Game of Thrones fans petition for HBO to remake season 8 following controversial episode

They need to add some more tinder to the fire on Sunday, looks like it's not blazing enough.
I think the last episode should open with Jon teleporting on screen and punching Ghost.

I never really get these petitions.
I mean, this was already happening before the petition lol...

I'd thought I would never say a Blizzard character has much better writing then Game of Fucking Thrones, but yeah, Arthas is what Danny should have been if they did her fallen hero arc right.
Oh yeahhh... Well, wasn't Arthas basically pushed toward all that by Malganis and then went insane over Frostmourne?
I can see how Cersei can relate to this storyline by taunting with Dany's mind and pushing her to the brink, but the show runners just wanted to end it all without some kind of momentum so here we are.
I'm guessing it's not as simple as belligerent fans are claiming. I'm sure there was a lot of conflict between the show writers, GRRM, and the actors themselves for how this thing was going to end. We know HBO wanted more out of the show, but GRRM wouldn't want HBO stepping on his toes for his book plot line so there couldn't be any overlap with the A+ version of the story... I bet the actress portraying Dany didn't want her character collapsing into an unlikeable villain a season away from the end... D&D probably didn't want to add a lot of build up that became extremely difficult to write (and fans would probably call it filler), considering GRRM himself can't write his own books anymore. This project is massive and tough.
Am I annoyed we have annoying plot elements like 1-episode Long Night, Aimbot Euron and nerfgun Euron, etc? Yeah. Am I grateful I am seeing the fate of all these characters I started reading about over a decade ago? Yeah. I will rewatch the season after it ends and probably enjoy all of it. Arya killing NK and Euron killing Rhaegal will always bother me but it is what it is. I'll read the books if they ever come out. Let's see.
They mostly seem to be a way to stick a middle finger to the show writers. Still pathetic
=P
I've been having a field day
This one I'm particularly proud of:
30k signatures jesus christ. What an embarassment, to both think you are entitled to that and to think it might actually happen just because you're upset over a plot twist. You know someeone is going to do an animated version at some point, you know it'll hew closely to the books because of this utter shitshow. Wait for that, in the meantime stop pouring such a fucking weird amount of energy into being spiteful towards the people behind a show you clearly hold very dearly
And if that's too much just go hang out with Elio and Linda you sorry set of creeps

Is this really what's happening or is just another way to wave a middle finger at something that displeases people? I ask because, despite this being the internet, I still have a hard time believing someone thinks a new season of television is going to happen.
"I don't like thing. Spend a billion dollars to remake it to my exact specifications or you have betrayed me!!!!!!"
Maybe because the show has been nothing more than glorified fan service since the end of season 5. Now that they are subverting their expectations, the fans are throwing a shit fit. Deal with it.

Would love to see this.
"Palpatine, get your behind here and say hello to your new sister, Daenerys"
Damn, just move on if the show didn't meet your expectations. Sucks when a story lets you down, but it was not your story to tell. i doubt a remake would even satisfy the people who sign these petitions anyways lmao
Mass effect 3 set an awful precedent that continues to haunt to this day.
Maybe the problem is getting too invested in a piece of media and letting your fandom sub in for an actual personality? Idk just a thought
To be fair to the fans who signed, the show writing is terrible compared to everything else. Cinematography, acting, editing, music, visual effects all wasted on awful writing.
Lol wtf?
I'm genuinely surprised by this reaction to the 5th episode. It had major problems, as did the season as a whole so far, but tbh the episode 4 is the worst of the bunch.

Funny. "The Bells" was probably the best of the season, next to episode 2. Im really disappointed with the last two seasons, but this reeks of not wanting to see bad things happen to/with our protagonists.
Which for my money, is just terrible viewers. The show's gotten an influx of casual, mainstream viewers that need things neutered, not to offend their senses. The type that wouldn't accept seasons 1-4 willingly

I love it when people just co-opt "Game of Thrones fans" like its a consensus opinion.
I hated the episode but dont remake the damn thing lol jesus, bunch of children.

Regina from fricking Once Upon a Time had a better villain to hero arc, than Dany has from hero to villain.
Don't see it working out, but I signed it anyways.
Maybe they'll learn from this for the spin offs.
