Game Of Thrones is possibly the series who made the most headlines during the late 2010s, generating a massive infatuation around her and her characters, all more nuanced than each other. But good things come to an end, and the season 8 left some hungry. But not for this actor who does not would change absolutely nothingand he is categorical.
Game Of Thrones : a chaotic end
If you were ever eagerly following the information around the last season of Game Of Thronesyou had probably cringed many times. The discontent against season 8 started well before its broadcasteven before the end of season 7 which was already beginning to feel the problems for screenwriters David Benioff and DB Wess, whenthey announced that the entire end of the plot was going to be contained in just six episodes, thereby speeding up the narrative. From now on, Game Of Thrones season 8 is known in popular culture for being one of America’s worst series endings, as Lost Where dexter were in their day. Speaking of the latter, you will soon be able to have the rest of the adventures on your screens.
But there is one person who defends the series, like his character in the series by the way: Iain Glen, 60-year-old performer known for his portrayal of Jorah Mormont on the HBO series. He is well-loved by fans for his rational decisions and his ironclad loyalty to Daenerys Targaryen, right up until her death in the Battle of Winterfell. The series ended in 2019 and sequels and prequels are already in the works, like House of the Dragon, this is an opportunity for the actors to defend their positions on the series. Peter Dinklage, Sophie Turner and Kit Harrington have all three already defended the end screenwriters. Now let’s listen to Iain Glen’s arguments. Perhaps he will manage to convince you, in an interview given to the media The Independent :
I understand that this is not what many people want. But the show is known for its twists and turns, and for that, I wouldn’t have done anything differently. Game of Thrones is a bit like my child, so I love him in every way. It is not a surprise. The show has always been against what fans wanted. They didn’t want Ned Stark to be beheaded, but the show did. I wouldn’t have done anything different. As an insider on the set, I was able to understand and support the decision the writers made and where they took the story.
Game Of Thrones : a controversial end
Jorah’s death caused less controversy than that of the series. The character lost his life in the Battle of Winterfell, protecting the one he had always loved. His loss was a blow to the fans, especially since the sacrifice was made unnecessary, since the character of Emilia Clarke nevertheless died at the hands of Jon Snow. Although Glen was supportive when the series ended, fan attitudes are unlikely to change any time soon. For this, it will be necessary await the imminent arrival of House of the Dragon to forget this previous disappointment.
HBO wants to regain the trust of fans by putting the universe of Game Of Thrones at the forefront of the series. This new series will adapt the events that caused the civil war named The Dance of the Dragons and which will lead to the doom of the dragons and the beginning of the downfall of House Targaryen.
