I wasn't the same anon. I wanted to like it so bad anon. i watched the whole thing. I should have stopped watching earlier. What kept me in was Cersei's firebombing the Church in the finale of S6(?) That was such a good episode I forgave the rest of that shit season and I watched to the end of the series hoping for some justification for finishing it.

Love the show and I love the song in that episode but her nuking the church and facing zero consequences is probably the dumbest shit in the show.
The showrunners never gave a frick about the fantasy elements, so no shit it was going to end badly.
They have said before that they hated the magic and were only interested in appeasing the soccer moms and football uncles and hockey dads, etc.
They just turned it into ye old tropey fantasy, what with the fireball slinging cave elves or the low iq skeleton npcs or the marvel tier night’s king villain.
There is no night’s king in the books, btw. He was just some mad night’s watch commander who put his dick into a female white walker.
>The showrunners never gave a frick about the fantasy elements, so no shit it was going to end badly.
The fantasy elements were the worst elements though, and there was really no way to show that stuff without it being total cheese-dick nonsense. How do you expect a zombie plot to end without it being ridiculous? We're talking zombies here.
>782 >The showrunners never gave a frick about the fantasy elements, so no shit it was
Agreed. The show was at its best in the first seasons when magic was merely implied through folklore etc, when they toed that line between fantasy and reality. I'm not saying they never should have showed magic explicitly, but they could have gone on longer riding the mystery and superstition of it. The idea of how much people were willing to entrust to their various gods and spirits, when we weren't even sure if these were real or had any power, was a fascinating angle.
No. I watched the show after it aired and didn't even know how much shit was getting until I finished. There's definitely a bit of decline in parts of the final few seasons and the pacing is ridiculously jarring but overall I still loved it and I liked where they ended each character. Looking up some of the discussions about how people wanted it to end makes me believe the vast majority of people watching week to week succumbed to the hype and got too attached to their headcanon
I guess thinking back on it, I would've liked to see more of Dany after Mrs Sandae's death if this is where they were going with her character. All we get of her is information that she's not eating but they act as if thats something her character would normally do. Her going nuclear on KL would feel more earned if we got to see more of her paranoia and her feeling that the walls are closing in. I mean they kinda shaft everyone in the character work and focused too much on the action but missing out on Danys side of things is where I think the final season suffers the most. I still loved the finale though. Very bittersweet across the board and felt like a natural way to end things. The Long Night was also one of the best episodes in the show.
Not b8, but it's definitely opposite to the general reaction of the show. If I posted it to reddit it would be down voted and deleted it immediately. I can elaborate though if you want, I don't mind discussing the show with people I disagree with. Like I said though I think most people got wrapped up in a hatemob, many such cases with popular media. I don't think it's great but I don't have a problem with like 90% of the common grievances people mention and most of the problems I have with the final few seasons are barely mentioned if at all.
I disagree, I loved it. Felt the stakes the whole way through and had one of the best character moments in the show with Theon sacrificing himself. Gave Aryas character a satisfying conclusion to a training arc that lasted pretty much the entire series since she met Syrio. It had some absolutely God tier shots and imo "The Night King" is the best score in the show. "Light of the Seven" is close though.
Nope, it's just what happens when you aren't circlejerking the same opinions over and over again. I honestly can't even tell which part of it you really disagree with. I am interested to hear what made it feel like CW to you though.

Just wanna discuss the show man. I'm even asking you to explain what you didn't like. Why are you even in the thread? Actually why bother responding at all if you're so convinced it's b8?
Why did they put the catapults IN FRONT of the soldiers? Why wouldn’t they put them behind the defensive line or the walls?

Frick the catapults, why was everyone fighting in the courtyard instead of retreating to the keep? All the stuff with the catapults doesn't matter in the long run because the episode would obviously still end with the enemy breaching the walls so they're just window dressing that doesn't mean anything. But if they'd actually retreated from the first wall to the second wall(the famous feature of Winterfell) and then had to retreat to the keep while the dead just keeps piling up then it would have actually stood out amongst all the other battles and become kino. You'd have soldiers manning murder holes and one-hit-killing everything that comes through a doorway, using the defences to the fullest advantage so that even the lowliest fighter could kill fifty enemies before one gets him, but as the fighting goes on everyone gets more and more tired as the enemy just keeps on coming and they lose a guy here and there. The dread and desperation would build as the characters switch out so that one of them can rest for a bit, but the rest gets shorter and shorter as people die and the fatigue starts getting to everyone. Let us get the feeling that the battle has been going on for a long time and the dead simply won't stop coming.
Instead of having the Dothraki ride out to their certain death and resurrection, only to respawn for the next episode, and Sam lying on his back in the open courtyard stabbing deadites in the foot as they surround him and somehow surviving, with the good guys winning the battle in like an hour.

