Rewatched Game of Thrones Season 8. I’m in awe.

I remember initially liking the season (it came out on my birthday, which was special!) but after rewatching it last night, I’m in awe. The scope of the season and how it adds so much context to the overall story (The spinning spiral wall symbol scene/Bran becoming King) and the overall GOT universe is awesome because the entire season serves the greater overall narrative.
Also, the tension, MY GOD THE TENSION! The drama and stakes are palpable even though most people disliked it. From the opening scene with Emilia to the ending scene with dead Emilia, I was floored with how well it was written and acted. Not even mentioning the cinematography! Despite the shots being beautifully composed (especially the grander shots of the Dragon/Emilia's Death) Everything is so grounded and dirty and lived in. There’s no sheen. It makes me feel like I’m there and this is what it’s like living under Targaryen rule.
The final episode is chefs kiss. The way the narrative simultaneously follows Jamie/Jon trying to save humanity, to the fight happening on the castle steps, to the fight happening in Jons heart is this crescendo of an orchestra where all of the instruments are shining together on a grand scale.
I’m just blown away by it and I had to get this off my chest. I think it’s my favorite television universe now. What do you guys think?
NOTE: Some salty spittoon is going through and downvoting everything. Sad to see someone who hates people enjoying things.
NOTE #2: WOW! I did not think this would blow up like this! I’m so glad it’s sparked a discussion and debate within the community. I’m happy to see that so many of you share the same sentiment towards the film as I did :)
NOTE #3: WOW! WOW! WOW! Thank you kind strangers for the rewards! I’m beyond floored right now!
NOTE #4: There’s so many new comments coming in and I wish I could respond to all of them. I’m reading and I appreciate each and every single one! May the force be with you all.

The only thing I remember from season 8 was some guy on Twitter going, "This shot needs to be taught in film school," and it was the cliche shot of one of the CGI dragons spreading its wings behind Emilia after she had just slaughtered everybody. Yea ok dude, next you'll tell me how Iron Man is like the best written character in film history.

How is this funny? It's just facts.
Anyone who doesn't like S8 deserves to live under cruel tyranny.

There is nothing funny about King Bran, this is just pasta with added ingredients though.

Added touches of his posting to it, but it's a spaceshit fan's post plus a couple words.

Even with a daddy kink, that show had too much incest for me.

I am thoroughly trouncing you. I've seen your mo and I spanked you at your own game. I found your flaw and exploited it quite nicely, my slaughtered braised goose.

Too dumb to find it, sorry.
Anyway, the kind of people that appreciate the Star Wars sequel is exactly the kind of person that would enjoy season 8 of GOT

It was one of the top posts there today I saw it on all if that helps, I did not leave bread crumbs because those people are fucking nuts and it's their religion.

It's in top of the last 24 hours.

Spaceshitcels are worse than weebs

Fat fuck is too busy jerking off his old dilapidated penis to his self-insert sex scene from the previous book to ever publish again. He deserved to see his swordshit get HOLLYWOODed.

See PB, I'm not the only one who loved it

Honestly, once the Enterprise showes up and beamed them up to go fight the Death Star, I knew the Oscars were going to pass it over because it was too good and they will never give an Oscar to Leonardo DiCaprio
