"Game Of Thrones" Released Character Posters For Season 8 And There's A Heck Of A Lot To Unpack Here

Oh, just, 20 posters for you to stare at.

Here we are guys, 45 days away from the FINAL season of Game of Thrones, and we still don't have a trailer. However, we DO have some brand new Season 8 character posters — 20 of them in fact!

HBO

We've got Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen, Bran Stark, Arya Stark, Brienne of Tarth, Cersei Lannister, Ser Davos, Euron Greyjoy, Greyworm, The Hound, Jaime Lannister, Ser Jorah, Missandei, Melisandre, Sansa Stark, Samwell Tarly, Theon Greyjoy, Tyrion Lannister, Lord Varys, and of course the Night King.

Rather than just dumping them all into a slideshow, let's take a closer look at our faves...

Jon Snow:

HBO

First of all, let's point out the obvious that Jon is seated just like Ned Stark in the posters for Season 1 — let that settle in for a second.

HBO

The poses are similar, but there's a notable difference between Ned's burden-laden pose and Jon's very straight-up one — is he ready to sit on the Iron Throne? Does he even WANT to?! TBH, I prefer the idea of Jon being Hand of the King or Queen like Ned. But, ya know, there's the whole "prince that was promised" thing and, well, Jon truly is the only character that combines fire & ice... that we know of.

Daenerys:

HBO

The color scheme of Dany's outfit is leaning even more into the charcoal and red theme from Season 7 that signifies the Targaryen sigil colors. You can take a girl out of Valyria, but you can't take Valyria out of the girl!

HBO

Daenerys looks appropriate on the Iron Throne (and parts of her backstory also fit the "prince that was promised" prophecy), but I know some of y'all think she's too evil now to be the ruler of Westeros and may go the way of her mad ancestors. So, there's a very good chance it WON'T happen.

Cersei:

HBO

One of the biggest things I noticed off the bat is that Cersei does not have a crown here.

HBO

Given, Cersei doesn't ALWAYS wear a crown, but it was a big part of the promotional images for Season 7. So, I don't think the fact that it's missing is an accident. Also, it's probably worth noting she's no longer donning ALL black. There's some color in here for Season 8, dare I say even reddish in nature (like Targaryen red?!).

Sansa:

HBO

I AM LOVING SANSA'S CONTINUED TRANSFORMATION.

HBO

Sansa's Season 8 outfit is like high-fashion bondage and I am HERE. FOR. IT. Fans have already pointed out that the texture of this dress is reminiscent of the scale-like armor of her mother's family (House Tully) whose sigil is in fact a fish. And Costume Designer Michele Clapton has talked a lot in the past about how Sansa's outfits are an expression of herself, what she's been through (the chain necklace calling back to her troubled days in Season 4 with Littlefinger), and who her allegiance is to. So, does this mean Season 8 Sansa is aligning herself with the Tullys? OR, is it not fish scale, but actually DRAGON scale?

Arya and Bran:

HBO

In terms of look, these two appear to be wearing the same outfits as in Season 7. Makes sense, they're back home in Winterfell, it's cold, and they're badass. PROTECT THEM BOTH!

Tyrion and Varys:

HBO

Their looks haven't evolved much from Season 7 — they're still clearly dressing akin to their Queen Daenerys. DOUBT THAT WILL CHANGE.

Melisandre:

HBO

There's a cool hexagonal pattern in her dress here which is definitely a recurring shape in the clothes and jewelry of other priestesses from Asshai like Quaithe.

HBO

Overall, though, Melisandre's iconic Red Priestess look has definitely toned down over the seasons, and Season 8 sees the continuation of that.

Jaime and Brienne:

HBO

Jaime's wearing the same armor we last saw him in at the end of Season 7 — so, he's apparently still keeping things humble. Gone are the days of wearing a Lannister-clad chest plate. I love that Brienne is proudly holding Oathkeeper, which of course connect these two all the way back to Season 4. It's also one of only a few Valyrian steel swords running around Westeros so will PROBABLY come importantly into play in Season 8.

Euron and Theon:

HBO

Euron still looks like the jerk he is, no change here. However, Theon hasn't looked this put together since, like, Season 1. He's wearing armor, proudly displaying the Greyjoy's sigil — a kraken. This guy's ready to kick his uncle's ass. CAN'T WAIT.

Sam and The Hound:

HBO

No costume change for these two, either. However, I'm glad The Hound has a seat on the Iron Throne, because it reinforces the importance of his character this season. Cleganebowl fucking confirmed?

Missandei and Grey Worm:

HBO

Missandei and Grey Worm don't have any major costume changes either. Last we saw of them they were sailing north with Dany and co. I'm guessing we'll be seeing them in at least a few more layers once they land, though.

Ser Davos and Ser Jorah:

HBO

Davos is lookin' pretty much the same, so not much to remark about here. Jorah, however, we're seeing decked out in full armor again which is a nice change from, you know, linen shirts and greyscale.

And finally, the Night King:

HBO

All I have to say is that he looks a little TOO comfortable on the Iron Throne.

Game of Thrones returns April 14 on HBO!

HBO

It's gonna be a blast.
