Jon's ending was great! The amount of times throughout the series that it was said "you belong in the north...the real north." He was free. He was most himself when among the free folk. Bran knows that. "You were where you were supposed to be." Him sending Jon to the Nights Watch was letting Jon go free without letting Grey Worm realize.

2023-08-16 11:21:46 +0000 UTCThat's my thing with these last two seasons in particular -- where we ended up could have made sense (for most of the characters and plot points) but they rushed it way too much & therefore made it feel like character development WHIPLASH. But shit like Bran being the king never would have made sense bc what the hell. So much contradictory dubmassery in the writing.

2023-06-26 05:49:39 +0000 UTCI knew your soul died with Dany đ Not a single word or expression from you after that. This was exactly međ . Now since the series is over, as you know D&D f*cked up the story. The story was a slow decline since season 5-6 and steep decline towards the end seasons. The once clever Tyrion started being dumb. Trying to talk reason with Cersei. And his reasons are "I don't want to hear the screams". In season 7 when they were planning for that meeting with Cersei, this sane Tyrion suggested that they take all her armies and dragons to King's Landing so if anything was to happen to her, the city will burn. Now he changed his mind? Remember once upon a time how Tyrion survived Eyrie, mountain clans, his reign as the hand of Joffrey. How brilliant he was. Now he's a joke. It's because show runners don't know to write a character like him like George R R Martin wrote. Coming to Daenerys, some Disney fans will say she was always mad. But I disagree. If she was mad and cruel, she wouldn't have felt heartbroken seeing dying slaves in Astapor and decides to give them water. She said she don't want the blood of innocents on her hands. She tried saving those women from Dothraki r*pe. She freed thousands of slaves and stayed back in Meereen to maje sure they are safe. She could have just took all the wealth from Meereen and left to Westeros if she was a mad greedy person. But she didn't. Final season was a Stark fans service. D&D didn't know to write better. If anyone say this is what George R R Martin said the story will end, it's wrong. He only gave some points (like the Hodor's death) to the show runners. And George clearly mentioned that books are gonna end way different (if books ever come out). Making Sansa a b*tch was unnecessary. Why did she hate Dany when she came to help the North? Should she have taken back her armies back then? Now some people will say they would have won the war without Dany's army. That's just nonsense. Arya wouldn't have survived to kill the Night King if it weren't for her armies and dragons. And while Dany was fighting outside, Sansa b*tching about Dany, hiding in the crypts. Why make Sansa like that? D&D just wanted to get it done. That's all. People who hate Dany are just Stark fans and hate Dany because she's the competition for Starks among the fan favourite character. That's all. So they try finding mistakes in whatever she does.

2023-06-20 23:35:37 +0000 UTCI always interpreted it as they just hear the places she's naming and after last episode are assuming whatever she's saying can't be good

2023-06-15 06:06:35 +0000 UTCThat's a good point about Sansa. She was pretty ruthless with Ramsey at the end and cunning with Littlefinger's death so if she had more power, like Dany did, perhaps she too would have "gone mad."

2023-06-04 18:10:30 +0000 UTCI appreciate your perspective, thatâs the fun of watching shows together đđŸ. I just never believed In prophecy in general, even if Dany did. I feel we choose our own destiny. The potential for Dany to be destructive was always there im not blind to that but it didnât have to be her end all be all. Cersei and all the other little devils just killed cause they wanted to, they werenât trying to be better or make the world a better place. Dany was, even with her flawed thinking in the end, she truly believed she was gonna be doing the world justice and thats more than any of those other folks had to offer. I still wouldâve loved to see more of the mad queen arc since that was the route they were going. We needed more time đ

2023-05-29 17:01:51 +0000 UTCI respect your opinion. You might not believe in destiny but Daenerys sure did đđ and thatâs how GRRM wrote her story. Daenerys whole campaign was that she is different. You canât say you are liberating and freeing people and at the same time burning them because they wonât follow you. And you are right Cersei wouldâve did the same or worse which means Dany is no better than any of the people you named. See the hypocrisy?? This is one of the red flags. I understand what you are saying because D&D botched showing her flaws and turn her into this âgirl power saviorâ. Example is she stopped mirri from being raped in season 1. But what the show doesnât elaborate on this fact that the whole reason she was getting raped was because Dany wanted Drogo to get ships to go to Westeros. And what does dany do?? Keeps the woman she saves as a slave, offers her to her rapist as a wife, and then burns her alive because she didnât save the man who killed off her whole village. I started off rooting for Daenerys as well but the signs were always there whether you want to admit to it or not. As I said in my original post people should really appreciate the story for what it is regardless of how they think or wanted it to turn out. Thanks for your response. I know you canât change people opinions and my post was meant to inform on what concept of the GOT is trying to portray.

