There are a lot of people that have an unhealthy obsession with hating this show.  All the Game of Thrones reddits and discussion boards are showing now how toxic fandom can become.

It's funny how people post everyday about how bad the show is and watch videos 20 or even 40 min long about how someone else hates the show.  They put more effort into hating the show than Martin does writing the remaining books.

Simple and straightforward. Still probably not enough for them to stop whining though.

It cracks me up the people bitching and moaning upset that more and more people are unhappy with what Dumb and Dumber have turned the show into.

It's like being a huge longtime fan of a football team, the head coach retires leaving the team in great shape, a new coach comes in, runs the team into the ground, and then some people tell the longtime fans that are unhappy with what the new coach has done that they "just don't understand" and to "stop watching if you don't like it."

I've hung in there though 8 seasons but after episode 8-4 I dont really give a shit what happens next.

It was just so distant from the story it began as. Bron wasn't even the same person.

The dragons death could have been an epic scene but it just looked fucking stupid and cartoon like with the scorpions

People can't come to terms with the fact that GOT or ASOIF isn't their story.  They spent years coming up with all kinds of theories and now when reality comes out that messes with their headcanon.  There is no way to resolve the plot and keep everyone happy.  The author can't finish the story on his own, so how does it make sense to direct all the anger at the only people that were able to actually produce and deliver a final product.

Also, D&D made a lot of good changes from the books in the show.  They remove a lot of nonsense and unnecessary characters and side plots from the show version to actually keep things moving.  I know GRRM likes to keep the main plot at a snails pace, maybe Dany will actually get to Westeros 3 more books from now, what's the rush?  People also forget GRRM has a lot of garbage writing and dialog in the books.  D&D added the Arya/Tywin scenes and wrote a lot of the Varys/Littlefinger dialog which were very good.

I think the majority of viewers enjoyed the first 68 episodes. Then they had to weight one and half years for the final season. The long wait gave plenty of time for expectations to build.

Judging by this thread and many others, the viewers are let down with how far the quality of it has dropped compared to previous seasons.

Aren't you going to blame the gun too?  I mean as long as we are blaming inanimate objects to absolve the person of any personal responsibility.....

I mean, it couldn't have been because he had serious depression and mental issues....nope.  It was all the drugs and guns fault.

In the last scene it is revealed that Jon was born a girl that later had a sex change.  Problem solved.

I have a feeling after Sunday's episode there will be no defenders left. Even the hardcore's are running out of steam at this point.
If you need an example of why that won't happen: please see the post right above this one.

I suspect though we will see a shift with the Dumb and Dumber loyalists spending less time attempting to defend the show and more time launching personal insults at people because deep down they know the show's writing is indefensible at this point.
You realize this is a tv show, right?  Some times they hit right, sometimes they fail miserably.

You seem really wrapped up in this silly fantasy show.  Like it actually matters.  Thats strange.

I can't wrap my head around the whole idea of watching it when it sucks so badly.  Are their lives so empty that they literally have nothign better to do than watch something that brings them nothing, not even entertainment?

That alone right there makes me sad for them.   Go outside, get a dog, find a girl, there has got to be something other than disappointment in their lives.

A bunch of things.  But specifically, this show.  It's an ok tv show, but I guess I am not at the point where I would dress up as a character and go to conventions.  I simply don't care how it turns out, fun to watch the bits I like, not give much of a thought to the rest of it.

LOL, dude, I don't even know what D&D is, I think it might have something to do with dungeons and dragons, this being a fantasy story, it is a good possibility.  Have at eviscerating the wizards and warlocks, or the D&D, - Truly, I don't care.

As I said in a previous message, I *might* know three characters.  I watch when the midget is on screen, I watch when the hot bad queen is on screen and I watch when there are gratuitous tits on screen.  Other than that I could not tell you a plot or name.

You are on a discussion board, discussing something that you find awful, I guess that is as justified as me discussing how strange it is that you subject yourself to the thing you find terrible.  Big world, room for everyone.

This reminds me of something.

The Denver Broncos. Stick with me.
2015 They won the superbowl. I've been a Broncos fan since ~1990 (when I was 8)

The team was great 2013-2016 when PFM was the quarterback. But the quality dropped off after he retired.

I'm still a huge fan. Us hardcore fans still root for the team, but we aren't blind to acknowledge things could be better. We are optimistic before the season starts, then commiserate when everything goes bad by week 3.

Doesn't mean we aren't fans. Doesn't mean we aren't going to watch. We are emotionally invested as fans. We might even analyze the strategy the team is employing, even if we aren't professional football coaches.

Does that sound crazy?

You realize this is a tv show, right?  Some times they hit right, sometimes they fail miserably.

You seem really wrapped up in this silly fantasy show.  Like it actually matters.  Thats strange.
There are a lot of people that have an unhealthy obsession with hating this show.  All the Game of Thrones reddits and discussion boards are showing now how toxic fandom can become.

It's funny how people post everyday about how bad the show is and watch videos 20 or even 40 min long about how someone else hates the show.  They put more effort into hating the show than Martin does writing the remaining books.
I can't wrap my head around the whole idea of watching it when it sucks so badly.  Are their lives so empty that they literally have nothign better to do than watch something that brings them nothing, not even entertainment?

That alone right there makes me sad for them.   Go outside, get a dog, find a girl, there has got to be something other than disappointment in their lives.
You can't wrap your head around the idea that people who have spent 8 years watching a story will stick around for two more weeks to see how it ends even if they know it's a train wreck?

