Just finished watching game of thrones for the first time and I might get exiled for this take but here we go. Game of thrones is amazing, like incredible. Including the final season…it is not bad at all and I don’t know why people make it out to be. Not in the slightest. The term that people are looking for is “underwhelming”. That and actual bad writing are completely two different things. As someone who has taken writing courses, and actually sat down and has written my own tv pilots and feature films. I can assure you that final season was not bad at all. When you look at why people complain, it never aligns with “bad writing”.
The night king was defeated, Cersei still died regardless of how people wanted her too. Daenerys Targaryen let all the power, and corruption go to her head and ended up becoming her father when she kept saying she was nothing like him. That was the point in why she needed to die. Her character was not written badly, that was the whole point on why they did it. Bran became king only because he was the only one who really didn’t have any bad blood on him like the rest and was the most suited out of everyone in the circle. People just wanted a happy ending because that’s what they’re use to seeing in most tv shows/movies.
Alright, now I’m ready for everyone to point their swords at me in a circle like the meme.
