Demitri_C Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Game of thrones Spoiler Season 4, the Princes death to the mountain. OMG brutal but so unrealistic. As if you are going to be there mocking a guy that size a complete animal. You are going to just kill him and stab him 100s of times until he dies, heck even stab him in the eyes so he cant see if you want to punish him. Great scene but very far fetched. I am on season 4 episode 10 tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted February 9, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 9, 2018 I think you've totally missed the point of his character there Dem. Admittedly his motivations and reasonings are covered more in the books so maybe some of it was lost in translation a little. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted February 9, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 9, 2018 Yes the guys above said... Spoiler Oberon is goading the Mountain to admit he killed his sister and her children on the orders of Tywin Lannister so he can have justice. Sure he wants to kill the Mountain, but he really wants turn incriminate Tywin, and the Mountain is the only one who can corroborate that. So he needed him to talk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I get that but why instead of dancing around not inflict more pain into him if you want him to talk? You have just achieved the impossible and got the mountain on the floor fly risk it? He is a monster and never been beat yet you start mocking him! Madness!

Because he doesn't for a second believe that he's going to lose. That is his character. He's a warrior who is incredibly full of himself and full of righteous self belief that his entire life has been about this act of vengeance for his family.

It's a shame he was killed off so soon I think he was a realky good charchter. The only three charchters I like are tyrion, Jon snow and the hound. If they are die before season 7 im done with this. I dont want to be seeing little finger, the queen and that repulsive ramsey boulton dominating in next few seasons.It's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post hogso Posted February 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2018 To be fair to Dem, the realism in GoT is established early on, so having issue with that scene is fair, I think. It's not like the first scene of the show involves a few trained men being ambushed by magic zombie like creatures, is it? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted February 9, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 9, 2018 I'm not really sure what's unrealistic about an arrogant guy feeling that he had completed his life's goal then taking his eye off the ball at the crucial moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right though, he's a terrific character (and great fun). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reveal hidden contents Did he die in season 4? Just checked - he's come second a bunch of times, but has won Europe's Strongest a few times. Also given he's still fairly young, chances are eventually he'll win the World's Strongest title. He played basketball before getting into the strongman game apparently. Makes sense, he's **** massive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
