What Game of Thrones did right in the beginning and middle of the story should not be overlooked. The show did an excellent job of developing all of its characters so that every fan had someone to root for. Unfortunately, that very thing is why so many fans disliked the ending. It seemed, to some, to disrespect the characters that fans had spent years rooting for. The ending of Game of Thrones was awful for everyone, except the remaining members of the Stark family. Yet, it was particularly difficult for Daenerys Targaryen and her fans. Daenerys was so close to achieving her goal of reclaiming the Iron Throne, but at the last minute, she went mad and decided to slaughter the city of King’s Landing instead. Then her lover (and nephew) Jon Snow seemingly has no choice but to kill her.
Of course, not everyone will agree that the writers should take a lesson from the Game of Thrones fans. After all, they should be able to create the show they want to. Yet it would be a shame if they didn’t as it’s really quite a good lesson. And it wouldn’t have to come at the cost of the writers’ creativity as long as they don’t want to write a nonsensical ending for any of their characters.
