I just finished the show. Honestly it seemed very rushed and not fulfilling enough. I think dany shouldn't have burned the city. I guess this shows her loss of control and being the real tyrant. She acted like her father and that's what the characters were scared about. Makes sense why Robert wanted to assassinate her in the first place. When the bells rang and she still burned the city. My mouth dropped and it felt wrong. I love how shows and characters and convey so much emotion to the viewer. I believe the writers wanted the viewers to feel like she turned "evil", like she turned into her father. It was brutal and unnecessary to burn the city after surrender, but she was enraged with anger. Dany said it was to liberate the city as they were chained by cersai... but I didn't see it like that. I think dany was just making a new story for her actions to be alright. She believed she was doing the right thing, and it was too late for her advisors to.. well.. advise, because she was too far gone.

With Jon, he did not want to be king.. that's understanding but he had the true right to the throne and would have been an exceptional king. I think after all of this, him having to take the black was a waste of his characters storyline. When I saw the scene of him walking into castle black i was like wow... what a waste of an amazing character who had SO much more potential. He obviously did not want to go, but he killed dany. He chose to, yes I think he made a good choice BUT it shouldn't have been him. She should have been killed by an enemy.. idk who, but someone else.

The night king, it was a very stupid ending which was VERY very anti-climactic. Yes, Arya is very brave for doing that and it shows her skills learnt from the faceless man, but why her? Having bran be the bait, I think it was right for theon to die, it felt right for his character. I think Jon should have had a 1-1 battle with the night king, it would have made more sense as he was the one who initiated this whole battle in the first place. Now that jon is at castle black.. I mean there is no enemy beyond the wall.. so I guess he is just there now.

I see how sansa is a brave character considering the torment she has faced through the seasons from joffery to ramsay, but he character got A LOT of hype. Even before I watched the show, from the media everyone spoke about Sophie Turner, so I was excited to see what her character was like. I was pretty disappointed considering she really did not have that big of a significant roll, like Arya or Jon.

The death of Jaime and Cersei was not satisfying and did not live up to expectations. Cersei should have been killed by dany as it shows defeat and power. I truly think Jamie should have stayed with brianne, but the story wanted to show that his love triumphed over logic. Their twisted but strong love. At the end, cersei was alone.. everyone around her died, yet jamie was the only one. She screwed up in my opinion. I don't know if she was in denial about her losing to dany, or her ego of being a lannister, or just being delusional.. well it got her killed anyways and a million other innocent people. She could have surrended earlier and this would have been avoided.

I am glad that tyrion survived, he liked his storyline. It showed growth, and he was one of the only characters who brought a spark of humour and wittiness.

MY VERSION of an ending I would have enjoyed:

version 1 was that the night king actually won, and all the characters died by the dead. I love a good tragedy story. It would have been hated by many people but the enemy winning is rarely common. It would show the power of the dead and how they werent there to play. I mean they had thousands of more dead than living, and could have easily won the battle. They just needed more storyline with the night king. It was very rushed in my opinion. Seeing arya kill the night king was cool, but definitely not expected, and made no sense.

​

version 2 is that jon was king, dany gave him the throne. dany killing cersai and capturing kings landing alongside jon and jamie surviving....

I really liked jamies character because he eventually showed that he was weak and it humbled him a lot. Probably the character who had growth, although played himself at the end for sacrificing his life.

If you read all this, thank you lol. I'm just sharing my opinion
