I don’t think it’s that complicated, the movie just need to be decent and it unfortunately wasn’t. Thor in Ragnarok was also comedic but that film just did a better job of balancing humor and cool moments like everyone remembers the Immigrant Song finale, the Hulk fight, hell even the brief Dr Strange interlude was incredibly clever vs L&T didn’t have anything memorable in the latter category.
If anything I think it shows how difficult it is to make Thor work in an Earth-centric story and maybe just the earth characters not being that interesting lol. Everyone’s given that a go and it just hasn’t really worked for anyone.. the consensus best Thor’s are ones where he spends 99% of his time in space interacting with other wacky space people like the Grandmaster or Guardians. Even in this one most people seem to think the Zeus bit was the best part.
I'm skipping this one because I am not a fan of Natalie Portman's Jane. If anything, Ragnarok was fresh because it didn't have Jane to annoy us for half of the movie with her constant whining.

heard isn't that great an actress. Recast with Blake lively or something. Dont think WB cares either way.
Heck, I'd recast with Emelia Clarke. Both she and Jason already have great chemistry and love working with eachother, so why not????

so now it is delayed D+ TV series with fewer episodes, or they are going back for movie?? hmm
I am in! if they can do a MOVIE
but as I love The Mandaloriam I will be happy with series too
MarekI'm not sure what is going on. Maybe they aren't getting the box office results they were hoping for with this last Star Wars films and they are getting cold feet in moving forward with the Obi Wan show.

Disney Star Wars and production issues - name a more iconic duo
Well, Marvel for the most part is doing pretty good under the Disney banner, so whatever the problem is, it's coming from the Star Wars unit. Hate to say it, but the fingers keep pointing to Kathleen Kennedy. She may be a good producer, but she seems to be terrible at managing an entire studio. I'm curious if they are just letting the show sit back for a while till her contract is up (as well as Bob Iger's) and then they will let production resume when new people are brought in. Rumors are that Favreau is in talks with taking over, and at the moment, I won't reject the idea.

So... How many susbscribers is HBO gonna lose the next couple of weeks?
Funny you say that. I have never, ever subscribe to HBO until when GOT season 7 came, and as soon as it was done, I cancelled. And then I did it again this season, and actually put in my cancellation back on Monday. HBO execs are the real ones who fucked up. I see the one president of HBO making some lame excuse that he didn't want to botch up Benioff and Weiss's vision, but come on, your job isn't to protect shitty writers. Your job is to keep the subscribers happy, and you failed at your job, miserably. I'm surprised Time Warner hasn't fired him yet because he is pretty much pissing away potential major money makers. Already shot down the Arya spinoff. Seriously, if I was Time Warner, I would be like, bye bitch, be gone with ya!

57% on RT right now. Up from the bells, but the 3rd consecutive (and 4th ever) rotten episode.
Audience score for the season overall is getting really bad.
Oh well,, that will teach HBO to be more hands on with their expensive shows. How much money did they dish out per episode?

so the issue is that what stops there from being another war when King Bran dies as there is no clear successor
Nothing. In fact, once news travels to the free cities about the weakened state Westeros is in, not to mention those in Mereen will be pissed that Dany was killed, what's stopping a war from happening on Bran's watch?

So Jon is now King of the North North?
Btw, fucking Bran planned this whole thing. Totally set up Jon and used him to get rid of his main rivals.
Not Bran, the Three Eyed Raven. Bran pretty much died once he became the 3ER, because Bran would never do that.

I know nothing about this show. Never watched an episode. But my timeline is telling me how awful this season and season finale has been. So when I watch it, I’m just gonna not watch this season and end it with the season before
Yep. I heard the same things about Dexter. It's good till the season with Julia Stiles in it. So, I did watch up until the season she is introduced, and I stopped watching.

nothing, don't watch past season 6 if you love seasons 1 and 2.
If you like spectacle, go ahead and watch season 7.
If you care about your brain cells, avoid season 8 at all costs.
To be honest, I did enjoy the hell out of everything to do with the Brotherhood without Banners. So season 7 wasn't totally lost. And Hound and Tormund were a delight to watch.

Come on not single shot of what dragon and Danny ended up...
Wtf...
Fuck dumb and dumber..
I'm starting to think maybe they didn't like writing her character either, but she was not a side character like Stannis and Barristan Selmy, so they couldn't just kill her off once they ran out of material.

