Game

By Jenna Anderson - May 15, 2019 11:51 pm EDT Share 5 Comments 5 If you've even remotely kept an eye on the pop culture world in recent weeks, you've probably seen the passionate responses to the last few episodes of Game of Thrones. And if one new Internet trend is any indication, a surprising number of people are unhappy about the way the show's eighth and final season is shaking out. A petition to remake Game of Thrones Season 8 has been making the rounds online, and has garnered more and more attention. At the time of this writing, the petition, which is titled "Remake Game of Thrones Season 8 with competent showrunners", has over 190,000 signatures and counting. "David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have proven themselves to be woefully incompetent writers when they have no source material (i.e. the books) to fall back on." The petition reads in part. "This series deserves a final season that makes sense." While there's absolutely no indication that HBO will … [Read more...] about Over 190,000 Game of Thrones Fans Have Signed a Petition to Redo Season 8

By Kofi Outlaw - April 9, 2019 12:21 pm EDT Share 0 Comments 0 Game of Thrones' Final Season is set to rule the pop-culture landscape this spring, and there are literal big bets on the line about who will win, and who will die. The ending of Game of Thrones is such a big mystery that fans would be willing to give a limb just to get a hint of the outcome, and no one is feeling the pressure to deliver more than showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. In a new interview with EW, Benioff and Weiss discuss their hopes for Game of Thrones' ending, comparing the challenge of ending the show to some of the more popular (and controversial) series endings that TV has produced in the 21st century: "BENIOFF: From the beginning, we’ve talked about how the show would end. A good story isn’t a good story if you have a bad ending. Of course we worry. It’s also part of the fun of any show that people love arguing about it. I loved the way David Chase ended … [Read more...] about ‘Game of Thrones’ Showrunners Want Their Ending to Be Like ‘Breaking Bad’

By Patrick Cavanaugh - September 28, 2018 06:43 pm EDT Share 0 Comments 0 In true Game of Thrones fashion, the series finale is set to cause controversy among the fanbase, according to star Sophie Turner. The actress thinks that fans will either be incredibly fulfilled with the finale or left wanting something much more. "Who knows if it will be satisfying for the fans. I think a lot of fans will be disappointed and a lot of fans will be over the moon, I think," Turner shared with IGN. "I think it will be really interesting to see people’s reactions, but for me reading the script it was just like heartbreaking to read at the very final page of the script it just says, ‘End of Game of Thrones’. That was really emotional." The actress herself is among those who are seemingly disappointed by the finale, not with the narrative direction the show took, but by having to say goodbye to her character, the cast, and the crew. However, the massive … [Read more...] about Sophie Turner Says ‘Game of Thrones’ Series Finale Will Divide Fans

By Kofi Outlaw - May 15, 2019 01:46 pm EDT Share 5 Comments 5 The new trend in fandoms is to attempt to simply pave over the road traveled but not enjoyed. Controversial or unpopular decisions in geek culture storytelling (see: Justice League, Star Wars: The Last Jedi) have riled up certain fans so much that they've actually banded together into (mobs?) groups, motivated to making change. Those attempts most often take the form of a petition - and now Game of Thrones fans have such a movement of their own. Game of Thrones' penultimate episode, "The Bells" has angered the shows fans so much that a new petition has been started. That petition calls for all of Game of Thrones' final season to be remade - away from the influence of showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss! The Game of Thrones season 8 remake petition has been launched over at Change.org; by the time this article is posted, it will be close to (if not over) its intended goal of 25,000 signatures. … [Read more...] about Game of Thrones Fans Are Petitioning for Season 8 Remake With New Writers
