No Spoilers [NO SPOILERS] Science-Fiction & Fantasy Film & TV Posters Survey (18+)
My name is Rhianna, I am a PhD Student doing research at Brunel London University on the topic of Film and Television Studies.
My research is called 'Windows of Fantasy: The Significance of Science Fiction and Fantasy Film and Television Posters' and is on science fiction and fantasy posters.
The aim of the research is to explore the significance of science-fiction and fantasy posters for individuals and groups as a source of cultural significance and meaning. This could help generate a better appreciation of what posters really mean to their owners.
If you are an adult (18+) owning physical (i.e., paper, card, canvas etc) and/or digital (i.e., wallpaper on devices such as a laptop, tablet, desktop, and mobile phone) science-fiction and fantasy film and television poster(s) could you please complete my online survey?

No Spoilers [No Spoilers] i never watched GoT
Hi guys, like the title says, I have never seen GoT. I'm the kind of person who waits a couple of years to watch things (I know it sounds crazy and weird) because
I prefer watching things after the dust settles
Anyway, my time has come! Tell me what I should be prepared for!
P.S. I haven't even watched a single short video, TikTok, or anything like that!

Spoilers [SPOILERS] I blame Robert Baratheon and Ned Stark the most Spoiler
I have enjoyed re-watching the Game of Thrones. Many people I blame, but Robert Baratheon and Ned Stark, I blame the most.
Westeros fell into anarchy because the people with the power to save it were paralyzed by their own personal ghosts.
Rhaegar and Lyanna acted out of selfish romance or prophecy, ignoring the political powder keg they were igniting.
Robert rebelled and won the throne out of necessity (the mad king wanted his head on a spike) but lacked the emotional maturity to rule or move on from Lyanna.
Ned knew that Robert’s entire worldview (and the founding myth of the Baratheon dynasty) was built on the premise that Rhaegar was a rapist and Lyanna was a victim. Protecting Jon Snow’s identity required Ned to let Robert keep believing that lie.
Ned considered it necessary to withhold the truth (in order to protect his nephew - Jon Snow), but in doing so, he failed to be the friend and statesman that Robert and the realm desperately needed.
Ned should have at least stayed by Robert’s side in King’s Landing, kept Robert sober, and countered the Lannisters' influence. He didn’t.
Robert's depression and complete apathy toward governing was disastrous. He bankrupted the realm, ignored Cersei’s infidelity, and completely failed to create a legitimate, stable succession plan, making a devastating civil war inevitable the moment he died.
By the time Ned finally returned to Kings Landing as the King’s Hand, the damage was already done. Robert was too far gone, the Lannister roots were too deep, and the War of the Five Kings was already inevitable.
How the show should have really ended - Westeros did not survive Daenerys’ roasting of Kings Landing. The country disintegrated back into seven independent kingdoms, serving as the ultimate deconstruction of Aegon’s Conquest.

Spoilers [SPOILERS] What I think of the "Dragons" Spoiler
The buildup of danys character and her parallels with Aegon the conqueror shows that anyone who has seen the entire show and still roots for daenerys should literally not he able to vote. I cant say her intentions were wrong all along since the beginning of her journey as the last of her house. But knowing an entire population of more than one MILLION innocents were used as leverage on her and still chosing to needlessly slaughter them shows Robert, as bad of a king as he was called, was right about her.
Targaryens are a plague to Westeros. Its literally fantasy colonialism that is shown to us with inbred aliens using disproportionnate weapons called "magical" to "conquer" when it actually breaks an order that had enough problems by itself. It absolutely baffles me to see people literally worship them just because they look cool. All they brought to Westeros were needless slaughters and more instability.
Some targaryens were of course well-meaning, but from what i understood, GOT and HOTD simply shows that targaryens do not and never deserved to rule and anyone who thinks otherwise had failed the media literacy test considering the first show proves they cant bring anything good to westeros and the second proving they are too greedy to rule themselves, let alone rule entire kingdoms.
Now what I criticize D&D for is actively making the audience want to root for some targaryens. I know George R. Martin himself has targaryens in his favorite characters, but i still think Daenerys’ impulsivity and loss of sanity didnt show properly how unable to rule it made her.
Perhaps im just saying this because not a fiber in my body can tolerate seeing people defending and justifying the actions of tue show versions of Daenerys, Rhaenyra and Daemon.

No Spoilers [NO SPOILERS] no subtitles in the game of thrones?
Really hope this reaches somebody.
I’ve just started watching Game of Thrones and I am very confused. At first I thought that was the point but now I feel like I’m missing part of the story. Are there supposed to be subtitles for when they speak foreign languages?! I am still in season one but there are long scenes with just foreign language with no subtitles and I feel like I should know what they’re talking about but I feel completely in the dark. Feels like I’m third wheeling or something.
I am watching on an “illegal” website (not gonna get a subscription for only one series) so I keep wondering if that’s the case but I’ve watched other shows where they speak foreign languages and they’re always translated which is why it made me think no subtitles was part of the experience in the first place. Then I googled and it said that there are supposed to be subtitles :(
So what I am asking is could anyone be kind enough to recommend any sites where I could watch the show with subtitles that actually translate everything? Please it kills me not knowing what they’re saying and I have a feeling it will get worse.

Saw the post earlier about which death felt the saddest so it made me wonder what do y'all think about the most underwhelming death in the show. Like this guy should've died harder.

Was it just bad writing or there was literally no one left to sort of persecute cersie for this? Biggest Rival house tyrell was erased along with her own uncle and cousin Lannisters so it's the worst kind of crime even for a society like that but hey let's crown her the queen with absolute no merit other then mother of a bastard King after he jumped from the window.

Spoilers [SPOILERS] does it make sense for Arya to be the one killing night king? Spoiler
If it was supposed to be the prince who was promised? Aka jon or Dany?
Like yes they were both instrumental in defeating the night king but why did it have to be Arya to stab him?
Jon was the one who fought them repeatedly, united wildling and men in other words raised the army against them, hell even Dany had a better story, like losing her dragon and ser jorah, even she was also reasonable but Arya? Out of all people?
No offense I love the character and am glad she put an end to it but seriously what were the writer thinking?!
Also Melisandre knew it would be Arya who'd do it right so why didnt she focus on her instead of stanning stannis and then reviving Jon to ultimately unite him with dany?!
