Welcome back for another Game of Thrones Season 8 video. In this video, I will be talking about Game of Thrones writers and showrunners, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss new interview with Variety. The new article states, “Game of Thrones” author George R.R. Martin first mentioned back in 2020 that there was once a plan to end the HBO series with a film trilogy designed for movie theaters instead of just another normal season of television. In a new WSJ Magazine profile, showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss confirmed this was actually their original plan for ending the HBO mega-hit. They wanted three movies instead of spreading the final 13 episodes across two seasons. This might be one of the dumbest ideas they've ever had. In my opinion, this would have made Game of Thrones' ending worse.

Fully agreed. 6 hours would've been an even bigger disaster. The actors should have gone behind D&D's back and talked to the HBO people to get them fired. D&D are salesmen, not artists.

Those clowns (d&d) own the rights to the series, as far as television is concerned. Even if HBO wanted them out, which they probably did, if d&d said no, there's nothing they could do about it. GRRM should have contractually obligated them to give him (Martin) the final say on all creative decisions, with GRRM being able to force them out if needs be.

At the end of the day, I get that D&D wanted to leave to do other creative projects - it is not unheard of for showrunners to leave tv shows and new showrunners to step in. And that is what should of happened! My understanding is HBO would've been happy to let someone else take over, but D&D didn't want that to happen, and that's absolute bullshit. They wanted all the glory without putting all the work in, and they rushed out those last two seasons like a bad trip to the toilet.

The fact these two are even allowed to continue making movies/shows is a disgrace, they should've been tried for treason (with Joffrey deciding their fate) for how they butchered the cultural phenomenon that thrones was. I mean just imagine how absolutely amazing the series could've been from start to finish if they were even half as passionate about the show as the fans were. I'm not even that mad with how the story played out, just how they rushed it so much the plot points didn't feel fulfilling.

I would rather the show was longer with more character development and LOGICAL plot. Would be lovely if they werent afraid of the fantasy elements as well. I guess its too much to ask for but it would do wonders to the show.

Shows are really the ideal format to put any visual story in. An episode is typically long enough to carry a plot well without feeling like too much sitting, which many movie watchers have a problem with in 2-hour sittings. They also provide the convenience of watching the number of episodes that fits an individual's schedule best, and have far more time in which to fill out a story without it necessarily feeling longer. To make it even better, a show can really take it's time building a lot more depth to characters and worlds, where a movie just has to be carefully planned to be fully self-contained in what's happening in what rarely goes far past 2 hours. The length and time distribution of shows compared to movies or even "mini-episodes" is just too much of an improvement to be a fair comparison. A movie can still be great and all, but most of the best stories in film are shows due to just how much they can put into it. The ceiling for quality is drastically higher.

It seems like the writers stopped caring about the show altogether in the last couple of seasons. At that point, they should have given it over to someone else, and I don’t understand why they didn’t. I also don’t understand why the execs at HBO allowed the show to end so much sooner than it should have, and in such an unsatisfactory way. It was so popular you’d think they would want to make more seasons out of it, if only to get more profit from it.

They could do 5 minuite anthology videos for street soldiers/minor houses pov for all the rushed battles like the prologue pov set ups to the books. And film 25-30 of those. Dorne, Brotherhood without banners, Bells battle, Golden company, Euron,Reach houses, iron bank, Varus, LF would have benefited a lot from that.

I am just now watching season 8. I have so enjoyed benge watching each hour long segment. I have watched hours of interviews with the different actors from Game of Thrones on You tube videos. i have really enjoyed this show. I will hate to see it end. but I am glad I got to see more segments, instead of just 3 long two hour shows. you did a good job of reporting on how it got made. thanks.

