No. The NK came south to find and ask someone what the fuck he was supposed to do with all those zombies and lately a dragon that were thrown at him. He thought asking the 3-balled raven was where to start.
Started rewatching the series. Just finished season 4. I think I'll stop there and pretend it just ends with Arrya, Tyrion, and Varys sailing away forever. What a great show.
@@chucksmalley3987 there were some cool scenes from the later seasons like when the hound hacked those raiders to death or when Cersi nuked King's Landing but that last season just pissed me off
Wrong. They tried to dig their way out of several thousand tonnes of stone bricks, the tragedy is when they almost reached the top, they ran out of strength and died.
I love how the previous episode, the dungeon collapsed entirely. Every wall, archway and brick in the place fell like dominos. Next episode, like 10 bricks in an empty room.
Adam Collins Wealie boi became king cause who is going to be king except the Psychic Computer brain. Who has pulled a Doctor Strange and looked at all possible outcomes and went with the one he became king. Cause a person who has seen all of human history can’t be anything else.
What maddens me is that the story was always grounded in political truths: a ruler cannot be strong if succession is not assured, which is why Dany was targeted by assassins and Joffrey's illegitimacy mattered. Suddenly a Targaeryan with a legitimate claim on the throne can be banished on a promise not to come back and contest things and a king can be appointed who can never produce a dynasty - guaranteeing the civil war will start again when Bran dies. Nice one 👍
Dude, same and well said. It's pointless and stupid to have a Stark on one throne and a Stark on the other. The point? Especially when one can't breed wtf... The best way to fix that would be to have the actual classic hero (Jon Snow) with the legitimate claim to the throne defeat the Night King, saving all mankind, and having the stealth assassin (Arya Stark) or the trusted hand (Tyrion) take out the mad queen in one of their clever fashions. This would leave Jon open to taking the reigns alongside his cousin Sansa, uniting the entire continent of wildings, northerners, and southern Targaryen loyalists. If the eunuch army got their panties in a twist, then Melisandre could have used Jon's kings blood to awaken one of the stone dragons on Dragonstone, easily wiping out the foreign threat. Uniting the Stark and Targaryen houses is what will bring stability and peace to the entire realm. Literally everyone but the "writers" knew this, but I guess subverting expectations gave them a bigger boner than writing a cohesive and satisfying story that dozens of people dedicated over a decade of their lives to create.
I’ve been reading up a lot on the Wars of the Roses… which GoT is kinda based on (dynastic wars due to crisis in succession). Problem for a TV show is its theme doesn’t conclude… the wheel never breaks! And the writers had no way of imagining a way out of that conundrum. Same with George M. should Dany rule? Why? Should jon? Why? The only conclusion to war is legacy. Which is why Return of the King ending was so boring.
@@theManishMuse 100% legacy. It made no sense for 2 Starks to rule the north and south, and the south to have an impotent king that couldn't produce heirs. That leads to warfare and why a Queen bearing sons was always so important. Daughters weren't ideal, but they could reign if all else failed and preserve peace. Jon and Dany would have been able to unite both the north and south with their bloodlines, but Jon and Sansa/Arya would have achieved the same result if Dany was destined to die. So many viable and interesting options but they went with Bran the Boring... -.-
@@intpleb4206 it doesn't even have to be clever. Jon is the male heir. He technically killed Dany who was a usurper since the rightful heir Jon was still alive. He broke no laws by killing her and should've immediately been crowned king.
Things that doesn't matter: -John's lineage -Jaime's arc -Arya's shapeshifting skills -Bran warging abilities -Prince that was promised -Azor Ahai -Lord of Light -horse at the end of episode 5
That horse was the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. It was funny in a similar fashion to when Walter found out skylar took all the money from the crawl space
I had been downloading every episode right from the very first, but I watched the last season on HBO. Within days of the final episode, I deleted all my downloaded files and dumped the entire show. Completely un-watchable.
This is exactly what I said to my wife. It was like watching EastEnders set in westeros. They even cut an argument half way through, pure soap classic. FFS!
10 years later, people still talks about Harry Potter. 20 years later, people still talks about LOTR. 4 years later, no one talks about Game of Thrones. Thats how much they fucked up at the end.
The star wars sequels are a pile of hot human excrement. The end of Game of Thrones was pretty bad but the beginning was amazing. It's a good thing House of the dragon is a good show
C) The fact that 10 minutes into the series' pilot established the white walkers as a credible and ominous threat not to be tied up in a single episode by a character that had no emotional attachment to the arc.
@@kene301187 So basically he steals my plan for winning battle royals of just chill until every is dead or out of ammo and hitpoints, then I just swoop in for the win when no one is expecting it.
The earlier episodes spoke of debts to the iron bank. Whose representative looked like he could murder you with a quill tipped pen. There was talk of needing time to rebuild armies and resources. Talk of payments and logistics. Where the fuck did all of that go?
Yeah funny how that works eh? Maybe they grow on trees or are tubers like potatoes and just happened to be ripe before the battle 🤣 And maybe Adolf Targaryen still can’t count higher than 20, and Dan & Dave think the audience can’t count either so they just throw forces around without a thought Really, how dumb do D&D think we all are? Did they really think no one would notice??
4 years later, and I'm still pissed off for the choices they made. Years of waiting, excitement, expectations, all flushed down the toilet in two seasons. Amazing.
I am no longer piseed off. For a long time, I was, because I wanted someone who has reach and audience to say it as it is, but all the youtubers and other media criticising the last season of GoT were trying to be polite and academic. They just couldn't or wouldn't say it as it is, that it is a pure shit. But a year or os after the season wrapped up, I found critical drinker, and he said it as it is. His reviews finally helped me to get over the shitfest that was the season 8 of GoT. And I am forever thankful to him for that.
What pissed me the most was the decision to exile John, a person who had always worked for the good. Throughout the series, everything he did was to protect everyone. He did nothing for his own good and sacrificed his life to save everyone and betrayed his queen in the end, because it was the right thing to do, despite all of this, even though he had the legitimate right to rule, love Of people and leadership skills, he ends up being banished to nowhere, even if he doesn't become king, at least king in the north, or lord commander, or lord of a somewhere , he is the character who is supposed to get a good ending that suits his efforts and his character development throughout the story.Even in an imaginary world we cannot see a good person rewarded for his efforts!! The scene when he was riding beyond the wall with the free folks was a heart broking ,he doesn't belong to the wild
And it gonna cost HBO BILLIONS meanwhile they could of just fired dumb and dumber after season 5 and made 7 more seasons and made more BILLIONS, I swear people are not thinking.
Jon Snow's entire dialogue in season 8: -She is my queen -She is my queen -She is my queen -She is my queen -She is YOUR queen -She is my queen -You are my queen
HAHAHA! Yeahhh that one one of the +/- 10 facepalm moments in the finale. Apparently I missed Davos telling the Unsullied to settle down and START FAMILIES, but there still were plenty more.
The writing of D&D. These twats got a Star Wars trilogy based on the writing of GRRM. Disney CEO Bob Iger said he hasn't been paying attention to GoT the last few seasons lol. I mean WTF? Do resumes mean anything anymore? Lets hire some guys to handle one of the most popular stories of all time so lets not look into their previous work or how well it was received. Unbelievable.
@@eternalreign2313 You'd think after Rian (I'm gonna fuck up star wars for everyone) Johnson they'd take more care. This really worries me after seeing GoT season 8.
The ending to this show was so bad i forgot it even existed. Literally everyone i knew was always talking about this show... and then the last season happened, and everyone pretended the show never existed. They managed to remove it from everyones mind, which is an insane accomplishment when the show used to be good
It was never good to begin with. Five different times I gave this shitshow a chance, as people just wouldn't shut up about this crap. What sort of brain damage has one to have to be able to enjoy this kind of neandering, unimaginative, debaucherous and frivolous dribble? Massive vaste of decent actors and obviously talented costumers. Haven't people read, seen or heard about good stories? Getting a library card should be free in most countries.
Tragic...I've heard no talk of GOT since it ended. Nobody talking of how they miss it, or wishing they'd bring it back. Before the eighth season, i often spoke of buying the complete series once it ended to rewatch over and over. Now i no longer want to as the last season destroyed the series. Knowing how stupid and lame it all ended killed all the passion to reinvest my time in a worthless cause. R.I.P GOT.
I feel the same way. I used to live for GOT. The ringtone on my cell is even the GOT theme. But once the series ended, I just didn't give a shit about it anymore.
That's truly the greatest tragedy of all. They didn't just kill the show. They retroactively ereased everything good about it from existence. They made sure that what arguably used to be, and should have been the greatest TV show of all time will be remembered as nothing more than a bitter disappointment, and in a few years, even that will have been forgotten. It will become nothing more than another entry in the long list of dead franchises that we all wasted our time on. Thinking about this SHOULD make me furious, but the sad thing is that I don't even care enough anymore to laugh about it. I'm just done.
Totally agree, I lived for every new season, watched every episode multiple times waiting for the following week, watched other people’s reaction vids to kill time, bought every blue ray and now it all seems so stupid after the last two seasons totally killed the years I invested.
My friends' honest words about GoT: "We need to find another show to watch." That's how much it meant to them, and they'd been trying to convince me to watch it for years.
I guess the Wildlings all forgot that they had been granted lands to the south of the wall and that they had been fighting for generations to get south of the wall specifically to acquire those lands so they didn't have to keep scraping a miserable living from the frozen rocks of a barren tundra. I guess they all came down with that amnesia bug that seems to have been going around in season 8.
It's like you expect the people that write four out of six of the last episodes to give a fuck about it? What's wrong with you? Don't you know who you're dealing with?
Yep. The Wildlings were the Mongols. The Wall in GoT is the Great Wall, ostensibly to keep out Mongol warriors, but actually to keep out Mongol trade and keep Mongols out of China. What was a deeply meaningful story resonant with actual human history and complexity becomes a stupid Hollywood Western trope. "Go North young man!" Just stupid.
The Wildlings are the Picts (or Scots). That is Hadrian's Wall not the Great Wall of China (pretty sure GRR said something along those lines at one point). Hadrian's Wall was the wall at the end of the world. The Dothraki are sort of the Mongols, though Mongol cavalry were much heavier armoured and had more archers.
What honestly boiled my skin was the fact that Jon is the true heir to the throne and NO ONE THOUGHT TO MENTION THIS AT THE END?! Then he’s banished to the Watch but just leaves? Then Bran is just supposed to bow to an unsullied prick who is the commander to a dead queen (meaning he literally has no say or purpose anymore) What the serious flying fuck
@@davidpanepento2998 I would have been ok with Jon not becoming king at the end if it made sense. Jon made it clear that he didn’t want to rule, so why not have him pass the crown off to someone he deems fit? Or maybe he accepts the crown to finish what Dany had originally started? I’ve listened to many other people give ideas on how the show should have ended that are light years beyond than what D&D pooped out.
@@xshadionytpx7891 Don't get me started how Anakin and Luke's story were pissed on by Disney. I watched Forces Awakens and all my friends gave me shit because I thought it was weak lol. It makes me mad because there are better stories in the expanded universe and video games then that shit show.
I gave up watching about 1/2 way through and my husband summarized it for me afterwards. ETA: Just for reference, I've been loyally watching since S1E1 aired, but God...
Notice how Arya, Sansa and Bran were all in King’s Landing at the same time? Apparently ‘there must always be a Stark in Winterfell’ is no longer a thing either
@@CODA96 He probably warged into some poor person's body and used him as a remote controlled puppet in Winterfell while he was half paying attention to what was being said in front of him. That could explain the fact that he first said that he didn't want the throne and then said that this was what he had been working towards to all this time.
@@MarcelNL Exactly Marcel. Bran also warged into Ned Stark and let him be killed on purpose. He also warged into Walder Frey and executed his brother and mother. He also warged into Dany AND her Dragon at the same time: Dany never wanted to be Queen of Ashes, but Bran made her do it! And at the end, Bran warged into Jon and he killed Dany, it was just supposed to look like bad storywriting. Proof me wrong, i can explain ANYTHING with ''Bran did it''.
The worst part was the Danae and Cersi showdown. It was built up over 7 seasons and we were expecting some massive battle between the two. And then Cersi is...buried by rubble. What an anticlimax.
And in Season 8, they never have a conversation and only staring at each other. Even Sansa out of people have a conversation with her and even own Daenerys by asking her "What about The North?" When she's finally conquer Westeros. The only time they talked was on the end of Season 7 in Dragonpit andddd that's it!
I watched Mauler's season 8 videos recently and he brought up a question I hadn't thought of - what exactly made Dany stop attacking? The troops/city had already surrendered, Cersei was killed by coincidence with no way of Dany knowing about it, was it just an actual kill count she was after? I've had breakups that hurt less than this shows final season
@breathe3146 but the subversion of expectations didn't fit the characters. Cersi is a cold blooded sociopath who is not afraid of death. So to show her dying in fear and tear s - even with Jamie at her side - goes against the character we know. Danae by contrast is supposed to be her opposite. Yes OK she has streaks of her fathers nature in her. But even when she invades westeros in season 7, we see her compassion as she first touches the ground. To go from that to a complete dictator seems totally out of character
it's not that hard. just imagine how a character would react in real life situations. You need to read some elementary things about logic and common sense and you are set.
"What would an evil mastermind who relies entirely on depection do when the lord looks him square in the face and quotes his own evil motto at him, making it obvious that the jig is up?" "Uuhmm... stick around and keep trying?"
Playing as a character who's more intelligent that you are is also pretty hard. I mean, sure, you can just go "Intelligence check!" at every occasion, but that sounds a bit cheap.
Remember, "A Dance with Dragons" was published in 2011. We are now 12 years later and "The Winds of Winter" is still in the works, with the final book "A Dream of Spring" clearly not coming out this century.
George RR Martin carried this show. As soon as he was out it went steeply downhill. Weiss and Benioff were incapable from the beginning. They were just lucky they had Martin
I mean the dude had a history writing books and for TV shows. So he atleast had a good idea of its ins/outs/pitfalls. That being said he should have never sold the rights until he was on his last book. He was naive to think they wouldn't catch up to his writing and blinded by the mountain of cash HBO dumped on his doorstep.
@@pokeman5000 Its to bad we don't get to see the final vision of his story played out on the screen. Maybe he thought he'd pull off a JK Rowling and finish the series while the books were being adapted.
I am of the Opinion that The Reason the Last 2 Seasons and the ending being Trash, we’re because the Last 2 books aren’t finished and there was no source Material to pull from. I hate to Shit on the man, but you have had 10 years to finish that God damn book let alone his series so He is just as responsible for this show going down hill. I am also skeptical where or not the ending to the books will be worth a damn.
Who has a better story than Bran the Broken? The man who willingly joined the Nights Watch, went beyond the Wall, joined wildlings, climbed that fucking wall on his way back, escaped the wildlings attack, commanded the Castle Black against the wildlings attack, befriended Tormund - the enemy, went to negotiate to hostile Hardome territory, killed a Walker, survived the massacre, got killed, got revived, won the bloody North with a bunch of wildlings, avenged the Red Wedding, became a king, united North, had the balls to go to Dragonstone, had the balls to go to Beyond the Wall again, had the balls to tell Cersei "no knee for you, I already serve Daenerys" in Kings Landing and last but not least, had his own dragon But Bran fell from tower and survived so now he knows useless stuff about history and things, cuz thats more interesting I guess...
''But Bran fell from tower and survived so now he knows useless stuff about history and things, cuz thats more interesting I guess...'' Yes, in fact it IS more interesting than yet another man-hunk/Aragorn-clone taking the throne based on how well he can swing a sword. You sound like Joffrey when he boasted he was gonna hack Tyrion's history book to shreds. You totally don't get the point of the show. People who don't know history are doomed to repeat it. BTW, which country are you from? Did the president of your country wrestle a bear, journey to the South Pole shirtless or something? Is THAT the basis of choosing a good ruler?
@@SerbAtheist I guess letting corruption rot your government and fuck your people in the ass on a daily basis makes one much better candidate for a president than doing a manly deed.
Yes, me too, although I'm also looking forward to Alt Shift X's review later, if he bothers. I'm not sure I would. What a 'FUCK YOU' this series turned out to be.
Daenerys burning down Kings Landing is extremely symbolic. Daenerys symbolizes D&D, and Kings Landing symbolizes the show. And the innocent people of Kings Landing are the fans. Good job D&D. Dumpster fire doesn't even begin to describe this. D&D didn't even try with season 8. Didn't even try.
@@Fabi_87 Look, I understand the appeal of looking to the books for a satisfying end to an amazing saga, but let's get real here. Martin is going to die of a massive heart attack before he finishes the next book, let alone two of them. I mean, he's always written slowly but this absolutely ridiculous. I'm not sure if he's simply lost his passion or if he is just incapable of writing a good ending to a book series that is visibly struggling under it's own weight. Either way, he's well into his seventies and weighs as much as a Mini Cooper so I can't imagine a reality where he lives long enough to complete his work. Not when he's currently working at a pace of roughly a decade per book.
@@bredincaptivity4692 They'll hire someone to finish them for him, if he leaves enough notes/instructions on what he was going to do. They did it with Branden Sanderson for The Wheel of Time. They might do it again.
It was actually impressive what the writers actually did. They created the most amazing TV show to exist, they may not even be able to make one that is better. And then they destroyed it in an also insanely amazing way that they destroyed its legacy and memory with it. There are very few shows or films that have ever self-destructed so amazingly well.
They did not create anything they bought someone else's intellectual property and turned it into a TV show. It's like me making a mod for Skyrim to turn into a multiplayer game and then saying I created the best video game in existence.
Yeah instead he just gets sentenced to hangout with his friends up north. And if Greyworm and all of Dany's men are leaving westeros, why do the other kingdoms agree to punish Jon and Tyrion
@@spawncampe Better yet, why is Tyrion punished because he was the Queen’s hand, but the Queen’s literal ARMY responsible for single-handedly slaughtering countless of innocents after she went mad not given any type of punishment?

