One thing I feel people fail to understand about thrones and GRR Martins work is that he loves ambiguity. He was a big fan of the softer more mysterious worlds and magics of Tolkein and Lovecraft. Martin is constantly dropping these sutle world building references to add a layer of ambient mystery. Look at asshai, and the lost city of yeen. The hightower, the wall. Valeria (valyria?) These are all things that hint at a much much larger more magical world but only comes in at a trickle. Not everything in Martins work serves as a plot device. Alot of it is just color. Now some of this didnt translate well from book to show especially as the show passed the books. The finale and show had its issues. I dont think this was one.
this is life, a man, goes to college, becomes a skilled neurosurgeon, tells a guy not to smoke near the hospital doors, gets punched, dies. That's his story, he studied all that time and never lived up to his potential, never saved as many lives as he could. (true story)
The goal at that point was to get revenge, which she did. Later, she killed the Night King. Once things were settled (and after she’d enjoyed time with her family) she left for many epic adventures.
She didn’t become supreme ruler but that wasn’t a goal of hers.
Idk, I think the no-name thing ended up very fruitful for her. To me, it goes real well with the concept that if you pursue your interests with passion and determination they will take you places you want to go.
I think it's ok to say you liked it, and it's ok to say you didn't. I liked the last season at first, the more I look back at it the more I don't like it. It's also ok for the audience to have expectations. Even George RR Martin has expressed dissatisfaction with the final season. At the end of the day, the point of a television show is to be entertaining to a viewer. If a shitload of people aren't entertained things went haywire. The final season hasn't been polarizing, with a lot of people liking and disliking it; the reception has been almost overwhelmingly negative. So, maybe their decisions were ok, maybe the writing genuinely made some huge missteps
Arya was fairly obviously going to come out untouched at the end of the show for the most part.
This was the one part that seemed to make that questionable.
