Current Events > The scene with Arya and the Lannister soldiers last night was great *spoilers*

(+) Yeah! (+)

I keep seeing an article pop up on facebook that I've been meaning to copy and paste in here, but I keep forgetting. Basically the issue was that every other cameo in GoT is a subtle one where you think to yourself "hey wait a sec, was that coldplay?" With this one it's a major speaking role and he's front and center. I have no problem with the little subtle ones because I like that level of cheeky, but this seemed like shameless promotion. Lastly, I actually have no problem with Sheeran by himself, I just didn't like the way they did this cameo. It also doesn't ruin the show for me and I'll forget by next week lol.

it served a purpose

What purpose?

to humanize arya's enemies, and do show that she maybe is realizing they are not all awful people. that was the poitn of the scene, and his acting didn't take away from it. he did a perfectly fine job

The show did not need Ed Sheeran to humanize Arya's enemies. It served no purpose.

it doesn't need ANYONE. they could hire whoever to do the fucking job of any character. What is the issue with how Ed sheeran did his job? it served the purpose of the character existing. they chose him for the job. he did a good job, i think. do you have an issue with his acting? he was not ed sheeran, he was a character in the show, like any other actor

The issue is that his role felt like an in your face plug for his promotion tour. It felt like him going on a talk show playing his latest song. It broke the fourth wall because it was poorly written. It didn't ruin the universe, it just was a little tacky.
