re: Dinklage says GOT fans didn’t like the finale cause 'they wanted the pretty white people…

I’m not seeing his point

He doesn't have one. He's just sounding off for his Hollywood peers so he can gain more favor. The actual ending of the show contradicts his dumb statement, and even his co-stars think it's awful.

He can say all the retarded shite he wants. The reality is the king is white, the small council are all white, a white woman rules the north, two white people literally already sail or ride into the sunset in Arya and Jon, and the only diverse people left are the remnants of Danny’s army who are unceremoniously shuffled off to die since they can’t repopulate.

What's truly bizarre is that of all people, HE doesn't need to gain favor. He's been box-office gold even before GoT, and that show only raised his stock. He can show up in an X-Men movie, an Adam Sandler movie, or anything he wants, an sells the crap out of it. The list of things he CAN'T do is pretty damn short, pardon the pun.

This seems to be a complete 180 to how he seemed to perceive the entire final season, where it was clear in interviews that any praise for it was given with a ton of eyerolls, sarcasm and just overall disdain.

I don't know if he changed his mind, or if HBO reminded him of a clause in his contract that said he had to shower the show with praise even on torture or pain.

Another thing I find hilarious about this is they completely white washed and neutered one of the best parts of the whole books imo, everything involving Dorne. Dorne gave them excellent material to bring to the story and have it be extremely diverse in its casting and they just didn’t care. Maybe Dinklage should shut up and act instead of trying to preach to people who undoubtedly know the story better.

The thing is I think Dorne and Faegon was essential to making Dany burning down King’s Landing actually effective. All that’s affected by it that we know of that are named are Cersei and her merry gang of sociopaths, and thus doesn’t work. Cersei committed a 9/11 with her wildfire plot, so I’m supposed to feel sad this is her fate? It’s be like al-Baghdadi killing Bin Laden and members of Al-Quada by hijacking planes. Sorry, I don’t feel bad for these people and the sequence is just ridiculous because of it.

"They wanted the pretty white people to ride off into the sunset together," Dinklage, who played Tyrion Lannister on the show, told the newspaper.

This is pretty small minded thinking from him. The show reached great heights but came up short in the end. It's no big deal, Peter.

Wait, what? How?

Aerys was obsessed with Tywin’s wife, and it’s rumored he raped her. Tywin’s one major flaw is being blind to his children backs this up as well. It would also be ironic if Jamie actually obeyed Aerys’ final order in killing his own father. This isn’t true on the show obviously, but it may be the case in the books.

He’s taking whokeness to new heights with that one.

The ending wasn't the problem. It's that the last season was rushed so the show runners could go do a star wars series(movie?) that they ended up not even doing. It should have taken at least one more season to wrap everything up. I remember going into the last season, seeing there was only 6 episodes, and was like "how are they going to wrap this up in only 6 episodes. There's no way". There was so many story lines going into that last season. I think everyone felt cheated after spending so many years watching the series.

All of this. I honestly don’t hate where some of the characters got to, it just was rushed so didn’t make sense in the story as a result. Mad queen, Clegane bowl, Melisandre’s and Theon’s sacrifices, Sansa ruling the north - I could be down with any of this honestly and some of the cinematography was incredible but the story lacked. Dany’s in particular.

The stuff I really hated was Bran being useless then king for no reason, Jon not being king for being the true hero, and Jamie’s backtracking/Cersei not getting a gruesome enough death.
