George Martin was fully involved in writing the ending with the writers of the show
When he does the books the ending will be the same , the battles will be the same just will have a lot more meat on it as you expect from the books
I thought the ending was perfect
SPOILER (Tap to show)
Very harrowing at the start with the devastation and then Daenerys clearly wanting full vengeance and revenge which had taken her off - her ending was the only way to go because Drogon wouldn’t touch Jon because of his heritage
Jon Snow went full circle and ended up back to where he was happiest - with the free folk
Sansa had a great journey from little miss prim and proper to the Queen of the North - father would be proud
It then allowed Arya to be the free spirit she always was going to be
Bran was the logical choice - he didn’t want the role but that was the reason why he should have got it
The small council at the end - full of losers throughout the whole series and end up being the ones to change the future
It was the perfect way to end - nice and calm
It was no where near perfect. How can you call something perfect, when it does not have substantial backbone to stand on?
I mean all the plot points were rushed as f**k.
SPOILER (Tap to show)
If Bran was the logical choice, did they even pretend to show that in the previous episodes or seasons?
As for the council of losers; they never showed as to how Sam became Grand Maester whilst stealing the unique books from the Citadel, whilst also having a wife and a son , which every Maester is forbidden.
Same could be said for Bron, master of coin? What nonsense.
Think the only thing that made sense was Ser Davos being master of ships , and Podrick being a member of kingsgaurd.
This may very well be Martin's ending, but I doubt he was "heavily" involved with it. As far as I have read, he just told them the basic plot points, and rest of it was up to D and D to make it a logical progression( which they failed massively). Too bad, the first 5 seasons of an incredible TV show got butchered by incompetent writing. Think they fu**ed up when they gave more preference to spectacle than logic.
The difference between the earlier season and later seasons is night and day, such a shame.
