This episode of the podcast was pretty incredible. To watch him and Benny write a song live was wild. Ed seems like a really good dude.

I never understood why ppl don’t like him. He seems alright

Seems like when you are talented and successful there will always be some assholes wanting to hate on you.

I hated that episode but his cameo was fine. The idea of that scene was good even. It got followed up not at all which is typical

I didn’t see it but I assume it’s because he has Ed Sheeran face, which is exclusive to the time period and weird to see in such a setting. They may as well have given him a fidget spinner for a weapon or replaced him with that dancing hot dog.

I like Ed fine…I feel bad about saying it but his cameo was the point I realized this wasn’t the GoT we’d come to know & love. I may have been suspicious before this, but this was it for me.

It just felt out of place, no hate to him.

They did it because Maisie Williams was a huge Ed Sheeran fan. It wasn’t a big role. It was just fun. Hardly even in the top 10 of worst GOT moments
ElThrowaway-619 on
The issue was that it was out of nowhere and it ruined the illusion of the show.
I remember when it happened live and Twitter blew up saying why was he there and that it was a ruined moment. But other than that no one really cared.

I didn’t mind the Ed Sheeran cameo, but I draw the line at the Aaron Rodgers cameo.

I thought his cameo was cool. Wish more actors made cameos these days. And the dude seems cool.

Let’s be real… Game of Thrones has a lousy fandom too.

My fave was Iggy Pop in Star Trek Deep Space Nine.

I loved this cameo tbh.
It was a perfect mirror from our world to theirs. In our world, someone like Sheeran is a star. Famous and loved by an army of people. In the GameofThrones world, he’s nothing. Artists and musicians are the lowest class of person in that world. And then if there’s a war, welp, time for you to put the lute down and pick up a sword and shield.

I never hated on him for it. If I had a favorite show and was super famous I’d be pulling every string to get a cameo.
InsomniaticWanderer on
I never had a problem with it. His character is a one-and-done with zero impact on literally anything AND he was there as a gift/favor for Maisey who had a huge crush on him at the time.
It would be no different if it was Arnold Schwarzenegger or something. It’s a fun little thing and an actress gets to meet someone they admire.
Let people have fun.

While true, people do enjoy shitting on him, seeing such a high profile non-actor is immersion-breaking. It’s why people flipped out when they saw Travis Scott in The Odyssey trailer. It pulls you right out, you go from watching something to being fully aware you’re watching something.
Haruismydog on
Huh, I liked his cameo.
MeatballUser on
It was like product placement for a person. Completely broke the immersion of the show. I don’t like that he got so much shit for it, it’s completely on the directors, but it was super out of place

Poor rich celebrity. 😭😭😭Who would have thought being crowbarred into a beloved series solely for your celebrity status would have backlash☹️☹️☹️ let me lick those salty rich tears little Eddy😭😭😭😭

Not his fault, show runners deserve the blame.

Maybe it was collateral damage
Human-Raccoon-9917 on
No idea who he was when I was watching the show. Only found out well after in social media.
snugpuginarug on
It wasn’t badly done or anything, and his performance was fine, it’s really just that it’s Ed fucking Sheeran. And it was pretty much at his height too. He could’ve given a daniel day lewis level performance and i would still have seen him as ed sheeran, not whatever his characters name is, thoroughly reminding me i’m just watching a show. My suspension of disbelief stops at Ed Sheeran apparently
TKFourTwenty on
It was more a symbol that D&D seemed to be motivated by something beyond the show itself – their success and fame. But I love Ed Sheeran and thought he actually did nicely.
TraditionalMood277 on
Well, because his music is shit. So…yeah.
SpudHawkins on
Well, if it makes the haters feel better, wasn’t there a line where someone said his character got his eyelids melted off? Correct me if I’m wrong.
OceanLemur on
I didn’t mind the cameo one bit and I’m usually a cynic. The later seasons lacked the lighthearted and grounded scenes of early seasons, so I found the whole scene refreshing.
Sorry-Secret-2347 on
Well that wasnt his fault it was D&D for wasting a scene on irrelevant singing lol
cold_anchor on
Not a Sheeran hater and have never even seen GOT, but it’s always annoying when mega celebs get to do cool shit just cause they’re celebs…that show was like the biggest show on the planet there was no reason for him to be on it.
NoCaterpillar2051 on
Oh Ed. It wasn’t you, it was the entire season. We had a lot to dislike.
Rahnzan on
Maybe if the camera didn’t zoom in right on his fuckin face and kept him as a bloody Easter egg this would have been a pleasant gotcha moment but tweedle dumb and tweedle dumber wouldn’t know subtlety if it hit them in the head like a brick.
FrodoFraggins on
The blame went to the show runners who should have known better. They clearly didn’t. I never held it against Ed.

I dunno, it was fine
