Game of thrones ending wasn't as bad as most people made it seem, I think it's because of the huge following it had thats what made it seem so. Besides I don't even think any ending would've satisfied the audience.

This is exactly it..

No ending could've prepared us to say the final goodbye to it ... it's as hard as that

Y'all really need to stop with the "No ending would've satisfied the audience" angle. That finale was premium crap. From being rushed to story points and character development leading nowhere to illogical decisions.
GoT is not the first beloved show to end. You don't see people incessantly complaining about Breaking Bad's finale, do you?

I have not watched GOT s8 till date after i heard about the crap ending.

BB ended greatly, Homeland season final was sweet. People will know a season final that's good and the one that's crappy too. There are many beloved tv shows that ended well so don't mind them.

Yeah,Since have been doing quite alright from S1 - S6, landing a perfect ending wasn't supposed to be rocket science for them, well the deed it's done now, rewatching from S1 feels weird now knowing how it ends.

From the few i can remember to answer your question,
We got to see the beauty of one the best battles in the show, The battle of Hardhome. In the books, since the book it's pov styled, nobody technically witnessed the battle, it was just sparsely mentioned.

Mance Ryder is still very much alive in the books, though he suffered the same faith as in the series by been burnt at the stake and "mercy killed" by Jon snow for not bending the knee, this was a pivotal moment in the series ascertaining Jon Snow as a "leader" (Of course it led no where in the end) and the scene was lit.

Sansa is no where near Winterfell in Books as it was her friend that married Ramsay Bolton but her returning to Winterfell in S6 to to exact revenge on Ramsay, reuniting with her brothers and Becoming "Lady of Winterfell" was lit.

Robb's wife Talisa been stabbed in belly at the Red Wedding brought an heightened level of gore that shot up the ratings of the "red wedding" as one of the best episode in the series and it was of course lit, but in the books however, Robb's wife was no where near the red wedding, and so didn't die in the massacre and her infact family was even in alliance with the lannister.

These are the few i can remember vividly, others vaguely cuz of the sheer volumes of the books.
I keep holding out hope that George completes the books ..but I'll still accept that seasons 1 through 5 were fantastic...

yeah hardhome was some great tv
love the character given to the night king

but there were also some arcs in the books I want to see completed

lady Stark still being alive ...

aegon Targaryen still being alive and vying for the throne

and I expected that when winter came it will be with more or less permanent night

and those direwolves got completely ignored �

also not totally unrelated ..can we agree Ned Stark deserved to die

Your analogy is apt and spot on, the showrunners had no source material to run on after season 5, but they still managed to get us a finale, GOT still has the length to run for 4 more season due to the story arcs and character development of most of them, but then it would have been useless, the Targaryen narrative was useless, the defeat of the NK too seems rushed, but its still a great finale compared to most.
yeah I wouldn't call it useless tho as I'm still very interested in seeing the payoff, if it does payoff...but I don't really get why they rushed production and the way they were making mistakes like the Starbucks cup or so and the bottled water that were visible ...and there also alot of fan servicing ...

BLOOD OF ZEUS - 8/10
It wasn't better than Castlevania but it was still really good.

best ending I have ever seen from a series will be banshee....GoT started derailing when they move pass the novel, they went from not been predictable to predictable but they could have given us a penultimate ending that could have left us with guessing what could be or not

George will eventually complete the books, but it will be at it's own pace, which is frustratingly slow.

If they were to follow all the arcs, it will run into 20 seasons and become a writing headache for the show runners. They just choose the major arcs to follow.

Catelyn stark as a leader of an undead army seeking revenge? Sign me up..but would they have fitted the arc with so many plots running from S4-S6.

It was clear that from S1,the only Targaryen arc they were willing to follow was
Daenerys and i think it was ok and good tho the end was absymal. I actually think Emilia Clarke's casting was the best in the show.


The Direwolves were cut off due to the huge CGI cost in creating them. Then again, the show made so much money that even the merch sales from it could have easily funded it.

Lastly, Yup, going to Kings Landing, to talk crap about Robert Baratheon's Children having Blond hair instead of black why been surrounded by the Lannisters and their allys?. He deserved what he got.