just turned her in to a world domination cartoon villain .she came to Westeros to break wheel meaning stop the power struggle cycling over and over again then they made her want everyone to kneel and shit like wtf she never even asked slave masters to kneel .
They were trying to play the angle of her being a Targaryen and inheriting the "mad gene". It's just that nothing really indicated at her being THIS mad. She was cruel towards the end, sure, but not this batshit insane where she suddenly decides to torch innocent people and the city she wants to conquer and rule. What was she going to do with the throne and the city afterwards? It's been razed to the ground. It makes zero sense.
@@sleepysleeper3485 If she’s gone “mad” she doesn’t have to make sense, her burning down Kings Landing made as much sense to her as it did to her father. It was also foreshadowed all the way back in season 2 that she was going to destroy Kings Landing in the house of the undying, you literally see the Throne room destroyed. So her going mad and burning them all was always going to happen it’s just that the writers didn’t allow proper build up to it
@@josephstalin2606 give me a break. It was horrible writing. Dany went “mad” and killed people for absolutely no reason. If she didn’t value human life at all, why did she care so much about freeing the slaves? Her entire story makes no sense. D&D are the worst writers in human history.
So Jon being a Targaryian that was built up for ages actually means NOTHING. Bran being the 3 eyed raven actual meant NOTHING. So much wasted. I just pray the books if they ever get written actually makes this make sense.
i just came here after 3 yrs to say bran is the most evil person in the show he saw the future and let all those ppl die so he can become king 🤮 also jon is still a bastard .raegar was married to elia martell .thats why he secretly married Lilyanna just to fool her
They Rian Johnsoned the white walkers. What was supposed to unite the kingdoms, just to end up back where they were from the start, divided. What an incredible story arc.
Dude, it’s not just the white walkers. A lot of the story arcs either go nowhere, or end up back where they started. Like Jon, for instance. Despite everything he’s gone through, despite everything he’s accomplished, he just ends up banished to the Wall again like the bastard he was in season 1. Great...🙄 Or Jamie’s redemption taking an about-face and ending up right back where he started. Guess that character arc is more of a circle now.
The story of the rise and fall of GoT is like a Greek tragedy. It was at one point the most fucking incredible show to have existed, that had the biggest fanbase in the world who were obsessed with endless theories about how it would end. Wherever you went, GoT would come up in conversation as casually as football. It was a phenomenon, lightning in a bottle. It was arguably the biggest pop culture touchstone of the 2010`s. And then season 8 happened. In just a handful of episodes they managed to completely crumble the towering monolith they had built. GoT was now a joke, and will forever be remembered as thus. It was so bad it made us question if the show was ever really good from the get go. And if was all because of the staggering hubris of the show's creators and the laziness of the original author. Even if it had stuck the landing in a bumpy way, the show still would have been remembered as an amazing achievement. But they didn't so much land, as more like crash to earth and torch the entire runway. Thus it will remain as a cautionary tale to all those who want to know how not to finish a series.
Imagine their star wars sequels were even worse... Imagine they somehow managed to not only be forgettable, but to make you unable to ever enjoy episode 1-6 and clone wars ever again.
@@Ghost-ql3hl But you can still enjoy ep 1 ,2, clone wars, 3, 4, 5, 6 Because that story has a solid ending. GoT doesn't have that. They managed to F-up the ending so dramatically, you can't even rewatch season 1 to 6, because you know you're watching it for nothing
Even better, in House of The Dragon, those two dumbasses are not the director anymore and they got Martin as the screen writer again. Even Martin looks like competely giving up to write the last 2 books of ASOIAF and decided to write HOTD and Elden Ring instead.
I can never forgive how they turned Tyrion, one of the most interesting, clever and witty characters into a whatever he was by the end of GoT. Its the only purpose he was there was because he was a fan favorite and needed to be on the screen for that purpose only. He was basically turned into an empty uniform that said whatever was needed for whatever shitty plot point they were trying to do in a specific episode
At season three: Friend: Do you watch GoT? It's amazing. Me: Nah, I'm not into modern story telling. Friend: This is different, it's so good, you'll like it. At season seven: *Crickets* After ending: Me: So should I watch GoT? Friend: *Grumbles*
They kept around just to deliver the who has a better story than bran line. They thought the Tyrion fan base would just accept that line cuz he delivered it, I think they knew if he didn't deliver it literally NO ONE would have bought. I mean not many did buy it....
@@Ackalan seasons 1-4 were good, then they ran out of the book material and it all went to shit, not to mention they were left unsupervised by GRRM Also BTW if you're 'not into modern storytelling' what are you even doing on the channel that's all about it? You should probably be on the channel about Shakespearean plays or something
He was my favorite character. Absolutely pissed all over his character by the end. He became predictable and in many ways unpredictable for all the wrong reasons. His cleverness that kept him alive was completely destroyed as his decision making was terrible. I'm surprised he wasn't killed off as every choice he made was wrong.
That first bit with Tyrion searching in the rubble - there's no conflict, nothing to provide drama. We're just watching him act. Then later when we get that extreme closeup of his face - it just seemed to never end. I was checking my watch, half unsure if the video was just paused.

