That moment when the dragon sees it's dead mother and the man that killed her but poignantly understands that the throne was the catalyst behind the thirst for power which drove the destiny of it's characters in the most profound manner ROAR
RandomTipsyLemon hellll no lol there’s so much shit they could’ve adapted into the show that would’ve given them exponentially more nuance then what they had in season 8. Young griff and the Blackfyres are cut out entirely, lady stone heart is cut, pretty much everything about Eurons entire character is cut out, Victorian isn’t even in the fucking show which sucks, the entirety of Sansas storyline in feast for crows is cut out in order to remarry her to Ramsey so she can be raped. There’s so much shit that they left out of the show that would’ve not only given them nuance but it also would’ve just made the show longer giving George an opportunity to actually finish the books or at least give them more detailed outlines of what to do with the later seasons. Instead they rushed past pretty much all of feast for crows and Dance of Dragons.
@@sergiomendoza4040 exactly I hated that they omitted storylines from a AFFC and ADWD, if they didn't want to do the amount of seasons needed to fully adapt the books then they shouldn't have been given this project (GRRM knew they didn't want as many seasons as he thought they needed so he shouldn't have given it to them) or they should've handed it to someone else who still had passion for the story.
I'm assuming that it will be an entire novel for the Whyte story line to wrap up and an entire book for the Dany v Cersei to wrap up. And like huge 1000+ books for both. So the books seem like they are on the right track in terms of pacing and being more consistent. Edit. I'm sure he's fretting quite a bit over wrapping up in 2 novels time. He may have to cut books in half again. Did that work for the last two novels? Yes and no.
@@igiveyouthefacts I'm assuming they were following the way things happen in the unwritten books. Winds of winter is likely the big showdown with the White walkers and a dream of spring is likely the showdown with Cersei. GRRM got the idea from lord of the rings. The issue though, is that they compressed both of these plots into the last two seasons but gave too much weight to the whites and didn't have enough time to flesh out the battle for Kings Landing.
@@Katzenkaiser4 yup. I told everyone who would listen that it was the best television show ever made... and it wasn't even close. That was somewhere in season 5....ha.

If you think about it, this show ended in the most Game of Thrones way possible. But instead of killing off a bunch of well loved characters it killed off the whole fanbase.
@curio honestly, I have rewatched it a few times and I just skipped the last 2 seasons no problem. The shittiness of Seasons 7 and 8 don't diminish the incredible things from the first 6 seasons for me
I still think Disney coming to Benioff and Weiss and pitching them the Star Wars trilogy was what started it. Disney execs wanted Game of Thrones to be toast, and what better way then to manipulate the creators into fucking it over.
She might have vaguely heard about the Iron Fleet when the Sand Snakes and Yara were captured by them. She very likely did not know that upgraded, more advanced versions of the Scorpion anti-Dragon ballistae were installed on the ships of Euron's fleet. The harsh consequences of not having good intel. Perhaps Bran has only so much synaptic bandwidth and didn't have time to review those time files, particularly since he was preoccupied with events in Winterfell.
A K this would be true, except for the fact that the master of whispers TOLD her about it, and her advisors even convinced her to not launch a preemptive attack against the fleet, it’s just awful writing by D&D
What's awful is that everything else this season was amazing. The writing was the only aspect that was a disappointment. The acting, music, cinematography, visuals and action were all incredible, arguably the best of all the seasons. If it weren't for the bullshit writing this season would have been the best of them all, the velocity would have surpassed everything else in TV history.
What was the point of R+L=J? That was the center of a main plot and he ends up back in the stupid North? He didn’t even get to kill the Knight King and return to the North. What was the point of Bran (Until we could flashback and see Jon’s parentage), his story is the WORST. Jon AND Sam have better stories than Bran, and everyone else actually. Damn, Davos has a better story.
So apparently, they should have ended the series at episode 3 of Season 8, in order to preserve the importance and centrality of the Night King to the story? That would have solved that problem, right?
@@stephaniefromvirginia8744 What was the point of the Golden Company? All the gold looted from High Garden was used to pay for them. Now there's an investment that went up in smoke.
D&D: We thought we were writing Harry Potter and a good plot didn’t matter. Imagine our surprise in Season Eight when we finally realized we were writing Game of Thrones. It was like, Hey wait, Game of What?
I really like that fact They ruined perphaps the biggest, most viewed, fantasy show on tv to make Star wars movies only to do nothing in the end and abandoning starwars lol
tbh Star Wars sequels are just as much fucked up. Its poetic like how two different culturer phenomenon got fucked up on a huge scale due to its bad writing.
@@sevgar5128they didn’t abandon it they got told basically to fuck off after they gave us what they did with GOT. That’s what I’ve interpreted at least
In 36 years I have NEVER seen something that was such a phenomenon, leave the public zeitgeist so quickly. This is a show that took over media around the world and yet here we are, barely a year later, and it’s almost never mentioned anymore. It goes to show how a messed up ending can completely ruin a piece of works legacy.
DarksUper3DgeLord Toufiq not at all. Even with the ending, seasons 1-6 were so well done the show remains one of the best shows of all time. People who think otherwise, or were that disappointed by the ending, never understood the show in the first place. And your comment confirms you are one of those people. If you really understood the show, you wouldn’t say, “cringey af”.
@@jking4973 imagine if they ended breaking bad by curing Walter whites cancer, having his family all love him and go and live together in a massive mansion and its all fine. That's how badly they ended game of thrones, you may disagree but that's my opinion. If you enjoyed the ending then fair play to you 👏
why did yara laugh at sam for suggesting that the king should be chosen by the people....when the ironborn chose their leaders exactly like that.......why did she agree to listen to tyrion , the one who betrayed danerys.....when she was still loyal to danerys??? why did dorn...the only kingdom that didn't suffer from any big casualties...that probably have the biggest and most well rested army and have the most supplies.....agree to be ruled by some kid in a wheelchair??....their ansector looked at a dragon in the eyes and refused to submit why are all the other kingdoms just chill with the north being independent?? the greyjoys had a whole rebellion to be free of the seven kingdom rule but now they're ok with being ruled by some cripple kid they don't know ?? why the fuck did greyworm not kill the one who killed his queen on the spot....but butchered some lannisters soldiers instantly?? nothing make sense and it was only one scene lmao
@@slyceth You mean the scene when the mountain make the head of the Viper explode?? This was the best scene ever aired on TV's. Grow up, it was never meant to be a show for little children.
That right there is why I think the whole ending leans way, WAY too hard on the 'bitter' part of bittersweet. Other than minor characters like Bronn or Podrick, the only endings that appear mostly happy are those of the Starks, and specifically Arya and Sansa. But Arya is leaving her family again even though that was the WHOLE point of her storyline in Braavos ("A girl is Arya Stark of Winterfell, and I'm going home"). And Sansa is Queen in the North (which I'll be honest is the only part of the finale that didn't totally piss me off), but she's ruling alone. There are **ZERO** other named characters in the shot with her. Not even Brienne, who was *sworn to Sansa by Catelyn*. But no, she's at the Small Council, I guess because the optics of an all-male council after Cersei and Dany both got the Mad Queen treatment would be bad.
Not trying to defend the show (specially as a book reader and Dorne fan), but you've cut the beginning and it IS important. "When winter comes and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives." Winter came and apparently (for the show?) went away, and during this event, the pack was together. After that, it wasn't much needed anymore. However, not even going on about how Winter should last years and years (because there is this doubt about winter - "does winter bring the white walkers, or do they make winter come?"), but there is a lot of symbolism in ASOIAF/GOT about characters and their house sigils. Much like a wolf, Ned Stark was loyal to the only woman he had in his life officially, but the loyalty to his own blood made him lie about it and keep this secret for the rest of his life. Much like wolves, the Starks work better when they're together and in the North, their home. When they get separated, even though it's not Winter yet, things go terribly wrong. If they had stayed in the North together and Ned refused being Hand, none of them would have to die. In fact, the North would have Ned, Robb etc to lead them to the war against the White Walkers. Separating the pack after they tried to hard to go back home and stick together just seems.... wrong. Arya fought so hard to go back to her home, but she just leaves and promises to not come back. Bran isn't even Bran anymore, the little kid who constantly defied rules just to try and see his home and his father again in visions - nothing. Jon - yeah, he was never really a Stark, but Winterfell was his home and he was so ready to break his vows and fight besides Robb for it. He had the North AND the Stark blood in him, but I guess he had no choice over his own ending bc the show didn't know what to do with him after shitting on the idea of him being a protagonist because fuck logic, we want to subvert expectations!!! Sansa is the only one who actually stood by the North and her home, and being honest - she never even liked it as a kid. She was never too close to her brothers anyways. She was constantly shown as more of a trout than a wolf, and Lady dying so early set the tone for it, but I can kinda accept the show's choices since they gave her Jeyne Poole's arc. Idk man, this whole symbolism just got thrown in the dumpster and it makes me sad too.
@@biffyguybiffy6292 Yeah but there's still adding all of the clips in, and even the leaks I saw weren't exactly enough for him to talk about every character's end.
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.
oh and he went back to a wall that was there to prevent the walkers from going south, now that there's no more walkers wtf do they need the wall or people to watch it?? it has a massive hole in it and it was created with magic, so they couldn't make it again and why would they if there's no more zombie?? all the wildlong were already south. nothing makes sense nothingggg
Absolutely, at least have him lead the white walkers like Aragorn did for the dead and then have them battle it put with Daenarys and the dragons. Then it would be a TRUE song of ice and fire.
@@JoeyAGamer Dany was a main character but she was too afraid to be honest. You can check her interview, the way she said "Best season ever" proves she was afraid. I appreciate Kit for his honesty.
Tara Jones leading up to season 7 I remember almost every cast member was saying best season to date. Not One cast member said this about s8 except Emilia in a sarcastic way.
@@jjgen736 I think she was speaking from the viewpoint of her character. Same with the other actors who said it was disappointing. I could be wrong but actors don't usually shit talk things they're in. It's just bad business ethics, especially before something is released
This show used to be referenced CONSTANTLY, it was almost as quotable as Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. Now nobody references it anymore. You’d think if the show ended on good or at least decent terms, people would still reference and joke about it. Literally the only time you hear people talking about Game of Thrones now is when they’re talking about how badly the ending of that show was fucked up
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.
Can confirm... I was ok with the battle; except arya killing the night king when that was JOHN'S story. But killing the dragon out of NOWHERE? Now jamie? And now missandei. I just cannot. When they cut the scene right before Bran tells arya and sansa about Jon... This is the hottest pile of fucking garbage I've seen and I regret rewatching the show. Its just shit scene after shit scene, after shit scene. There's no moment of sweetness, satisfaction. If you're thinking of rewatching it... don't.
D&D didn't make the series "jump the shark", because that phrase implies pushing an established plot structure too far. They simply didn't give a fuck, They ignored established plot structures (or didn't understand them), and so blithely wiped out seasons-long arches, as well as all seven seasons of previous, detailed plot development. They weren't interested, and and they didn't even bother pretending they were. It's still *so* frustrating. It feels like spending seven years investing in a special, beloved pet project, then at the last minute having some disinterested expert come in, take control, drop a massive, steaming dump on it, and walk away.
Instead of Danny "kinda forgetting" the fleet they should have killed the dragon in the attack on Kings Landing, the literal next episode, and use it as a catalyst to her destroying the city. It's such a simple fix it's crazy no one thought about it.
Even with the story they went with, all they had to do was put the ships there in the open. Dany sees them and flies in to torch them (because that was the plan all along) and once she is close they uncover the weapons that were hidden and shot the dragon down.
Kishibe Rohan they should have had the bells ring then Cersei blow up wildfire in the city killing Missandei and a hidden ballista kills rhaegal. But even then I only see her burning the RK.
Cerseis death was the biggest L of the whole thing. Ruined multiple arch’s all in one unsatisfying roof collapse… the least dramatic d***th in television history
For me as a new watcher this is the complaint that didn’t bother me that much. The entire show we see the most beloved characters get executed in the most excruciating way possible, so I thought it was a nice touch that the most despicable character of all is the only one that gets a quick painless death in the arms of someone they love
I just finished watching it for the first time and I could’ve sworn I seen a comment before I watched the finale saying Cersei was gonna be killed by Jaime 😅 That would’ve been interesting
@mrblue___ that comment probably came from books but it wouldve worked with the show too imo. When Cercei meets the woods witch as a child in the book part of her prophecy is that she will be killed by her Valonqar, which means little brother in High Valyrian. Of course Cercei believed it to be Tyrion but we discover Cercei was born before Jaime so he technically is her younger brother too. I was always hoping Jaime died at Winterfell and Arya takes his face and kills Cercei.
Out of all the characters her got destroyed and ruined the most. She played as Daenerys for what, 8 years ??? And thats how her character arc ends ?? She becomes Hitler and kills whole city of innocent people for no legit reason? I would be very upset too.
You forgot about Varys. The ultimate Master of Whisperers, who had outlived at least 4 KINGS, all the while pulling strings and conspiring... Was burnt to death because he didn't spread secrets well enough.
Kinda true but his death was beacause he trusted tyrion with his secrets, something i dont believe he's ever done with someone else and he got betrayed for it. But his death was really disappointing.
Varys went from master manipulator, someone who operated vast networks of spies, someone who never revealed much, kept their cards hidden etc. To explicitly revealing plans, having loud conversations with other characters without keeping anything to himself, and then finally even when he knew time was up he just sat there waiting to be killed like a moron.
28:13 you cannot call out plot armor and not include the scene of Sam being under like 15 wights flailing like a fish and none of them are able to hurt him. The same wights we've seen swallow people like an avalanche, killing them in seconds.

