Things look to take a downturn when they had their "what if the Civil War ended in a draw" idea along with Disney wrangling them in with other commitments. Far to much on their plate maybe? I know what thats like. I run businesses and have 4 kids. Other things Id like to dabble in, but cant because it would ripple effect heavily. If talking the money D&D were getting, Id be all for trying to pile it on and handle it. TBH if D&D wanted to just finish this and move from then then it brings into question why didnt wrap up plots and character arcs in previous seasons so they didnt have to rush it this season.

They killed the Freys, Tyrells and Dorne in 2 episodes. And went into Generic Hollywood Superhero mode with episodes like the Dream Team beyond the Wall. Maybe they knew they couldnt please everyone with the time left. So targeted the people that enjoy Superhero stuff and pile it with "subverted expectations" for the casuals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people in here are being dorks for the sake of being dorks. Just read through 40 pages in the thread. Thanks to @Matts4313, @ramssuperbowl99 and @JonStark for fighting the good fight. Yep. One of the best shows ever is coming to an end. Hasn't been perfect, there's stuff I'd have done differently, but it's still bar none the best show on TV. I'm excited for the last episode. A bastard son who joined the lowest order of the Realm, killed a wight, went north of the wall, acted as a double agent for a wildling invasion, lead the defense of Castle Black against the largest army in history, was named the youngest Lord Commander in history, lead the rescue of the Wildlings, fought off and killed a White Walker with a Valyrian steel sword, reawoke from the dead after he was betratyed, charged out in an open battle against the worst PoS in the entire universe, avenged the heinous crimes against his family, became King in the North, rallied the world against the army of the dead, beat them, rode a dragon, and lead the ground forces in the invasion of Kings Landing, all while happening to be the rightful king is going to get on the Iron Throne. It's an awesome story. Edited May 17, 2019 by ramssuperbowl99 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seminoles1 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 HBO won't and knew they wouldn't see viewership decline this season because if the hype and Goodwill built up. However, they'll see it in the spinoff's numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 6 hours ago, THE DUKE said: Eh, writers getting pissy about people not liking what they did is just as bad as the online backlash. I don't nerd rage on the internet like some do, but saying a fan can't criticize the show is just stupid. Especially when there are plenty of logical arguments as to why it was bad. That's only because you're a pansy!

Deadpulse Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 4 hours ago, Calvert28 said: That's a complete contradiction. If and that's a big IF. If a movie turns out like Solo then they are stopping productions and releasing press statements saying they need to observe these closer in the future. So they do actually care what fans think because they care about their bottom dollar. Now I'm sure they dont care for the opinions but they sure as hell care if they are entertained or not. Because not caring is the big difference between Endgame and Justice League. We arent talking about any of those movies. We are talking about GoT which is getting the biggest audiences ever despite fan backlash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldman9er Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 This was a strong vid on discussing the mind of Dany. ( just a good one for anyone still iffy on her decision; I know many are dug in too deep or too far gone for alternate considerations ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the backlash is significant enough then all studios take notice. Do I think they would actually remake the season? No of course not that is ridiculous to think that. But I would assume most people who sign realize that's the case as well but it's a way to voice their displeasure. Which if you get 350K votes there are studio heads that are going to read that and about it and keep mental notes on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayRaider Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I think the petition is dumb but there’s nothing wrong with voicing an opinion that this season has been quite bad, which imo it has been. Went from stunningly creative show, good dialogue, good plots, made sense, good action to feeling like Hollywood action film that has a horrible plot, story, and dialogue, and hardly makes sense that is like 30% on RT, and only 30% cause of the CGI stuff. We always have fan fiction and the books coming out though. The ending is whatever you want it to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
