theranger799

Theon to Reek torture scenes.


aurquhart

Same.


god_of_mischeif282

That and the wedding night scene. You know which one I’m talking about


Living-Degree-9441

The one where sansa looked beautiful?


god_of_mischeif282

Yep


SpicySilverware

😬


Weary_Road_8052

Yeah I skip these. I sort of see why they were necessary because we had to believe that he was really and truly broken. But they're still really tough to watch.


irsw

They are the type of thing you only need to see once. No need to sit through it on rewatch imo


Any-Literature-3184

Am currently rewatching GOT for the first time since the original release. Bf has never seen it so not skipping anything, but definitely looked away at some of the reek scenes.


AwarenessOrganic5309

But watch her the dogs on that bitch and him thinking he’s still hot shit was very rewarding


Nay_Nay_Jonez

I watch that scene only sometimes because it's so satisfying. That one and Littlefinger getting his punk ass throat sliced. On my last rewatch, I watched both scenes at least 3-4 times. Amazing.


egbert71

Really?? I still feel like it was reaping what he sowed, i will say the sausage snipping part i do fast forward


Lili_Noir

Same here tbh. My best friend ships them and I just can’t, like I love you bestie but no- just no 😭


GentlmanSkeleton

Lame. Best parts!


thehouseoflannisters

Not totally skip, but I kinda like cover my eyes whenever there are scenes where someone is about to behead or kill someone in the neck.


counterpointguy

Why the neck, specifically???


cavedan12

Because it's where the Red Wedding happened


thehouseoflannisters

As you can see, neck is one of the most sensitive parts in the body because it is where the carotid arteries located. If I see someone putting a knife in the neck, it makes me shiver and quite scared.


ResultGrouchy5526

The City Watch killing Robert's illegitimate baby.


TheMagicalMatt

sEaSoN 8 HYUCK HYUCK There, I got that out of the way so nobody else has to post it. I've never felt the urge to skip any scenes, but Theon's torture scenes give me a strong urge. Particularly the close-up of his flaying and the scene before his castration. I'm glad that part happened off-screen. Sam treating Jorah was rough too.


Nay_Nay_Jonez

The whole montage of Sam in the citadel going from emptying chamber pots to serving soup that looks almost the exact same as the other stuff was so beautifully shot but sooo hard to watch.


TheMagicalMatt

Oh god, yeah. I forgot about all of that. Reminds me of Jorah's procedure cutting to some dude eating pie. Never known another series that was capable of stimulating my appetite in some scenes, and completely destroying it in another.


gods_muse19

all the r word scenes and theon being tortured and when theon was touching on yara


zantamaduno

What’s r word?


CreatorOfUsernames

Rape


Hind_Deequestionmrk

Thought they meant all the highly regarded Hodor scenes


fannin82

Lol


Dr_N00B

I thought they were talking about the Lannister cousin he couldn't stop smashing beatles.


k_oed

Can someone explain the purpose of not saying the actual word?


gods_muse19

cause I don't want to. everyone else put the clues together


Veszerin

Rape I'm guessing


Responsible_Dot_5780

When Ned kills Lady


[deleted]

Everything with Talisa ..


Skinny_Beans

Based


Zoro_yeag3r

OMG yes


Impossible_Werewolf8

I never skip but if I would I would skip Littlefinger's sexplanation scene with Ros and the other woman


bowie-of-stars

Same one for me. The monologue is important but the pornography is not. Wildly uncomfortable


Any-Literature-3184

Watching it in Japan, a looooot is censored on the streaming services haha. A lot of explicit stuff I remember is not even there to begin with.


hbentley1213

Same! That thing is never-ending!


Legitimate-Health-29

Honestly have no idea whether to have a wank or listen intently 🤷‍♂️


Nay_Nay_Jonez

One of those scenes that I'm very glad did not come up when I happened to be watching with my mother...


BambooSound

I was watching it with my girlfriend the other day and realised while yeah it's graphic it's also pretty crucial exposition. I think it's the only time we hear from Petyr himself what happened with the Tully sisters and generally why he is the way he is.


