But what makes it bad? Can you elaborate? Cuz I watched it and I mean it wasn’t as good as season 3 or whatever. But I didn’t think that it was a total piece of shit either. I really just don’t understand. I don’t think. And Daenerys had been unhinged for seasons by the time she tried to burn King’s Landing. I just don’t understand it
The battle at Winterfell is a perfect microcosm of the issues. Even apart from the shit artistic work (everything was so dark you could barely see what was happening), almost every scene made no sense:
they start by sending a bunch of people into the army of the undead only for them to die & turn into more undead
the catapults etc. are in front of the castle gates where they’re easily destroyed
they put their most vulnerable into the crypts, where dozens of dead bodies lie, while fully aware their enemies can reanimate them
characters keep getting into situations and scenes where it looks like they’ll surely die, only for them to be fine in the next scene
almost everyone survives what is basically an unwinnable battle
Bran doesn’t do shit
they shit all over the Azor Ahai prophecy by having Aria “end” the long night via killing the Night King, while Jon Snow has basically no relevancy
I can’t think of a single good choice in that episode. It took one of the greatest series of all time, and made what is essentially the climax look worse than a B-movie from the 2000s
There were too many illogical moments that made the viewer scream, “Oh for crying out loud!”
I’ve never been one to look for those sorts of things, rarely notice on a first viewing, but here’s one that grabbed me:
Daenerys is the heroine for flying her dragon around the corner to see the incoming invasion fleet. Posting a dude with a signal fire on the cliff overlooking the only invasion route would have done the trick.
And Daenerys had been unhinged for seasons by the time she tried to burn King’s Landing.
Not quite like that. I remember feeling that she was very out of character when first watching S8. And she wasn’t the only one. And a lot of storylines were just ended super abruptly, which just ruin years of built up.
You’re not crazy. It wasn’t as bad as everyone says, it just wasn’t as good as earlier seasons. The people freaking out about it were either far too wrapped up in a tv show, or just get off on hating things.
For some, the the bar is just being entertained, and that’s fine. For those that appreciated the depth of story and characterization earlier on, it was a tremendous disappointment. If you don’t or cant appreciate those aspects, trying to invalidate them to justify your opinion isn’t necessary. It’s fine for people to be critical and expect more from their media; especially for a series that had a marked decline in quality.
Lol. You’re not being “critical” by calling the season garbage, you’re just throwing a fit. Actual critique includes both the good and the bad, objectively. I.e. - not letting disappointment overshadow everything else, and definitely not wishing ill of the people involved.
*Also worth pointing out the incredible hypocrisy of saying the over-the-top raging is totally fine, but anyone criticizing that is a step to far. Sure thing, bud.
Becaues it is really, really bad.

But it’s been quite a while since I’ve watched it. This drunk scottish bloke explains it quite well.

Thank you for supporting my hypothesis
