They're in complete denial of how season 8 was a shitshow. It's not reassuring at all concerning their abilities to deliver with the three body problem series...

These guys had the easiest, lay up of a legacy and ruined it for a non existent Star Wars trilogy. I feel for them in a weird way. What a disastrous outcome for the fans and the creators. There were no winners here. Just a betrayed fanbase, and two talented men who destroyed what made them respected and loved. Someone should honestly have made a documentary by now on this tbh.

They made a great series. But Martin failed to write the end of the story and left Dan and Dave our to dry. They get the blame from ingrates like yourself while George gets to ride off scotch free

@wheelmanstan Ай бұрын

haha, I believe they intentionally sadistically destroyed that show..imo, once I finished GOT I sat down and decided to write out my own ending to help me deal with it and close that chapter properly, took 30 minutes, that's how easy it was..and they refused to do it, I think they wanted to end it as fast as possible to move on to something else because the show was too stressful and demanding and they wanted to give the fans a big F U on their way out

@@boxingtrav2473 There was absolutely nothing stopping D&D from giving the reigns to someone else and moving onto something else, like that Star Wars trilogy they were fired from after incompetently ending one of the greatest TV shows of all time. Instead, they held onto it out of ego and here we are now. They were lucky to get 3 Body Problem.
