George is just pacing himself - Lemmy.World

My theory is he actually helped write the ending of the TV show, and when the fans absolutely despised it, realized he had to scrap his entire ending.
The problem was the execution. A tyrannical Daenarys as the final villain makes sense, but she was never actually given the time to be the Mad Queen. It’s like they were given the bullet points of the ending and instead of fleshing it out into a proper story, they just used the bullet points as the entire source for the script.
This was a show that was totally cool spending 2-3 seasons for a payoff. I can’t believe I’m still upset by how they speedran through everything.
I’m still surprised how GoT was on the forefront of pop culture and with 2 seasons any and all interest was morphed to apathetic disdain. No really talks about it anymore. It’s only “they fucked up the ending”. Blue balled an entire fandom that it impacted the show runners careers. I’m really hoping HotD brings the fandom back (also, a reboot of the last 2 seasons as a whole new show would be dope)
The final season fucked up so badly that it killed not only my love for the show, but the Game of Thrones universe as a whole. I had planned to read the books and certainly would have watched HotD, but now I just don’t care anymore.
I also felt like that but after some time i watched HotD and it was great, the only thing i’m worried about is it getting worse with the new seasons like GoT did
I can’t think of another pop culture fall from grace as dramatic and quick. It’s always amusing seeing all the overstock GoT merch at hobby stores that they can’t unload. Nobody gives a fuck.
