I thought Game of Thrones deserved at least a mention. I could become another echo chamber of all problems with the season, or even comment on how it wasn’t a bad season. It was a painfully average tv season at the end of an amazing story, that abandoned its roots. But there is one unsung group of heros in westeros, that deserve mention. That tailors of westeros.
App whoever was in Daenerys’s side can make very stylish garments that by all means standout in every shot, and every scene. Constantly being surrounded by black, grey, and dirt, she is wearing a pitch white costume. It doesn’t make sense. Shes constantly wearing perfectly nice looking clothes in the middle of The Long Night. It caused a disconnect in every scene she was in. She didn’t feel like “one of the people”, no wonder no one wanted her to be ruler. Shes coming from a land that’s never seen clothing like that, and if shes using Westeros tailors, you’d think someone else would be wearing such high end white fured clothing. Cersei has a similar issue, since shes wearing armor, that never serves a purpose. Falling rocks bested her suit. I get that it helped with her transformation into a evil ruler, to switch between white and black clothes to signify character changes. But fuck, not needed. The burning of the city was quite enough thank you. And like where tf did she even get the white fur for the tailor to make her clothing.
This was just a great example of the show writers choosing style and appearance over actual story telling and realism.