dude I just finished the series myself for the first time within like 8 weeks. I can’t even imagine the pain after 8 years of being invested. So underwhelming :(
I literally don't watch TV shows anymore as they are released because of this show. I just wait for them to be over so I can binge them. I got so invested in GoT over those years only to get crushed the last season. Never again lol.
at some point when the lanisters layed down thier swords. It wouldve been the perfect ending if arya killed cercei and the clegange brothers killing each other. Maybe have jaimy fight with tyrions sellsword (i dont remmber his name) and then maybe the dragon queen just returning to the east with all her loyal people because she realised she shouldnt be king of westeros and it wouldve been perfect
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"
My issue with that is when Jon was King in the North she heard him order every male & female to train in combat. She's 5'9" (taller than Jon & Arya) and able bodied and it was an apocalypse and she had people who could've taught her at least the basics of self defense but she refused.
It’s crazy how this show had SUCH a bad ending that it literally erased itself from pop culture. This show went from “mainstream, one of the most popular TV shows, almost as quotable as Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, most people know about it” to “mostly forgotten, hasn’t been popular in years, literally never referenced anymore, only actually remembered by disgruntled people who used to be fans”. It was so shitty it literally undid the show’s entire legacy and reputation, now it’s just “that one show that everyone used to watch”. I don’t think a bad ending on that scale has been replicated before, nor do I think it will be again. It’s THE most infamous show ending ever.
@@sydnitheromantictaylor112 i did but I did speed up a little, skipped all the talks. I kept the excellent scene of the beatifull ladies 😂👍. So it took me like 10 minutes to watch each episode and the fighting scenes. But i skipped all the talks
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.
imagine if that happened and Arya encountered Jaime (who already escaped to be with Cersei) and they dueled, would be much better than the euron Vs Jaime crap
🤣😂 you and all those 873 likes are retards!! you guys miss all the details. how the hell would Littlefinger sneak into the red keeps when he is public enemy. you retards forgot he declared partners with house stark back in season ^ episode 10. yall all retards
this was the craziest bit for me,he just killed a queen grey worms saviour,and he is told not to speak as he is a prisoner...then he decides all of their fates and everyone agrees its up to him?????wtf
I hate how they butchered Jaime's character in the show. The whole point of his arc in the books, the losing of his sword hand, was the fact that he was a man who relied on his martial prowess to solve every problem he ever encountered. After his maiming, he was unable to rely on violence to solve his problems so he now had to learn how to solve problems diplomatically; like his father and brother. Combine this with his crisis of honor, and his realization of Cersei's true nature made for a very compelling character arc in the books. But in the show he just reverts to solving problems with violence, the writers kept putting Jaime into fights and battles for some reason, even though he is terrible with his left hand. He never falls out of love with Cersei in the show like he does in the books, so his character just stagnates until he eventually dies.
Plot threads that were forgotten 1. The prince/princess that was promised that was supposed to end the long night 2. Why the Night King was killing people and why they only appeared now 3. The witch's prophecy that Cersei was going to be killed by his brother (and she assumed that would be Tyrion) [This was only seen in the book so disregard] 4. Why it was important for Bran to meet the three-eyed raven and why the origin of the Others were so important
Pilou (Euron's actor) was allowed to choose his own costume after his first appearance. He wanted to look like a rockstar (he said so in an interview). Pilou's train of thought was similar to D&D's.
That kind of sums up John's character. My family is mad at each other :( Kings are fighting each other :( People are picking on my friend :( A man is hurting his kids :( Wildings hate me because the Watch loves me :( The Watch hates me because Wildlings love me :( Dragon Queen hates me because the North loves me :( North hates me because the Dragon Queen loves me :( blah blah blah, you get the idea. Such a whimpering little bitch.
As disappointing as the last seasons were i think my biggest letdown was Selmy's death. Here's a man who can win 1v1 against Brienne, the Hound, Jaime, the Mountain, Oberyn, Jon & Robert and who could still very possibly kill half of them if they all banded together against him, and he dies getting shoved around by a mob of paper masked nobodies. Shame.
This is the problem with Arya. I love her arc, but they did give her plot armor. Instead of giving a character plot armor MAYBE JUST MAKE THEM SMART ENOUGH TO AVOID PROBLEMS.
the annoying thing was that she was a really smart character in the earlier seasons, extremely resourceful and clever. then they decided that she couldn’t be smart and a good fighter at the same time, so they reduced her to a cold assassin. im bitter about it
I know it's late, but that's my biggest problem with how they handled a lot of the characters. So many of them - whether heroes, villains, or something in between - just had such a ridiculous degree of plot armor. They would either just think of the perfect counter even when there's no reason to believe they would have (usually antagonists like Cersei), or they would miraculously survive something that would have easily wiped them out had the same event taken place just a few seasons earlier (usually the protagonists on that one). It's basically the horror movie fodder problem. Writing situations that characters can't get out of despite being intelligent or writing characters as being resourceful enough to get out of seemingly impossible situations is hard. Writing situations where characters are just too stupid to escape or just making their pursuers idiots is easy. So why bother writing genuinely inescapable situations or characters who are genuinely intelligent if you can get away with just half-assing it?
Brandon Stark: I'm not Brandon Stark anymore, I can never be lord of anything, I'm the three eye raven. Tyrion: hey Brandon Stark, wanna be king? Brandon Stark: Yes, being king is my destiny, I'm Brandon Stark, son of Ned Stark.
@@hellowill Then Bran later has the audacity to say "why do you think I came all this way?" so instead of backing the true king you proclaimed earlier, his whole plan was to take the crown from Jon. What a joke
Not to mention Jon, even though I'm usurping your throne, you will also go back to the Night's Watch... What the fuck. This season totally mind fucked me. I swear they shot it all different had it all ready and then some how all servers pcs IOS etc. Crashed and the the REAL season eight was lost for ever... Yeah in my dreams where Daenerys still desstroys Kingslanding, and I get to watch her sit the Iron Throne. 😖
@Kessroy He only sees the past, not the future. It made no sense for him to say that. The writers constantly did this thing where they asked themselves "whats the most quotably in-character thing this character could say right now?" and just did that no matter how out of place or ridiculous it was taken in larger context.
Remember when the line “winter is coming” was such a well known line in pop-culture and when mentioned everyone knew exactly what you were referencing, even if you didn’t watch the show? Because of this shit this iconic line means absolutely nothing anymore and all it really does is give people PTSD of a horribly written ending
Haven't heard it used in years. It's like D&D got pregnant, were super excited to have the baby, took the best care of it they could while it was an infant, but then once it learned to talk back they killed it because it "wasn't fun anymore."
So very true I have serious trauma from how this show made me feel like they spit on my face, it terrorized my intelligence and broke my heart of disappointment.
I also never understood grey worm in the end. He actually gains a heart in the later seasons and then decides to kill innocent civilians and poor people even tho that’s what he was against from the beginning. All because he was following his queen. Made no sense
What's sad is that the whole series is tainted- if I watched it again, all the way through I'd be thinking 'that part doesn't matter' 'nothing comes of that story arc' 'that prophecy isn't fulfilled' 'they're debating who should be the ruler but it's going to end with your least favourate character'
Like Doctor Who, now when I watch it I cant help but think back to the absolute unwatchable garbage it became in the Whitticker Era becuase of f***ing Chibnill. Like, imagine a Vanpire Series written by Bram Stoker, and than the company fired him and hired Stephenie Meyer. And changes all Vampire Lore to the Twilight Style Vampires, and just retcon absolutely everything and change the tone of the story. This is Chibnill. Basically Chibnill wrote only like 3 episodes, all of which were terrible in every way. Everyone hated Chibnill and only liked his episodes ironically, a so bad its good kind of thing. Than BBC choose him to be the main writter for 3 bloody seasons, and he retconned everything and trivialized so many plot points. They also fired the Music director, a blood brilliant one that did an amazing job. Than he got replaced with somebody who can only do subpar ambiant music.
@@midshipman8654 Honestly I'd say watch the whole thing you'll have in my opinion the best 6 seasons of a show ever put on television then you can see 2 seasons of how not to write a story 101.

