@LibtardsStillCant SilenceMe20 - It's not necessarily *good* but at the very least it's an attempt to save their future. Hollywood doesn't like being shit-talked, even on blatantly bad products
@LibtardsStillCant SilenceMe20 Mmm because still contractual obligations...

But since cast were loved, people still watched the season even if they say it was 🤢 from the beginning. Same happened with StarWars sequels. Mark Hamill did the same.

@LibtardsStillCant SilenceMe20 It's to preserve their career. Actors live or die on whether they get invited to cast in another film. If an actor has a reputation for publicly blaming the directors, no director would want to hire them. Actors are not there to write the script or comment on the result, they are there to act.
It’s hard not to take it personal and hate them knowing D&D almost single handedly botched the entire show… They didn’t want to hire more writers. They didn’t want to pass the show to someone else for more seasons. They didn’t want to stick to George’s story notes. They didn’t want to follow through on all the foreshadowing… for any character. D&Ds ambitions and lack of writing chops are what killed this show.
And the one "foreshadowing", if I can even call it that way, that they did follow on resulted in one of the most mortifying examples of character assassination know to mankind. Hell, Daenerys isn't even my favorite character, that goes to Tywin Lannister, but she was a strong character. Besides, one thing to note - Foreshadowing is an indication of future event from a smaller event from the past, not significant when first introduced. Foreshadowing IS NOT reasoning for future event to occur. The reasoning gets delegated to other scenes and discussion on character. If you find yourself using small piece of foreshadowing to solely excuse an event in the future, you likely became a hack writer who tries to get a payoff you want but cannot have. Other then that, dumb and dumber forgot or ignored contextual explanation for the scenes they tried to pass off as "foreshadowing". Hell, and episode itself had a montage of quotes that'd even indicate it... Method itself is one of the slimiest imaginable.
There's also the problem of Lack of source material...they could've just postponed S06-08 until GRRM finished his books...but that would probably take another couple of years.
My friend said she stopped at season 6. She forgot there was 7 and 8. And since I told her it’s a bit messy, she said she’ll just let that be the ending for her. Daenerys with her full force fleet, 2 powerful Houses, and 3 full grown Dragons. Kinda an epic ending if you’d ask me.
I did the same I try watch ses 7 but I stopped it was too much cringe I could not handle it after that i rewatched ses 1 to 6 multiple times and if you don’t watch 7 and 8 it’s the best show ever . Because of the show and LML and Preston jacobs I read the books and it’s the best thing ever . Because I am not really a book reader but this book series is soooo good amazing
@@kreterakete who should’ve zigzag? Rickon Stark? I personally think that it would be useless. Ramsey Bolton was a known great archer. He hunts in the forest, and we saw also, that he could do it while on the horse. The kid was running on an open field, so even if he “zigzag” he could still hit him.
4:44 the way he's talking so passionately and then has to pause to regulate what he's going to say about D&D will never not be hilarious to me. "Because of course they're *eyebrow shots up* grEAT screenwriters..."
Conleth Hill's barely audible, dismissive tooth sucking, as if he was just reminded of something bad tasting in his mouth that he was trying to forget and Liam Cunningham immediately picking up on it and laughing while Bran does damage control is great.
One has to really respect the GoT cast of actors: even in the age of "your contract says you have to be dishonest with the public", most of these celebrities were SO attached to their characters and the grand story they were a part of, and so dedicated to treating the loyal fans right, that they basically all publicly shat all over D&D's garbagefire despite the risk to their careers.
All these years later and I'm still mad about it. And as good as House of the Dragon currently is, just knowing that it ends up in Season 8 of GoT makes me so much less enthusiastic about seeing where the story is going.
House of Dragons itself already has an end of the story, so I'm not too concerned about them fucking it up, because they literally have the guidelines this time
Everyone wondering why it went bad. The author of the books wrote everything 1-4, the directors failed so hard. I don’t blame emelia one bit, her whole character said she would never do what her father did and become a tyrant. She did nothing of it leading up and then bam, finally gets to kings landing and loses it?