>why was everyone fighting in the courtyard instead of retreating to the keep
The plan was to b8 the Night King out so they can kill him and take out the entire army. When the army got close enough to the wall the dragons were supposed to be backup to buy everyone time. >Instead of having the Dothraki ride out to their certain death and resurrectio
They show a lot of them come back after the flames go out but yeah I agree with you on this one and the Tarly point. My biggest complaint of the final season aside from them not giving us in depth looks on the characters is the unironic dishonest filmmaking that occurs frequently throughout. The emotional manipulation that occurs through the framing just to pull it away at the last second is something the show never really did before.

More range I'm guessing? I dunno I'm not a medieval war tactics master, but I don't see the big difference. A nitpick like this amounts to the same as something in the "goofs" section on IMDb where they say a character has a piece of fabric thats previously unavailable during that time period.
what’s annoying about shit like this is you can see exactly how anon wants the next several threads to play out. start off gaslighting like this, “uh no I genuinely thought it was well crafted and thought provoking im innocently discussing,” then he progresses to trying to curate the perspective that “only redditors hated the ending.”
eventually anons who have 0 stake, probably didn’t even watch the show, will jump on board because it’s funny and just sperg out on anyone who doesn’t agree with this new b8 take. regardless, there won’t be any actual discussion.
the most this bozo can specifically point to is Theon’s scene, which is quite literally the only part of s8 anyone liked, and this has never been disputed. but somehow that’s his ace in the hole that it was all great and everyone was wrong for thinking otherwise.
yes, Arya going full anime on the NK just uh… because le badass assassin, and because one of the wives of D&D favored her, is totally amazing writing and a perfectly natural climax to the arc.
moronic, but watch it play out this way anyway. all discussion about what was moronic has been had a million times and is in the archive. anon has 0 interest in it, he simply wants to manipulate the “right” take coz it gets him off or whatever.
it’s all so turesome.

Holy shit I didn't think it was that deep. Hold on I'll rewatch the episode just so I can tell you in even better detail why I liked it since you've clearly defined yourself by your hatred of it, and answer that other anon more accurately.
I mentioned more than just the theon scene but I'm glad we can at least agree that part was great.

What was so anime about it? As a character she's legit been training to handle a situation like this since the first season. >he simply wants to manipulate the “right” take
Truly I just want to discuss it because of the wide difference of opinion I had vs the general reaction of people who watched it live. IDGAF about "takes" I just love the show and dont get intimidated by a difference of opinion. Especially if anons get as defensive as you are for merely suggesting it.

The thing about you, anon, is that you're not looking for a discussion. Every time someone has said something critical of the show you "disagree" by saying you liked it, that's it. It just makes it a boring discussion. You're obviously satisfied with it so why ask around on the difference in opinion when you seem to neither understand nor concede to or even humor a different POV.

