with Jamie.
- Jon Snow was even more of a useless idiot than he was in the Battle of Winterfell.
- Arya managed to survive an incredible amount of rubble falling on top of her.
Getting past the stupid moments, the episode was just boring. It was 40 minutes of the dragon burning stuff and people running away. Did this episode really have to be as long as it was? The first 30 minutes was good and the dragon burning all the ships and scorpions in the beginning of the battle was pretty awesome but it went downhill after.
Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Massively disappointing movie
If you thought the Russo movies was making a serious movie after they made Winter Soldier and Civil War, think again. This is just another Joss Whedon movie with crappy jokes and one liners throughout the entire movie. Also some of the characters I liked the most were underutilized in the movie like Captain America and Black Panther. Instead they focused on the Guardians, Thor, Iron Man, Spider Man, Doctor Strange, and Hulk. All these characters were full of crappy jokes and one liners in a movie that's about a mad titan trying to destroy half of the universe
Also, the actions scenes were disappointing. There were some pretty impressive action scenes like Hulk vs Thanos and Iron Man/Spider Man/Doctor vs Thanos in the end. But there's really not a single action scene that is as memorable as the highway fight scene in Winter Soldier or the airport fight scene in Civil War. Most of the action scenes were people just flying back and explosions and it almost felt like a Transformers movie sometimes. Another strange thing about the action scenes is that when it would get really good it would cut into another scene somewhere else.
Thanos by far is easily the best thing in the movie. He actually has depth to him and his scenes with Gamora were some of the strongest scenes in the movie. He also didn't say stupid jokes like Ultron did and was mostly serious for the whole movie which is a huge plus. I did laugh in the end though when he snapped his fingers and people were turning to ash, it was so overly dramatic that I chuckled when some of the characters disappeared. The other villains which I believed are the Black Order all looked like villains from a Warcraft game, all cgi and they looked stupid except for Ebony Maw who died too quickly.
All in all, this should have a been a much more serious movie along like the lines of Winter Soldier and Civil War and most of the actions scenes had too much going on with stupid jokes that undermined the tension of it. The story also wasn't really that good except for Thanos's character who was so good that I was rooting for him instead of the stupid sitcom characters known as the Avengers.Very disappointing movie.
