The biggest series on television for the last decade

>completely forgotten, like it never existed, after finishing

Is that why we still have threads about it every day?

>season 4 was good
I wish this meme would end.

Seasons 5-7 were bad, but as fans we rationalized it as "they're rushing to a good conclusion!". Then season 8 happened and we realized it was always shit.

GOT was a big meme. It was all hype, little substance. When it had a low budget, people just liked seeing epic deaths and when that got stale and it didn't know what to do anymore with itself, the budget exploded and had epic dragon scenes. No one will remember for it that story, only that it was really cool to post about on social media at one point.

It mostly was until the end

You knew you were dealing with a low tier person when they talked up the Machiavellian real politik of game of fags

They could just read about napoleon but they wanted dragons and tits and wanted to justify that retard desire by pretending the stories were clever

What part was your favorite? The Craster's keep plot that went nowhere? Theon's rescue mission and shirtless Ramsey? LF having to be saved by Sansa who shouts her identity out to strangers? Vale knights not giving a fuck about a Stark girl and a wanted man at their door and telling them to GTFO? Brienne attacking Hound for no fucking reason? Tyrion going to Tywin's chamber for no fucking reason? Olly? Stannis's rescue of the NW being extremely underplayed and set to ominous music? Jaime raping Cersei? Please. I want to know.

aggghh...

the drop from 4 to 5 was by far the largest in quality dorne is the single worst arc of the whole show bar none

The first half, that was all in the second half

That happens when you treat your audience like retards, spit in their faces and then act all high and mighty about it.

wrong. Game of Thrones will be forever remebered as the greatest series of it's type. It will be studied 100 years from now at the capeshit faculty at Ocasio Cortez university because there will never be anything like it again. The new Wheel of Time and LoTr shows will be full of shit and diversity with immersion-breaking goblinas running around medieval castles speeking in American accents and it will just get worse and worse after that.

The moment they sent away the blond gay twink the show went to shit.

It became the opposite of everything that made it good.

They fucked up so bad the show runners refuse to show their face or even talk about it.

they are signed to do the new star wars trilogy

You know that meme about how, it’s the friends we made along the way that was important? Yeah that’s this show. The show was a shitfest, but it was fun creating cool theories that were better than the actual series.

It died with Tywin at the end of S4 really, S5 had:
>The Sand Snakes
>Stannis' going from loving father to burning his daughter alive in about 60 minutes
>Barristan 'AAAH HELP ME GREYWORM' Selmy's embarrassing death
>Ramsey 'Twenty Good Men®' Bolton going full-anime and destroying Stannis' camp without breaking a sweat
>The start of the forced Missandei/Greyworm romance
>Myrcella being overjoyed that her mother and father are twins and then conveniently dying as an EPIC TWIST
>All of Arya's filler bullshit in Braavos
I'm sure there was more but man that season was an absolute nosedive.

this is a sad cope just admit the show was trash

I still miss /got/.

The way I see it, D&D murdered 90% of the prospective prequels when they had Arya kill the NK because Jon doing it would be too "obvious". House Targaryen's entire agency and purpose gone in a blink. Well done.

Literally every house except the Starks is irrelevant in show canon. Kinda weird considering the author's fondness for the Targs

What's weird is that the show didn't really even emphasize the Starks that much. From season 2 to season 7, the main focused seemed to be the Lannisters.

>fondness for the Targs
Based on what? Writing about how terrible they were? How shit a lot of their lives were? How incompetent, cruel, lustful?

By writing like 10 supplementary Targ books instead of his main series.

>omg they have character flaws they bad

Bet you'd find a lot of controversial figures in a Stark history book too. Didn't they --along with the Boltons-- rape an entire chain of islands into submission for example? Ned's dad conspired to overthrow Aerys to sate his own ambitiousness. Current generation are scumbags who "succeeded" by virtue of lies and deceit (plus ridiculous plot armor).