I mean, book readers will know that there's a lot more foreshadowing and subtext with Dany, with the implication that she is literally part-dragon, e.g. blood of the dragon, and juggles her draconic nature in addition to her higher self. You can't really blame a dragon for being a dragon, though. They're not evil; they are what they are. The fact that Dany IS more than that is what makes it interesting. She's definitely going to do dark things/act as a conqueror in some context, but there's going to be serious internal conflict, which is what makes it interesting. It's not going to be stupid, ridiculous, unrepentant genocide for no reasons with almost no sensical character development. Given D&D supposedly had knowledge/plans of Dany unravelling a bit, even from the early seasons, the whole situation makes no sense with regards to how they built (and destroyed) her.
@@michaelafischer6177 There's even foreshadowing in the show but you need to build on that. You can't expect people to take the few isolated instances in the show where she goes overboard (and those moments were always grey rather than outright evil) and ignore that the vast majority of her actions are good. But D&D wanted it to be a twist so they lay none of the necessary groundwork and just point to those few instances of Danaerys oversteps as proof that we should accept her turning into Timur.
After watching Season 8 again and knowing what’s coming, it’s easier to spot the places where they did foreshadow things. Tyrion naming Bran King came completely out of the blue for me at the time, but Tyrion sat with Bran in Winterfell and asked to hear his story. As for Dany’s “fall” it kinda makes sense, it was just too rushed and felt too awkward. People like Olena Tyrell were pushing her to do monstrous things back in Season 7 but that only happened in one conversation. Dany’s snap came because she went from being the Breaker of Chains and beloved in Essos to being feared and ostracized in Westeros, and over the course of her wars, she lost everyone that grounded her. She stopped trusting Tyrion and Varys, Jorah died, Missandei died, 2 of her Dragons died, her Dothraki were “wiped out” but then came back for some reason, and of course she fell in love with Jon but he couldn’t handle the whole aunt-nephew thing and pushed her away. She was isolated and alone. Her last friends were Grey Worm and Drogon, not exactly what I’d call level-headed advisors. TBH, her fall makes sense when written out, but it REALLY NEEDED another Season or two to drive home her isolation and eventual snap.
You have to keep in mind the kind of dangerous game they're playing. Their careers are all at stake because if they hate on the season, Hollywood and/or directors lose confidence, if they praise it, fans lose confidence.
I get that D&D worked for about a decade on the show and maybe thought 'we actually also wanna do different stuff' and i fully support that desire. However the solution is not to speed through. They could've tried to negotiate a change of writers and slowly phase themselves out of the project and then leave it to new writers who would've had settled into the Game of Thrones routine alongside GRRM's guidance. It could've worked. But I still don't quite understand why they decided to rush through the last bit, they had a theoretically fail-proof IP on their hands. GOT was a cultural phenomenon that even I as someone who didnt watch it couldn't escape. So to see all that time, money, effort, cast&crew etc. + already established success go to waste seems so unbelievable.
Because especially Benioff is a vain bastard. I mean, they both are assholes, but he is worse than Weiss. They didn't want anyone else get the fame for beimg the guys behind GoT, especially not when those people would be the ones doing the finale. I get wjy they'd do that, but the fact that they didn't make it a quality ending, is the offensive part here. Ending it was fine, but not the way they did it and not for those reasons.
Dick and Dom thought the shows success was because of them. They got big headed. They would have never just handed it off to actual good writers. I mean, George RR Martin wanted to come back and do a couple more seasons after the 8th. But D&D were blatantly not going to let that happen, they genuinly believed Game Of Thrones was theirs now lmao
I think what Nikolai says at around the 4 minute mark is rather brilliant/poignant, as a reflection on acting: Dave and Dan were SO set on subverting expectations for cheap shock points, but...as an ACTOR, how are you supposed to act under those conditions? How can you believably inhabit a role when you've been told there's still no real plans in terms of what your character is supposed to be developing TOWARDS? Like, YEAH, that WOULD make playing the character believably understandably REALLY HARD 😆.
Normally the problem is that the responsible people drag out a series so much that it gets but, just to make money. - But the Game of Thrones ones thought "how about we ruin it by making it super short and rushed for no reason?"... :-( Everyone knows they would've gotten the money to make a season 9 and all having 10 episodes. And the actors would have loved it. And HBO would have still gotten loads of money. Makes all no sense!
