Following last week’s criticisms, the final season of HBO’s Game of Thrones is under scrutiny once again for showcasing a Starbucks cup in a shot of last night’s episode.
Some feel the discontinuity of the series is at an all-time high following season 8, episode 3, and not catching a coffee cup blatantly visible in the shot doesn’t bode well for folks disappointed with the series’ endgame so far. Lore and prophecies like Azor Ahai have all but been ignored, according to disgruntled viewers online, however, many also believe the act was intentionally done to get people talking about the show more. The Starbucks cup arrives at the 17:40 mark of the episode.
Check out the images and reactions below, then check out the preview for episode 5, the penultimate installment of the series.
1. After last week’s #GameOfThrones, the cinematographer had to fight off criticism that it was too dark and people couldn’t see.
2. So this week he inserts an offending Starbucks cup into dark scene.
3. People spot the cup, cinematographer vindicated.https://t.co/V2Xx05BatT
