I like characters with actual development and whose intentions aren't there for fluff.

Cersei goes through, probably, the most of any living character at the moment.

Loveless marriage, taboo love that ends abruptly, watching her children picked off one by one, shamed in front of the entire population she's lord over. Friendless, no family (now) and always willing to do what's necessary to come out on top.

Tyrion has a rough story, so I'll give you that one -- and while it's super indulgent how the writers have made him a hero several times over I'm okay with him doing it despite his limitations. He's also had quite a long, arduous character arc which makes for good television.

Even Ramsay, whose mother dies at a young age and who must always try to gain his father's approval despite being the son of a mistress. Dreadfort, for all of its horror, is at least interesting.

I'm incredibly perplexed at how mad this show makes you. Goodness.


A lot of people have been waiting for a decade.

"Winter Is Coming". If this is the true end of the Night King and not a trick, then it's extremely anticlimactic and anti-Game of Thrones.

All of the fantasy tropes of good guys with plot armor were nonexistent for the majority of the series.

Where do you rank Peaky Blinders in terms of writing?

While I understand what you are saying, nevertheless, you're coming off as a guy who will never be happy.

Edit:

You sure Arya hasn't had development? You're complaining about her story enough... obviously she had development, just not the development that satisfied you. Dude she's been around since day 1. And she's developed into her own character.

"But how could she kill the Night King so easily!?!?!"

You keep claiming "that isn't GoT enough though"... when in reality it's exactly what Game of Thrones is.

You liked Lady Tyrell*? I bet her character would think fondly of Arya Stark... ya know, sneakily killing a king.