I think D&D are mos def to blame: Season 1 _A Game of Thrones_ (700 pages) Season 2 _A Clash of Kings_ (770 pages) Season 3 _A Storm of Swords_ (1000/2 pages) Season 4 _A Storm of Swords_ (1000/2 pages) Season 5 _A Feast for Crows_ *AND* _A Dance with Dragons_ *AND* winging it from there on out... (1800+ pages) They made money for HBO, they could've even taken more time, a season every 2 years, not each year. It's totally normal. It's incompetency. :-( Like Season 5 in 2016 instead of 2015, season 6 in 2018, 7 in 2020, 8 in 2022, 9 in 2024. Leaves also enough room for GRRM, enough room for the actors' other projects etc. (But rather they expanded the budget for pompous explosions...)
D&D don't know how to write. 4 more seasons would be 4 more terrible seasons. Remember, the half of GoT where they start departing from the books and have to create stories (s5-8) is bad, simple as that. We were distracted by the glowing fantasy element for a while, but when they decided to supress it it became obvious that there is no substance in this story. Everything after that amazing end of s4 should be deleted from existence.
They cut the series short because they thought that they were doing a Star Wars movie but they were dropped from that because everyone hated what they did to GOT.
This is probably the best that could have happened, rather than D&D wasting our time with more seasons. They haven't done anything since then because no one wants to hire them. And they actually bribed HBO from the beginning to give them the GoT show. They completely bombed the first pilot episode and wasted 10 million dollars. They bribed HBO execs to give them a second chance because if they don't then people will know that you hired a couple of incompetent fools. They're are slimy gits who don't deserve the reigns of power in film.
it fustrates me so much thinking of what we could've had... if there was 10 + seasons... the show would literally still be airing right now :/ and all the build up and character development wouldve been so amazing to see...
Now that it has been a few years I really want to know what the actors really thought about season 7 and 8. Are they as disappointed with what D & D did with the series or not. I also want to know why HBO didn't fire D & D, especially if both HBO and Martin wanted more seasons.
The cast is probably under some NDA type stuff where they can’t bad mouth the show publicly. It also doesn’t look professional and could harm their career.
I can’t imagine HBO wouldn’t have fired them and gotten new people in their place had HBO been able. I think their contract allowed them exclusive rights to make the series should they so desire.
George's quote in there was interesting. The internet was able to "read" the foreshadowing so the show runners felt they needed change midstream, leaving many plot holes and dead ends. Should have just let the internet write the show.
I love Emilias reaction. She's being sarcastic in a way that fans will love her more and film execs won't hate her, except D&D of course. They're rotting in Hollywood limbo because no one wants them.
There was a point in the series where the actors actually had a better understanding of the story may have been able to produce a better ending themselves 😅
Someone needs to remake the last few seasons( different directors this time) it would be massive. If they can flog a dead horse with marvel why not the most popular show In history that EVERYONE hated the ending of. Why have it end at all keep it going and they all have jobs for years to come and if the actors need a break sometimes have their character leave for a while. INSANE the amount of potential this series had and they completely wrecked it.
The actors have aged now and be very hard to get them back I’ve always said it will be remade in years to come just as everything else is only we hopefully won’t be saying “it’s not as good as the original “
@@Idur88 Yeah, I could see another series being green-lit in a decade or so once there is possibly more source material to work with and D&Ds adaptation has kinda faded from memory. I have a hard time believing it will get the same huge budget or talent attached as the OG Thrones tho. Honestly, I think you should be careful what you wish for cause I could easily see the next ASoIaF adaptation being more like the Netflix’s Witcher, or the Rings of Power than the original seasons of Gambo
hilarious how the game of thrones show was like the biggest influencial thing since it aired and the last season killed EVERY MENTION of it literally sending it into obscurity
The fact that most of them insinuated it was bad tells a lot. Keep in mind they worked with these people for 10 years, they were like a family and they could not just throw them under the bus on air for a presenter they hardly knew. Add to that the fact that no actor should badmouth previous colleagues as it will hurt their career in the future. By insinuating you can tell they think it was bad.
Yeh and if any the actors didn’t want to so what🤷♂️Carry on like GOT killed off the main character in season 1 a couple characters don’t mean shit in something like game of thrones where there’s diff story lines everywhere they fucked it so bad I think ppl in a high school English class cud write a better ending
“Ya the 6-7 seasons of material we ripped of from R.R Martin wasn’t good enough, we didn’t want to do the obvious. So we just made some shit up and ignored all our actors. Aren’t we geniuses?”
