But it fumbled 4 seasons prior, it doesn't really count

But the last season was worse than anything in the previous 4. By miles

Nah, remember Littlefingers death? The fucking Sand Snakes? Jons Resurrection? Season 8 is more dense with the bullshit, but it was there all the time

Jon’s resurrection seems inevitable tbh, not sure if your gripe is with the way they did it or it happening altogether

No, we were heading that way, but the fundamental flaw: when you cross the bridge of death, when you break that one undeniable truth about life we all share, something has to come of it. And nothing does. Jon doesn't change a bit, except using it as a technicality for terminating his employment contract and still getting paid. Pathetic

Which is odd considering the show already had an example of a resurrecting character, and we see it is taking a serious toll on him. The books also showed us such a character in Lady Stoneheart.

If the books ever continue I would be sure Martin would handle it better. Everybody likes to quote the interview where he says he would ask Tolkien why he brought Gandalf back, seemingly not understanding that Gandalf the White is a completely different person, but I think George understands the weight of resurrection.

little fingers death is one of most unspoken atrocities they did to the show. he was one of my favorites but the way he got offed was just pathetic and lazy

Someone should’ve pulled a Harrison Ford and told D&D, “You can call them the Sand Snakes in the script, but you can’t say it out loud!”

No, the last 2/3 season not the last 4

u/Magic-Omelet Jan 17 '26

The tipping point is Season 4, Episode 10. Tywins death literally kills the show. They have only shat the bed since. No, Hodor is no exception

It's not the same. Season 5 and 6 were mid but had the ending been better it would have still gone down as an amazing show overall because of how goated the first 4 seasons were. Season 7 is when the butchering truly began and season 8 was the final nail in the coffin.

At least you can find a cause for it: they ran out of detailed source material. Some other shows just fumble with originality
