Sandor hurt, the whole Clegane bowl missed the entire point of his character arc.
ArcaneConjecture
Exactly. Gregor was ALREADY DEAD. Sandor was just hacking up an animated corpse.
theonijester
As a fan of GoT, I expected twists. I expected death. I didn't expect characters to change their natures like babies in diapers.

I'm still not over season 8. D&D made me love something just to have it hurt me.

GoT only has 7 seasons. I like them. Hope they make a good ending one day...

Starks: Jon is our brother, and the rightful heir to the Iron Throne. He should kill Daneyrs. Jon: *Kills Danerys* Starks: lol Jon who?
PhobianDarkmoon
In Jaime's case is made zero sense. Is it possible to make negative sense? If so many negative sense. The rest had some justification
CalumFace
What? Jamie loved his sister, tried to do the right thing and leave, and ultimately came back. SooOooOooOoo confusing, wRiTeRs mUsT sUcK.
WellWellWellLookWhoItIs
I’ve never seen such a dominant pop culture phenomenon disappear so quickly. Maybe even faster than Lost.

And yet neither were as bad as people like to point out. Who knew.

Sansa: I want to be Queen of the North. Oh, Bran’s King, Jon’s over the wall. Rickon and Robb dead. Sweet. I’m Queen of the North.

Her's was the only character ending I actually liked.

Oh no, it's K-K-K-Ken coming to k-kill me!
JustBoone
Well I'm not actually mad at The Hounds ending. He was about the only person I expected with the strength and drive to kill that monster.
DaMackies
Eh, I disagree. Cleganebowl was a meme. The Hound had grown beyond it and the Mountain was a fucking zombie.
PhobianDarkmoon
Yeah, it would be nice if it didn't feel quite so pointless but it did have a decent narrative arc.
CandiedCorn
Bunch of crazy people on here talking about "season 8" as if the show wasn't suddenly canceled in season 7.

Wow this sort of post takes me back

i haven't watched season 8, and I don't think i need closure, it's fine. better not to ruin it
CalumFace
Or not base your opinion om what the cry babies say. You know, habe your own opinion after watching it?
Spiderbubble
Just live in the bliss of ignorance on this one.
Jenvas
everyone involved did such a great job, just not the writers.
nosaucesbutapplesauces
I really really enjoyed watching the documentary of the last season. Such passion and commitment poured into that show!
Jackofslayers
I think with a fuck up that bad you can also blame higher ups like directors and producers for allowing the finished product as it was
Jenvas
that's true

Daenerys being mentally unstable and being completely unfit to rule absolutely fits.
Fenix12549
The books to me had it more as she's 13 and nobody cares that a 13 year old girl wants to conquer a city and change its traditions
definitelynotawolf
All they had to do was wait until after the bells told to kill Rhaegal instead of the idiotic way they did It in the previous episode

