Game of Thrones is over: Fans react on Twitter, season 8 remake petition passes a million...

**MORE SPOILER**

I think you're going out of your way to try and find something wrong with it. Grey Worm had zero authority to summon a council like that. But the council members themselves sure as hell could - and obviously did. I didn't question that at all. Grey Worm was just the guard dog. Always was, always will be.

And why did they need to show Jon being captured? He was in the highest tower alone with Dany - that's it, and the guards knew that. After the dragon did his meltdown thing, Jon just stood there, knowing the arrest was coming. We didn't need to see that to know it was going to happen.

I thought the pacing and scene placements were just fine. I didn't need to see a micromanaged version of the show to understand what happened.

**SPOILER**

I don't see why they would summon themselves to a city were thousands of civilians were just burned alive. You don't think the heads of the other houses wouldn't think the dragon queen wants to kill any one who opposes her?

The only thing guarding that tower was the dragon, that was clearly shown. No guards outside and zero guard movement after the dragon did his thing. The fact that you have to assume things make this bad writing. It's pointless to argue over the hundreds of possible assumptions because the writers completely failed to correctly covey what actually happened. Notice how seasons 1 - 7 don't have this issue?

Funny how all these people demanding "better and more writing," can't be specific on what they want done. It's just a bandwagon catch-phrase to justify their whining that the series is over.

Thought it was a great ending that wrapped up every single loose end, and left the door open for at least 5 potential spin-offs either via new books or films that I could see.

To put it simply nothing cool happened this season. Well I thought it was cool when Kaleesi burned everyone alive, because it was the only interesting thing that happened. But you want ideas? Were not writers... But!

That fire guy, when they were fighting the undead, he could have kept getting killed and coming back to life. He could have flamed up in the middle of the fight and shot fire from his dead eye while burning himself alive.

Arya, low hanging fruit here... At some point pull unexpected face change? Or some new skill from the faceless god.

Fire chick, enhance the dragons fire? Summon a fire creature to fight. Blow up dead bodies with corpse explosion. Instead she lit some weapons on fire... In the same manner tar could have achieved. At least they should have turned bright orange. And let us see that they could now cut through shield\weapons and bones with ease. Leaving a simmering red hot smoking gash in anything that was cut.

Doth raki, actually see them do some fighting. Boasted to be some of the best in the world... well I thought one day we would get to see that.

Unsullied, Grey Worm, Jorah Mormont the same.

The mountain. I mean he fought the hound, that was ok, but seeing him do some real damage would have been awesome. Like smashing around 3-5 soldiers at a time. Then maybe finally facing the hound and have that lady knight step in and start help the hound when all hope looks lost. He could have been taken control of or infiltrated the ice king because he's undead.

Maybe say the dragon is flying by, The Mountain pushes a crumbly castle wall onto the dragon, then after the stones hit The Mountain lands on the dragon furiously stabbing its head and or eye with a giant sword.

Bran Stark summon an animal army... Tell Arya to take his face and kill the night king. Activate that tree god thing, have a bunch of roots start taking down the night king, trapping him or helping with the defense pulling undead soldiers into the ground.

The Hound, what I listed or getting over his fear of fire from the help of that fire guy. To go on and burn to death while holding off an unrelenting force with maddening rage.

Dire wolf, go get a bunch of other dire wolfs and come back at the peak of battle.

Undead Hodor?

The dragon could have dropped big rocks on those ships during the night so they couldn't see him and or dove under water taking them out from below. Say at one point during the fight, the dragon gets shot down. Kaleesi is floating in the water. The bad captain guy comes up and is about to shoot her. Then bam from below the dragon bites the ship in half! Goes back under water and begins his under water siege.

Well that took me about 30 minutes.



P.S.