"I know a killer when I see one" -Arya Stark the Genius, just after almost being viciously killed by Daenerys for an entire episode, along with hundreds of thousands of innocent people What an amazingly wise observation! What meaningful input!

I WANTED to like Arya but the interviews with that egotistical Maise were such a turn-off. She acted as if she were some type of Wonder Woman because SHE was selected to make "the kill". Arya was just another "tool" in an empty and meaningless toolbox.
@@aileenpi73 Even if she tickled Cersei to death she'd still be killing her.

Got a new purpose now, gotta go, Sandor, thank you! She kind of forgot about who she was intermittently (after the hit on the head that concussed her during the exit from King's Landing and made her hallucinate that white horse).
Having not read the books I could still tell when they ran out of the author's source material. It was so obvious. It just took a turn and you knew that something was missing and it was not good. Unbelieveable that they managed to ruin it so completely.
The sad thing is that they didn’t run out of source material. They stopped adapting it after season 4. Book 4 and five never got to screen and they are both thick fuckers with plenty of stuff going on. With only these two they could have made another two or even three seasons giving the author the time to finish his damned book, and if he still hasn’t then just use the shit ton of sample chapters he released for yet another season. But they were like « nah we’re smarter than him we’ll figure it out »
I haven't seen the show but I heard they started departing significantly well before that. Although they probably still got worse when they didn't even have that to prop them up.
True. From season 7 it was just pointless anti climax battles and no main characters died. That’s when you know it was not written by George R.R. Martin
All these people freaking out like every joke on the internet isn't stolen and reused a million times. I'll do you guys one better. I made this joke while watching the episode when it first aired. Get on my level.
What was the point of Arya's faceless powers if she didn't use them once this season? Why was Jon a Targaryen if it made no difference in the plot? Why did Drogon think a chair killed Dany?
@@kurdia100 That seems to be the sort of symbolism they wanted to convey, but er, when did dragons become capable of making such sophisticated philosophical distinctions? They have only ever proved themselves capable of understanding a single word. They are intelligent creatures, but the idea that Drogon somehow intuits that the desire for power (the Iron Throne) is more responsible for the death of his mother than the guy he just watched stab her to death, is, for want of a better word, fucktarded
@@kurdia100 Him being a Targaryen is not a very good explanation as to why the dragon didn't kill him. Targaryans fought Targaryans before in succession wars. An example is a civil war known as "the dance of the dragons" between Rhaenyra and her brother Aegon II. It all ended with Rhaenyra being captured and Aegon feeding her to his dragon while forcing her son to watch. I guess you could argue that Drogon "knows" Jon. But he hasn't really known him for that long so it's a pretty lame excuse to me. It seemed like the writers just wanted to have that cool scene because of SiiiMboLisM so they put it in there without thinking too much about it.
Dany kinda forgot she liked children. Tyrion kinda forgot he was smart. Jaime kinda fogot he cared about the innocent. Varys kinda forgot he was the scheming spider.