2023-05-29 01:25:06 +0000 UTCI hear you but I disagree fam, I donât believe in destiny bs, your shaped by the things happening around and to you. A truly destructive person doesnât listen to reason, Dany did. Yes her instincts were bold and unfavorable but then again who wasnât like that?? Jon was as close to perfect until the end when they made him a Queen Slayer. Imagine the Lannisters with dragon fire, or Stannis, Littlefinger none of them good people, all who would use power for their own cause. Dany cared about those people on her side whereas someone like Cersei doesnât care who is on her side, its all about whoâs useful to her, same with Littlefinger. She wouldâve made life great for the people who accepted her. Unfortunately in this world people who donât support you are threats and she wants to eliminate all that. I fully support her and I listened to everything she said and I accepted it. Would I have liked her to be perfect yes but sheâs not and sheâs still not half as bad as any of the other leaders weâve seen. Cerseiâs killed, tortured and burned for less and didnât care who was hurt but wasnât nobody betraying her and stabbing her like they did Dany dirty. Iâm sorry but the Bran thing was out of the left field it almost suggests he knew all these events would play out and he helped set them in motion putting Dany on a bad path where she was stripped of all the people who brought out the best of her humanity.

2023-05-28 18:43:06 +0000 UTCDaenerys story is meant to be a cautionary tale about how we as humans will accept brutality as long as itâs aimed at people we consider deserving of that punishment. It shows how we fall into the trap of supporting people who turn out to be bad because we like them or align with their beliefs and ignore the red flags. I donât think Dany was mad. She has always been ruthless to people she considered her enemies. It just so happened that most of her enemies were bad people and we cheered her on. In Essos she talked of laying waste to cities and returning Qarth, Astapor, and Yunkai to the dirt (this would include killing all the innocents slaves if you didnât know cuz where they gon go once she do that??? ). Anyways she doesnât consider the people of Kings landing innocent because they havenât turned on Cersei for her. Go back and listen to her and Tyrionâs last conversation in the throne room at dragon stone. She has always been this way itâs just that now she no longer has advisors to reign her in and she is aiming at people we know. This was never meant to be a fairy tale ending with Dany on the throne or w/jon. She has always been fire and blood (dragons plant no trees). She was meant to destroy not build. I believe Bran was always meant to be king. Like Tyrion said this is basically the story of how he became King. Game of thrones starts with Bran (show&book) and it ends with him on the throne. I really wish people would start appreciating the story for what it is and not what they want it to be.

2023-05-24 17:46:47 +0000 UTCLol I know you just finished the series so a rewatch prob wouldnât happen for a WHILE ⊠but it really is different on a second view. You notice sooo many more little clues. Def at least recommend rewatching the scene from the house of the undying on YouTube. But yeah they took her evil arc from 0 to 30 then full blast to 200 đ
Melissa C
2023-05-24 17:26:18 +0000 UTCIt was definitely always meant for Dany to go mad IMO, itâs just like you said, it was rushed. I think the author even said it shouldâve been 10 seasons.
Derek Jones
2023-05-24 17:20:27 +0000 UTCHey Melissa đ I can definitely see how they set up the Mad Queen arc (and I would've loved to see more of her dark side grow), I just think the ending we got was too sudden which is why it didn't make sense. Not with the material we were given, she has been more good and has done more good on this show than bad. So yeah they rushed this arc too hard cause the switch up was soo sudden. I just wish they would've given her a spin-off to truly flesh out the mad queen arc.

