Chris Stuckmann reviews Game of Thrones Season 8.

[@BranDoesThings]

Winter deserved a whole season. Danny’s descent into madness needed a whole season.

[@sony9161]

i agree

[@ricksanchez8584]

Exactly

[@roozbehzarei6943]

I guess I'll never find out why the heck they screwed up such an amazing show / art!

[@user-lh5my4ws8j]

this show supposed to be 10 season and they needed Martin. But i guess star wars more important for that gay writers.

[@4yorglory]

@@user-lh5my4ws8j I feel like Martin wanted to distance himself from the writing of the show. He's said that he tries to avoid the influence of other writing. Martin gave D&D a road map for where characters were meant to end up but not the journey that got them there. D&D just put zero thought into the meat of the story and just gave lazy plot progression.

[@jillvlantine]

HBO offered the writers more seasons and episodes. Let that sink in.

True, 10 seasons were planed but the writers were so lazy the barelly made 8...

[@Roin7]

More specifically, the pacing. I don't really think the ending for most characters was wrong, except maybe johns and brans, just how it got there was so rushed and full of holes..

[@neiladlington950]

The writers are the tacticians, the directors the strategists. They are far from blameless but they are dealing with constraints that limit their choices.

[@randyjax09]

What made me angry was *WHY* the final season was rushed. HBO wanted them to do as many seasons as they could (let alone a full ten episodes for S08), but the writers refused to allow any other writers to take the reigns. It really angered the screenwriting community. Furthermore, they were in a hurry to finish the show because they were going to write a new Star Wars trilogy for Disney. The irony of it all is that Disney fired them after seeing how badly they botched this final season.

[@c.j.9072]

[@c.j.9072]

@@Jbtigers5 Damn that's crazy I actually just Binged GOT so I wasn't completely invested in the show but I really enjoyed it up until the end but I legit feel bad for the people that watched the show for years and the way that it ended for the fans just isint right. even the actors and actresses knew they were putting out a bogus end so props to them tho they all played there parts really well knowing the ending was atrutious.

[@NickHalTV]

​@@c.j.9072 Please don't belive everything thats coming from Randy H. The writers did not rush Game of Thrones so they could write Star Wars. They told us years in advance, long before the Star Wars deal was a thing, that they wanted to end the show with 8 seasons. It's true that HBO wanted more seasons from them, but they never refused other writers to take the reigns for the show. I don't know where that rumor came from, but its just that, a rumor started by butthurt fans who diden't like the last season. And last of all, Disney did not fired them, at all. They simply changed their minds becuse they got a another deal from Netflix. I'm not gonna say that the writers are 100% innocent, and one part of them probly wanted to finish up the show so they could move on too other things. But I do feel really bad for them. I can't even imagine the amount of stress they had too go trough during the show's run. They even told us several times that they were scared too disappoint, especially when they ran out of book material. When they started to produce the first season, the author of the books even told them that he would finish writing the next book in the series before the show got to season 6, but that never happened. And I can't even blame the author either! It literally took him decades to plan out the series, and he is not even done yet. And the poor writers had it even worse because they had no choice but to finish up the series, they had deadlines. So even though I have my own problems with season 8, I can't do nothing else but praise the writers. It was just too bad that their vision for the final season didn't match with big parts of the fandom, but they still managed to end the show. Not even the author could do that. And I will always be grateful for them, because we woulden't have Game of Thrones without them :D

[@c.j.9072]

@@NickHalTV ok that's fair I understand that. You feel sorry for the writers and I understand that too but I feel sorry for the die hard fans that put alot of time watching the show and for it to end the way it did I can only look to the writers and know they could have came up with something different and better to wrap it all up. And the finished product was obviously rushed and just not thought out well so I.M.O The writers have to take some of the blame.

Up until now, she only killed bad men. She ALWAYS stood for the common folk. It makes NO SENSE. She won, and she just....gives up, after getting what she's been fighting for all this time?

Even mentioning the fact that dany's army would die in a vision and find ways to lessen the carnage. Or maybe even conjure ideas along side Arya in some way to limit causalities. So much potiental to become the three-eyed raven was wasted time.

