finally meet again! (Don’t worry, no spoilers)
As of the beginning of the latest episode, "Game of Thrones" has set too many records as HBO’s most powerful TV series. It is the most popular TV series in HBO history. It won the 2018 Emmy Awards. Shanghai leads the way with 22 nominations; what’s even more frightening is that the audience ratings for each episode of the seventh season are above 10, and the audience for each episode on the entire platform is above 30 million.
However, these prefixes are just one of the indicators that prove the power of "Game of Thrones". To a certain extent, it is like a cultural Spring Festival gala, bringing everyone who is immersed in the plot and unable to extricate themselves.
If you haven't watched this drama, here is a brief introduction to the plot to better enter the game. In general, this is the story of several human families competing for the throne on a continent called Westeros. They all dream of sitting on the Iron Throne and becoming the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms. At the same time, the frozen zombies from the extreme north of this continent-strange ghosts, are also thinking about how to wipe out these stupid humans who fight every day.
Starting today, all this will be settled. Prior to this, various media gave their predictions without showing any weakness. This is also a common concern of fans around the world-who can live to the end and board the Iron Throne? But for advanced fans, , such as a mathematics professor, used his own strengths to answer this question, and I will tell you this in detail later.
now let us enter the real game, this year's highlight moment of making a fortune is now.
As early as the beginning of April, the American sports betting website Odds Shark gave out odds of for 12 related characters, pushing the carnival to a climax. Maybe you will question the odds of some characters and firmly defend your opinion (until you get hit by the plot reverse), but isn't this what makes it interesting?
The disabled stark youth, this unlucky boy who was pushed down from the tower and turned into a disability in the first episode of the first season, has been on the brink of the throne battle from beginning to end. How could he defeat others for the throne? ?
only comes with the magic attribute of "traveling through time and space", which makes his story line confusing and confusing. There is a saying that in order to complete the closed loop of the time and space settings in the play, Bran, who missed the Iron Throne, will eventually become the leader of the alien army and the number one enemy of mankind-the Night King. (???)
In this show, people who know too much have no good end, but Xuenuo is different, he knows nothing (knows nothing).
If this is a drama based on a routine, with noble blood but bearing the humiliation as an illegitimate child, Snow, who has been guarding the border for many years, has undoubtedly locked the Iron Throne in advance; but do you remember his sudden death at the end of the fifth season? So it is not impossible to die again. The story of the seventh season of
tells us that the little girl who has been tortured in the previous seasons has grown up, with the tough character of the Stark family, plus the tricks of the little finger of the number one "trader" in the play, Sansa · Stark seems to be a strong contender for the final player.
Daenerys, as a descendant of the former king Targaryen family, came straight to the Iron Throne from the beginning. Dragon's blessing and the expansion of the "talent" of the team also made her comprehensive power among the best. Except for Queen Cersei, who now dominates the throne, Daenerys "Dragon Mother" really has no human rivals that can be matched.
But, yes, but, according to the plot of the seventh season, the dragon mother who originally had 3 dragons lost a dragon. What's more, the dragon was resurrected by the night king with magic and successfully included; plus The relationship line with "nephew" Jon Snow makes the whole show even more messy.A girlfriend died terribly...
Don’t forget about Gendelli because he has been “flooding”! He is the son of the former King Robert! The friendship between the previous generation of King Robert and "The Hand of the King" Ned Stark ended when the King was arched to death by a wild boar and the King's hand was beheaded. I wonder if this generation of grievances will last long. a little. In addition to being an illegitimate child, Gendley's hammer, who has been focusing on ironing for 30 years, makes him seem to be fighting. But if he sits on the throne...
As of the date of publication, Littlefinger has been dead 594 days.
When the drama is so dilapidated, thinking about it, it’s not as good as the Night King taking over Westeros and turning everyone into ghosts. Compared to whether the Night King will turn the ice and fire continent into an ice continent, it is even more curious-what is the origin of the Night King? Why is the Night King leading the ghosts to invade south?
The hand of the king "usurs the throne" when the king? It sounds like a bridge in Chinese classical literature. From a data point of view, Tyrion has always been the most important and most important character in this drama.
Does this mean that he is not far from death? Hope not. At least his wisdom allows him to escape to Essos and continue to be an alcoholic.
When the sun rises from the west, Long Ma will be pregnant again... so don't hope too much.
Since returning from studying abroad in the Black and White Temple, Arya’s strength cannot be underestimated. She can compete with the beauty Brienne in swordsmanship, coupled with the "face changing" technique taught by Jia Kun, and let Stark The combat effectiveness has improved a lot. However, according to Alia's own wishes and the settings in the play, she is obviously suitable to be a knight rather than a monarch on the throne.
If Sam Will sits on the throne, then this drama is probably to tell us: Knowledge changes destiny, reading makes life.
We chased for seven seasons, isn’t it just to watch people pull the Lannister family from the Iron Throne? ! Cersei really did too many "bad things", and if the Iron Throne was left to her, it would be better to leave it to the Night King.
There shouldn't be any drama that uses so many character relationships when analyzing the final ending, right? It takes a lot of time just to calculate the odds, and this road to wealth seems not so easy. The uniqueness of
"Game of Thrones" is that there is no absolute single protagonist in the whole show, or there are more core characters in each season.
Andrew J. Beveridge, Associate Professor of Mathematics at Macalester College in the United States uses network science statistics to turn "Game of Thrones" into a network drawing , helping everyone to straighten out a large number of characters and relationships. And their weights and intricate changes.
Let’s first look at a general character relationship diagram. In fact, it is not that complicated. It is a network diagram constructed from 400 characters and 41578 clues. In order to make the network diagram clearer, only a quarter of the nodes ( Role) is marked.
