    mate you make the season sound better than it is

  2. Em Pac on August 7, 2020 at 8:55 pm

    I just thought maybe the idiotic line of “we seem to be missing a Master of War and a Master of Whispers” is supposed to hint that in King Bran’s world neither are no longer needed?

  3. Kim Smith on August 7, 2020 at 8:55 pm

    There is alot of ignorance in these videos about television (or movie) production. The longer the show ran, the more famous the lead actors were becoming. They were becoming in demand for motion pictures, etc. This means, that they were demanding more money per episode. Since HBO is a premium cable network, its revenue is based on subscription, not advertising. In other words, they don’t sell really expensive commercial spots during their more popular shows. People would go to pubs and parties to watch GOT, rather than subscribe to HBO. So, the more expensive the episodes became, the less lucrative they became for HBO. So, they had to cut the number of episodes per season. There was less nudity as the season progressed as well. Because characters were demanding more money to do nude scenes. Granted, some episodic television specifies what the salary increases will be, projecting the additional seasons. However, they do not all do this. Nor do they do this for all characters. So, basically, GOT became too expensive to maintain the quality of the show.

    William tossing arpund machines like they ukdnt kill him with one punch but he lives nonetheless

  5. The Piper Report on August 7, 2020 at 8:56 pm

    Rewatching this a year later and I almost forget how much of a shit show season 8 was. Season 7 as well.. Dumb and Dumber shouldn’t be allowed to write or produce for TV shows ever again.

  6. MISAKIBeats on August 7, 2020 at 8:59 pm

    18:56 You raise a good question, I feel though it was a "Best outcome in a million possibilities" scenario we saw like in the Avengers Infinite War by Doctor Strange

  7. Harry Christensen on August 7, 2020 at 9:01 pm

    Strange, its just a blank screen the whole time – probably because the final season hasn’t aired yet – cant wait! It’s gonna be great I just know it!

  8. El Chapo on August 7, 2020 at 9:01 pm

    Bran got his lottery without buying any lottery ticket … 🤔🤔🤔🤔

  9. Anil Palan on August 7, 2020 at 9:02 pm

    Danny dying = yes

    Jon exiled to the North = yes (though I believe he should have gone there not as a prisoner/criminal, but voluntarily)

    Implementation of an elected High King = yes

    Bran becomes first High King = ehhh… An advisor maybe, not King.

    Bran has the greatest story argument = Whaa?

  10. Mason Talks movies on August 7, 2020 at 9:09 pm

    Bro this video is great an all but you don’t need to pretend that episode made Sense

  11. Iliyan Viktorov on August 7, 2020 at 9:10 pm

  12. piyodamariVer2.25 on August 7, 2020 at 9:10 pm

    Lol wut? Alright, time to wait for book ending…… In 20…. 50 yrs?

  13. Ava Deng on August 7, 2020 at 9:11 pm

    literally none of this would’ve happened if Aemon had just became king and been like fuck you to aerys, god

  14. TheLiquidPepper on August 7, 2020 at 9:11 pm

    Watching 4 minutes of this video, I feel you already put in more thought into it than D&D did for the entire season 8. If you polish a turd until it shines, it will still be a turd. There is no rescue for D&D’s GoT. D&D sold out GoT for a $200M Netflix contract and a tease about Star Wars. They were told to massacre Game of Thrones. Make it horrendous, stupid, alienate the fans on a nuclear scale. Burn everything and sow the fields with salt. Make the parents who named their children "Daenerys" and "Khaleesi" (lol) hang their heads in shame. Make people want to spit on HBO. Destroy this Game of Thrones trademark forever. And they did. May the Father judge them harshly. D&D betrayed HBO, everyone knows it, but no big media is brave enough to say it publicly.

    At 13:25 when he says react it sounds like he has autotune

  16. Grace Cookie on August 7, 2020 at 9:12 pm

    Cersei paid off the iron bank with the gold taken from sacking the reach

  17. B. Murphy on August 7, 2020 at 9:12 pm

    At 26:00 start the complaints…. and they’re all the complaints that the series suddenly starts acting exactly like the pointless shitty books… lol…

  18. Shawn Edwards on August 7, 2020 at 9:13 pm

    The perfect explanation for all this is just some of the most lazy fucking writing and any fucks that were once given are given no more. Also unless Bran is physically harmed by someone, he’s gonna be king for………well forever.

  19. Thomas A. Anderson on August 7, 2020 at 9:14 pm

    Jon should’ve been the cousin and father of the king and end it at that.

  20. Gitfiddle 7766 on August 7, 2020 at 9:17 pm

    If we took the ending of season 8, and created season 9, using logic (I know silly right?), the first that would happen is all of the houses in Westeros would break into war to try to gain the thrown again. Why would the Dornish be ok with a northern ruler? How long could the remaining Dothraki exist without pillaging local villages for food and slaves? They’re not exactly farmers are they? Why the hell is Jon Snow alive? The first thing Grey Worm would of done is publicly behead Jon Snow and the remaining Lannister. Why is a creepy kid in a wheelchair the king? Because he has a good story? Ive got a good story: a priest a rabbi and nun walk into a bar…. This goes on and on. The ending of this show is so completely stupid it bloggers the mind. Season 8 doesn’t need to be explained. It’s right in the surface. It’s about as deep as a kiddie pool.

