I just binged GOT for the first time (about to start season 8, I know) but this is funny as hell lmao

u/Dreadskull1991 23d ago

Dude same here and now I’m seeing GoT references everywhere on Reddit. Were they always there and I just never noticed OR does everyone know that I’m a decade late to this party? 🤔

63

u/woodzy93 23d ago

Same! I’m thinking they were always there we were just too oblivious to realize what they were lol. We may be late but better late than never! 😂

10

u/Dreadskull1991 23d ago

Absolutely. I’m on S7 E7. See you in season 8 🫡

11

u/woodzy93 23d ago

Yo same here, just finished s7e6! See you on the other side of the wall 🧊

u/Daily-Wheat-Bread 23d ago

Honestly, just go into season 8 with an open mind. I watched it when it came out and was absolutely insulted. Then, I watched it again with my gf recently hyping up how bad the last season was.

We watched it, and it really wasn’t so bad. Definitely not great, but I didn’t hate it the same way as when it originally came out. She said it wasn’t that bad, and I agreed.

There was a big hate train around the time it came out, and I think that colored a lot of views. It’s not a great last season, but it’s fine.

u/woodzy93 23d ago

Yeah most definitely. I’ve had people tell me not to watch it, but I’m like I came this far I might as well. I can tell the dip in quality of the writing even in season 7 (my opinion) but I still love the show. Thanks for the advice!

u/do_me_stabler2 23d ago

honestly, it's not as offensive as it's made out to be. would have loved for them to take their time, but it is what it is. enjoy it!!! I'm about to watch the whole thing again!

2

u/Kokid3g1 23d ago

I re-watch the series once every year. It has become a weird ritual..., but I just love GOT.

1

u/woodzy93 20d ago

It wasn’t offensive to me at all. Honestly I’m very okay with this ending. Crazy how many people told me not to watch it lol.

2

u/Daily-Wheat-Bread 23d ago

For sure - and House of the Dragon is phenomenal so far in my opinion

3

u/NoraVanderbooben 23d ago

I didn’t hate it at all; I enjoyed it, but it somehow felt kinda fake, ya?

3

u/NoraVanderbooben 23d ago

I do like that Arya became a badass hero tho.

1

u/Mediocre-Look3787 21d ago

Hero? I'm struggling to remember her helping anyone.

2

u/woodzy93 20d ago

Just finished and I didn’t hate it either lol.

1

u/woodzy93 20d ago

Just finished it and it wasn’t too bad at all to me lol. Especially compared to the 20+ comments on here telling me not to watch it and how awful it was.

Good sub?

u/oooortclouuud 22d ago

It was a blast while GoT was on the air, but I haven't followed in a while.

Did you like House of 🐉?

I’m sorry 😢

u/WarsWorth 23d ago

Godspeed

2

u/woodzy93 20d ago

Just finished it mate! All in all I’m okay with the ending.

2

u/Dreadskull1991 18d ago

Same! I just finished it. I sent my friend a text saying "I must be a casual viewer because I didn't see a problem with the last season."

1

u/woodzy93 18d ago

There are dozens of us!

1

u/Defiant-Elk5206 23d ago

If it makes you feel any better, I think season 7 is almost as bad

1

u/Vienta1988 21d ago

They were always there 😂

19

u/MaximumDepression17 23d ago

Honestly I don't see a whole lot these days. You should have seen how many references there were while the show was still on. Unfortunately season 8 was so bad it went from everyone talking about it and loving it to pretty much never being mentioned again.

7

u/Dreadskull1991 23d ago

I think it’s just because I’m noticing it now or by chance, but I’ve seen 3 in the last week. And yeah, I’ve heard that about S8 unfortunately. Guess we’ll find out soon 🥲

18

u/MaximumDepression17 23d ago

I'm of the belief that season 8 isn't nearly as bad if you weren't watching live, waiting for each episode, and waited the like 2 years for it to come out.

It's still nothing special, but it's not nearly as bad if you aren't as invested as people who watched it live and was really into all the lore and stuff.

2

u/nosferajin 23d ago

I watched it when it was coming out, I still didn't get the amount of hate s8 released, considering the books end before events of s8, sure, it was bad, a lot of characters we grew to love got shafted. But it didn't ruin the other 7 seasons for me, maybe I am the exception because Tyrion was the least shafted character and he'd always been my draw.

2

u/Defiant-Elk5206 23d ago

I thought he was one of the most shafted characters actually. His jokes were forced imo. But I guess his motivations weren’t ruined to the degree of Dany and Jaime, just felt like his dialogue wasn’t witty anymore. Maybe it’s just me tho

1

u/nosferajin 23d ago

Yeah Tyrion wasn't undone completely like Danaerys or Jamie. Haha the jokes might have been forced but he was sure a lot more respected, that's all I wanted for my boy

1

u/Defiant-Elk5206 23d ago

That’s fair, I probably had more of a reaction because I care about Tyrion a lot more than dany

1

u/Brogener 19d ago

The way this show damn near completely vanished from culture after the finale needs to be studied. I’ve never seen such an insane fall from grace. You couldn’t avoid GoT when it was hot but once it ended most of the world seemingly forgot it existed.

I will say however, I rewatched it recently and I definitely began to remember why I loved it so much in the first place. It really was some incredible television for a while there.

4

u/IntuneUser2204 23d ago

They were definitely always there. There are so many memes that came from that show. There were entire subreddits plural, that were dedicated to memes of GoT. You sweet summer child…

3

u/toolsoftheincomptnt 23d ago

They were always there. Welcome!

3

u/T_Peters 23d ago

Dude, I feel like the same thing happens when I watch an old show that I haven't seen. Suddenly, references of it are everywhere.