I haven’t heard anyone mention the second to last episode in which Dany INEXPLICABLY decides to flip a complete 180 and massacre thousands of innocent people. The final episode was irrelevant at that point because the credibility of the characters was already erased.
I binged this whole series in the past two weeks and I was honestly so confused as to why she did that?? Like seeing her character from season one to 8 change so abruptly was like wth???
@@DielsonSales Right? The fucking catacombs collapsed. But when Tyrion gets there it's only a tiny piece of rubble in some corner? And the two of them are perfectly fine without a scratch. They would have been mush...such a waste.
I was hoping Tyrion was using the brick on Cersei's head because she got Jamie killed. Nope, Tyrion is sad his sadistic sister, who tried to kill him more than any one on the entire show, had died.
The single most impressive thing about this episode was that it was so bad that the world went into lockdown just under a year after it aired with little more to do than find something to fill the days, and nobody was even talking about the other 7 seasons.
Because if they mention Jon then all the other claims don't much make sense. So if they just don't mention it, maybe they'll forget that Jon is really the only King that makes sense.
@Frank Castle The entire premise of Jon being the actual king was that he was the BETTER king. The people loved him and he cared for the people. Daenyris did not. That didnt stop D&D from throwing everything outta the fucking window for *but mah wheelchair person can be king too xdddd*
mybuttons11 I always raged at the fact that jon didn’t marry Daenerys because that would have solved all their relationship problems, the question of who’s the true Heir and United the North again with the south. (And atleast in Medieval Europe you could marry your Aunt, and even if it is considered incest in Westeros, fuck that, incest is tradition in the house of Targaryen)
BRAN THE BROKEN, who dreamed that up? Such a huge disappointment and a slap in the face to all the faithful followers of Game of Thrones. We deserved better.
"I can't believe Dany sailing to Westeros was the final scene of GoT. So sad that HBO decided to cancel the show after only 6 seasons, but atleast it ended on a high note." Almost fixed it for us.
This will be true for me. I've got 1-6 on bluray and wont ever buy 7 or 8. I'm planning to write a conclusion with a friend so I can just reject this d&d pos fanfiction.
@@RJ-cq8dd for me its 1 through 4 and I'll watch 5 just for Cersei killing those sparrow fucks. I bought the books cus of the shitty end so I hope I like those.
"And Bran's like 'Yeah, whatever, I've got more prehistoric wheelchairs to browse.' " It seriously took me almost a full minute to stop laughing. 😂 Also, awesome Terry Funk reference!
Greyworm: I execute everyone that even dares to NOT bend the knee to my queen Jon: I literally KILLED our Queen Greyworm: Eh, you can go to the wall, i dont care.
Yeah...What the fuck is up with Grey Worm? They gave HIM the power to decide the fate of Jon Snow AS IF somehow he was a main character. Grey Worm did nothing but follow Dany's orders and contributed little to nothing to the story.
Dude probably blabbed his mouth the second he saw someone, for some reason Jon Snow doesn't understand the concept of keeping a secret or just shutting up about literally anything. It's the same reason he just had to tell Cersei he bent the knee to Daenerys when it would guarantee Cersei wouldn't help them. The writers just made him stupid because, well why not?
@@natb9919to be real, that's how all the Stark men were; to fuckin' honest. Talk too damn much. Revelling plans to your enemies and thinking sh!t sweet afterwards.
I love how in season 7 Daenerys specifically said that her father was an evil man and she knew what he did wasn't right, and now they try to spin it that she did all this because it's her idea of what 'right' is. So not only did she go crazy overnight, her entire personality and moral compass did a 180 overnight too. I also love how Jon lost all agency this season. He got his destiny stolen by Arya and he got his choices stolen by Tyrion and Greyworm. Instead of coming to the decision on his own, and voluntarily going north.
caffineandshiny part of the problem was that they didn’t give themselves enough time to depict a believable slow decline into insanity / amorality/ despotism for D. The last 2 seasons have been like a spring finish which suggests they didn’t have the ability to develop and conclude the plot lines from the book.. I thought Stannis Baratheon was a perfect example of this..
The most honorable man in the Realm was a complete tool in season 8. Then, because it's written, he throws all that honor away by killing his Queen, and disobeying the rules of the Night's Watch. Part of me is shocked he didn't start yelling at Drogon when Drogon was yelling at him.
One thing was missing from this review: the fact that a huge fucking dragon is now roaming the world and the small council says (in your words) "Nah, it'll be fine". Amazing stuff. Doesn't change the fact that you're absolutely right; it's been nearly four years and how GoT was treated in the end still breaks my heart.
Apparently they're now employing Tyrion to go into earthquake zones in the hunt for missing persons. That little bugger can get into any hole and find a needle in a stack of needles.
There was a question that was ask in the pick of game of thrones success … “Is there something Lord of the rings has, that game of thrones doesn’t?”. Things that it had: -Awesome fight scenes. -Gore. -Drama. -Sex. - Magic. - Well written characters. -Dragons. - Giants. -Zombies. -Culture. -STAKES. The One thing that GOT didn’t have, that LOTR had. A well done ending.
GOT doesn't even have an ending. The show does, they never bothered to finish the books. And never will . Unless someone takes over and finishes it for him after he dies.
When Arya said "I know a killer when I see one" I burst out laughing. Oh really? Is it not obvious? I guess maybe not for Jon, he's been so daft this season.
I rolled my eyes so hard on that line i almost got dizzy, fucking hell mate... you HAVE SEEN Daenerys before and never said anything, NOW that she burns the entire city you come up with the "I kNoW a KilLeR wHEn o SeE oNe" fuck off
You guys are living proof of the fact that the destination defines the journey. Which is nice. Thank you for suffering in my stead and saving me the torture of this disappointment
@@TruthWiz I think GoT season 8 is so bad that it ruins everything that came before it. Don't believe me? Try rewatching the earlier seasons knowing the horrible truth you know now. Maybe someday I'll drink enough bourbon to finally forget season 7 and 8 and enjoy 1-6 but that day is not today.
@@deavonw I hear you. To me, each episode and season is a work in its own. I simply disagree that the end necessarily retroactively ruins all the brilliance that came before. It certainly has its impact though. The ending of GoT is the single biggest betrayal of a fan base I've yet witnessed.
B. S. That’s what I’m most disgusted about. I absolutely loved this show. It’s an amazing dichotomy. Benioff and Weiss are amazing at bringing written words to life. We have 6 seasons of absolute brilliance. They are absolute hacks at creating fresh material. We have 1 season of total letdown, and 1 season of pure filth with 1 episode I actually like.
I will always divide GOT between GOT Seasons 1-4, seasons 5-6, and seasons 7-8. 1-4 were hands down among the greatest television in history. 5-6 were indicative of a slow decline in writing quality, but still had its share of excellent moments(Hardhome, Hold the door, etc.) 7-8 were when all creativity and intelligent writing was completely abandoned. Characters gained plot armor, something 1-4 never would’ve dared allow, previously smart characters were dumbed completely down for plot convenience, plot holes the size of the Grand Canyon began showing, and the abrupt killing off of the Night King actually ended the show for me(like, I legit didn’t watch the final 3 episodes of the show, since the Night King’s death killed the last shred of emotional investment I had in the show). It’s amazing just how much my admiration for the previous seasons of the show has been completely replaced by disgust and contempt for the laziness of the later seasons quality. It actually puts the Simpsons to shame in that regard.
I saw the Night King's death coming from a million miles away. Arya's development screamed Deus Ex. When she pulled that drop knife trick in the sparring session with Heavy-B I remember asking myself "Who is she gonna use that on? Valyrian steel... Night King." I think a lot of the unhappiness with the ultimate story 'twists' come from people ignoring the blatant foreshadowing on so many characters. Jon stayed true to form, Dany stayed on her inevitable path to becoming the very thing she claimed she was fighting against, etc. etc.
@@johnowen9349 Foreshadowing isn't character development. Also, that knife drop hint and Bran giving the Dagger to Arya in the first place was all made up by D&D. Jon's resurrection had everything to do with him killing the Night King, their fight was built up from the first season (most definitely in the books). You can't just take one instance of foreshadowing and say that it's enough to be believable. Once the writers lost the books, they took it in their own direction. GRRM himself stated that the writers overtook him, which he did not expect. They had Arya kill the Night King at the last minute and ignored everything they created with George in previous seasons to "subvert expectations". They said it themselves, they were really only invested for The Red Wedding (one of the best subversions EVER which... they TRIED with that last season.
It's mostly because season 1 to season 4 ep 9 adapted the books fairly closely with minor (for the book readers often annoying and maybe cheaper to the plot), not very influential changes - see Talisa/Jeyne Westerling). In the final episode of season 4, there were 2 crucial changes that started the doom of the show - no Tysha reveal and no Lady Stoneheart. Season 5 continued in the same manor and 80% of the books 4&5 did not get adapted. Some characters "followed" their book arcs in broad strokes (Dany, Jon, Arya, Theon, Cersei were kind of similiar though not the same at all, but you could say they were doing what they were supposed to in general), some only very vaguely (for example Tyrion made it to Illyrio and then to Dany's court and met Jorah on the way there, but everything about the journey was different including Tyrion himself, he was severely whitewashed in the, show and Brienne was indeed looking for Sansa with Pod in the books but that's where anything even remotly similiar ends - she travels with different characters, runs into Randyll Tarly and finally gets captured by the Brotherhood in the Riverlands and kidnaps Jaime - yeah, not even close to the show), some were drastically different (Sansa, Jaime, Asha/Yara, Euron) and didn't do even anything similiar to what they were supposed to be doing in the books. Then there were characters and plots that didn't even make it to the show but were crucial (all of Dorne, Victarion, Aegon and Jon Connington). Still, season 5 and 6 were somewhat watchable, though far from the greatness of the previous 4. Season 7 and 8 hit the rock bottom. It's practically unwatchable due to the bad writing. Nothing makes sense. It's not even entertaining bad. It's just bad. Which is a shame given the fantastic cast, music and effects.
The last episode felt like what happens when you're invested in writing an interesting essay and you suddenly realize the time is almost running out so you shove a bunch of mumbo jumbo to avoid handing in a hanging story
I like how Jaime and Cersei had just one layer of bricks over them. It makes finding and uncovering the bodies a breeze. And the one thing sticking out just happened to be Jaime's most identifiable part. Lucky for Tyrion.
I think the worst possible thing that was left was the motive of the night King, the importance of Bran and their connection. I was really hoping to see some massive reveal about Bran being the night king or something. Just a waste of a show, still upsetting to think about the last 3 seasons
Went from “it doesn’t matter whose skeleton sits on the iron throne” to “the iron throne was always the main plot.” I cannot believe the White Walkers got tossed aside.
It makes me so sad how this show tanked itself. I LOVED this show and it was heartbreaking watching it crash and burn in such spectacular fashion. I can normally laugh off a shit ending to a show but for some reason this one just pisses me off. I’m no screenwriter but I can think of many ways they could’ve done this and all of them are better than what we got. Honestly if they announced they’re retconning S8 and doing it again I’d be fine with that. I’d happily bury this season and never return to it again. Jon should’ve been the king.

