Game of Thrones - How to Ruin a Great Show

Arya went west, Jon went north, Drogon went east and the show went south

“They ran outta books” pretty much sums it up.

Love how dragons can understand symbolism but can’t see hundreds of pirate ships with massive dragon killing crossbows mounted in the front

Just stopped by in 2024 to be pissed again. Bravo.

"the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives" and then all the Starks go solo, are totally alone and separated from one another.

I love Emilia Clarke for that interview. “Best season ever” cringe face 😂

My biggest issue is the fact that Arya can literally impersonate anyone, so when she and Sansa successfully plot to kill Littlefinger (the only person who played all sides), they didn’t take his face. She could have easily impersonated Littlefinger, sneak into the Red Keep, kill Cersei for Dany in exchange for the north’s liberation and everything would have been fine.

The thing that makes me so angry about this show is how pointless and useless everything surrounding John Snow turned out to be. John IS the song of Ice and Fire. He is the child of Lyanna Stark (Ice) and Rheagar Targaryen (Fire). The entire story is built upon his secret lineage, the fact that he is the true heir to the Iron throne by a legitimate but secret marriage. This reveal should have been MASSIVE. His ability to ride a dragon should have been a monumental scene, similar to the type of scene that Dany was given. The revelation of his lineage was THE revelation of the show, he has a higher claim than even Dany; TEN YEARS IN THE MAKING - but it was diminished significantly. The prophecies, him being brought back to life, The Prince That Was Promised - this all goes absolutely nowhere, and had no purpose whatsoever in his destiny. And the final nail in the coffin is that John returns to the fucking wall like the nobody bastard he started as. Everything about his arc amounts to NOTHING. What a trash ending. An ending so bad it managed to undo the entire legacy of what would have been the greatest show of all time.

And now its like GoT never existed. A massive cultural influence vanished into thin air. What a bad ending can do to a show is truly astonishing

D&D didn't just kill the show, they killed its rewatchability. If the show had lived up to the hype until the very ending, it would've become a timeless classic. But thanks to D&D, rewatching it, knowing how it ends, will never be worth it.

The show runners straight rushed to end it because they were set to make Star Wars movies. They fucked GOT up so bad that they lost Star Wars

It's also so infuriating how they managed Tyrion. He once was the smartest, wittiest character only rivaled by Varys and Petys and still he always had the edge. He was such an amazing character because despite being an "imp", the unwanted son and a villain in many peoples eyes, he was still a kind mand who was always a hindred steps ahead. But then, as soon as he starts counseling for Daenerys, all of a sudden EVERY SINGLE one of his plans, fail. And the perfectionist Queen who doesn't tolerate those kinds of mistakes decides to keep him even after he fucked up like 5 times in a row. Tyrion from the book would've conquered the world the moment he met Daenerys, but they just hard nerfed him.

Tyrion: "Bran, you should be king". Bran: "I can't be king". Tyrion: "But you must be king". Bran: "K" Bran: "Tyrion, you will be hand". Tyrion: "I can't be hand". Bran: "But you must be hand". Tyrion: "K"

Bran did nothing for a whole season? Bran did nothing for the entire show.

It's crazy how Winterfell refused to join the Seven Kingdoms when a frickin' Stark sat on the throne.

"I don't even feel like I watched the ending of this show, it was so unsatisfying." This is exactly how I feel, I still can't even accept what we got as an ending. There was no closure or satisfaction at all and it was so unbelievably insulting to the viewers intelligence.

In every interview about season 8, the cast looks like they're being held hostage

"I DONT WANT THA THROOOONE!! SHES MA KWEEEN!" -Jon for all of szn 8

I just finished the series today, how does nobody talk about how we saw thousands of people get wiped out by the white walkers, basically everyone, yet after they kill the night king their armies are perfectly fine? I thought there was going to be some creative way they would have to defeat cersei due to lack of numbers. But no, just a regular old battle with a massive army. Hell, their plan was to surround the city!? WHERE DID THIS ARMY COME FROM

When I heard that the writers caught up to books I was like “Oh I’m sure it’ll still be fine, they’ve been writing these characters for ages” then I watched one episode and I felt all positivity drain out of me across that one episode and I just stopped. My mum and dad continued and after the last episode of the series my mum was livid and dad wouldn’t even let me ask, just immediately shut me down when I asked “what was so bad”. That’s how I found out just how bad it was
