  1. The bitterness surrounding the final season was unbearable. It was like a snowball that kept growing, a pure mob mentality. While I admit there were legitimate gripes to be made, most were petty. Sour grapes… Had GRRM completed the source material, I am sure other characters would have been more "completed" and fulfilled, but in many ways, with his book still to come, they did not want to "write him into a corner". I DO believe it was the intention of GRRM to have Bran as King. I DO believe that Dany's unraveling was foreshadowed from the start. I DO believe those expecting a happy ending had not been paying attention.

  2. This was a five book series. I read all five long before they ever made the movie. I was beyond pissed at the laziness of the character development that in no way shape or form, followed anywhere on the path of the original books. Now I am well aware that most books are always better than the movies, so my expectations weren’t extremely high. It changed after season four by the time we hit season five I finished it all up just because I wanted to see how badly they would screw it up and it was really bad.

  3. Oh I gladely revisit this one. This one was the video that got me into the "pitch meetings" and I love em!
    Sad thing is I loved GoT and then it got totaly ruined and this pitch meeting doesn't even cover all the things that really went south on the show.

  4. I think Daeny was always going to end up believing her own legend to the point of despotism, and I would argue that the writers DID lay the foundation for that exact turn of events–it's just that the timing was sloppy as hell. There needed to be at least a season and a half for the audience to witness her killing, isolating, and dividing her friends and allies one-by-one, getting her teams drawn while gradually giving way to the cynicsm, paranoia, and hypocrisy of tyrannical dictatorship. While this was happening, they should have developed a necessary rivalry between Tyrion and Varys, making it hard for the audience to pick sides because of their love and loyalty to the characters, so Varys' execution felt like a huge betrayal…. but I could go on all day. I think we all know that the show could have gone down as one of the greatest epics in television history if the writers had handled it more thoughtfully.

  5. The “she forgot” bit in this pitch meeting is making fun of how the writers literally said in the Making Of The Episode for that episode “um yeah Dany just kind of forgot about Euron and his forces”. That just proves what an embarrassing shit show the writing in the final season was (season 7 was no masterclass in writing for me either). They just needed to come up with a bullshit reason (I’m sorry, how do you hide an entire fleet in the middle of the ocean in broad daylight) to kill off another dragon to expedite Dany’s downfall. I was 100% on board for the mad queen concept but they just executed it so poorly that they basically just shit on what was previously the greatest tv show ever made.

  6. The only people who knew how the books will end were Dan and Dave, cause Martin told them. I guess, that they ruined his ending so much by rushing the last season cause they had an other project waiting, that it forces Martin to rewrite his last book that did not come out yet.

  7. GoT season 8 is the worst ending to a good show in the history of television. Yes, worse than Lost. I was already checked out after season 7, but still gave it a chance since is the last season. On episode 2 and on, I could not stop complaining about how dumb everything is. I've never been so angry at a tv show before. GoT season 8 is the epitome of lazy writing

  8. Yaaas! I’m thrilled that you’ve discovered Pitch Meetings. Lots of catch phrases going on here: “Super easy, barely an inconvenience.” “I don’t know.” And my favorite, “I’m gonna need you to get all the way off my back about this.”

  9. daenerys was indeed terible. i mean, she killed slave masters, ended slavery, killed a bunch of rapist and used the same methods every other character did throughout the show, dragon queen bad bad 🤬

    the girl who had a list of people she wanted to kill and went full Hannibal by making human pies for revenge? nah, she a good one

  10. 5:45 The Dany going mad ending isn't as bad as everyone makes its out to be IMO. There are little hints of it really early in the series. Idk if it's the first instance in the show, but the moment I always point to specifically is like Season 2-3, when she makes it to Qarth. She literally threatens to return when her dragons are full grown & burn down the city if they refused to help her. Idk how I missed that dialogue originally but after I noticed it on a rewatch it made me put more focus on the details of her actions, and the seeds are there.

  11. I honestly felt as though this is how D&D must have approached the pitch meeting… the only thing left out is probably that there was ALSO a segment when they were offered a bunch of money severance to have someone ELSE take over and make it last 10 seasons and be good, and they were like NOPE F U WE WANNA RUIN THE END FOR THE CAST AND THE FANS, and then also made HBO force all the actors sign super long term "can't trash GOT" agreements where Conleth Hill was IRONICALLY the only actor with balls to break it hahahaha.

  12. Being able to binge the entire show has probably contributed to your more favorable opinion of the ending. For people that had been watching since the beginning, it was like, a decade long journey. A year between seasons and a week between each episode gives a viewer A LOT of time to stew on the details and foreshadowing of past episodes. So when half of the Chekov's Guns end up not firing (and in some cases, are thrown away entirely), people were left empty and disappointed.
    Personally, I think the first 4 seasons of GoT is some of the best television ever made. Towards the end of season 5, though, I started to notice a decline in the quality of storytelling which continued to the end of the show.

  13. I read Game of Thrones when I was in the 8th grade. There were a ton of similar fantasy-style books that I would go to the bookstore in the mall and purchase. Very quickly into Game of Thrones, I thought, "I'm probably not supposed to be reading this…" But I never said anything and just kept reading 'em, lol. It had a happy ending: I'm almost 40 and the books aren't completed yet.

  14. If you have not before encountered the Pitch Meeting channel, i find it snappy, sarcastic, fun and also a really good synopsis of movies i'm just not interested in watching. A simple premise and formula that i can anticipate the catch phrases every episode. Very meta.

    Additionally, House of Dragons, i watched it, cuz it's Game of Thrones universe, but honestly, it's a pale shadow. Most the male characters act like they were written by women (sorry not sorry) and the "change" mid season in one of the main characters was both jarring and completely unnecessary from a character point of view.
