    they killed the entire game of thrones universe by doing a final season quickly to “wrap things up” so they could move on to bigger and better things.

          For real? If that’s true then they fucking deserve it.

            Disney and Douche&Douche both claimed otherwise, but anyone with a pair of eyes could see that their deal dissolved pretty publicly after Season 8 concluded.

            Truly Season 8 wiped the biggest cultural phenomenon off the map. Who even mentions GoT unless it’s to marvel at how badly they fucked up?

              For me, it was when folks were in lockdown for Covid. Everyone was rewatching old shows. No one was talking about GoT.
              There used to be watch parties… People cosplayed as characters… And then it just vanished.

              Hell I’m amazed that there are any other shows being produced based in that universe

      I mean, to be fair, they also created it and made it awesome in the first place. They just became arrogant and stopped listening to people around them (in the end that included the actors, HBO and George R.R. Martin).
