Ghost_MH Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 This was WAY more if a happy ending than I was expecting. I think I would have been happier with Jon being eaten. Drogon melts the throne, Jon thinks he's safe, Drogon eats Jon. That would have been a lot more satisfying. Jon should die there, but again. He's the luckiest idiot in all the lands.

LazyPiranha Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Meh.  I didn't hate it, but boy does everyone involve just hastily gloss over a metric ton of shit to get there. In what world do the Dothraki and the Unsullied find that Jon murdered Dany and just... take him prisoner and wait for a bunch of foreign lords to make a call? Not five minutes earlier they were a war hungry group of conquerors and then they're just overly diplomatic chumps? Tyrion, you don't get to speak. Yes, I understand, but what I will actually do is keep talking and basically decide the king. Northern independence is accepted with a mild shrug, and the ironborn apparently do forgive rather readily.   Why is there still even a Night's Watch anyway? To protect the realm from the wildlings that don't want to live there anyway? Pretty nice of Tormund and co. to just fuck around for a couple of months in the off chance that Jon came back too.   That said, Drogon melting the throne is just chuckle worthy.

I could see him being killed in the heat of the moment. But if Greyworm thinks about it, Jon was king in the north. Killing him could start another war in Westeros and Drogon is MIA (useless to them without Dany anyways). I can’t remember Greyworm ever seeming dumb besides his mental break after Missandei was executed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStar189 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Is there anything I missed with Drogon taking away Dany's body? I guess that's the only question I have at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury33 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I enjoyed that ending a lot. In no way did I think it would be remotely possible for this show to end well but I think they pulled it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Lol at the bittersweet BS. Literally a good happy ending. At least for me. I have hated Dany since day one. Glad she is dead. The spoilers were totally right about everything. But there were spoilers that Jon and Tyrion both died and ones were they died. Glad they lived. Kinging Bran feels really off, and I disliked it, but it is way better in the show. Like, all the spoilers were right, but they sounded fucking awful. When it happened in the show, despite them being true, they were actually really great. The spoilers about this EP sounded way worse than they actually were. Like getting a shot. The idea of getting a shot is worse than actually getting one.  Ser Pod the Rod is great Jamie kinda got redeemed by Brienne in the end The North is ruled by the person I I would have preferred to win the Iron Throne Arya fucking off is fine Jon FINALLY pets the damn dog and returns home Bronn wins at life Sam wins at life Every character I wanted to die is dead... except for Grey the Wormless Very nice  I still think EP's 3 and 5 are dog shit. But this is a very nice rose that was planted on top of that pile of dog shit.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 @Bacon - there is absolutely nothing "bittersweet" about this ending at all. It's a straight-up happy ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I was taken aback by The Unsullied and The Dothraki jus holding Jon prisoner as well but I get that Grey Worm is a military commander and understood the ramifications of executing the former King in the North. I also didn't see Bran being named king but  Decent ending... I'd put it my "didn't quite stick the landing" list as far as series finales go. Is an "Arya Stark Pirate of the Seven Seas" show in development? I'd watch that... hell I'd settle for an RPG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dothraki could, theoretically, just choose a new leader that's their best fighter like any other day. Now that Dany told them they fulfilled their promise to get, I'm not sure how much they care about a leader dying. The Unsullied are weird, but they're also very mindful of the law, so I could see them having choice paralysis here.  The Night's Watch still being a thing is utter bullshit. It's also stupid there's even still a gate or that anyone would spend any effort rebuilding the gigantic wall that has a huge ass, army-sized hole in it.  Jon should have had his pecker chopped off and exiled north rather than go with the pretence of any Night's Watch BS.

Triage Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Well I guess I'm ok with the ending. Starks rule the world and they deserve it. Everyone got what they wanted. Jon finally pets Ghost so I guess all is good. I keep thinking about Jon but I guess it's what he wanted so that's enough of a closure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
