i wanted them all dead. a real ode to the early seasons before people got plot armor.

they literally had white walkers and like 7 valerian steel swords together for a battle. there was so much opportunity to see some quality 1v1s end up in main character blood on the snow but no. they mailed it the frick in.

Great actor but that doesn't even make sense. I'd like to see him actually try to defend the writing.

Didn’t he state he never read the books and doesn’t watch the show (at the time), and really only read his scenes without ever knowing exactly what was going overall?

No, they didn’t like the finale because it and the final season as a whole played out like a shitty fan fiction.

As long as they were tall enough to get on, I didn't care who rode off into the sunset. He wasn't.

frick that noise. We wanted shite to make sense. We didn’t have to like it but it should have made sense not some subvert your expectations clown show shite.

Think of it like this, when Robert beat Rhaegar, was it a happy ending? The love of his life died in child birth giving birth to the enemy’s kid. His best fiend then hid that kid. He married a Lannister who was hooking up with her brother and would ultimately murder him. He had a hand of the king with a nut bag wife who would conspire with little finger against him. And on top of that Dani and her douche bag brother were still alive to threaten his claim to the throne. Robert and Cersei didn’t ride off into the fricking sunset and live happily ever after.

Jon and Dani ending up together is what made sense. And you could have done that without it being a magical fairy tale.

That whole Final Season was a total shite-show.

They should’ve just shite-canned it and left everyone hanging.

Literally ruined the entire series.

Nevermind the short joke, he comes across as kind of bitter and dumb in that interview. Like he can't put any real thought or consideration into why the fans disliked the show's conclusion, so he goes full "white people bad" as a default position.

He can frick right off.

Typical Hollywood point of view. Blame the fans for not understanding the story, rather than examine their disconnect with the fan base and examine what they did wrong.

Insulting the intelligence of GoT fans is the act of someone desperate to shirk their responsibilities for one of the biggest choke jobs in TV history. Getting GoT to the finish line was a piece of cake. A slam dunk. But they blew it. THEY blew it. Not the audience. Stop blaming the fans, a-hole.

Considering that The Pretty White Person associated with the show (Emilia Clarke) has said on several occasions she thought the final season in general and the finale in particular sucked the meat missile I don't think even his cast mates agree with him.

Wtf is he talking about? A white dude got the throne, a white guy who just said random shite for the last 2 seasons and added very little to help at that.

Tyrion is Tywin’s son and if he could have looked past his dwarfism he would be his favored child, flaws and all. Them not being biologically related ruins their relationship ...

Agreed. The hints they threw out about Tyrion maybe having Targaryen blood were very probably just GRRM red herrings. He threw out a lot of misleading clues throughout - I guess you almost have to if you are going to rely heavily on mysteries and reveals.

Weird take.

And the timing...wow. Talk about holding a grudge.

Pretty sure Tyrion was killed off in the books, wasn't he? Dan and Dave admitted they had no clue what they were doing, and lost the story as soon as they could no longer rely on George to feed them book ideas.

Why do actors take it so personally when a show they're on bombs so decisively and completely? I get the concept of standing up for your team and all, but man, take the L, little man. It wasn't your fault. No one's blaming you. Why ya gotta clap back at the fans. And after so much time has passed?

Let it go.


*whispers* He IS an angry elf!
