Hudson Ross
Normally to bask in the glow of fan appreciation, but they might have realized there isn’t going to be any of that.
Jayden Smith
I don’t watch or read GoT but from what I understand, simply not dying seems like a happy ending in GoT. Also the crippled kid becomes king, that seems like a happy end. Why is shipping so important for you?
So you don't know what you are talking about, but you think your opinion is worth voicing?
Adam Myers

So why haven't they been fired from the star wars project? That one director got sacked because of a shit project, the sins of these faggots is far worse than making the Book of Henry.

Bernie flopped in 2016 the minute he decided to KEK himself to Hillary despite practically having the DNC by the balls as far as popular support after the WikiLeaks leaks. The 2020 election has basically every democratic candidate being forced to promise to give litterally everything for free, so Bernie is redundant.

Jose Wood
I do. Just because the ending wasn't what we wanted doesn't mean they didn't have any sort of vision. Freaking out and writing petitions because your favorite character didn't win on a television show is childish and pathetic.

he’s put out several books in that time. just not the only one that actually matters. Fire & Blood is pretty good though, I’m like 2/3 done with it.
Thomas Clark
>It’s media so why u mad XD
This is the single most brainlet response to criticism and even if this is a bait post it makes me seeth. This is up there with the “We worked hard on it” brainlet response from people that don’t see shit through the eyes of the consumer. Also people payed to watch this shit so you kinda owe it to people to be consistent.
You don't understand these guys, they're like always sunny characters in real life. Theyre trolling their fans and hate George, they already got the star wars money so they don't care
>How does everyone feel about the fact that two twats prioritized their promotion to Disney over thousands of people hard work and their 8 year journey to come together for once in a life time experience? >stare blankly at the panel
Adrian Smith
It sounds like your expectations were subverted. By your own admission you have said that season 8 accomplished its intended goal. You are just mad because it makes you uncomfortable when things do not go the way they are "supposed to". This is a clear sign that you and a majority of the GoT fandom have severe autism.
Kayden Cruz
>You're no con. >Oh, but I am. And I fucked D&D...
Camden Richardson
That documentary they released is so depressing when you see all those crew members who worked themselves half to death over what is possibly the worst 80 minutes of TV ever
Brayden Ramirez
Why does everyone hate these guys so much? GoT was good and it ended fine. Dany or Jon winning in the end would have been boring and predictable.
What specifically was wrong with the ending? They didn't resolve a few subplots for inconsequential characters? There was only 6 episodes instead of 10 in the last season so you think it was rushed? Who gives a fuck?
Not OP, but the show sucked ass a long time ago. Glad to see normies lose their shit over a fantasy cosplay series, they deserve it.
Christopher James
It was HER turn!
Lincoln Gray
why would we want happy endings?
Dominic Hernandez
>Why don't people give this fat hack more shit? Because he has nothing to do with the ending of the show. That was all the fault of D&D. The books will have a completely different ending. For example Rickon will end up king of the north and arya is going to die and warg into her direwolf

Jordan Wilson
I still can't get over the fact how literally everything in that show is made by top of the industry professionals except for the writing. That is fucking upsetting to say the least. The writing is the glue that holds all of the other people's talents together and brings a story to life. No amount of sex is going to help here, I need to draw blood.
Nathan Moore
it's reddit they unironically think seasons 5-7 were great but just hate season 8 because that's the popular thing to do.

Everybody hates season 8, you actual retard. No amount of demonizing Reddit will change the fact that season 8 was garbage.

