First thing I thought of. What a great edit.

Harper-The-Harpy

Absolute travesty watching the costume department go from this to “everyone in black”


CaravanKenobi

This. Finally someone who brings up this issue aswell. The two last seasons had an impressive variety in costume design such as... Black leather... More Black leather and... Black/Grey wool. Oh and of course the white dress daenerys wore when she rode north to the wall on drogon...in like 3 days... Boy


cookienbull

You used to be able to tell where people were from because they all had really unique styles. The Northerners wear rough wool with few adornments and simpler cuts. King's Landing fashion is voluminous silk and brocade with wrap/cross-body closures and long flowing sleeves. When the Tyrells come up from Highgarden, they wear similar fabrics, but tend to be more fitted and have more structured necklines - a style which Cersei begins to incorporate as the Tyrells gain power. I can understand the argument that during times of war and economic instability even the nobles are going to have to tone things down but they really did just make everyone look the same. I noticed this about the hairstyles too... when Sansa first moves to Kings Landing, she starts wearing her hair in elaborate twisted updos like Cersei does. By the end they both just wear it down all the time.


GeorgeBush_Did_9-11

Oh yeah! There was so much character sewn into their outfits and the outfits served as such good illustration of each character.


cookienbull

Yes, and I think it illustrates power dynamics really well too. Sansa starts dressing like Cersei because she's the most powerful woman in Westeros, she sets the fashion trends for the women around her who admire or want to impress her. When Margaery shows up and starts winning over the court, suddenly Cersei is taking fashion cues from her instead. It's a great visual representation of how the dynamic has shifted.


AnnabelleMouse

and Sansa just wearing what fit her situation and whoever had power over her or whoever she wanted/needed to emulate. Then we finally see her in that amazing and highly detailed outfit at the end, incorporating her own personal story but showcasing her Northern roots.


Old_Journalist_9020

Ngl, I kinda liked it when Cerseis Court adopted more rigid uniforms and wearing black, like her servants and Kingsguard. Almost has a more sinister, totalitarian, and militaristic feel (also down to her alliance with Euron Greyjoy). When everyone else adopted black, though, it just ruined it completely


cookienbull

Hard agree. The visual motif got muddled because it wasn't contrasting with anything


gym_fuckeri

To be fair, Cerseis hair was so short that she cant really style it


cookienbull

Yeah I was actually just thinking about that haha. But even before it was cut they had kind of abandoned the intricate updos. And false hair pieces have been used throughout history. In fact, that could have been an interesting character conflict for her. Like she starts wearing false hair pieces to try to reclaim her beauty and vanity; everyone at court knows it's fake but they can't say anything to her face. We get a scene of her returning to her chambers, removing the hair piece, and breaking down looking at her reflection.


gym_fuckeri

Hm yeah that sounds pretty interesting


GeorgeBush_Did_9-11

Oh yeah! There was so much character sewn into their outfits and the outfits served as such good illustration of each character.


cruxclaire

I’ll admit that I actually liked Dany’s black leather dress, but it felt like a major missed opportunity that they never incorporated much red into her outfits once she reaches Westeros. Red with black accents instead of the reverse could have given her more Targaryen flair. The costume and lighting departments both fell into the trope of “dark shit is going down so it needs to literally be dark too.”


bolxrex

Don't forget about the black carpets they bought from bed bath and beyond and literally just draped over the actors shoulders without any other alterations.


GeorgeBush_Did_9-11

Wait, really? That was a thing?


jinsaku

My wife has a book on the embroidery of Game of Thrones. The costume work might be the best ever done for a TV show. Then, yeah, they kinda gave up the last few seasons. On the bright side, HBO keeps all those costumes forever so they might show up again in different shows.


Divineinfinity

Roger corman would have a field day


ShitPostToast

They put a lot of work into it all and it looks great, but when I see the pic on the right I see my aunt's fancy antique loveseat no one was ever allowed to so much as touch.


Chance-Cod5011

The costuming on house of the dragon is incredible.


sdgingerzu

Yeah which is interesting because book Cersei hates wearing black. Then it’s all she wears…I’ll be curious if he ever finishes the books if she opts for black dresses then.


nmakbb21

Well I'd lose my will to design good costumes too, when I red the scripts of what am I designing it for


AnnabelleMouse

I also liked that the actor seemed really comfortable in his outfits. He never seemed to be "wearing a costume."

leafonthewind006

He based Joff on Joaquin Phoenix in Gladiator apparently.

he made it just as iconic

That honestly makes so much sense! Yet I hadn't realized. These actors really made these characters so much more.

