Fanedit: Game of Thrones - Film VII - The Wars of Ice & Fire
Original: Game of Thrones: Season 6
Author: Anjohan
Released: 2022
Spoilers ahead.
This film covers a large part of S6, and ends where the show’s Season 6 ends, with major plotlines in the North, at King’s Landing, and in Slaver’s Bay wrapped up. ie what George RR Martin should’ve given us with A Dance with Dragons, but oh well. The A/V quality and editing is solid as usual, but I’ve noticed in all of the films so far drops in bitrate. One comment on audio editing: at 2:59:30 there’s a very abrupt music change. Otherwise, all good, and good rescoring again.
Comments I made whilst watching:
The Bran visions are edited so that more things are shown.
The Tower of Joy scene is re-edited to remove the Three Eyed Raven. Well done.
Yara references the dumb escape mission from S4. I guess that means Anjohan kept in that subplot. I would’ve dropped that subplot entirely, it was terrible.
Removal of the kingsmoot. It works well without the Kingsmoot. And the Kingsmoot was shockingly weak in the original, so might as well drop it.
Bronn, a sellsword, is giving tips on siege tactics. I would cut it.
Edd being Lord Commander doesn’t make any sense. They have elections, it’s like the showrunners forgot about the opening of S5. That ought to have been cut
I would’ve dropped Asha bullying Theon at Volantis or wherever they were, doesn’t add anything.
Very solid visual & audio editing of the scenes involving the Lady Crane subplot.
Delaying the reveal that Ramsay has Rickon was a smart move.
Continuity error where Arya is stabbed by the Waif is fixed.
Battle of the Bastards is still too long, it doesn’t seem like much was cut from it.
Good streamlining of the Trial sequence.
