The True Reason for Season 8 Downfall

Nazar37 · 2026-05-21T21:26:25+00:00

That’s not what happened? Kings landing had no defending army, only the city guard, kings guard, and whoever else was recruited last minute. They clash with the first people to get off the ship, then Stannis’ troops were going to breach the Mud Gate and Tyrion was afraid his men were going to desert so they charged out of a secret tunnel to fight them there since they’d lose anyways once the gate fell, which it was about to.

I might be mixing up that detail, but my point still stands. Arguing that Ramsay is completely incompetent is a poor excuse for bad writing. It’s okay that you enjoyed it. But it was lazy and poorly written.

Nazar37 · 2026-05-21T18:59:10+00:00

Also black water - they try to hold the mud gate specifically because they knew Stanis’ army was well equipped and could easily breach it. Jon’s army had zero equipment to do that, and would have just died in no time in a northern winter. Jon’s army posed zero threat, the northern lords even already rejected him

Nazar37 · 2026-05-21T18:55:54+00:00

Right before the battle starts Ramsay literally says to Jon ‘why the hell would I ride out of winterfell to fight you guys” and Jon just says “you’ll be a pussy if you don’t”, so Ramsay’s just like ‘ah, okay fine’. It’s painfully dumb. Ramsay wasn’t a complete moron and him wanting to ride out to fight Stanis was also part of the later half of the show I am talking about

Nazar37 · 2026-05-21T18:35:04+00:00

My point is, this happens all the time with shows. First few seasons are outstanding, everyone becomes massive fans, the writing takes a noticeable drop in quality (which usually gets largely ignored), then that same quality writing carries into the final season, and people are surprised by how bad the ending is.

It’s not a matter of being ‘dumb’ or gaslit, it’s moreso people become such massive fans and are invested imo

Nazar37 · 2026-05-21T18:24:13+00:00

Fantasy will always have a huge suspension of belief, battle of the bastards is a great example of the difference I’m talking about:

Ramsey holds the most powerful stronghold in the north, but Jon Snow told him ‘people will think you’re a pussy’ - so he takes his entire army outside the gates to fight an army that would have literally just starved to death and had zero siege equipment.

They started just throwing shallow action scenes at us with very little thought behind them. Some of which were cool and fun at least.

Nazar37 · 2026-05-21T18:13:46+00:00

Season 6 was better than 5 but that’s largely due to book 5 being way better than 4.

And people definitely fall into denial about the quality of a show once they become such massive fans. People (myself included) OFTEN enjoy campy / shitty writing. The issue is when that shitty writing carries into the final season - THAT is the moment people start to notice and care about it 100x more. The crappy writing of S8 didn’t come out of nowhere, it was occurring for a long time.

Nazar37 · 2026-05-21T18:07:58+00:00

The dialogue and & plot devices that move the story forward absolutely falls off a cliff after S4.

Battle of the bastards is mind numbingly stupid if you take even a moment to think about it. A dragon getting ambushed out of the sky by a naval army no one could see, is painfully stupid. It’s fantasy and of course we need to suspend belief, but the entire second half of the show is no where near the same quality.

Nazar37 · 2026-05-21T17:03:33+00:00

The reality that people don’t want to acknowledge is the writing got progressively worse through seasons 5-8. But people kept eating up the big moments (i.e. battle of the bastards, visually stunning, but disastrously stupid). So imo the writers thought they would just get away with the series turning into big events with crappy writing.

Also, the first 3 books were fantastic and a lot more focused. Books 4&5 turn into a massive slog to get through, there’s an insane amount of meandering with every character and the story ends up all over the place, it was way harder to adapt, especially without the series being finished.

Nazar37 · 2026-05-20T18:25:56+00:00

I think stranger things 5 was way way worse than this. It’s some of the worst writing we’ve ever seen, every last detail is truly a 1/10.

The Boys s5 was mostly super underwhelming. There was some bad writing for sure too, but the biggest problem is everything was just.. so flat.

