Yep, agree with this. The forces set in motion were not adequately resolved and the power vacuum was not adequately dealt with.
I still enjoyed it but couldn't help think the Dothraki and Unsullied had been done dirty by the writers. Actually, I had lot more problems with the resolutions, heh. Too many to list.
I actually really like episode 5 and this felt like a damp squib of an ending.
That was what I expected. The seat of power - King's Landing - was just razed to the ground. The Red Keep in ruins. Dany would die and the throne destroyed. No more kings.
The North and Iron Islands already desire independence, the other houses would follow suit to prevent another war after so much slaughter and the houses/region would rule themselves as independent lands. The wheel is broken, the smoking ruins of King's Landing as a grim monument to the cost.
Ghost being a Thanos like entity in his own Universe would be the best twist of all time.
All the memes are killing me but this one might be my favorite.
The only time mention we got was Tyrion mentioning that he had been thinking about shit for "weeks" in that dungeon.
I bet their tunes changed once they saw what the "other stuff" ended up being.
I would have loved an entire season of Dany as tyrant. I would have loved another season of Dany dead and everyone else dealing with the repercussions.
But alas, instead we got that super sick counsel meeting that made a ton of sense and was totally the best way to decide who is king.... totally...
Bran the Broken is an apt name because his ability to see the future while also playing an active part in the story completely breaks the plot. He's no Gandalf, if that was their intention. Gandalf's foreknowledge was only lightly (if at all) hinted upon. Bran keeps telling everyone he can see the future.
You should post them in the thread.

When I think terrible ending I think Dexter or Mass Effect 3. To me this ending just seemed boring. The season was handled terribly, but the end points for most of the characters are plausible in a vacuum.
Maybe I'm going easy on it since I know we'll (hopefully) get a different ending from the original writer.

Bran ending up on the Iron Throne fits GRRM and his sci-fi roots, it doesn't fit the show because the bungled the execution. GRRM always talks about how exactly did Aragorn rule wisely for however many years after the LOTR. Well, Bran is the answer to the perfect ruler. A benevolent GOD-AI that can enact measures that are best for humanity without care for personal ambition or emotions. He can see into the past, present, and future and always decide the best course of action. And, once he grows too frail as the 3ER after a 100+ years, he simply finds a new successor and aids them in unlocking their gift so they can take over once he is gone. Thus, Westeros is forever ruled by a GOD-AI King that can never be betrayed and will always do what is best for everyone.
i couldn't even tell if it was a trial or not
jon snow wasn't there but tyrion is
i can't think about this show any more, it was the dumbest ending imaginable
Or maybe I just like other things. You know not everything has to be for everyone. And Endgame was clearly not a good movie for ME.
But in the books the 3ER isn't as benevolent. They need blood sacrifices for one thing
...and then Tyrion the prisoner basically hand picks the next king....¯\_(ツ)_/¯ alrighty.
A) We don't know that for sure, not yet.
B) One could say a Blood Sacrifice every now and then is a small price to pay for a perfect ruler (cue Warhammer 40k memes).
They forgot.
Good points all around.
This is why they should have had Jon at the meeting. They should have had all of the leaders argue and threaten each other for the kingdom until Jon speaks up and says he WANTS to go to the wall. Then, because they cant agree on who rules, everyone else decides that they should be independent like the North.
Therefor, the wheel is broken, we no longer have a king/queen and Jon is going somewhere on his own terms, getting away from the fighting and politics that he has tried to escape for so long. Bran then keeps being the 3ER and goes to live in the Godswood in Winterfell.
Oh I agree but it's going to be as creepy an ending as it is happy. It won't have the same tone as the show
You know what's weird? Dany in her last scene seemed like the only time she's really seemed truly happy all show. That and when she flew to the waterfall with Jon. She was like "lol Jon can ride a dragon just like me that's weird oh well who's my adoreminable Snow-Man?"
This kind of dismissal of criticism as simply people not having their pet theories realised is some hot bullshit. It really needs to stop.
I think it's pretty shitty to treat an upset (with good reason) woman without perfect makeup and hairdo as crazy or mad. One would say it's misogynist.
I do want to say that I like Bran as King and that I called him becoming King like 10 years ago and everyone laughed at me, but the way the show actually did it, and did his character development over all 8 seasons was painful and dumb and unearned.
Mostly I'm just glad this is over.

Sad but true.
Last four seasons have all been kinda bad in their own way, but enjoyable for the most part regardless.
People are already forgetting about Sansa getting married to Ramsay and all things Dorne in S5, The Terminator-Waif in S6, and well just about everything that happened in S7 and S8.
What a betrayal to the themes of a series which prides itself on providing a more nuanced and grounded take on fantasy. A perfect all seeing all knowing god emperor, no matter how much plot you put behind it is no different than Aragorn ruling in peace and living happily ever after. It's a creation of a perfect being which doesn't exist in real life.
.....there are people that post articles without context to push their narrative.
What is there to talk about? It could have been some cool twist but it just looks like something random that happens without reason. He doesn't want to be king but that's why he came all the way there? What?
They could have saved this ending with some clever twist with bran but there's nothing there.
What would Sansa have done if Bran had said no? Would she really have declared War on her brother there and then?
Bro, Dragons and Magic don't exist in real life nor do people rising from the dead. This is a fantasy series.
Yes, and then lost when she realized she was outnumbered and facing an omniscient GOD because Sansa is the smartest person in Westeros.
As a disabled person with access to Wikipedia, it's nice to know that I could some day be king. Thanks Bran.
Because it was pointless, first he committed treason, second they moved on on naming kings after birth rights so, it was a non issue. That's my understanding.
Pretty much my thoughts. Like with nearly everything this season, it could've been handled better. As it is now, it's just weird.
Remember in S7 Sansa and Arya were this close to killing each other?
the woman who consults with GRRM about the books (Linda of Elio and Linda) says that she thinks 100% bran is evil and that the real ending is him manipulating everything to put himself on the throne and that the reason he wants to know where Drogon is at is because he wants a dragon
They completely ruined the entire build of the white walkers and night king. There was never anything as remotely interesting as the Red Wedding. For awhile now it's been like every other mediocre tv show with straightforward dimwitted plotting.
yeah but they made such a big deal about it in the show. Varys dies last episode for this.
No, most of us were satisfied with the ending, based on what was available at this point in the show. my best friend even mostly predicted the big plot points, like Drogon melting the throne, and John wandering in the wildlands with Ghost.
The first four seasons were generally pretty excellent and S6 was solid entertainment, the rest? Oof