Quincy Navarre bran is definitely not the worst character in the entire show, he’s not just all knowing he went through multiple season arcs just to get to the point to TRAIN to become all knowing and even then his training by the three eyed raven was cut short. He also can’t blatantly see the future his ability is called “green seeing” it only gives you glimpses of the future and you have to to piece it together yourself. Bran being the three eyed raven surrounded by normal people makes him appear all knowing because he essentially can look back to any point in history but even that how does that make him a bad character? Bran is one of the more consistently well or at least decently written characters in the whole show I can understand you being upset over Tyrion losing his cleverness or Sansa being raped by Ramsey in season 5 or even fast tracking Daenerys going mad queen but saying bran is the worst character literally makes no sense just because of his ending that’s ridiculous

[@MrJonnyHovo]

The only other thing I would add to this review was the sheer disappointment of Jon Snow's character in season 8. One of the biggest reveals of the entire show was that he was the rightful king of the throne, and it really turned out to mean absolutely nothing.

Hey, yeah! What was the point? To shake Dany’s confidence that people might question her legitimacy to the throne?

The question is why! Why wasn’t it 12 seasons? Why did they want to end the show so quickly? Why?! Seeing it this way, they’d earn more money along the way. But also, and more importantly, everything would’ve gotten more time to develop, every character, every arc, every little mystery. That way the ending would feel more earned.

[@markosgraveyard]

The way I pictured it before it came out was the battle of Winterfell would be lost, some major character losses like maybe Jon Snow. Then the remaining survivors getting pushed back south of the Neck, and into King's Landing where Cercei would realize she actually has no time for games and has to now cooperate with the remaining living forces mankind has to deal with the threat that's coming to eventually kill them, and we'd see the Great War unveil itself that way in the final episodes.

[@John-to6sl]

The problem is that it felt rushed in terms of this should have more seasons just as George R. R. Martin have said in his interview and it also felt like it went on forever in each episode. Episode 1 and 3 were the only episodes it felt like it didn't drag. The writers knew the bullet points Martin have laid out for them but doesn't know how to get from one point to another. However, they need to make the episodes longer to make the 6 episodes much more intriguing to the fans. So, instead of thinking how they will get from point A to point B, they dragged each scene. Like it felt like the Hobbit in terms of how many crane shots of just them walking. The way the characters even speak or act, it felt like they were dragging their feet. They still performed well, but I can see how the directors and writers were trying so hard to make a scene longer than it should be.

One part of the problem was that George RR Martin argued with the creators to extend it to season 10 or 11. That would have been ample time to develop the stories and reach a satisfying conclusion. HBO was more than willing to give them the required budget (it's their highest rated show, of course they would). Despite all of that, David and Dan decided they wanted to end the show. I'm sure they are aware it's rushed - it is impossible to think they don't know it. I think they wanted to move onto other projects (Star Wars) and so they half-assed season 7 and 8 to reach the end just to finish it. And those stupid decisions stand out like a sore thumb becsuse everything else is brilliant. Music, acting, action, vfx All of it is so good that you can see there's disturbance in the force. Oh well, it is a good show overall.

[@endaohalloran6649]

My problem with this idea that D&D just cut it short to do Star Wars is the fact that HBO own the rights to the show, not the writers, so if they wanted more seasons they are the ones in control of that decision and D&D are contractually obliged to adhere to HBO's wants. And even if the writers demanded to leave and HBO wanted it to continue they would simply hire new writers. I will admit I wished it went on for longer and I don't understand why it didn't but this theory is just an excuse fans are looking for as to why they ended it like this

[@maddhatter222]

D & D hold the rights to the show and didn’t want anyone else to take over for them. So they did a half-assed job and their best defense is “Well you can’t please everybody”. It isn’t so much what happened, but how they got there. Things like Ned’s execution, the Red Wedding and Purple Wedding were shocking, but there was decent build up to all of those events. Dany burning down King’s Landing was way too hard of a turn. We needed to see her indiscriminately killing people before, like collateral damage in battles. We should have seen her suffering losses over a longer period of time, forcing her to become hardened with each loss. There needed to be a gradual decline until she got to that state. This “Well she was always ruthless” excuse doesn’t work when just about all of the main characters have been ruthless to their enemies.

[@kristopherhall971]

Alien Alien just like Chris said, it’s not the decision to make her the final villain that is bad, it’s the process to get there. Sure we’ve had foreshadowing, but during the season her turn to evil felt very forced. Like Chris said, another 2 episodes to really “sell” her becoming evil would make it feel right. Her snapping to that extent in the course of an episode felt forced. Like if she had just killed the civilians in the Red Keep that would have been a more realistic turn to evil within this time frame, it’s not as large of a jump from where she was in episode 3 to what she did in 5.

