Every David Benioff and D.B. Weiss Project That Has Been Scrapped Since ‘Game of Thrones’ Ended

The ‘Game of Thrones’ creators have had a tough time moving forward from the series.

>Rush the ending of Game of Thrones in order to get the jump on writing a new Star Wars movie

>Fuck up the ending of Game of Thrones so badly that, not only do you not get a new Star Wars movie, you have extreme difficulty getting any project at all

I, too, hope to someday achieve the levels of mediocre white man success where my show can lose in the writing, directing and most acting categories but still be named the Best Drama of the year just because it ended.

Actual footage of D&D skipping over all the character and plot development

i haven’t actually made an official post about the game of thrones finale, and i’m sure a lot of people have already said what i’m about to say. but i really just wanna get these words out. 

the idea to turn daenerys mad didn’t need another few episodes to happen. it was bad to begin with. to have your sexually, emotionally, and mentally abused young girl become a literal war criminal sends a terribly dark message. to also have that girl spend the last 6 years gaining power, liberating slaves and other oppressed people, learning how to rule and navigate politics, and THEN drive her insane due to a mysterious family curse that her nephew somehow doesn’t have sends an even worse message. the idea that a woman will inevitably be driven mad, no matter the hard work she’s done to separate herself from the stereotypical image of her family, and then to not also give the same treatment to a male in that family, is automatically sexist. it is even worse that they attempted to parallel cersei and daenerys are opposite types of women in power, and then had dany end up exactly the same. it is also very disgusting for abuse survivors to see a strong woman overcome her past, only to be vilified for doing exactly that. even after she lends her massive armies, dragons, and dragonglass to the northmen in a war she doesn’t have to fight and with no promise of help in return, she and her people are treated as outsiders, and furthermore, the black and brown people in her party are given nothing but racist looks and treatment. for those racist and xenophobic people to then win all the power they wanted with no ramifications ALSO reinforces the idea that that behavior is acceptable and rewardable.

all in all, i seriously think d&d pulled this idea out of their asses. it may have been one of grrm’s theories for the next two books, but they twisted it and made it the worst possible version of itself.

You know nothing D&D

Last night D.B Weiss and David Benioff showed us that it is possible to destroy years of a carefully crafted storyline in just one episode. After "The Long Night" I didn't think it could be possible to sink this ship further, but clearly, I was wrong.

Game of Thrones lack of plot coherency and inconsistencies started showing in season seven, the seams of the fabric coming lose in episode three of season eight and bursting wide open with last night’s episode, now every chamber in the titanic if flooding with water and there’s nothing they can do to save it.

What has been done to GOT characters has been an atrocity. I no longer know if I should feel angry or sad or just plainly disappointed, that the show I invested so many years in it’s going to be unsatisfying and filled with crappy plot holes just because its writers were too lazy to care.

Take for example Jamie Lannister’s redemption arc, now I feel personally attacked with this because Jamie was one of my favorites and I certainly believe he deserved a better ending. Why not having him killed at episode 3? Fighting for the living and dying the way he deserved, like a man with honor. No, instead you throw away his entire redemption and turn him into another spineless man who is unable to leave a toxic relationship behind. What was the point of him abandoning Cersei then? What was the point of his affair with Brienne? Truly, what was the point of everything he went through if, in the end, he was going to go back to the beginning, to Cersei’s side. Didn't D&D ever hear of character development?

And speaking of Cersei, what an awful way to say goodbye to the character that we have hated and loved for the last eight years. Don’t know about you but I wanted her to go with a bang. I’ve had a personal vendetta against that woman since the moment Ned Stark was beheaded in season one finale and it’s been a bitter pill to swallow to see her go away like this, unbeaten. She got everything in the end, dying in the arms of the only man she ever loved, in the only place she felt safe and still a queen, not a villain because now we have a new one. After every despicable thing she did, her ending is just ash in my mouth.

And now, let’s go with our great new villain. *sigh* Daenerys Targaryen fall to the dark side is something that has been hinted since earlier seasons, I believe it was in season five when I realized I wasn’t liking her that much anymore, but if the whole point of the show was to make her a villain at the end, they should have chosen a better way to do it! Yes, we saw hints of her growing power hungry but nothing more, and suddenly in the last couple of episodes her character makes a complete twist and goes all mad for no reason, you should have turned her into a better villain instead of just some mad woman who burns everything because she has lost the one she loves, half the characters in this show have lost the one they love! It’s completely unfair to Dany’s character to be so poorly written, I can’t even express how disappointed I am with D&D choice to take this road with her.

And the last straw? Jon Snow.

What is the point of Jon Snow at this moment? He became a spineless twat this season and has done absolutely nothing! He has no valid opinions, no judgment; he makes no choices and has spent the last two episodes trying to convince his lover that he doesn’t want her throne and that he actually loves her. Jon Snow, the man who abandoned Ygritte because his duty demanded it is now the one to stand beside a mad queen and watch Varys being burned alive. Where is the prince that was promised? Is he the one who is going to kill Dany or D&D are going to have Arya doing it just because her character is now more popular?

It is sad to think in Game of Thrones as the show that could have wonderful from start to finish, that could have been transcendental and that fell short in the end because its creators weren't able to understand its essence, to put an effort in its writing and make the ending spectacular.

I am honestly so disappointed and I don't think this feeling will go away soon, Game of thrones promised us to be different, to be more and in the end, it was nothing more than a good show with dragons in it.