The Night King was trying to kill Bran to save us from this disappointment
I've been thinking the same thing since Episode 3 this Season.
The night king was our champion
And Jaime's kingslaying level was so high, he tried to kill the king 8 seasons ago. (Not my joke)
he was the hero in the story.
No. The NK came south to find and ask someone what the fuck he was supposed to do with all those zombies and lately a dragon that were thrown at him. He thought asking the 3-balled raven was where to start.
The best joke I've heard is that the reason dragon melted down the Iron Throne was to make a ramp for Bran.
Chaos is a wheelchair ramp...
Hahhahahaha
Dayuuuuum.
Plus he wouldn't really need the iron throne, since....you know. He brought his own chair.
Best joke I heard was that the most ridiculous part of the final season was the idea that someone actually finished writing A Song of Ice and Fire.
Davos telling a group of warrior-eunuchs to settle down and start families is literally the dumbest thing I have experienced on TV.
Well, that was really a perfect example of D&D writing.
Not really, they reproduce by mitosis which was established after the battle of Winterfell, just like the Dothraki who can also breed the normal way.
@@MoffatLee Since all of them are men what way was that exactly? :D
Their descendants would just be more copies of the current Unsullied. Those fuckers reproduce themselves faster than cancer

Don't stop the series is great despite the ending.
@@chucksmalley3987 there were some cool scenes from the later seasons like when the hound hacked those raiders to death or when Cersi nuked King's Landing but that last season just pissed me off

season 6 has a better ending....dany sailing for westeros!
I stopped at the end of season 6. Season 5 ending with Cersi killing half the city is a good dropoff point as well.
The real tragedy of Jaime and Cersei is that if they stood a little to the right they would have been fine.
Wrong. They tried to dig their way out of several thousand tonnes of stone bricks, the tragedy is when they almost reached the top, they ran out of strength and died.
@@colonelburton8451 Indeed. They avoided all that blunt force crushing trauma and died of suffocation.
I love how the previous episode, the dungeon collapsed entirely. Every wall, archway and brick in the place fell like dominos. Next episode, like 10 bricks in an empty room.
I wondered why they didn’t just take shelter in balerions skull
*whisper voice* lil bits
Little Finger: Chaos is a ladder.
Bran: Wrong; it's a wheelchair accessible ramp.
nah it actually makes sense that chaos is a ladder, Bran can't cause chaos because he can't climb the ladder so if he's a king:
Adam Collins Wealie boi became king cause who is going to be king except the Psychic Computer brain. Who has pulled a Doctor Strange and looked at all possible outcomes and went with the one he became king. Cause a person who has seen all of human history can’t be anything else.

@@snappycenter7863 Pity they were not on the Iron Throne when Drogon torched it.

What maddens me is that the story was always grounded in political truths: a ruler cannot be strong if succession is not assured, which is why Dany was targeted by assassins and Joffrey's illegitimacy mattered. Suddenly a Targaeryan with a legitimate claim on the throne can be banished on a promise not to come back and contest things and a king can be appointed who can never produce a dynasty - guaranteeing the civil war will start again when Bran dies. Nice one 👍
Yep...
Dude, same and well said. It's pointless and stupid to have a Stark on one throne and a Stark on the other. The point? Especially when one can't breed wtf... The best way to fix that would be to have the actual classic hero (Jon Snow) with the legitimate claim to the throne defeat the Night King, saving all mankind, and having the stealth assassin (Arya Stark) or the trusted hand (Tyrion) take out the mad queen in one of their clever fashions. This would leave Jon open to taking the reigns alongside his cousin Sansa, uniting the entire continent of wildings, northerners, and southern Targaryen loyalists. If the eunuch army got their panties in a twist, then Melisandre could have used Jon's kings blood to awaken one of the stone dragons on Dragonstone, easily wiping out the foreign threat. Uniting the Stark and Targaryen houses is what will bring stability and peace to the entire realm. Literally everyone but the "writers" knew this, but I guess subverting expectations gave them a bigger boner than writing a cohesive and satisfying story that dozens of people dedicated over a decade of their lives to create.
I’ve been reading up a lot on the Wars of the Roses… which GoT is kinda based on (dynastic wars due to crisis in succession). Problem for a TV show is its theme doesn’t conclude… the wheel never breaks! And the writers had no way of imagining a way out of that conundrum. Same with George M. should Dany rule? Why? Should jon? Why? The only conclusion to war is legacy. Which is why Return of the King ending was so boring.
@@theManishMuse 100% legacy. It made no sense for 2 Starks to rule the north and south, and the south to have an impotent king that couldn't produce heirs. That leads to warfare and why a Queen bearing sons was always so important. Daughters weren't ideal, but they could reign if all else failed and preserve peace. Jon and Dany would have been able to unite both the north and south with their bloodlines, but Jon and Sansa/Arya would have achieved the same result if Dany was destined to die. So many viable and interesting options but they went with Bran the Boring... -.-
@@intpleb4206 it doesn't even have to be clever. Jon is the male heir. He technically killed Dany who was a usurper since the rightful heir Jon was still alive. He broke no laws by killing her and should've immediately been crowned king.

b) Jon being Aegon Targaryan
The night king ?
Bran being the Three Eyes Targaryen
I would also add (though, not to the same degree):
c) Arya being a faceless assassin.
And who th fook is azor ahai?
C) The fact that 10 minutes into the series' pilot established the white walkers as a credible and ominous threat not to be tied up in a single episode by a character that had no emotional attachment to the arc.

I'll never forget my shock after season 8 episode 3. I had hope they would land the ending but I was so so wrong.
I am no longer piseed off. For a long time, I was, because I wanted someone who has reach and audience to say it as it is, but all the youtubers and other media criticising the last season of GoT were trying to be polite and academic.
They just couldn't or wouldn't say it as it is, that it is a pure shit. But a year or os after the season wrapped up, I found critical drinker, and he said it as it is. His reviews finally helped me to get over the shitfest that was the season 8 of GoT. And I am forever thankful to him for that.
What pissed me the most was the decision to exile John, a person who had always worked for the good. Throughout the series, everything he did was to protect everyone. He did nothing for his own good and sacrificed his life to save everyone and betrayed his queen in the end, because it was the right thing to do, despite all of this, even though he had the legitimate right to rule, love
Of people and leadership skills, he ends up being banished to nowhere, even if he doesn't become king, at least king in the north, or lord commander, or lord of a somewhere , he is the character who is supposed to get a good ending that suits his efforts and his character development throughout the story.Even in an imaginary world we cannot see a good person rewarded for his efforts!! The scene when he was riding beyond the wall with the free folks was a heart broking ,he doesn't belong to the wild
Crazy how the end of this series was so goddamn bad that it retroactively removed all of its influence from the cultural conversation
I'm starting to think that Tiger King had more cultural relevance than Game Of Thrones
Seriously, the only times I ever hear Game of Thrones mentioned anymore, it's always just referencing how bad the last season was.

The ending to this show was so bad i forgot it even existed. Literally everyone i knew was always talking about this show... and then the last season happened, and everyone pretended the show never existed. They managed to remove it from everyones mind, which is an insane accomplishment when the show used to be good
It even killed the desire of rewatching it again, and/or recommending it to others.
It was never good to begin with. Five different times I gave this shitshow a chance, as people just wouldn't shut up about this crap. What sort of brain damage has one to have to be able to enjoy this kind of neandering, unimaginative, debaucherous and frivolous dribble? Massive vaste of decent actors and obviously talented costumers. Haven't people read, seen or heard about good stories? Getting a library card should be free in most countries.
Tragic...I've heard no talk of GOT since it ended. Nobody talking of how they miss it, or wishing they'd bring it back. Before the eighth season, i often spoke of buying the complete series once it ended to rewatch over and over. Now i no longer want to as the last season destroyed the series. Knowing how stupid and lame it all ended killed all the passion to reinvest my time in a worthless cause. R.I.P GOT.
I feel the same way. I used to live for GOT. The ringtone on my cell is even the GOT theme. But once the series ended, I just didn't give a shit about it anymore.
I feel the same. It wasnt just bad, it forgot about arya's shapshifting or brans ability to see everything therfore making the build up pointless.
That's truly the greatest tragedy of all. They didn't just kill the show. They retroactively ereased everything good about it from existence.
They made sure that what arguably used to be, and should have been the greatest TV show of all time will be remembered as nothing more than a bitter disappointment, and in a few years, even that will have been forgotten. It will become nothing more than another entry in the long list of dead franchises that we all wasted our time on.
Thinking about this SHOULD make me furious, but the sad thing is that I don't even care enough anymore to laugh about it. I'm just done.
Totally agree, I lived for every new season, watched every episode multiple times waiting for the following week, watched other people’s reaction vids to kill time, bought every blue ray and now it all seems so stupid after the last two seasons totally killed the years I invested.