[@judeisurufernando674]

The first 2 episodes made me hopeful and then The Night King just getting randomly knifed just put me in a bad mood for the rest of the season.

[@MrHeinrichMueller]

The ending felt like bad fan fiction (which in a way it is). The story of Season 8 should be told at least in 3 seasons: (1) Conquest of Westeros and fight against Cersei (2) War against the Night King (3) Danys reign and slow decay into a mad queen But the writers (and only them!) wanted to finish the series as quick as possible, to have time to work on their Conferderate series and the next STAR WARS trilogy. I think it is very disrespectful to the fans who invested so many years into the series and also to GRRM.

[@virtualboy3596]

Absolutely correct. If they told this story in 3 seasons and really fleshed out the night king and made him a real threat, and then let Dany take the throne but had a season long arc about everyone slowly realizing she needs to go, it would’ve been potentially great. But the writers just needed it to be 6 episodes. HBO wanted 10 seasons and it could’ve been. It’s a shame

I'm gonna be honest and say that I can see the end results work for this story. I mean that as in the final fate of many of the characters. But it did not work at all because the past 12 episodes have been absolute dog shit in terms of writing. This ending did not have sufficient build-up and every plot point in the past two seasons have been lacking in development. D&D have made sure that we get all the payoffs - but these payoffs are all hollow because they're not thought out. Their writing feels like "and then, and then, and then."

The wheel is broken. Bran will be a good king because Tyrian will do most of the actual ruling, but unlike with Ares/Taiwan or Rob/Ned, both men will put the people first. It's not just a twist to be a twist. The execution was a little lacking but it's the only move that would bring lasting peace.

If D&D didn’t want to stick around for the final three seasons then they should have passed the torch...trying to wrap it up in 13 episodes was a disaster in my opinion..it was so rushed that by the final season they were all different characters doing completely out of character actions like: Tyrion suddenly was the worst strategic mind on the show John snow became a background character Arya forgot she was a faceless assassin Bran became a robot The unsullied reaction to Jon killing their queen was to lock him up and let the lords and ladies of Westeros decide his fate..instead of immediately killing him as a traitor. Sansa declares the north an independent kingdom and none of the others present claim their independence...Yara..seriously? Sansa abides by everyone’s verdict to send Jon to the nights watch..even though she just declared the north an independent kingdom and is completely within her power to pardon him..also apologizes to Jon saying she wishes there was more she could do. Seven seasons of buildup that the white walkers were the biggest threat Westeros ever faced and only together did they have even a small chance of victory..oh wait never mind it was solved in one battle. After Danys death the unsullied leave Westeros and the Dothraki go with them..really?..after danys death they would have chosen a Kahl and went on a murder and rape tour of Westeros.

IMO, what they should have done: Season 8 - The battle for the Iron Throne Use at least 3 episodes to build upon the reveal of Jon Snow being Aegon Targaryen. Use it to flesh out Dany's character more, to the point where her burning down King's Landing is justified. Dany seizes the Iron Throne. John means to confront Dany about it, but they receive alert that the white walkers have been spotted coming up on Winterfell. Season 9 - First episode is the battle of Winterfell, and the Night King WINS. Forces are pushed South and the Night King's army continues his advance to King's Landing. With Dany having burned much of it, there is debate over whether King's Landing is even worth protecting. Majority of remainder of season is devoted towards battling the army of the dead. People suffer as winter has finally come. When their army is finally defeated, with JON SNOW killing the Night King, last 2 episodes, Jon is finally forced to confront Dany. Series finale shows Jon living up to his birth right and claiming the Iron Throne. His killing of Dany is justified, even in the eyes of the Unsullied (thanks to good writing).

[@barbara3911]

My feeling surrounding Arya’s journey is that she rejected becoming a “faceless man”. The faceless men were merely assassins that had built up a very convincing religious justification for being hired murderers. Arya was smart enough to see it for what it was, and rejected their order. When she rejected their order, she also rejected their way of killing, she wanted those she killed to know who she was, not hide behind another’s face. Arya would never have been able to kill Bran and wear his face, that would have gone against everything in her character, that was never an option. Also, the Night King would have known it wasn’t Bran, Bran was marked by the Night King and that’s how he was able to track Bran. If it had been Arya, the Night King would have known instantly. Also, killing Bran was the Night King’s objective. If Arya had killed Bran, they would have done their enemy’s work for him...
