Not long after the seventh season of "Game of Thrones" aired, online spoilers for seasons seven and eight have exploded. Everyone didn't believe it at first. Such spoiler oolongs have been staged too much in the first five seasons, so most people are only skeptical about the spoilers circulating on the Internet. We didn't believe the news that Game of Thrones resources had been hacked until the latest episodes fit perfectly with the spoilers.
I'm not a quirky textist or an arrogant originalist, and for me, almost all of the characters in Game of Thrones have made me love at different times. When I first saw it, I would love Daenerys, Jon, and Ned like everyone else, who are full of justice and protagonist aura; the second and third time, I will find Sexi, Little Rose, and Orian again. Characters like Na, Peeling, and Varys are deeper and more researched. Therefore, it doesn't matter who sits on the Iron Throne in the end, whether it's Sexi, Daenerys, Jon, or even the Night King, Tyrion, or even Sansa, it doesn't affect me at all. Love this show.
Because of this drama, what matters is not the ending, but every detail it presents.
In the first six seasons of "Game of Thrones", even if it is partially separated from the original work, it is so perfect that you can hardly pick out any logic and details. Instead, you will be moved by many details: Tyrion's face is in the black water river. You won't find the scar left in the battle, you suddenly forgot to draw it in a certain episode (this kind of thing is common in domestic dramas); Cersei was cut off by the nun's long hair, you will find that just now. The hair was very short when it was cut, and then there was a process of hair growth, which was also reflected in the play.
Of course, the sensationalism of "Game of Thrones" is not a vulgar way. All embellished with small details. No tears, but gouging out my heart.

From the fourth episode of the seventh season, I gradually worried that "Game of Thrones" would go down from the altar like many American TV shows.
"Game of Thrones" is like a medieval Gothic church, majestic and finely crafted, sacred and not lacking in the emotional expression of human fireworks. Its towering spires, identification arches, and beams of columns have been built, but when the final stained glass is inlaid, it is so-so and hastily. This is the most intuitive impression of "Game of Thrones" to me at present.
In the seventh season, plus the eighth season that was revealed online, the production level has plummeted compared to the previous six seasons. Although the fourth episode of the seventh season set the highest ratings of a single episode, and most people said that it was "very hot" and "excited", it still can't hide its disappointing side.
First, the plot is too rushed, the details of the plot are no longer shown, and the utilitarian intention is too strong. Most of the episodes in the first six seasons are laying the groundwork for the development of the plot. It is understandable that the forging has been done enough to need to finish, so some useless details are no longer needed, such as Tyrion, Grey Worm, Missandei together Details like telling jokes won't come up again. All the plots serve the decisive battle, and the characters begin to become fleshless, feeling that they are just acting, not fresh. Euron only started ordering shipbuilding in the sixth and fifth seasons. At the beginning of the seventh season, he had the most powerful fleet. Would it be too deliberate to drop such a powerful figure in order to balance the power of all parties?
Second, the personality collapses. Of course it didn't crash as badly. However, Cersei and the Dragon Mother have already begun to make faces, and Sansa has not undergone a greater transformation or blackening as the first six seasons suggested. The Dragon Mother had already begun to doubt Tyrion, but it didn't start later. Is it because the plot needs to plan not to say more?
Third, the characters go through the motions seriously. In the first six seasons, some supporting characters disappeared when they disappeared. In fact, there is no need to let everyone walk through the motions before the big battle. Many American TV shows and movies like to do this. It shows that these people are useful when they appear before. Personally, I find it really disgusting to cook cold rice this way.
Fourth, why did the dragon suddenly become so obedient that he could be completely controlled? The sixth season also makes people have such doubts, because there is no account of the process of dragon domestication. This is especially strange.
Fifth, the details are not handled properly. The first six seasons hardly ever made such missteps. As an example.
▲ Bolong is invincible in this section, and it is necessary to successfully shoot the dragon in the end, which shows that the dragon is not without weaknesses. However, when he opened the chariot on the battlefield, the movement was very large, and he also gave a close-up that the enemy could not fail to notice. Bronn had no weapons and exposed his back to the enemy, but it took so long for the engine to shoot the dragon twice, and he was not attacked even once. Even if we assume that the enemy really didn't notice Bronn's presence because of his location, it can be seen from the picture that the two Dothraki passed right behind him and nothing happened. Personally, I think the details can be handled better. For example, when Bronn missed the first arrow, an enemy came up to attack him and was killed by him, and then he continued to shoot the second arrow, which may be more experienced. Have to scrutinize some.
Also, based on the spoilers, there will be a lot of scrutiny in the later episodes. Because the resources are not available, I will not talk about it for the time being.

American drama seems to have a tradition that it is easy to end up unfinished. Such as "Lost", "Prison Break", "Under the Dome", and even sitcoms such as "Friends" and "The Big Bang Theory" have not escaped the bad luck.
There are also dramas like "American Horror Story" and "Homeland" that are getting weaker and weaker, and "The Witches of East Side" that dug a big hole at the end of the second season and are too embarrassed to make a sequel, let alone make a sequel. .
Of course, HBO has also filmed the drama with the ending of God, which is "Running in the Night of Sin".
Commercial profit-seeking and script faults can easily lead to an unfinished good drama that was vigorous in the early stage. Game of Thrones is in that predicament right now. But even without the original, we'll find that Season 6 is still done at a high level, without what we feared before. So why is the seventh and eighth seasons just barely satisfying? Maybe the ending of a show really needs more wisdom, otherwise there won't be so many unfinished American dramas; maybe it's the rumors circulating on the Internet that the investment in the two seasons has dropped significantly; maybe we just expect too much. These are no longer important. The important thing is that it is hard to avoid seeing a divine drama that does not end in a divine drama.
The creators of "Game of Thrones" once said: "It won't be shown in the cinema as a movie, because the creators prefer the traditional form of TV, and they will not consider continuing to consume it and make a series of boring derivatives. There will be no magic dramas with similar themes, it will end when it is over, and it is unique."
People who are not utilitarian and not worldly create are often moving people.
I hope "Game of Thrones" can have a heart-wrenching ending like "Sin Night Run". We have traveled together for several years, don't rush when we say goodbye, please do every frame carefully and conscientiously. In the vast sea of American dramas, British dramas and Japanese dramas, my favorite is you.
