Arya should have gotten killed by The Mountain.
A dope scenario would have been if in the last episode, Arya makes it to Cersei and as she's going in for the kill, The Mountain ******* crushed her... then that would have made the fight between The Hound and The Mountain a million times more meaningful.
They tried to make that fight so epic, but really they were side characters who's story didn't even matter like that frfr... if you add in the element of The Hound's greatest rival murdering the girl he saw as his daughter/baby sister who he loved getting killed in front of him... damn that **** would have hit hard as **** leading into that fight
Man, this **** was so disappointing because of the effort that the show put in to develop the characters, and the lore was rewarding for so long, and for it to end like that just feels like all that potential was squandered.
I thought Bran's character would really be an asset for humanity because of his special abilities... he could take control of animals and people... yet we didn't see him use that at all in the last seasons. A complete waste... Dany can't die by fire, yet when she falls in the battle field surrounded by the dead, they don't highlight that important aspect about her, why? Should should have used the fire to survive that encounter, would have made that sequence make much more sense.
Would have been nice to see Arya's disguise ability be on display somewhere this season... hell, it's nothing but dead White Walkers everywhere during The Long Night episode, that scene where she jumps and kills The Night King would have just been better if we see a White Walker jumping at him initially and then right when it gets grabbed, Arya appears before the kill blow... just lil **** like that would have went a long way for me, just seeing what they spend multiple episodes laying the foundation for with some of these characters come full circle in the end would have been a better payoff.
Wasn't it common knowledge that only Targaryen's could ride on the back of the dragons? Should that have been a give away that Jon was of Targaryen descent?
There were so many pieces of the backstory over these last 10 years that were just omitted from this last season that sucks a lot of the lore out of the show
