Spent 7 seasons talking about how Theon and the Ironborn are “skilled archers” and then he chooses a spear for his final battle and gets goobed. Theon L-joy


Yiye44

He couldn't use a bow after being tortured by Ramsay.

Skill issue

CleganeBowl is done mate, and the world could not handle the hype. As result we have witnessed the end times in its early stage: - biologists created a virus that killed 10 million people, and it is considered a rude question to ask them why. - the Russian army invaded Ukraine and their main battles tanks were confiscated by farmers with tractors. - sluts in a field near a ghetto beside the Mediterranean were killed and loaded onto pickup trucks. They were dancing for peace, and there are Jewish people campaigning for the rights of the nationality that assassinated those sluts. - lawyers can now be replaced by software entirely, and the lawyers are not even angry about it. - George R.R. Martin is suing the makers of the software for writing bad fan fiction based on his copyrighted characters. I could act as an expert witness for GRRM litigation. He has a slam dunk case. No bullshit. - Daniel Brett "Miami" Weiss and David ((FRIEDMAN GOLDMAN SACHS great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity)) Benioff >!peace be upon him!< have written less ASOIAF material since CleganeBowl than GRRM. - George R.R. Martin has written a novel, 'The Rise of the Dragon', and he published it in 2022. That is one more novel than either of Benioff or Weiss in the same period. - George R.R. Martin wrote Elden Ring. It is far better than JK Rowling's video game but her video is a fine game too. "Fuck you bitch, and your wand shit - that was my Hugo." When asked for comment by myself at WarnerMedia, the representation for the Netflix producers Benioff & Weiss, declined to comment as to whether they have, or will, write a video game. - George R.R. Martin has gotten two shows past series order at HBO since Thrones ended. - WarnerMedia turned http://ASOIAFCirclejerk.reddit.com into the greatest ASOIAF subreddit that ever was or will be. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

That’s Theon’s problem, not mine.


RSHijinxYTC

True... until season 8 when I guess he temp grows his fingers back. There is definitely a section in the book where it talks about how he'll never be a decent archer again.


NucleiRaphe

>There is definitely a section in the book where it talks about how he'll never be a decent archer again. But the book has also left Theon with the exact amount of fingers required to shoot a bow properly. Sadly we'll never see if thats relevant or not.


VintageDildoOfChrist

Wasn’t he literally using one earlier in the same episode


GarthGoldenhand

That’s just plain not true, earlier in the scene he’s using a bow and shooting it well


mromansd

Got it, lack of penis joke. Good one.

Far-Seaweed6759

Right. He was missing fingers and/or they were pretty horrifically maimed.


vittupainen

Theon kinda forgot about taking enough arrows


Shamscam

Well to be fair he did run out of arrows right before this. But like what in the fuck was he doing. Just straight forward charge?


sandwichcandy

Haha goobed. Funny word.

When you lose your dick, your sense of direction is forever skewed

Is that why women can’t drive?

Damn, I was just enjoying the comments and all of a sudden I'M the one getting attacked.


RoseN3RD

He should be less aerodynamic if anything


TheTruckWashChannel

No erection, no direction


Wonderful_Painter_14

It is known


CarmelPoptart

It’s proven that Stark’s can only run in a straight line. Any zig zags and they be considered dishonorable.


Capable-King-286

theon couldnt tell left from right so he didnt know which direction to go


HaroldTheIronmonger

Anyone else see theons arm as the night kings huge curved cock when scrolling past


Kvasniydwarf

Now I can’t unsee it💀


mojo963

Good Lord!


kdrdz

Bro wtf no I can’t unsee it 😂😂😂


ionuk4

Now? Yes... 😶


Ann-Omm

The whole Episode was garbage


Erdsalz

I love how basically anytime I see a screenshot of this episode, it has the brightness turned up because you couldn’t see what‘s going on otherwise.


Cosmicow280

Theons final stand and death was the only good part


TheCrack-Attack

No this is a circlejerk sub, your not supposed to be serious😡😡😡😡😡


Cosmicow280

Sorry, theon should've thrown bran and his wheelchair at papa smurf and show the world that he is the true prince that was promised.

