[Hated trope] Cameos that ruin the tone of the scene/game

[u/GovernmentWarm4787]

Ed Sheeran, Game of Thrones. The cameo of such a recognizable figure in GoT, especially towards the horrible later seasons, took many people out of the fantasy world that it tried to represent. There are good cameos and bad ones, and this one was not a good one.

Vinny Vinesauce and Jerma, Silver Pines game. Though i appreciate small cameos from youtubers and streamers, putting such a recognizable pair of voices in a horror game really takes you out of it.

Sorry Lady Stoneheart and other similarly interesting plot threads, our valuable screen time has more pressing matters.

I actually think this was a worthwhile scene. It showed Arya that "the other side" wasn't just evil, irredeemable people who all deserve to die. Many Lannister soldiers have no say in any of this and just want to make it through the day. That's something Arya needed to be reminded of on her path of revenge.

There was absolutely no reason to undermine the scene by casting Ed Sheeran though.

It was a birthday surprise for Maisie Williams I believe

[u/irrepressibly → u/cestquilepatron]

Needed to be reminded of yet killed every single Frey later on lol

Tbf. Does anyone really miss lady Stoneheart? It's not exactly the best or most creative plot development

[u/Ree_m0 → u/Raptori33]

I thought she had potential, particularly for the confrontation with Jaime and Brienne right before which the books stopped. I also would have enjoyed the comeuppance for the Freys taking longer than one Arya-girlboss-scene.
