This postmodern bullshit that āavoiding the expectedā and āshocking your audienceā is more important than writing a good and coherent narrative has to die in a fire because itās ruining storytelling.
Hmm, yes, this is exactly how I feel about Game of Thrones right now. The writers are being so lazy when it comes to season 8 and Iām just ready for it to end. Rhaegalās death was so unnecessary, brutal and just for shock value, Missandeiās death was so sad and tragic, and Daenerys is losing everything she loves. Iām so done with this show and the writers and what theyāre doing to my favorite characters. Jon being praised for riding a dragon and fighting in battle, things Daenerys has been doing since she birthed the dragons. Sansa being a complete bitcth towards Daenerys, which if it werenāt for her and her dragons, Winterfell would be a horde of corpses in the Night Kingās army heading for Kingās Landing. I sometimes wish Daenerys had stayed in Meereen, where people adored her, where she still had Jorah and her three dragons, wish she had never met Jon Snow, because he is ruining their relationship by telling his family about his true parentage, something she warned him would happen if he spoke the truth, and yet he did it anyway. The writers are being so careless, so lazy and Iām done with with it. This season is turning out so bad, Iām so disappointed and Iām just ready for it to end. Daenerys has lost everything, her children, her most trusted advisors are turning against her, her Khalasar, she lost her best friend, the man that has been with her since the beginning, and the man she loves. They are taking her down the Mad Queen route, and honestly, after everything sheās been through, Iām ready for her to set fire to Kingās Landing and burn it to the ground, something she should have done from the beginning when she had her Dothraki, the Unsullied, and her dragons. She shouldnāt have listened to Tyrion, should have never went to help Jon. She should have stayed in Meereen or went straight for Kingās Landing. The show is coming to an awful end, and I donāt even want to watch it anymore. This show is not what it used to be.