I remember when it was reveal that Littlefinger organized the death of The Hand... And there was a GOT meme when they say that at the end the whole show was the fight of wits between Varys and Littlefinger... And it was for seasons... Until they were relegated to second fiddle and they made so awful and obvious plotting... The show lost two of their best characters with all those changes, and no one replace them... Really sad...
@Carl Sinclair varys was no longer a puzzle piece since season 7, when it was revealed he wants the best for the realm and people, unlike little finger who wanted the power to himself ...and on a distant tangent, hate it when people praising sansa for winning the battle of bastards, when it was little finger who brought the knights...sansa just had a V
Still hoping the night king wins and takes over Mr snow & the fam, cercei and daenarys team up, and then it's an actual battle between fire and ice. But we got one hour of a meaningless battle.
@@exodiatheforbiddenone8228 7 seasons of buildup with the white walkers just for all of it to culminate in one big battle in one episode and the night king dies in the dumbest way possible. It felt like they just threw away that entire storyline to get to who gets the iron throne.
jaime was my favorite character too, and i wanted to throw my tv out the window when he went back to cersei. i told everyone for YEARS that he was going to be the one to kill her. stupid me.
You’re not stupid, the tv writers D&D are stupid and too blame. Hopefully we get a animated series or something in the future which follows the books properly or atleast does the character arcs justice.
They could have totally made it so he went back for her but finally sees how she's become such a monster that even he can't even save her and leaves her
It was a big mistake like 10 years ago when everyone started praising media for "subverting expectations". If the twist can be anticipated from the plot's direction and themes, that's not a mistake, that is good. That means it's a good, coherent story. Subverting those expectations can also be a good thing, if you either 1) subvert common tropes in ways that are logical for your story, or 2) foreshadow a narrative twist subtly enough where it's still there, but may not be apparent on a first watch. 1) is a Ned Stark's death in GoT. 2) is Sixth Sense. The last season (or two) of GoT is just a twist for the sake of a twist, it is the equivalent of wattpad writers throwing a tantrum over someone guessing their ending.
Exactly. Like if I’m at a restaurant and I tell the waiter “just surprise me” and he comes back and gives me a plate filled with literal shit, then yeah I didn’t expect it, it did indeed surprise me, but that doesn’t mean I’ll happily eat and enjoy my plate of shit
@@Sough I mean several of them have had that reaction. Oh hell all of them probably have that reaction, even if they don't say it in front of a camera.
Still someone show me how great writing could have saved it with only 6 episodes left.. it couldn't. Especially if they didn't kill off the white walkers so easily
Tyrion fucks up a lot but fixes all his mistakes at last in seasons 5 to 6. In season 7 and 8 I'm still wondering to this day why Dany didn't throw him off the highest roof
Imagine _Game of Thrones_ as if you’re dining at an elegant restaurant. The appetizers are delectable-some of the best food you've ever tasted. The main course is second to none. You’re on cloud nine. Dessert arrives, expecting another hole in one, and it disappoints. No, it's not crummy. It's not on par with what was served before. Now comes the digestif, but instead of the after-dinner drinks, the manager walks up to you and randomly douses you in chocolate syrup.
I'd put it in terms of eating the best food I've ever had. While eating the desert, I suddenly noticing the taste and texture is off, and see I've ate part of a dead cockroach with maggots in it. Proceeds to throw up the whole thing
Breaking Bad had the most satisfying ending of all shows. And that series never had any books or material to adapt from. You just need better writers, that's all.
@@m_ackerman91 GoT is more complex??? Bwahahaha, lol. It might be on much bigger scale - but Breaking Bad is far more complex and deep show. you can even make Connection with fucking God or Jesus with some characters. Fucking swimming pools have depth behind them.
I really hate when people say “They ran out of books.” D&D didn’t even adapt the material from the books! If they had the show would’ve been much better and probably could’ve went 11 seasons. They didn’t have to make up nonsense if they just adapted the book material that they had! They didn’t run out of material they just didn’t adapt it. They had more than enough material.
Bad writing is like holes in a ship. It could be a massive luxurious cruiser, but with enough holes it'll sink real quick taking anything good it has down with it.
Or even a time jump! Have the last episode or two take place after she’s been queen a few years. But D&D had her lose her mind overnight bc her nephew didn’t want to bone her anymore.
@@bangtanruinedmylifeinabeau5616 because they wanted to work on their fantasy show where the confederacy and slavery still existed. thank god that never worked out.
although i agree it was badly done, i still think there were hints of her insanity all around. first showing the targaryen nature, the ‘flipping a coin’ analogy, then showing the way she often makes mistakes, especially with the ruling of mereen. the way she snapped and burned all the masters, along with the way jorah, barristan, and later tyrion were all trying to suppress her rashest impulses. with all of them gone she faces the final enemy, and therefore snaps on westeros
@@lucasnyman5424 she was definitely headed that way, but they went from gradually ramping up towards The Mad Queen to straight vertical climb into the stratosphere. This guy did a rewrite of just the Battle of Winterfell episode and the last two episodes that actually makes sense, and fit into the constraints of the short season. It can be done, but D&D weren’t interested in trying. ua-cam.com/video/UJaI95_ATw0/v-deo.html
The character assassination was unreal. Jon, Dany, and good god Jaime's characters were assassinated beyond repair. The only characters I still liked at the end were literally Theon and Davos. The rest of Westeros could have been killed and I wouldn't have cared. Arya could have literally no one'd ceresi's ass at any point after returning home and realizing what was at stake. Lmao. It's like THE WORLD IS ENDING THE DEAD ARE HERE. YAY WE WON! To oh yeah, we have to deal with Ceresi. Literally replace the night king with ceresi and have arya shank/imprison her and then we could have had some actual character building and a legit final battle with massive consequences but also a chance to rebuild wasteros.
God it’s been years and years later and it’s still blowing my mind that this show of all the shows dropped the ball so hard it shattered the show’s entire fandom, popularity, and all credibility. Tragic isn’t even the word.
i have pondered the same tragic reality more than once dumb and dumber would have had their names etched in theatrical history as the producers of the most iconic fantasy and ONE OF the most iconic SHOWS ever produced now their names will be remembered but for the wrong reasons
@@futuretimetraveller8677 literally that. And look at those guys now, they literally do not get mentioned or heard at ALL anymore. Not only did they destroy this series, they absolutely destroyed their own careers and its fucking astounding how fast that worked. I’ve heard house of the Dragon is great for the most part and is kinda sewing the gaping chest wound the series left but lord knows it will never be fully healed. This was far too much. And you know what really caught my eye at the end? When they all laughed at Sam’s suggestion to become more of a council instead of having a king. That moment right there made me sigh and roll my eyes harder than anything because you KNOW that was their “Haha right guys? Riiiiight? That would never make sense or happen in GoT” as if NOW all of sudden their acknowledging the shit their doing. Like sheesh.
I'm the kind of person who rewatch the shows that I love over and over again, and GoT _was_ that kind of show for me. After finishing every season I would start over right from the beginning, except for after season 8. Haven't rewatched it since the season 8 finale, haven't even tried to.
@@hurricanefrid I know that feeling. It's the same for me. I'd like to rewatch it, but I really cannot get me to do so. Same for the new got show. I cannot watch it.
I knew that this show was dead back in season 7. When John Snow and his merry men go north of the wall to try and find the white walkers to bring one of the dead back. That was absolutely terrible
Tbf as stupid it was to make bran king that line actually kinda made sense in that context. Grey worm tells them they can pick a king (idk why the biggest lords of westeros suddenly need grey worms approval for aynthing) and then when they do he immediately tries to shit on the first thing the "king" does. It felt like grey worm needs some sort of a reminder that at the end of the day he's a nobody because he was acting like he owns westeros
What bugs me is quote "Wy do you think i came all this way?" As Brans response for Tyrions question if he'll be the king... he doesnt want to be one and he did all that nothing just to be one? I have missed something or i really dont know
@@PlesnivejSejra lol and in the very same scene he goes on to say "i dont want to be king" and none of the 15 people sitting there seem to pick up on this fuckery
Seriously. They did NOTHING with the fact that killing Dany was essentially Jon turning his back on everything he ever stood for. Staying true to your vows was instilled in him as a child, and all they do is make him look mopey about it
I was watching a clip with him on Seth Myers, and he was describing his playing dead as one of his best performances...apparently he was mostly asleep, and kept getting congratulated by the crew.
I absolutely agree, I couldn't agree anymore. The hole last season left a wierd feeling in me, an empty space, that literally shouts for itself to be filled.
Kyle Vernon “There are a couple times where we’re planning the season and we avoided giving the fans exactly what they want, because then it becomes predictable” -David Benioff (episode 5 behind the scenes)
@@requiem4391 I looked at that video too (or at least I saw him say that) and it means pretty much the same thing as what you said. You made a good joke. I think Kyle is just being a classic internet/UA-cam commenter. (An asshat)
Kyle it’s more about the fact that all the main plots got rushed out of relevance or completely banned. The Knight king? Fuck um Azora hai? Fuck um The Horn of Winter? Fuck it The Knight kings wife; who? Bran could have filled us in on all this stuff but instead, the writers have him staring at everyone. The only thing he does all season is fly with the ravens and becomes king. Like this video said. The most interesting character in the story, and they made him useless.
Remember how this show was constantly referenced and quoted in every kind of media for like 7-8 years? Have not heard one person talk about it since it ended. The last 2 seasons really killed it. Edit: Glad HoTD turned out great lol
@@Meraxes6 ....Sooooort of. Writing has many rules, most mediums of art do not have many rules. I cannot think of any artistic medium that has even close to the amount of rules and objectively "bad" aspects to it that writing does. Plotholes and tropes are objectively bad unless something is a parody which Game of Thrones is not.
At one point when young Ned hears Bran and turns around and it cuts to the ravens face i honestly thought …. Did Bran just realise he may be able to influence the past if he can in somewhat interact with it ? Imagine the potential
Aaaaaand an entire season of dick jokes is all we got. My imagination exploded after that episode and they couldn’t be bothered to use it for ANYTHING.
“Danny’s fall to the dark side is more abrupt and jarring than Anakin Skywalker’s. And yet somehow she still has a higher body count.” This killed me😂😂🤣🤣
It makes me cry and laugh. Anakin started falling to the dark side since episode 2 when he slaughtered a village...but it was years prior. Dany becomes a Sith Lord in one episode and with no time lapse in between.
@@v-mouse You missed the part when Anakin slaughtered an entier village to say such a thing ? The joke about Vader having low body count was compared to Daenerys who killed HUNDREDS OF THOUSAND OF PEOPLE on her dragon while turning dark side in like an hour.
"The writing is bad, that is the only thing wrong with the show." That is the best and most simple explanation for GofT. Everything else in that show was done so well
Yeah it had good actors and loads of money to spend on special effects, however not having authors capable of writing the latter 4 seasons to save their lives is, erm, suboptimal and not so conducive to a good show
@@sieyes9356 Yeah good writing is really hard to do even though you have a good amount of resources, money can't buy intelligence that easy. The directors of the show just made up the plot of the final season because the book material source for the show is not finish yet by the original author.
@@jcavs9847 For sure, I'm with you. I loved that show and many people did. That is why we all got so upset the last few seasons when the show runners trashed it
I disagree on the Cersei thing, the Sparrows were a perfect foil for her because the high Sparrow couldnt be corrupted or manipulated through her regular tactics, that's why she had to blow them up, although it would've been more interesting to see her face more consequences as a result of such a bold move but i do think it makes sense why ahe would do it.
@@alisaurus4224 Pretty sure he doesn't work linearly and already has a lot of stuff roughly written out for Book 7 as well, so if he bites the dust we should at least see a rough cut of what would have been the ending even if we don't get it with too many details and some useless fat on it that he didn't have time to cut away

