The problem was the execution. A tyrannical Daenarys as the final villain after the White Walkers were defeated makes sense, but she was never actually given the time to be the Mad Queen. She should have gotten a whole season as the big bad after her entire arc from book 1 to present being the buildup to her reign. It's like they were given the bullet points of the ending and instead of fleshing it out into a proper story, they just used the bullet points as the entire source for the script.
Yeah, it could have been interesting to watch her slow decent into madness, but it was like they crammed all the major plot points into a day or two.
Not that I'm going to watch the last season again to verify, but it felt like she went from savior to genocidal maniac in about 3 minutes of screentime. It was jarring.
That's actually my memory of it too, but I thought I would be generous by saying "a day or two" to give the show the benefit of the doubt.
Yeah, didn't she snap when they executed her servant?
This was a show that was totally cool spending 2-3 seasons for a payoff. I can't believe I'm still upset by how they speedran through everything.
I'm still surprised how GoT was on the forefront of pop culture and within 2 seasons any and all interest was morphed to apathetic disdain. No one really talks about it anymore. It's only "they fucked up the ending". Blue balled an entire fandom so bad that it impacted the show runners careers. I'm really hoping HotD brings the fandom back (also, a reboot of the last 2 seasons as a whole new show would be dope)
The final season fucked up so badly that it killed not only my love for the show, but the Game of Thrones universe as a whole. I had planned to read the books and certainly would have watched HotD, but now I just don't care anymore.
I also felt like that but after some time i watched HotD and it was great, the only thing i'm worried about is it getting worse with the new seasons like GoT did
i support this. i personally was waiting for a better fight between the big guys.