2023-05-24 17:19:36 +0000 UTCIT HAPPENED WAYY TOO FAST
Big Bro & Lil Sis Reacts
2023-05-24 17:14:28 +0000 UTCSooo I actually really love the ending. Iâve rewatched the series a few times and I believe it was always intended for Dany to go mad. Thereâs so much foreshadowing (like way back in season 2 with the episode where Dany goes to the house of the undying. She sees a vision of herself approaching the iron throne with nothing but ashes all around). The show started planting seeds very early on with Dany becoming more aggressive and unwilling to listen to her advisers. As Tyrion said, we continued to cheer for her. I think of course they probably planned for a more gradual build up to this and sadly rushed the last 2 seasons so it couldâve absolutely been done better. ALSO lol Emelia Clarke has stated in interviews she was hoping something different for her character as she was rooting for her and that she thinks the ending couldâve been delivered better had they been given more time ⊠but she doesnât see how Dany couldâve had a triumphant ending. she definitely never tried to change the ending or said that itâs ânot what Dany wouldâve done â or that it made no sense for her character. Iâve seen people falsely claiming that.
Melissa C
2023-05-24 17:11:39 +0000 UTCAwwww Iâm sorry that broke you like that. However I could see when your sadness turned to anger and I was like âoh he about to go offâ lol. I do think though the plan was always for Dany to become the âmad queenâ and be killed but the rapid pace they reached that destination didnât sit right with me. Bran being the âkingâ was whatever to me because I was over it at that point. Everything felt rushed. All the things that I felt like they were leading up to ended up going nowhere. I look forward to your House of the Dragon reaction!

Sasha
2023-05-15 20:51:19 +0000 UTCI donât know yâall have seen it more times then me but my interpretation is Sansa didnât per say go down a bad revenge path because she had little power. Itâs easy to say someone didnât go down a revenge path when they didnât have the capabilities to. As far as the Winterfell stuff all she said was she was going to end Tyranny all the way from Winterfell the top of the map since the White walkers killed everything up to that point to the bottom of the map Dorne. And even if she did mean going to each place and making them bend the knee it shouldnât have mattered about Sansa nor Arya because they have no power, they ran nothing at the time, Jon was king in the north and wouldve been the King of the seven kingdoms with Dany, itâs his say as its been since they took back Winterfell. I really donât feel we could gage how far gone she was from one real conversation, had Jon really been there and married her and co-ruled I think he couldâve helped temper her worst impulses just like Jorah, Messandi, Ser Barristan and Tyrion (at a time) but he didnât try hard enough and that was out of character for Jon. When has he ever done what people told him to do, he always found an alternate solution even when things seemed impossible. Dany just went through back to back trauma no one would be themselves immediately after she needed time to mellow over, that she how I feel. Now had she been like this for awhile and wasnât listening to reason and continuously killing innocents then yeah she gotta go but I didnât get enough from the show to warrant that ending from her! That wasnât the Dany I watched the past year.
Big Bro & Lil Sis Reacts
2023-05-15 18:40:05 +0000 UTCBut I do like how you are on her side and see how mad we were that they made her character this way. None of this made sense and even with Arya character arc.
Elle Reacts
2023-05-15 17:35:27 +0000 UTCHere are my thoughts Tomaji cause a lot of people like yourself were on Dany side. You said she been through too much is why she is filled with rage. Well, just like dany, Sansa was raped, beaten, etc. but never turned like that. Dany saw her BF get killed in front of her and Sansa saw her dad get killed in front of her. Just like in the real world-when bad things happen to you, you can either pick yourself back up or go down the path of revenge. When dany stood up there and said she was going to take over everything(winterfell), that is when Jon finally opened his eyes and saw there was no helping her. Cause he knew his brother and sisters were not going to bow to her. In the words of Morgan-She was too far gone. Winterfell was taken from them many times. They fought too much to get it back, to only have one more person to try and take it again. I will say it again, all she had to do was burn up the spot where Cersei was. Not kill the innocent and the ones that surrendered. Most of the people in king's landing had no choice but to stay there and bow to cersei. They had nothing so they stayed where they could at least get something.

