yeah i agree about the shit scene. I’m not opposed to poop jokes by any means, but this one didn’t land for me. I get the intent to set the vibe early and break from GoT (the cut away from the GoT theme song was a nice editing choice), but without setup it just felt abrupt instead of subversive. The “execution” of it was also a bit too cartoony compared to the rest of the episode.
I liked it, but the moment I saw it (a minute into the show?) I knew some people wouldn’t care for it. Which is completely fair. It’s such a jarring moment. However it definitely sets the tone, even if the show doesn’t actually reflect the tone being set.
But I don’t fault anyone for not liking it. It’s a divisive choice.

Anyway, I also enjoyed the rest of the episode.