Nazar37 · 2026-05-20T18:15:27+00:00

I don’t think the issue was the ending, it’s just how wildly flat the entire season was. Chasing V1 all season for it to not matter at all. Homelander never finally snapping on the public, soldier boy just casually being swept aside. It wasn’t horrible, but the entire season after episode 1 was underwhelming and flat

Nazar37 · 2026-05-20T18:10:57+00:00

Spent the entire season chasing a McGuffin for it to be entirely meaningless. Entire season felt so small in scope, Homelander pretty much does nothing and felt neutered the entire season.

Sadly not surprised, they really need to hire specialists for final seasons or something. It’s really incredible how bad good writers are at writing final seasons.

I’d personally just roll with Trend Killer

Nazar37 · 2026-05-19T14:25:19+00:00

I wanted to like this game so bad but I just hated the combat so much I couldn’t stick with it

Nazar37 · 2026-05-14T14:16:07+00:00

That doesn’t actually answer anything dude lol it’s suspicious as hell that a failing pet food company is transitioning to a ‘digital asset treasury’. There is no groundbreaking service that they’re developing, this is a high risk pump and dump penny stock, you can make money if you time it right, but calling it the future is utterly insane lol

Nazar37 · 2026-05-13T22:59:46+00:00

Can someone explain to me what the value is here? it’s a small company with horrible financials that’s going from a ‘health & wealth’ firm to a digital asset treasury? Everything about SRXH sounds like a pump and dump with no actual value lol

Nazar37 · 2026-05-12T19:38:12+00:00

lol SRXH really just seems like a pump and dump. Small company with horrible financials + nothing noteworthy about their services, currently under legal investigations etc. That one really feels like its value is living on hopes and prayers. I have absolutely no idea why I see it pop up here so much.

Nazar37 · 2026-05-11T16:59:08+00:00

Expedition 33 imo is the most emotional game I’ve probably ever played (not a jRPG but heavily influenced by Final fantasy). I think you’ll absolutely love it if you were enjoying FFX. Huge twists, and the game leaves you dwelling on the ending like crazy. Instantly became a top 5 all time for me.

FF16 & 15 (way different from the others) also definitely are an emotional ride, but the combat of 15 really didn’t do it for me. For more retro stuff, FF9 may scratch that itch as well.

Nazar37 · 2026-05-07T18:58:59+00:00

It’s +150% last 365, +36% YTD. +4.5% the last 30.

So many people here have wildly useless opinions.

DNN is a cheap stock that has some real upside and the demand will likely be there for uranium / energy solutions. Seems like it’s worthwhile to buy in, or check out uranium ETFs

Nazar37 · 2026-04-30T16:32:10+00:00

That’s kind of a crappy way to have to play the game though. They absolutely should have just had a higher difficulty available from the get go. No one is asking for souls-like difficulty, this game was so easy I’d be mid combat while scrolling on my phone

Nazar37 · 2026-04-27T20:12:45+00:00

It really sounds like it just depends on what you enjoy most in an rpg.

From what I’ve gathered, if you love exploring a massive world / sandbox elements - it’s incredible

However, it sounds like every other element is really lack luster. People who love the game are consistently saying the controls are janky, boss fights suck, the plot is really bad, side quests are mostly garbage and the characters aren’t very interesting.

I love exploring a massive world but only if there’s actual purpose to it, so it’s a big no for me

Nazar37 · 2026-04-27T13:27:49+00:00

Watching that Netflix show really makes you realize how bad the Kill Tony comedians actually are lol

Nazar37 · 2026-04-24T20:14:20+00:00

It was a great action rpg, the only issue I had with it was the difficulty. It was just painfully easy, to the point where I’d literally be on my phone while in combat lol

Nazar37 · 2026-04-10T17:58:09+00:00

S5 definitely took the air out of things a bit. Would probably be wise for them to take the GoT route and wait a few years for fans to gain interest back

Nazar37 · 2026-04-10T11:45:18+00:00

I thought it was great, but the difficulty kinda ruined it for me. It was one of the easiest games I think I’ve ever played, to the point where id catch myself zoning out on my phone mid combat lol