In this network, each node represents a character in the story, and the link weight between the characters (that is, the thickness of the line) represents the intensity of their interaction, that is to say, the thicker the line and the larger the center point, the character will be The more important it is, the closer the interaction is. The small community network composed of the same color can be understood as a community of interests. For the protagonist of this show,
proposed a concept called the fractal protagonist. Simply put, who is the protagonist depends on you and how you think the storyline develops. This is equivalent to the fact that fans naturally vote for their favorite players on the audition show, and the C position is constantly changing during the show.
However, they still use accurate data analysis to crown the "most important role" in each season.
takes the first season as an example. After the connection of the network of characters, there are mainly five story lines formed, namely, the Night Watch Legion, the Lannister Family, Dothrack, King's Landing and the Stark Family.
The story line of Junlin City mainly revolves around Ned Stark, who is the "hand of the king" going south, King Robert and his youngest daughter Alia, who was brought to Junlin City by Ned;
Lannister family The main reason lies in the appearance of Tyrion Lannister. The "adventure" to the north has brought him into contact with the Stark family and the Night Watch Corps;
As for the nomadic Dothraki on another continent, it is It has undertaken the part where the orphans of the Targaryen family of the former king seek new forces to seek a comeback.
The mutual "containment" between them also increased the proportion of the drama, it is obvious that the plot development of Junlin City (the blue part) is the main line of the first season. In addition to the network map,
also has five indicators to measure the importance of the role, degree center, weighted degree, feature vector, page ranking and intermediary. It sounds complicated, but it is not without basis. The five indicators are shown from left to right in the figure below, corresponding to the number of other characters that this character recognizes in the play, the frequency of interaction with them, the number of important characters recognized, and Their frequency of interaction and help in building the entire network map. According to the standards of
as a "central figure", in this season, Ned's network is much denser than Tyrion, and the formation of a "three-legged" relationship with many people makes him a stable champion. Tyrion did not directly participate in the plot of the King’s Landing, which reduced his points for the "protagonist". In the first season, he played more of the role of maintaining the balance of the plot, letting Ned and Stark play this role. The two story lines are not so lonely. Taken together, it ranks second after Ned.
According to the same algorithm, Professor Andrew gave a network diagram of each season, and the changes in the relationship between the characters can be seen intuitively from the pictures.
After sorting out the relationship between the characters, the network pictures of the second season became clear at a glance, and Tyrion began to take the leading role.
By the third season, the plot has become obviously scattered, and the story lines have become independent. "King of the North" Robb Stark is proud to mention the protagonist (and lunch box) by virtue of his bravery and skillful combat. Of course, the plot of
cannot remain unchanged. There are as many as eight communities of interest in the fourth quarter, and Tyrion is undoubtedly the most important character in the story line of Kings Landing.
Then, Cersei's strong determination and desire for power in the war helped her win the fifth season of the "laurel".
has as many as nine communities of interests in the sixth season. Sansa Stark has become the most important role of the season because of the dense association with many characters.
As the plot progresses to the seventh season, the network nodes are more clear, and the story line is simplified to four, namely, the battle against the ghosts, the search for the dragon crystal to restrain the ghosts, the Junlin City and the Winter City. The core scenes of
are transferred to Jon, Tyrion and Daenerys. Jon, who has established himself as the King of the North, needs to go south to seek assistance from Daenerys to fight the alien army. Daenerys, who is trying to overthrow the Lannister family and become the Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, needs Tyrion's assistant. After the
storyline gradually merged, the central competition became simplified, and their data results became clearer. The fifth season champion Cersei and the sixth season champion Sansa retired to fourth and fifth place. Jon won the seventh season championship by virtue of a strong network.
Comprehensive first seven seasons, Tyrion, Jon,Cersei Lannister, Daenerys, and Sansa stand out in big data. Measured according to the five indicators of the bar chart in the previous article, the ranking of each role is as follows:
in the entire database, with Tyrion as The center has more interactions than other characters, and he participates in the development of the story more completely. The original novel "A Song of Ice and Fire" has the most chapters with him as the main perspective, and he has appeared the most times in the first seven seasons of the TV series, and has played a decisive role in key moments many times.
Jon won the second place in this throne race.
In the first few seasons, the Iron Throne was firmly in the hands of the Lannister family. By the seventh season, due to the invasion of aliens, Jon, the commander of the night watch, has occupied the highest position in the entire story. This means He is the character that connects the most relationships. As for the eighth season, whether he can maintain this momentum and survive to the end is also an issue that many fans care about.
So do you know how to bet?
can be said to be spoiled, but is there any problem?
is obviously not, and there are still some mysteries that the data cannot tell us.
will they all die eventually?
After all, Valar Morghulis (all mortals are mortal), and then.
Can Jon Snow clarify his genealogy?
Up to now, two key figures have known about Snow's life experience, but this does not mean that the truth will be revealed to the world. What's more, in today's chaotic situation, even if everyone knows it, it seems to have no real effect...
Will the child in Cersei's belly survive?
The witch's predictions about Cersei's children have been fulfilled in the previous seasons, and at the end of the seventh season, Cersei's pregnancy again brought her already predetermined destiny to the unknown again. Perhaps this child will become the key to a new wave of power games? Or maybe he will never come to this world at all.
The ice dragon resurrected by the Night King and the dragon mother's fire dragon showdown, which one will win? Who is the Night King in
?
The Night King is a different part of the episode and the original. In the original, he is the commander-in-chief of the Stark family, but his identity in the episode seems not so simple.
Now, you can open the first episode and look for clues.
