Shōgun Earned Its Game Of Thrones Comparisons With Episode 4
Given its epical background and intrigue - filled storytelling , Shōgunwas bound to draw compare toGame of Thrones . Those comparisons seem fully - earned now that the FX show has unleashed its most brutally crimson aspect to date , a disgraceful minute of slaughter that raised the stakes for all the eccentric , setting up a full - on war .
Nagakado ’s surprise attempt against Ishido ’s emissaries may not be as stunning as the Red Wedding , which saw dear fiber being felled , but it was a game - record changer forShōgun , coming as the dramatic punctuation mark mark to a relatively sedate episode filled with knowledgeable character consequence . Game of Thronesdelivered epic battle scenes well than any show in television chronicle , and nowShōgunhas set up itself up to depict flaming medieval warfare in its own period - authentic terms , unless somehow Toranaga is capable to defuse the situation with diplomacy .
Shōgunseason 1 is currently air on FX .
It ’s yet to be seen what happens next to Toranaga , Blackthorne , Mariko and the rest ofShōgunseason 1 ’s character , but peace treaty seems unlikely after Nagakado ’s brash act . There may not be dragons involved , but what happens now onShōgunmay nevertheless prove comparable to the most epicGame of Thronesmoments .
