Game of Thrones Might be The Greatest Pump Fake of All Time

[noob_saibot]

It's crazy, haven't even thought about the series since it ended... Was obsessed with it a few years ago, but with the books never coming out and how the show ended my interest dropped to 0.

I've heard that they breezed through/skipped the 4th book, but the story was still complex for the show writers to solve reasonably. Honestly, the way I see it, GRRM needs a minimum of 4 books to resolve the plot, unless he senselessly murders some key characters. The strength as well as weakness of the books is that they fully embrace the dynamism of real life politics, adding more important plot points with every new character introduced.

The funny thing about it is the directors purposely fukked the last season to get started on the new Star Wars movie and then ended up leaving that project. So they fukked that last season up for no reason.

 

[FLORIDA BOI]

They need the dog shyt beat outta them for the ending

That ruined the best show I ever seen

 

[SoSoSlick]

Saddest shyt ever. Went from best show in the world with one of the most iconic female characters ever to irrelevant in a single season.

 

[Trav]

Fuk them but fuk George's lazy, bum ass too.

Even the cast knew that shyt was a shytshow off the train rails toward the end.

 

[YaThreadTrashB!]

I’ve been really getting the urge to watch this show again but I flat out refuse because I know after season 6 this turns into a train wreck



fukk D&D so glad they had their Star Wars project canceled

 

[Tasha And]

It's not unbelievable. They didn't have any more source material from Martin.

Addendum: I couldn't have said it any better than @Majestyx said.

To be fair, D&D took a hatchet to books 4 and 5. They cut a bunch of plots and characters that in hindsight are pretty crucial to telling a good story. Had they adapted the actual source material instead of cutting, remixing, and in some cases inventing wholly original plots (Jaime to Dorne) the story would have stayed on Martin's track and given Martin more time to get Winds out. GRRM said constantly that they could have done more seasons based on the source material and he is right.

But D&D was adamant about finishing in seven seasons (HBO basically had to beg for the compromise of two shortened final seasons). They didn't want to do the show anymore so they were going to rush it no matter what.

The first 4 seasons

 

[Busby]

It's still unbelievable how David Benioff and D.B Weiss fukked up the show. Not only did they ruin one of the potential GOAT shows, they pretty much killed off all the enthusiasm for future spin-offs. And I'm assuming most of the residual money (box sets, merchandise, etc.) that could've been banked for years has been ruined because nobody wants to be reminded of what the show became.

Worst of all is that these idiots rushed GoT so they could work on Star Wars, only to drop out of Star Wars projects after completely fukking up GoT

Thankfully they also nixed their 'Confederacy Won the War' show, imagine the shytshow that would've been


And after all their talk about how busy they are, all they have done after GoT is Gemini Man screenplay and a Leslie Jones comedy special

And the fact they only do interviews here and there where they give small details in the decisions they made for the final episodes is just

You knew the last episode was bad when they didn’t have the “after show” attached to it on HBO GO

at them cancelling their Comic Con appearance because they KNEW the fans were gonna

I got into GoT late so I didn’t have full attachment to the show like that unlike people who watched it since day 1. So I find how it all went down funny

HBO LITERALLY gave them a blank check. Told them to take as LONG as they want and to have as many episodes they needed to completely flush out the story.

But they just said “Nah...just 6 “


And proceeded just to make up some bullshyt to get out their deal

The author even GAVE them the ending to the series and he didn’t even write it yet!

Hell Courtney Kemp gave a better ending to “Power” then GoT...and that’s SAD.

 

[Ziggiy]

name a show with a bigger pump fake?
I've never seen a fall from grace like game of thrones
all these clues, buildup, and foreshadowing for nothing
none of that shyt mattered in the end
if you told me game of thrones would be the trash we saw that last season after the first four seasons I would have laughed in your face

Only one I can think of is Lost.


That ending was trash.

 

[Peter Parker]

Worst TV show adaption ever based solely off when they swerved from the book plots and the show fell completely off the cliff. Those last couple of seasons were ass

 

[Tommy Knocks]

nah the title goes to LOST.

I can still go back and enjoy seasons of GOT. I can't even look at Lost the same. not even season 1. you wanna punch the air.

 

[Erratic415]

Tyrion for the last 2 seasons: We need to find a way for Daenerys to take over the throne while killing as few people as possible

Tyrion in the 2nd to last episode: hey Jaime, I know a secret passageway to the back of the Red Keep

 

[General Mills]

Lost did it every season. Arguably, every episode.

I’m still mad I dedicated all the time to that show.

I just knew they were going to tie all the loose ends up at the end. When the credits ran after the finale I just sat there