Ending was fine. The road there feels like a fever dream with literally no meaningful dialogue. Keep the end points, build a road that we can traverse on without feeling like we're going through the last stages of ebola.
Aaron Harris
>Ending was fine. The ending was garbage.
Jaxon Cox
Because it made no fucking sense. If you connect the dots correctly the characters can end how they ended and it will be a good ending.
>“The internet affects all this to a degree it was never affected before,” Martin tells EW when asked about fan reaction to the final season. “Like Jon Snow’s parentage. There were early hints about [who Snow’s parents were] in the books, but only one reader in 100 put it together. And before the internet that was fine — for 99 readers out of 100 when Jon Snow’s parentage gets revealed it would be, ‘Oh, that’s a great twist!’ But in the age of the internet, even if only one person in 100 figures it out then that one person posts it online and the other 99 idiots read it and go, ‘Oh, that makes sense.’ Suddenly the twist you’re building towards is out there. And there is a temptation to then change it [in the upcoming books] — ‘Oh my god, it’s screwed up, I have to come up with something different, absolute morons have discovered my twist’ But that’s wrong. Because you’ve been planning for a certain ending and if you suddenly change direction just because some f***-head figured it out, or because they don’t like it, then it screws up the whole structure. So no, I don’t read the fan sites. I want to write the book I’ve always intended to write all along. And when it comes out they can like it or they can not like it.”
It's like Game of Thrones was series about failures and not about happy endings. But what do I know. Most of these didn't start watch this series from the start.
Julian Adams
You retard thats the correct perspective.
Nathan Williams
What is your argument for a preteen tree wizard being elected King? When there is another Targaryen (bastard or not) in Jon? When Gendry exists? When Edric Storm exists?
Benjamin Morris
You could theoretically take the bullet points of the ending and turn it into a good story but no amount of redoing the middle would fix the ending as it was filmed.

I wouldn't even mind if bran warged drogon at the end and it was made clear he was going to be a supreme ruler. But apparently the show ends defending the status quo when the status quo has been the problem the whole show
Julian Diaz
Having Bran become King without any use of his powers at all in the last 2 seasons was TV malpractice. HBO knows they fucked up, too. I suspect that the rewatch/merch/blu-ray sales are totally flat
Kayden Kelly
He has a good story. I don't see the road either, that's why I am not writing books. I am simply not so self-involved to think that i know everything and that i can think of everything. Are you? I agree. Really hopping the book pans out. Come on GRRM you fat cunt, don't disappoint. Sounds like your expectations were subverted.
Jordan Murphy
He does a consistent story with foreshadowed twists and doesn’t panic rewrite just because some fag on the internet guessed the twist. Much better than the DnD or RJ idea that it’s fine as long as no one expected it.
GRRM’s problem as a writer is he’s lazy and easily sidetracked. His stuff on writing twists is spot on.
Blake Evans

Dylan Wood
Your joke wasn't funny, and now your deflecting instead of defending the shit ending that you like.
Owen Nguyen
Bran warging Drogon would have been fine. There were a million ways to do a Dany-goes-Hitler/King Bran ending correctly. But the writing and production team ran out of gas a couple of years ago.
Owen Bell
Wrong, they want to avoid an incident that will underline the fact that they drove the show into a ditch. It will be named alongside Lost and Dexter as shows ruined by a poorly-written finale (until it is inevitably remade by Warner)
Adrian Sanchez
>Your joke wasn't funny YOU MISSED THE JOKE.You don't even get to say if it was funny when you didn't get it. That's not how anything works, holy fuck. >and now your deflecting Now I am telling you I don't care about you to play by the rules you set. >defending the shit ending that you like. That was never the argument. I said the ending points were and I quote here "fine". A statement to which you replied "show me how" and I said "I don't know how, I don't everything". There is nothing to defend, you're just mad because you projected a bunch of shit. Do you understand now? Of course not, you're going to spin your autism because you're "trolling". So this will be the last time I respond to you. Bye.
Henry Edwards
>ran out of gas a couple of years ago. It’s also a problem of them choosing to focus Dany being yaaas slay queen and dropping the less glowing parts of her. Show Dany was like them trying to desperately drag her back onto the book tracks with only a couple episodes left.

That would imply people going there being negative. But i'm not sure that's the kind of people that would go there.

Dany shouldve never been Hitler, she should've been reign of terror, establishes her as an actual antagonist to the main characters as the fire threat, they're all nobility and it fits her character better.

>unironically naming your series '''bloodmoon''' what the fuck are they thinking? sounds like some dumb shit about werewolf's made for teenage girls. What will the story even be about? none of the houses exist and the Valyrians are busy fucking goats
I can’t help being a contrarian, it’s just the way my brain works. I actually did like the ending but I think it was extremely rushed. they should’ve fleshed that whole last season into two seasons so that it all made sense. I get that a lot of women took the Mad Queen personally but it makes sense with her family’s history (read Fire & Blood) and it was a way more interesting ending than her on the throne, it strangely endeared her to me. I don’t love Bran on the throne but I don’t want to lynch D&D or GRRM for it. they could have set it up better. the scene where they decided on him being king was a bit silly for no reason other than fan service. I liked Bronn and Sam on the small council and Brienne as Kingsguard, but admittedly that’s mostly because I liked all 3 of those characters in the books and show.
Alexander Rodriguez
Don't forget the obsessed bartender
Cooper Torres
also I wish Varys made it, he was one my favorites. I would’ve preferred Tyrion on the throne, but I’m fine with where he ended up.