2023-05-15 05:46:30 +0000 UTCNo great questions Curtis, the only thing Dany did prior to coming to Westeros that I felt was a bad decision was when you killed the person who was the son of a slave master and they hissed at her after she killed him for killing a former master. After that I feel her only mistake was listening to her advisors and honestly putting Jonâs mission before her own. Had she taken Kingâs Land shortly after she arrived she wouldâve taken their surrender via bell ringing and it wouldâve been a simple take down with the casualties being contained to soldiers. She wouldnât have lost anyone close to her to be driven mad like in 8x05. She wouldâve had the Throne which wouldâve helped free up the map for the Long Night and which wouldâve allowed assistance from Dorne because they were the bottom of the south and couldnât move with our Cersei & Euron taking advantage of that, we wouldâve been able to use Riverruns since Lannisters would no longer have pull there and boom any other houses that belonged in the south wouldâve had to bend the knee or be removed until everyone complied. We wouldâve had more fighters and nothing to worry about but the long night. Instead Dany took several Ls. Lost all the people who kept her worst instincts at bay, had Jonâs secret threatening her which led to several different betrayals, and well you know how the rest goes. Beyond that no I generally agreed with most of her decision making, thats why she is one of my favorites. Now I see the seeds where they couldâve built her up to the mad queen because alot of times when she was angry she wanted to do drastic things and the people closest to her were able to talk her down or offer up alternate solutions, they were a piece of her humanity and once they started dying so did the part of her that showed Mercy. So I could see what they were going for and it wouldâve worked with more time and build up, but going based off of what they gave us in the past, this moved wayy to fast to make any logical sense. Hope that answered your question.
Big Bro & Lil Sis Reacts
2023-05-15 02:56:15 +0000 UTCI know you think that the writers did Dany dirty by making her wait to attack Cersei until after the Long Night. But do you think Dany made any other mistakes this season or before? Because I understand riding for your favorite characters (Jon and Arya are mine and Iâll defend them until Iâm blue in the face), but it seems like because you love Dany so much youâre willing to forgive/pardon anything she does regardless of whether she was right or wrong. So Iâm curious if you think she made decisions along the way that lead her to this fate, or if you think this was solely bad writing with no real, logical buildup? (No shade btw, just seeking to understand where you are in your process)

Dany was no different than any of them. And there is no message here, whats the point? Oh no, youâre a slave to your genes?! Gtfoh with that BS. And the abomination of using Niemollers poem from the Holocaust HERE is an absolute insult. What morons. What thoughtless idiots. Dany was trying to end slavery, and suddenly sheâs a fascist?! Dany has had hard power and hard times for years and never once did anything like this. And there wasnât even a credible reason in the show for why she would do something like this. Its bullshit. They wanted to kill her because god forbid a woman has hard power and needed those dopes tyrion and john to be âpureâ for the misogynistic audience. Ugh. Comments like this make me want to punch a wall.

2023-05-15 00:14:02 +0000 UTCI hear you fam but I just disagree, it was deceptive, I rewatched it when I edited and I still feel the same way, I knew what he was doing when he asked those questions trying to gage her mindset but to decide based off one conversation where someoneâs whole world just changed is crazy to me. When Jon did decide he wanted to kill her, he lured her in with your my queen and kissed her and killed her⊠that was deceptive and out of character for me. This the same man that wouldnât even tell a white lie to Cersei cause it was too dishonest. Id compare what Jon did more to Jamie than Ned, if he knew his family was going to be killed, he slayed the power at be becoming the Kingâs Slayer (making that âimpossible choiceâ of choosing family over honor and like Jamie he got a slap on the wrist (not that I wanted anything bad to happen to Jon it just doesnât make sense either). Also what King/Queen did we have that wasnât going to kill someone for not bending the knee? Robert? Joffery? Tommen you might have gotten away with but Cersei?? Nah they all wouldâve but we got this double standard for Dany. We could argue it was hypocritical or that it was just as cruel as the other rulers and it would be true but now all of sudden nah she gotta die and Jon gotta do it smh. I saw a better solution in Jon marrying her and being King, Jon already ruled the North, bending the knee was out of the question cause Sansa and Arya donât get a choice cause they didnât run a damn thing at the time and I would have made a point to never have them around Dany if I thought they would provoke her. Dany was happy she got the Throne of course but that doesnât equate to being mentally okay, just a few hours ago she had so much spite in her heart she massacred people that didnât just leave her head cause she got the Throne everything she said afterwards said she is still in that mindset so everything she said to her followers and Jon made sense. Getting her back to her right mind takes more than one conversation which is why killing her still didnât make sense in this context they gave us. I canât be okay with anything they gave me because we didnât have enough time or conversations. If we wouldâve and then gotten this same conclusion I would be very understanding. Like I said another show did this type of story way better and the character in Danyâs spot was way stronger than her and they still never tried to kill him when they were in person with him and they knew what he was about to do. Same things happened, innocents were shown brutality and graphically slaughtered on a much higher scale and across many different planes before the others even thought to kill this man. Trying to reason with him was still the priority and when that failed continuously then they out right rebelled and said weâre against you even knowing full well he is capable of killing them. So I canât just accept the garbage GOT gave me in this last oneâŠ