What hurts the most is how 2 people could ruin the work of thousands. I mean, George wanted to go 13 seasons. The world was in it, HBO prepared to throw all the money they had at it, the actors had invested years on building the characters, hundreds of extremely talented people made the costumes and the sets, the music, the cgi. This could have been the best show of all time. Instead me, as a long time hard core got fan, can’t even watch it anymore at all, because it just hurts me to think of how it ended. I am so sorry for all people involved.❤️
George is also to blame. Not to defend what D&D ended up doing but they never singed up to write the story themselfe. It was a book adaptation and George failed to deliver the source material which they were supposed to work with.
I would have liked to see Daenerys become a good queen for Westeros, but at THE VERY LAST seconds of the whole series, she has this one disturbing line that hint to her family's madness, and then it goes black.
This shit is genius , watching them be truthful yet subtle yet not subtle straight up saying disappointing then epic then “one of those “ chuckles, pure gold.
This Peoble are ACTORS some of the best on the Planet that get paid for the Show and they could not hide how disgusting they saw Season 8. Shows again HOW bad it was.
"We hear you, but we don't care." I think that makes people even angrier. Like if you TRIED and failed, or used your resources and failed... That would be one thing. They essentially drove a truck off a bridge, looking and smiling smugly at the passenger (fans and actors), on the way off the bridge. GAWD even 5 years later that memory infuriates me.
I wouldn’t be mad at all if when George finally finishes writing the next book they just do it over either s08 and on with the same cast or recast from s01 but actually follow the books more
I think it would've been cool to have 11-13 seasons, however this couldn't be done, if Martin doesn't finish the damnnn boooks. Or at least put him on the writing team so he can give source material.

They didn't listen to their actors...
If I saw them I'd have to try very hard to not kick them both in the nuts
@@seeker296 That'd be fine if they were competent
There's also the problem of Lack of source material...they could've just postponed S06-08 until GRRM finished his books...but that would probably take another couple of years.
“Best season ever”
oh god the sarcasm
Guys it’s hard to make out but there is like a red dot, kinda like some type of laser moving around Peters forehead. Weird 🤷♂️
Yes I see it too!
😂😂
someone pls explain this joke lol
@@nunyabidness6046 They’re holding Peter at gunpoint to say good things abt S8.
My friend said she stopped at season 6. She forgot there was 7 and 8.
And since I told her it’s a bit messy, she said she’ll just let that be the ending for her.
Daenerys with her full force fleet, 2 powerful Houses, and 3 full grown Dragons.
Kinda an epic ending if you’d ask me.
I did the same I try watch ses 7 but I stopped it was too much cringe I could not handle it after that i rewatched ses 1 to 6 multiple times and if you don’t watch 7 and 8 it’s the best show ever . Because of the show and LML and Preston jacobs I read the books and it’s the best thing ever . Because I am not really a book reader but this book series is soooo good amazing
They should have just left it up to interpretation there, lol. We could all just assume Dany wins yay hooray the end
I stopped exactly at hodor’s episode and didn’t look back :p was nice
He should have zigzagged to fool da arrow. That’s where it went south.
@@kreterakete who should’ve zigzag? Rickon Stark?
I personally think that it would be useless. Ramsey Bolton was a known great archer. He hunts in the forest, and we saw also, that he could do it while on the horse.
The kid was running on an open field, so even if he “zigzag” he could still hit him.
4:44 the way he's talking so passionately and then has to pause to regulate what he's going to say about D&D will never not be hilarious to me. "Because of course they're *eyebrow shots up* grEAT screenwriters..."
Gotta love Kit Harrington realizing he's done an interview oopsie, fixing it and then realizing he's not sure if he wanted to fix that.
D&D were the real winter that came to freeze millions of fans' hearts.
Yeah but it was Martin who whored his work in the first place
I would have loved if it cut from Peter emotionlessly praising d&d to Sansa saying Joffrey is her beloved
I wouldn't call it emotionless lol. There's definitely an aura of seething resentment in his tone of voice and subsequent eye roll
Holy fuck the repressed frustration in the end from Nikolaj 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Emilia Clarke will alweys be muh kween. I love how she doesn’t hold back.
