Game of Thrones released a bunch of new posters featuring some 20 different characters sitting on the Iron Throne, and new twitter emojis when you hashtag their names. The characters include: Daenerys Targaryen, Jon Snow, the Night King, Cersei Lannister, Arya Stark, Jaime Lannister, Tyrion Lannister, Sansa Stark, Bran Stark, Brienne of Tarth, Davos Seaworth, Euron Greyjoy, Jorah Mormont, Greyworm, Melisandre, Missandei, Samwell Tarly, Theon Greyjoy, Varys and The Hound.
Which, OK, I get it, but like, Sam and Theon and The Hound, and Jorah and Greyworm and Davos and Brienne? They aren’t getting anywhere near the Iron Throne. Come on. Lady Mormont is on that throne faster than any of these people.
To see the emojis, you have to tweet the following character names:

Ok, so this is more of a pop culture thing than it is a TV thing, but HOLY COW, the Disney Star Wars park sounds AMAZING.