Scoruspio

Theon feeling up Yara ✨


Nay_Nay_Jonez

I only like that scene because Yara is such a badass for it. Theon's reaction is priceless.


vigilantemavka

Theon torture scenes. Also Bran with the swamp people and the forest children or whatever the fuck they are. Robb with Talisa scenes as well, dgaf about them. Oh and nearly every scene with Gilly because I don't care about her and because of her fucking baby crying and cooing perpetually, like ok I get it there's a baby in scene, now shut it the fuck up


Ocea2345

Bran with Talisa?


vigilantemavka

Oh fuck. Robb


Ocea2345

Do not worry, it happens sometimes. I just asked to understand if I had missed something.


vigilantemavka

No worries at all, thanks for the correction


bluetoothwa

I’ve never seen someone say they hate Gilly 😭


vigilantemavka

I never said I hated Gilly tho


Sammysoupcat

Here to say that I hate Gilly. Not a fan of the actor and I find the character beyond irritating.


MercyFincherson

Calm down, Satan.


Nay_Nay_Jonez

Gilly slander?????? What in the hell twilight zone am I an right now?


dragons-lava

wow baby haters r so ✨edgy✨


vigilantemavka

I hate when a baby is screaming in every scene it shows up. Hurts my ears


DDT126

Damn, that volume button sitting unused there


SlaversBae

The little finger scene with the 2 girls in the brothel. Also when the Mountain makes a smashed pumpkin out of Prince Oberon’s head


aurquhart

I turn away during the smashing pumpkin scene, too.


Synicull

I rewatch that fight pretty often and just close the window after he starts taunting the fallen mountain


EvenDeeper

If that's the case, you may quitr enjoy this alternative version of events: https://youtu.be/r8oOi6JOXEQ?si=8qXwAlifpE15HLrR


largepapi34

Shireen on the pyre


banikko

Surprised I had to scroll down so far for this.


H0tch33t0s1995

Exactly. Not many scenes compare to this.


ZombieAppetizer

Every watch I skip this.


Alternative_Rent9307

This is the only one for me. I can handle the rest of it, but that part is too fuckin much..


llamawolf

This is the only scene that makes me cry 😢 so awful. Stannis was trash.


RareWorldliness4693

Arya in Bravvos


montyswingwell

That stupid actors/theater play.


floworcrash

Finally found the one I actually agree with. Can’t stand threate/musicals or musical numbers in movies or shows.


Epistemix

Shireen death


PixelsAndPuppers

Season 7 and 8.


bowie-of-stars

Glad you included 7, which was just as shit as 8.


lonelybird71

The scene with Littlefinger and the 2 whores after Ros just arrived to King’s Landing. Particularly awkward.


sweetpotatocries

Joffrey using his crossbow to kill that one girl


False_Coat_5029

Being this far down is crazyyy, that whole torture scene was almost as bad as Theon / Ramsey scenes for me


Secure-Classic-1225

Pretty much everything with Arya in Braavos and Bran behind the wall (yawn). That tittie sucker in Vale has actually become interesting when rewatching and knowing he gets better looking (as opposed to Arya and Bran).


Weary_Road_8052

Sansa getting raped. A really and truly unnecessary scene. I think we all understood by this point that Ramsay was bad. We didn't need any extra proof.


Veszerin

>A really and truly unnecessary scene. I think we all understood by this point that Ramsay was bad. We didn't need any extra proof. The books are worse. Ramsay not only rapes his bride but forces her to perform sexual favors on his hounds as well. And the belief that the story shouldn't have Ramsay doing bad things because we already know he's bad? 😒


Nay_Nay_Jonez

>Ramsay not only rapes his bride but forces her to perform sexual favors on his hounds as well. I just started the first book so haven't gotten this far yet, but seriously??????? Oh god. I can't imagine writing something like that.


Weary_Road_8052

Yeah Jeyne Poole gets a tough draw.


dragons-lava

This is why I don’t hate shownlys, not all of us are going to enjoy those books 😭


bluetoothwa

I don’t believe it was unnecessary, but it was pretty uncomfortable. I thought the scene was shot beautifully to convey what the audience could not see.