The clip at 1:04 is a classic example of an entire dialogue being exchanged with a single facial gesture and eye contact. Fucking hilarious
“Your character was botched more than any other character go on.”
Conleth Hill's barely audible, dismissive tooth sucking, as if he was just reminded of something bad tasting in his mouth that he was trying to forget and Liam Cunningham immediately picking up on it and laughing while Bran does damage control is great.
Emilia is funny. She seems to find it impossible to put up a front or lie.
She pretended to vomit! It's hilarious.
One has to really respect the GoT cast of actors: even in the age of "your contract says you have to be dishonest with the public", most of these celebrities were SO attached to their characters and the grand story they were a part of, and so dedicated to treating the loyal fans right, that they basically all publicly shat all over D&D's garbagefire despite the risk to their careers.
Emilia and Conleth are the GOATs tho, just straight up admitted how much the ending sucked without sarcasm
All these years later and I'm still mad about it. And as good as House of the Dragon currently is, just knowing that it ends up in Season 8 of GoT makes me so much less enthusiastic about seeing where the story is going.
House of Dragons itself already has an end of the story, so I'm not too concerned about them fucking it up, because they literally have the guidelines this time
Just think it ends with the books ending, if it ever arrives.
No need to. Fire and Blood is already finished.
Is there no way we could petition HBO to remake seasons 7-8 and continue onto season 12?
@@connorandthesource5385 Why, force the actors especially like Kit Harington to overwork for our own satisfaction? It's done. Leave the actors alone
Everyone wondering why it went bad. The author of the books wrote everything 1-4, the directors failed so hard. I don’t blame emelia one bit, her whole character said she would never do what her father did and become a tyrant. She did nothing of it leading up and then bam, finally gets to kings landing and loses it?
I mean, book readers will know that there's a lot more foreshadowing and subtext with Dany, with the implication that she is literally part-dragon, e.g. blood of the dragon, and juggles her draconic nature in addition to her higher self. You can't really blame a dragon for being a dragon, though. They're not evil; they are what they are. The fact that Dany IS more than that is what makes it interesting. She's definitely going to do dark things/act as a conqueror in some context, but there's going to be serious internal conflict, which is what makes it interesting. It's not going to be stupid, ridiculous, unrepentant genocide for no reasons with almost no sensical character development. Given D&D supposedly had knowledge/plans of Dany unravelling a bit, even from the early seasons, the whole situation makes no sense with regards to how they built (and destroyed) her.
@@michaelafischer6177 There's even foreshadowing in the show but you need to build on that. You can't expect people to take the few isolated instances in the show where she goes overboard (and those moments were always grey rather than outright evil) and ignore that the vast majority of her actions are good. But D&D wanted it to be a twist so they lay none of the necessary groundwork and just point to those few instances of Danaerys oversteps as proof that we should accept her turning into Timur.
After watching Season 8 again and knowing what’s coming, it’s easier to spot the places where they did foreshadow things. Tyrion naming Bran King came completely out of the blue for me at the time, but Tyrion sat with Bran in Winterfell and asked to hear his story. As for Dany’s “fall” it kinda makes sense, it was just too rushed and felt too awkward. People like Olena Tyrell were pushing her to do monstrous things back in Season 7 but that only happened in one conversation. Dany’s snap came because she went from being the Breaker of Chains and beloved in Essos to being feared and ostracized in Westeros, and over the course of her wars, she lost everyone that grounded her. She stopped trusting Tyrion and Varys, Jorah died, Missandei died, 2 of her Dragons died, her Dothraki were “wiped out” but then came back for some reason, and of course she fell in love with Jon but he couldn’t handle the whole aunt-nephew thing and pushed her away. She was isolated and alone. Her last friends were Grey Worm and Drogon, not exactly what I’d call level-headed advisors. TBH, her fall makes sense when written out, but it REALLY NEEDED another Season or two to drive home her isolation and eventual snap.
No one has ever blamed her...
I mean you see the foreshadowing when she watches her brother burn to death....
Honestly, I don't care about professionalism here. S7 and 8 was absolute shit and I won't blame any actor at GOT for admitting that.
I don't think anyone can fairly blame the cast - they were really dropped in it
@@jameshetherington1 Oh, 100% obviously. They were just doing their job.
The studio would though...
You have to keep in mind the kind of dangerous game they're playing. Their careers are all at stake because if they hate on the season, Hollywood and/or directors lose confidence, if they praise it, fans lose confidence.
