All the things wrong with got
Arya killing the night king solely for it to be unexpected, isn't the worst thing. The worst thing is that Jon had no real one on one with any white walker or night king. Nor did say brienne and Jaime and Arya with the walkers. Jon standing in front of Viscerion for 2 minutes while he builds up fire and then the shot cuts away, Sam on the ground surrounded by white walkers, shot cuts away. Bran seeing Arya and Sansa and telling them of Jon's heritage. Scene cuts away.
The wites run fast but when they're next to Sam and Jon when the night king resurrects the people around him, they walk insanely slow. The dothraki are all sent to battle, all die, and then all come back somehow for kings landing battle. Arya doesn't use any ability she spent 3 seasons wasting boring story lines on where she just washed dishes or fought some random girl where she was stabbed 4 times in the stomach and lives after being in nasty water and is saved by the women who she is spying on who somehow happens to know how to patch her up. She wins against the waif off screen. She kills the night king without using any ability, Bran also doesn't use his ability against the night king at all, we also never know what the night king wants, or what those symbols he left are. Cuz Dave and Dan said that they thought those symbols looked cool sk they just added them lol.
Bran is chosen to be king. Why? Because he has the best story. The dude whos story meant nothing, who was a huge let down from what was built up, has the best story? He doesn't use his ability once, he loses all character, and he is chosen. Also, WHY IS A KING CHOSEN BASED ON HIS STORY BEING GOD? Why is tyrion, the person who why is a king chosen based on his story being good? Why is tyrion choosing who's king like he isn't a prisoner who just disobeyed the king. Why aren't greyworm or the unsullied or the dothraki going after him? Why isn't Gendry being considered? Why would all the lords and ladies agree? Why would they allow Sansa to rule her own land but not anyone else?
Why would Dany burn all of kings landing after saving innocents in winterfel? Then after burning a million innocents in KL, she says winterfel is next? The place she just saved, she is not going to kill them herself? The same women who freed slaves from their masters and locked her Dragons up because they killed one innocent child? Now she kills thousands of them? Jon kills her and then drogon burns the throne down? Something he has no earthly possible way of knowing what is symbolizes? He doesn't kill the dude that just killed his mother?
Jon's heritage meant nothing in the end. Cercei did nothing for 2 seasons. Jaimes arc was ruined, they both had the worst deaths in terms of writing, in the show. As well as Dany.
Also, Jon, who just defied greyworm openly in front of the entire army, is now allowed to go see the queen, after seeing tyrion? When he sees tyrion, they take his sword away. But when he goes to the queen, they don't? Littlefinger dying is a joke, he is the smartest character, and he's reduced to garbage.
Hodors scene was beautiful. Yet it meant nothing, and changed nothing. Sad because it had so much potential. The red lady just lit the dothraki swords on fire? And they die ten seconds later? And then reappear, don't forget. Arya tip toes and uses a little switcharoo to jump on the night king and none of his white walker buddies attempt to stop her? This dude who has pin point accuracy to kill a dragon with a spear throw from hundreds or meters away while flying, can't hear, see or push or stab the girl as she is on him, nor can his men. Theon had a good ending tho, probably the best arc in the show.
The dothraki who are somehow alive again, are just gonna go back home? Same with the unsullied? And greyworm? Really? Lol. Then we go back to battle of the bastards where so many times Jon should've died, and Sansa who already had the Vales help from littlefinger, doesn't tell Jon that he has that whole army? Why? So Jon can seem more like a hero who overcame the odds and simply for shock value?
There is so much more but wow. This show didn't start going bad at s7. It started at s5, albeit slower than the downhill spiral that s7 to 8 were. S1 thru 4 are really great tho. All of this is just the things I've remembered over time. I love this show still. It's in my top 5 favorite forsure. I just can't put it in top 5 best anymore with all the contrived contradictory writing. What do u think?
