"Like watching The Revenant on LSD" - Twitter reacts to *that* unbearable Game of Thrones season 7 attack

Game of Thrones season 7, episode 6 had a lot going on. But there was one grizzly moment in particular that had everyone running for the e-hills. If you’ve seen it then you’ll know what I’m talking about. If not, then continue on at your own risk – there’s an flurry of spoilers to come…

Three words: Zombie. Polar. Bear. If that’s not enough, then the guys and girls of Twitter have elaborated on the shock wintry attack in their own inimitable way. Bear with me…

Who saw that coming...?

Bear grills

There's snow way they can top that

Gendry is officially Superman now. This is canon.

Haven't we seen that bear before?

Not everyone was a fan, though. A paw CGI effort, perhaps?
