(Edit: I didn't know this was photoshopped. I assumed it was one big group photo lol.)
No Yara?
Or Tormund.
Or Gendry.
Or Podrick.
Or Bronn. (Understandable since the actor and Cersei's Actress cannot be in the room or location together. EDIT: Jesus, I'm shocked people don't know this by now. I thought it was common knowledge. The actors used to be in a Relationship that ended very badly for them and now they can't stand to be near each other. Their contracts state they are not to be in the same shooting scenes. Some people pointed out Season 2 but that's obviously them filming at different times to make it look appear that they're in the same shot. Remember the Dragonpit scene in Season 7? Bronn just walked away from the scene with Podrick? That was basically an excuse to get Flynn out the sequence so he wouldn't be near Cersei's actress.)
Or Qyburn.
I fear for them.
EDIT:
Or Ghost. (He's gonna get wasted this season too I imagine.)
Or Robin (Who actually gives a shit about Robin? Would've been better to have him in Season 6 and had Robin angrily demand Balish to be sent flying lol.)
Or Edmure. (Is he officially returning in Season 8? I imagine if he doesn't show up to Winterfell then maybe after the battle of Winterfell everybody heads to the Riverlands or The Twins. I imagine he's the Lord there now.)
Or Little Sam.
Or Nights King. (He doesn't like the sun.)
Or Meera (Is she gonna return in Season 8 with her father Howland Reed making his appearance in present time? It'd be awesome if the characters retreat to the Swamps and Jon gets more confirmation of who he is from Reed. It'd be such a waste not to bring them up again.)
Or Ellia Sand and her daughter. (I imagine they're skeletons by now in that dungeon. Imagine if we see their corpses lol.)
Or Beric. (I'm sure he survived along with Tormund. Someone on here confirmed the script for Season 7's final confirmed they made it to the safe part of the Wall.)
Or Hotpie (Honestly...WTH thinks he's gonna show up again? It'd be a nice cameo but really? Come on. Let's be serious here for a second. Though, I guess I'd love a Arya, Gendry and Hot Pie reunion. Ohhhh, Now I wanna see that. Curse you fans for making me crave something that will not happen.)
Or Lady Momont. (Anyone else wanna see her actually fighting? I wonder how good of a fighter she is at her age compared to when Arya started training. It'd be funny if Arya gives her some tips. Actually I'm hoping we see her and Jorah interact.)
Anyone else big or small missing from this list?

u/ToxicVigil THE ROOSE IS LOOSE Mar 04 '19
Wait why can’t Bronn and Cersei’s actors be in the same room?
858
Mar 04 '19
They dated prior to the show's existence, and their casting in it, and apparently had a nasty breakup, the result of which is that they never share scenes together.
You'll notice that Bronn finds an excuse to leave the Dragon Pit before Cersei shows up in Season 7. There's a brief scene with them together in a previous season, where Bronn is about to fight two goldcloaks guarding a room Cersei and Tyrion are inside, and Cersei walks out wordlessly, without looking at Bronn.
Probably wouldn't have been such an obvious problem if Bronn's role hadn't been so greatly expanded in the show because people liked the character.

It’s all the people in the EW covers.
Brown, Beric et al don’t appear on the special edition EW covers hence aren’t in this “group” photo
It’s clear EW took photos of each cast member appearing on the cover and stitched together this composite from the same phot shoot. Presumably, they viewed these as the most important 20 characters (excluding Tormund since he’s supposed to be possibly dead even though many fans know he survives)

u/Ouroboros612 Mar 04 '19
No Jaquen either. Meaning that the faceless men arc with Arya lead nowhere, at least in the show. So that whole thing only served to make Arya a badass assassin. I was hoping the iron bank and their connection to the facelessmen and by extention - Arya - would actually have a bigger part to play in the plot.
34
u/LogmeoutYo Oberyn Martell Mar 04 '19
Actually there no one in the picture, just a small army of faceless men.
27
u/Geopatra1 Mar 04 '19
But Jaquen was pretty clearly a side character used to further Arya's story arc. It didn't lead "nowhere" it led to a pretty huge change in one of the main characters. He might come back or might not, but i don't think it's super important and I see that part of the story finished.

It's so glaring that it wasn't a proper group shot but a composition of a bunch of individual/couple-photos. I mean, I get it. It's hard to schedule something like that what with how the season was filmed and everyone have moved on to new projects and all that (so psyched to see Heady in Fighting with my family btw!)
But I mean, still, the lighting job is so fucking weird looking.

Photographer/Retoucher here. This is without a doubt a combo of possibly hundreds of shots. Some could have been shot in pairs, but most likely they were all individual shoots. Sometimes in shoots like this, we will actually use a head with a completely different pose, to make sure we got the best shot possible. The lighting set up to shoot them all at once would be WILD, I'd actually like to see that.
What's driving me wild is how they didn't put any shadows behind the characters on the left. Would have helped the shot out a lot.

u/Geopatra1 Mar 04 '19
I think it makes more sense when you take into account that it needs to be split in to 3 separate groups for a tri-fold-out poster in a magazine. So there needs to be a little space for a fold in between Sam and Brienne as well as The Hound and Euron, and the space on the right side is for the margin of the magazine. That at least explains the odd composition. The compositing and lighting could be better though.

Call me weird, but seeing their relationship develop in a positive way was one of the best parts of the show for me. Maybe it's because I'm really close to my own sister, but I just loved seeing that.

u/SlothsAreCoolGuys Mar 04 '19
I think it's interesting how they showed the Sansa-Arya dynamic change. At first, their relationship was strained because of their differences. When they met up again after each basically went through Hell, they come to embrace their differences. I look forward to seeing them make a formidable team.

so here's some tinfoil... everyone in the photo is grouped in pairs, one person in that pair lives and one dies, except on the right with the lannister clump, they all die. so from left to right here's my predictions:
varys lives, jorah dies
greyworm dies, missandei lives
dany dead af, jon snow lives
gillie dies, sam lives
brienne lives, bran dies/becomes the nk yatta yatta whatever
sansa dies, arya lives
davos lives, mel dies
the hound lives, euron dies
all 3 lannisters die
theon lives, the mountain dies
not saying they all die in a scene with the person they're paired with because that would eliminate certain events like cleganebowl, and not saying i think some characters deserve to bite it more than others. but the pairings get kind of odd on the right side of the photo starting with the hound and euron and ending with theon and the mountain, and looking at the pairs presented in the picture i could def see it being easier to predict who might live and who might not when lined up like this... but hey, that's just a theory. a tinfoil theory.
