I think your point on shock-value is quite interesting as I’ve always seen it from the perspective of a show that portrays the violence and shows the power of the women overcoming it.
In my opinion, to avoid certain scenes of horrors that happen to women would somewhat neglect real life suffering, and personally I think this brings greater light to some important issues happening in real life.
Particularly, as a lot of the time the women (Dany, Cersei, Arya, Sansa, etc) all overcome their adversity and grow as characters, I think the show does promote a great deal of strength in women to stand up for themselves and fight (theoretically or literally) against that treatment.

As you say, some scenes are not necessarily needed and may only serve to shock, but is that a slight on women or a characteristic of tv drama? To that, I don’t know but enjoyed the article.

I only just got a switch recently and bought Breath of the Wild having never properly played Zelda before (I’ve been traditionally a Pokemon guy). Definitely agree, it’s an epic game, so much to explore, but getting a greater story and some of the annoying weapon durability problems would make the sequel even better

I’m not so annoyed by the small plot holes created by time travel in certain films like Endgame as the writing does attempt to address certain concerns while still providing for an enjoyable experience. After all, movies without time travel often can still have glaring plot holes when you analyse them close enough.

I do think the time travel needs to be used wisely though. Bringing back major characters that have died ruins the meaningfulness of their story, particularly if a character has a great journey or sacrifice. It basically removes the previous story and a big middle finger to people who loved the originals (e.g. X-Men).
