It is suposed to be the end of the greatest show ever and nobody really seems to care... I think everybody is busy writing their final takes tbh. Because of the path of the show, the torrent of articles will naturally be right after the shoe drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt there will be one for the books, either. We just don't know how unhappy — yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be a superhero movie, but it can deliver everything GOT should. Meh Avengers ending sucked. Time travel nonsense is horrible. As soon as you think 2 seconds into the plot there's giant holes in it. They even bashed back to the future for shitty "time travel paradoxes" when they used the same plot hole crap in their own movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. the avengers avoided the problems with time travel by saying that any changes in the timeline create alternate universes. So whatever they did in the past has no consequence in their future. That is why they need to act in the future intead of simply killing baby thanos. But the point is that it wasn t what people were expecting, it had drama, satisfying action, satisfying endings for several characters and sad endings for others ( it was a good bittersweet), everyone mattered... Honestly, endgame made people feel what GOT s8 should make people feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not be too rough on a ten-year-old boy who wanted to be a knight but was trapped in his body with incredible untrained abilities and no one to tell him right and wrong. Or maybe it's just the privilege of power. I'll take Bran as his world's ultimate saviour a million times before I'd trust a flaming Targaryen not to burn down that world. Tragically but predictably, she cannot be trusted with that power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, endgame made people feel what GOT s8 should make people feel. It was exactly what people were expecting.. a huge plot hole caused by "not time travel, just traveling through time via something something hand wave bob particles" They created huge issues with a 4 year gap, random people just appearing.. where? Where they poofed from 4 years ago? Mid air since they were on a plane? Over the ocean aaaaand splash if they were in a boat? What if they were banging thier spouse when they poofed? Did they reappear in that spot naked 4 years later? Thats just from a quick 2 seconds of pondering. Its a huge gigantic cluster of a plot hole mess =0 Granted I did enjoy the movie.. I just hate time travel as a magic fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel confident that during and after the finale the number will go up. Let's have the Kit in the North have the last word here, as is only right and just: How I feel about the show right now is quite defiant. I think no matter what anyone thinks about this season—and I don’t mean to sound mean about critics here—but whatever critic spends half an hour writing about this season and makes their [negative] judgement on it, in my head they can go fuck themselves. 'Cause I know how much work was put into this. I know how much people cared about this. I know how much pressure people put on themselves and I know how many sleepless nights working or otherwise people had on this show. Because they cared about it so much. Because they cared about the characters. Because they cared about the story. Because they cared about not letting people down. Now if people feel let down by it, I don’t give a fuck—because everyone tried their hardest. That’s how I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you take a minute to consider that over one million people signed this petition, that is amazing. If the numbers keep going up, then we can calculate what percentage of viewers are indicating dissatisfaction with the show. In addition, if D&D cannot be bothered with removing a starbucks cup from the screen or have potential shots of Jaime hugging Cersei with the wrong hand (caught just in time) maybe a little embarrassment coming their way is reasonable.

Jaime kills aerys to save the small folk of KL. Now he never really cared. Davos says bells don t mean surrender in s2. Now they do. Starbucks cup The objective of the wildlings for thousands of years was to go south to have a better live. Now that they can do it they go back north. Last season ended with snow in KL. This season winter never happened there. Danny forgot the iron fleet... And a lot of other situations... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
