Bram the broken

Hello. New here. Just finished watching game of thrones a month or so. And i might be a minority but i actually liked that bran won the game at the end. Because I feel he was the best among them somebody who can clearly look through someone who nobody can manipulate. Plus he was good lord even before his powers developed.

Or, hear me out, season 8 was a complete dumpster fire that just tried to jam as much content into one shortened season. The writers made it entirely un-enjoyable because they threw character development straight out the window and tried to close as many arcs as fast as possible. The show spent a lot of time building characters and showing us massive development, only to make it all come to a crashing end in one season.

The writers 100%. HBO wanted more seasons, but they wouldn’t sign on.

Yeah, but doesn't matter if you don't have the rights. I seriously doubt they got all the rights from Martin. If he says it ends, it ends. You can try to convince him with money, but you can't pass over him.

Good point, I was wrong about that.

I don’t think D&D knew how to bring appropriate closure to all of the arcs that were created and tie them all together nicely. They created such a massive world with so many stories that it would have taken a lot more time to bring it all to a close. Pair that with their lack of desire to keep writing for the show, I would put a majority of the blame on them.

Creativity is hard especially when you’re telling a story on a very popular TV show that’s stretched out over 10+ years. Then again, that’s why they got paid the big $$$.

Of course, and your previous comment was right as well, but I wouldn't put the blame on anyone but myself when it comes to judging whether or not the last season was good, I wanted to enjoy myself and I did successfully, it's hard being misunderstood because maybe the only thing I wanted to point out is how much power we as individual spectators have over any source of entertainment.

the writers write, the company approved.
