It is not a particularly unpopular opinion to say that “Game of Thrones” did not have the best end (Although I would say that some people here in / film could disagree with me). The series, which is based on the Roman series by George Rr Martin “A Song of Ice and Fire”, ended after eight seasons in May 2019 not with a blow, but with a pitiful groan. So, do the David Benioff and DB Weiss showrunners have regrets? Yes, apparently – but their regrets are not linked to the final of the series “The Iron Throne” all!

In a story of January 2024 for The Hollywood ReporterBenioff and Weiss said that they had a major shared regret: that the jailer bites, a little character seen in the first season of the show that was played by Ciaran Bermingham, never returned. “One thing I know that I would have liked to do is that there is the character of Mord le Jaôlier,” said Benioff in the room.

“It was a mistake not to bring the jailer back into it,” said Weiss. “We have always talked to do it.” Apparently, they had a specific idea. “And we had the scene for that,” added Benioff. “There is a scene that takes place in a tavern …”

“Was it Brienne or the dog?” Weiss followed, mentioning the favorite characters of the Brienne fans of Tarth and Sandor “The Hound” Clegane, played by Gwendoline Christie and Rory McCann. “But we realized too late that Mord could have possessed the tavern. We could have had this actor in the background acting exactly as he did as a jailer, except as a small business owner. It was just such an obvious, obvious idea after.”

Wait. Who is the devil is once again biting the jailer? Well, it appears always as briefly In a huge two episodes of the first season of the show as a guardian at Eyrie, the bastion controlled by Lady Lysa Arryn (Katie Dickie). After Lysa’s husband Jon Arryn, who served as King’s hand to Robert Baratheon (Mark Addy), died in suspicious circumstances just before the show’s story, she told Winterfell’s Starks that she believed that her husband was murdered; At the same time, the Starks, including Patriarch Ned (Sean Bean), receive the royal Westeros family in their northern castle. Everything goes south very Quickly when Ned and Catelyn (Michelle Fairley) Second son Bran (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) catches Robert’s wife and Queen Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) in the flagrant With his own brother Jaime (Nikolaj-Coster Waldau) and Jaime pushes the child through a window, killing him almost. SOAn assassin hired attacks Catelyn and an unconscious sound to finish work … and Catelyn wrongly believes that Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage), Cersei and Jaime’s younger brother, ordered the blow.

All this context is to say that Catelyn taken prisoner Tyrion in the wilderness of Westeros and brings him to the Eyrie to be judged, confronted with the possibility that he is pushed out of the “lunar gate” of the castle (which is just a hole in the ground which lets you fall to your death, essentially). While the imprisonment in the cells of the sky of the Eyria, which does not have a balustrades which prevent Tyrion from falling (again, at his death), Tyrion tries to reason with the jailer, saying that he will pay the guy really if he releases him – reminding him that the Lannisters always pay their debts. Tyrion wins his trial after having demanded that it is a trial in combat and hooking Lelsword Bronn (Jerome Flynn) as a champion, and leaving, he launches a gold bag, keeping his promise.

If I’m honest, it’s absurd that David Benioff and DB Weiss chose Murder Like their greatest regret with regard to “Game of Thrones”, although I suppose that I could give them the benefit of the doubt and say that they were just making a little joke after most people really hated the end of their show. Here is what they should In fact Regret: rush to “Game of Thrones” at its end point to such a degree that the last two seasons looked like an empty and ridiculous shell of the good seasons that preceded them.

Let’s use Daenerys Targaryen, the self-dubbed “mother of dragons” played by Emilia Clarke, as a perfect example of that. Realistically, Daenerys was probably always go descend into darkness; His father was literally nicknamed the “crazy king” and the characters often say that each time a Targaryen is born, “the gods return a room” concerning their mental health. (A story of incest will make your lineage apparently.) He did not have to shake up as he did, however, if Benioff and Weiss had not been so in a hurry to go make their film “Star Wars” (which was finally canceled anyway) and had left “Game of Thrones” ending through another season or two. Instead of looking at an increasingly isolated and paranoid daenerys experience realistic and normally rhythmic panic as to whether it could have ever sit on the iron throne, we saw this happen at Hyper-Spi. It all ends in a scene from the penultimate episode of the show, “The Bells”, where Daenerys mentally deteriorates in the blink of an eye and commits a direct genocide in King’s Landing of Dragonback.

It is What these two jamokes should regret. They should feel apologized about the assassination of the rampant characters in the last seasons of the show, as well as the very precipitated rhythm and the increasingly absurd attempts of the series of “subvert expectations”. (Bran is the king at the end?! Really?!?) They should not regret the bite jail. This guy didn’t need to come back.

“Game of Thrones” is in trouble on Max now.
