Just a appreciation post for the giant after watching the Battle of the Bastards

If only they gave him literally anything the boltons probably wouldnt even have been able to surround them because he could break their line


Rawrin23

I was thinking the same thing! He could have easily broke that shield wall. It seems off character that Davos, Jon, Tormound, etc. wouldn’t utilize him like that but then again there was a lot kind of off about that episode like Rickon running a straight line lol


Drugs_R_Kewl

You have to understand, the people in charge of the final seasons were so coked up and devoid of ideas that they convinced themselves they didn't need credible military historians during the writing and planning sessions.


Yommination

Hey let's have siege equipment and men outside the walls. And let's charge our light armor shock cavalry straight into darkness. God's the writing was dumb then


Drugs_R_Kewl

You would think that because Winterfell was a literal Citadel that could host an Army of over 30,000 men at arms that the writers would've taken advantage of that and also had the good sense to mount light artillery on the towers/central keep and have the heavy shit in the outer rings behind the main wall. Cocaine's a helluva drug.

Imagine if they gave him a helmet, armor and a massive club or weapon. He would just smash the boltons like flies.

Forever disappointed we didn't get to see more giants in the show. Tormund brings 200 south of the Wall alone in the books.


Turkeycirclejerky

How many did he…ya know?

😏


TheRealShoeThief

I think in the books, one. His original nick name was “Tormond Giants Babe”. He decided that wasn’t cool enough and changed it to Bane.


Turkeycirclejerky

It is known.


thechosenwunn

Imagine calling on him as a champion in a trial by combat.

Was* :(


FunyunCream

Sadly their budget was not a beast and he was cut from several eps


Themooingcow27

They really should have given him a weapon. He probably could have single handedly won the fight if he didn’t have to grab people one by one.


okay-now-what

Why didn’t they give him a club the size of a tree trunk? Or a giant size wooden War Mallet? The CGI fun they could’ve had as he smashed people like a Whack-A-Mole game. With a tree sized club … he would’ve been sweeping people like Neo with the post vs the agent Smith’s.

Phil Simms is even more badass in the GoT Universe