I never liked the show much after the 4th season. I’ve finally gotten around to reading the books and now I know why, they completely fucking diverged from the crazy shit GRRM started writing in for book 5, these books are so much better than the garbage after s4 it’s not even funny. In the show they purposefully kept Brienne, Pod, the Hound, Bronn and Beric WAYYY long after they should’ve been dead or pretty much forgotten like they are in the books and D&D completely omitted some extremely important plot lines like prince of dorne going to the free cities, lady stone heart, fucking fAegon appearing out of nowhere, all of the ironborn shit, all Eurons crazy dark magic..... fuck d&d and fuck the retards that hate on the show without even glimpsing at the books
James Ward
Maybe, but it fit.
David Johnson

Jordan Kelly
D&D didn't read past 3rd book
Jayden Nguyen

Dominic Clark
If that’s true, it really really does show. Even important main characters like Jon, Tyrion, Stannis and Varys are dumbed down and mischaracterized I’m the show. Book Jon would never be as retarded as s8 show Jon, also Stannis tells Jon about all the Dragonglass on dragonstone in like the 3rd fucking book. Varys and Tyrion act like fucking bffs in the show even tho in the books their relationship is tenuous at best, everybody is constantly suspicious of everyone else fucking them over. Fuck d&d
Andrew Scott

They can't. They literally stole the show from him. George was always working with the showrunners, up until Season 4 wherein an incident or disagreement happened and their relationship got fucked. It really shows too because the quality dip in writing was VERY obvious in season 5 and onwards.
Brody Ward
First the latter, then the former

Justin Green

Gabriel Rivera
DnD apologist do blame the fatman for any criticism on the writing, which is totally unjustified btw and who the fuck even are you to have the gall to want anything better
Liam Phillips
That incident happened because George still thought they wouldn't be cutting entire plot lines and fast forwarding the last two books. When he wrote the script for S04E02 (Joffrey's wedding) he laid the groundwork for future seasons with Bran's visions, the Stark's connection with their wolves among many other things, but D&D were already set on strongly cutting back the more fantastical elements and toning down or skipping huge chunks of the plot. Once they had that meeting and he was told they were really going through with the cuts to wrap things up asap he gave up on the show.
Carter Reyes

Creators need to be held to task for bad writing. Letting bad writers who ruin shows and movies still have careers is the reason why the industry is shit.
Cooper Miller
Everyone knew since ep1 because of the leaks, but people were in denial until the very last minute, it was so retarded people believed they filmed multiple endings, invented crazy theories how night king is coming back, how the last scene after credits shows dany is alive and jon faked her death and that is the ONLY scene which didn't leak because they filmed it in secret etc etc shit was fucking surreal.
Colton Murphy
Agree
Samuel Nguyen
Fuck all you cunts, this series will stand the test of time.
Tyler Price
This isn’t true, but in interviews they did not bother to hide their disdain for 4 & 5. It created a pretty nasty rift between them and GRRM
Evan Hughes
Yes, alongside Lost and Dexter as good shows ruined by a failure to stick the landing

I don't even know why people wanted dumbshits as Dany or Jon enthroned. They would be eaten alive and spat out once the court returns to normal.

