Does anyone else feel like Gendre got ugly? Like, before he was kinda handsome, now he looks weird and ugly (TV show ugly, not real life ugly). It was so jarring I asked my wife if they recast him, but she said they had not.

From this:

To this:

His old haircut was sexier, but that's about it.

Didn't kill Jon and Pals? He sent an entire horde after them, killed Thoros, almost killed Thormund, would have killed Jon if it wasn't for Jon's Valyrian blade when the general went after him, Jon almost drowned and then got attacked while he was out, and threw a spear at one of the Dragons with all of his friends on it.

Yet he could've just impaled Jon and the gang while they were stuck on a small cliff for days.

NK didn't really try.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

They didn't let Jon live. They tried to kill him. Is everyone forgetting him getting tackled and breaking the ice?

getting pushed into ice vs the massive swarm of wrights? idk, when he got out of the ice it was just the tail end of the swarm and enough time for benjen to save him. perhaps the delay of time was necessary for benjen to arrive in time and save jon? or maybe this is all the lord of the lights doing?

nothing will ever make sense until its revealed and i love it! i love GoT

Why do the Night King need to break the wall? Viserion can easily transport 300+- wights for his new boss over the wall every day. Assuming 10-person occupancy.

 

[Sephzilla]

Gendry looks like he could play a solid Kyle Reese in a Terminator reboot

so the nightwatch would just wait for the dragon to fly away and kill them

I found it weird when Gendry introduced himself as a Baratheon. I wonder how this will turn out after all.

 

[nubbe]

Gendry's dad killed Jon's dad
Will they still be BFF?

 

[ComputerBlue]

I don't think it will have any negative impact for anyone.

He'll want some fair share of what should be his, and he'll get it. I doubt he would ever even consider going for the crown or anything like that. Dude probably just wants to live out his days without having to break his back as a blacksmith.

Either that or he dies in Arya's arms.

I think he likes smithing, just not for the Lannisters.

Everyone on the cool side seems pretty set on not being beholden to what your parents did. They'll be cool.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Yeah, but he'll do it as a hobby and not as a means to get by in Flea Bottom.

 

[Timbuktu]

His old haircut was sexier, but that's about it.

I remember Gendry being stoic and didn't say much. Seems like he's changed in the years or had a personality transplant. As the Hound said, he's always 'whinging', just in case people forgot where they last saw him. That probably made him less 'attractive' so to speak.

 

[Harmen]

Whoa, watching that again made me think that the Night King never wanted to kill Jon because he knows his role in the future. That white walker could have just stabbed him in the back when he bent over to grab the dragonglass! but plenty of moments the WW just used other means to beat him around. As if the night king is controlling all of the other white walkers as how bran would worg into other things in the world. #mindblown

I don't buy it, the WW seems pretty intent on slaying him and surprised when he is blocked by Valerian steel.

I think the scene is just like many combat scenes in film and tv in general, where the villain is chilling while the hero is crawling around in despair until finding the means to defeat said villain.

At least this villain won't/can't monologue while doing that.

From this:

To this:

Yeah his old look was better. He got skinnier. They shouldn't have had him buzz his hair or shave his goatee.

 

[Ibuki]

He was in hiding, so how was he supposed to keep the exact same look?

 

[Sephzilla]

Gendry using a generic WWE create-a-wrestler look was probably the best way to go incognito

lmao...default lookin' ass.

 

[Volimar]

I always wonder about bearded shaggy haired smiths. Doesn't it make more sense to have less hair that can catch fire from errant sparks? Also, forges are fooking hot.

Lol, no.

 

[andythinkpad]

I like the new Gendry, he can play a young Christian Bale in a time traveling story.

 

[The Artisan]

He was in hiding, so how was he supposed to keep the exact same look?

He was in hiding from Stannis, not the gold cloaks. Davos even asks him if they know what he looks like and he said no. So he went right back to King's Landing, right back to where he was and where he worked, no need for a makeover

There was no makeover, he has a haircut. He looks the same, lmao.

 

[Seductivpancakes]

His haircut makes him look generic as fuck so that was all he needed.

 

[-griffy-]

Gendry is the character in an Elder Scrolls game who asks your character if they want to customize their appearance.

 

[a916]

I hope something accidentally falls on Gendry, like a piece of cloth... in the shape of the Batman cowl.

 

[Pagusas]

There was no makeover, he has a haircut. He looks the same, lmao.

Ugly shaved head, lost the nice shadowy facial hair, his eyes seemed to have popped out and are more bug eyes now, he looks alot skinnier now, and overall his movements and such are janky, like he had a stroke between seasons.


Seriously his eyes really bother me now. They look like "I've seen some shit and do meth" now.

Bale hunted Dragon's in another movie.

So first, the argument is that he got a makeover because he was in hiding, and now the argument is he had no makeover

We wouldn't be having this conversation if he looked the same. His hair is shorter, his goatee is much lighter, and he's skinnier. He looked better before.

He's also a human who has aged 4 years.

All of the characters are humans that have been aging. What's your point?

 

[-griffy-]

You're acting like they actively gave him some weird new look. He's the same guy, aged 4 years, who has shorter hair. That's it.

 

[Vashetti]

The actor wasn't getting much work between his time off from Thrones and hasn't kept in shape as much.

Not complicated.

 

[Volimar]

Dear God we need Sunday to get here fast. The bickering is reaching peak ridiculousness.



Anyone else really want to see a quality Jaime/Dany interaction? I feel like we were robbed of one when he escaped with Bron.

This meeting is gonna be so fucking weird and wild. Presumably damn near every major character left (minus Sansa, Arya, Bran and Littlefinger) is gonna be in one location.

 

[Oberon]

At this point, whe'll have to make Fan theories on who's NOT the Knight King.

Not some guy that lived thousands of years ago, thats for sure

 

[SamTrips]

He was in quite a few things, This Is England '90, One of Us...he's not been sat on his arse the entire time.

Yes, but nothing on Thrones' scale.

I'm not acting like anything dude. I just wish they would've kept his looks the same as when they introduced him, that's all. Minor complaint but it's still a complaint I got nonetheless

 

[BarringGaffner]

he looks like he had 4 years of a shit life. ie accurate

 

[OrionX]

Wow poor Gendry. I think it's mainly just the hair, not really a fan of the buzz cut. I'd still help him polish his hammer anytime though.

It's the hair and facial hair. Surely wouldn't call him ugly.

 

[Seductivpancakes]

They just made him look more rugged and worn, which is like the most generic thing you can do to a character to show physical growth and hardship.

There's no way he should look the same. He isn't one of the main characters, but he's seen some shit.

He accepted that he's a Baratheon, and that it's his duty to dissolve into an unattractive lump the moment he hits 30. He's just getting a head start.
