Kit Harington was ‘Genuinely Angered’ By Fan Petition to Remake ‘Game of Thrones’ Season 8 With ‘Competent Writers’
-
I can't recall anything good any of the leading stars have been in after GoT.
Peter Dinklage was good in Roofman
-
He didn't say he was surprised, though.
Maybe he was mad about the "competent" part? Because, the writers showed they were competent, so they apparently just DGAF in the last season.
Was it because AT&T purchased it at the time and tried to turn it into Netflix?
-
"popular"
man, you should see how i talk about trump supporters
You can debate the merits of the show but to give one of the most watched shows in history a "popular" just makes you look like a goof.

He pissed even more on GoT fans.

Sophie Turner has had a decent run of mid-tier high budget movies (the jennifer lawrence xmen movies) and I think is the new live action Lara Croft?
Robb Stark was in that show about the bodyguard who banged the president while calling her "mum" the entire time? I hear that was good? And he has pivoted that into even more pseudo-spy dramas?
Kit was one of the less offensive things about Marvel's Eternals. Allegedly. Nobody watched it.
But I think it is also important to remember how a lot of these major franchises go. Most of the cast are hired REAL young because they are basically signing a contract to be in something for a decade or more. The known greats are wary of that and are going to want a lot more money and may just bail. See Elizabeth Olsen in the MCU where she clearly decided she was done with that shit. And that is why it tends to be less "Wow, so and so was a great actor" and more "So... both the leads of Twilight kind of just became known for really quirky low budget films they took because they are already set for life monetarily?"
Sometimes you get lucky? Most of the time you don't. And you rely on your supporting cast to carry the production. And most of the GoT supporting cast were already known amazing talent with established careers who just continued doing their own thang after the fact.
Gwendoline Christie making tunes with Sleaford Mods and Big Special is the best thing I've seen:
-
Logan was good, Masie was okay in it. Uhh...yeah.
she was not in that.
-
The part that's worth talking about, to me, is how creators and their audience can occasionally be on such different pages. What happens to the creative process to make that happen? Is it indicative of a deeper ill with the industry?
HBO is known for taking big swings and they used to depend on the fact that it didn't matter how many of their shows sucked because eventually they'd make a GoT or The Wire, so it's not weird to see one of their shows suck or be amazing... but it's certainly memorable when they make one that does both.

I don't know. Hollywood, in it's entirety, sucks and amazes to the max. Like... that's literally their thing.

Why would you compare GoT to Kanye?
-
you can go to pornhub for the first two things, and just look at news if you enjoy murder.
why bother with all the soap opera shit
What TV do you like, exactly?
-
i'm not comparing those two things. i'm pointing out that the "it's popular = it must be good" argument is obviously ridiculous when you apply it to kanye. or any other terrible thing that's "popular"

Eternals was also Robb Stark, not Kit. It was not a good film.

Well to be clear, Kanye's recent music material output aside and awful public behaviour - his musical content is absolutely highly acclaimed historically by listeners and critics.
-
she was not in that.
I don't know how to respond to that. I feel like I'm being Mandelad pretty hard right now.

lately, nothing. i've been marathoning what i grew up with, star trek" TOS, TNG, DS9, voyager-- i tried to get into the "newer" ones, but they're meh to me. i was initially interested in orphan black and squid game, but they got tedious and i lost interest
generally speaking i'll avoid investing a single microsecond in a show until a) it's 100% completed; and b) people don't fucking hate the ending--which, apparently isn't the case with GoT

And the new Toxic Avenger

I mean GOT still at least had 6 highly received seasons. I don't think the ending degrades GOT as a series.
I also don't think there's anything especially wrong with gravitating towards media content that explores dark or violent themes in writing (seemingly a partial objection of yours to GOT?)

if that's a good enough reason for you, then that's what it is. from my perspective, "listeners and critics" factor 0% into what i consider to be worth my time

True and it's a shame because Emilia Clarke seems to put her all into everything she acts in, but she's had some REALLY cheesy movies since GoT... Last Christmas, Me Before You, and Marvel's Secret Invasion series
She seems to be a very nice person, but to me, she had the weakest performances of almost anyone on the show. Could be a me problem, but the scenes with her always just broke my suspension of disbelief. The only thing worse was seeing Ed Sheeran...