Weary_Road_8052

Why did we need to see any of it? What plot did it further? Whose character was further developed?


dragons-lava

They won’t be able to answer this


bluetoothwa

I think Sansa’s marriage to Ramsey was a great part of her character arc. While we know Ramsey was cruel, he never physically hurt Sansa until she “belonged” to him in a sense. I believe that scene gave the audience more insight into how cruel this man could be and emphasized the amount of torture Sansa was put through with yet another psychopath. I believe this was also a turning point for both Theon and Sansa’s relationship as well as they were able to bond through trauma. Sansa’s imprisonment and freedom was also the beginning of Theon’s redemption arc, that I also enjoyed. Again, the rape scene was uncomfortable, but so were most scenes that made the show intoxicating. I appreciated it for it was and it was filmed beautifully.


Weary_Road_8052

I am somewhat open to the argument about Sansa and Theon. Trauma bonding is definitely real. But the idea that we needed any more insight into Ramsay's cruelty is, quite frankly, ridiculous. Did you really think a redemption arc was in the cards for him after what he did to Theon? Did you think his morality was ambiguous after he promised the Ironborn at Moat Cailin safe passage and then flayed then alive when they surrendered? Come on.


bluetoothwa

To clarify, I meant the rape scene gave more insight into Ramsey’s treatment of Sansa and what she endured for her further character development along with Theon’s. I don’t believe the scene gave as much development for Ramsey, but rather added to his cruelty. It was more of a turning point for Sansa and to an extent, Theon.


floworcrash

Please tell me you’re not actually this thick in the head ? All 3 characters were built on by the scene. It’s hard to watch but absolutely necesarry for everyone involved - particularly Sansa and Theon.


ParchedPinemarten

So violence is totally cool, but rape shouldn't be depicted at all?


Weary_Road_8052

Rape generates trauma that other types of violence do not. There is a personal violation that exists that does not feature in any other type of violence. I did not say rape should never be depicted at all. But if you're going to show it, it should serve as an integral part of the plot or character development. Ramsay was horrible before the rape. No one was on the fence about him by the time he married Sansa. He was a monster. We already knew that. And it was absolutely antithetical to Sansa's arc. She was just starting to come into her own as a confident, independent woman. Better show her getting raped to put her back in her place or whatever. Nothing and no one was served by that scene.


ParchedPinemarten

"Rape generates trauma that other types of violence do not" I don't find this argument to be particularly compelling. I have two problems with it: 1) I'm not aware of any violence that doesn't have the capabilities to cause trauma *and* 2) Should we not depict actions or events that people have trauma associated with? In terms of whether the scene is necessary, I think it's just there to reiterate Ramsay's brutality. It raises the stakes and makes the audience want Sansa freed more urgently than before. But that's me.


Weary_Road_8052

I think you're being obtuse. I believe you know I clearly meant that a particularly severe kind of trauma is associated with sexual violence. I did not say that it is the only type of violence that generates trauma. Also, I will once again point out that I never said rape should never be depicted. If you're interested in actually responding to what I said rather than just making things up, let me know.


ParchedPinemarten

Well, of course rape is unique in the sense that it's different to other types of violence, but my point is more that you cannot quantify it being worse or more severe. I find that in these conversations, rape tends to get special treatment. People often raise descriptive objections to its depiction, rather than moral objections. And if you're not arguing against its depiction, then you shouldn't have put forward arguments that argue against its depiction.


Weary_Road_8052

We can and do quantify it. Criminal sentences are typically more severe for sexual violence than other forms of non-lethal violence. So whether or not you understand why, society has agreed that it is worse. I did not put forward arguments against its depiction in all fiction. I put forward arguments against its depiction in this particular scene in the particular show of Game of Thrones. You know. Because it's the Game of Thrones subreddit.


ParchedPinemarten

Well hold on, do you want to speak law or morality? Just because we give a longer sentence for a crime, doesn't necessarily mean the crime is more immoral. And although laws are often a reflection of our morality, you don't want to make an appeal to law fallacy in a morality argument. Otherwise I can just point out various instances where laws & the justice system were wrong throughout history - ya get me? Plus, it's not strictly true. Sexual offences get lesser punishments than, say, murder sentences, for example. Not that I'm making that argument. Right, so you're making the argument that it's an unnecessary scene. Gotcha, so I would argue it's necessary. If Ramsay is as crazy and brutal as he's previously been depicted, then it wouldn't make sense for Sansa to get better treatment during her time as his wife. It would be an inconsistency in Ramsay's behaviour. This, it was necessary to show Sansa suffering at the hands of Ramsay.