Sorry to offend anyone but I also feel Casting of Jon Snow was wrong... KH doesn't have the Heroic Charisma. Richard Madden (Robb Stark) should've played Jon Snow instead. That guy had a Powerful presence. It's so bad that I actually end up rooting for Danerys over Jon Snow. Even though show wants me to hate Danerys and like Jon but I do the reverse instead 😂
You can’t see how Brianne was ruined? She was a complex, strong woman who bucked tradition and became a warrior, and the show ends with her sniveling over a boy 🙄

Don’t forget that Dumb & Dumber forgot how fast a horse can go. Jamie, Arya and The Hound made it to Kings Landing in the last season in a day. Not to mention Danny’s army was already there. In the first book it took Robert like a month or more to get to Winterfell with a small escort. Maybe I am wrong and Dany held the castle at siege for a month, maybe Winterfell is all up hill
A horse and rider can travel appropriately 32 miles per day. The distance from King’s Landing to Winterfell is 1500 miles so it would take about 47 days to travel between them. A group would take longer because they would have to stop more frequently especially if they were pulling coaches or supply wagons.
THANK YOU! I never heard anyone say anything about how fast they travelled, like what did they feed their horses 😂 were the unsullied and dothrakis run nonstop to King’s Landing?
Freys were seen as motherfuckers for 7 seasons, they died in 2 minutes without any expectation, was that a problem ? More than 2 hours have been gave for the preparation and the fight itself of the long night against the dead (episode 2 and 3 of season 8, I don't even mention episode 1), this is enough.
It’s not enough. It’s nowhere near enough. The first two episodes were just people walking and talking. You probably liked it cause you never liked the white walker storyline. There’s a pattern showing with people defending this shit.
@@clem72tro The Freys weren't magical or mysterious. We know most of what's important about the Freys when they were first introduced. We have known practically nothing about the white walkers or Night king besides a few things like them taking the babies and all but we never got a true motive. Sure they said he wants to destroy all life or whatever, but we never actually see that from the Night King. The Night King was built up since season one - he was seen as impossible to kill and yet he dies on the very first attack south by one blow to the chest in the middle of his undead army.
Nope, her development took longer and no one can say that it came very suddenly. That would be a lie. Quite apart from that, certain events can make you think differently within a day and thus your behavior changes.
@@DalYeosin It can make you think so differently that you decide to nuke an entire city with dragon fire? The thing she never wanted to do in the first place? Sure, why not.
@@allthatishere If I remember correctly, then earlier she had no problem with imposing her will on other people and that's exactly what she never wanted to do at the very beginning. But she got stronger from season to season, had more and more people by her side and such a force with dragons behind her can change all thoughts. When she touched the iron throne at the very end, she didn't even understand what she was doing. The building in which the throne was was smashed and the walls around it were torn open. Nevertheless, she looked at the throne with satisfaction and that should make it clear to the audience that she was only fixated on one thing the whole time and in the end she didn't care how she got there. I'm 100% sure that if Jon Snow hadn't killed her then she would have executed him sometime in the future because, like Tyrion said, he would always pose a threat to her. So it was a matter of time before either of them died.
It was clear from the start that she was not about "breaking the chains" but to sit her but on the iron throne. But it was badly done AND so hastily that most can't relate.
It's almost impressive how just about every character was ruined in one season. I'll always love the hound though. It's just too bad I don't even feel like starting it again and to get let down again.
We waited eight seasons for Jon Snow to be sent right back to the nights watch, after he died for them left them, after he was crowned kind in the north, after he became Aegon Targaeryen the heir to the seven kingdoms. The biggest reveal in the show and the explaining of Roberts Rebellion doesn't matter because democracy kicked in!! Honestly the slap in the face to Jon's arc was the worst I've ever seen for all his pain and suffering they reset his entire fucking character
I wasn't a big fan of Jon, but his arc ruined the whole universe. He got resurrected - true resurrection, not wight shit, but full reanimation of mind, body and spirit. That's deity level shit. Why would he be revived like that just to kill one woman? The only reason that a god would revive a person like that is to end an existential threat that no one else could.
Love how dragons can understand symbolism but can’t see hundreds of pirate ships with massive dragon killing crossbows mounted in the front

“They ran outta books” pretty much sums it up.
@@JinMeowsoon so they just stop giving a shit ? that sounds even worst than them running out of books
RandomTipsyLemon hellll no lol there’s so much shit they could’ve adapted into the show that would’ve given them exponentially more nuance then what they had in season 8. Young griff and the Blackfyres are cut out entirely, lady stone heart is cut, pretty much everything about Eurons entire character is cut out, Victorian isn’t even in the fucking show which sucks, the entirety of Sansas storyline in feast for crows is cut out in order to remarry her to Ramsey so she can be raped. There’s so much shit that they left out of the show that would’ve not only given them nuance but it also would’ve just made the show longer giving George an opportunity to actually finish the books or at least give them more detailed outlines of what to do with the later seasons. Instead they rushed past pretty much all of feast for crows and Dance of Dragons.
That’s no excuse. They’re supposed to be writers. Write.
@@JinMeowsoon I know right? I've been reading the last 2 books and I don't remember any scenes from those books in the show
@@sergiomendoza4040 exactly I hated that they omitted storylines from a AFFC and ADWD, if they didn't want to do the amount of seasons needed to fully adapt the books then they shouldn't have been given this project (GRRM knew they didn't want as many seasons as he thought they needed so he shouldn't have given it to them) or they should've handed it to someone else who still had passion for the story.
My biggest issue is that they been talking about “Winter is Coming” since episode 1 and Winter is over in one episode???
I'm assuming that it will be an entire novel for the Whyte story line to wrap up and an entire book for the Dany v Cersei to wrap up. And like huge 1000+ books for both. So the books seem like they are on the right track in terms of pacing and being more consistent.
Edit. I'm sure he's fretting quite a bit over wrapping up in 2 novels time. He may have to cut books in half again. Did that work for the last two novels? Yes and no.
@@Bradley_Lute Have you seen GRRM. That dude is going to die before he finish his books. All of us will be left disappointed.
I agree they built up the Night King for so long just for him to die in episode 3. They should have made him the last villain to die not Cersei
@@igiveyouthefacts I'm assuming they were following the way things happen in the unwritten books. Winds of winter is likely the big showdown with the White walkers and a dream of spring is likely the showdown with Cersei. GRRM got the idea from lord of the rings. The issue though, is that they compressed both of these plots into the last two seasons but gave too much weight to the whites and didn't have enough time to flesh out the battle for Kings Landing.