Blake Flores
People typically never speak fondly of shows that were once kino and then turned to abysmal garbage in a very quick and sudden manner because you’re dealing with shows that ran for years and had millions of viewers invested deeply on an emotional level. When a show suddenly decides to turn bad, it does in fact (no matter what shills try to say) speak volumes on the character of its writers and how truly they cared about the long term success of their show and it’s relationship with the aforementioned, emotionally invested fan base. It’s simply not a good look no matter how you try to spin it.
This is why there is an unspoken obligation that show runners and writers have to be in tune with their fans and not see them as some easily disposable, red light district clients. There are so many examples of shows that were prematurely canceled but have greater impact and more cult-like fan bases. Rome is still actively talked about and is remembered fondly despite being prematurely canceled. I’d say Rome is far more relevant than Dexter even though Dexter “finished” its story. No one talks about Dexter anymore because the finale sucked. It’s pretty simple.
Ryan Wilson
The only reason why Stannis was derailed so much was for the cancerous dany/jon plot. Stannis gave the dragonglass in the books, Dany is utterly useless without her pets.
David Thompson

Ryan Murphy
I agree with you on pretty much all your points. The problem was that it was all rushed to the extreme. Season 8 should've ended with the destruction of King's Landing. Season 9 should've wrapped everything up, built on the Mad Queen some more with more insanity and barbarity, and Jon plotting/finding a more intricate way to assassinate her, because him killing her in private the way they did it felt rushed and unrealistic. Absolutely keep Drogon getting her body and flying off.
Yes, I agree, I mean they needed Stannis gone to shoehorned Dany in his role doing things HE did. It went to shit I think the moment Catelyn didn't raise as hot zombie Punisher, because it started to fuck up the Starks and gave Arya her arc.
Grayson Cox
People do shitty things for the worst possible reasons. Yes its unforgivable what he did.
You'll see this show will become a perennial. The fact is good stories can be tragedies. Shakepeare blah blah, and we can have a good tragic story in our time. And what a show the players have put on for us.
Cameron Garcia
I saw that live, user. Took me a while to understand that was really happening. One of those kino real life moments.

HBO knew that there was no way they could have given a satisfying or even halfway decent finale unless they got an additional 3-4 seasons. D&D turned down the offer for more seasons because they wanted to work on Star Wars. Not even fucking kidding.

>the other 99 idiots
Call 99% of your fanbase idiots can't be a sound business model, right?
Elijah Campbell
>y-you didn't get your f-feelings hurt by the ending of a mediocre fantasy series so y-your just a mindless consumer! cry more redditranny
Adrian Sanchez
>le subverted expectations are so good man you just didnt like it cause your favourite didnt win brainlet tier defense most just wanted quality but thats too much to ask nowadays
Carson Brooks
I hope they completely fuck up Star Wars even more than it already has been
Connor Collins
You got quality but you're too butthurt to see it. Have sex.
Colton Smith
>Seriously comparing this shit to Shakespeare What the fuck
Wyatt Bailey
it's true though, you're STILL mad as fuck because you got tricked into rooting for Dany That's the root of 95% of all backlash, the embarrassing realization that you are all a bunch of mouthbreathing retards to dumb to follow a fantasy show properly
Nathaniel Ward
>FDR has to hide his handicap or lose confidence >Willas is heir to the reach but a fucked up leg and still isn't betrothed meanwhile Garlan is wed, Margaery is twice wed, Loras had Renly >medieval times are so progressive they elect a cripple most have never heard of, seen, met, who has no money, army, charisma, plan, the right gods, a working cock, age of majority, as king George can go fuck himself
Jordan Howard
I wrote it, I meant it. Its not a mortal sin to compare something to Shakespeare.
Josiah Thompson
proofs?
Dylan Harris
I didn't really start to root for her until episode 5, the show could've had a good ending but nah Disney ending crap with a political solution that's retarded
Benjamin Adams
>It's cold up here for a southern girl >So keep your Queen warm Absolute poetry
Ryan Turner
> a political solution that's retarded Just like many of the retarded resolutions in Shakepeare, see: Merchant of Venice, but the material is still brilliant.
So it's even more D&D's fault than previously thought.
I guess I can understand not wanting one show to consume your life until you're grey and drained of your creative spark. Especially when you hit it big and got all these sweet offers coming in for your dream jobs. But boy did they ever fumble the gamble that they could cut things quick to get away.