I get that D&D worked for about a decade on the show and maybe thought 'we actually also wanna do different stuff' and i fully support that desire. However the solution is not to speed through. They could've tried to negotiate a change of writers and slowly phase themselves out of the project and then leave it to new writers who would've had settled into the Game of Thrones routine alongside GRRM's guidance. It could've worked. But I still don't quite understand why they decided to rush through the last bit, they had a theoretically fail-proof IP on their hands. GOT was a cultural phenomenon that even I as someone who didnt watch it couldn't escape. So to see all that time, money, effort, cast&crew etc. + already established success go to waste seems so unbelievable.
Because especially Benioff is a vain bastard. I mean, they both are assholes, but he is worse than Weiss. They didn't want anyone else get the fame for beimg the guys behind GoT, especially not when those people would be the ones doing the finale. I get wjy they'd do that, but the fact that they didn't make it a quality ending, is the offensive part here. Ending it was fine, but not the way they did it and not for those reasons.
Dick and Dom thought the shows success was because of them. They got big headed. They would have never just handed it off to actual good writers. I mean, George RR Martin wanted to come back and do a couple more seasons after the 8th. But D&D were blatantly not going to let that happen, they genuinly believed Game Of Thrones was theirs now lmao
I think what Nikolai says at around the 4 minute mark is rather brilliant/poignant, as a reflection on acting: Dave and Dan were SO set on subverting expectations for cheap shock points, but...as an ACTOR, how are you supposed to act under those conditions? How can you believably inhabit a role when you've been told there's still no real plans in terms of what your character is supposed to be developing TOWARDS? Like, YEAH, that WOULD make playing the character believably understandably REALLY HARD 😆.
Are dave and dan jewosh?
He was looking for ‘epically disappointing!.
Normally the problem is that the responsible people drag out a series so much that it gets but, just to make money. - But the Game of Thrones ones thought "how about we ruin it by making it super short and rushed for no reason?"... :-(
Everyone knows they would've gotten the money to make a season 9 and all having 10 episodes. And the actors would have loved it. And HBO would have still gotten loads of money. Makes all no sense!
I think D&D are mos def to blame:
Season 1 _A Game of Thrones_ (700 pages)
Season 2 _A Clash of Kings_ (770 pages)
Season 3 _A Storm of Swords_ (1000/2 pages)
Season 4 _A Storm of Swords_ (1000/2 pages)
Season 5 _A Feast for Crows_ *AND* _A Dance with Dragons_ *AND* winging it from there on out... (1800+ pages)
They made money for HBO, they could've even taken more time, a season every 2 years, not each year. It's totally normal. It's incompetency. :-( Like Season 5 in 2016 instead of 2015, season 6 in 2018, 7 in 2020, 8 in 2022, 9 in 2024. Leaves also enough room for GRRM, enough room for the actors' other projects etc. (But rather they expanded the budget for pompous explosions...)
D&D don't know how to write. 4 more seasons would be 4 more terrible seasons. Remember, the half of GoT where they start departing from the books and have to create stories (s5-8) is bad, simple as that. We were distracted by the glowing fantasy element for a while, but when they decided to supress it it became obvious that there is no substance in this story. Everything after that amazing end of s4 should be deleted from existence.
The writers were just too brilliant for that
They cut the series short because they thought that they were doing a Star Wars movie but they were dropped from that because everyone hated what they did to GOT.
This is probably the best that could have happened, rather than D&D wasting our time with more seasons. They haven't done anything since then because no one wants to hire them. And they actually bribed HBO from the beginning to give them the GoT show. They completely bombed the first pilot episode and wasted 10 million dollars. They bribed HBO execs to give them a second chance because if they don't then people will know that you hired a couple of incompetent fools. They're are slimy gits who don't deserve the reigns of power in film.
Nathalie really tried to keep Emilia in check. Bless her.
I truly loved all the great epic battles with The "Golden Company". Especially The Giant Elephant's Battles. Too bad that all took place "Off Screen".
'There are no better writers in television than David and Dan'
- Vince Gilligan left the chat🙄
bravo vince
it fustrates me so much thinking of what we could've had... if there was 10 + seasons... the show would literally still be airing right now :/ and all the build up and character development wouldve been so amazing to see...