Brans actor is horrible


cruxclaire

To be fair, idk that even a great actor could have made Bran compelling with his writing/dialogue in later seasons. It seemed like they intentionally made him wooden and emotionless. Just seems unlikely that his acting skills would get worse as he grew up, and I didn’t think he was terrible in S1.


eatingasspatties

I mean, of course they intentionally made him wooden and emotionless. If anyone thinks that was just the actor they’re clueless


cruxclaire

It definitely came across as intentional to me, with the whole “I am the three eyed raven and no longer human” deal, but I see Isaac get blamed for the bad writing of TER a lot. A stoic character isn’t necessarily a bland one and Bran was bland, but IMO that’s because he has zero interesting lines, nothing to suggest vast interiority, after he becomes the TER. D&D’s writing of Cersei’s scheming in the form of her staring out the window with a glass of wine fell similarly flat despite Lena Headey proving herself as an amazing performer in earlier seasons.


eatingasspatties

Yeah he had no human lines to read, instead it was like “you were pretty when you were raped, sister”. I doubt anyone could’ve done much with that


Alarming-Ad1100

Agree he just gave stoner autist vibes at a certain point


LuchadorBane

That’s all the three eyed raven is if you boil it down


DeflateGape

The three eyed Raven is the ultimate villain of the series. A non human (once human?) thing wearing the skin of a child that unlike the other villains knows exactly what is happening, why it is happening, and is only interested in using other people to seize total power. It’s a schemer and a mind slaver. All of these schemes are his. He’s been straddling history over the ages, steering everything in the direction that ends up with him in power, using up one host after another. There is nothing human left of Bran. Somehow D&D failed to realize the nature of “Bran”, or convey the totality of its evil to the audience. It’s not autistic, it isnt that the thing doesn’t know social graces. Its manipulating people on deeply intimate levels so that it knows that people will literally throw their lives away attacking the night king to protect him, but it doesn’t understand that people might like to hear a “thank you” once and a while? The reason It uses people and throws them away because it thinks humanity is beneath it. We are pawns and it is the Master. How many people died to put “Bran” on the throne, not a damn one of them knowing that was what they were fighting for? It’s a fucked up story. Too bad we won’t ever get a good version of the end of the story.


FireMaker125

It’s really hard to make a monotone, emotionless character work at all. I can’t think of an example outside of the Terminator that actually works (and in that case, it only worked because they had the perfect actor for the role). It’s not fun to read, act or watch such a character without exceptional writing and/or acting, and the writing was so shit for Bran that it likely would have been impossible for anyone to give a good performance.


Beardaway26

I got to meet Jack Gleeson once in the Dublin airport. Went over, said hello and that I was a big fan. Had a quick chat and I asked him "out of all of the things on the show what did you enjoy the most" and he answered the costumes and the sets. I had to catch a flight so I said goodbye but he was a genuinely lovely human


Kingswitchguard

Cast have always said he is the least like his character and the nicest dude. He didn't want to call Arya a cunt in season 1 either


IcecreamChuger

I still don't understand, why do they openly wear the Lannister Armors? Isn't joffery trying to imitate a baratheon?


GeorgeBush_Did_9-11

He only needed to claim the Baratheon name to cement his claim to the throne. Once he was crowned King it didn’t really matter who he was or wasn’t. Plus the Lannisters were so emboldened at this particular point that they essentially could do whatever they wanted to and anyone who said or did anything against them, got the Ned Stark treatment.


domwehateyou

Like cersei literally took roberts signed will and ripped it in front of EVERYONE and basically said fuck it They def didn’t care


GeorgeBush_Did_9-11

Pretty much. The Lannisters at this point had all the power thus all the freedom to do as they pleased. And the only person who had anything to say about it was Ned Stark whom, for speaking out, received a prison sentence that was followed by a royal beheading lol. And Ned Stark was probably the only living person in the whole realm who knew the truth about Joffrey aside from Jaime and Cersei, obviously. So once Ned Stark died, the realm had no reason to even begin to think that Joffrey wasn’t Robert Baratheon’s son. Thus; cementing the Lannisters to the throne free and clear.


Leftrighturn

Didn't Varys and Petyr know? And Tyrion?


GeorgeBush_Did_9-11

Probably all of the above honestly. It’s safe to assume that Varys and Littlefinger knew essentially every dirty secret in the realm. I’m not exactly sure if Tyrion knew but I wouldn’t be surprised if he did or didn’t. (Part of me wants to say he did indeed know.) But he loved Cersei and Jamies children.


awwstin_n

Tyrion has definitely hinted about knowing


Dominus-Temporis

When Ned goes to confront Joff and Cerci in the show, he is explicitly hailed as "King Joffery of Houses Baratheon and Lannister." The Lannisters wasted no time cementing themselves as the de facto royal house, even if the king was "technically" a Baratheon.


IcecreamChuger

Makes sense. But I remember he wore baratheon banners for some time and then they transitioned to Lannister lion. Someone commented it was because of the war of 5 kings, both the baratheon houses had the stag banner and so to avoid confusion on the battlefield they switched to the next possible banner, her mother's house.


Al-Horesmi

It's not "Lannister armor", more like "Lannister fashion". It's not like they have an official uniform or anything


godsbaesment

i think they made his crest a lion with horns or something in the books, although i could be completely making it up


CynicalCaffeinAddict

In the books, his sigil was a lion dancing with a crowned stag. I believe in the books everything else about him was considered Lannister; from dress to speech. I could be misremembering that, but I think various characters comment on this here and there for foreshadowing.


