#GameofThrones on #POPCORNX: Tormund & Ghost Adventures

In order to move forward, let's take a look-back first, specifically in Season 8, Episode 4 of "GAME OF THRONES" on HBO, when "Jon Snow" quite literally abandons dumps his direwolf "Ghost" - who came back to Winterfell to help battle The Night King and his Wights, when he absolutely need not have, because his faithfulness to Snow - unto actor Kristofer Hivju's Tormund Giantsbane's lap, innit?

Director David Nutter says CGI prevented Jon Snow from giving Ghost a proper goodbye — ‘Since the direwolves are kind of CG creations, we felt it best to keep it as simple as possible … It played out much more powerfully that way.’

The director of the episode, David Nutter, mentioned that the reason was due to "CGI-budget", and I'll be darned if folks can relate more to fictional dragons, then life animals - hounds, dire wolves or otherwise ... but fear naught, for Tormund has brought Ghost along for many adventures!


Artist Alex Solis (Instagram @alexmdc / oddworx.com) shows Tormund bringing along Ghost on snowy adventures in the true north, skiing trips and drawing penis on sleeping polar bear-head ... and we need to see MORE!


And at the end of a long fun day, Ghost chills by Tormund's fireplace, in this lovely fanart by Mel Schroeder ... A Good Boy deserves a good forever life, and I don't really care if he's living in the world or domesticated, even a fictional creature deserves better! You know nothing, Jon Snow...!