Because that's world building. Following any other house would give a more limited perspective of the kingdoms and the history, especially from a Maester's perspective and writing

No other House is as flawed or fucked up as the Targaryens. They're George's punching bag and ideal terrible House. Couldn't even rule for 300 years without losing it all

Completely forgotten.

Starts thread about it.

Such a great ending for people like me who never gave a fuck about the Starks.

All my favorite characters die in order to achieve some tropey, Disneyesque ending. Some of my favorite houses have had redemption arcs teased for thirty years only for it to mean nothing in the end, the others were fucked by D&D's writing (or didn't even get to make an appearance at all).

But yaaaay, Stark hegemony :)))

Can't believe I wasted years on this crap.

> people like me who don't give a fuck about the main characters of the show but the supporting characters

kill yourself

It's not hard to figure out. They murdered the series. Took a couple seasons to do it, but they butchered it.

>What's weird is that the show didn't really even emphasize the Starks that much. From season 2 to season 7, the main focused seemed to be the Lannisters.

The show runners had a hard on for the actors that played the Lannisters. Mainly Peter Dinklage and Lena Headly. So much so it they ruined the show by refusing to let them die or develop as characters.

why didnt dany burn?
wasnt jon a true dragon too?

They didn’t seem anymore odd than anyone else tho besides incest which you know, is not exclusive to fiction really. Hell one of the thoughts that was brought up at one point, was like yeah, maybe they are just like the rest of Westeros after all, albeit with dragons. Men. I mean barely anyone can seem to hold the throne for most of the seasons and everyone is killing each other over it all the same while Dany is chilling out across the sea and Jon is chilling at the Wall, so it’s not like anything new was taking place.

300 year dynasty for a single family is pretty fucking long. It's much longer than most of the European dynasties much of ASOIAF is loosely based off of.

Daenerys seemed like a pretty major character to me. She's on of GRRM's big five IIRC. Guess I was wrong. Certainly seems like it. Here I was, expecting some epic metamorphoses into an Augustus-esque tyrant and then she got stabbed by Jon the Lackwit because of muh Geneva conventions. Alexander burned cities to the ground, sold people into slavery and systematically exterminated the entire male population of Gaza and he's hailed as one of the greatest kings the world gas ever seen

Dany should have stayed in Essos and given Jorah some love.

Why u so mad tho?

I just downloaded breaking bad.....

Don't ever put BB and GoT in the same sentence you moron.

>I hate breaking bad because I'm a bitter contrarian who wants attention so I'll make a false equivalence to this other shitty show and say they're both forgotten even though breaking bad ended years ago and the movie is trending

Idiots gave 6 and 7 more credit than it deserved because they were thinking that all the corner-cutting was so they could focus on more important parts of the story for the conclusion.

Once it became apparent that they had fucked everything up completely, the rage set in.

She shouldn't have to fuck him if she doesn't want to, he's a pedo and he lied to her

No House as many insane, incompetent, cruel, useless members and still can't rule like the Targaryens do. Name a genuinely crazy/zealot Lannister, Stark, Arryn, etc. on Aerys' level, or Maegor, or Baelor, etc. and a house famed for craziness who've fucked up and killed each other or gotten themselves killed to near extinction several times

Starks rule a land almost as large as the South for 8,000 years, several of the Great Houses have ruled for thousands of years and House stark now rules everything

You already saw it in the show. As soon as the other houses got a taste of the throne life, they started murdering the shit out of everybody. Stannis kills his own brother, (who was probably also gonna kill him too) over it with voodoo shit and his daughter ends up burned in a sacrifice thanks to his shady Red Witch girlfriend. This all takes place like in matter of years let alone hundreds.

Videos complaining about its shit ending still get a ton of views.
People simply don't have anything good to say.

>No House as many insane, incompetent, cruel, useless members and still can't rule like the Targaryens do.

It's hard to say because we don't know as much about the other Houses as we do the Targaryens but we know of Starks who burned their entire navel fleet because his dad died on a boat. We have a Stark who married an Other and turned the Night's Watch into their own personal army. There's a number of tales of House Stark almost dying out because of their own stupidity.

