Anon crushed the alternative ending absolutely 1000x better than the actual show runners for free.

A lot of people shit on the final season, and rightly so. The ending didn't fit the entire narrative of Ice and Fire, Arya's training was basically useless, Daenerys's ending didn't make sense

I'm yet to hear of how anyone would rewrite the final season to be good, or where the plot points are all resolved. You would need to change a LOT, particularly how you conclude with the final battle AFTER Kings Landing is taken/won. There's a few novel ideas there:

• Bran warging into a dragon
• The Night King ignoring the North and going to war with Kings Landing
• Arya using her skills at some point to attack/kill Cersei
• Jamie's redemption, and possible pairing with Brienne, to leave Cersei alone and unhinged. Perhaps even Jamie killing Cersei?
• The Night King being such a credible threat that he actually takes over Westeros and the final battle being waged in Essos, or with the full "world" involved
• Jon ascending to the throne, as prophesied - but leaving the throne and escaping north
• Westeros just generally being destroyed and no one winning. " The dragons siding with Jon, leading to Daenerys's madness
• Bran slowly turning into the new Night King

So many avenues, but I'm yet to read a coherent plan.

The music accompanying the Night King scene is absolutely top-tier. Shame the storytelling failed to live up to it.

I never finished the show because of this episode. It was that disappointing I didn't care how it ended anymore.

I'm so glad I never watched the last season. "Oh, but what about..." Don't care. I'll read the book eventually. When they ran out of material from the books it became cartoonish.

The whole season turned into half arsed fan fiction.

Nah, they did kill a bunch of people. Remember the useless Dothraki cavalry charge? Straight up substracted the Dothraki army from the political equation, and removing several thematics from the narrative in the same blow. What would've become of the Dothraki after the war, had they survived? Would Kingslanding have kept a military continent of Dothraki, the way the Byzantines incorporated Huns in their army? Would they have had a political role in this new order? Would they have faced racism? Or would they have returned to the Steppe, and if so, would they have ruled it as an independent land or remained clients of Daenerys? And how would they have reacted to her death? So many questions that needn't be addressed thanks to the white walkers.
