lmao. I hope he is trolling with that GoT bullshit. The actors can't be that stupid about why fans were angry....well. I might be expecting too much

tbh his character had an ideal ending so maybe that's all he was fussed about.

we think he's smart because his character started out smart but he's just a regular Hollywood white man. We're maybe stupid for expecting anything different

Actually I just wanted the episodes starting with the The Long Night not to feel rushed, shitty, and full of scenarios that didn’t roll out with any of the build or surprise the show was famous for. And for Cersei to have any kind of coherent plan and to meet her fate in a more interesting and fitting way. And for the Cleganebowl to have been… better (though I didn’t see the Arya redirection by advice from The Hound coming and I very very much appreciated it so I’ll forgive Cleganebowl).

And yeah OP I guess you’re right Dany’s end could have subverted her family curse (I hadn’t thought of that I just wanted it to be better executed).

Oh and also just less Bronn, or him dying, or anything that didn’t have him always coming out on top and smug.

P.S. I would happily have taken seeing Unella and/or Ellaria is some way even if only their bones or them still trapped as the building fell or getting free and going for Cersei even if they failed to kill her or failed to even reach her.

I still think Bronn survived so long because the showrunners thought it was hilarious that Lena and he didn't get along.

Ugh! The showrunners already seem like coddled mediocre white guys, so not surprising but still, ugh.

or more like the last season felt like it should have been at least 3 separate seasons

What the hell is he talking about? It’s as though he’s read none of the criticisms, which were all legitimate.