2023-05-15 00:02:48 +0000 UTCI totally agree with u. I hate the ending and I wanted it to actually be different. I just thought the writing was on the wall in that scene of what was about to happen. I think the damn writers screwed us big time in season 8 which is a travesty for this kind of show. I hate being told what to think by writing rather than letting me come to my own conclusion naturally. HOD is really good at that in many ways thank god
Lynda Olson
2023-05-14 22:57:36 +0000 UTCJon never decieved anyone though, again, I'm not sure u fully understood what was happening during Jon and Danys talk. He had no intention of killing her when he went to her. Jon was desperately trying to understand and get some understanding from Danys responses, instead he got the opposite and realised she had to be stopped. U can clearly see on Jon's face, the exact moment Jon sees Danys too far gone and needs to be stopped. (Right after she answer him with "They dont get to choose") Jon had the same choice Ned did, he chose his family over his Queen, duty and love, even bit of honour too. Jon once again, saved the realm from Dany who just confessed to Jon, she's planing to continue burning innocence if they dont bend/follow her. Jon already tried to change her mind and begged her to do things the merciful way but she refused. Yes she clearly did love him, she never loved Dario, the second sons warrior. However, Dany would not have spared Sansa or Arya for Jon, if they didn't bend the knee to her. So Jon had no choice if he wanted to protect his family and future civilians/lords etc she would have burned when conqueroring the world. Also Dany wasn't mad at all this episode lol she won and got that validation she was looking for, from the cheers of her Dothraki and spears from unsullied. Even the way she was reminiscing about her childhood & counting to 20, she was happy, smiling so big after touching the throne & seeing Jon. Honestly not sure where u got her being level 10 angry still from. Emilla shows her emotions very well with her facial expressions. I wish things could have been different but we still dont know if things with Dany would go well, even if she sorted out Cersei first. Since Jon's parentage still comes out & the north still wouldn't trust her, she got love in the east lands because it was slaves not free lords and ladies with strong ties & history.

2023-05-14 18:15:35 +0000 UTCI hear you and I agree. Itâs kind of insulting to everyone else who dedicated so much of their lives making this show what it was. The WWâs should have had their own whole season, Dany/kingâs landing should have had its own whole season, and figuring out what to do about Jonâs birthright should have had at least a 5 episode span in which to address it
Katie Thomas
2023-05-14 18:14:42 +0000 UTCI hear you, definitely couldâve been an epic story fully fleshed out. The thing for me is, I am watching another show which has GOT level writing doing a similar story to this except the main character is actually committing genocide and told people thats what he was going to do but the people who loved him didnât conspire behind his back, they tried to convince him on several occasions that heâs wrong and when he wouldnât listen to reason they all got together and straight up told him, weâre going to have to kill you because you wonât stop. There was none of this back stabby bullshit so idk that story is bigger and makes more sense and has the same episode count as GOT with episodes alot shorter and they did it better so I canât give GOT any slack cause they didnât put enough effort and time (D&D of course, not everyone else)

2023-05-14 17:08:18 +0000 UTCIâm always reminded of the conversation she had with Barristen when I hear Tyrion talk about her knowing whatâs good and right. Thatâs exactly how her father felt. The bigger issue is, though, that every time she was lauded and praised she was also told sheâs not like her father wich further solidified in her mind that sheâs good and right. It has the makings of a self-fulfilling prophecy almost. The signs were always there. It was always going to happen. Itâs one of my favorite storylines in the show, despite the egregious shortening of plot and character development by D&D. And the moment I saw her burn kings landing I knew Jon would have to kill her. Heâs just like Ned. And as Maester Aemon asked Jon all the way back in season 1 - if your father had to choose between honor on the one hand and those he loves on the other, what would he do? âHeâd do what was right, no matter the costâ. Killing Dany was the right thing. Sheâs pretty delusional at this point and has committed genocidal levels of murder all while convinced that sheâs good and right. âIf you think this has a happy ending, you havenât been paying attentionâ

2023-05-14 16:59:26 +0000 UTCI think she was saying sheâs liberating anyone from Winterfell all the way down to Dorne not necessarily at those to placeâs just anywhere inbetween because yeah there isnât anything that needed to be done in those two spots. I agree Jon surviving was even unrealistic, Drogen not killing him made no sense and then Grey Worm all of a sudden who was mowing down people doesnât kill Jon and just lets others decide his fate⊠if it was anyone else Grey Worm wouldâve killed them instantly, maybe you could argue he thought about the repercussions but I donât know everything from 8x05-6 showed Grey Worm not caring about repercussions when killing folks so idk. Donât even get me started on King Bran smh

