You know what's funny? The showrunners ditched GOT and sabotaged the show because they thought they were moving on to greener pastures with the Star Wars series. But because of their poor handling of the GOT finale, they got kicked off the Star Wars project. Now they're broke and jobless.

The grass ain't always greener on the other side.

I donated mine to a local reading program. fµck D&D and most of all, fµck that garden gnome GRRM.

Seriously *sigh* at least got me a few $,for the drinks uknow ,just kept my Drogon/Dany funko cause was the first sh!t I bought.

How can u hurt and disappoint so many people tho, D&D probably own that Guinness record.

That should’ve been the only time Drogon breathed fire in King’s Landing. Right in her face.

According to the original script or whatever, Cersei was supposed to be set on fire, but D&D changed it last minute for some reason ugh

b!tch shut up!! I was one of the ones who didn’t reeeeally care about the ending (which is bad as an audience) but she know damn well it could have been much better. I wish some of the actors would stop trying to gaslight and place the blame on us for not liking it and being pissed.

She should be mad. Her ass couldn’t tell a fortune from a fµck!ng cookie. Every prediction she made was a damn flop. Kinvara had better predictions.

And fµck her again, she should be mad along with anyone who worked on the show, behind the scenes, in marketing, in merchandising and hbo. They messed a couple billion in future projects, merchandise,conventions, reboots, spend offs, books, theme parks and anything else other fantasy stories have like lord of the rings, sailor moon, Harry Potter , Star Wars , Disney, etc have

They ruined that sh!t on purpose because they were tired of doing it and wanted to make fans so sick they wouldn't want more. No one will convince me differently.

I think the same but I don’t understand why. They could hired writers, took the credit and still did their other project

Had a whole network of spies but somehow didn’t know see Euron coming or that he and Cersei had allied . Hmmm...

AND that “whole serving the realm” motivation that the show gave him is complete BS ! The writers made him contradicted himself . You want Jon to be on the throne and yet YOU said yourself that if “Dany and Jon wed she would just bend him to her will”. So it makes sense for you to put a weak willed leader on the throne ?! How does that serve the realm?

Now , we can guess that maybe he wanted a leader that was capable(w training) but can also be easily controlled but then why not get Cersei bumped off and mentor Tommen ? Not to mention , he supported the Mad King all the way up until the very end knowing how insane this man was . Was that protecting the innocent ?

Vary’s, to me , was always self serving . In the books he doesn’t support Dany at all , he supports Aegon , Dany’s & Viserys alleged brother . When the show cut that storyline out , it changed Varys entire character .

*nephew

They just can't admit they fµcked up, lol. The writers rushed the ending to the show, GRRM didn't give a single solitary fµck, and to make matters worse, the writers screwed it up only to start working on other projects that folks either didn't give a sh!t about or whose concepts were outright hated. Hate to see it.

And they lost every project the left for except one with Netflix that isn’t that big

"So it feels a bit ungrateful," the actress said. "You've had such great times and then yeah, you're going to be disappointed because it's not going to go exactly how you anticipated."

"That's beyond fandom. That's extremism. That's scary," van Houten said. "Knowing the writers and knowing how f---ing great they are, they don't deserve that. I think they are probably cool enough to deal with that but still, they are human beings, they are trying to make a good product."

STFU and be grateful for the audience and fans because without them you are nothing. The writers/ producers put you on, but the fans will determine whether you stay there, irrelevant of your talent and/or beauty as comments like these show you to be entitled and out of touch. The last 2 seasons were bad and that was the fault of the writers, don't blame the fans for reacting to that. You can be loyal to the execs who were supportive of you without being scornful of the audience.. but yeah I don't like you

Edit: Whist I was composing my dissertation sockruhtese above was putting down what I was picking up much more succinctly than I

I will never forget the actor who plays Lord Varys' reaction to the script:

He threw it in disgust! What they did to his character was bµllsh!t! He's been outspoken on how sh!t it all was

I never saw this before and I Stan even harder for Varys. He was fed the fµck up, in that last gif he look like me everytime we have a meeting at work.

Where is @TheRedWoman to skeptical everyone in every GOT related thread? I ain't seen her ass in a minute.

