Game Of Thrones Season 7 Trailer Reactions: 7 Ups And 3 Downs

2. The Lannisters Look Screwed (And The Mountain's WTF Helmet)

Cersei is ready to take on all challengers - East, West, South, and North - but while that's great for drama, it's not going to go so well for the character, at least not based on the trailer.

Indeed, if there's a bit of a downside to Cersei's attitude, it's that the trailer shows on numerous occasions what appears to be the Lannister army getting their asses kicked by both the Unsullied and the Dothraki.

We already know - or at least can confidently predict - that there's no real way she can stand against the might of Daenerys' army (or armies), not with the depleted forces of House Lannister (which hasn't really recovered from the War of the Five Kings), so it's slightly strange the trailer really sells it that way, and paints the Lannisters as being totally screwed - unless there's a big twist coming. Cersei is a badass, but her demise right now feels inevitable.

On top of that, there's also the Mountain's new armour. The body is fairly sleek, but WTF is that helmet doing?
