The GoT writers are terrible and fundamentally don’t get that the point of fantasy is to ‘see the colours again’ (quote from the author of ASOIAF, the series upon which GoT is based), they’re wanky hacks who’re obsessed with making their show as GrimDark as possible, even though Westeros fashion of the books is this amazing technicolour parade of late medieval opulence. Also Michele Clapton seems to work in a boring mud palate no matter the styles, if S1 of The Crown is any indication

Lmaooooo I actually like the costuming of The Crown? Esp. Margaret’s. Idk it kind of makes sense to me that the color palette is duller generally, they’re all living in this gilded world but have to face all this pressure to project a certain image, maintain the status quo, all very strait-laced but repressed and not really allowed to express emotion in any genuine way in the public arena?

Even the colouring on that show seems a bit ~grey~ to me at times (especially the episode with the Great Fog or w/e but also in general); but I always figured that was intentional. Gloomy London with its grey skies and rain and all that; but also just the…vibes/aesthetic of the show. Subdued, things cracking but never doing so on the surface etc. etc.

But yeah I hate the vast majority of the GoT costuming, tb(honest).  And GoT; because of the GrimDark thing and the We Are So Edgy/With Freedom Comes (Gratuitous, almost always Female) Nudity thing and honestly I find the plot…….boring. Like I’m not invested in any of these people, I don’t think most of the actors are that great either so I’ve never really gotten invested in a character.