It’s hilarious. D&D prematurely abandoned Game of Thrones for a Star Wars gig. Then Star Wars fires them for making such crappy final GoT seasons.
I love how Emilia Clarke basically said the final season was dogshit and people thought she was messing with us.
1:04 this one is definitely the funniest knowing how vocal conleth was about his dislike for the writing 😂😂
Now that it has been a few years I really want to know what the actors really thought about season 7 and 8. Are they as disappointed with what D & D did with the series or not. I also want to know why HBO didn't fire D & D, especially if both HBO and Martin wanted more seasons.
they created the show. maybe they still trusted them to deliver
The cast is probably under some NDA type stuff where they can’t bad mouth the show publicly. It also doesn’t look professional and could harm their career.
I can’t imagine HBO wouldn’t have fired them and gotten new people in their place had HBO been able. I think their contract allowed them exclusive rights to make the series should they so desire.
@@josephsherby you probably right
Haven’t you seen the video?
Peter dinklage looking dead into the camera and saying the writers are the best is absolutely awesome
The fact that the actors weren't told what direction their characters were going in says it all.
disappointing... ehm... epic.
"We don't care." What sad sacks.
George's quote in there was interesting. The internet was able to "read" the foreshadowing so the show runners felt they needed change midstream, leaving many plot holes and dead ends. Should have just let the internet write the show.
But I dont get the clip from the resurrection. I think even in the books there is foreshadowing that Jon will not die forever yet?
Kit's the realest dude ever.
0:41 ...I also had the same feeling ...
of vomiting
Season 8 was so bad I immediately canceled my hbo subscription with no desire to watch any repeats or future GoT shows...
I didn't even finish it...I couldn't bring myself to finish the show. I still haven't gone back.
After season 8 I was disappointed so I went back to the best series on HBO for the 100th time probably Band Of Brothers.
@@Lisztomaniac1022 The Pacific is pretty close if not as good. Chernobyl is also awesome.
Why’d u buy hbo just for got the fuck
Don't watch HotD, it has zero interesting characters and simply has a non-compelling plot.
0:43 Her smile after that, she gives off massive troll vibes and I love it
I love Emilias reaction. She's being sarcastic in a way that fans will love her more and film execs won't hate her, except D&D of course. They're rotting in Hollywood limbo because no one wants them.
Imagine a season being so bad that it killed the love people had for the entire series
Nikolaj fought tooth and nail and they still rebuffed him, God damn it
7 hells, it has been 3 years!? I can still feel my heartache.
Davos to Varys there lol he knows how pissed he was with how they handled his character
Just imagine if Jon Snow ended up claiming his right to the throne. Either alongside Danaerys or after she dies in some way.
There was a point in the series where the actors actually had a better understanding of the story may have been able to produce a better ending themselves 😅
Someone needs to remake the last few seasons( different directors this time) it would be massive. If they can flog a dead horse with marvel why not the most popular show In history that EVERYONE hated the ending of. Why have it end at all keep it going and they all have jobs for years to come and if the actors need a break sometimes have their character leave for a while. INSANE the amount of potential this series had and they completely wrecked it.
The actors have aged now and be very hard to get them back I’ve always said it will be remade in years to come just as everything else is only we hopefully won’t be saying “it’s not as good as the original “
Which is impossible to be worse given what the original was last 2 seasons
@@Idur88 Yeah, I could see another series being green-lit in a decade or so once there is possibly more source material to work with and D&Ds adaptation has kinda faded from memory. I have a hard time believing it will get the same huge budget or talent attached as the OG Thrones tho. Honestly, I think you should be careful what you wish for cause I could easily see the next ASoIaF adaptation being more like the Netflix’s Witcher, or the Rings of Power than the original seasons of Gambo
Man the last season sucks but the actors are top tier i love every single one of them and that's rare in television
hilarious how the game of thrones show was like the biggest influencial thing since it aired and the last season killed EVERY MENTION of it
literally sending it into obscurity
The random laughing just fucking kills me 🤣
The fact that most of them insinuated it was bad tells a lot. Keep in mind they worked with these people for 10 years, they were like a family and they could not just throw them under the bus on air for a presenter they hardly knew. Add to that the fact that no actor should badmouth previous colleagues as it will hurt their career in the future. By insinuating you can tell they think it was bad.
