Jamie's dyslexia finally allows him to fight with his left hand. We get a heroic montage of everyone spitting 'king slayer' at him until he finally kills the Night's King, becoming the king slayer. Myrcella does a nude scene, and eventually we see Jamie as the 1000th commander of the night's watch.

as i thought, none of you have anything intelligent to contribute yet you criticise the writers of the show who did their best

It was a logical conclusion to the plotlines but the people are naturalborn slaves who would have preferred the genocidal dragon girl to be le epic wise philosopher queen instead of sensibly dividing the power like it happened in real life

The negative backlash probably stems from the mediocre execution by the TV writers. I hope that fat fuck didn't get discouraged from finishing his magnum opus because normiecattle prefer their machiavelian power fantasy to sensibility

GRRM could have killed off both Dany AND Jon and people would be fine with it as long as it was while saving the world. they're the last Targs, put someone else on the throne (not Bran) to avoid an overly circular ending.

the issue is that the ending does stuff in a stupid way to make points that were already made well enough by the previous 7000 pages of grimdark medieval fantasy.

NK shouldn't even have been the ultimate bad.
in the book there is obviously a conspiracy to steal Dany's dragons going on and it ought to be whoever is behind all that.

the idea of the WWs being altered humans was lame too, them being a fantasy race who wants to kill humanity to avert their own extinction was easily ironic and subversive enough.

>>222805026
The whole point of the story is to not put someone else on the throne but to abolish the throne completely. You can't have a realistic show without coming to the realistic conclusion that hereditary monarchy is not the most ideal form of government.

"If men were angels, no government would be necessary"

this is a fantasy story, but even in reality you can't have proper democracy with medieval levels of literacy. the idea of elective monarchs wasn't remotely like democracy and didn't even work, as you'd think a history buff like GRRM would know.

my bet was always on Sansa x Willas Tyrell, but Willas got deleted in the show so I assume GRRM is just going to kill off an offscreen character after developing him for no reason.

>>222803968
It was all a daydream of Holdor while he as taking an energetic dump.

>>222805094
the problem with computer Bran being king is that the whole story was telling us that politics matters and that the King is a political position.

to end with a group of dorks going "uh so who's king then" like it doesn't even matter contradicted everything we'd been told about how Westeros politics works, including the justification for stabbing Dany (if the king doesn't need to be popular or beloved why is burning a city disqualifying cities being sacked is SOP in Westeros anyway).

>>222804429
The execution wasn't mediocre, it was abysmal.
Yeah, I agree, the overall plot might be interesting, but since the show started going downhill in season 5 in almost every department, becoming terrible in season 7 it just became incapable of delivering any nuanced ending with any impact.

>Follow the FUCKING BOOKS to their end
>Follow the most popular fan theories afterwards
It's not hard. Really.
Concerning the most important parts, jon kills nissa nissa aka daenerys in a blood ritual to defeat the night king, then voluntarily retires north of the wall. The iron throne is defunct, Rickon becomes king in the north.

>You can't have a realistic show without coming to the realistic conclusion that hereditary monarchy is not the most ideal form of government.
You cannot have a realistic show in the protrayed, medieval-ish society of westeros and have them decide on anything approaching democracy. At most, they could abolish the iron throne and become separate kingdoms again (all of which are hereditary monarchies.)

>>222805224
>jon kills nissa nissa aka daenerys in a blood ritual to defeat the night king

>>222805286
That's what the prophecy in the existing books suggests. Something about plunging a sword in her chest.

i accept your concession

>>222805384
you have Bran doing precog shit + controlling any remaining dragons and you have a conventional king and queen working as the political front.

Bran being the power behind the throne is fine, but him literally being king contradicts everything about what we have been told a king is. him getting "elected" (lol except the election is fake because he is totally in control especially if he can figure out how to warg Drogon) just made it more stupid.

>>222804440
they should have made them the King and Queen of Westeros. They had the best story.

>inb4 but he has no dick
neither does Bran and nobody cares

>>222805367
>only non-retards existed
Westeros is a deeply layered feudal society. It doesn't matter if the king or his top lords wanted to set up a democracy, they would be deserted by their bannermen if they tried, and by every law and custom of westeros, these would be in the right. As I said before, you might imagine them abolishing the iron throne. Make it elective maybe (by the rulers of the 7 kingdoms, not the people). There are medieval precedents for that. Setting up an actual nonfeudal state is simply beyond their power.

>>222805417
we were told that Robert was popular and also an effective military leader.
it was strongly implied that dragons were necessary to hold the kingdoms together.
all stronger sources of legitimacy than whatever D&D were smoking.

>>222805456
did you even watch the show? they agreed that bran would be a good king but the real reason they wanted him to be a king was because he couldn't have any children so after his presumably wise reign they can transition away from monarchy

the whole point of the show is that yes while some kings are good there is always the chance that one of their children turns out of to be evil

jesus fucking christ how dense can you be to miss that?!

>>222805506
>but the real reason they wanted him to be a king was because he couldn't have any children so after his presumably wise reign they can transition away from monarchy
source?

>>222805489
yeah that's why they have a transitional period with a literal wizard as a king who can't have children and will spend his life trying to loosen up those feudal ties

have you even watched the final scene?

>>222805503
>>222805506

>>222805527
it's literally a scene from the show

>>222805489
in the medieval elective situation, the guy who got elected king would always be the one with the biggest army anyway, i.e. usually the same person who'd have been a conventional king. and then being king would stay in their family until they fucked up seriously.

GRRM apparently failing to understand that it worked like that is peak America-mind.

>>222805569
>it's literally a scene from the show
s o u r c e ?

>>222805539
I've watched the seasons that are good and their worldbuilding allows for nothing of the sort. If dumb&dumber tried to unmake that in the final episode then that's just another of their idiocies and I care nothing for it.

>>222805506
"transitioning away from monarchy" is LITERALLY not something anyone would consider as a serious option.

you may as well just say "transition into having a massive civil war" because that's what would happen.

kings exist because the alternative is the nobility fighting amoungst themselves.

>>222805583
yeah because they are still in the middle of their feuds and you are a normalfag who assumes something is good because everyone else is doing it

>>222805600

Simple. Sansa gets the Iron Throne because that was literally what was supposed to happen if we are going by the real-life English history that the story was based on originally. Sansa was the equivalent of Queen Elizabeth I.

>>222803968
i would have given it 4 or 5 more seasons to flesh out the ending a little better so the pacing wouldn't be so god awful, that would fix 80% of the problems people had with the ending. i think the long night should have been a whole season and the army of the dead should have made it to king's landing.

I don't believe that. I think that the folks at HBO wanted to shoehorn a narrative about how wonderful "democracy" is, so they decided to end the whole series with the beginning of parliamentary democracy faggotry. That is what made it anticlimactic. People watched a show with dragons, witches, knights, kings, and nobility as escapism. Instead, they got a lecture at the end of the series on how awesome "democracy" is after the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis taught everyone that democracy is a joke because the banks are always in charge.