For your sake I hope you're just trolling because if that simple of a concept is truly too complex for you to understand... wow.
I'll skip this one, as tt really doesn't move your cause ahead at all.   LOL.
Aw, and here I just thought you didn't have a comeback.

Still waiting on your brilliant retort.

There have been a lot of dumb movies I've watched. I usually watch the whole thing to see how it ends up... even if it's stupid.

It reminds me of hallmark movies. The best thing about them is guessing 1/3 of the way through and then seeing how correct you were at the end.

What makes it even funnier is he said "I *might* know three characters. I watch when the midget is on screen, I watch when the hot bad queen is on screen and I watch when there are gratuitous tits on screen. Other than that I could not tell you a plot or name."

So if that's the case why does he care so much if people are unhappy with with way S8 is going?

You guys are missing the obvious ending... EVERYBODY dies, and Westeros becomes an egalitarian republic, free from hereditary rulers, where women and homos are elected to the highest seats of power, slavery is nonexistent, and toxic masculinity is reduced to ashes forever.

The hound can't kill his brother because his brother has a pocket full of matches and it scares him. Lame of Thrones. Its like they changed every writer, director and most of the actors. I really enjoyed until this season. Still going to watch even though poor old giant lover got rejected by the big gal.

On the plus side most of the acting has been really great this year. Despite some of the writing elements.

Even Euron, who's a dollar store Pirate, the actor does a great job with what he has to work with.
Grey Worm this season too...

I do feel bad for Tormund- he got rejected by the ugly chick and longdicked by prettyboy Jaime. He is right to take his shit and go home. Maybe the gals are more compliant there... Southron (south of the Wall for him) bitches be crazy, yo.

Fuck Storm’s End, Gendry, let’s go get some “kissed by fire” wildling pussy...

Not only that, but he's continuously been a good dude. He saved the wildlings from becoming wights. He saved several of the Night's Watch from being killed. He and the wildlings helped end the NW mutiny in season ... 6?  And he is obviously attracted to Brienne, but he's not forceful or even rude, and when she rejects him he accepts it and moves on.

Chicks always go for the assholes.

And what happened? Jaime hit it and quit it.

This show is easily the biggest collection of very good (or better) actors to appear on the same show in tv history.  Which makes what Dumb and Dumber have turned it into even more egregious.

Guess that notion of picking a partner based on personality was a dumb one.  Team Fucking Tormund. Sometimes losing the dogfight is winning.

Star Wars is dead regardless.  For the foreseeable future the best we can hope for is more stuff like this.

A 6 minute clip FAR more entertaining than the entire TLJ film.

Podrick got game. Go Pod.  The Pimp is strong with this one. Maybe the story we heard about how Illyn lost his tongue is not entirely accurate.

Tormund will change his mind and come back with Ghost, who saves Jon from dying and allows him to be king. Tormund will make some crack about Jon not knowing anything, then will find Brienne (who just lost Jamie) and carry her off to the north.

I think it's time for HBO to remake The Lord of the Rings with D&D.  Some minor changes to make it better.

1. Sam and Frodo are a gay couple.  Sam is transgender.
2. Merry and Pippin are female, and are lesbians.  
3. Aragorn rapes Arwen in Rivendell because muh Patriarchy!  
4. Boromir dies for no reason.  Immediately thereafter, Merry and Pippin ninja-kill over 8000 orcs.  
5. Legolas and Gimli are also gay.  They have a running contest over who has slain the most orcs sucked the most dicks.  
6. Gandalf returns as Gandalf the Rainbow, and has robes made of the LGBTOMGWTFBBQ flag.  He rides a My Little Pony into battle.
7. Because of Aragorn's rape of Arwen, Elrond never sends aid and everyone but the main characters die at Helm's Deep.
8. Merry and Pippin spend the entire time telling the Ents about the Patriarchy and forget to warn about Saruman.
9. Ents show up anyways because reasons and save main characters.  Maybe Saruman forgot about the Ents?  
10. Main characters teleport to Minas Tirith with half the Rohirrim somehow still alive.  
11. Sam teleports to Minas Tirith and kills the Witch King.
12. Frodo is eaten by Shelob.  Expectations subverted!
13. Sam puts on the One Ring and instantly Deus ex Machinas Sauron and all the evil creatures at once.  As a super oppressed transgender hobbit whose pronouns are xe and xir, it is impossible for Sam to be corrupted by evil patriarchal magic.  No one mentions that they could have done this 30 seconds into the first movie and saved everyone some trouble.  Maybe they forgot about the One Ring?
14. Arwen become Queen of Gondor, because if you look at this one prophecy sideways it could really be talking about Elros' niece rather than the last male heir of the line of Elros.  
15. Aragorn just goes back to being a ranger.

THE END.

It's like a train wreck, adults arguing over the stupidest shit.  Consent given by a fantasy woman, battle directives of orcs and dragons.

It is entertaining in a "oh shit, are they all wearing fedoras and can they actually make it up their moms basement stairs" kinda way.

Do this, point out one, single instance where I expressed unhappiness over any direction that is being taken on this tv show.  A single one.

I expressed interest in seeing the mean queen get naked again.  But that was the height of my interest.

LOL, I do believe you have me confused with another Knight here.

You're not bitching about the direction the show has been taken.  You're bitching about people criticizing the writing of a show of which you said you "might know three characters."

I have no idea why you care so much what people think about a show you yourself claim to not care much about it.

Not at all surprising you still haven't come up with a response to this one. I guess it's just one more thing that's too complex to "wrap your mind around."