*tolled
Crowlands
She just kinda forgot about the iron fleet. Despite the previous scene discussing tactics referring to them in detail...
definitelynotawolf
I care more about the fact that the shots from the ballistae that killed him were impossible, even if he wasn’t a fucking dragon
Crowlands
The standard argument is "Yes, if it weren't handled so utterly ineptly." She just flips the evil switch.
Crowlands
It's not "She's killing Innocents because they're in her way and she's mad with vengeance" it's "Suddenly she just wants to murder randos."
Crowlands
Though honestly, I'm more mad about Jaime. "I never really cared for the people" says man who sacrificed everything for the people...
Sxualhrssmntpanda
It fits and was definitely foreshadowed, but the turn was extremely sudden and unnecessary. Couldve been more believable with another season
BaelKor
It was foreshadowed in about the same way that they foreshadowed Rose Quartz being Pink Diamond: as in, they did generic, vague assertions.
Crowlands
Nah, see, she executed people [Cue montage of other characters, heroic or evil, executing people]. Well shit, guess John's gonna go mad.
failedtodelete
I suspect that this is one of those transformations that is very difficult to do outside of the books, given that it requires so much focus
BaelKor
I have no doubt that it COULD be done. They had the opportunity to keep going for several more seasons, at least.
failedtodelete
on the transformation.
Jack97315
It was literally a sitcom ending: nothing changed and the ending is the same as the beginning
Doumdidoum
Everybody hated the way Seinfeld ended. That's why the sit com endings are all the same, now.
ThisGuyPostingThings
It's weird, because I hadn't heard any hate for that ending until more recently. Everyone I knew loved that way of finishing Seinfeld.
Doumdidoum
I loved it too, but everybody else I knew hated it. Plus the critics panned it.
ThisGuyPostingThings
Looking at numerous other series finales, I'd still rank it pretty high. Maybe Top 10 or even Top 5, though I don't have a solid list.
fairybug
Friendly reminder that GRRM said that the books will end the same way. Even with extra time to get there, I don't care for this ending.
DaMackies
Yeah, but the show deviated wildly from the books over the years, you can't then railroad all the characters and plots to the same endings.
fairybug
I wouldn't say 'wildly', but yeah, there were some notable changes. Which really begs the question of why GRRM said that.
SophieClockwise
The books literally *can't* end the same way without throwing out half of what has been written, and changing half the rest of what's left.
GooseNipples8
$100 says GRRM dies before he finished the series.
fairybug
Hell no, I'm not betting against that certainty. I just hope they let it all die with him.
PangolinBan
I liked (most of) the ending just fine. I didn't like how they got there, but where they ended up was fine. Jaime in the end not being 1/3
PangolinBan
2/3 able to overcome his love for his sister? Fine. Danaerys going mad and Jon at long last realizing it? Fine. The Imp coming up with a
PangolinBan
3/3 solution that's actually a real departure from the way it was before that led to all this war and suffering? Fine. Seriously, it works.
fairybug
Also: The White Walkers. I just can't see how defeating an allegory for global warming in a single climactic siege was good storytelling.
fairybug
I disagree that the new system will necessarily work better. The others you have a point on, but that last? I just don't see it.
PangolinBan
It's not that it will necessarily work better - it's that it at least will not repeat the same mistakes from before. Whether it'll be 1/2
shawberry
I agree with most of what you are saying except Jaime's part..... such a wasted arc!
PangolinBan
Why is it a wasted arc? He failed to overcome his greatest flaw, yes, but sometimes that's what happens. It's similar to big name 1/2
PangolinBan
2/2 characters dying - if nobody meaningful ever dies, there's no suspense; but if nobody meaningful ever fails, that is equally true.
fairybug
It's not that he failed to overcome his greatest flaw -- it's that he totally did overcome it, then flip-flopped for cheap drama's sake.

Felt better about the Jaime/Cersei arc after this
fairybug
The song is certainly beautiful, but it still requires several seasons of change (and growth) to be ignored on both their parts.
agentlemansagreement
he has recently said that we saw "an ending" not "the ending." so I'm holding out hope that if it's similar, itll be better explained.
fairybug
I have no doubt it'll be better-explained. I just don't think it's a good ending.
Highschoolnickname
“The books will end.” Lol
fairybug
Yeah, I'd have to have my head further up my ass that D&D and GRRM put together if I thought that was ever gonna happen.

In the books perhaps but they were never portrayed as such on the screen.

Damn it, OP, I had just about repressed those memories
VitaminP6
I watched that entire fucken season stoned and still can't repress it
doguapo
Or when the creators planned to make a prequel GoT spin-off...and then they changed their mind...
definitelynotawolf
They have recently green lit a show on the Dance of the Dragons, which is what I was really hoping for
Crowlands
Well, at least That had a logical progression: Season 8 killed all interest, ergo, why bother.
cheeseguy3412
They started making several, then cancelled 1 or 2. There's still more than 1 in the works, last I checked.
Eldis
Season 8 was so bad they'll prolly end up canning it. People hate GoT with a passion, and for good reason.
cheeseguy3412
Very possibly - the last season was like a D&D campaign where the DM got bored, and tableflipped / went home. 1/2
cheeseguy3412
Still, with different directors / an era that isn't well covered historically, a new setting in the same world might be ok. 2/2
Eldis
I've actually done that. 3.5ed, a player wanted Vow of Poverty -feat for his animal companion - he argued for 30 mins with me, then I left.

