Creator, writer, star, and now director, Jason Momoa concludes Chief of War's spectacular first season with a Game of Thrones–style battle episode that calls to mind Kurosawa. I am flabbergasted. Easily one of the best historical-fiction series I've ever watched, and an episode of the year contender

The Chief of War finale announces the arrival of Jason Momoa as a filmmaker worth watching — worth studying, even.

The really frustrating thing with videos like these is that they never actually address any of the real problems with the show.
It’s always superficial bullshit.
Because that would require people to critically examine their own nostalgia for the movies and the books.

i think people often make the mistake of thinking that rightwingers meltdown at different things like netflix not because they want the approval of mass culture, but they actually just want total top down control of the flow of information
