They were built up to be a slowly encroaching, unstoppable threat beautifully. That first scene of the show is so memorable and terrifying. Hardhome is phenomenal and really showed you the threat they posed. Even up until the very end, in the controversial Winterfell battle, they were shown to be impossible to defeat outside of killing the Night King.
I remember when that episode ended, I felt disappointed that they were beaten so soon but part of me also likes that they were beaten at Winterfell. I just always imagined that they would be able to get much further south and be a bigger threat to all of Westeros.
The Night King in my eyes should have been the final boss. Maybe I wouldn’t feel that way if Cersei had a better ending or Dany was built up as a final villain more. But then again, Game of Thrones didn’t always take the expected route. I think I’m satisfied that they lost at Winterfell but think it was a mistake not to reveal more about them. Maybe they were saving that for the spin-off about the north that got canned.