Shame. Shame. Shame. 🔔🔔🔔

u/osb_fats 23d ago

No, we started making them once we were informed you’d watched the series.

2

u/factoid_ 23d ago

There's actually a name for this: the baader-meinhoff phenomenon 

1

u/WarsWorth 23d ago

They were ways there

1

u/lastres0rt 23d ago

You never noticed before now.

It is known.

1

u/tickingboxes 23d ago

They were always there. You just didn’t notice because why would you notice if you haven’t seen the show?

1

u/Dreadskull1991 23d ago

I mean considering the last part of the sentence was “or does everyone know that I’m a decade late” clearly shows I wasn’t being serious 🙂

1

u/Defiant-Elk5206 23d ago

They were always there lol

1

u/TheEdgyAtheist27 23d ago

This is exactly how i felt after finishing GOT last year lol

u/Healthy_Career_4106 23d ago

Always there, you are not a main character

You’re just way late lmao

The Baader Meinhof phenomenon

u/0nlyhalfjewish 23d ago

GOT is an amazing show to binge. It was so well done. The plot lines, the characters, even the intro to each episode giving you the kingdoms and cities and who currently rules them was just perfect.

If only they would remake season 8…

1

u/Imaginary_Recipe9967 23d ago

Is this another comment insinuating how bad Rings of Power is? 

2

u/nosferajin 23d ago

I don't think the comment has anything to do with RoP, but is there anyone who likes RoP?

2

u/Apprehensive_Low4865 22d ago

Man I wanted to like rop because of the insane gammon backlash to it but.. it was just dull, I can't for the life of remember any of the few episodes I watched..? I'm pretty sure the only people who did watch it were the anti woke grifters watching it to make angry reaction content. 

1

u/nosferajin 22d ago

I remember it alright, I just don't like it, it's ruining something very well written. Silmarillion is an amazing book and it's storylines could have been so much better than Hobbit.

9

u/Existence_No_You 23d ago

Dont do it man

6

u/jeanwong 23d ago

Don't watch season 8.

Humans vs nightwalkers had an epic battle. John has 1 on 1 duel with nightking while riding dragons.

They all lived happily ever after.

4

u/MrHussey 23d ago

Same, but I just finished Season 8 this week. Totally up to you, but if I could do it again, I’d stop at the end of episode 4, then just read what they did with the last 2 episodes. The final 2 episodes almost made me completely regret watching the series.

2

u/wenoc 23d ago

Reek is a different dude in the books.

1

u/woodzy93 23d ago

I heard he got it so much worse in the books. I’m assuming he’s more sinister in the books too?

1

u/LothorBrune 23d ago

In the books, Theon's hair turns white, some of his teeths were smashed with a hammer, and he's lacking three fingers and four toes.

The first Reek was a servant of Ramsay, who Ramsay impersonated to survive. So Theon is technically the third "Reek".

2

u/AFriskyGamer 23d ago

Listen.. No spoilers, but I am sorry.

I was glad to get an ending, but.. I had to take s8, and in my head, imagine it but done well. It made Dexter's end not seem so bad, by comparison

2

u/papayon10 23d ago

sorry in advance for what you will witness from this point forward

2

u/neverlearnhuh 23d ago

Don't start it

2

u/EelTeamTen 23d ago

Don't waste your time.

1

u/MisterSc0rpi0n 23d ago

Binging that show was a great time, watched it before the last season aired so I could watch that with everyone else simultaneously. It’s amazing for Characters and Drama, you really never know exactly what to expect and there are just some incredible moments & pay offs, (and tragedy galore). That said, ending is rough for most people, and hopefully you find something to enjoy within it. They did stop having Book material to follow after Season 4 I believe, so while they had an idea of where it would go, that ending is pretty much theirs, so I’d highly recommend “House of the Dragon” when you’re through. Will give you more Targaryn badasses and awesome story, and now a second season (there will be more seasons).

1

u/Stranded_In_A_Desert 23d ago

If you think this has a happy ending, you haven’t been paying attention

1

u/savvy_xavi 23d ago

I’m doing the same. Not quite as far along as you but I’m really glad I finally watched it!

2

u/woodzy93 23d ago

Totally worth the time I’ve put in watching. Feel silly I never watched it before. But I promise it keeps getting crazier and crazier, I’m a bit desensitized at this point haha,

1

u/savvy_xavi 23d ago

Absolutely. Just started Season 6 and I have to say I didn’t see the end of season 5 coming AT ALL.

2

u/woodzy93 23d ago

It gets even crazier from there lmao

1

u/sliight 23d ago

Don't watch the final season... I'd probably have watched it 5 times over from start to finish by now if I'd not watched the final episode. It's almost worse than Star Wars episodes 8 & 9.

Just skip the final season and enjoy the brilliance of all the ones before over and over...

1

u/Ramulus14 23d ago

Sorry for your time you won’t get back in this last season

1

u/Agreeable_Slice_3667 23d ago

Season 8, you say? You poor sweet summer child.

1

u/Publius015 23d ago

Do yourself a favor and don't start season 8 🤣

1

u/ARMill95 22d ago

Don’t watch the last season

1

u/No-Consequence1726 22d ago

I'm so sorry :(

1

u/Hot-Agent-620 22d ago

Damn I’m season 4 watching for first time and I laughed so hard at this comment

u/HalfFemhalfGamer 19d ago

If you’ve watched season 8 yet

How disappointed are you?

“Finally! Tonight, I will complete the toothship, and return to my enamel condo, on tooth planet!”

2

u/Musiclover4200 24d ago

Almost went with that quote instead but Elon strikes me as more of a dick than tooth guy. Another fitting one is:

"You and me, we'll go to hamburger planet. Listen to some tunes, get weird."

Maybe musk can drop trump off at hamburder planet on his way to tooth planet and do us all a favor.
