I could be incorrect in my recalling of that shite show finale but if not……

Jon is “exiled” to the wall and has ZERO interaction with Sam before he leaves. That is inexcusable.

He’s right. That’s exactly what I thought. And if you all weren’t hiding it like the secret white handshake we all pretend we don’t do every time we see each other, you’d admit it too.

I’m addition to what everyone else has said here, he’s also making the assumption that only white people watched GOT or hated the ending of GOT, which is absolutely not true.

The wokes tend to stereotype way more than the alleged racists.

What? It was in the cards that she was going to be insane. It was in her bloodline. She was trending heavily towards insanity way before that asinine ending.

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


To be fair, I don’t think that’s all on D&D. Kit Harington himself said that the entire cast and crew couldn’t wait for the series to end because the shooting schedule was brutal. It was nine months of shooting in a variety of locations across Europe for Season 8. No way the likes of Clarke, Dinklage and Harington would have signed up to go through that ordeal again.

Now he's a dumb as the writers. F me for ever getting involved on that heroine of a show.

This seemed clickbaity at first. Then I read that line and thought, "yeah clickbait"...but literally everything he said was wrong.

Doesn't matter who ends up on the throne? I mean that was the main driver of like 75% of the plot for 6 years soooo it kinda matters.

"change was gradual, power corrupts". My arse. There were entire character arcs thrown out and rebuilt in like 3 episodes those last 2 seasons.

"we subverted what you expect". Get off it. Doing dumb shite for the sake of not doing a trope isn't subverting anything. It is lazy writing.

This us just odd to me. I read yesterday he was in a movie where he played Hervé Villechaize who was French. People got mad cause they thought the dude wasn’t white and therefore dinklage shouldn’t have played him. Dinklage mostly told them they were stupid.

Last I will watch of any of his crap if he really said that. I think people would have been fine with Tyrion on top.

Last I checked Bran is white. I guess he thinks people don't like Bran because he is in a chair?

I really hope he didn't say that crap because it doesn't even make sense.

Hell, even if Grey Worm had killed Rob and somehow taken the throne, I would have liked that more than Bran.

Bran was the absolute worst choice. I wouldn't have been thrilled with Sansa but even she makes more sense than Bran.

He just speaks like that, really (see any other interview). He legitimately believes it was great, and legitimately believes what was quoted in OP.

The series took a turn south when the show caught up and then passed George Martin's books. Then they didn't have any source material from which to draw on, and GM wasn't exactly helpful in telling them what was coming next, because he hadn't written the story yet!

And STILL hasn't!

Dave and Dan then revealed they had no legitimate background to be doing this or any type of epic fantasy show, which is then why Disney Star Wars dropped them.
