Also Jon’s death is a retelling of Julius Caesar’s death...everything about it. The conspirators wanting to protect something they loved, being betrayed by someone the person was mentoring and the conflict being over giving citizenship to people from foreign lands. They lifted that entire storyline from history.
It's official: Game of Thrones is the most hurtful entertainment experience I've ever had.

8 great seasons?Seasons 1-5 were amazing, after that the show fell off and 8 was a dumpster fire
Ehh Season 6 was good.
Battle of the b*stards was amazing.
Season 7 was where it got iffy but we gave them the benefit of the doubt. We thought they were saving the best for the last season. We even waited almost two agonizing years for it. Then we got it. And it was fukking garbage.
I 100% agree
Battte of the b*stards was mind blowing when I witnessed it. I mean that scene within the war was the greatest inbbattle scene to me since Saving Private Ryan.
Then, that was followed up with the Cersei blowing up the Cept joint
Man GOT was on 10 after that shyt

I can tell you got people really were not into hero fantasy based shyt a d were noobs.
as anyone who reads or like that sword and the sorceror type shyt knows they never have ever made a great one.
they will not make a great one because of bullshyt spreadsheet semantics.
so you got your x rated maleficent.
not sure how you nikkaz did not see you was watching x rated maleficent.
glad i never wasted my time. I
any fantasy shyt with no real hero is a waste of time.
nobody go time to watch no mediocre, Eric types from dungeons and dragons be the hero.
nobody wants to watch a gay hero as it is pointless as well.
show never established a masculine hero. Just gay incestuous ideals from Sparticus on Starz meets maleficient.
you nikkaz should know by now. Till you become vocsl about them giving y'all bullahit. They will conti ue to give you bullshyt.
boycot that bullshyt when it does not have simple concepts that equal quality.
got was never quality and it started from the simple premise of it never had a real high quality hero to be good.
john snow is the most bytchmade dude i seen since Harry potter.
I would not be caught dead reading or watching nuffin.
with those soft bytchmade hero as the focal point.
y'all generation lost and need to go find some definitive hero's and content direction. Plus, stop trying to make the villain a hero.
it will not work,...it has never worked.
this is not wrasslin.
you can not market a bad guy as the focal point and think it will be a block bluster.
stop letting them market villains like the are a hero or worth your time.
it is extreme bullshyt narcissism and it does not work.
villains are not heros, period.
stop buying that prison industrial marketed bullshyt.
villains are villains they are not antiheros.
fukk that nineties antihero bullshyt. It never produced not one interesting story or hero. As it is an oxymoron.

I been official
I agree. I've watched a couple shows more than once but have no urge to ever go back to GOT and that was my favorite shyt for awhile. Season 8 had me heated with the fukks ups, season 7 was trash too but I gave it a pass on the fast forwarding shyt thinking they'd come thru and finish it nicely for season 8 but they went full retard
First off shootout to the OG bookreaders who kept shyt going @Adam3000 @beanz @MidniteJay @Twitter @T-K-G @dennis roadman @detroitwalt
I was a new pup to the fantasy genre back on
. I was a big reader but never the fantasy genre. I watched the 1st episode of thrones while lurking the thread and was hooked. Following season 1 I got into the books. Was even there day 1 for aDwD release. Listening to lore. Was even shytting on Lord of the Rings stans about GRRM being a better writer than Tolkien.
If you were to tell me after reading aDwD that by 2019 we still wouldn't have the next book, I would've called you a liar. At this point I'm willing to go Annie Wilkes on GRRM if I catch up to his ass.
That said, the final season was like the last year of a great marriage or the final weeks of an amazing relationship; that despite the great times, the bad ending will sour the story.
I used to be Mr Game of Thrones around the office...now...I dont even want to really talk about it. Not just cause of season 8. But due to the fact that I saw this rush and cash grab coming. I knew I wasn't going to get my War of the Usurper prequel despite that being the only way they could keep the audience numbers. It's kinda like what Disney has done to true Star Wars fans this last trilogy.
The only saving grace would be us getting the books. It's not so much how things ended up in the end. It's the way they told the story. I have faith GRRM is going to bless me in 2020 with redemption prior to the release of the 1st prequel for marketing reasons. But one can only hope

I ain't near as mad about GOT as I was about LOST.
With GOT we will still get the full proper story in the books to fall back on.
Lost left us with nothing.
Matter of fact, I aint even mad much about GOT at all. Yes we were in denial about D&D finishing it properly, but the show was always a supplement to the books. In some ways, the rush job ending will make the books more rewarding than they would have otherwise been.
Maybe.
If George ever finishes.

I caught on late...just finished watching season 7 a couple days ago. The comments I have heard about season 8 almost make me not want to watch it 
LMAO @ the fact that a petition was actually done to redo season 8 and it’s got over 1.7 million signatures

There are theories that Jon won’t be brought back until very late in Winds.
Also, most believe he will be drastically changed as a character.
Where GoT dropped the ball is Jon barely changed as a result of his death. Beric said death and resurrection has a cost and you come back a little less, a little darker, and that is a theme GRRM has explored in the books. If you die and come back, there will be a cost to it.
In the show, he was tired of fighting for half an episode and then was back to being his regular mopey but idealistic self. No change, no inner darkness, no growth or regression, or narrative cost that justified the plot.
In fact the only tangible thing it did was allow him to leave the NW. but even that felt limp because no one even bothered to ask why he left the NW. His death was just completely glossed over, only being addressed in cute one liners.
His assassination also made much more sense and was thematically more interesting in the books. In the books he was killed because he was actively breaking his vows by trying to rescue fake Arya. It created an interesting morally grey wrinkle. But in the show, post season 4, D&D decided complexity for Jon was dead and instead made him a one note dummy.
So his assassination was framed as the selfless hero being snaked by the evil sinister backstabers.
D&D never really understood their characters or the themes they were adapting.

the Shield last season was... incredible. I have never watched something that had me on the edge of my seat like
wondering if my boy Vic was gonna make itIt was an incredible experience

I kind of agree with everything you said except this. NK would had destroyed the world if he didn't fall at Winterfell. It was his pure intentions.
You could argue yes or no that Dany would destroyed/rule the world. It's debatable.
NK is pure evil since his existence. Dany goes evil when she's go mad.
Bottom line is Jon Snow should had been the one that killed the NK. That was his arc.
Edit: the final season of Spartacus
We just didn't know what was gonna happen
GoT pass Spartacus as my favorite show until season 8. The send off for my guy Spartacus.
when he caught that sharp ass sword with his palm 
When he got hit by them spears
When Crassus gave him his respect and he wish Spartacus "I wish you was a Roman and my ally"
And when Spartacus told him nahhh bro
Best fukking ending ever