Pick any speech from the midget.
Jackson Rivera
Damage control obviously. Why would the original episode count include a delayed final two seasons with an inconsistent number of episodes?
Leo Collins
So if was a nigger doing it or a paki shed be ok with it?
Game of thrones and asoiaf literally sell themselves on realism, historical politics, what makes a good ruler, all that shit, that's the difference.
Levi Phillips
Turbo jews scared of being around goyim scum
Andrew Rodriguez
Dunno. You're just sore because its over.
John Lopez
even in the books dany's story is convoluted mess and it's not yet clear what martin wants to do with her, everyone always knew mad dany was a possibility but people still hoped for something more... satisfying? unobvious? maybe it's just not really that good of a twist? same shit with white walkers/others, everyone thinks that they are part of something bigger but lol no they are just ice zombies and not even final boss lmao
Daniel King
YESSS WE DID IT REDDIT F UK YEAH! FREE FOLK FUCK D&D

Nathaniel Foster
they're called "berniebros" by other libs as an insult that implies they're women-hating chad misogynist socialists, or something. It was invented as a term simply because he was running against Hillary
Gabriel Smith
Well you don't get many historical figures that ride dragons, so as far as realism goes you can't base it on someone real. Perhaps Margaret Thatcher but that's about it.
Jace Thomas
>First she came for the slavers, and I did not speak out, for I was no slaver
They deserve all the hate for what they did to Stannis.
Lincoln Young
yes but part of the reason why asioaf was sucessful especially in the 90s was because it inserted real medieval politics and attitudes in a fantasy setting. The show season 5+ traded the medieval attitudes in fantasy setting to modern 2010 attitudes in a fantasy setting and as a result lost its uniqueness and quality.
Jayden Hall
t. Soi and consumerist worship mob
Chase Carter
people like this really should be put down. their existence is miserable and they make everyone else around them miserable too. it's the humane thing to do.
Grayson Rivera
Why would you speak out for a worker, if you're not one yourself...
See.
Josiah Nguyen
A TV show people have followed for nearly a decade only for it to be rushed because of all the wrong reasons.
Things reflect the time in which they are made. We can't see past democracy just as medieval men could not see past the church.
Josiah Lewis
>Tahoma font
Alexander Murphy
Obviously it has magic and dragons and shit but the dark realism is the selling point it always was, like George shits on lord of the rings and that ending made more sense
Nathan Powell
what did they mean by this
Asher Phillips
It's not just the rush, the ending is trash too. Almost 25 years, for that
Charles Morris
or its being an actual creative who sets out to make quality entertainment not a politically obsessed hack
Ian Green
No, the show is just bad because of a rushed ending and characters that became the antithesis of their own character last minute to twist to a designated ending at break-neck speeds.
Your need to defend the show at all odds is what makes you worse than the "Hurr durr she deserves it for leading blacks" retards.
What else would D&D promote but a version of what we consider today as a reasonably just system of government. Yes there are glaring faults but its better than before, or so we would like to believe. And so that's exactly what the story reflects. What they're going to promote monarchy? That's not classical considering where we as a species are in the stream of time.
Jackson Adams
it's fake retard
Gabriel Clark
Shakespeare was full of church, the politics of the day.
Jacob Reed
except shakespeare not only made quality but also that the ideals he put into his plays were period appropriate and did not clash with his setting.
Liam Thomas
if you think the only modern day element injected into the show was the elective monarchy at the end you are a massive brainlet
Nicholas Reed
shakespeare was more of a tudor propagandist than being interested in religion you historylet
Grayson Kelly
>except Shakespeare...made quality We all say today. There is no question about the popularity of the series. This show will be watched for decades. What... You've never seen Game of thrones, are you retarded or something?
Why would you pay for something you knew was progressively getting worse? Everybody knew it, but still they badwagoned on it The fury is also a bandwagon, and soi / wahmen and other insecure attention seekers are all in on it instead of doing anything reasonable Not everybody fears judgements from their retards, so don’t assume everyone is as stupid as you literal rebbitors are
Noah Russell
>he has no emotions for anything
soulless

Jordan Jenkins
1st Democracy is one of many themes and often the biggest gripe Second there is no question about Christianity just as there is no question about the direction of current world politics. One was bullshit then, one is bullshit now. Both still have value.
You're nitpicking.
James Butler
we'll see, i think zoomers won't care, they'll have something new, and people who cared were all alienated by this shitty ending
Christian Kelly
>why yes, I enjoy David and Dan, how could you tell?
See the history of the Eiffel Tower for comparison.
James Gutierrez
Sometimes life moves faster than we want it to and things do not make perfect sense. If anything D&D improved upon the series by making it more realistic. But that upsets you of course because people like you only consume media as a form of escapism.