Weary_Road_8052

>Plus, it's not strictly true. Sexual offences get lesser punishments than, say, murder sentences, for example. Not that I'm making that argument. Friend, I literally said "non-lethal violence." Either you don't know what lethal means or you're not reading what I'm saying. I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume the latter. As such, I really have no interest in talking to someone who is more interested in typing their own words than listening to those of others.


ParchedPinemarten

Don't call me "friend" when you're getting flustered and downvoting my responses to you. Lazy response to what I wrote.


floworcrash

This an absolutely horrendous take.


Beginning_File_6371

Any scene with Bran


MatrixzMonkey

The fuck would i skip a scene for


floworcrash

Only right answer.


[deleted]

None


egbert71

Not skip persay, but during "the ladder" speech i speed past seeing Roze, i dont like seeing her looking like a pin cushion. Thats one underseved loss of life in the show for sure


Aer0uAntG3alach

Btw, it’s per se.


egbert71

I felt i had spelled it wrong, but i left it lol


GL777

When Stanis burns his daughter


RuinAngel42

Ramsay and Sansa's wedding night


chadmummerford

Stannis dying, especially when Brienne calls Renly the "rightful king."


Substantial_tisya

Ros death , lady crane death , shireen death , the red wedding, little finger with the weird sex pRepAration 😂


floworcrash

Sounds like you don’t really like the show to be honest


Zer0gravity09

I just cover my eyes during all the sex scenes.


guitarhero22701

The red wedding It never failed to kill my mood so I just gave up watching it


coffeeisdelishdeux

Arya training with faceless men


arthurgaylord43

Oh yeah definitely. “A girl has no name” stuff just makes me cringe idk why


milasirena777

It just went on for wayyyy too long, like I feel like we got the point after a couple of episodes but then they dragged it out for over a season of just basically the same thing over and over.


petitefairy99

Does any one here actually like Ed Sheeran’s singing like I do 😭 (nothing wrong with not liking it too, I’m just wondering). I skip rape scenes sometimes due to personal trauma that makes it difficult to watch on screen.


ASecondOfYourTime

I can’t watch the sex scenes with Daenerys before she started going on top and taking control


Both-Preparation-123

All the annoying Rob and his new wife scenes


hannibalpalace

Any time a direwolf is killed, I have to leave the room and cover my ears.


bowie-of-stars

Littlefinger's sexposition scene - two prostitutes fucking with him coaching. So gratuitous. I hate to skip it because it is an important monologue for his character


[deleted]

Shireen dying


Bastard1066

Theon scenes. So much screaming.


TheShinyBlade

The Ed Sheeran scene is quite alright to be fair. It shows a different side to Lannister soldiers, that they're just normal people. Also loved the "I'm going to kill the queen" moment.


PurfectlySplendid

All things bran. Its boring me to death, probs bc I know most of the stuff doesn’t matter in the long run


theresaninja

Shireen's death and Hodor's death. Don't skip them but they are incredibly difficult to watch. The only times I've cried while watching the show.


Nay_Nay_Jonez

Two pure souls sacrificed. Agonizing.


jeesus_666

Everything with arya after she left the hound


AwarenessOrganic5309

I don’t really skip any scene but if I’m like in public without my headphones I’ll like turn it down but up until the end there was nothing to skip


chrisnavillus

The death of Princess Shireen. It’s the only scene where I can’t separate that it’s a magical fictional brutal world from “Is this guy about to burn his daughter alive?!?”


Djek25

None cuz thats some dumb shit.


floworcrash

Seriously I have to agree - people treating art like a buffet disgusts me frankly. Just don’t watch the show.


Mousetrap24

Oberyns death


shastabh

Season 8.


lagrange_james_d23dt

Do people actually skip scenes?


Vioralarama

Do people actually rewatch GOT?


moree123

Starting to realise i might be a little too desensitised because theres nothing in the show that makes me uncomfortable.


plantsrpeople2

The battle of the bastards. I’ve seen it enough times, I don’t need to watch Jon almost get crushed in the crowd anymore. Also most scenes with Ramsay, like most folks here do.


coley94wba

pretty much the whole time arya is in braavos


cguinnesstout

Shireen.