2023-05-14 16:58:07 +0000 UTCYour welcome glad we got through the end, I truly was not expecting it to be that bad but it really was that bad⊠the worst possible ending imo đ. Narratively yeah they definitely wrote backwards cause most of these decisions didnât make sense. Recommendation noted

2023-05-14 16:49:18 +0000 UTCI donât put anything past anyone anymore. There was no honor in what he did and he had been completely honorable up to this point, now all of a sudden heâs deceiving and is now a Queen Slayer, ehhhhh they can keep that⊠not a fan. Dany was still at a 10 its basically right where 8x05 left off, I donât see her suddenly just being over everything and just being fully happy she got the Throne. She can smile and be hurt. I think over time he wouldâve been able to get through to her, especially with her being in love with him, this same man convinced her to stop her original mission to help him save the world from something she didnât believe was real, he had pull he didnât try (the writers, im not counting any of this bs towards his character progression in my book anyways). She definitely shouldâve just came here and took Kings Landing like she planned then helped Jon instead of wasting time negotiating with Cersei and all this other waste of time bs and literally all would be perfect.

2023-05-14 16:46:52 +0000 UTCThe madness wouldnât have been an issue if they developed over more time but where Dany ended doesnât match majority of her journey. The decend to madness needed more time. With what they had written thus far she shouldnât have turned at Kings Landed but I get what they were going for. Iâve seen the seeds they planted thats why it could be a believable character arc but only with more time so now Iâm just bitter they runined the end of a good series to rush an arc instead of doing what made sense

Big Bro & Lil Sis Reacts
2023-05-14 16:25:11 +0000 UTCWe waited 2 years after season 7 finished for this. The greatest show on earth destroyed by 2 fools that had no idea what they were doing. They rushed it because they were needed in some Star wars shit. George RR Martin said he had enough material for 4 more seasons but D and D decided to run with this shit. It would have been better if they'd handed it over to another team of writers who had the time and passion to give it the ending it deserved. Emilia Clarke (Danny) argued all the way through saying "this isn't what Danny would do, we're going the wrong way" Kit Harrington (Jon) turned to alcohol and ended up in rehab because it ended the way it did. Almost 2,000.000 people signed a petition to get season 8 redone. It's horrendous writing! Massively disappointed.
Melanie Vine
2023-05-14 15:54:22 +0000 UTCYeah the destination, for the end of this story and series, was always the same. Itâs the JOURNEY that the writers fucked up towards the end I believe once they ran out of writing material they just started fumbling their way through, and it was sort of hard to tell in season six, but after that it was downhill. đ

2023-05-14 15:33:03 +0000 UTCI'm so mad that since the finale aired I've wanted nothing to do with the show. Now all I can manage is to watch reaction videos to share the pain, hah. Don't forget to watch the Pitch Meeting Season 8, it helps a bit to laugh about it. (Only when you're ready, though.)

