Game of Thrones final season [spoilers]

[Aegon]

That was ... pretty poorly written lol. Magnificent acting, but... I mean, come on. That was painful to watch.

Worst military strategy ever. Some teenager in his basement playing Total War could've came up with a better one.

Arya sneaking behind undead white walkers and the Night King? Outta nowhere? You gotta understand that, since 1999, book fans have had endless theories about the Others (i.e., their motivation), the prophecy of Azor Ahai, Jon's role as a Targaryen, and Arya just stabs the NK in the stomach and that's it? All nicely and cleanly resolved in one episode? This show is just like any other now (correction: it has been since S5). A mindless evil zombie bent on destroying humanity, nothing more nuanced than that. And Arya just up and stabs the guy. Seriously anticlimactic.

I also can't believe Cersei and fucking Euron are the biggest baddies at the end of the day. "Winter is Coming," now it just came and went and we're done? We good? What?

That being said, the acting was great, and I sincerely felt for all the characters. It was a brutal battle, and I liked it a lot. Yeah, it was a little dark. Just turn up your brightness

1. Really their plan wasn't perfect but it wasn't completely dumb

2. The NK isn't suppose to have an understable  motivation  that's what makes him scary. As for the prophecy guess what even in fantasy setting legends and prophecy's can be bullshit . It's fans fault for trying to read to much into things . Why should it be nuanced ?  And Arya was always going to be the one to kill the Night King there was nothing anti climatic about it . Why should the NK [/color]be hard to kill nobody else in this show is . Yup winter came and it was defeated and that's an issue why . As for Cersei of course she's going to be the final antagonist she's a bigger monster then the Night King .

1. They sent a calvary of Dothraki into pitch black lol. What did they expect to happen? Also, they admitted they couldn't beat the dead in a straight fight but they took them on in a straight fight anyway. Hundreds of soldiers waiting to die in front of the castle. And they know the NK raises the dead (that's how he builds his army), so what's the point of fighting them initially like that? They know that for every living person who dies, the NK gets another soldier. So all that fighting was entirely pointless, since the amount of undead they "killed" most likely was equivalent to the amount of living men they lost, who then became the undead. Trying to fight them in the beginning like that was ridiculously dumb.

2. Who says that - you? George R. R. Martin made it clear that the Others (White Walkers) in his novels have a more nuanced goal than "end humanity." Why does it have to be nuanced? Because evil zombies who just want to kill for the sake of killing are BORING. It's boring! It's cliche! Game of Thrones built itself on breaking cliches and removing itself from stereotypical tropes like that, that's why we have had such interesting relationships with all of the characters; there isn't supposed to be good guys or bad guys, just characters doing what they think is right, which can be good or bad. There's nothing compelling about an evil guy who's evil because he's evil, and it's uncharacteristic of the series itself. That's why.

It's why I didn't really like any of the Marvel movies until Captain America: Civil War. Because they were boring, generic, invincible superheroes and supervillains beating each other up until the good guy inevitably wins. They were boring because they followed a basic and predictable formula, so I never felt any tension or significant attachment to unrelatable characters. Eventually that switched, and then I liked the newer films. (Endgame was awesome.) Game of Thrones has gone the opposite direction.
