Yes, you read it right. A starbucks glass has slipped onto the screen in the latest episode of Game of Thrones. And, how could it be otherwise, Twitter is already on fire between threads and months. And you, have you seen the episode yet? Did you notice this coffee intruder? If not, here we are to take out the magnifying glass. Look look.
Attention XNUMX-hour: the following item may incur some spoiler about episode 8×04 of Game of Thrones. Our recommendation? That you see it before and after you come directly to this post to solve the mystery of the cup.
A glass of Starbucks in Game of Thrones
It is the funny news of the day. It is not for less. In the most recent episode of Game of Thrones aired this morning on HBO, titled «the last stark«, nothing more and nothing less than a glass of Starbucks, a business whose existence we can hardly justify in Westeros.
Despite the fact that thousands of people had already seen the chapter, practically no one had noticed the peculiar coffee intruder. It is actually more complicated than it seems. The scene has poor light (only candlelight) because it is night, there are several characters on stage and the context itself invites our brain to justify the existence of a glass on that plane.
However, one only has to look much more closely to realize that not the usual drink the one that Jon Snow drinks and it has nothing to do with the horn that Tormund has in his hand all the time: it's a glass from the Starbucks cafeteria, the kind that they give us when we order a coffee to go.
But before talking about what specific scene it is, let's make a game: do you dare to look for the glass?
first track: Appears during everyone's dinner at Winterfell.
second clue: It's close to Daenerys.
third track: The glass appears between minutes 14 and 15…
You found it? Indeed, it is at the moment when Tormund talks about the benefits of Jon Snow -who is sitting at the table- and the camera opens the shot to show Daenerys when the famous glass appears on the scene.
It is hard to believe that in a production of these characteristics they could have forgotten about that glass during filming -the specialists in Raccord they are for something- and also that no one during the editing has also noticed this.
It goes without saying that some already think if this is nothing more than a wink of the team for all the controversy that arose about how dark the game was Chapter 8 × 03 -in plan: "a lot of complaining but surely now, that it is also dark, you realize the intruder"-, but this theory of poetic revenge hardly holds up considering the series was filmed long before last week's episode aired - and its critical reviews.
1. After last week's #GameOfThrones, the cinematographer had to fight off criticism that it was too dark and people couldn't see.
2. So this week he inserts an offending Starbucks cup into the dark scene.
3. People spot the cup, cinematographer vindicated.https://t.co/V2Xx05BatT

It goes without saying that the memes In this regard, they have not been long in coming, several of them, of course, alluding to what the Starbucks employee would write on Daenerys's glass if the Mother of Dragons were to order a Pumpkin Spice Latte.
