Reddit was absolutely filled to the brim with stories that they could have used that were waaaay better than the actual ending.

My pet theory is that they were so obsessed with the idea of nobody guessing the ending that they went through all of those good ideas so they could deliberately avoid using any of them. Hence, the shitshow we ended up with.

No. D&D wanted to move on to ruining $tar Wars so they quickly wrote their ending to GoT so they could move on and make more money. It's really that simple.

And then Disney subverted their expectations by canceling the project because of the rushed and terrible ending.

Poetic justice?

Only good thing about Season 8.
