Reader, sit down: Its time I told you a story.
Its not how it ends for you, brother.
You know whos coming for you.
Lets back up a bit and explain what Cleganebowl actually is.
Remember the tournament from season one?
Since then, both Clegane brothers have changed a lot.
Shes planning on having a trial by combat, and is going to use Zombie Gregor as her champion.
Would that be enough to get you hyped?
If youre not sure, why not try watching this video?
Popular opinion on Cleganebowl inSong of Ice and Firefandom is split between three separate camps.
The first thinks that Cleganebowl is super-awesome and sincerely cant wait for it to happen.
The second doesnt really care much either way, but likes topretendto be really into it for the lolz.
(Naturally, it can be hard to distinguish between these two.)
And the third, the one that Im in, hates it.
To understand why, youve got to look at where we left the Hound in George R.R.
(Its similar to the community where Hound lived in season six, thoughwithout the violent ending.)
There she meets a healer called the Elder Brother, who tells her, The Hound is dead.
Sandor Clegane is at rest.
Oh, and hes got an affinity for dogs.
ForGame of Thrones, thats pretty much the happiest ending it’s possible for you to hope for.
Still, those of us in the anti-Cleganebowl faction are still holding out hope that George R.R.
If you disagree, what are you gonna do, fight me about it?