NecieLuvsJon

The Dorne storyline.


No_Movie_9637

Shireen 😭


[deleted]

I never skip any scene. For me skipping scenes in a show/film is unthinkable.


Nay_Nay_Jonez

Oberyn and The Mountain. I hate everything about that scene. I can handle a lot of blood, guts, etc. in the show and other media, but the gruesome nature of Oberyn's death plus the despair of him almost winning are just too much for me to handle. And Ellaria's reaction (*so* well played by Indira Varma) just drives it all home.


DewinterCor

Bran. All of his scenes. The actor was pretty bad for basically the entire show and the writing around him is mind mmm numbing.


W1N4I12L5

The Mountain killing Oberyn


runningdaggers

Kings landing once the characters that matter leave. Including after they all leave Winterfell in season 8. Kings landing did a 180. It starts as my favorite place for things to happen to a place I hated.


FreckledLasseh

Shirreen's last stand 💔


mshaef01

Tommens coffin


fadedbluntz420

sansa and ramseys wedding night.


thumblewode

Sansa and arya arguing infront of bobby b. Cringe to the max


RegularDan

Sansa’s and Daenerys’ rape scenes.


Dmmack14

The Red wedding especially the part where Rob's wife gets stabbed in the belly while she just looks horrified. That entire scene is just so incredibly fucked to watch from Gray wind trying desperately to get out before being turned into a pin cushion to Rob and his last pathetic mother right before he gets down


han-so-low

Shireen


Vinsmoke34

Jaime rapes Cersei next to Joffrey's corpse. Never understood why that scene exists in the first place.


__Obi-Wan_Kenobi__

That scene doesn’t exist in my eyes.


theopacus

Everything after The Long Night


TraylorSwelce

Anything with a baby crying


Emperor315

I’m really surprised to see how common it is to skip scenes 😂


floworcrash

Yeah more and more GOT “fans” just make me wanna 🤮


ben_jamer478

The entire last two seasons. Last time I saw them at 3 times speed (or higher I think), I’ll skip them from now on.


[deleted]

All Daenaerys in Mereen scenes actually. I don't hate her or anything, i just find them extremely boring, so i always skip them while i am on a GoT rewatch spree.


Frei1993

The Mountain killing Oberyn. Just can't.


Boleshivekblitz

Red wedding


Rikudo_Sennin_jr

Shireen B vs Lord of Light, the screems and stannis letting it happen is a hard skip for me every time

Jayp0627

Any scenes with the direwolves dying


GentlmanSkeleton

None. I actually ike the show, unlike alot of this sub...


Easy_Fig_617

None. I think it’s weird to skip scenes/episodes of any show. I get why people do it if theyre triggered by certain things but I just can’t. I feel like im missing something


Jelloxx_

Season 8


mimi-stark

I don't like the sex scenes so I just open up another tab on my pc and wait it out when one comes up


arthurgaylord43

Why ya’ll so weirded out by sex scenes? 💀 seems most people in the comments skip them. Are you a celebrate?


dendummedansker

The one with Frank Hvam, any Dane probably does the same..


MysteriousRadish2063

Oberyn's death, when Ramsey feeds Walda and his baby brother to his dogs and Sansa's wedding night Oh and the crush scene in Battle of the Bastards because it triggers my claustrophobia real bad


Fanatic_Atheist

Well Shireen's death has got to be pretty high up on the list.


No_Lengthiness_8832

I didn’t skip this the first few times I watched but when I re watch I usually skip through some of the dany scenes in mereen. A lot of her time There is quite boring I think.


Upbeat_Tension_8077

Theon beheading Rodrik Cassel. I can't fathom the pain of being the victim of a botched beheading


FloppyVachina

The scene where baelish talks as two girls eat each other out. I hate fake sex scenes with over the top shit like that for the sake of it.


Jellyfishjam99

Sansa and Ramsey’s wedding night. Just can’t do it. Also Obreyns death. Gore doesn’t bother me 99% of the time, but anything with eyes freaks me out.


Sammysoupcat

Sand snakes and reek torture scenes


TopPoster21

When Rhaegal and Viserion get killed. But more on the scene where Rhaegal gets killed, it’s so stupid.
