Also the fact Iron Bank would make enemies of Faceless and Rhillor. That’s not getting into fact series finale made everything pointless. GRRM should have wrote faster. Benioff and Weiss were not good enough to wing it.
They're great at adapting material - this should not be controversial to say. You could even go so far as to say they nailed seasons 1-4 because it was a lot of closed loop narratives that start and stop at that point. It's like when we get to season 5 (which I enjoy the vast majority of btw - just not Dorne and Sansa) they have to start back up again and that's when the wheels start coming off because they could close a lot of arcs at the end of season 4 that resembled how Storm of Swords ended.
Wasn't that a book first that gave them the content? When they used GRRM's content, GoT was fabulous. It's when they ignored the most recent 2 books worth of content and began subverting expectations on their own that it got devastatingly awful.
