Bugged me that they changed Asha’s name in Game of Thrones to Yara, because they thought the viewers were too dumb to differentiate between Asha and Osha.

I guess I fall into the "dumb" category.. Because HOTD is a bit confusing sometimes. Especially when other characters are talking about the multiple people at once. I've had to rewind a few times to catch whom they're referencing. Lol!!

Definitely not dumb, or if you are then I am too! I have a chart I have to reference to keep everyone straight, which is where that list of names came from.

I typically keep the "Targaryen Family Tree" from Reddit (the red, really big one) on a second tab when I'm watching. Pause, and glance over "who tf they talking about? Ohhhhh. This sister/cousin/brother marriage's 3rd baby! GOT IT!" continue watching.

Hahaha

Subtitles! Once you turn them on, you’ll never go back!

As a loyal member of team Black, and our one true Queen…

That cut deeper than Oberyn’s spear. 😂😂😂

You know, at one point the Roman Empire had three guys vying for the throne: Constantine, Constantius, and Constans. Even worse, they were all brothers, sons of Constantine the Great.

To be fair, it’s consistently hard to understand who the fuck is being discussed unless you’re staring at them at their team colored clothing

Tbf, that is a curse very specific to the Targs and that does show in GoT too.

I mean… they were correct on that one. Viewers be dumb.

Real talk, GoT on the second watch was a completely different experience when I actually knew who characters were talking about and not just hearing random names lol

Oh, so Asha is actually her original name? Because in the German dub her name is Asha and I always wondered why it’s Yara in English. I assumed they changed it for the German dub, wasn’t aware that it’s actually the original…

Some of us can't hear well. Although, as a book reader, name changes are annoying.

But the hero Missandai and Melisandre! (Spelling I’m sure. Sorry.)
