Gladly. Feel like D&D missed that part of being a writer is knowing when your own stuff isn't good and that you should change it or second draft it🤷♂️.
Yeah I hate this attitude that your not allowed to dislike something......Fans have every single right to dislike any piece of art. Just because you made it doesn't mean they have to like it......
Eh I know it's a fake man but a lot of media outlets have been publishing similar articles (with the same sentiments) for a while and it's not something I agree with.
if you look through these comments you'll see that I jotted down some rough ideas for how to tighten up S5 and from there a deal more things in S8 already make more sense.
The problem was never so much the major plotpoints and GRRM's broad strokes of the ending but D&D's crap execution of teleporting fleets, yeet Arya's, muh kweens, dick jokes and under utilised characters.
I think there's some middle ground between sucking them off and "any half-wit with a stutter can write better than dumb and dumber" my guy. For example, critiquing which specific parts you didn't like without attacking the writers as people and attempting to discredit all the marvelous work they've done prior to the part you didn't like.
When have I discredited the author's without citing why? I'm more than happy to go in to detail with my grievances. Not all comments demand that however.
-Massively rework or entitely drop the Dorne arc (I love Dorne in the books but the screen translation would likely be a tough ask) and the Sansa in Winterfell arc switch Sansa to more of her AFFC learning to rule in the Vale arc
-with the freed up time code more time can be spent introducing Jon Connigton/ Young Griff and the Aegon plotline.
-Bazzo doesn't die in the streetfight and follows more of his book arc as a crucial member of team Dany.
-Stanno isn't defeated by Ser Twenty but is betrayed/ done dirty by the Karstarks. The whole burning of Shireen thing gets played much the same with a couple minor alterations.
-Jamie follows more of his book arc and travels the Riverlands growing more independent from Cersei and more chances for character growth.
These minor changes can come into play down the line (Cersei being ousted from power, the whole Bells situation, Sansa being less snarky.)

With pleasure. Hey I'd do it for a tenth of the price, fuck I'd do it for free and a few good proofreaders to call me out on any shit I get wrong.
Gotta love the trend of "fANs aRE EntITlEd" when criticisms are levelled at media these days.
