Why "Game of Thrones" disappointed fans and more than 1 million people demand to reshoot the finale

Categories: World |

On May 19, the premiere of the last episode of the eighth season of the series "Game of Thrones", called "The Iron Throne", took place. In it, we finally found out which of the heroes will become the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, who will die and who will remain alive, and, it should be noted, the ending turned out to be very unexpected.

But fans of "Game of Thrones" were dissatisfied with such a conclusion. Even after the release of the fifth episode of the series, a petition appeared on the network calling on the creators of "IP" to reshoot the last season. And now, after the premiere of the final series, the number of people who signed it has reached one million! What caused such a reaction from the audience, read in our material.

A real "winter" has come among the fans of "Game of Thrones" — most viewers categorically did not like the last eighth season of the cult saga. And they have good reasons to express their dissatisfaction.

Daenerys' Dragons

After watching season 8, Game of Thrones fans have a lot of questions left for Daenerys' dragons. Firstly, they care why one of the dragons — Reigal — instantly died from 3 shots from the "Scorpions"? And why did the surviving Drogon single-handedly destroy the entire fleet Euron Greyjoy, and even dozens of arrows from the Scorpions could not stop him?

Secondly, fans are wondering why the King of the Night, riding a dead dragon, just didn't burn Winterfell to the ground? Thirdly, why did Drogon decide to destroy the Iron Throne instead of Jon Snow in the final episode? Did the reptile realize that he was the source of all the problems? Obviously, the answers to these questions are known only to screenwriters.

Stupid generals

Even people who do not understand the rules of combat at all realized that it was at least pointless to send light Dothraki cavalry to the army of the dead. Did the generals not guess that the King of the Night would easily resurrect all the fallen warriors and force them to fight on his side? Well, the Faultless ones, left in an open field with only spears — in general, the height of absurdity.

In addition, the audience considered it very stupid to hide women and children in a crypt next to the buried bodies, which can get out of their graves at any moment, which happened.

Time jumps

Viewers are already used to the fact that the characters of "Game of Thrones" somehow miraculously move between different kingdoms in a few days (or even hours). But in the eighth season, fans were expected not only to jump in time, but also to "play speed x2". The creators of the series, obviously, were in such a hurry to finish this season as soon as possible that they "stuffed" as many events as possible into each episode, leaving absolutely no time to work out the details.

If the showrunners in the creation of the series proceeded from the saturation of books, perhaps fans would be able to see at least 2 more seasons of "Game of Thrones". But the authors did not stretch the project waiting for George Martin to finish the cycle, so they decided to overtake the writer and complete the series on their own. Apparently, they overestimated their strength, because there is simply no other way to explain such a number of broken storylines.

King of the Night

All seven seasons we were presented with the King of the Night as the most terrible evil and all the existing evils in the world. But in the third episode of the 8th season, the powerful leader of the army of the dead was able to kill with amazing ease, albeit a difficult, but still a girl - Arya Stark.

Also, viewers are disappointed that they did not learn any details about the identity of the King of the Night. We know that thousands of years ago it was created by the Children of the forest — they pierced the heart of an ordinary person with a piece of dragon glass. And so supposedly a monster appeared that could stop the invasion of the First people.

But who was this man? How did you assemble your army? Where have you been hiding all this time? The answers to these questions, apparently, we will never know.

A large number of mistakes

The eighth season of "Game of Thrones" is rich not only in surprises, but also in technical mistakes. We even devoted a separate article to this topic, where you can see with your own eyes what inconsistencies the creators of the saga made.

However, with the release of each new series, the list of blunders was rapidly replenished. For example, in the final 6th episode, viewers noticed a plastic water bottle hiding behind a leg Samwell Tarly.

Well, now you can see that the authors of the petition posted on the website Change.org , there are enough reasons for indignation. It is also worth adding to them the merged character Daenerys Targaryen, an undeserved death Cersei and Jaime Lannister, the sudden change of government in the Seven Kingdoms and the obvious "economy" of showrunners on large-scale battle scenes.

Have you already watched the 8th season of "Game of Thrones"? Are you ready to sign the petition?