Tywins dad was so incompetent he almost lost everything. Twyin himself basically destroyed his own house because of how he ruled and treated his family. Cersei is going insane before our eyes.

Nobody is perfect in ASOIAF, everyone is a fuck up.

Reminder that George considers it a pity Alexander didn't live to make his deal with Persia permanent and twice a pity that his successors broke up his empire because his was better than the squabbling and separate nations that existed before and after. Yet Dany is evil and the kingdoms should just vote Starks to the throne because they're so special

Why did D&D hate the source material so much?

The show is dumb as fuck. Jon Connington regretted not burning the village when the bells rang for Stark's arrival. Dany won't repeat the mistake.

>This all takes place like in matter of years let alone hundreds
And yet only now are some of these houses going extinct or fucking up badly enough to be and even then they have better cause. Joffrey is a bastard and Stannis is righteous, Renly would he a usurper and kinslayer himself. None of them to the level of Aerysz Maegor or Dance of Dragons level conflict

Bran the Burner burned ships, not people and House Stark continued ruling for thousands of years. Night's King is a legend and only possibly a Stark and even then was part of the watch so he gave up the name.

Tywin's dad was weak but the house had plenty of members and not at threat of going extinct or dying and continued on after him just fine and was also fine before him for thousands of years and even now still Lannisters of Lannisport and Tyrion alive.

House Stark isn't a house fuck up as evidenced by the end and everyone recognizing them as fit to lead and willing to fight and die of their own volition for them, making them right

I don't want to remember

It is an extremely random thing for Dany to get triggered over.

>And yet only now are some of these houses going extinct or fucking up badly enough to be and even then they have better cause.

We are seeing the extinction of multiple Houses though. We should applaud them because they lasted 15 years longer than the Targs? All the major Houses are pretty fucked right now.

Tyrell and Baratheon weren't even major houses or even houses at all before the Targs came around.

House Stark didnt fuck up? In the books House Stark holds no power right now. All of their male heirs are dead. Nobody would fight for them in the show. They fought for Jon and Littlefinger lol.

>And yet only now
Well it's also only now that they tried to seize the IT for themselves once Robert's looooong and prosperous reign ended. So really the whole thing says less about House Targaryen and speaks more to the nature of Westeros, in general, with regards to the IT.

>None of them to the level of Aerysz Maegor or Dance of Dragons level conflict
Oh please, killing your brother and planning to kill others with black magic is fucked up in and of itself. If Stannis and Renly had dragons, they'd have surely tried to kill each other in the skies with them. Or any other House for that matter. Seeing as how Arya sadistically cooked people into pies out of revenge, give her a dragon and her enemies would all be BBQ in a hurry.

The Lannister kings of old were infamous for their feebleness and cruelty. It's mentioned in the books. Tywin's line inherited the castle because his great-grandfather murdered his infant niece. Besides, Joffrey, Cersei and even Tyrion are batshit insane.

As for the Starks, they're pretty infamous for this:

>According to chronicles written by Sistermen and men of the Vale of Arryn, the northmen committed numerous atrocities. Supposedly, they killed children and cooked them in pots, disemboweled men and wound their entrails around spits, executed three thousand warriors in a single day at the Headman's Mount, and Lord Belthasar Bolton made a "Pink Pavilion" out of the flayed skins of a hundred Sistermen.

They also conquered the north through war and terror, can't imagine it was very pretty.

The Arryns had a member who watched her entire family (including her own children) be butchered before her eyes without even so much as shedding a tear.

I'm pretty sure we'll get a Targ baby in the books if they ever come out. Not saying he/she will hold any relevant power (Dragonstone tops), but there's been too much foreshadowing and hints.

>they lasted 15 years longer than the Targs?
And thousands before. Only extinct houses are tyrells and Martells which won't be the case in the books since Doran has a cousin named Martell and Tyrells are too numerous to kill without wiping out several other powerful families and Houses. Only one dead permanently are Targaryens

Baratheons married the last King's daughter and took the sigil andvwords, Tyrells ruled as regent and married Gardener like a dozen times and as stewards practically were rulers, much higher than house Poole for example.

