Game of Thrones season 8 mega thread

GRRM should be at the core of the criticism though imo.
Have a look at the show runners now compared to Season 1. They legitimately look like a two-term President on their last day (greyed, haggard, worn etc.). This is all they've been doing since approximately 2009, and I can imagine the stress of it all only multiplied after Season 4's production when it became apparent they were a year away from having to start making entirely original content within a very strict timeframe because Book 6 didn't exist yet.
There's a severe, and underestimated by a lot of people, difference between adapting a novel and writing one yourself. Adaptation is what they signed on for, not creation. -
GRRM quit once he got rich and famous. Guy is 100% croaking before the books get done. Pisses me off he said no one else can finish them if he dies like what Robert Jordan/Wheel of Time series did.Gladstone said:GRRM should be at the core of the criticism though imo.

And I agree the TV show has suffered by his complete inability to hit his publishing deadlines. -
If you think Jon and Dany are having a happily ever after incest kingdom you haven't been reading between the lines. I know, hurtful.Swaye said:
I pretty much said this in the other thread DJ started. It has fallen off greatly the last season and a half. Still hopeful for this season. They really need to do something most aren't expecting, like the Night King wins, or Cersei wins in the end. I mean I hate the bitch, but I really don't want a Jon and Dany have a cousin marriage and live happily ever after as co-rulers of the realm with Tyrion as the Hand and they make little retarded inbred babies while Sansa pouts in the north.Doogles said:
Once the show passed the source material it all went to shit.haie said:El Oh El at how lazy the story and dialogue has become.
I'd settle for a Dany and Jon have it out after he accepts his true lineage and he kills her after a good fuck. I'd also settle for Cersei wins after the northern armies are trashed beating the Night King, but then Tyrion slits her throat and claims the throne. In fact, if the Night King can't win, the alcoholic dwarf whore addict killing his own evil sister to finally rule the world is probably my top choice.
WAIT A MINUTE! How about Dany and Jon are killed fighting the NK, and Cersei comes up north to finish them off but Lyanna Mormont rises up and fucks everything up and siezes the throne. I love that little bitch. -
I found the spoilers online somewhere but mutant Joffrey comes back and kills everything, including the white walkers. Sorry for spoilers.

GRRM is a fat loser piece of shit. No way he finishes these books. He doesn't even care anymore. He just goes to Comic Cons and then goes home and rolls around in buckets of KFC and money. Rich Fat Fucker.
He could have been remembered like Tolkien. Instead he will be remembered as the guy who almost wrote the best fantasy world ever but got fat and lazy instead. -
I'm pretty sure he started out fat and lazy but still.Swaye said:GRRM is a fat loser piece of shit. No way he finishes these books. He doesn't even care anymore. He just goes to Comic Cons and then goes home and rolls around in buckets of KFC and money. Rich Fat Fucker.

Even if he finishes the books, he doesn’t belong in the same conversation as TolkienSwaye said:GRRM is a fat loser piece of shit. No way he finishes these books. He doesn't even care anymore.
