Even George R.R. Martin Was Surprised by That Poop Scene in 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms'

ugh i felt so uncomfortable watching that scene lol what they did was actually pretty bold considering how graphic it was but at the same time i can see why ppl would be taken aback i mean who hasn't had a crappy day where it feels like everything is coming back up the way they wove Dunk's struggle with self-doubt into that scene was pretty clever tho and i love how they weren't afraid to get real about the not-so-glamorous parts of being human

I'm literally dying over here thinking about Dunk's crappy moment ! I mean, I love how they're trying to humanize him, but oh man, that was just cringeworthy . I can see why Martin was taken aback, it's definitely not something you see in Game of Thrones or other epic fantasy shows. But at the same time, it's kinda brilliant? It's like, okay, yeah, heroes are supposed to be flawed and vulnerable, but still... . I love that they're embracing the awkwardness and self-doubt, because let's face it, who hasn't had a crappy moment (literally or figuratively) when we felt like giving up? Anyway, can't wait for the next episode!

omg i need to talk about this part where they depict dunk doing projectile diarrhea lol what a wild twist i mean i get why martin was skeptical at first but i think the showrunner got it right. its all about humanizing dunk and showing us that even heroes have flaws. its not like they're mocking martin's characters or story, its more like...well, let's just say we've all been there with our own crappy moments (lol) anyway, i'm intrigued to see how the rest of the series unfolds!
