"Predictable" is the wrong word. Arya's intervention against the night king wasn't at all predictable. It was conventional and that's what i think people are pissed about. Some martial artsy teenage girl comes in and capriciously kills this omnipresent, terrifying thing.

Like it or not but this was absolutely decided in front of some sorta focus group.

The show is now conventional and we're gonna get the same "dawn of a new day" ending to it we've seen a thousand times before in every disney fantasy movie, harry potter and lord of the rings knock off.

I expected better from all this.

As mentioned, did you actually think the WWs would win?

Plus, my hope is Arya, Cersei, and Dany are all pregnant and the show comes to some kind of conclusion that implies that their kids will fight the same fight their families have had for generations - in effect, the wheel and the fight or the throne never ends.
