The criticism for this season has been entirely that D&D rushed this and guess who else shares that opinion? HBO and George RR Martin. Both HBO executives and George have been open on the fact that they tried to get Benioff and Weiss to do more seasons but they didn’t want to. Granted HBO motivation was milking the cow but George openly stated that his endgame can’t be properly told in 1.5 seasons. So to act like criticism of how GOT ended is just disrespectful butthurt nerds online is disingenuous
Pretty much this. I think Kit and Sophie are confusing being mad at the entire crew with just being mad at D&D. The cinematography and performances were, as always, great, but the scripts were objectively rushed. Even just a new set of scripts written and made public without ever actually filming them, I think, would satisfy most people that are mad.