@curio honestly, I have rewatched it a few times and I just skipped the last 2 seasons no problem. The shittiness of Seasons 7 and 8 don't diminish the incredible things from the first 6 seasons for me

@@techeepeach9272 why as the guy above just said the first 6 seasons where still incredible
im sure they can do it again in the prequal
I still think Disney coming to Benioff and Weiss and pitching them the Star Wars trilogy was what started it. Disney execs wanted Game of Thrones to be toast, and what better way then to manipulate the creators into fucking it over.
'shocked weebay meme' seriously tho spittin straight facts
Reason why Dany couldn’t see the iron fleet: “SHE FORGOT”...... many brain cells were lost at that moment
She might have vaguely heard about the Iron Fleet when the Sand Snakes and Yara were captured by them. She very likely did not know that upgraded, more advanced versions of the Scorpion anti-Dragon ballistae were installed on the ships of Euron's fleet. The harsh consequences of not having good intel. Perhaps Bran has only so much synaptic bandwidth and didn't have time to review those time files, particularly since he was preoccupied with events in Winterfell.
A K this would be true, except for the fact that the master of whispers TOLD her about it, and her advisors even convinced her to not launch a preemptive attack against the fleet, it’s just awful writing by D&D
Mr. Benioff, or Weiss, or whatever you are, you forgot you were a writer.
What's awful is that everything else this season was amazing. The writing was the only aspect that was a disappointment. The acting, music, cinematography, visuals and action were all incredible, arguably the best of all the seasons. If it weren't for the bullshit writing this season would have been the best of them all, the velocity would have surpassed everything else in TV history.
I’d rather they made the excuse, “Itvwas a surprise ambush.”
Everyone: "what was the point of the white walkers in the show?"
...
D&D: "we kind of forgot the white walkers were in the show."
What was the point of R+L=J? That was the center of a main plot and he ends up back in the stupid North? He didn’t even get to kill the Knight King and return to the North.
What was the point of Bran (Until we could flashback and see Jon’s parentage), his story is the WORST. Jon AND Sam have better stories than Bran, and everyone else actually. Damn, Davos has a better story.
So apparently, they should have ended the series at episode 3 of Season 8, in order to preserve the importance and centrality of the Night King to the story? That would have solved that problem, right?

It goes to show how a messed up ending can completely ruin a piece of works legacy.
So fucking true

DarksUper3DgeLord Toufiq not at all. Even with the ending, seasons 1-6 were so well done the show remains one of the best shows of all time.

"the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives" and then all the Starks go solo, are totally alone and separated from one another.
That right there is why I think the whole ending leans way, WAY too hard on the 'bitter' part of bittersweet. Other than minor characters like Bronn or Podrick, the only endings that appear mostly happy are those of the Starks, and specifically Arya and Sansa. But Arya is leaving her family again even though that was the WHOLE point of her storyline in Braavos ("A girl is Arya Stark of Winterfell, and I'm going home"). And Sansa is Queen in the North (which I'll be honest is the only part of the finale that didn't totally piss me off), but she's ruling alone. There are **ZERO** other named characters in the shot with her. Not even Brienne, who was *sworn to Sansa by Catelyn*. But no, she's at the Small Council, I guess because the optics of an all-male council after Cersei and Dany both got the Mad Queen treatment would be bad.
Not trying to defend the show (specially as a book reader and Dorne fan), but you've cut the beginning and it IS important. "When winter comes and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives." Winter came and apparently (for the show?) went away, and during this event, the pack was together. After that, it wasn't much needed anymore.
However, not even going on about how Winter should last years and years (because there is this doubt about winter - "does winter bring the white walkers, or do they make winter come?"), but there is a lot of symbolism in ASOIAF/GOT about characters and their house sigils. Much like a wolf, Ned Stark was loyal to the only woman he had in his life officially, but the loyalty to his own blood made him lie about it and keep this secret for the rest of his life. Much like wolves, the Starks work better when they're together and in the North, their home. When they get separated, even though it's not Winter yet, things go terribly wrong. If they had stayed in the North together and Ned refused being Hand, none of them would have to die. In fact, the North would have Ned, Robb etc to lead them to the war against the White Walkers. Separating the pack after they tried to hard to go back home and stick together just seems.... wrong. Arya fought so hard to go back to her home, but she just leaves and promises to not come back. Bran isn't even Bran anymore, the little kid who constantly defied rules just to try and see his home and his father again in visions - nothing. Jon - yeah, he was never really a Stark, but Winterfell was his home and he was so ready to break his vows and fight besides Robb for it. He had the North AND the Stark blood in him, but I guess he had no choice over his own ending bc the show didn't know what to do with him after shitting on the idea of him being a protagonist because fuck logic, we want to subvert expectations!!! Sansa is the only one who actually stood by the North and her home, and being honest - she never even liked it as a kid. She was never too close to her brothers anyways. She was constantly shown as more of a trout than a wolf, and Lady dying so early set the tone for it, but I can kinda accept the show's choices since they gave her Jeyne Poole's arc. Idk man, this whole symbolism just got thrown in the dumpster and it makes me sad too.
But the pack can't survive anyways, there will never have others Starks because there is no male Stark who can father children.
@@aevenstar100 spit the truth ,my friend
They go their own ways until they all come back together in season 8. And the Starks survive.

@@jc_3679 It still takes the most time to cut all the clips together! Especially if you're also including older ones.
Biffyguy Biffy nigga why you got an answer for everything?
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.
oh and he went back to a wall that was there to prevent the walkers from going south, now that there's no more walkers wtf do they need the wall or people to watch it?? it has a massive hole in it and it was created with magic, so they couldn't make it again and why would they if there's no more zombie?? all the wildlong were already south. nothing makes sense nothingggg
Absolutely, at least have him lead the white walkers like Aragorn did for the dead and then have them battle it put with Daenarys and the dragons. Then it would be a TRUE song of ice and fire.
But the strong career waman must be higher to screw up the culture even more.
Targaryens lost their right to the Throne with Baratheon’s Rebellion.
@@mirziyobwasn’t he sent to the wall for his vein of killing danny by the unsullied
I still greatly appreciate Kit for being so honest in the interview. Many of his cast mates were afraid to speak their minds.
Most who didn't spoke their minds were not MAIN protagonists, they have to be moderate until it's their time to speak.
That can end a career.
I regret to inform you that I’m pretty sure that was edited 😅
@@dysmissme7343 it wasnt. google the real interview and u see the interviewrs reaction and he tries to save it by saying it is also epic.
@@JoeyAGamer Dany was a main character but she was too afraid to be honest. You can check her interview, the way she said "Best season ever" proves she was afraid. I appreciate Kit for his honesty.
@@mashedpotato4465 yeah remembering those interviews now they knew the ending was shit
In every interview about season 8, the cast looks like they're being held hostage
Tara Jones leading up to season 7 I remember almost every cast member was saying best season to date. Not One cast member said this about s8 except Emilia in a sarcastic way.
That one Peter Dinklage interview was hard to watch. It was so awkward and obvious he didn't mean what he was saying
@@jjgen736 I think she was speaking from the viewpoint of her character. Same with the other actors who said it was disappointing. I could be wrong but actors don't usually shit talk things they're in. It's just bad business ethics, especially before something is released
@Cherry Muse There were HBO snipers aiming at his head. It is known.
I really enjoyed this last season. Now I know why it was terrible and awful. But I enjoyed it nonetheless.
I love Emilia Clarke for that interview.
“Best season ever” *cringe face* 😂
Big props to Nathalie Emmanuel keeping it completely straight faced knowing she wants a career after this
yeah they were just taking the piss at this point.
Not as good as Peter Dinklage's
"A sniper is pointing a gun to my head, please help"-face, when he was obligated to praise D&D for their 'skill'.
Jacob I feel so bad for her.
I may hate Dany, but i love Emilia Clarke so much, she's a national treasure, a gift to humanity
35:43 5 years later…still no sequel book
😢
For real...
Real
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
Influence?
Not for those of us who enjoyed it. I loved every minute of it.
@@Thomas-kj1fk Well, but most of the viewers hated it
this. No one talks about it. No one cares. Its truly amazing how you can kill one of the most influential shows in the history of tv with 6 episodes.
This show used to be referenced CONSTANTLY, it was almost as quotable as Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. Now nobody references it anymore. You’d think if the show ended on good or at least decent terms, people would still reference and joke about it. Literally the only time you hear people talking about Game of Thrones now is when they’re talking about how badly the ending of that show was fucked up
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.
Can confirm... I was ok with the battle; except arya killing the night king when that was JOHN'S story.
But killing the dragon out of NOWHERE? Now jamie? And now missandei. I just cannot. When they cut the scene right before Bran tells arya and sansa about Jon...
This is the hottest pile of fucking garbage I've seen and I regret rewatching the show. Its just shit scene after shit scene, after shit scene. There's no moment of sweetness, satisfaction.
If you're thinking of rewatching it... don't.
@@Ava-ns4go I rewatch it, then I stop at about season 8, episode 2 and then make up my own ending in my head.
Not only that. They kind of ruined the book ending as well, as if the ending is the same, there is no surprise :(
D&D didn't make the series "jump the shark", because that phrase implies pushing an established plot structure too far. They simply didn't give a fuck, They ignored established plot structures (or didn't understand them), and so blithely wiped out seasons-long arches, as well as all seven seasons of previous, detailed plot development. They weren't interested, and and they didn't even bother pretending they were.
It's still *so* frustrating. It feels like spending seven years investing in a special, beloved pet project, then at the last minute having some disinterested expert come in, take control, drop a massive, steaming dump on it, and walk away.
Truth. I wanted to rewatch to see the early seasons, but then I got mad that the end sucked and I just didn't bother, lol.
Instead of Danny "kinda forgetting" the fleet they should have killed the dragon in the attack on Kings Landing, the literal next episode, and use it as a catalyst to her destroying the city.
It's such a simple fix it's crazy no one thought about it.
Kishibe Rohan that’s exactly what I thought after watching episode 5. In Addition, they also should have killed missandei at the start of episode 5
Yes, that would have worked flawlessly! Don't know about the "mad ruler" thing, but it would have motivated the slaughter.
Even with the story they went with, all they had to do was put the ships there in the open. Dany sees them and flies in to torch them (because that was the plan all along) and once she is close they uncover the weapons that were hidden and shot the dragon down.
Are you the Real Rohan Kishibe?
Kishibe Rohan they should have had the bells ring then Cersei blow up wildfire in the city killing Missandei and a hidden ballista kills rhaegal. But even then I only see her burning the RK.
Cerseis death was the biggest L of the whole thing. Ruined multiple arch’s all in one unsatisfying roof collapse… the least dramatic d***th in television history
For me as a new watcher this is the complaint that didn’t bother me that much. The entire show we see the most beloved characters get executed in the most excruciating way possible, so I thought it was a nice touch that the most despicable character of all is the only one that gets a quick painless death in the arms of someone they love
What was the point of censoring the second 'death' if you said it already?
I just finished watching it for the first time and I could’ve sworn I seen a comment before I watched the finale saying Cersei was gonna be killed by Jaime 😅
That would’ve been interesting
@@mrblue___ I JUST finished as well! Glad I’m not the only one 😅 (was very disappointed with the ending)
@mrblue___ that comment probably came from books but it wouldve worked with the show too imo. When Cercei meets the woods witch as a child in the book part of her prophecy is that she will be killed by her Valonqar, which means little brother in High Valyrian. Of course Cercei believed it to be Tyrion but we discover Cercei was born before Jaime so he technically is her younger brother too. I was always hoping Jaime died at Winterfell and Arya takes his face and kills Cercei.
Poor Emilia. Every interview she is just so clearly upset about how it ended
Out of all the characters her got destroyed and ruined the most. She played as Daenerys for what, 8 years ??? And thats how her character arc ends ?? She becomes Hitler and kills whole city of innocent people for no legit reason? I would be very upset too.
Acting got better as the plot got worse each season
She deserved another season or extra episodes to do her justice but nope.
@@roxtechs

