Part of the reason is because the music in the Season 5 trailer is . All of the music in the 4 trailers going into Season 4 absolutely shyt on it.
That's the main reason to be honest
They totally killed the hype with that music. Made the trailer fall flat. In terms of the actual scenes that were in the trailer, shyt was
Also, season 4 had crazy crazy crazy hype because 1) it was coming off of the Red Wedding, 2) Book readers were saying it was going to be the best season yet (which it was, even though it didn't live up to their unreachable expectations)
I'm in the minority on this but I've thought about it a lot and I really think that this season will be even better than the last. Even if the crazy plot twists possibly aren't there, the production values and acting just keep getting better and better every year, and these are the things that make Game of Thrones special. Plot twists are easy. Just kill someone popular, bam, done. Whats hard is creating complex characters and putting them in complex situations and allowing the talented actors to do their business. There should be plenty of opportunities this year for that.
The elitist nerds are gonna be mad as fuuuuuck though at all the 'original' material this year
D&D all up in their feelings
