Now that AT&T owns HBO and GRRM is no longer writing the story solo it feels a lot less edgy. Still enjoy it a lot but when they made a big deal about the priest dying I knew it was going to be watered down in terms of casualties.
A battle that huge where 95% of the fighters die and almost all the main core characters skate through is a lot unrealistic. The outcome is starting to vaguely resemble one of those dumb superhero movies for idiots where all the main good guys always win and never get hurt... That's why GRRM was always so great... The realism of ppl you like and don't like dying in war and the unpredictability.
But still have faith there will be a plot twist or two. Also even if not will be interesting to see who out of jon/Dany, arya/gendry or one of the lannister crew gets the throne.
