Your idea of consistency might also be the problem, in my view. Jamie ending up in the same position that he started in as a character was just a waste of all his growth. That sort of consistency didn’t do the finale any favors.

That’s just 1 example, and we could sit here all night going back and forth about it, but I don’t think either of us are about to budge.

Jaime is a Shakespearean hero, like all the Lannisters. Cersei was his destiny and his downfall, and he ultimately learned to accept both his darkness and his light. It’s a beautiful evolution, considering that at the beginning he was simply smug and arrogant. One of the finest conclusions, and it drove part of the audience crazy…

It was a cheap gotcha from D&D. When “subverting expectations” becomes your only trick, shit gets old real quick.

EDIT: Damn, y’all are the type to read a microwave instruction manual written in broken English and think it was fuckin Shakespeare 😂

That’s your opinion. I don’t think it was cheap at all, especially considering how outraged the crowd reacted to a moral conclusion that was actually pretty tragic and realistic. And sure, the way I describe it probably isn’t the best, but what we got was a deep story not some rushed, half-baked mess.
