Who are the people defending this season?


Are they people who just watched game of thrones for the Dragon and Zombie special effects, and totally missed the first 4 seasons? I wonder why anyone with such lack of ability to discern good storytelling from generic sloppy crap would have watched game of thrones in the first place. They just jumped on the bandwagon perhaps? Or are they in deep denial refusing to accept that the show died?

Not defending, just having a harmless good time....

As a hardcore Garth Ennis fan and saw how none of his shit could ever be adapted faithfully because of being hectic so you can imagine how something like ASOIAF could never go as hardcore as the books.... I never expected this series to be as good as the books. So I gave myself over to decent production values instead.

I see the show ans the books as separate entities. ANYTHING on tv adapted from hecric books and comics will be adulterated all the way down to "acceptable".

The first indicator of that was Constantine. They didn't have the balls to do the original storyline, which was pretty GREAT. That's how I knew Hollywood and whatever is its tv counterpart will NEVER be truly ready.

Don't say that. I am trying very hard to be optimistic about The Boys.

Same, actually. I would love to be pleasantly surprised at a faithful rendition.

because even if it's not as good as the first few seasons, it's way better than what else is out there, and they want to see the story end.