You're right I was thinking the same thing when I saw the wildlings traveling back from where they fought so hard to leave from.
It's like you expect the people that write four out of six of the last episodes to give a fuck about it? What's wrong with you? Don't you know who you're dealing with?
Yep. The Wildlings were the Mongols. The Wall in GoT is the Great Wall, ostensibly to keep out Mongol warriors, but actually to keep out Mongol trade and keep Mongols out of China. What was a deeply meaningful story resonant with actual human history and complexity becomes a stupid Hollywood Western trope. "Go North young man!" Just stupid.
The Wildlings are the Picts (or Scots). That is Hadrian's Wall not the Great Wall of China (pretty sure GRR said something along those lines at one point). Hadrian's Wall was the wall at the end of the world. The Dothraki are sort of the Mongols, though Mongol cavalry were much heavier armoured and had more archers.
What honestly boiled my skin was the fact that Jon is the true heir to the throne and NO ONE THOUGHT TO MENTION THIS AT THE END?! Then he’s banished to the Watch but just leaves? Then Bran is just supposed to bow to an unsullied prick who is the commander to a dead queen (meaning he literally has no say or purpose anymore) What the serious flying fuck
I know. I'll never forgive D&D for not making Jon king in the end. Literally his whole character arc just gets completely destroyed.
@@davidpanepento2998 I would have been ok with Jon not becoming king at the end if it made sense. Jon made it clear that he didn’t want to rule, so why not have him pass the crown off to someone he deems fit? Or maybe he accepts the crown to finish what Dany had originally started? I’ve listened to many other people give ideas on how the show should have ended that are light years beyond than what D&D pooped out.
@@MykaTheDevil Yes, Jon technically didn't have to become king, but it makes the most sense since he's the last true hair of the Targaryen line.
@@MykaTheDevil To be honest anybody other than Bran would've made sense.
He has plot armor, what should've actually happened is jon getting killed either by Dany's dragon, the unsullied or the dothraki
A year later and I cannot even look at the excellent earlier seasons fondly. The season ruined the show for me.
I don´t remember Dany´s corps being taken by the dragon. I probably didn´t watch the whole episode, just skiped it
@@xshadionytpx7891 Don't get me started how Anakin and Luke's story were pissed on by Disney. I watched Forces Awakens and all my friends gave me shit because I thought it was weak lol. It makes me mad because there are better stories in the expanded universe and video games then that shit show.

Mission accomplished then.
For real.
Watching it again, is like eating the most amazing of meals, knowing you're going to shit your life out when you're done
I had no emotional attachment / reaction to what happened in this episode.....
I stopped watching after episode 3. I feel nothing but anger and disappointment now..
dew ok yeah lol was watching n my girlfriend freaked out n I was like, cmon you knew it was coming especially when dani died
I tried, i really tried hard
I've realized that the only feeling this and the previous few episodes managed to induce in me was cringe.
I gave up watching about 1/2 way through and my husband summarized it for me afterwards.
ETA: Just for reference, I've been loyally watching since S1E1 aired, but God...
Notice how Arya, Sansa and Bran were all in King’s Landing at the same time? Apparently ‘there must always be a Stark in Winterfell’ is no longer a thing either
Ehh, who cares. We have focking Bran do deal with everything. Cuz he is literally god. He just didnt choose to say anyhting. YUR MAH QUEEN
@@CODA96 He probably warged into some poor person's body and used him as a remote controlled puppet in Winterfell while he was half paying attention to what was being said in front of him.
That could explain the fact that he first said that he didn't want the throne and then said that this was what he had been working towards to all this time.
They kinda forgot
happened in season two aswell so what
@@MarcelNL
Exactly Marcel. Bran also warged into Ned Stark and let him be killed on purpose. He also warged into Walder Frey and executed his brother and mother.
He also warged into Dany AND her Dragon at the same time: Dany never wanted to be Queen of Ashes, but Bran made her do it!
And at the end, Bran warged into Jon and he killed Dany, it was just supposed to look like bad storywriting.
Proof me wrong, i can explain ANYTHING with ''Bran did it''.
The worst part was the Danae and Cersi showdown. It was built up over 7 seasons and we were expecting some massive battle between the two. And then Cersi is...buried by rubble. What an anticlimax.
Seriously. Pisses me off
And in Season 8, they never have a conversation and only staring at each other. Even Sansa out of people have a conversation with her and even own Daenerys by asking her "What about The North?" When she's finally conquer Westeros. The only time they talked was on the end of Season 7 in Dragonpit andddd that's it!
"An anticlimax" is how I would describe everything in the whole season
I watched Mauler's season 8 videos recently and he brought up a question I hadn't thought of - what exactly made Dany stop attacking? The troops/city had already surrendered, Cersei was killed by coincidence with no way of Dany knowing about it, was it just an actual kill count she was after?
I've had breakups that hurt less than this shows final season
@breathe3146 but the subversion of expectations didn't fit the characters. Cersi is a cold blooded sociopath who is not afraid of death. So to show her dying in fear and tear s - even with Jamie at her side - goes against the character we know. Danae by contrast is supposed to be her opposite. Yes OK she has streaks of her fathers nature in her. But even when she invades westeros in season 7, we see her compassion as she first touches the ground. To go from that to a complete dictator seems totally out of character

@Evil Doughboy Rian Johnson would be so proud. They did not simply Subvert Expectations, but they Subverted the entire story
The problem with writing smart characters is that you yourself have to be smart.
Well… there goes my writing career
At least you have the advantage of time to think about what the character would just immediately do.
it's not that hard. just imagine how a character would react in real life situations. You need to read some elementary things about logic and common sense and you are set.
Just like Christopher Nolan who needs to use science in every of his movies and makes everyone confused of what the fuck is going on.
"What would an evil mastermind who relies entirely on depection do when the lord looks him square in the face and quotes his own evil motto at him, making it obvious that the jig is up?"
"Uuhmm... stick around and keep trying?"
As any Dungeon Master will tell you; the hardest thing to do is to write a character who is more intelligent than you are.
My favorite line! Thanks...I needed that.
@Christopher Marlowe several people wrote his character. Thus he has intelligence equal to that of many people added together. Truly a genius.
My Dad accused me of being a homosexual.
Playing as a character who's more intelligent that you are is also pretty hard. I mean, sure, you can just go "Intelligence check!" at every occasion, but that sounds a bit cheap.

Who has a better story than Bran the Broken?
The man who willingly joined the Nights Watch, went beyond the Wall, joined wildlings, climbed that fucking wall on his way back, escaped the wildlings attack, commanded the Castle Black against the wildlings attack, befriended Tormund - the enemy, went to negotiate to hostile Hardome territory, killed a Walker, survived the massacre, got killed, got revived, won the bloody North with a bunch of wildlings, avenged the Red Wedding, became a king, united North, had the balls to go to Dragonstone, had the balls to go to Beyond the Wall again, had the balls to tell Cersei "no knee for you, I already serve Daenerys" in Kings Landing and last but not least, had his own dragon
But Bran fell from tower and survived so now he knows useless stuff about history and things, cuz thats more interesting I guess...
''But Bran fell from tower and survived so now he knows useless stuff about history and things, cuz thats more interesting I guess...''
Yes, in fact it IS more interesting than yet another man-hunk/Aragorn-clone taking the throne based on how well he can swing a sword.
You sound like Joffrey when he boasted he was gonna hack Tyrion's history book to shreds. You totally don't get the point of the show. People who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.

The best part of this finale by far.
Yes, me too, although I'm also looking forward to Alt Shift X's review later, if he bothers. I'm not sure I would. What a 'FUCK YOU' this series turned out to be.
Daenerys burning down Kings Landing is extremely symbolic. Daenerys symbolizes D&D, and Kings Landing symbolizes the show. And the innocent people of Kings Landing are the fans.
Good job D&D. Dumpster fire doesn't even begin to describe this. D&D didn't even try with season 8. Didn't even try.
Drogon burning the iron throne symbolises the fans burning D&D.
Dont forget, they also took an extra year, to not even try.
The guy killing main characters as a living could find better than destroying the throne?
@@Fabi_87 Look, I understand the appeal of looking to the books for a satisfying end to an amazing saga, but let's get real here. Martin is going to die of a massive heart attack before he finishes the next book, let alone two of them. I mean, he's always written slowly but this absolutely ridiculous. I'm not sure if he's simply lost his passion or if he is just incapable of writing a good ending to a book series that is visibly struggling under it's own weight. Either way, he's well into his seventies and weighs as much as a Mini Cooper so I can't imagine a reality where he lives long enough to complete his work. Not when he's currently working at a pace of roughly a decade per book.
@@bredincaptivity4692 They'll hire someone to finish them for him, if he leaves enough notes/instructions on what he was going to do.
They did it with Branden Sanderson for The Wheel of Time. They might do it again.
It was actually impressive what the writers actually did. They created the most amazing TV show to exist, they may not even be able to make one that is better.
And then they destroyed it in an also insanely amazing way that they destroyed its legacy and memory with it. There are very few shows or films that have ever self-destructed so amazingly well.
They destroyed too well, I think. My theory is that there was some kind of miff between D&D and George Martin.
They did not create anything they bought someone else's intellectual property and turned it into a TV show. It's like me making a mod for Skyrim to turn into a multiplayer game and then saying I created the best video game in existence.
@@MrApostolis78 let's just say that season 6 onwards is there own abomination