Bran and Rickon are alive and matrilineal marriage is a thing in Westeros and there's literally a Northern conspiracy to sit Rickon and mountain clans fighting for "Arya" and houses in the Vale that wanted to help Robb and Blackfish who still considers House Stark their king

it was talked so much when it ended so there's nothing else to talk about anymore

Brings up the fact that Doran's line is dead and the Targaryens are extinct, mentions the possibility of Rickon marrying straight after. Confirmation bias much?

Arianne is alive and so is Trystane. Daenerys is alive and so is Jon. No one knows whether or not they're having a child in the books, I'm leaning towards yes.

>And thousands before.

The the Targaryens were Dragon Lords for thousand of years in the greatest empire the world had ever seen. What does it matter.

And yeah Stark might and probably will bounce back but you can't ignore they fucked up pretty fucking hard. They're basically the at the same point the Targs are now. Fighting to get their home back.

the noose has the answer to all of your problems

>IT
So only the throne the Targaryens made is bad but the thrones every other house has in their kingdoms are fine and rightfully theirs?

If they had dragons sure they'd fight but Stannis would clearly be in the right. George himself says Stannis is a righteous man

Cerelle being killed is rumor and nowhere to the level of the Targaryens.

Starks did shit but it's "hard men for a hard time" and no one takes issue with them now and indeed love them, except the murderous, flaying, woman hunting, rapist bestiality enthusiasts boltons. Starks are all good now or not rebuked for what their ancestor or grandfather or father did wrong. Inb4 muh Dustin, she's gonna fight for the Starks and you know it

Seems like they're only getting it back for plot reasons too. Intelligent woman with three dragons, ten thousand elite soldiers and a dothraki horde can't conquer Westeros but a couple of homeless kids from a largely irrelevant kingdom whose army has been at war for years can? Fucking hell, reality was literally warped to make those idiots "win". Pray most of it came from D&D or GRRM's reputation will be ruined forever. Bran being some evil puppet king I can live with even though it's stupid as hell, the rest is just utterly ridiculous.

They made Yass Queen a bad guy so everyone hates it now.

You could always go back to r**dit, considering your awful general came from there in the first place.

shit ending

Wrong, everyone hates it since episode 3

I'm sure the pious southerners love the northern heathens who's instigated two major wars in the span of fifteen years because of their idiocy.

They decided to drop the original fanbase and went for the quick, trashy appeal to the legions of retarded social media normalfags. As soon as it ended and they couldn't post #got reaction selfy garbage at the Burligton Bar they instantly dropped and forgot it even existed. Everyone else lost faith in the series completely in S4.

>Rickon marrying straight after. Confirmation bias much?
Rickon isn't a woman retard, matrilineal means Sansa having a kid. Jon and Dany aren't having a kid, accept it as I have

One of 20 other families and nowhere near the top. Starks "fucked" up because other people were evil or dishonorable not because they themselves are bad

it's this generation's LOST

That is one of the reasons I don't like it yes

You don't know that. A child wouldn't have been possible in the show because of

A) Timeframe. A couple of months between 7x7 and 8x6.

B) GA's problems with avunculate relationships and incest in general. Unable to suspend their disbelief.

Either way I don't give a shit, I'm done with the series altogether.

When did DnD realize they were going to make Dany evil?

I think it was a good plan but it feels like they only realized it while writing the seventh season and because of that it comes off half baked.

Normalfags lose interest in all of their 'passions' the moment they are no longer hip and trendy.

Probably between seasons considering Emilia and Kit were flabbergasted when they found out

They had the outline for the ending since 2013

I simply don't believe that

This.

>When did DnD realize they were going to make Dany evil?

They said they had known for years. But they decided not to tell anyone, not even the actors until the final season.

I mean it would have been a good plan if she actually came out on top. Instead they went for the pro-Stark fairytale ending. So much for realism and subversion of tropes.

