The complete reversal of character development is what killed it for me as well. With the same ending and removing the reversal the ending is 100x better. Just let their growth mean something instead of pissing it all away.
IMO, Game of Thrones is massively overrated (even without the terrible later seasons) and is just an excuse for a porn and gore fest. I put it in the same category as shows like The Boys.
If you like it, fair enough, you do you, but nothing about that show resonated with me in any way.
Game of Thrones in the early seasons had interesting intrigues and there were a lot of options for who could be the next king or queen. Plus it had a way of making you care about a character before they were killed off. Yes I’m still salty about Oberyn Martell.
Then the politics and intrigue became increasingly less important as it became Dany + allies vs Cersei + allies. Yes there were a lot of other issues in the later seasons such as the whole fast travel issue, but that was just the tip of the iceberg.
That’s what a sitcom is about, maintaining the status quo. That’s why at the end of every episode, the world reverts back to how it was before episode started.

I’m going to say something controversial:

My only exposure to GoT is from the reddit watchitfortheplot subreddit. You mean there was more to it then sex?
I was thinking of GoT when I wrote this. It’s similar, but GoT was so much worse.

That’s true but I didn’t care for new character at the end is the mom, let’s make you like her, then haha just go for Robin.