Honestly what the hell was her goal here
just turned her in to a world domination cartoon villain .she came to Westeros to break wheel meaning stop the power struggle cycling over and over again then they made her want everyone to kneel and shit like wtf she never even asked slave masters to kneel .
They were trying to play the angle of her being a Targaryen and inheriting the "mad gene". It's just that nothing really indicated at her being THIS mad. She was cruel towards the end, sure, but not this batshit insane where she suddenly decides to torch innocent people and the city she wants to conquer and rule. What was she going to do with the throne and the city afterwards? It's been razed to the ground. It makes zero sense.
@@sleepysleeper3485Generally "mad" people don't make sense. It's kinda implied.
@@sleepysleeper3485 If she’s gone “mad” she doesn’t have to make sense, her burning down Kings Landing made as much sense to her as it did to her father. It was also foreshadowed all the way back in season 2 that she was going to destroy Kings Landing in the house of the undying, you literally see the Throne room destroyed. So her going mad and burning them all was always going to happen it’s just that the writers didn’t allow proper build up to it
@@josephstalin2606 give me a break. It was horrible writing. Dany went “mad” and killed people for absolutely no reason. If she didn’t value human life at all, why did she care so much about freeing the slaves? Her entire story makes no sense. D&D are the worst writers in human history.
So Jon being a Targaryian that was built up for ages actually means NOTHING. Bran being the 3 eyed raven actual meant NOTHING. So much wasted. I just pray the books if they ever get written actually makes this make sense.
digwillhachi who car S about the books? GRRM let the whole series get out of control....
Jon should have been King and Bran should have been his Hand/advisor
i just came here after 3 yrs to say bran is the most evil person in the show he saw the future and let all those ppl die so he can become king 🤮 also jon is still a bastard .raegar was married to elia martell .thats why he secretly married Lilyanna just to fool her
They Rian Johnsoned the white walkers. What was supposed to unite the kingdoms, just to end up back where they were from the start, divided. What an incredible story arc.
as in 'not credible'
Dude, it’s not just the white walkers. A lot of the story arcs either go nowhere, or end up back where they started. Like Jon, for instance. Despite everything he’s gone through, despite everything he’s accomplished, he just ends up banished to the Wall again like the bastard he was in season 1. Great...🙄
Or Jamie’s redemption taking an about-face and ending up right back where he started. Guess that character arc is more of a circle now.

The story of the rise and fall of GoT is like a Greek tragedy. It was at one point the most fucking incredible show to have existed, that had the biggest fanbase in the world who were obsessed with endless theories about how it would end. Wherever you went, GoT would come up in conversation as casually as football. It was a phenomenon, lightning in a bottle. It was arguably the biggest pop culture touchstone of the 2010`s.
And then season 8 happened.
In just a handful of episodes they managed to completely crumble the towering monolith they had built. GoT was now a joke, and will forever be remembered as thus. It was so bad it made us question if the show was ever really good from the get go. And if was all because of the staggering hubris of the show's creators and the laziness of the original author.
Even if it had stuck the landing in a bumpy way, the show still would have been remembered as an amazing achievement. But they didn't so much land, as more like crash to earth and torch the entire runway.
Thus it will remain as a cautionary tale to all those who want to know how not to finish a series.
The joke's on us. We have been trolled by George R.R. Martin and he even told us so.
Season 7 was also bad. If i rewach GoT, I'll stop at season 6
This isnt Georges fault, it is D&D's fault. They ran out of source material and just ripped this show apart
The show will still be legendary regardless

Because that story has a solid ending. GoT doesn't have that. They managed to F-up the ending so dramatically, you can't even rewatch season 1 to 6, because you know you're watching it for nothing
Even better, in House of The Dragon, those two dumbasses are not the director anymore and they got Martin as the screen writer again. Even Martin looks like competely giving up to write the last 2 books of ASOIAF and decided to write HOTD and Elden Ring instead.
I can never forgive how they turned Tyrion, one of the most interesting, clever and witty characters into a whatever he was by the end of GoT. Its the only purpose he was there was because he was a fan favorite and needed to be on the screen for that purpose only. He was basically turned into an empty uniform that said whatever was needed for whatever shitty plot point they were trying to do in a specific episode

Friend: This is different, it's so good, you'll like it.
At season seven:

After ending:
Me: So should I watch GoT?
Friend: *Grumbles*
They kept around just to deliver the who has a better story than bran line. They thought the Tyrion fan base would just accept that line cuz he delivered it, I think they knew if he didn't deliver it literally NO ONE would have bought. I mean not many did buy it....

Tyrion sucked in the last season. Stupid actions, idiotic lines...i didn't love her as successfully. Wtf does that mean? Who wrote this sh!t?
He was my favorite character. Absolutely pissed all over his character by the end. He became predictable and in many ways unpredictable for all the wrong reasons. His cleverness that kept him alive was completely destroyed as his decision making was terrible. I'm surprised he wasn't killed off as every choice he made was wrong.

Got a new purpose now, gotta go, Sandor, thank you! She kind of forgot about who she was intermittently (after the hit on the head that concussed her during the exit from King's Landing and made her hallucinate that white horse).
Having not read the books I could still tell when they ran out of the author's source material. It was so obvious. It just took a turn and you knew that something was missing and it was not good. Unbelieveable that they managed to ruin it so completely.
The sad thing is that they didn’t run out of source material. They stopped adapting it after season 4. Book 4 and five never got to screen and they are both thick fuckers with plenty of stuff going on. With only these two they could have made another two or even three seasons giving the author the time to finish his damned book, and if he still hasn’t then just use the shit ton of sample chapters he released for yet another season. But they were like « nah we’re smarter than him we’ll figure it out »
I haven't seen the show but I heard they started departing significantly well before that. Although they probably still got worse when they didn't even have that to prop them up.
True. From season 7 it was just pointless anti climax battles and no main characters died. That’s when you know it was not written by George R.R. Martin

What was the point of Arya's faceless powers if she didn't use them once this season? Why was Jon a Targaryen if it made no difference in the plot? Why did Drogon think a chair killed Dany?
@@kurdia100 That seems to be the sort of symbolism they wanted to convey, but er, when did dragons become capable of making such sophisticated philosophical distinctions? They have only ever proved themselves capable of understanding a single word. They are intelligent creatures, but the idea that Drogon somehow intuits that the desire for power (the Iron Throne) is more responsible for the death of his mother than the guy he just watched stab her to death, is, for want of a better word, fucktarded
@@kurdia100 that's what I thought at that moment. Drogon can't kill John because he knows he is a targaryen. But we will never know.
Jon being a Targaryen really just helped Bran.
There's a dagger in her chest. The chair is pointy.
Dragon logic.
There, I figured it out.
@@kurdia100 Him being a Targaryen is not a very good explanation as to why the dragon didn't kill him. Targaryans fought Targaryans before in succession wars. An example is a civil war known as "the dance of the dragons" between Rhaenyra and her brother Aegon II. It all ended with Rhaenyra being captured and Aegon feeding her to his dragon while forcing her son to watch. I guess you could argue that Drogon "knows" Jon. But he hasn't really known him for that long so it's a pretty lame excuse to me. It seemed like the writers just wanted to have that cool scene because of SiiiMboLisM so they put it in there without thinking too much about it.
I've never before wished a show I loved had been cancelled before it's final season.

@@SammyVOfficial Can someone explain me the Gilly bit?
I haven’t heard anyone mention the second to last episode in which Dany INEXPLICABLY decides to flip a complete 180 and massacre thousands of innocent people. The final episode was irrelevant at that point because the credibility of the characters was already erased.
I binged this whole series in the past two weeks and I was honestly so confused as to why she did that?? Like seeing her character from season one to 8 change so abruptly was like wth???
they ruined her@@alexandraluckett2070
Yeah dude, I totally expected Jamie or Cersei to cough and come back to life. THAT'S how low my expectations had got.
lol I was like "didn't the whole ceiling fell down as far as I remember?". Turns out history is always rewritten next episode in this season.
Dielson Sales that’s what I’m saying underrated point. This season is honestly childish
@@DielsonSales Right? The fucking catacombs collapsed. But when Tyrion gets there it's only a tiny piece of rubble in some corner? And the two of them are perfectly fine without a scratch. They would have been mush...such a waste.
I was hoping Tyrion was using the brick on Cersei's head because she got Jamie killed. Nope, Tyrion is sad his sadistic sister, who tried to kill him more than any one on the entire show, had died.
lmao me too
The single most impressive thing about this episode was that it was so bad that the world went into lockdown just under a year after it aired with little more to do than find something to fill the days, and nobody was even talking about the other 7 seasons.
I don’t know a single person that has gone back and rewatched the run of GOT during lockdown. Not. A. Single. One.

What makes me most mad is that nobody talked about Jon being the heir even though Varys was writing all those letters
gendry is tecnically legitime joffrey brother and robert son and were on the council....
He was writing his favourite porno
Because if they mention Jon then all the other claims don't much make sense. So if they just don't mention it, maybe they'll forget that Jon is really the only King that makes sense.
@Frank Castle The entire premise of Jon being the actual king was that he was the BETTER king. The people loved him and he cared for the people.
Daenyris did not. That didnt stop D&D from throwing everything outta the fucking window for *but mah wheelchair person can be king too xdddd*
mybuttons11 I always raged at the fact that jon didn’t marry Daenerys because that would have solved all their relationship problems, the question of who’s the true Heir and United the North again with the south.
(And atleast in Medieval Europe you could marry your Aunt, and even if it is considered incest in Westeros, fuck that, incest is tradition in the house of Targaryen)
BRAN THE BROKEN, who dreamed that up? Such a huge disappointment and a slap in the face to all the faithful followers of Game of Thrones.
We deserved better.
Bran trade up! "Im not lord of anything..." episodes later "why do you think i came all this way" whaaat?
He meant, "I'm not the lord of anything, I'm the KANG BITCH!"
Why be a lord when you can be a king! He knew... He knew...
"I can't believe Dany sailing to Westeros was the final scene of GoT.
So sad that HBO decided to cancel the show after only 6 seasons,
but atleast it ended on a high note."
Almost fixed it for us.
You're optimistic. This already went downhill since season 5 imo
This will be true for me. I've got 1-6 on bluray and wont ever buy 7 or 8. I'm planning to write a conclusion with a friend so I can just reject this d&d pos fanfiction.
@@RJ-cq8dd for me its 1 through 4 and I'll watch 5 just for Cersei killing those sparrow fucks. I bought the books cus of the shitty end so I hope I like those.
The death of Stannis was the Death of the show. Only good scene after that was Battle of Bastards.
"Gaaah!"
"What's wrong, Ned? Bad dream?"

