Not in here they're not. This isn't Twitter, people here are mostly annoyed at the pacing. The red herring build ups are merely a disappointment.

People generally aren't upset at what's happening, but rather how it's happening.

That's sort of the problem with just about anything anymore - be it a show like GoT, video games, specific movie genres, wrestling, etc.; the false perception all complaints are invalid and from a place of pettiness as opposed to the source material going to shit. The source material is never wrong, no matter how much it may contradict itself, be mired in scumfuckery, or misjudge the audience. It's your own fault you don't like it, not ours for producing a terrible product!

I've said elsewhere that just this particular plot point of Danerys glassing Kings Landing comes off less like the slow descent into the tyranny that she was looking to destroy, and more like she just decided to go off her meds that morning. The same woman who put up with her brother's bullshit up until she decided he was being too much of an asshole to keep around, suddenly figures she'll rain hellfire down on army and civilians indiscriminately even after it was repeatedly and explicitly stated that the bells meant Cerci's forces gave up. Even if it was something as subtle as "she didn't hear them because she was too busy attacking" would have made that easier to swallow. Instead, she just goes full genocide like a throwaway GTA run where she'll just redo that mission later from a previous save. And this was more or less just the straw in the classic camel's back analogy for a lot of folks. There is plenty wrong before and alongside this. And it is additionally paining since it is most likely not to culminate into something at least palatable in the final 50 minutes.

The fans not getting a "disney ending" is an excuse used to mask the fact that this has gone off the rails in short order. From what I've read, it's because the show runners don't give a shit for whatever reason.

Yes, the petition is fucking stupid. Especially if the commentary about them turning down a multiple season extension and taking significantly less pay to basically just be done with the show is true. After all, two to three more seasons could have served to take care of the narrative shortcomings that the current shoehorning has presented. Why would someone retcon an entire season that they half-assed in the first place? Makes no sense.
