So that means stop talking about it? Even the negative talk has vanished.

Breaking Bad ended 6 years ago. It's still relevant enough to inspire a spinoff movie and BCS's fifth season is coming in a couple months. Game of Thrones ended 6 months ago and there's only radio silence.

I kinda feel that too. It's a nihilistic ending. There's zero rewatch value now

When things end, they tend to simmer down. GoT kind of faded into the background like Lord of the Rings did when the movies ended. It's still something people love, but since it's over, there's not a whole hell of a lot to actively talk about. Theories have mostly been proven true or not true, plot twists have been revealed, we know who the king and/or queen is, we know who lived and who died...

It's still a legendarily successful and beloved series, but it's not on the cutting edge any longer.

I like Breaking Bad but I dont think its nearly as great as people act like it is. Game of Thrones definitely went to shit in the last season but I enjoyed the rest of the show more than I enjoyed Breaking Bad. I think Better Call Saul is better than Breaking Bad too

Yeah, I prefer to wait until they've ended to see it if amounted to anything. Moaning over stuff like Lost, Dexter and Walking Dead in their latter seasons has made me wary to get invested.

pop culture is moving faster than it ever has nowadays. basically everything goes by in the span of like a week

people were hyping up RDR2 as the greatest game of all time for years and it was released, talked about for a week or two and then everyone moved on. people suddenly cared about blizzards relation to hong kong and then forgot about how angry they were as suddenly as they had begun. people were about to fight to the death over death stranding being good or bad and then it was released and everyone shut up in the span of a week

theres so much entertainment anywhere that its impossible for people to stay plugged into it outside of very very specific things

Breaking Bad is good, but in the end it's still a crime drama, which have been done before many times--some of which have been equally good as Breaking Bad. Game of Thrones changed the landscape of television forever because what GOT achieved had never been done before.

GOT proved that it's possible to make A+ quality fantasy television.

Ya this. People are spoonfed what to care about even more now than ever.
Everything has become ephemeral. Here today gone tomorrow.
Right now it is, Okay Boomer...people have already backed off on the Okay Karen bullshit.

People like being told what to do more than one might think.

For 4 seasons then it started to shit the bed. As a whole product, BB is infinitely better from the cinematography to the characters imo.

They're still making movies out of it. When the Game of Thrones spinoffs hit, we'll see another wave of popularity. Probably not nearly what the original had, but enough to be a success.

I think The Walking Dead's biggest sin was killing Carl.

The whole Negan war dragged on a lot, with way too many filler plot lines for unpopular side characters, but the spoiler above is what sealed my personal decision to stop watching.

Don't worry, in a few years from now whenever more advanced media synthesis/manipulation is possible we'll be able to change and improve the ending & most likely the entire season 8 of GoT so it'll be better and live up to the hype.

Nobody talks about the thing your talking about that was trending on Twitter a week ago because they tweeted winter is coming? That's been talked to death since the ending in circlejerk of how much people want to blame d&d for grrm inability to finish the story or even write a single non prequel because he realized he fucked the ending?

And absolutely no one talked about it when d&d "dropped" star wars for netflix

Most fantasy authors pull this.

Not everyone is a Brooks or Jordan.

Most of them are Martin's and Rothfuss's.

It's not really a subtle joke. It's kind of a huge meme about the show, which is a testament to how GoT is still culturally relevant even among those who disliked the last season.

Jordan never finished his series. Sadly he died and the talented Brandon Sanderson finished for him. Who does do a good job completing his stories so far.
