I enjoyed the final season.
They had the battle of the dead and the attack on King's Landing. Those events had to happen. I think they did extremely well on those two episodes.
They also completed character stories. Not sure what you people wanted or expected.
I think people are just pissed the show ended and this is how they handle it.

I liked it too
I also loved S6 and S7 and those get a lot of hate too
I’ve always said a “bad” episode of GoT is still better than 95% of TV

For the story not be so incredibly rushed and characters dumbed down because of it,

Dismissing criticisms out of hand is a weak rebuttal to those criticisms.

The bullet points of what happened were fine for the most part, but what made the show extraordinary from the beginning is that they went the extra mile in building the story up to those bullet points and did it in a way that it didn't seem like filler as it is on most shows. Season 8 in some instance just leapt right into the bullet point. You went from a show that masterfully crafted a story to a show that spit bullet points from GRRM's outline out at you.
I really don't understand why some people both don't get this and weren't bothered by this. I guess CGI fire breathing dragons are a big enough distraction for some people to not notice.

There's a difference between "completing character stories" and completing character stories satisfyingly. The show definitely did the former but effed up on the latter. The vast majority of critics of the final season, myself included, are pretty much fine with the direction these characters went. What we're upset with is how we got there.
Here's an example. Dany and Jon didn't meet each other until S7E3. Yet by S7E7, they were in love with one another and having sex in her cabin. I'm sure that's where they end up in the books, but the whole Jon-Dany love story felt rushed. Compare that to Jon and Ygritte. They meet mid-way through season two but don't consummate their relationship until late in season three. Time passes and their relationship is allowed to breathe and be fleshed out.
So when the two go their separate ways it's more tragic and heartbreaking for the audience because you know these two love each other. Ygritte's death scene was also more impactful than Dany's, which is a tragedy considering how Dany was arguably the most important character of the entire series.

People were pissed about this season way before the final episode.
Please watch and respond to this.

I agree. People are just mad the show didn’t end how they wanted it to end.

Winter is coming has been said for thousands upon thousands of years by the First Men and the Andals.
It is the Starks House quote, it is the firs thing we see in the show.
DnD had it last literally a night.

The problem is that people like you don’t think. You just eat up what’s given to you. And you try to appear to be the bigger person by not getting “emotional” or “upset”. That’s your defensive wall. But the problem is you end up looking like someone who doesn’t know any better.

This is the dumbest excuse defenders keep using. You act like this is the first good show to ever end or something.
