So, with some breather from work and chores and traveling this weekend, decided to have a movie marathon at Xion E-Square: TNMT 9:15 AM, X-MEN Apocalypse 11:45 AM and Me Before You 3 PM show. Add to this the Game of Thrones fever currently on and by the time I could process all these movies, I had an amazing plot ready - ready to make it on this blog.
Warning: Spoilers ahead :-P
So, let me break down all that went down into different scenes/segments per movie.
scene one: so, as we all know by now, the Khaleesi has got herself a massive dothraki army riding on horses to Meereen. But, she has hitched a ride on her dragon and can fly there much faster - so, instead of going ahead and meeting Tyrion and company, she decided to go visit Bran, learn the skill of time travel from the new Raven, and guess what? She transforms herself into Lady Clark, black of hair, and goes back to the most unimaginable places of all.
Using her experience attending to the paralyzed Khal Drogo during his last days, she decides to take up a job as a maid in Lord Tywin's castle. Well, Arya did the job last time and she came out well - so, why not??
And yes, apart from the Kingslayer and the son-he-never-accepted-as-his-own, Tywin had another son, who got paralyzed from chest downwards during an accident - Oh, don't worry, his brother didn't push him down from any window - and look at the bright side, while khal Drogo had his entire body paralyzed, this son of Tywin, still has his head working, and has shit load of money, so no more care-taking in the desert.
Apparently, if Khaleesi can save this child of Tywin, may be he won't act as such a pain in everyone's ass when he returns to king's landing in the time to come. Then begins a love story between lady Clark and Will, the two romantics, which turns out to be quite real, and colorful, and makes us emotional.
So, that was the 'Me before You' part of the plot.
Lets see what else is brewing.
scene two: Well, the Unsullied were getting bored while waiting for their queen, because the breaker of chains is away and lord Tyrion is busy making Sentinels for the ultimate battle to come. So, before the mother of dragons could return, they decide to take down yet another city - a city where a few handful of mutants have taken thousands of slaves and are making them labor, while calling themselves not just masters but gods. Attack by the unsullied is swift and the city is won within few minutes. in fact, all but one of the false gods are slayed by the unsullied during this attack. The king of them all though escapes death and gets buried under a heap of debris.
It actually takes a close combat with Sansa Stark and her army of the northeners to defeat the powerful mutant, the size of a mountain in heads of both Sansa and Lord Professor. Sansa uses the power given to her by the lord of light to destroy the false god and is aided by the faceless goddess - who is, as a coincidence, known as Raven.
Thus, she fulfills the prophecy about slaying a savage giant.
And now, here comes the biggest spoiler of this blog: Sansa Stark grows to be Lady Jean Grey and gets killed in the battle of Last Stand :-P
But before that, she has done a great job reading people's minds using a gesture which seems like she is using some compact hand-phone and and in helping to save the world in this latest installment of XMEN - the 'XMEN Apocalypse' :-)
scene three: Here's how the phrase tit-for-tat came to be - What Lord Shredder, first of his name [I mean seriously, who calls himself as Shredder :-P] and ruler of the foot clan does to grand maester Baxter, the creature from the other world does to him. Aah - so much for discovering a simple short phrase !!
And yes, Nickelodeon has also graduated to the likes of Marvel and DC Comics and blamed it all on an alien invasion !! Unreal ain't it?
But then, looks like the studio had some budget constraints, so all they did was a one-off teleportation, and quick entry-and-exit of a space ship with one, yes one weird looking alien with equally weird name - Krang. Never mind that though, as the grand maester Baxter and Krang and lord Shredder have together helped us with a very important discovery - they took two of the wildlings and using a potion more powerful and exquisite than wildfire, transformed them to the animals that they are - animals whose dna is still present as part of their human dna. Yes, that's true.
So, next time some cynic asks you how the Khaleesi remains unburnt, and questions how can we regard her as the true Dragon, tell them politely to go watch 'TNMT - Out of Shadows' in nearest theater :-)
Well, enough said - let me wrap it all up now before I give away any more spoilers - after all, we do want to go watch these movies and yes, we definitely don't want to miss any episode of the 'Game of Thrones' :-)
