GoT Season 8 Discussion #13: If we look back, we are lost.

This is a place to discuss rant Dany's scenes and everything else from season 8 of Game of Thrones.

















"Because it comes out of f—king nowhere. I'm flabbergasted. Absolutely never saw that coming." - Emilia

"I understand the disappointment of some of the fans." - Emilia
"I think we could have shot a few more episodes to conclude in a more satisfying way the story of some of the characters." - Emilia

"In our minds, we thought the Randyll Tarly scene was disturbing. Then I watched it with a crowd of people at a friend’s house and they were cheering. Weirdly, the audience just didn’t care. They loved Dany." - Bryan Cogman
How the Game of Thrones writers misjudged Daenerys Targaryen’s final arc


"I get why people were pissed. I totally get it. But, me being the actor, you can’t do justice to the character that you poured your blood, sweat, and tears into for a decade without getting on the same page. So like, I’m not just going to be there being like, ‘Fine, I’ll do the scene, whatever. I’m so pissed.’ You have to turn up."
Emilia Clarke Gets Why People Were Pissed About Game of Thrones Finale



"Any ending would have upset everybody but our ending REALLY REALLY did seem to REALLY upset people" - Emilia


"I just saw the season finale of 'Game of Thrones'. This fight is for you Khaleesi" - Jason Momoa


If we look back, we are lost.


Because it's been 3 years and Snoop Dogg's reaction to Daenerys' death scene is still the most epic thing ever
"No, I think I'm done." - Emilia

Look who's back

Peter Dinklage Says Ignoring ‘Game of Thrones’ Outrage Was Impossible: ‘We Offended a Lot of People’

At least he's growing more aware of how badly offensive, disgraceful, disrespectful, and poor taste that ending was.

But does he get why people were offended, or is it still "they wanted the pretty white people to run off into the sunset" or "people are upset because they didn't get their personal ideal ending"?

Quote:
“No, but the show subverts what you think, and that’s what I love about it,” Dinklage continued. “Yeah, it was called ‘Game of Thrones,’ but at the end, the whole dialogue when people would approach me on the street was, ‘Who’s going to be on the throne?’ I don’t know why that was their takeaway because the show really was more than that.”
Yeah I thought the point was that everyone squabbling over the throne was ignoring the real threat to their entire continent growing beyond the wall, but apparently that wasn't such a big deal after all.

Yeah I'm still not a fan of him any more and I don't think he understands the Fandom at all.

Now and he's one of those "subvert your expectations" supporters.

The damage is done for me with Dinklage which is a shame as I loved him as Tyrion in seasons 1-4 and think he is a good actor. He just is going way too overboard defending his friends by insulting the viewers and acting like the criticism is irrational. Anyone who puts a form of art of media out there to the masses is opening it up for criticism, if someone can't handle that they are in the wrong job.

I never would except the cast to hate on D&D but they don't need to lash out at the fanbase to protect them. Just say something like "I loved working on this show and feel it was an amazing project to be involved in", even if he genuinely loved S8 for whatever reason he can be tactful.

What I have gleaned from his recent interviews is that he is a great actor but seems to lack critical thinking when his personal feelings and bank account are involved.

Most actors are sadly very annoying people. Emilia is a positive exception.
