Makes you feel like everyone is dying, the doth and un armies, the main characters, all dying to masses of zombies that sometimes move super fast, sometimes can barely walk, then next scene everyone is fine and a few episodes later it's as if 90% of Winterfell survived the Winter.

      Literally all the rules and character building/world building they created for the whole series was broken in the last season. Tyrion is wise yet tells everyone to hide in the crypts against an enemy who can raise the dead. Varys is a master of whispers, a cunning spy/master manipulator puppet master who controls everyone from the shadows without them even knowing yet his betrayal plot is instantly foiled because he tells everyone about it openly. Dany always chooses kindness of cruelty and finds this to be a winning strategy that rallies people to her side only to flip out and set everyone on fire. Jamie realizes he has been manipulated by his siter for years and redeems himself, proving he doesn't need to be evil and can fight for good and can even love another woman (Brienne) just goes back to being Cersei's evil plaything. Bran who we are told for years cannot hold any titles of nobility because he has godlike powers and thus exists on a higher plane than man is named king.

Maybe everyone forgot that this is the same woman who lost her husband and her child, as well as her fertility in the very first season, and she still punished only the one woman responsible, not the entire khalasar that was rescued. She keeps losing her best friends and loyal people from her Khalasar for many years now, so she just lost her mind suddenly the moment she set foot in Westeros? The dragons have so much precision that they ate specific people who sought to harm her many times in close spaces, but she couldn't burn Cersei without torching the whole King's Landing? Maybe that ending could have worked if only they had fleshed it out, but they forgot that dragons or armies are not what made Dany special, she was a dragon herself, she had something majestic, intellingent, graceful and dangerous about her, which is why people followed her willingly. There's a difference between being ruthless when necessary and being insecure and paranoid to the point of cruelty.

If they had given it more time and flushed it out for another season or two, I could see her on a downward slope from greatness to saying screw it, I can't trust anyone so everyone is dragon lunch because that's the only way to get people to obey then that might have worked, but they rushed it too soon.

I’m apparently in the minority of people who agreed with Dany’s character arc. I never really liked her, and she was always overly aggressive an unmerciful. It hit me during the city burning that her dad, the Mad King, did the same thing before he died. I thought it made at least SOME sense.
      It was definitely not a fan servicey ending, and left me wanting more.

      @SelvesteSand 2 년 전 +88

      He never cared *much* for the people in King's Landing, which is not a lie. We see a sort of redemtion arc, but it's really just about getting to know his good sides. His bad sides are still there. He truly never really cared much for the little people. He had a sense of honour, but not strong enough to prevent him from trying to kill a child to cover up his incestuous relationship. Of right and wrong, but never strong enough to put right above his own wants and needs.
      He also killed his king not so much to save innocents as to avoid having to try to kill his own father, and to save his own life regardless of the outcome of that, because it was obvious to anyone but the king that the war was lost.
      And yet, in this scene, he is kinda lying to himself, exaggerating to himself how he doesn't care as an excuse to get to Cersei, the drug he is addicted to. Many addicts easily fall back into addiction, and this is exactly what this is. Jaime never changed much, we just got to know him better. If Cersei hadn't been in danger, he probably could have stayed away. But suddenly he got faced with one last chance to see her ever, and he fell right back into his addiction.
      And despite our feelings for him, he and Cersei were together their whole lives and together were the #1 villains since episode 1, so it was fitting, in a way, for them to die together. Jaime's redemption, in the eyes of the audience, had already happened, that arc was already complete. But to himself, his primary arc was his relationship with Cersei.