Nah I'm explaining why I disagree in detail using the shows text while you refuse to elaborate why you dislike it for whatever reason.
Season 4 onwards ruined it for me. D&D were clearly leftist israelites that only cares about YAAAS KWEEN moments instead of properly adapting the likes of King Stannis and Robb Stark
It was over WELL before the last season. I actually thought Jon fricking then killing Dany was a solid ending. It was season 5 where the wheels officially fell off though and there was really no redeeming it. It just got worse in the subsequent seasons. I mean, I could really go deep and break it down, but I feel like it's beating a dead horse at this point.
the ending is fine, supposedly was how it was supposed to end.
It's the ~~*modern audiences messaging*~~ bullshit that ensued when they ran out of source material leading up it that fricked it all up.
My geriatric mom recently started watching it, she's almost at the red wedding and loving it. I want to tell her to stop at s5, but i just don't have the heart.
the writing was already inexcusable by S5. Anyone claiming it was S8 that ruined everything is confirmed filtered because S8 was when the roosters finally came home and shit actually happens. The only thing wrong with S8 was the final 30 minutes of the last episode, which felt completely rushed and never stuck the landing. Anyways, the show is still worth watching for the big action pieces, costume design, and comfy medieval fantasy sets. House of the Dragon S1 was pure kino and it feels like they stuck to everything which made GoT good.
I binged it long after it’s peak, and I always thought the fall off memes were over exaggerating. Then you realize half the episodes of the later seasons were just sweeping vistas and establishment shots with minimal, one liner dialogue, and it’s such a stark difference that you would think HBO would learn their lesson, but they keep piling on to the GOT refuse pile.
I feel like s5-6 sort of got a pass because they were still continuing the interesting threads of the first 4 seasons. So even though they were full of dumb shit, you still felt like the essence of the story was there. By the time s7 rolled around, it was pretty much just all moronic fanfic propped up with over the top set pieces.
No. Seasons 1-4 are kino and will remain so but man, I can't bring myself to rewatch it. I've considered rewatching it up until season 4 but it would feel wrong to stop there. For as much as I'd like I cant just ignore the mess that comes after. Hell even for all the problems they have, season 5 and 6 are still fine ish. I remember enjoying the whole Cersei vs the Tyrells vs the church arc.
But man the last 2 seasons are just so painfull. By then time it ended I just felt nothing.
I did this recently. Seasons 1-4 are just so good it's easy to enjoy & ignore how bad the ending is. But once season 5 starts, the show becomes so unenjoyable, it's a struggle to watch. And knowing there's no payoff to all that just kills any motivation to continue watching
it was a cultural zeitgeist where fans following the series for 9 or so years got to see the collapse of the franchise in real time. and i know the quality goes down from 5/6, but it was truly going through the stages of grief. you would say season 7 was shit but season 8 will pay off. and then you see arya kill the night king and you think that can't be the end of him...etc.
>it was alright
'the long night' took place over like two hours and you couldn't see shit for a lot of it, and that was their big show-stopper episode. what are you talking about.
i lost interest in game of throne long before the final seasons. the episode where the wildlings attack the wall, to be precise. now i don't remember if i wound up watching all the episodes, but i did watch the final season at least. i had never liked the character of daenerys, but when she's flying over king landing and the bells start ringing, i fell in love wither, and for the briefest moment, i enjoyed game of throne again. still a shit show, would never watch again, will never watch house of dragon, or any future related media.
There was no hope for it by like season 4. They cut too much shit and completely rewrote the PoVs of a bunch of characters. There are multiple AFFC PoVS that they cut completely so I'm surprised why anybody was shocked they couldn't write a good ending. It was wheelspinning the same shit from season 4 to season 6 because they refused to add new characters.
Unironically stopped watching after season 2. Seeing Stannis and like two of his men cut through a crowd of soldiers like butter and the conclusion of the Qarth storyline convinced me that the show will slowly go to shit. After seeing Vargo Hoat being deleted from the show I stopped giving a frick altogether
The flaws began appearing in Season 5 for me, I only kept watching because they surpassed the books.
>the flaws began appearing in season 5
almost as cringe as those homosexuals who act like only 7 and 8 are bad.
yes only season 7 and 8 are bad. season 5 is flat and season 6 has both dubitable and kino moments
S1-4 is still great.
This but the ending made me not wanting to rewatch the show at all because I know how it ends.
It's about the journey anon
Half of the journey is shit. Actually more because seasons 2-4 had their fair share of shit episodes
>More than half of the journey is shit
So you don't like the show then, why single out the ending?
I wasn't the same anon. I wanted to like it so bad anon. i watched the whole thing. I should have stopped watching earlier. What kept me in was Cersei's firebombing the Church in the finale of S6(?)

it ruined its rewatchability except for cool scenes you can dip into on youtube. there is literally zero reason to watch an entire episode
I am currently rewatching it as we speak
bored people do shit without good reason tho
I don’t think I’ll watch the show anytime soon but I did just start reading Fire and Blood and I’m enjoying it.
Never watched a single episode.
Go into a randomizer, watch one and report back. Make sure to discern the entire show from that episode and never watch another even in you like it.
I've always considered the shows ending to when Tywin was shot by the crossbow.
It was good
i lost interest in game of throne long before the final seasons. the episode where the wildlings attack the wall, to be precise. now i don't remember if i wound up watching all the episodes, but i did watch the final season at least. i had never liked the character of daenerys, but when she's flying over king landing and the bells start ringing, i fell in love wither, and for the briefest moment, i enjoyed game of throne again. still a shit show, would never watch again, will never watch house of dragon, or any future related media.
I'm not really mentally ill enough to have one part of something retroactively take away the fun I had previously
Yes, but it started three seasons before, the show ruined all my interest for AoiaF that was great at the time
