We need #Snydercut for season 8
I don't because scrolling through reddit once every couple of months these pop up and remind me how badly they ruined the show

Ned stark was my dude
Season 7 over all was ok but "Beyond The Wall" was pretty trash and the writing problems in 8 started with that ep.

Unforgivable fumble. Dan and Dave still ain’t work on nothing ever since . Hope them rushing to move on to the Star Wars and Netflix bag was worth it

7 was bad/rushed as well, not pure trash like 8, but it wasn't good. 5 was shaky mostly on an underdeveloped, poorly written and poorly cast dorne/sand snake storyline. but 13 episodes for the final two seasons is still the WOAT TV decision ever, my anger has been at HBO for letting that happen. D&D should've been booted if they wanted to leave

Seasons 1-4 were the peak of the show and possibly the best four seasons of television we have ever seen with the amount of twists and turns and major character deaths
No tv moment has topped the red wedding in terms of shock
Too bad D&D fumbled the bag

what?! arya killing the knight king didn't top that for you!
HBO was put in a bad position and this is one of the ONLY times i’ll ever kinda of ride with a network over the talent/creators. HBO offered D&D a BLANK CHECK to make seasons 7&8 longer. Do you know how many newborn babies a Showrunner would murder for a BLANK CHECK from ANY network let alone muthafukking HBO? They also tried to pay them more to make more seasons, I believe they wanted 10 seasons out of GOT but D&D turned it all down. And before seasons 7&8 RUINED the franchise D&D had all of the leverage. GOT was a worldwide phenomenon and by all accounts the actors and crew had a good relationship with them. George RR Martin DIRECTLY gave D&D his blessing to adapt the novels. They had a LOT of goodwill. So HBO replacing them would have been HUGELY controversial and all D&D would have to say was that HBO cares more about money than proper storytelling and every season after D&D’s departure would have been relentlessly criticized and unfairly compared to the previous seasons.
NOBODY knew that D&D were going to shyt the ned the way they did. It made more sense to let them execute their “grand plan” than to step in and be the “evil corporate suits” who replaced two “genius level” showrunners. It wouldn’t have worked out. Hindsight is 20/20.