2023-05-14 15:11:13 +0000 UTCNow you know why everyone was so mad. They did Danaerys SO dirty that they made her a complete psycho at the end. Did you hear her say she had "liberated" King's Landing and next she was going to do the same to Winterfell and Dorne? Those places don't have a tyrant or keep slaves. They made Dani just plain nuts to the point that she needed to be put down like a rabid dog. And yet Jon was kept alive like the Unsullied or Dothraki wouldn't execute him on the spot. And BRAN as king? Wtf? Plus why did he say "Why do you think I came all this way?" - that means he knew he would be king? He knew Dani would murder hundreds of thousands of people? And what the hell did he mean by "Maybe I can find him" about Drogon? Why do you need to find him - to kill him or to use him as a weapon? Then Sansa just announcing she would be queen of the north. If independence was an option why didn't Dorne and the Iron Islands say it too? So much bad writing. We viewers got shafted big time.
Elizabeth D.
2023-05-14 15:10:40 +0000 UTCAhhhh, time to laugh at the bullshit because otherwise I wouldnt be able to watch LOL! I wanna thank you Tomaj, your passion has made watching these last 2 episodes somewhat barable. And I apologize for us putting you through this. I really hate what they did at the end. I think mad dany was lazy and trope filled writing. Just not the quality we've come to expect from game of thrones. I thinks its pretty clear they wrote the last 2 seasons from this point backwards. Thats why sansa and arya hated dany for no reason. thats why varys was questioning her mind before she even did anything. Its why they kept screaming that stupid, "flip a coin" targ nonesense. Which btw, that line is false. They needed all the characters to be able to say, "we were right" at the end without question. Its just sad and lazy. To turn your liberator into a Hitler 2.0... Just wow. Anyways, once your spirit has had time to recover, I reccomend Lindsay Ellis 2 YouTube videos about the last episode of GOT. She does a fantastic analysis on all characters and she does it from a more nuance POV. Which in my opinion is rare for the GOT community because a lot of analysis are made by men, for men. & finally, re the coin flip line: There have been only 5 (pretty sure) mad targ kings throughout the dynasty. The quote about flipping the coin was actually anti targ/anti magic propaganda from the maesters at the citadel. They are champions of science and the light of the 7, therefore, magic is a big nono.
Nana-Afia
2023-05-14 15:10:22 +0000 UTCImo, that scene is a writers self-insert to make sure the audience gets what theyre trying to shove in their face. Of you actually analyze the dialogue and then the dialogue dany has with jon at the end, none of it makes a cohesive lesson/msg on power. The logic jon and tyrions used is without context and therefore, kinda irrelevant. Because she was killing evil men, and she was right for it! Them forcing this character change at the end doesn't change that because they wanted it to. But nonetheless, I respect your like for the ending!
Nana-Afia
2023-05-14 15:00:06 +0000 UTCI knew you were boiling because during the second half of the episode you did not say one single word. I was like "awwww shit, this boy is about to boil over." lol Now you can see why everyone was so pissed off about the ending of this once epic show. I know I sure was! They took TEN years of my life to tell me one simple sentence: The man who knew nothing helped the boy who did nothing become king. WHAT???!!!

2023-05-14 14:57:43 +0000 UTCNo ur wrong, sorry but Jon would never burn the city, that's just not in him and regardless of his loss, he never let the world ruin him. So not everyone could be pushed to do that. The Starks including Jon have been through major trauma and lost half their family. Dany seemed quite happy this epsiode tbf, no where near level 10 mad. So sad how Jon still tried to reason with Dany, even after Tyrions talk. Dany convinced him of what he needed to do, to protect the realm and his sisters. Not sure if u realised what Dany was telling Jon completely as u were talking during parts. I was heartbroken for Jon, he deserves to be king and so much more happiness..but was happy he was in the true north with Ghost and Tormund, exactly where he wanted to be, he's clearly now the King beyond the wall. The starks have taken over everywhere do love that part..but also heartbroken again that they've all separated again. And we never got to see Nymeria, we were robbed abit..think we did need 10 episodes this season. Jon still to me is clearly the prince who was promised. Hes always protected the realm without ever wanting power or things in return. He united everyone to defeat the dead and even encouraged Arya's warrior side and training. Jon is also the reason Arya came back to Winterfell. Everyone had their part to play big and small, just a shame D&D had to rush things so much. Jon is finally free now, away from all the politics he hated and struggled with. Going beyond the wall with Ghost and people who love him regardless of his name. So i was happier in the end, knowing Jon was actually being set free.

2023-05-14 14:08:44 +0000 UTCYou need to re-watch the scene between Jon and Tyrion. Itâs all there. Honestly the signs of her downfall (into madness) are all there throughout the whole show. She believes sheâs destined to be this person who breaks the wheel, stepping out of the fire twice. Itâs almost like religious fanaticism. Baristan warned her several times about her father and what you end up with going down this path of feeling you are ALWAYS RIGHT and righteous. I hated how they did it because it wasnât done well (terrible writing in season 7 and 8). It was forced, rushed, and awful. Jonâs story in season 8 was especially bad for such an amazing character. He was just this passive dude screaming âsheâs my queenâ.

2023-05-14 13:50:07 +0000 UTCThe cast even hated this. I watched this show 2 years ago in a month! So I see it a little different. I figured they would turn dani into the mad queen. Arya dani and jon my fave. If jon kept his mouth shut if sansa kept hers shut may have ended different. I loved 6 7 and 8. Most hated them . 6x7 some of the best. 8 just screwed up bad at the end. Please don't blast me people for that. House of dragons has a full written book to follow. Many reasons it will be better. I knew the ending would piss you of but it still has been a great ride. Always the best reactions!
