Fans Want ‘Game of Thrones’ Finale Redone, Over New Shows
The shadow of ‘Game of Thrones‘ Season 8 lingers big, and for many, the wounds from that finale is yet to heal. Social media lit up with mixed reactions, as fans debated whether the new shows were a genuine expansion or a diversion from addressing the much-maligned ending of the original series.
Fans are vocal about their desires. They believe the unresolved dissatisfaction with the original series’ finale, especially Arya Stark’s anticlimactic victory over the White Walkers and Bran Stark as the ruler of the 6 kingdoms, needs a redo.
While Martin’s new ventures promises fresh narratives and potentially some familiar faces, the call for redoing the finale persists. “We can get 7 more shows BUT WE CANT RE DO SEASON 8!!!” seems to be the unspoken sentiment echoed across fan forums.
‘Game of Thrones‘ and ‘House of the Dragon‘ are currently streaming on HBO Max.