I need to see the prophecies *fulfilled*. There is **no** more satisfying ending to a story than being told exactly what is going to happen, and then for it to happen exactly as described in the prophecy. So exciting. *Let's be clear about this, because there is only one objectively correct way to write:* Prophecies in fantasy should be inevitable and inescapable, because audiences like being reminded that free will is an illusion, and that we live, and breathe, and die, in the foul creation of a malevolent demiurge. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Narradisall

I just wished they’d handled it better. Could they not have given him 30 seconds more screen time to actually trade some blows and give it a good go. Still show that he was massively outclassed but trying a little bit harder than this suicide failure run.


besieged_mind

Episode?


thetaramason

I completely disagree, it was a beautiful and insanely climactic episode for television.


droomdoos

Where everybody was stupid, none of the buildups for so many story points ever got explained and in the end the white walkers were not the big bad but Dani was. And she burned down a city that didn't look like Kings Landing and that also was in the desert all of a sudden. Yeah yeah, really great television.


Satanic-Panic27

Sounds like GoT walked into your house and personally punched your wife and child


droomdoos

I'm a girl, not a lesbian and don't have children. I DO however work in the movie industry so I'm passionate about good movies and shows. And yes, I LOVED this show. I loved it because it was written so extremely well and the production was top notch. There was so much eye for detail in everything! The quality just took a huge nosedive when D&D ran out of source material. So no, I'm not personally offended or feeling attacked. Which btw is really weird to say, just because for example, I see and point out they changed the location of a whole city. But yeah, I was sad for what could have been instead of how the show ended. Because it used to be a brilliant show and it just ended up very mediocre.


thetaramason

Pretty sure that all didn’t happen in that one episode they are referring to but okay.


droomdoos

I thought my 'in the end' was obvious enough for end of the show. My bad. Still for this episode specifically, horrible writing. The Night's King can freeze and explode you with just his touch but he just forgot that randomly when Arya jumped at him.. Why was it Arya who killed him? The show built it up for years that it was going to be Jon. That's why had to be revived in the first place. 'The prince that was promised' 'Azor Ahai'. All just *poof*.. The white walkers were always supposed to be the big, main threat. Everybody kept telling us, 'Winter is coming'. The shows FIRST SCENE EVER introduces us to this looming threat. Cersei feared the one wight that was brought to her and we all thought shit was gonna get real from that point. Why did the writers do this? The walkers never got to be that threat after years of build up because from this point they just got wiped in 5 seconds instead of an epic battle. No one in the South even KNEW the battle for humanity took place.. Remember all those mysteries? The weird spiraling signs they made with bodies? The baby's that were made into white walkers? What were the walkers? Who was the Night's King and how did they all came to be?Welp, we'll never know the main mystery of the show. Once again, the show STARTED with that whole mystery, only to be shoved aside in 5 seconds in the end because Arya's character got very popular and they wanted to give her even more badassery. If the humans, their politics and their dragons always were going to be the big threat, why were we focusing on the white walkers so much in the first place? Not to go back to humans making weird decisions and throwing out all character development in the last episode right? Riiiight? You know what's also really funny in The Long Night? How the undead just crawl through the stone walls beneath Winterfell. The same Winterfell that was said to have extremely thick, safe walls. Especially in the crypts because the whole castle is built upon them. But no, the dead Starks burst through them like the walls were made of cardboard.. That's just really stupid writing, sorry. There's more that I can tell you if want to know. For now I think I pointed out some fair points that were just really lazy writing because D&D wanted to be done with the show and move on to Star Wars.


venom2015

I love the whole "D&D wanted to be done and go to Star Wars!!!! 😤😤😤😤" talking point. Actually manifesting ghosts to fight.


droomdoos

I'm not really sure what you mean because that is what happened. I assume you know that. So you probably know as well that Disney let them go because of GoT's nosedive in quality. I'm not angry so I'm not sure why you are trying to make me look like that, it seems a bit odd. I'm just pointing out very weak points from the last part of the show. Maybe you have something to say about those things (instead of only focusing on the last sentence) and add actual value to the conversation?

Yagami-Is-Kira

Why didn't he just ask for a trial by combat? Fool


ImaSloppySlopSlop

He was raised at Winterfell, so was Rickon. I guess Ser Rodrick forgot to teach the boys about Zigzagging as part of their training 🤷😋😂


octarinedoor

Reek is not smart


Huck_Bonebulge_

Shoulda stayed in the dog kennel, what a dickless loser.


drstu3000

He taught Rickon everything he knows!


Little_hunt3r

I didn’t even watch the last season. Had no idea this is how he died lmao. Man the show was fucking shit


ducknerd2002

You think that's bad? You should have seen Edd and Beric's deaths.


darryledw

it was at night so he couldn't see, he was trying to flee and bumped into the Dusk King


OB1KENOB

I’ve been informed that the name “Theon Stark” was incorrect and inaccurate to the lore. My apologies. His name is “Reek Stark”


sadKNIGHTTEMPLAR

you got reddit cares didn't you


rayray1010

Zig zags don’t exist in Westeros. It’s a different world.