She deserved a better ending and kit did to
I had no idea David Benioff actually wrote that Wolverine movie. That should've been a major red flag
It explains so much, doesn't it
Wow no wonder. .
I bet he doesn't announce it everywhere.
D&D always be known as "WOW" to "Ohh shit."
"that wolverine movie" everybody knows what you're talking about automatically lol
You forgot about Varys. The ultimate Master of Whisperers, who had outlived at least 4 KINGS, all the while pulling strings and conspiring... Was burnt to death because he didn't spread secrets well enough.
Kinda true but his death was beacause he trusted tyrion with his secrets, something i dont believe he's ever done with someone else and he got betrayed for it. But his death was really disappointing.
His death was part of his plan to persuade john that he should be king
and LF
Sam Cooper or didn’t leave when he knew she was gonna find out. They failed varys and little finger they deserved so much better.
Varys went from master manipulator, someone who operated vast networks of spies, someone who never revealed much, kept their cards hidden etc. To explicitly revealing plans, having loud conversations with other characters without keeping anything to himself, and then finally even when he knew time was up he just sat there waiting to be killed like a moron.
28:13 you cannot call out plot armor and not include the scene of Sam being under like 15 wights flailing like a fish and none of them are able to hurt him. The same wights we've seen swallow people like an avalanche, killing them in seconds.
Imagine if D&D had gone the mange/anime route and gave us a bunch of beach and hot springs episodes until books caught up
I'm not even sure that would be worse, actually.
p.s. Manga don't do that since they don't have to wait for any books to catch up
@@SchrollShepard Yea thats what I meant with 'manga/anime' namely talking about the anime adaptations of manga
Weeb smh
@@SchrollShepard untrue! A lot of Japanese light novels are adapted into manga while the LN is still running. An example of this is The Devil Is A Part-Timer. Not all anime originate from manga :)
@@tessieract I never said all anime comes from manga, what are you talking about, friend?
You're definitely right, but generally speaking a manga won't have anything to catch up to, because chances are it's the original source.
Thanks for the correction, however.
I finished the show in 10 days and I am so disappointed.
I can only imagine how the people who followed it for 5-6 years must have felt
dude I just finished the series myself for the first time within like 8 weeks. I can’t even imagine the pain after 8 years of being invested. So underwhelming :(
I literally don't watch TV shows anymore as they are released because of this show. I just wait for them to be over so I can binge them. I got so invested in GoT over those years only to get crushed the last season. Never again lol.
GoT does not deserve the criticism it receives, I'm glad I am one of the people that actually likes season 7 and 8
at some point when the lanisters layed down thier swords. It wouldve been the perfect ending if arya killed cercei and the clegange brothers killing each other. Maybe have jaimy fight with tyrions sellsword (i dont remmber his name) and then maybe the dragon queen just returning to the east with all her loyal people because she realised she shouldnt be king of westeros and it wouldve been perfect

One of my biggest pet peeves was Sansa doing nothing in the crypt when she was given a knife and there were people getting massacred down there
My issue with that is when Jon was King in the North she heard him order every male & female to train in combat. She's 5'9" (taller than Jon & Arya) and able bodied and it was an apocalypse and she had people who could've taught her at least the basics of self defense but she refused.
What I want to know is how the fuck skeletons managed to smash through solid stone
Out of everything that happened in that episode that’s what annoyed you the most 💀
@@valance10Lol 😹😹😹

It’s crazy how this show had SUCH a bad ending that it literally erased itself from pop culture. This show went from “mainstream, one of the most popular TV shows, almost as quotable as Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, most people know about it” to “mostly forgotten, hasn’t been popular in years, literally never referenced anymore, only actually remembered by disgruntled people who used to be fans”. It was so shitty it literally undid the show’s entire legacy and reputation, now it’s just “that one show that everyone used to watch”. I don’t think a bad ending on that scale has been replicated before, nor do I think it will be again. It’s THE most infamous show ending ever.

It's nearly identical to how Dexter was some of the best TV ever capped off by a horribly written ending. Only on an infinitely larger scale.
@@Moesie incredible troll lmao
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.
Arya only face change other body cant
Sounds just like riding the eagles in LoTR
@@he.236 rly? it doesnt stop her to "be" Walder Frey

I know, why would anyone listen to anymore of Tyrion’s bad advice.
Bran: I dont want to be king
Tyrion: Bran pls be king
Bran: Why do you think i came all this way
bravo dabid, bravo
I hate how they butchered Jaime's character in the show.
The whole point of his arc in the books, the losing of his sword hand, was the fact that he was a man who relied on his martial prowess to solve every problem he ever encountered. After his maiming, he was unable to rely on violence to solve his problems so he now had to learn how to solve problems diplomatically; like his father and brother. Combine this with his crisis of honor, and his realization of Cersei's true nature made for a very compelling character arc in the books.
But in the show he just reverts to solving problems with violence, the writers kept putting Jaime into fights and battles for some reason, even though he is terrible with his left hand. He never falls out of love with Cersei in the show like he does in the books, so his character just stagnates until he eventually dies.
Plot threads that were forgotten
1. The prince/princess that was promised that was supposed to end the long night
2. Why the Night King was killing people and why they only appeared now
3. The witch's prophecy that Cersei was going to be killed by his brother (and she assumed that would be Tyrion) [This was only seen in the book so disregard]
4. Why it was important for Bran to meet the three-eyed raven and why the origin of the Others were so important
Quaithe from season 2 and that other Daario guy
When the enemy’s motive never is explained, it makes them useless and straight up boring
Well the prophecy said that Cersei was going to be killed by her LITTLE brother. Cersei born first, so Jaime is also her little brother.
!!!
3. wasn't in the show so I wouldn't count that.
*tyrion :* we should all be ruled by this creepy kid in wheelchair over there....bran the broken
*literally everyone who isn't from the north :* who??
C Vox yea that’s basically what happened and also you forgot they voted for him king even though they know nothing about him
He's Ned Stark's son, people know him
Not to mention about who the fuck tells all Westeros about Bran being the Three Eyes Raven and how did they know what does three eyes raven mean?
WHOMST?
Someone who literally said “I can’t relate to people, I mostly live in the past now”
"He feels like a guy who just wandered onto the set from another show."
Best description of Euron Greyjoy ever.
Milo Cooper tbh he’s like the opposite version of Daryl Dixon
Eroun Greyjoy is the Creed Bratton of GoT
Pilou (Euron's actor) was allowed to choose his own costume after his first appearance. He wanted to look like a rockstar (he said so in an interview). Pilou's train of thought was similar to D&D's.
He killed some of the worst characters on the show so that gives him a semi-pass for me.
But what show? My guess is Black Flag.

As disappointing as the last seasons were i think my biggest letdown was Selmy's death. Here's a man who can win 1v1 against Brienne, the Hound, Jaime, the Mountain, Oberyn, Jon & Robert and who could still very possibly kill half of them if they all banded together against him, and he dies getting shoved around by a mob of paper masked nobodies.

@@vitoc8454 just realised too what even happened to everyone left in Mereen in the show? Guess they don’t care Dany was killed?
EXACTLY
This is the problem with Arya. I love her arc, but they did give her plot armor. Instead of giving a character plot armor MAYBE JUST MAKE THEM SMART ENOUGH TO AVOID PROBLEMS.
Yep
the annoying thing was that she was a really smart character in the earlier seasons, extremely resourceful and clever. then they decided that she couldn’t be smart and a good fighter at the same time, so they reduced her to a cold assassin. im bitter about it
Also I don’t know why she wanted to go kill Cersei even though she was gonna die either way.
I know it's late, but that's my biggest problem with how they handled a lot of the characters. So many of them - whether heroes, villains, or something in between - just had such a ridiculous degree of plot armor. They would either just think of the perfect counter even when there's no reason to believe they would have (usually antagonists like Cersei), or they would miraculously survive something that would have easily wiped them out had the same event taken place just a few seasons earlier (usually the protagonists on that one).
It's basically the horror movie fodder problem. Writing situations that characters can't get out of despite being intelligent or writing characters as being resourceful enough to get out of seemingly impossible situations is hard. Writing situations where characters are just too stupid to escape or just making their pursuers idiots is easy. So why bother writing genuinely inescapable situations or characters who are genuinely intelligent if you can get away with just half-assing it?
At a certain point she just became a female ezio
Brandon Stark: I'm not Brandon Stark anymore, I can never be lord of anything, I'm the three eye raven.