I really adore Emilia and Kit's honesty. hats off.
The show ending with the 8th season broke my heart.
I m sure all of the actors would have been down to tell the story to end with 5 more seasons.
Yeh and if any the actors didn’t want to so what🤷♂️Carry on like GOT killed off the main character in season 1 a couple characters don’t mean shit in something like game of thrones where there’s diff story lines everywhere they fucked it so bad I think ppl in a high school English class cud write a better ending
Although D&D kinda forgot about the fans they certainly haven't forgotten about them
Knowing that the actors were disappointed as well, brought me some closure.
Kit saying "Disappointing" will never not make me laugh
This is equivalent of Mark Hamill’s press tour for the Last Jedi.
“Ya the 6-7 seasons of material we ripped of from R.R Martin wasn’t good enough, we didn’t want to do the obvious. So we just made some shit up and ignored all our actors. Aren’t we geniuses?”
What hurts the most is how 2 people could ruin the work of thousands. I mean, George wanted to go 13 seasons. The world was in it, HBO prepared to throw all the money they had at it, the actors had invested years on building the characters, hundreds of extremely talented people made the costumes and the sets, the music, the cgi. This could have been the best show of all time. Instead me, as a long time hard core got fan, can’t even watch it anymore at all, because it just hurts me to think of how it ended.
I am so sorry for all people involved.❤️
George is also to blame. Not to defend what D&D ended up doing but they never singed up to write the story themselfe. It was a book adaptation and George failed to deliver the source material which they were supposed to work with.
Sad that one of the greatest tv shows ever is now just becoming remembered for its last awful 8th season.
It's funny how even the actors didnt like the final season, yet there are still clowns who are defending it and calling it good lol.
I would have liked to see Daenerys become a good queen for Westeros, but at THE VERY LAST seconds of the whole series, she has this one disturbing line that hint to her family's madness, and then it goes black.
"Greyjoys, Martells, etc have all rebelled"
"Ill burn them all"
Cut to black
1:35 Thanks Kit for being straight up with us.
Peter gave the answer of someone who is sick to death of answering that question.
.
This shit is genius , watching them be truthful yet subtle yet not subtle straight up saying disappointing then epic then “one of those “ chuckles, pure gold.
Peter Dinklage definitely had someone pointing a gun at him behind a camera
Don’t forget HBO offered and kept trying to get them to do like 10-12 episodes and they refused saying that they only needed 8.
This Peoble are ACTORS some of the best on the Planet that get paid for the Show and they could not hide how disgusting they saw Season 8.
Shows again HOW bad it was.
Oh the greatest show ever for about 6 seasons
@Deadpoppin 5 was still way above average for a TV show 8/10, compare season 5 GoT to Rings Of Power for example.
" we hear you, we respect you, we don't care."
The way they said "Best season ever" in more and more obviously sarcastic way is killing me
the actors cared more than the showrunners did
I like how Kit says "one of those ones" even after the interviewer made him realise he shouldn't be saying that. 😂😂😂
"We hear you, but we don't care."
I think that makes people even angrier.
Like if you TRIED and failed, or used your resources and failed... That would be one thing.
They essentially drove a truck off a bridge, looking and smiling smugly at the passenger (fans and actors), on the way off the bridge.
GAWD even 5 years later that memory infuriates me.
D&D will go down as the greatest jokes in television history. As soon as they ran out of source material their lack of writing talent started to show.
D&D full form is Dumb and dumber brothers.😂😂
Three of the main actors basically said the final season would be BS. How did we not see it coming
I love how the more seasoned actors are the ones who really don't give a fuck and just laugh at the ridiculousness.
I wouldn’t be mad at all if when George finally finishes writing the next book they just do it over either s08 and on with the same cast or recast from s01 but actually follow the books more
The cast deserved far better.
Everything the producers thought it's right, it was wrong. They did things dirty. Everything.
that first clip made me so fucking sad. the potential
Disappointing or epic. One of those ones.
epicly dissapointing
Disappointing in epic proportions
I think it would've been cool to have 11-13 seasons, however this couldn't be done, if Martin doesn't finish the damnnn boooks. Or at least put him on the writing team so he can give source material.
They should’ve handed it over to sir George himself.
I hope Dinklage feels safe from the HBO snipers this many years later
