Let’s Break Down That Game of Thrones March Madness Trailer
By Ani Bundel
Dan wasn’t sold on this being Castle Black initially, since we couldn’t see it very well. He’s also functioning on the knowledge that there were reports of a WunWun scene where the giant breaks into (or at least attempts to break into) Winterfell.
If it is the gates of Castle Black, then it’s the Southern side of the Castle, since the North side is the Wall, and that’s ice and snow, not stone. (Though looking at old shots of the Winterfell gates, I’m not sold on that either.)
We skip Tyrion in the catacombs, plus Arya and Drogon flying, to arrive here:
His is a Song of Ice and Fire. I’m pretty sure that’s not what the prophecy meant, but poetic license is allowed.
Our final long shot in the trailer is the same shot in the big horse laden battle where we’re all pretty sure we saw Jon Snow alive again. the fact that that shot is important enough to turn up twice in two trailers suggests we are in fact right.
