I’ll go first. I wish Lemmy communities existed for: destroyed tanks. Ukraine War video report. sopranos duckposting. benzodiazepines.

I will comment more as I think of them.

    Well if you do start one for The Boys I’ll prioritize watching the new season asap so I can contribute to the discussions. It looks like it’s already started last week, actually.

    As for HotD, I can’t help ya there. After the last couple seasons of GoT I lost interest in that world. A shame, as I loved it while they still had books to follow.

      I will create a community somewhere soon (will look in lemmyverse.net and pick a nice instance other than lemmy.world :p), and leave you another comment when it’s ready, so you can subscribe :)

      What they did to GoT after season 4 (probably my favorite; the Oberyn plot is just so good) is nothing short of a crime 🙃 Seasons 5 and 6 still have some good episodes and plot lines, but the lack of source material starts showing. Season 7 takes a deep dive and 8 just disappears into the void. It’s depressing to think about.
      Still, I love the world too much and heard good things about it after a couple of episodes were out, so I decided to give it a try, and loved it. It’s very well done from a more “technical” standpoint (as was GoT, even in later seasons), but the writing is also pretty good. Give it a shot!

        Yeah, I’m sure I’ll eventually get over my disappointment at what the showrunners did to the original and will be in the right headspace to watch other GoT content, but not yet. I still can’t believe what they did to that formerly-beloved show. 😉

        Anyway, I just saw your other comment. I’ll subscribe right away and will start the new season this week a so as to contribute to the discussion. Thanks for doing that!

          No problem! I’ve created separate posts for all episodes, so feel free to chime in as you watch them :)