I actually think a movie or trilogy of films could've been cool. Seeing GoT on the big screen would've been hype and could have gotten MCU numbers. In addition, I believe the Others' invasion of Westeros could've made it to Kingslanding in this version due to cinema's grander stakes. The White Walkers would've been the final conflict instead of Cersei vs Daenerys

I used to have so many fantasies about this show. The craziest part is that during the off time... When there would be so much speculation about what would happen or what might happen. That actually ended up being better than the real show!! The what if scenarios... The show has so much potential... So much!! I was so excited to see King's landing get invaded by the white walkers. I saw the huge siege in my head!! I imagined season 8 being 30 episodes long!! That is not what we got.

Ok. It’s a bit of an assumption to say 3 movies would have been 6 hours. Think about Lord of the Rings. Each movie is 4 hours plus which would have made GoT 12 hours if they had followed that template, just one hour less than the series. However, which ever way they had done it still would have had the same problems. It needed another series as we all know.

Agreed. Strange as it sounds, we should be thankful that it ended as (well as) it did, and although I feel the same way most do about the final season and the two seasons prior to a certain extent, I still rewatch A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms from time to time. It's unusually upbeat and hopeful for a GOT episode, and it's one of my favourite from the entire show. I also appreciate the tension in the build-up to both The Long Night and (ahem) The Bells. What follows, not so much, though.

It depends on what a "snackable" episode is. If they mean a 10 minute youtube style episode, I would be down for that for some of the side quest stuff. There was a lot of stuff that happened off screen that could have seen a 5-15 minute "mini" episode. Side characters. The stuff going on with Gendry while he was "rowing" or what was Beric up to. The journey for Barristan Selmy, the decision and journey from Kings Landing to Essos to meet up with Dany. Some of the negotiations between Varys, and the Sand Snakes, or more of the Sand Snakes consolidating power after they killed Doran? etc etc, lots of stuff.

Cinematically, I don't think there was much wrong & it was stylishly done in episodes. I kinda foresaw that you could only conclude such a sweeping vista & panorama of a show by burning it all down, including the Iron Throne. It is what the Romans did with Kings in the end: they're too despotic and irredeemable to continue. It is a "Song of Ice and Fire" and so ice & fire had to both recede in the winter of the Long Night before spring could bloom. *My one sadness is how they betrayed Daenerys as a character, but perhaps that is the tragedy of playing the Game of Thrones? You either win or you die as Cersei said. She couldn't win in Westeros as she had in Essos like a beloved liberator and breaker of chains. The series ended as how it began in Season 1 with House Stark and the next generation trying to do better than their forefathers.

Also, before the last series came out, I seems to remember there being an article where one or both of them had said "I'm not that whatever about game of throne"' or something. I can't remember the exact word but it was about the new series and sort of implied they were maybe a bit worried/not sure about it. I tried to find it since but couldn't.

Any production company that hires these two idiots are in for one hell of a nightmare. Honestly, this is so disastrous that you could probably make a pretty awesome documentary on this. "The fall of Game of Thrones and the writers who did it." Screw it. HBO Could come out with that one themselves. It's really amazing to me.... It's amazing to me how much of a phenomenon this series was shaping out to be, then falls flat on it's face, dead in a ditch. That's really incredible that you can be that incompetent to come out with that outcome.

What the 7 Hells could have been WORSE than what they did? I'm almost afraid to watch this video! I read a "leaked" script online that was actually 1000 times better than what they did. It had Cersi not help against WWs and after they were defeated and everyone came South after her she had Sansa kidnapped and hung from walls of KL, Gendry was revealed by Jaime as Cersi and Robert's black haired first child etc. It was really good. Danny and Jon shared rule in the end together.

I thought it would have made sense for the white walkers to survive as a people and to either negotiate a treaty or bend the knee to Daenerys after the Night King's death. Just because the Night King wanted to conquer all humans doesn't mean that all of his people felt the same way. I remember from the books that a white walker woman had a romantic relationship with a member of the Night's Watch thousands of years before the story began, so that implies that white walkers were capable of peaceful interactions with humans. Had the white walkers bent the knee to Daenerys they could have accompanied her army when she went after Cersei and the area north of the wall could have become the 8th kingdom of Westeros.
