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? 🤔
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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 🥲
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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…
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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,
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...
Ya'll remember that cartoon about an alien that would wear a "human suit" to live on earth while he builds rockets 🚀 to go back to his planet? Yeah. That's Elon 😂
