Let's ignore how they completely butchered Tyrion's last scene with Tywin, and how it devolved into two lines being repeated over and over again.
Like what? He's not likely to do much with everything cut. Maybe he'll get to exchange a few words with Dany before she flies off.
So? Book Tyrion had no motivation to join Dany at the end of Book 3 this is basically the same situation how bout we actually wait for the season to air before jumping to conclusions.
I'm not sure what you mean. tysha was his reason to go to essos, but not to Dany.
Sure. The same material would not work at all in the show. And I don't have faith in the writers to replace it with anything good. I'm fine if they just axe the whole thing.
Huh? Tysha was inexplicably cut at the end of S4, so I'm not sure what you're getting at.
Like others have said, the show completely cut Tyrion's main motive for killing his father, and cut he and Jaime parting on bad terms, and cut his revealing of Cersei's rampant unfaithfulness to Jaime, which also effects Jaime's attitude and actions toward Cersei going forward. Why cut that stuff? They're only going to have to make up a bunch of stuff to fix it. It's not like they didn't have the time.
I meant tysha was not his reason to join dany, only to go to essos. but you already answere that right here.
Payoff with his interaction with Jamie, as well as being a darker Tyrion who wants to kill his family. If he remains pretty much the same as a character after all that, than the show runners have not done a good job. In the books he has definitely changed and not for the better.
I see. TWOW and ADOS will probably be filled with battles, though, and that usually gets cut, so who knows.
Yes, he had to have the book released by March/April 2015 so they could adapt it in season 6. That chance is gone now.
I agree, changing some of that character development is a much bigger problem, but then again Asha's hilariously terrible scene didn't mean anything to us because we knew nothing was going to happen. It must've been much more frustrating to the unsullied.
Yup. I think the thing that broke Tyrion wasn't just the revelation that Tysha was not just a whore after all, but that Jaime, the one person in his family whom he liked, and whom didn't wish him dead, was complicit in the lie all along. It was pretty devastating in the book, and prompted his own revealations about Cersei, which have a pretty big knock on effect on Jaime's actions later. The show threw all that away for no reason really. There was plenty of time for that exchange to take place.
That's true, but there's also a lot of garbage in the show that wasn't in the books. It would be good if instead of padding out their limited running time with extended brothel scenes and shit they just made up, they just paid more attention to the good book material they're not throwing out.
Why is everyone acting as if that's the only reason why Tyrion has to go to Essos in the show? As if the murder of the King and his Hand isn't a good enough reason to get the hell out of dodge. Hiding out from your vengeance ridden sister who just happens to be the Queen in another country seems like a good idea.
And that is why it's such great drama when Tyrion rejects him and they get separated. It was heartbreaking and sad and powerful, and started Tyrion down his dark path even deeper.
Oh please I always rolled my eyes at the development it was another case of George injecting drama into the plot when there didn't really need it be. Does it make for good drama? Yes. Is it a unnecessary development put into the books for the sake of pitting Tyrion against Jaime? Absolutely.