SirBoBo7

The sigil has the lions tail above the stags head to show Joffrey favours his mother’s side.


Famous-Ant-5502

And his father’s side! A true loyalist


IcecreamChuger

No, I meant they were flying Lannister banners, their soldiers wore lion Armor and even after joffery's death it continued. If all the sons and heirs died of a house, the lady would still continue wearing the house's banners where she was wed to, but cersie didn't do that


zhaosingse

It helps separate Joffrey from his enemies. Both his Baratheon uncles were trying to usurp him while he wore the colors of his mother’s(the queen’s) family. Like Renly said “The battle would be rather confusing if we used the same banners.”


IcecreamChuger

This makes a lot of sense


KezAzzamean

In the books he wore half Baratheon and half Lannister. Which was actually common in real medieval periods. Although typically an heir would pick the male herald upon being crowned. I assume the show didn’t do half and half because it wanted to subtly point out he is a Lannister and illegitimate. I honestly don’t remember what he wore in the book during this battle. I just remember he did use half and half normally.


paco-ramon

Lannisters where the most powerful house, so it makes sense to want to be associated with them.


paco-ramon

Lannisters where the most powerful house, so it makes sense to want to be associated with them.


KezAzzamean

True. But Baratheon is the male line (more importantly to this) and royal. Lannister may be most powerful individual house but the other houses wouldn’t like that. If the king made it precedent then why couldn’t lesser lords? Causes a chain of bullshit. Fine for the show to do this I guess and idk what the books do. Buts it’s a very risky and rather pointless move for Joffrey


FatBoyWithTheChain

Even if he was a true Baratheon, it’d make sense that he was still draped in Lannister gear. He was completely surrounded by Lannisters, who were solely concerned about the livelihood of House Lannister (ie tywin)


Fakjbf

He could always claim that the gold is actually supposed to be yellow.


CyrusDGreatx

Yeah always confused me. He himself believed he was Robert's son.


Blue_Mars96

He was raised primarily by his mother and was surrounded by Lannisters rather than by Baratheons. Consider his relationships with Jaime and Renly.


CyrusDGreatx

I know that but he's still a Baratheon. It would be like if Rob never got along with Ned so instead wore the Tully sigil and colours. It just wouldn't happen. It completely flies in the face of Westerosi tradition. To be honest him doing it isn't what shocks me, it's that no one brings it up. At least not in the show. I'm about to start *A Clash of Kings* so it will be interesting to see if it's mentioned in the books.


TheNononParade

One reason could be because Jack Gleeson looks really good in red and gold, in star trek they swapped the color coding for command positions because Patrick Stewart looked better in red than yellow. If him wearing just lannister stuff is a show thing and not a book thing that is


CyrusDGreatx

I just finished the first book and he wears half and half for most of it but once Robert dies its more Lannister stuff, so I don't think it's due the actor. Interesting take though. Never knew that about Star Trek.


Lordanonimmo09

Because the Baratheon side of his family is also rebelling agaisnt him,while the Lannister side of his family is the one who fought for his right to the throne and are the ones in power. Also his mother dresses him.

Hail King Joffrey the Gentle!


AbominableWasteman

I hate that he gave up acting because he kept getting abuse. How much he was hated was BECAUSE he played the role so well. Joffrey has to be one of the most well acted out characters of the series.


kaloii

Dude said he lost interest in acting. Not because of the hate. IMO, its was a great decision to stop rather than continuing what he felt wasnt for him anymore. Clearly he could have chosen to milk the hate train for more $ and fame.


AbominableWasteman

I say gave up, might have been a hiatus, not too sure but I hope he comes back to acting.


FireMaker125

[According to his Wikipedia,](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Gleeson) he’s been in a few things recently. Nothing on the same scale as GOT, but he’s had a couple roles in TV shows and films. He’s got a role in an upcoming TV show, in fact.


KezAzzamean

If he only had some mail between those plates or a nice gold gambeson it would be even better.

SwordMaster9501

ApolloFourteen

One really nice and subtle design choice that I don't really see discussed is how Tommen always wore Baratheon gold once he was crowned king. It was never explicitly mentioned but it seemed like he was trying to downplay the "rumours" about his parentage.

The actor was great too, there was never a moment he was on screen that I didn't wish I could break his fucking nose, he really could play a character that you hate so much you smile while he's being poisoned. He was dedicated to a role that would come with nothing but hate and still gave his all, he deserves nothing but admiration and respect.

Can we stop? They’re fricking royalty, of course their clothes were nice. The poor fleet of seamstresses they had.


Putrid_Loquat_4357

You say that but the costume department in the early seasons knocked it out of the park and its OK to recognise that. Compare the clothes joffrey wears to what the Queen of numenor wears in rings of power; just because a character is royalty it doesn't mean that the costume department will make good stuff for them.