Thank you guys for teaching me a valuable lesson. To not get into a serial TV show until it's finally done with and I have a good idea that the show went out on a high note, so I don't waste my time.
Of course, I will give some exceptions. Like Stranger Things, but I think it's more the 80's nostalgia more than anything. But again, thank you for helping me relearn my lesson. You would think after Heroes, The Walking Dead and Once Upon a Time I would have been more wary.

it was announced seasons 7 and 8 of GOT would be shorter literally two years before they were hired to do star wars. incredible foresight on their parts.
Or they knew something that we don't, like maybe behind closed doors, they were offered the project by Disney and it's just getting out now. You don't think it's odd that Disney has hired two of GOT major actors into some of their franchises. Clarke in that Solo movie, and Dinklage in Infinity War. There is a lot of backstabbing going on among studios too. I remember Joss Whedon being let go from Marvel, and now he's part of DC, Marvel's direct competitor. Disney also had James Gunn fired and he went on to DC as well, and now they are hiring him back because no one wants to take up the GOTG sequel. There is a lot of stuff going behind the scenes we don't know about until years later. I also find it interesting that the parent company that owns HBO also had the last of the rights of HULU and somehow DIsney got them to sign over the rest of Hulu to them. Why is it that whatever Disney wants, they get, with hardly no fights or counter offers from other competitors?

Nope. HBO knows this is their golden goose and the very reason why people suscribe to their channel package in the first place, they would have been glad to make this a 15 season show if they could, hence all this talk of spin-off shows.
Also I highly doubt popularity would die down, Game Of Thrones is the only television series that never dropped in average viewership in the ratings, every season got bigger than the last, this one being the biggest yet.
The fault of all of this disaster is solely on D&D and no one else. They got tired of the project, they wanted to take a shortcut and make less episodes and be done with it so that they can move on to something else (Star Wars). You can tell from the "Inside The Episode" videos that these guys really want to get out of Game Of Thrones and judging from the quality of season 8, it shows.
They should have gotten another showrunner after season 6 that is just as passionate for the material as D&D initally where when the series started and make 4 more seasons to end the story without the rushing. Shows change showrunners all the time so it's not a wild idea.
If D&D can't handle a behemoth like GOT all the way to the end, what makes me think that they won't drop the ball at the third Star Wars movie they make?
I keep reading stuff on how GRRM actually personally helped write the scripts for the first few seasons, but then he stopped around season 5. People were thinking he was going back to finish up the books, but then I see interviews with him where he says he doesn't follow the main show anymore, but he has been helping HBO out with the "successors". So, could HBO have been contractually obligated to keep Benioff and Weiss for the Game of Thrones, but these new successors are their back up plans in case these two guys indeed try to sink a champion ship? Does anyone know of these rumors or what they think of these new shows and why GRRM chose to help these projects out instead of the main course?

Curious to see if this still wins the Drama Emmy this year since the backlash has become too big to ignore. Though it really doesn't have much in the way of competition so it wouldn't surprise me if they went "here's your last reward, now be gone" anyway.
I was gonna say, what else is it competing against? I turn on the tube, and all I see is either heartless remakes, shows like NCIS and L&O, or reality TV as far as the eye can see.

I think theres two major reasons:
1) The Dorne section. Dorne is one of the best and interesting parts of the book and the sand snakes in particular are not annoying, but - just very interesting. The Lord of Dorne is also not a naive idiot, but one of the best players in the Game of Thrones. The show featured such a bastardized version of Dorne and Seasons 5 and 6 suffered from that. Thats of course only a major complaint if you have read the books.
2) The logic. Season 5 showed glimpses of that, but in Season 6 we really start to have logical errors and teleportation issues. The geography matters less and less and the Arya plot in particular is just nonsensical (i mean remember those stab wounds? And that she just wandered around in Bravos, despite fully knowing that the Waif was after her? Just stupid and bad writing.)
But Season 5 and 6 in particular more than make up for that with very strong character moments and some really great storyarc-conclusions. And no i dont mean Stannis by that (another character the show butchered), but Sansa, Ramsay, Daenarys and Jon. Battle of the Bastards and The Winds of Winter are perfect television and with the last 2 episodes beeing the best, Season 6 just had such a great send-off.
The only plot I didn't like was all the drama between Arya and the Waif. I would have been more than happy to know she went there to train just like she was training with Serio Forel, and it could have been either when she see Meryn Trant and kills him, that Jaqen H'gar kicks her out, or he gets a visit from one of the red priests that it's time for Arya to go home for the great war.

The majority of that sounds much worse than what we're getting imo, minus Jaime/Tyrion killing Cersei.
Uh, I don't think so!

