These dudes were out for blood with this episode. Everything that happened this season was 100% intentional. They showed their hand with this finale.
They ruined every single storyline and every single character on the show. GOT's whole brand is gonna take a huge hit and these guys will move on like nothing happened. If GRRM even drops another book it won't do crazy numbers anymore. Nobody's gonna give a fukk about any spinoffs. The actors on the show will never reach this level of stardom again. D&D didn't care about the fans.
They got their message across to the people they intended it for......."STAY in your fukkin lane and let us do what we do....or we'll end your whole career just like that"......they already got their bag from Disney. They didn't give a fukk.
What are you even talking about? Stop confusing incompetence with vindictiveness.
The only career Weiss and Benioff fukked up is their own. People are gonna be looking at any future project from them with a side eye now based on how "GOT" went out. That Disney bag ain't gonna last forever. Hell, I'd he surprised as fukk if this doesn't impact how those movies are received.
And the actors from this show were never going to do anything on the level of "GOT" after this ends, so that's a moot point. That's just the nature of virtually every prestige drama in history. But this whole "yeah, Weiss and Benioff got tired of actor input so they decided to run the show into the ground" angle is hands down one of the most bizarre conspiracy theories I've seen on this board.
The actors were complaining
because of how bad the writing had gotten. So the idea that the writers said "we'll show you....here's writing bad enough
to retroactively ruin the entire series" is just....huh? It makes no sense.
And nobody is holding this train wreck against the actors....nobody is holding it against GRR Martin. So the idea that Weiss and Benioff did this as some kinda revenge is
The blame is being placed squarely on them, that's it.
