Game of Thrones fans can and will find plenty of reasons to feel outraged over an episode's embrace of darkness. Viewers kicked, screamed, cried, and begged for comfort after watching the "Rains of Castamere" episode from season 3, better known as the installment featuring the Red Wedding. Audiences once again felt their stomachs churn when Prince Oberyn Martell got his brains bashed in during season 4's "The Mountain and the Viper," and felt a similar feeling of dread when Shireen Baratheon was burned alive on the season 5 episode "The Dance of Dragons."
While watching the third episode of season 8, titled "The Long Night," fans took to social media to air their latest grievances about the show. Now, while the practice of criticizing on Twitter is nothing new for the Game of Thrones fandom, the April 28th episode elicited a rather unique, highly specific complaint. According to fans, the episode was just too dark, in the most literal way.
Not long after “The Long Night” began, Twitter exploded with complaints about how dark the much-anticipated battle sequence was. For many, the episode was nearly unwatchable because the lighting was so dim.
I agree with the folks defending the Cinematographer & Director. If you couldn't see what was happening onscreen, that says everything about how
