[SPOILERS] Ending Thoughts (MAJOR SPOILERS)

So I finished watching GOT about 2 months ago and have been trying to figure out exactly how I feel about the ending. Although it by no means “ruined the show” or anything like that, it was definitely disappointing in many ways so I just wanted to see what characters you guys think it got right and which you think it got wrong. For me I think the characters it got right were:

Sansa- I love Sansa bring the Queen in the North. The perfect ending for her after everything she persevered and I love knowing the Stark bloodline will continue in Winterfell.

Jon- I liked Jon going North even though I wish he was King. I think he feels like himself when he is up north. Him refusing to pursue the throne was a great parallel to his “father” Ned refusing his opportunity to take the throne. That sacrifice is what makes him the hero that he is. Plus with the wall broken and no unsullied who is to say he can’t return?

Tyrion- I loved seeing Tyrion as the hand. Varys said it best earlier in the series when he described why Tyrion cannot be king but would be a perfect Ruler.

Davos, Brienne, Sam, and Bronn- seeing the new small council was perfect. Totally satisfying

But I think it got wrong:

Dany- It made sense I guess but was too rushed.

Jamie- It was frustrating to see Jamie fail to complete his redemption. I truly believed he would kill Cersei to save the people as he once did to the mad king. However, GOT has always revealed a lot about our world and Jamie helps reveal how few true heroes there actually are. He also perfectly reflects the frustrating experience many have of us have had of seeing a person you care about continue to fall back into their bad ways.

The Hound- I wish he had conquered his fear and killed Gregor with a flaming sword.

Varys- Don’t even get me started he deserved more from Tyrion and from D&D.

Let me know what you think about who the ending got right and who it got wrong. None of my friends have finished the show and I wasn’t to talk about it without just hearing “the ending ruined everything.” Ending and all it is an incredible show and I’ve never cared about a series or a fictional world the way I do GOT.