Honestly, if Danny had accepted the surrender and they all lived happily ever after, people would be crying "fan service".
Uh, I was honestly expecting the Long Night to truly be final fight, the battle of the Seven Kingdoms against the White Walkers. I also was expecting one of Cersei's younger brothers killing her, either to stop her from doing some crazy shit, or Arya with one of their faces, or my personal favorite, Jaime is now a wight, and Cersei doesn't realize it until he finally goes after and kills her.
I was expecting Jon sacrificing himself for the greater good, and Dany dying on the birthing bed with maybe Sansa raising the heir of the Seven Kingdoms.
I was expecting Arya to take a killing blow, but Sandor gives her the kiss of life and brings her back like Beric was going to do in the books with Lady Stoneheart. I just can't see Sandor being brought back just to kill his brother. I felt he was here for a higher purpose. Something to do with the Red Priests or taking on Thoros role.
What we got, was a total let down with pretty much every character ruined.

Its all about execution.
Take this:
Some russian guys kill a dog. The owner gets mad and kills the russians.
Sounds kinda funny and ridiculous, doesnt it? Well, John Wick is still a great movie.
Knowing what will happen isnt enough. Its not more than the most basic groundwork. What you do with these things is the important part.
I agree. My favorite part of this show was back in season 3 and 4, when Arya and the Hound were on their little journey. It wasn't the fights that made it so endearing, it was the small talk. When I seen that they were going to get paired up again on their journey to Kings Landing I thought we would get some nice dialogue between the two, but nothing. Seriously, if these guys didn't want to do the show, why didn't they just bow out and let someone else take over. I'm sure there are plenty people out there that would love to take a crack at this.

Rewatches for this show are gonna be interesting. Endings either enhance the journey or make it pointless.
You got that right.
Jaime- spent a good chunk of the series trying to slowly redeem himself, and with the knowledge from the books that Cersei would die from being strangled by her younger brother, I was looking forward to her finally getting killed by the very guy she had been belittle and insulting the whole time. When he finds out she was screwing Euron, that should have been the last straw and he end it there, instead of what we got. Now, when I watch the series, I simply do not care about him at all, because all the character development was for nothing.
The Hound. So, you mean to tell me that the Lord of Light brought him back just to kill his zombie brother, who was dead in the books a long time ago? Seriously, the way he was falling in with the brotherhood without banners, I'd figure he would turn a new leaf and start a path becoming a red priestess. I know everyone was excited about this Clegane Bowl, but, I was being led to believe he would be something more.
Tyrion. WTF? Varys saves his life, plans on introducing him to Queen Daenerys and be given a second chance at life to undo all the bad his Lannister family has caused Westeros, only to throw the man under a bus (even though it was Tyrion who told him about Jon's true parentage to begin with). Then, same episode, he betrays Dany by freeing his brother.
Arya. WTF? Why in the hell was she here to begin with? I bet she had more scenes than anyone else in this episode, and it was all for nothing. She should have just stayed in Winterfell and marry Gendry, that way we can finally have Jon Snow do something great for once in this entire season.

If this helps.
Don't forget the group that chased after Sansa and tried to gang rape her.
Honestly, I can understand why she snapped. She lost nearly everything important to her to avoid hurting these innocent people, and in the end, nobody cared. Instead, they just loved Jon Snow, or Sansa or Arya. I also wonder if she was also just blazing through the city in hopes to kill Jon, because she will not give up the throne without a fight.

Jesus christ what a wonderful, absolutely mesmerizing goddamn fucking mess this episode was.
And I mean that both in the best and worst ways.
The directing, editing, cinematography... so awesome. This battle sequence is incredible! Season 8Episode 3 is like a student film compared to this. Rivals the best of war scenes I've seen. Shit's lit
As for the plot... This is the most popular TV show of all-time with characters known all over the world and they do THIS?!?!
LMAO
Jaime whose character' arc is more like a full circle than an arc.
Arya the Goddess of Death on a white horse.
Daenerys the genocidal maniac who killed a million people in cold blood on dragonback
Varys who joins Littlefinger in the "we had no idea what to do with schemers once the show became high-fantasy so we killed them off" category.
Jon "Hey are we the baddies??!" Snow
and, most importantly... #CleganeBowl2019 ends in a... DRAW?
I'm speechless.
Well, to be fair, Sandor had him several times, but for stupid plot reasons, Mountain is like a man made wight now, so all the stabbing wouldn't make a difference. Too bad Sandor wasn't given Heartsbane in the end. Maybe it could have been put to good use.
but as I love The Mandaloriam I will be happy with series too

But tickets are twice as much now, so is it really something to brag about? Tickets in my area start at 15 for seniors and children and 18 for adults now. Imax is $24 for an adult. It's getting ridiculous.
