Ares they face extinction. If they want to ***** and moan when the Night King is defeated then so be it. Now is not the time.
Not really aware of any population in real life that acted like this in face of extinction. Probably because they ended up going extinct. The good thing about fiction is you can write them beating the odds despite their abject stupidity.
House Glover and a few others refused to fight so it wasnt just bitchiness. May the NK triumph over them and they can revel in their pettiness in their graves.
Yeah see as a viewer, I agree... how could you not... we've seen the Night King and all he can do and the horde he is bringing to their door.
They have not seen it, only heard it, and they are stupid feudal peasants.
They don't grasp that they face extinction or even that they truly face the greatest threat possible.
This is a fundamental human problem.... we see it in our modern humans with regards to climate change lol
I know you think they should be this monolithic unified North that says "**** everything, we gotta fight the Night King" but they aren't....
Your expectations of human beings, especially feudal peasants circa 800-1200 is wildly unrealistic.
Put yourself in the shoes of a Northern peasant who cannot read, never ventures more than a mile or so from his home, and just generally hates anything disturbing his life. Winter is truly coming and you are trying to figure out how to survive it.... have enough food/shelter for you and your family. You heard those Lord fucktards decided on yet another fucking King in the North.... this Jon Snow, he will lead you to whatever.... blah blah you heard it before with dumbass Robb. Oh and now he shows up with a bunch of foreign troops and a foreign Queen....
You don't really know or understand the threat, you are a dumb fucking peasant who will continue to be a dumb fucking peasant until the ice zombies show up.
We can't get people on the same page in a day and age where we can reach a good 90% of people inside of 30 minutes via various digital communication forms if we have enough status/power.... now imagine trying to get feudal peasants on the same page across a giant landmass when they can't read or reason beyond the level of a child most of the time.