The dragon is flying by the crumbling red keep. The mountain pushes a portion of the stone wall down onto the dragon. Following close behind the falling rubble the mountain lands on the dragon. While spiraling towards the city streets the mountain furiously stabs at the dragons head. Upon impact the dragon is knocked out. Kaleesi foot is stuck under a rock. The mountain walks up to the dragon with a spear taken from a dead unsullied. As he lifts the spear, The Hound suddenly charges The Mountain. The Mountain narrowly misses the dragons eye. The 2 fight it out, the hound does some damage. Looking hopeless the lady knight steps in. An orange substance pours out of the spear wound. Parts of the dragons flesh catch fire. The dragon wakes up, flies to the ocean and dives in. Flash back to The battle with the Mountain. The new pair are beaten back. A doth raki soldier rushes in. The mountain ***** slaps the horse. Knocking the rider\horse to the ground. Kaleesi holding onto a piece of wood in the ocean is just about to be shot by a scorpion. Her dragon bursts up and splits the ship in half. With his wounds cauterized he dives back down into the depths, picking off the ships one by one.

Remake an entire season because the fans don't like the ending?

Well, there is a precedent for that. Remember the time that the series Dallas started a new season with a character waking up from a dream... that turned out to be what people were watching during the previous season?

Will anything change? -no.

Will the future be different - we can only hope.

These types of petitions and outcries are just a way to measure the response of people, hopefully the writers and whoever in charge sees it and changes.
If they keep up doing stupid things people might just not watch their future content with the expectation that it will be butchered again.

Art should never reactionary.

This just seems par for the course for media now. Disney does the same thing with marvel and star wars: just make it shiny, sure people whom actually CARE about our product and the story/characters will be upset but we can make MONEY RIGHT NOW OMFGBBQ!>!>!!!!11!

It's short term thinking that is so prevalent because people have shown, time and time again to be forgiving sheep, whom will run back to their media daddys the moment they put out something decent again. You see this most obviously in games, where despite the whinging about broken games with 50GB patches, microtransactions, lootboxes, and abusive behavior, said gamers continue to pre order and purchase these games sight unseen, and in the music industry, where despite complaints about generic samey sounding music the same boring tracks sell like hotcakes every year.

Media companies have figured out that people will gobble up the pig slop, complain about it, then go right back to slurping up as much as they can get. GoT, the main season, is over, so likely the writers just didnt GAF about what their customers wanted, and just did whatever they felt like, knowing their customers will just come back for the next installment anyway.

Alright we get it; final season of Game of Thrones hasn’t exactly been the best one.

It’s the worse case scenario for everyone and it’s a bad situation because the actors have had to work with what they were given and it’s unfair to the fans because we care about the story and the characters involved.

With that being said, the negativity is exhausting, unhealthy, and unnecessary; the ending is not great. But I feel as though everyone deserves to have their own experience.

Watch it
Feel it
Process it however you have to and don’t let others’ opinions shape your own.

There isn’t a single Game of Thrones fan that should let the ending of the series ruin the experience we’ve all gone through over the course of eight years.

Could the show have been better? If the writers had taken their time with the last season and not rushed ahead with character arcs and creating plot twists that either made no sense or were undeserving, than yes.
I’ll admit, I’m also upset on how the final season has turned out.
However, as unfair as it is to the fans for not get the ending we wanted, it’s more unfair to ask HBO to bring back the cast and crew to make a “do-over” season with better writers just because it didn’t please everyone. (Even the cast members admitted in separate interviews that they were also disappointed in how the series ended).

Instead of criticizing Game of Thrones on how it’s ending should have been handled, let’s just be appreciative and thankful to the directors, crew members, and especially the cast for making this show as memorable as possible over the past 8 years.

This comment is a great example. "Guyz, I know the latest season was horse manure, but it isnt FAIR to criticize them for replacing a 5 course meal with regurgitated McDonalds, they did so well before this, lets congratulate them with forced smiles!"

No. GoT's crew and cast has already received heaps of praise over the years for its quality film-making, they absolutely need to be called out for this behavior, and more importantly, people need to stop rewarding HBO for making it. You dont fix the problem by ignoring it.

There is no problem. You didn't like the last season. Neither did I. Neither did many. But it's not our art. Don't be a spoiled, entitled fan who throws tantrums when he/she doesn't get exactly what they want from someone else's art.