I started calling a character in Picard “Space Theon” and every now and then I have GOT flashbacks to S8 disappointment.

I have not seen the show but based on your description I will say yes
mottledbear
Aw fuck. I'm not going to be able to think of him as anything else now.
Jackofslayers
Is that show good. Also what service do I need to “subscribe to” to watch?
osglith
It’s a CBS show. I actually like it. It is NOT Picard as we remember him. He is very frail, but the show has bones.
Dacricket
CBS. Or the CBS channel subscription on Amazon.

Which character?

Here he is...

That Romulan guy who romanced Soji in his first scene, fucked her in his second scene, used the L word in his fourth or fifth scene /1

with her - and then his evil sister was revealed. It's already a godawful plot (and the rest feels more and more like a /2

"Look at all the TNG references!" parade) /end

Oh yeah, now that you mention it, he really *is* Space Theon
Callbox
Greyworm: You killed the queen and I am aware of this but I'll just fuck off half way across the world and let your family take the throne.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
You mean: Fuck off to live with the people who consider you a living god. Yeah, that's a fucking great punishment.
FoeOfFauxPho
i know right? he acted like he had no balls.
Phathongas
Also dont forget that greyworm and his army went to a place where if you're not a native you'll straight up die from butterflies
Eldis
Are you saying there's something magical in Westeros that gets people from distance roughly over the Mediterranean Sea killed? Cause 1/2
DanglyDongle
Missandei is from Naath. The peaceful native Naathi are immune to a flesh eating type disease spread by local insects but GreyWorm will die
TooFunkToDrunction
Slavers can grab natives close to shore, as if you only stay on the island at night you have a small chance of contracting it.
Eldis
there's a lot of invasions around the mediterranean with similar condition changes, and those armies didn't just die en masse. 2/2
RackhamTheRed
Well.. They often did die en mass. Not from butterflies, I'll give you that, but usually from gi infections
BriefausdemGeist
No, the Isle of Naath where they sail off to has deadly butterflies.
Eldis
Wait what the fuck? OK, sorry for coming off like that, I had no clue about that, and apparently neither did the shitty writers.
SeaDuke
Wasn’t Greyworm the one who forced Jon to live beyond the wall? Right before leaving for Naath forever? I never understood that.
Domivla
Well he did kill his queen. He wanted revenge.
SeaDuke
I understand revenge, but Greyworm threatened war unless his demands were met, and then just left the continent with the Unsullied.
MushinMan
Sansa: The north will be a soverign kingdom and ppl are just cool with it like they didn't just have a war about this shit not being cool
DulothX
Snow: I killed the queen with no witnesses, the dragon took her body, and if I'd lie just this once I could fix everything and not die.
BanadecCamberbootch
HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS! YOU SEE THAT BIG SPLATTER ON THE GROUND? DROGON WENT BONKERS, SQUISHED DANY, MELTED THE THRONE, AND FLEW OFF!
DulothX
..I was thinking more along the lines of "She flew off. I'm in charge for now, she'll be back when she's got herself sorted. Lets clean up."
Robbann
"Hidden Lannister guard killed her, Drogon ate him, then he took her body and flew off" that's litterally all he needed to say
DulothX
On the one hand, it would work. On the other, you'd see the entire Lannister family burned alive for that one. I'd go with 'she flew off'.
BanadecCamberbootch
I think the people outside saw her limp body in the claws. But yeah, still.
DulothX
She was being carried by Drogon, and Snow was still alive. Honestly, I would not have assumed Snow killed her if he didn't tell me.
