"Perfectly average" is still miles ahead of GoT at this point.
Any problem GoT has the MCU has it 10x imo
GoT didn't have a conclusion tonight
It concluded the Night King story. In a way that's been considered a bad joke for years I might add.
Endgame. It went with an ending that made sense to the series. It didn't end with Captain Marvel killing Thanos.
Y'all should be comparing Bran and Strange for who did the best job at setting their future victories in motion.
Both were super hype as fuck and heart pounding awesomeness but Endgame had like 8 amazing moments compared to GoT's like 2
Endgame was much more satisfying.
But I do appreciate that all the Starks who didn't try to kill Captain America survived the weekend.

I always thought the people complaining about the last few seasons of Game of Thrones were way too harsh and that the show, despite its problems, was still incredible and fundamentally a worthy adaptation of the books.
Tonight's episode disabused me of that notion.

Endgame brought the classic two page spread of heroes posing in wreckage before the final battle to the screen, and did it masterfully. And that was before the movie did a victory lap/highlight reel that was beautifully pulled off.
It's hard to beat that.

I saw both today. Both were overstuffed and featured action scenes too Chaotic for their own good because the casts are just too big - even with Endgame barely touching the snapped new-school half of the cast. Both had incomprehensible logic problems in the battles.
I liked them both well enough. But I don't think I'll ever feel the need to watch either one again - and I've repeatedly watched a lot of both GoT and MCU.

Endgame was a crowning achievement. This GOT is just more of the same bullshit that plagued episode 6 last season.
It's strange how both movies are fan servicey as hell, but Endgame does it with a bit of skill and charm and this latest episode is just eye rolling. Just compare how both villains were built up and ultimately went out.

This episode made me tear up more than either Endgame or GoT did this weekend
It was a worthy adaptation of the books.
Until they ran out of books.
As soon as they had to flesh things out on their own, consistency and logic went to hell. Still has its moments. But to me they went all in on spectacle and forgot what made the show/books so special early on. I always BELIEVED in the story up until last year. Where once a created world with fantastical elements was grounded and felt real, now it's mostly just CGI and green screens and eye candy.
Still a good show and crazy for series TV. No longer a GREAT show.
Even the previous "spectacle" episodes, like Hardhome and Battle of the Bastards, still had some of that Game of Thrones intelligence and spirit. They were well-directed and weren't completely illogical. But this...
I can't vote cuz I stopped watching GoT after 4 seasons (I want my time back), but I will say I liked (not loved) Endgame, and was impressed at the way it managed to juggle all these characters and storylines that, on paper, should have collapsed under their own weight. They did a damn good job with it.
I caught Endgame a few hours before tonight's episode of GoT. Gotta say it's easily Endgame. Half the time I couldn't see anything and while there could be nitpicks for the battle in Avengers I just couldn't help but feel that so many decisions were made just to create tension, decisions that made no sense at all.
I knew this thread would exist when I jumped online.
And the answer is thrones. Endgame, even with its fan service, can't though the film making on display by Miguel Sapochnick tonight.

I loved this weeks' GoT but Endgame was the culmination of a decade of movies, save this thread for the finale.
Endgame for sure... a much better payoff from development point than GoT (both battles were incredible)...
Maybe it's my TV settings, but I found the episode to be really dark. Had trouble following the action sometimes.
I can't believe anyone even thinks the two are close. One was an emotional payoff to multiple characters weve grown with over the past 10 years, and the other was one of the saddest resolutions to a plot point that was set up seven seasons ago and now all the major characters are alive and going to carry on with the real conflict of the show.
