1. Bad Consideration on Plot and Mystery Revelation
it is understandable that a very long and
beloved series is exhausted for everybody behind, but it doesn’t suppose to be
reasons to produce only 6 episodes, considering there are too much mystery to
reveal. The creators have supplied fans’ mind many secrets, motivation, and
rich characters’ personality, it would be unsatisfied revealing all of it, one
by one, within only 2 episodes as opening feeds before the penultimate episode.
7 seasons is not equals with 2 episodes. Besides, there are still remaining
characters left behind without any hints that they will appear back again, such
as Elaria Martel, Daario Nahaaris, and Illyrio Mopatis. All of these three
were playing important role to bring the three focused characters to the
present condition. Hiding or forgetting them show the lack of writing.
2. Postponing for Nothing but Unsatisfactory
.
In 2017, the fans were surprised and left
miserable after hearing that the show will not be presented that year due to
production difficulties. And the D&D turned off the craziness by saying
they need much time for special effects regarding many mythical creatures
(dragon, giants, wolf, raven, and zombies), leaving the fans became patient
waiting for the best cinematic art. Eventually the truth serves the opposite,
except for the dragon. But where are all the remaining wolves? Ghost appeared
since the first episode literally as ghost, where the human character did not
sense its appearance properly, Ghost’s physical appearance almost look like
background effect, and its interaction to any other characters were boring.
The giant was only one, while there are three of them.
3.The Death Scene are Boring to Maximum.
Many of fans fell in love to this show
after finding entertainment to its death scenes which savage, gory, and
unusually surprising. They loved its randomness and cruelty, representing the
power in real life. In fact, most death scene has turned to be Shakespearean,
romantic but killing the show’s appeal at the same time. Especially to the
death of Lannister twin. Many comments mock it that with many weapon and
possible choices to kill them, the writers chose old bricks. Meanwhile, the
remaining characters are all powerful and having each personal style to kill
them, especially the beloved Westeros’ assassin, Arya Stark.
4Poor Fighting Choreography
Nothing to expect in this final season but
epic battles, grouping or single one. In the War of Winterfell, where the
watchers could not barely see the entire frame, they presented great warriors,
but the level of fighting skill was under Game of Thrones’ standard, still not
sure to call them epic. The beloved Arya Stark only spend seconds sweeping the
wights using dragon-glassed spear with poor choreography. The fans need more
moves. Also Gendry Baratheon, the fans expected him fighting brutally with that
majestic hammer during the battle.
The Writers Seem has Forgot the Characters’
Persona
We can only see stupidity, confuse, and
fear in most of the characters. Ser Davos as the one who was always successfully
convinced everyone, is barely a mute this season. Tyrion Lannister has lost his
sharp mind, analyzing Cersei’s war strategy. He forgot to anticipate the
scorpions, resulting another dragon death and stupid ambush that cost the
Dragon Queen’s madness. He is not a good advocate this time, only a
maudlin persuader. And the honorable Jon Snow has turned to
be the mindless lover boy, he has nothing to say to his queen, and nothing to
say to the army. He is more like a love slave this time. Otherwise, the
character twist upon Jaime Lannister, from an annoying unreliable knight to be Oathkeeper at first was warm, then suddenly he turned to be the previous
bastard by leaving Brienne of Tarth and rode back for Cersei after all of the
hatred and disappointment that changed him.
The most unsatisfied scene is the death of
Night’s King. The story started with terror by his army, terror of the death
that may cost human extinct, just like in the Lord of the Rings. This premise was
the main background story to keep the story on track, but when it is time to
face this terror in eyes wide open, it becomes stupid. The Night King’s
generals were useless and The Night King himself were not that terrifying and
powerful as the show feed us since 2011.
And the most stupid writing goes to Arya
Stark. This well-trained assassin was very convincing with many vatal kills she
committed, including act to answer the Azor Ahai. Comparing Arya Stark to the
other assassins, for example Ser Bronn, Electra, Black Widow, or Laura from
X-men universe, this assasin is the least skilled. She looks more like a spoiled
female with dagger and sword who likes to boast about killing and death. In “The
Bell”, Arya Stark lowered the assassin skill standards by joining The Hound,
asking nicely to enter King’s Landing and walking into it by the gate. D&D
has explained that they need Arya Stark to represent the fear of Mad Queen’s
fury by following her running around the city helpless. With all skills she has
earned, she is an helpless running assassin. That time, Arya Stark only looked
like a common poor, weak, and fearful Westerosi.