  21. Mahrukh Shaikh on August 7, 2020 at 9:19 pm

    North ruled by Sansa Stark and the rest by Brandon Stark. Big Difference 🙄

  22. Christopher D on August 7, 2020 at 9:19 pm

    Queen Slayer

  23. ghost on August 7, 2020 at 9:19 pm

    Greyworm was an unsullied right? So he should know how it feels to be a soldier who follows orders. What the hell happened with his voice of reason? Just vanish entriely along with the creators brains?

  24. Alex Fahey on August 7, 2020 at 9:21 pm

    Charlotte never meets maive but knew that she needed to kill hector and brong back clemetine that was the death bringer… It tested humans and hosts… Charlotte is with bernard the entire time seasom 2 cuse she needs tp get valley but everytime bernard brongs back delores… Its a rerun they keep trying to test for fidelity and charlotte neber will get it… Hosts already took pver the world serac saod it so watch

  25. Catseye189 on August 7, 2020 at 9:25 pm

    Finale explained: Yeah it’s messed and things don’t make sense….

  26. itowickedcrack 16 on August 7, 2020 at 9:26 pm

    "Game of thrones" more like game of becoming a nazi

  27. Jake Sangria on August 7, 2020 at 9:27 pm

    Daenerys is a progressive. Everything she’s saying and doing follows exactly in the path of Your Average leftist today

  28. jason tan on August 7, 2020 at 9:27 pm

    I see 8 kingdoms instead of 7 !
    Is the riverlands doesnt count as a kingdom or something ?

  29. delorean237 on August 7, 2020 at 9:27 pm

    I still say it ended the exact way it should have

  30. Franklin Franklinson on August 7, 2020 at 9:30 pm

    Daenerys was destined for this. I saw it happening. Her dad crazy af, her brother crazy af. Wtf did you expect. She was a brat, and it was only a matter of time until she shed her childish bratty attitude and upgraded it with that special brand of crazy that her father gave her through genetic lineage.

  31. Ava Deng on August 7, 2020 at 9:30 pm

    when you realize the game of thrones ending was basically lord of the rings with lazy writing.

  32. 4 and a half fingers on August 7, 2020 at 9:32 pm

    To all of season 8. WTF

  33. Ben Robertson on August 7, 2020 at 9:32 pm

    You can hear his disgust hahaha

  34. Paw Zyl on August 7, 2020 at 9:34 pm

    මම කඩදාසි බර මුහුදට විසි කරන විට යමක් කීමට සිතුවෙමි ඔබට යමක් අමතක වුනාමම පීට්දුම් සුවඳ හරහා රිය පැදවීමේදී සෙල්ලම් කරමින් සිටියෙමි නමුත් එය සාමාන්‍ය දෙයක් ලෙස පෙනුණි අවසානයේ මම කිසිවක් කීවේ නැත

  37. Epicsandmore24 on August 7, 2020 at 9:35 pm

    "Like the previous raven used visions to lure a crippled boy to a cave of skulls and deleted his personality to make him into an avatar for the ancient hive mind of the old god$" had me crying

  38. Manu R on August 7, 2020 at 9:37 pm

    Bronn shouldn’t even be alive, just stop here… smfh

  39. Ujjwal Shrestha on August 7, 2020 at 9:38 pm

    Why he sounds like daario naharis …?

  40. Dominic Rivera on August 7, 2020 at 9:43 pm

    this is just lazy writing.

  41. Larkin Hancock on August 7, 2020 at 9:44 pm

    I hope Jon didn’t forgive Sansa for betraying him in the last episode. Jon became this big pawn in the last season and I hate it.

  42. l JK l on August 7, 2020 at 9:44 pm

    I still can’t rewatch GoT because of season 8. D&D raped it.

  43. DK on August 7, 2020 at 9:45 pm

    basically writers were drunk while writing the scripts.

  44. Jake Sangria on August 7, 2020 at 9:45 pm

    Khaleesi is literally just a progressive, she was angry for the push back from the other side and so wanted to punish them all. This is social justice At Its most pure form

  45. MISAKIBeats on August 7, 2020 at 9:46 pm

    If you thought the last Episode made no sense…. well after watching this it makes even less sense, what happened to the writers?

  46. Chung Boon Jin on August 7, 2020 at 9:47 pm

    Kingsguard are forbidden from owning land, taking wives, or fathering children, but not vows of chastity. And since the Wheel had been broken, rules must have changed as well.

  47. Jan Naglič on August 7, 2020 at 9:47 pm

    So s8 was total trash but this video makes it sem like one of the best things ever… i fuckin love this channel.

  48. Francesca Patti on August 7, 2020 at 9:49 pm

    I do hope that Sansa gets some power in the books too. But not by then having her say that she is glad that she was abused and shit, but by framing it as her taking all that abuse and manipulation and using the lessons she learned to be a confident leader who does not make the mistakes that got her brother Rob, her cousin Jon or her father killed. She’ll be a bit more ruthless because she’s seen that honor destroys men, following one’s heart destroys men. There is only the ladder in the end.

  49. Randy McMullen on August 7, 2020 at 9:49 pm

    “Pod the Rod!” Too funny! The whores would riot in the streets if he turned celibate!