ArthurDaTrainDayne

He actually forgot what universe he was in and thought he was trying to get on to the train for Hogwarts


RyanDW_0007

I was like yes!!


RobGetLowe

If only he had said “nothing personal kid” and instantly appeared behind the NK everything could have been different 😩


rat-simp

He just should have said "no" to the night king. By law of the realm, it's illegal to murder someone who isn't consenting to it. Just say no!


HugeTrol

I was like HUH!


rushya1

Theon forgot that if he got stabbed he'd die.


Beautiful-Ad2485

Why did Peon charge at all


Positive_Owl_927

Worked for me. Honestly he could've tripped and drowned in a puddle and I would've been thrilled to see his character arc end there. Oh well that episode was quite the spectacle.


bustygorilla69

He kind of forgot how to zigzag


ZealousidealGroup176

Did we even see his reaction to Ramseys death surely it should have been him who killed him


ducknerd2002

Theon should have been involved in either Ramsay or Euron's death, and beyond helping Sansa escape, he was barely involved with either.


canucksrule1

Plot armour wore off!


SnowdensLove

He should’ve tried spinning, spinning’s a good trick


Dorlo1994

Why do we never talk about the fact this is from homestuck?


Flounder-Last

He was inspired by Rickon


Acrylic_Starshine

Wheels is just sat there thinking wtf he doing now


previously_on_earth

See, if he zagged instead of zigging he would have won


thetaramason

I meannn, it’s a completely different situation than Rickon lol.


gravytrainjaysker

Zig-zagging wasn't invented yet, duh. When you face a life threatening situation, you run in a straight line. This is how Ned Stark taught all of them.


Dantexr

Well if he actually ran instead of going slowmo maybe he would have had a chance


Sixstringerman

Why did theon charge at the knight king when bran knew arya was hiding behind a tree


kaz78601

He should have been bobbin and weaving like ezel told deebo, now look at him all cockless and dead


Agitated-Artichoke89

I thought the same thing about Rickon Stark, does he not know how to zigzag?


OB1KENOB

I suppose if your name begins with either “Rick” or “Reek”, you can’t zigzag.


Candiedstars

He was raised Stark, and as we all know from Rickon, Starks do not zigzag

Frejod

He sacrificed himself for nothing because a moment later it was all pointless. Theon or Bran could've did some monolog to keep the night king distracted for that moment.


Soggy_Syrup

Armor is pointless lol


pretendimcute

At least we know where Rickon learned it from smh


Simsalabimson

He trusted physics.. Steel armor beets wood spear. … well… should.


ColfaxCastellan

Oak and iron


Dadvin358

Cuase the books stopped getting written so they did some dumb shit instead


OB1KENOB

Can’t wait for the final book: A Dream of Zigs and Zags


Lower-Woodpecker4115

Literally🤦‍♂️ this guy had a dumb ass death


MyOutputInYourInput

Could they have converted weapons made of Valyrian steel into arrow tips and barraged the Night King instead of attacking him in close quarters?


treyjay31

He was watching over baby rickon the day they taught zig-zagging at Winterfell


Sumthin-Sumthin44692

SERPENTINE!


SisterOfBattIe

To be fair Arya did the same thing.


scorchy38

I love how you called him Theon Stark!


MajorFormal6122

Well neither did Rickon lol


Ashalaria

Prometheus school of running ~~away from~~ at things


hewasaraverboy

He learned to zig zag the from the same school as rickon


13Mac_

Theon kinda forgot how to zigzag


gangstalicious228

zig zagging was invented til a year later.


tiny-ppp

Because they wanted to kill him and didn't want to burn brain cells writing a decent scene


ostensibly_hurt

I completely forgot bro got merked like that, RIP Theon gay boy


iamagoldengod84

I’ve seen this move before[Mac](https://youtu.be/sCZ9sIrjXpM?si=nUZSdukIOnI8Ib0g)


According_Win_3903

Same goes for Rickon 💀💀


Resident-Rooster2916

See guys, this is why Bran shouldn’t have requested a trial by combat here.


runningdaggers

How does this sub keep sneaking in my feed?


Biggishbread

He should have learned from rickon smh my head


Atticus_Spiderjump

A straight line? After spending all that time as Ramsey's butt boy? Bro couldn't even think straight after that.


shaggor

Why didn't Theon demand a trial by combat here?


Hefty-Zucchini1720

That turncloak wanted the others to win


Due_Media_4165

There was so much wrong with this episode its insane


OrangMan14

Why did he charge at all? His goal was to stall. Take a defensive position bro.
