Jesus Christ, that was depressing Not just the fact that the

Berserk Live Action's Femto looks great

They have to wrap up the show before George R.R. Martin writes and publishes the last two books.

>>87321204
Because they have no more source material and they know if they kept going after next season no one would watch

>>87321204
no need to bait the hook once the fish are on the line

>>87321204
Agreed completely. Purely from a logistical point of view the writing was really bad, like it was put together by high school students. That's ignoring the retarded directions that the story took.

They have a general outline, and the involvement of the original writer. Would it have killed them to take some creative license and fill the outline out in congruence with their own writing paradigms for the last 6 years? Yes, it could diverge from the books, but that's hardly the end of the world. Clearly, the universes of the novels and the TV show are not the same.

Similar to how CD Projekt Red analyzed and simulated Andrej Sapkowski's writing in their lore-chonologically successive Witcher stories. The games take from the books, but the two universes are separate. Sapkowski is free to do whatever he wants with any further novels - including completely disregarding CDPR's work - which he's vowed to do.

(Regarding The Witcher, it's pretty interesting to note that Andrej Sapkowski and George R. R. Martin, two grumpy genius gritty fantasy writers, are actually good buddies. They like to get drunk together.)

Each episode was the length of a short feature length film
Season 7 alone is longer than all extended cuts of Lord of the Rings put together
I fucking hate what this generation has done to television, demanding endless filler.
show still sucks and always has, jesus christ this stuff would have been so much better if GRRM had ever gotten his fatass around to writing it

GoT has always been shit. Where have you been

>>87322999
What a waste of trips
This is a tv show not a movie turned into a show, it is supposed to be this long. Everything happens so suddenly, everyone in the show can teleport to everywhere now and theyre doing so many meaningless shit just to tie up loose ends. This is not the way

>Each episode was the length of a short feature length film
The absolute length of the episodes are not the problem. It's the story content.
They basically increase episode time by ~20%, while simultaneously increasing narrative workload by ~200%

>>87321204
Because the fat man wrote everything for them in earlier seasons, but now that he doesn't write anymore they don't know what to do and want to just finish everything up

It's clear as day D&D's favorite part of making the show was the Red Wedding, after that it's been all downhill from there

>tv shows need 4x as much runtime as movies to tell a story
I'm not denying that the events feel weightless, but it's not due to the running length. You can tell a fucking epic story in this amount of screen time. You can cram tons of narrative and give that narrative its gravity. Look at BBC's adaptation of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norris for example...

Breaking Bad was great. The meme that it was anything lower than an 8/10 never worked or stuck. Drop the act.

When did I say it wasn't? I implied it went on too long, which it did
