Not even sure why she's acknowledging it - it's fucking stupid and the people involved are losers.
The crew and cast worked their asses off, I have no doubt. D&D are the ones that disrespected the story by rushing it because they want to do Star Wars.
This is a no-win situation. Responding to that ridiculous petition, I mean. Just stay above the fray.
The petition literally says that everyone involved in the production did a wonderful job except for D&D, and Kit and Sophie still have to jump in and show their ass defending a dumpster fire they're not even paid for anymore lol
It's easy to say because there's literally no chance an entire season of any show will be remade just because of a petition
The issue is writers rushing a plot just to jump ship for that Disney Star Wars money. They where offered more seasons and they said no
I think the writing was disrespectful to the crew, filmmakers, vfx artists, costume department, actors, characters, source material, and the audience.
The petition is still dumb.
The petition is still dumb.
A petition asking for a remake is asking the cast/crew to re-do a whole lot of work as well. Hence, you see some of the cast actively annoyed by it.
I understand their loyalty, I wouldn't expect them to say otherwise.
I don't agree with them though, the guy who started the petition articulates his points quite well.
People keep trying to defend the show by just listing the plot points, when the plot points weren't the issue it was how D&D got to them. They took GRRM's cliffsnotes and failed to write an interesting story around them. there's a reason GRRM needs 2 of his massively packed novels to end this story, it was never going to be able to be done in 2 shortened seasons.
I wonder if any of the voice actors that didn't return for fma brotherhood complained about people wanting a readaption of the manga to exist
Are you saying the show runners of one of the most successful shows of all time don't deserve to be congratulated along with everyone else who gave a decade of their lives to this thing? That seems really fucking pathetic.
This post reads really shitty.
Honestly we are all way too entitled sometimes.
It's a TV show, not a personal attack. The 'fans' make it personal.
That's not it. People have valid complains about the structure and pacing of the show! And that what gives them the right to be inconsiderate entitled jerks.
Bad sarcasm aside. People should not let their honest disappointment into bitterness and hate and hope for other's failures. It's bad for everybody.

people petitioning to change some aspect of a movie or television show are being childish and stupid
go call your mom or something

I really don't think she cares I bet she's glad she's done with it.
If you have time to be involved with a petition like this, you have time to ponder where your life went so wrong.
As someone who worked months of 12 hour night shifts 6+ days a week to produce building materials for a project with tight deadlines only to have engineers spec a new product at the end of the day and all that work end up in a landfill... it's ok Sophie. As long as everyone got paid, your work doesn't need to inspire a spiritual awakening in people. Sometimes your best efforts just produce shit that goes in the trash.
The petition is so "dumb" that's it's been featured on CNN and other mass media outlets globally and is going to cross 1.5 million sigs in a few hours.
Now the actors are chiming in. Say what you want, but the petition has definitely gotten attention and given voice to a lot of frustrated fans.

False queen.
I love Emilia Clarke's ginormous smile face, she really goes all in when she's being cheerful.
though hunter x hunter is probs a better comparison
atleast the 10 chapters a year are final unlike the preview chapters thst are subject to change and we get less often
Again with the intellectually lazy dismissal of genuine criticism.
The ending season was planned, written, and executed poorly. There is enough out there substantiating this as a reasonable opinion.
Show runners didn't want to make the show anymore, and instead of handing it off to a fresh group of writers who can give it the time and care the ending of a massive story they told HBO they wanted less episodes and for it to be wrapped up in time so they can start the new Star Wars projects.
Yes, they deserve credit for creating the show and bringing a story that was nearly impossible to adapt to screen. That doesn't mean they shouldn't be heavily criticized for being incredibly selfish and not letting someone one else take the show off their hands when they clearly stopped being fully invested and wanted to rush the ending.
She should read it and realize it praised the crew. It was only "disrespectful" to D&D and the other writers, who frankly deserve it.
The thing that bugs me about all this is... why can't people be pissed that they didn't get their way? This notion that everyone has to criticise the story purely on its own terms is some really 'corporate' thinking, especially when it's being used to deflect criticisms of all kinds.
But nah, people who took 5 minutes at most out of their day to click a button in a link are pathetic worthless losers and the worst. I hope they never find love... or something.

I agree with what she's saying. The end the way the story started and ended in season 8 is an entire different matter.
