...until the final season utterly obliterated it from the global consciousness.

It's really crazy how that works. Literally nobody talks about it anymore. It just came and left in a hurry.

Fair weather fandom. It's not uncommon. People buy into the sensationalism of something but have no respect for the source material.

I dunno. I think Breaking Bad had a much more amicable (not really the word I'm looking for but whatever lol) ending but people don't really talk about that anymore unless someone posts that they're a first time viewer and then a bunch of people jump in and reminisce.

What is there to really talk about with a show like that once it's finished airing?

This doesn't even make sense as an argument about the last season of Game of Thrones.

People still talk about Breaking Bad and a spinoff movie for it was released last year and Better Call Saul season 5 might be the best one yet. If anything BrBa's legacy has only grown while GoT's has weakened.

Plenty of shows are viewed as classics and go down in history as great television (The Wire, The Sopranos, Mad Men, and Breaking Bad) but Game of Thrones's legacy is forever tarnished.

anyone who thinks only the last season was bad was a fucking casual anyway. it started slipping way back in season 4, and the rate of decline got bigger and bigger each season.
There was always so much lore and unanswered questions that everyone was willing to forgive the bad parts of show in hopes for a great payoff. When we got to season 8 we realized that wasn't happening.

Worse. That every single bit of character progression you see will get tossed to the wind and reverted.
