Let there be light!
After the internet went on a tangent aboutGame of Thrones, complaining about last week’s Battle of Winterfell episode being way “too dark,” one fan took matters into their own hands.
On Sunday, viewers watched as Arya slaughtered the Night Knight in the darkness of the night, but complained that while the battle was clearly epic, it was hard to see.
“GOTspoiler without context,” wrote one Twitter user. “Oh you can’t see anything? Thats cause the episode was dark.”
Another fan asked HBO to “up the brightness.”

So, a Reddit user decided to put their video editing skills to some use and shared a much brighter, slower version of the crucial dragon battle scene — one of the many important events from episode 3, season 8 of the series.
Another added, “Thanks for sharing this. Why do they go to so much effort with the animation to then make it almost unwatchable?”

And while many fans were disappointed with the episode’s darkness, season 8’s third installment, titled “The Long Night,” was also one of the most difficult episodes for director Miguel Sapochnik to shoot. Filming the battle took 55 nights in freezing temperatures in Northern Ireland and additional weeks in a studio.