Lets

Jon: I literally KILLED our Queen
Greyworm: Eh, you can go to the wall, i dont care.
Yeah...What the fuck is up with Grey Worm? They gave HIM the power to decide the fate of Jon Snow AS IF somehow he was a main character. Grey Worm did nothing but follow Dany's orders and contributed little to nothing to the story.
Anna Wisdomsdottir HE IS NOT EVEN FROM WESTEROS LMAO
What I had always wondered: how did they know that Dany is dead? Jon killed her and no one was there, Drogon took her body, so how did they know?
Jon likely confessed, like he did to killing Mance in a room full of wildlings. He's not one to lie or bs about anything
Dude probably blabbed his mouth the second he saw someone, for some reason Jon Snow doesn't understand the concept of keeping a secret or just shutting up about literally anything. It's the same reason he just had to tell Cersei he bent the knee to Daenerys when it would guarantee Cersei wouldn't help them. The writers just made him stupid because, well why not?

@@PurushNahiMahaPurush “I neva ave”
I love how in season 7 Daenerys specifically said that her father was an evil man and she knew what he did wasn't right, and now they try to spin it that she did all this because it's her idea of what 'right' is. So not only did she go crazy overnight, her entire personality and moral compass did a 180 overnight too.
I also love how Jon lost all agency this season. He got his destiny stolen by Arya and he got his choices stolen by Tyrion and Greyworm. Instead of coming to the decision on his own, and voluntarily going north.
caffineandshiny part of the problem was that they didn’t give themselves enough time to depict a believable slow decline into insanity / amorality/ despotism for D. The last 2 seasons have been like a spring finish which suggests they didn’t have the ability to develop and conclude the plot lines from the book..
I thought Stannis Baratheon was a perfect example of this..
The Prince that was Pointless
Maybe Daenerys was under the mind control of the Three-Eyed R'hllor a.k.a GRRM
@@roosterbooster6238 oh I agree. I'm just saying, their desperate reaching for a way to make it work (and be believable) falls flat on its face.
The most honorable man in the Realm was a complete tool in season 8. Then, because it's written, he throws all that honor away by killing his Queen, and disobeying the rules of the Night's Watch. Part of me is shocked he didn't start yelling at Drogon when Drogon was yelling at him.
One thing was missing from this review: the fact that a huge fucking dragon is now roaming the world and the small council says (in your words) "Nah, it'll be fine". Amazing stuff. Doesn't change the fact that you're absolutely right; it's been nearly four years and how GoT was treated in the end still breaks my heart.

- Magic.
- Well written characters.
-Dragons.
- Giants.
-Zombies.
-Culture.
-STAKES.
The One thing that GOT didn’t have, that LOTR had.
A well done ending.
GOT doesn't even have an ending. The show does, they never bothered to finish the books. And never will . Unless someone takes over and finishes it for him after he dies.
When Arya said "I know a killer when I see one" I burst out laughing. Oh really? Is it not obvious? I guess maybe not for Jon, he's been so daft this season.
🤣😊🤣 i wonder what her first clue was
I know. Burning down an entire city wasn't an obvious enough clue. And Daenerys has been wrecking people with dragon fire for years now.
I rolled my eyes so hard on that line i almost got dizzy, fucking hell mate... you HAVE SEEN Daenerys before and never said anything, NOW that she burns the entire city you come up with the "I kNoW a KilLeR wHEn o SeE oNe" fuck off
S8 Jon was:
"she's my queen"
"i'm not a Stark"
"i don't want it" (iron throne)
8 years of loyal viewing down the toilet courtesy of inept writing.
That's not really true. Just because the end is a failure, it doesn't make the previous seasons any less brilliant.
You guys are living proof of the fact that the destination defines the journey. Which is nice. Thank you for suffering in my stead and saving me the torture of this disappointment
@@TruthWiz I think GoT season 8 is so bad that it ruins everything that came before it. Don't believe me? Try rewatching the earlier seasons knowing the horrible truth you know now. Maybe someday I'll drink enough bourbon to finally forget season 7 and 8 and enjoy 1-6 but that day is not today.
@@deavonw I hear you. To me, each episode and season is a work in its own. I simply disagree that the end necessarily retroactively ruins all the brilliance that came before. It certainly has its impact though. The ending of GoT is the single biggest betrayal of a fan base I've yet witnessed.
B. S. That’s what I’m most disgusted about. I absolutely loved this show. It’s an amazing dichotomy. Benioff and Weiss are amazing at bringing written words to life. We have 6 seasons of absolute brilliance. They are absolute hacks at creating fresh material. We have 1 season of total letdown, and 1 season of pure filth with 1 episode I actually like.
I will always divide GOT between GOT Seasons 1-4, seasons 5-6, and seasons 7-8.
1-4 were hands down among the greatest television in history.
5-6 were indicative of a slow decline in writing quality, but still had its share of excellent moments(Hardhome, Hold the door, etc.)
7-8 were when all creativity and intelligent writing was completely abandoned. Characters gained plot armor, something 1-4 never would’ve dared allow, previously smart characters were dumbed completely down for plot convenience, plot holes the size of the Grand Canyon began showing, and the abrupt killing off of the Night King actually ended the show for me(like, I legit didn’t watch the final 3 episodes of the show, since the Night King’s death killed the last shred of emotional investment I had in the show).
It’s amazing just how much my admiration for the previous seasons of the show has been completely replaced by disgust and contempt for the laziness of the later seasons quality. It actually puts the Simpsons to shame in that regard.
I saw the Night King's death coming from a million miles away. Arya's development screamed Deus Ex. When she pulled that drop knife trick in the sparring session with Heavy-B I remember asking myself "Who is she gonna use that on? Valyrian steel... Night King." I think a lot of the unhappiness with the ultimate story 'twists' come from people ignoring the blatant foreshadowing on so many characters. Jon stayed true to form, Dany stayed on her inevitable path to becoming the very thing she claimed she was fighting against, etc. etc.
@@johnowen9349 Foreshadowing isn't character development. Also, that knife drop hint and Bran giving the Dagger to Arya in the first place was all made up by D&D. Jon's resurrection had everything to do with him killing the Night King, their fight was built up from the first season (most definitely in the books). You can't just take one instance of foreshadowing and say that it's enough to be believable. Once the writers lost the books, they took it in their own direction. GRRM himself stated that the writers overtook him, which he did not expect. They had Arya kill the Night King at the last minute and ignored everything they created with George in previous seasons to "subvert expectations". They said it themselves, they were really only invested for The Red Wedding (one of the best subversions EVER which... they TRIED with that last season.
It's mostly because season 1 to season 4 ep 9 adapted the books fairly closely with minor (for the book readers often annoying and maybe cheaper to the plot), not very influential changes - see Talisa/Jeyne Westerling). In the final episode of season 4, there were 2 crucial changes that started the doom of the show - no Tysha reveal and no Lady Stoneheart. Season 5 continued in the same manor and 80% of the books 4&5 did not get adapted. Some characters "followed" their book arcs in broad strokes (Dany, Jon, Arya, Theon, Cersei were kind of similiar though not the same at all, but you could say they were doing what they were supposed to in general), some only very vaguely (for example Tyrion made it to Illyrio and then to Dany's court and met Jorah on the way there, but everything about the journey was different including Tyrion himself, he was severely whitewashed in the, show and Brienne was indeed looking for Sansa with Pod in the books but that's where anything even remotly similiar ends - she travels with different characters, runs into Randyll Tarly and finally gets captured by the Brotherhood in the Riverlands and kidnaps Jaime - yeah, not even close to the show), some were drastically different (Sansa, Jaime, Asha/Yara, Euron) and didn't do even anything similiar to what they were supposed to be doing in the books. Then there were characters and plots that didn't even make it to the show but were crucial (all of Dorne, Victarion, Aegon and Jon Connington). Still, season 5 and 6 were somewhat watchable, though far from the greatness of the previous 4. Season 7 and 8 hit the rock bottom. It's practically unwatchable due to the bad writing. Nothing makes sense. It's not even entertaining bad. It's just bad. Which is a shame given the fantastic cast, music and effects.
For me, after season 5. It was a steady decline into the final turd of a finale...
People like you are truly fucking sad .

I like how Jaime and Cersei had just one layer of bricks over them. It makes finding and uncovering the bodies a breeze. And the one thing sticking out just happened to be Jaime's most identifiable part. Lucky for Tyrion.

It makes me so sad how this show tanked itself. I LOVED this show and it was heartbreaking watching it crash and burn in such spectacular fashion. I can normally laugh off a shit ending to a show but for some reason this one just pisses me off. I’m no screenwriter but I can think of many ways they could’ve done this and all of them are better than what we got. Honestly if they announced they’re retconning S8 and doing it again I’d be fine with that. I’d happily bury this season and never return to it again. Jon should’ve been the king.
