If only because the general writing quality of the show has long had some strange characterisation and cut corners along the way to a fault, so for people to handwave that for years only to be annoyed with the final season doing similar seems to be too little too late

i agree theyre getting a ton of overhate, and its mostly from book fans who would be unhappy at any deviation or super nerds who are unhappy that theyre theories arent coming true

its tough when GoT isnt their own creation and GRRM isnt even sure where to take go with it

however they are definitely liable for rushing S8, and bringing it to an end so quickly for whatever reason

When people see final season/ending to a big TV series, they expect Magnum Opus. Not whatever the hell is going with this show.

First season and last seasons are always held to a higher demand by fans.

A lot of fans (especially female fans) are upset that their idol Dany has turned bad. The "yas queen slay" movement got a little too deeply invested in her.

Idk I think a lot of the recent season vitriol is from totally normal, casual show watchers rather than those two groups although I agree the latter has been louder this year also.

Maybe im biased cos I have disliked the show for a while on the basis of the former

people listing off problems itt are missing the point. yes, there are myriad problems with the pacing and characterisations...but these have existed in some form since s1. to handwave these up until now seems silly.

Idk I think there's a decent amount of people who think similar and I think there's an attractive body of reasoning to support it. that said, I feel like a lot of people online who are otherwise extremely granular in their criticisms of media are/were really happy to just go with the madness when it came to got lol

Well it was always called the Mad Queen theory for a reason.
