[SPOILERS] Quick thoughts after finishing the series

I watched S1 to S8 in the last 4 days, had nothing to do during the lockdown.

S1 to S6 included was literally p e r f e c t, I cannot name a single thing that bugged me out or that I disliked. I liked the bad people, I liked the good people, the scenario, everything.

While watching S7 I thought it was good overall but actually the worst out of the 7 seasons I watched so far.

Then I watched S8... I have no words, how can the 6 first seasons be so well written, then ruined like that. It really takes intelligence to write something this good, how can it be the same man that wrote S7 and 8 I'm out of words.

My main issues are how the White Walkers, the big problematic built up since the beginning, the Great War, be resolved in a single episode... A single pathetic battle at Winterfell. How did it end ? Arya coming out of nowhere through the thousands enemies, one shotting the Night King and winning the Great War. Reality can be disappointing but this is a show, make the damn thing interesting...

And then Daenerys... I liked her character development in the beginning, it was really good, from innocence to slowly growing fiercer and fiercer, it made sense. But why does the character get so stupid as it goes on I don't get, and her entitlement to the throne and her ending insanity seems so far fetched, we don't see where it comes from really. To me her character is the main reason the ending was this bad.

Then comes Jon Snow... They basically ruined the two most important characters. In such a short span of time he became crazy in love with some girl he doesn't know anything about. Again, in the real world it happens, but this is a show, make it meaningful...

And we don't get why he lose all sense of reality in the end. Daenerys burned alive thousands of children and innocents, and was planning on genociding the whole 7 kingdoms, and he still wonders if she was right or wrong doing it ? Even after killing her ? He really looked pathetic, what a way to ruin such a character..

If you ever recommend this series to someone, tell him to stop at S7. I would be more happy having never watched S8 even if I'd die of curiosity, than die of disappointment.