Don't forgot Samwell saying Jon is the only true king, and Bran himself confirming it
@@hellowill Then Bran later has the audacity to say "why do you think I came all this way?" so instead of backing the true king you proclaimed earlier, his whole plan was to take the crown from Jon. What a joke
Not to mention Jon, even though I'm usurping your throne, you will also go back to the Night's Watch... What the fuck. This season totally mind fucked me. I swear they shot it all different had it all ready and then some how all servers pcs IOS etc. Crashed and the the REAL season eight was lost for ever... Yeah in my dreams where Daenerys still desstroys Kingslanding, and I get to watch her sit the Iron Throne. 😖
@Kessroy He only sees the past, not the future. It made no sense for him to say that. The writers constantly did this thing where they asked themselves "whats the most quotably in-character thing this character could say right now?" and just did that no matter how out of place or ridiculous it was taken in larger context.
@Kessroy i don't remember that, was that in the show? the only dreams i remember him having were nonsensical.
Remember when the line “winter is coming” was such a well known line in pop-culture and when mentioned everyone knew exactly what you were referencing, even if you didn’t watch the show? Because of this shit this iconic line means absolutely nothing anymore and all it really does is give people PTSD of a horribly written ending
yeah so true
Haven't heard it used in years. It's like D&D got pregnant, were super excited to have the baby, took the best care of it they could while it was an infant, but then once it learned to talk back they killed it because it "wasn't fun anymore."
So very true I have serious trauma from how this show made me feel like they spit on my face, it terrorized my intelligence and broke my heart of disappointment.
@@LizRealGirlBeauty 😬
It’s unbelievable how they just discarded the entire White Walkers plot.
I also never understood grey worm in the end. He actually gains a heart in the later seasons and then decides to kill innocent civilians and poor people even tho that’s what he was against from the beginning. All because he was following his queen. Made no sense
They slaughtered missandei and he had to watch. That made some sense at least, season 8 is still doodoo
What's sad is that the whole series is tainted- if I watched it again, all the way through I'd be thinking 'that part doesn't matter' 'nothing comes of that story arc' 'that prophecy isn't fulfilled' 'they're debating who should be the ruler but it's going to end with your least favourate character'
It has zero rewatch ability
Like Doctor Who, now when I watch it I cant help but think back to the absolute unwatchable garbage it became in the Whitticker Era becuase of f***ing Chibnill.
Like, imagine a Vanpire Series written by Bram Stoker, and than the company fired him and hired Stephenie Meyer. And changes all Vampire Lore to the Twilight Style Vampires, and just retcon absolutely everything and change the tone of the story. This is Chibnill.
Basically Chibnill wrote only like 3 episodes, all of which were terrible in every way. Everyone hated Chibnill and only liked his episodes ironically, a so bad its good kind of thing. Than BBC choose him to be the main writter for 3 bloody seasons, and he retconned everything and trivialized so many plot points.
They also fired the Music director, a blood brilliant one that did an amazing job. Than he got replaced with somebody who can only do subpar ambiant music.

10/10 comment. You’re totally right.
Not to mention the self-destruction of Varys and Littlefinger, the 2 biggest players in the GoT.
These two characters were just too hard to handle for D&D brains
I remember when it was reveal that Littlefinger organized the death of The Hand... And there was a GOT meme when they say that at the end the whole show was the fight of wits between Varys and Littlefinger... And it was for seasons... Until they were relegated to second fiddle and they made so awful and obvious plotting... The show lost two of their best characters with all those changes, and no one replace them... Really sad...
they kinda forgot that they are players
@Carl Sinclair varys was no longer a puzzle piece since season 7, when it was revealed he wants the best for the realm and people, unlike little finger who wanted the power to himself ...and on a distant tangent, hate it when people praising sansa for winning the battle of bastards, when it was little finger who brought the knights...sansa just had a V
Raaa8080 Varys said he was working for the realm in season 1 you idiot

@@exodiatheforbiddenone8228 7 seasons of buildup with the white walkers just for all of it to culminate in one big battle in one episode and the night king dies in the dumbest way possible. It felt like they just threw away that entire storyline to get to who gets the iron throne.

jaime was my favorite character too, and i wanted to throw my tv out the window when he went back to cersei. i told everyone for YEARS that he was going to be the one to kill her. stupid me.
Yeah that was absolutely terrible.
You are not stupid. He will kill her in the books sooner or later
Stupid D and D. The fans wrote a better ending for Jaime than they did.
You’re not stupid, the tv writers D&D are stupid and too blame. Hopefully we get a animated series or something in the future which follows the books properly or atleast does the character arcs justice.
They could have totally made it so he went back for her but finally sees how she's become such a monster that even he can't even save her and leaves her
It was a big mistake like 10 years ago when everyone started praising media for "subverting expectations".
If the twist can be anticipated from the plot's direction and themes, that's not a mistake, that is good. That means it's a good, coherent story.
Subverting those expectations can also be a good thing, if you either 1) subvert common tropes in ways that are logical for your story, or 2) foreshadow a narrative twist subtly enough where it's still there, but may not be apparent on a first watch. 1) is a Ned Stark's death in GoT. 2) is Sixth Sense. The last season (or two) of GoT is just a twist for the sake of a twist, it is the equivalent of wattpad writers throwing a tantrum over someone guessing their ending.
The end of GoT is like when Robot Chicken makes fun of M Night Shamalan when something happens and he pops up to say what a twist
Exactly. Like if I’m at a restaurant and I tell the waiter “just surprise me” and he comes back and gives me a plate filled with literal shit, then yeah I didn’t expect it, it did indeed surprise me, but that doesn’t mean I’ll happily eat and enjoy my plate of shit
You know when emilia Clark can't find the positive side of season 8 no one can
Actually really respect her for a moment of honesty rather than fake shilling
True....
Apparently she was so upset when she read the scripts for the final season she cried, went for a walk, and called friends and family.
@@Sough I mean several of them have had that reaction. Oh hell all of them probably have that reaction, even if they don't say it in front of a camera.
Best season ever!!!! Emilia Clark's demeanor said it all.
First Bran went out the window
Then Tommen went out the window
Then writing went too
Still someone show me how great writing could have saved it with only 6 episodes left.. it couldn't. Especially if they didn't kill off the white walkers so easily

What I find funny is how smart Tyrion is as a drunk in the earlier seasons but gets dumber and dumber as he sobers up lmao
Tyrion fucks up a lot but fixes all his mistakes at last in seasons 5 to 6. In season 7 and 8 I'm still wondering to this day why Dany didn't throw him off the highest roof

He did say "I drink and I know things" so, maybe he actually meant it. He drinks, and then he knows things
Imagine _Game of Thrones_ as if you’re dining at an elegant restaurant. The appetizers are delectable-some of the best food you've ever tasted. The main course is second to none. You’re on cloud nine. Dessert arrives, expecting another hole in one, and it disappoints. No, it's not crummy. It's not on par with what was served before. Now comes the digestif, but instead of the after-dinner drinks, the manager walks up to you and randomly douses you in chocolate syrup.
I'd put it in terms of eating the best food I've ever had. While eating the desert, I suddenly noticing the taste and texture is off, and see I've ate part of a dead cockroach with maggots in it. Proceeds to throw up the whole thing
More like the manager just shits directly onto your plate.
Granted, it’s a very nice plate.

have you tried doing your homework in 30 seconds?

Breaking Bad had the most satisfying ending of all shows. And that series never had any books or material to adapt from. You just need better writers, that's all.
Breaking Bad is also the greatest show of all time.. GoT tried but failed..
There are only 5 characters also and a very common storyline(selling drugs to help your family), GoT is way more complex
@@m_ackerman91 Ah yes breaking bad only has 5 characters. All the other cast were ghosts all along.
@@MrWhite-ru3oz Lmao it says something when people are still pissed about game of thrones

It might be on much bigger scale - but Breaking Bad is far more complex and deep show. you can even make Connection with fucking God or Jesus with some characters. Fucking swimming pools have depth behind them.