George wants Starks on top and to say Targaryens were wrong, that is why Dany goes nuts and will kill fAegon and why Jon has to kill her and go into exile, their bloody history, madness and obsession must and will come to an end along with the throne and system they created to give rise to one formed by George's self admitted favorite house the Starks

This. And now the prequel is going to be a rehash all over again of the shitty white walkers.

They admitted as much in an interview from back then that they met George at a hotel and over a couple days they went through each of the characters, where they were going, how it would end,where they would end, etc. Meeting happened sometime between season 3 and 4

To be fair, they did kinda suffer from the same problem of having a few amazing early seasons before doing a total 180 and turning into complete shit really fast.

Books aren't even out yet and I've never seen George mentioning the Starks being his favorite house.

Besides -- objectively -- it's a lousy ending. That's why the backlash was so massive. Riddled with hypocrisy, inconsistencies and numerous fallacies. The notion of the Starks coming out on top by virtue of genetic determinism is also ridiculous.

Bran is only a greenseer because of the Blackwood/Stark blood.

Sansa is only relevant because of who her daddy was. Utter moron who gets everything handed to her.

Arya is a deranged psycho.

This, and that kinda applies to book 1-3 as well. The fun part was the details of feodal life, the rest is kind of mediocre. Start that show at season 4/book 4 and hell, it might have been canceled.

>How
It's just how it is these days. It's all so story based. Not much rewatch value. And because of internet people will be hyping the next show the minute one ends.

Fair my ass, BB was great to the very end.

It was "good" (at least in the beginning), but it wasn't paradigm changing. Once it ends, you're left with nothing but post-modernism, you don't learn anything about yourself. It was just entertainment, like a boxing show.

It's from a chat interview with Empire, transcript is unavailable but hypable.com has some of it. His reasoning is "After all, it all began with the Starks." George is a Starkfag

It's a lousy ending I agree, but it's George's and it's been coming since 1991

Twenty Good Men is the moment I gave up on the series. From then on, I was hatewatching and to shitpost. I still can't believe what the FUCK they were thinking.

Great tales not only tell the tale they’re supposed to narrate, they also tell messages. Those are the tales that matter, those that keep with you.
What the fuck could asoiaf ever tell? It’s merely a subversion of a genre for the sake of it.

Always knew this series would be overhyped trash. Glad to know I was right and didn't sink all my time into it like the /got/ fags.

Purple Wedding was actually pretty well done and one of my favorite episodes of the series.

S4 was the start of the decline tho due to all of what you said

S4E6 was the last great episode. It was all downhill from there.

Seeing as House Stark is gonna unanimously be elected to rule over everyone, yes, yes they do

Doubtful. Sansa stole Arianne's arc in the show and Bran won't represent House Stark if he becomes king.

This is actually quite impressive. At most we had Herr Kelly C posting for a month but we dont ever see the discussion of the actual show like we see for Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Ternobyl, Mad Men, etc..

This.

It also left no one wondering what happened next. We don't care what Arya might find, or where Drogon went, or how soon the Six Kingdoms will balkanize.

BB was absolute dogshit the moment they introduced the nazis

And? According to show canon he's an elective monarch, his family is largely irrelevant. He can be removed at any given time.

The ending was weird. So, Bran, huh?

He won't be removed and you know it. Starks will rule for generations to come, George will go full Hapsburg by having Bran's nephew or niece get "elected" next. Oh and Arianne is gonna die by dragonfire alongside fAegon so doubt the secession is from her arc and not George just playing favorites with the Starks

Nazis were good

It's almost as if it was just a NPC fad with no intrinsic value all along

People really underestimate how badly received the last season was. I hooked up with a dumb club thot last weekend (yes, I >had sex), and I was talking to her and her friends about GoT, and they all said the last season was awful and made no sense. This is 18-24 basic bitch club thots. Literally GoT’s money demographic. Even they had the wherewithal to understand that it was complete shit. D&D honestly may have dropped the ball harder than anyone in entertainment history.
