Game Of Thrones Fans Can't Stop Roasting The Show For This Hilarious Oversight
The battle against the Night King and his army of wights is over. So the most recent episode of
Game of Thrones captured the elation and jubilant atmosphere of winning in the face of certain death, and in the resulting celebration, soldiers, commoners, and royal folk alike engaged in a celebration unlike what the North has ever seen.
Gendry Rivers is no more; he's been christened as Gendry Baratheon, Lord of Storm's End. Ser Davos led the toast to that and cups of mead spilled over as cheers corralled by means of the halls of Winterfell's castle. Yet mead wasn't the only thing being sipped on throughout this celebration. There was a lone Cloud Macchiato from Starbucks there.
This isn't a joke.
Of course, it probably wasn't a Cloud Macchiato. That's
Ariana Grande's territory. Maybe a coffee, black. Or a latte with added foam. Somehow, someway, a Starbucks coffee up noticed its way into Winterfell, on
Game of Thrones, a show as far away from modern reality as can be.
The cup was right there in front of Daenerys Targaryen, the rightful Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, who contained her own metal goblet of mead as she looked at the people celebrating Jon Snow (or Aegon Targaryen, nevertheless he doesn't aspire to be called that). The discontinuity was marvelous. It was a unassuming cameo, one that brings Starbucks into the realm of the show. The cup looked decidedly modern, however sadly, we couldn't visualize whose name was on the other side. If it
was, in fact, Daenerys' cup, may the Lord of Light bless the barista that had to fit "Daenerys Stormborn of Residence Targaryen, The initial of Her Name, Queen of the Andals and The opening Gentlemen, Protector of the Seven Kingdoms, the Mother of Dragons, the Khaleesi of the Wonderful Grass Sea, the Unburnt, the Breaker of Chains" onto one cup.
However even better were fan responses on Twitter, making light of the entirely out-of-place drink.
Starbucks isn't the only modern-day phenomenon that made it onto the show recently. Last season,
Ed Sheeran had a cameo as a singing soldier for the Lannister army. In the opening episode of Season 8, it was revealed that he was torched by Drogon and right now he has no eyelids. Yikes.
And to that, we'll toast our caramel frappuccinos from Starbucks. I hear that Westeros has one now.
