The Starbucks cup in Game of Thrones: intentional?
Posted: Sat Dec 28, 2024 5:08 am
Cinema, at the moment, is made by humans, so there may be errors that viewers will always remember.
We could talk about the cameraman who appears in one of the Harry Potter films in the middle of a scene, a cowboy hat (instead of a pirate hat) in Pirates of the Caribbean ; or in my favorite film, Braveheart , in the middle of the 13th century and a battle, at the end of a cavalry scene a white van appears…
I highly doubt that the appearance of a white van, a cameraman or a hat from another era is intentional. However, what happened in one of the episodes of the last season of “Game of Thrones” gives me pause.
As you know, there is only one episode left of this historic series; fans of the series continue to launch theories about the ending, possible conspiracies, etc., which is making the screening even more talked about.
If there is something that has “tarnished” this last and definitive installment, it is what happened in chapter IV (“The last of the Starks”) . After the battle between the northerners list of telegram users in iran and their allies with the Night King ended, the celebration began and that is precisely where… as if by magic, a cup of coffee from the famous Starbucks chain appeared . There it was, in a room in Winterfell , in front of Daenerys Targaryen herself .
But be careful! We say that it was from this American brand, because of the similarity of its packaging, its proportions, its lid… but in reality it appears half-wrapped in the typical paper bag to avoid excess heat in the hand.
I'm sorry to tell you that it was neither coffee nor from Starbucks.
According to the production company, Daenerys had asked for some herbal tea and the catering company hired for the entire shoot left it there forgotten…
If you are reading this and want to see the famous “little glass” , it is no longer on screen. It was removed from the episode as soon as the cat was out of the bag . However, you can still have the chance in pirated versions.

But look, it doesn't matter that they removed it. The "damage" was done. And I put it in quotation marks because... is damage really the word? I find it hard to believe that a series like this, with all the team behind it, with the sequence reviews, with the post-production filter, they didn't notice this element.
Furthermore, its location is quite clear; it is not a white van at the end of a field with 40 horses in front of it. It is not a hat that blends in with many others on a boat. It is not a part of a cameraman's body that is difficult to spot in the crowd. As you can see in the image, the glass could not have been better placed. Without any elements around it, with nothing under it or on top of it, in the candlelight and, coincidentally, in front of the main protagonist. What's more, none of the protagonists in the room noticed it either?