@@englishvampirexx Even the rats don't want this show.
Lol remember when sansa was a spoiled brat?
It was a foreshadowing.
I really hate when people say “They ran out of books.” D&D didn’t even adapt the material from the books! If they had the show would’ve been much better and probably could’ve went 11 seasons. They didn’t have to make up nonsense if they just adapted the book material that they had! They didn’t run out of material they just didn’t adapt it. They had more than enough material.
Bad writing is like holes in a ship.
It could be a massive luxurious cruiser, but with enough holes it'll sink real quick taking anything good it has down with it.
Yo, that's a really good analogy!
Godtier analogy
great analogy
It could be a really shitty boat but as long as it doesn’t have holes, it floats
I'm convinced Dany only burned down the city because they thought it would look cool
To be fair it looked really fuckin cool.
@@eonsislept207 it did look cool
But without a real reason
Yep!
they went with the "rule of cool" from pen&papers...... and rolled a nat20
Most of the things that happened... happened because the writers thought it would look cool.
It would have been so cool if Danny gradually went crazy over like 4 more seasons but instead they did it all in 2 episodes
Why would D&D do that to my queen 😔👊🏽
Or even a time jump! Have the last episode or two take place after she’s been queen a few years. But D&D had her lose her mind overnight bc her nephew didn’t want to bone her anymore.
@@bangtanruinedmylifeinabeau5616 because they wanted to work on their fantasy show where the confederacy and slavery still existed. thank god that never worked out.
although i agree it was badly done, i still think there were hints of her insanity all around. first showing the targaryen nature, the ‘flipping a coin’ analogy, then showing the way she often makes mistakes, especially with the ruling of mereen. the way she snapped and burned all the masters, along with the way jorah, barristan, and later tyrion were all trying to suppress her rashest impulses. with all of them gone she faces the final enemy, and therefore snaps on westeros
@@lucasnyman5424 she was definitely headed that way, but they went from gradually ramping up towards The Mad Queen to straight vertical climb into the stratosphere.
This guy did a rewrite of just the Battle of Winterfell episode and the last two episodes that actually makes sense, and fit into the constraints of the short season. It can be done, but D&D weren’t interested in trying.
ua-cam.com/video/UJaI95_ATw0/v-deo.html
The character assassination was unreal. Jon, Dany, and good god Jaime's characters were assassinated beyond repair. The only characters I still liked at the end were literally Theon and Davos. The rest of Westeros could have been killed and I wouldn't have cared.
Arya could have literally no one'd ceresi's ass at any point after returning home and realizing what was at stake. Lmao. It's like THE WORLD IS ENDING THE DEAD ARE HERE. YAY WE WON! To oh yeah, we have to deal with Ceresi.
Literally replace the night king with ceresi and have arya shank/imprison her and then we could have had some actual character building and a legit final battle with massive consequences but also a chance to rebuild wasteros.
God it’s been years and years later and it’s still blowing my mind that this show of all the shows dropped the ball so hard it shattered the show’s entire fandom, popularity, and all credibility. Tragic isn’t even the word.
i have pondered the same tragic reality more than once

now their names will be remembered but for the wrong reasons
@@futuretimetraveller8677 literally that. And look at those guys now, they literally do not get mentioned or heard at ALL anymore. Not only did they destroy this series, they absolutely destroyed their own careers and its fucking astounding how fast that worked.
I’ve heard house of the Dragon is great for the most part and is kinda sewing the gaping chest wound the series left but lord knows it will never be fully healed. This was far too much.
And you know what really caught my eye at the end? When they all laughed at Sam’s suggestion to become more of a council instead of having a king. That moment right there made me sigh and roll my eyes harder than anything because you KNOW that was their “Haha right guys? Riiiiight? That would never make sense or happen in GoT” as if NOW all of sudden their acknowledging the shit their doing. Like sheesh.
SOOO VERY TRUE 😢
I'm the kind of person who rewatch the shows that I love over and over again, and GoT _was_ that kind of show for me. After finishing every season I would start over right from the beginning, except for after season 8. Haven't rewatched it since the season 8 finale, haven't even tried to.
@@hurricanefrid I know that feeling. It's the same for me.
I'd like to rewatch it, but I really cannot get me to do so. Same for the new got show. I cannot watch it.
The "I never really cared for the people" line is where i gave up completely
Right?!
Protecting the f*cking innocents was his whole f*cking deal!!
I knew that this show was dead back in season 7. When John Snow and his merry men go north of the wall to try and find the white walkers to bring one of the dead back. That was absolutely terrible
Me too. I was like "what f is this" it felt as Cersei bewitched Jaime with her vagina.
Made me wanna throw my whole tv away. Just throw it all away. Fkn D&D... 🤬

Bran: "Yes, I can. I'M KING."
"Any man who must say, 'I am the king' is no true king."

Tbf as stupid it was to make bran king that line actually kinda made sense in that context. Grey worm tells them they can pick a king (idk why the biggest lords of westeros suddenly need grey worms approval for aynthing) and then when they do he immediately tries to shit on the first thing the "king" does. It felt like grey worm needs some sort of a reminder that at the end of the day he's a nobody because he was acting like he owns westeros
What bugs me is quote "Wy do you think i came all this way?" As Brans response for Tyrions question if he'll be the king... he doesnt want to be one and he did all that nothing just to be one? I have missed something or i really dont know

2. Tell them she's your queen.

The Knight king? Fuck um
Azora hai? Fuck um

The Knight kings wife; who?
Bran could have filled us in on all this stuff but instead, the writers have him staring at everyone. The only thing he does all season is fly with the ravens and becomes king. Like this video said.
The most interesting character in the story, and they made him useless.
@Kyle Vernon well I guess not everyone can be as uncaring as you bra.

“Danny’s fall to the dark side is more abrupt and jarring than Anakin Skywalker’s. And yet somehow she still has a higher body count.”
This killed me😂😂🤣🤣
It makes me cry and laugh. Anakin started falling to the dark side since episode 2 when he slaughtered a village...but it was years prior. Dany becomes a Sith Lord in one episode and with no time lapse in between.
Just like Daenerys apparently
true. Darth Vader has a pretty low body count. Everbody killed more. Even Brienne killed more.
@@v-mouse You missed the part when Anakin slaughtered an entier village to say such a thing ? The joke about Vader having low body count was compared to Daenerys who killed HUNDREDS OF THOUSAND OF PEOPLE on her dragon while turning dark side in like an hour.

"The writing is bad, that is the only thing wrong with the show." That is the best and most simple explanation for GofT. Everything else in that show was done so well
Yeah it had good actors and loads of money to spend on special effects, however not having authors capable of writing the latter 4 seasons to save their lives is, erm, suboptimal and not so conducive to a good show
@@sieyes9356 Yeah good writing is really hard to do even though you have a good amount of resources, money can't buy intelligence that easy. The directors of the show just made up the plot of the final season because the book material source for the show is not finish yet by the original author.
only the last 2 seasons. The first seasons, especially 1-4, were literally perfect
@@jcavs9847 For sure, I'm with you. I loved that show and many people did. That is why we all got so upset the last few seasons when the show runners trashed it
@@travisoutlaw9511 The writing went to shit in the last few seasons but good god they did the music well
I disagree on the Cersei thing, the Sparrows were a perfect foil for her because the high Sparrow couldnt be corrupted or manipulated through her regular tactics, that's why she had to blow them up, although it would've been more interesting to see her face more consequences as a result of such a bold move but i do think it makes sense why ahe would do it.

Don’t forget that Dumb & Dumber forgot how fast a horse can go. Jamie, Arya and The Hound made it to Kings Landing in the last season in a day. Not to mention Danny’s army was already there.
In the first book it took Robert like a month or more to get to Winterfell with a small escort. Maybe I am wrong and Dany held the castle at siege for a month, maybe Winterfell is all up hill
Nah you can tell it’s been a few weeks cuz of Jon and tyrions beards grew.
A horse and rider can travel appropriately 32 miles per day. The distance from King’s Landing to Winterfell is 1500 miles so it would take about 47 days to travel between them. A group would take longer because they would have to stop more frequently especially if they were pulling coaches or supply wagons.
THANK YOU! I never heard anyone say anything about how fast they travelled, like what did they feed their horses 😂 were the unsullied and dothrakis run nonstop to King’s Landing?
Once Littlefinger died he took his teleportation skills with him.
For real though. In the first seasons people travelled in normal travelling speed but in season 7&8 they just kinda teleported
In hindsight, the moment we saw Emilia and Kit's reactions, we should've known.
Season 1-7: The dead are a really, really big problem!
Season 8: They gone now, lol.
You mean they wrapped up a storyline in the final season of the show?! Those fuckers.
Freys were seen as motherfuckers for 7 seasons, they died in 2 minutes without any expectation, was that a problem ? More than 2 hours have been gave for the preparation and the fight itself of the long night against the dead (episode 2 and 3 of season 8, I don't even mention episode 1), this is enough.
It’s not enough. It’s nowhere near enough. The first two episodes were just people walking and talking. You probably liked it cause you never liked the white walker storyline. There’s a pattern showing with people defending this shit.
@@clem72tro The Freys weren't magical or mysterious. We know most of what's important about the Freys when they were first introduced. We have known practically nothing about the white walkers or Night king besides a few things like them taking the babies and all but we never got a true motive. Sure they said he wants to destroy all life or whatever, but we never actually see that from the Night King.
The Night King was built up since season one - he was seen as impossible to kill and yet he dies on the very first attack south by one blow to the chest in the middle of his undead army.
@JamieLan2011And if the White Walkers are defeated in one night in the book, what are you going to say about that?

@@DalYeosin It can make you think so differently that you decide to nuke an entire city with dragon fire? The thing she never wanted to do in the first place? Sure, why not.
@@allthatishere If I remember correctly, then earlier she had no problem with imposing her will on other people and that's exactly what she never wanted to do at the very beginning. But she got stronger from season to season, had more and more people by her side and such a force with dragons behind her can change all thoughts. When she touched the iron throne at the very end, she didn't even understand what she was doing. The building in which the throne was was smashed and the walls around it were torn open. Nevertheless, she looked at the throne with satisfaction and that should make it clear to the audience that she was only fixated on one thing the whole time and in the end she didn't care how she got there. I'm 100% sure that if Jon Snow hadn't killed her then she would have executed him sometime in the future because, like Tyrion said, he would always pose a threat to her. So it was a matter of time before either of them died.
@@DalYeosin don't defend this dogshit of a last season
It was clear from the start that she was not about "breaking the chains" but to sit her but on the iron throne.
But it was badly done AND so hastily that most can't relate.
It's almost impressive how just about every character was ruined in one season. I'll always love the hound though. It's just too bad I don't even feel like starting it again and to get let down again.
We waited eight seasons for Jon Snow to be sent right back to the nights watch, after he died for them left them, after he was crowned kind in the north, after he became Aegon Targaeryen the heir to the seven kingdoms. The biggest reveal in the show and the explaining of Roberts Rebellion doesn't matter because democracy kicked in!! Honestly the slap in the face to Jon's arc was the worst I've ever seen for all his pain and suffering they reset his entire fucking character
* to the Night's Watch that has no more meaning to exist.
I wasn't a big fan of Jon, but his arc ruined the whole universe. He got resurrected - true resurrection, not wight shit, but full reanimation of mind, body and spirit. That's deity level shit. Why would he be revived like that just to kill one woman? The only reason that a god would revive a person like that is to end an existential threat that no one else could.
