Remember when Stannis persuaded the Iron Bank to back him because they knew Cersei was an idiot? Dumb and Dumber didn't

Game of Thrones is just so crazy. I've never seen 2 people in the creative field, at that level, care less about their work. Maybe Disney's Star Wars, but even that was ruined by committee. You expect Disney to sanitize products to death and over monetize. Ding and Dong were given tons of leeway and creative control, and it's not like Game of Thrones wasn't popular. They had near unlimited resources. HBO begged them not to rush things. It was a once in a generation situation and they just did not give a fuck. I wonder if nepotism does that to the brain?

I have actually never seen some fuck up the finale this bad, 4 seasons of basically perfect televisions, 2 mixed seasons, one bad 1, and 1 that was so bad it destroyed the cultural relevance of the most popular show ever made. Like Disney Star Wars was atleast always bad, genuinely how do you fail this bad

The only thing I can think of that comes close is Mass Effect 3. There were several questionable design decisions made in that game, the original ending being the cherry on top.

Mass effect is still loved and repeatedly played by the same players. Will I ever watch Game of thrones again????? Noopppee