Anyway as for Melisandre girl shut up and cuddle up in quarantine with your fine ass husband (she's married to Guy Pearce). You know that last season was sh!t on a shingle, just because your caracter turned to kitty litter before it got bad. b!tch we ain't write them trash as scripts or rush that final season. I hope she gets booed at every convention she show up at from now on.

Thought about watching the show again during the quarantine because I kinda forgot :sneaky: how bad the ending was.

I’m glad she reminded me not to waste my time watching that mess again.

Girl sit your ass down. You should want us to forget that HORRIBLE season. Just because you got a little bit more screen time and lit up the torches for us...

Remember when D&D were producing that show “Confederate”? Lol The backlash was insane! Even whites didn’t want to watch a show with an alternate ending to the civil war!

Did they get dropped from Star Wars or did they “exit” their contract willing due to conflict of interest with Netflix (says Wikipedia)?

I'm sure there's some kind of 'official story', but we all know the truth.

How convenient that there was a sudden and unforeseen conflict of interest (even though their contracts had been drawn up by skilled professionals well in advance and all parties involved had competent entertainment lawyers representing them with full knowledge of upcoming projects and possible mergers) riiiiiight in the middle of severe backlash from GOT fans and actors alike.

Sure, Jan for real.

I'm still so bitter. The show had gone to sh!t around season five but I would've forgiven most of the uselessness of seasons 5-7 if they'd brought things home well in season 8. But no. They just had to fµck it up and make the entire show largely un-rewatchable for most sane people. I can't even stand to see clips of it anymore lmao.

The show started to go downhill once they started running out of original content. I blame the author for not finishing the books :atwitsend

Like others, I'm not even interested in rewatching.

Dany spent 7 seasons saving innocent ppl and suddenly she’s burning a city down?


The books did a better job at Daenerys enforcing her more ruthless side. Daenerys had a very conflicting idea of what was good/bad, innocent/not innocent. Daenerys was always written as tragic and problematic. She was really no different than the others vying for power, but Daenerys had serious weapons of mass destruction(dragons) and two huge army's. That was always going to be a problem. GRRM has always said as much.

Him,Peter and Emilia were the only ones who were open about how disappointing this season was at this point the cast could have written a better ending than dumb and dumber

Jesus...don’t remind me how dark the lighting was in the last couple seasons were. Can you imagine if they had black characters? Whew! Talk about an invisibility cloak!
I had to watch the show in my room, in the dark, with black out curtains...under my blanket...in order to see what dark figures were moving around on my screen.

Such a big budget but no one could turn on the damn lights!!
The walkers wouldn’t even know what hit them sneak attack that’s the best battle plan Lol

This. I haven’t even been interested in a rewatch and I’ve just about rewatched all of the major HBO shows during this quarantine. I’m not sure why they don’t realize with a show like that fans are always watching to get to the end because it’s the GAME of thrones. It would have been better to have a mediocre season in the middle of the series than to have a terrible last season of the show.
It’s virtually unrewatchable

D and d where shaky writers at best even in season 2-5 people kept finding issues with the weird portrayal of women,poc and xesual violence And loose plot lines like dorms. I think of there was a team of diverse talented writers it could have been great d and have always been kinda mediocre

  • The Night King gets run up and done up by little Arya?
It's funny because I rewatched the Lord of the Rings trilogy last week and I'm reminded that Arya has similarities to Frodo and I know GRRM was inspired by Tolkien.

I heard once in another book by GRRM the one who "saves the world" is another little girl. It might be A Song for Lya.

I think that was intentional but they could have done her training better.

Seeing how rude the cast is make me regret ever supporting the show to be honest
The kid who played bran called the petition ridiculous instead of saying sorry but that’s not possible nicely I think they wanted to move on and forget this never happened but the fans are dragging d and d left right and centre rightly

Sending death threats to actors who are simply playing a character is extreme y’all , lets not debate that !

HOWEVER , the show started going downhill in quality starting in season 5. A lot of the writing didn’t make any sense . Honestly , from the beginning I don’t think D&D understood the characters or there motivations so when the show passed the books , the characters were written OUT of character .

They ruined ALOT of character arcs and the biggest one is even Dany but Littlefinger !! They made him act COMPLETELY out of character and dumbed him down .
Jon and Tyrion seemed to suffer short term memory loss because neither could make a decent choice and dialogue was recycled

I’m also convinced in the year off they weren’t working in game of thrones rather Star Wars or some other side project this felt like an after thought
