But really, I completely agree. The stated intent by GRRM was to emulate LOTR's bittersweet ending but this is hilariously far off the mark. Yes, LOTR leaned more on the 'sweet' part of 'bittersweet' (especially the movies) but it was intensely satisfying.

Daenerys' Downfall And Jon Snow's Exile End The Targaryen Line
The Game of Thrones ending tied into the past history of Westeros in some interesting ways. Game of Thronesmay have begun seventeen years after Robert's Rebellion, but the show's story really began with Jaime earning his title of "Kingslayer" by stabbing Aerys II in the back, after the Mad King gave orders to burn down the city with wildfire. All the events of the series were set in motion by that act — from Robert Baratheon ascending to the Iron Throne, to Daenerys and Viserys' exile in Esso...
The Game Of Thrones Ending Saw House Stark Rise Again
Many assumed that if Jon were to kill Daenerys, he would be crowned King at the end of Game of Thrones. Instead, he was taken prisoner by the Unsullied, and it was left to the lords and ladies of the Seven Kingdoms to choose a new ruler, no longer beholden to any rules of bloodline or inheritance. Tyrion suggested that "Bran the Broken" would be the best choice since his story of being crippled as a child and then going on a great journey north of the Wall to become the Three-Eyed Ravenwas po...
Jon Found His Place With The Wildlings
The final book in George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series will be titled A Dream of Spring, and viewers saw that dream in the form of thegreen plant protruding from the snow as Jon heads north with the Wildlings. Much of Game of Throneshad been building up to the worst and longest winter in a while — the characters had previously been enjoying a seven-year summer, and the seasons tend to balance themselves out. However, it seemed as though the defeat of the Night King and the White...
Tyrion Seeks Redemption As Hand Of The King Once Again
When Game of Thrones began, the Lannisters were the real power players in King's Landing, with King Robert Baratheon observing angrily at one point that he was surrounded by them no matter where he turned. The crown owed a massive debt to Casterly Rock, Queen Cersei had birthed a trio of Lannister children with a false claim to the Baratheon throne, and Jaime Lannister was a member of the Kingsguard. Even King Robert's squire was a Lannister, a fact that would ultimately lead to the king's de...
Arya Continues To Embrace Her Life Of Adventure And Rejecting Societal Conventions
When she left Winterfell with Sandor Clegane, Arya said that she had no intention of returning home from King's Landing. It was not the first time that Arya rejected safety in favor of adventure. When Brienne tried to "rescue" her early on in Game of Thrones, Arya spurned the offer and instead ended up heading to Essos to study with the Faceless Men. Arya changed more than any of the Stark children except perhaps Bran, and now that she was a lethal, face-changing assassin who killed the Night...

May 20, 2019 · But Game of Thrones' bittersweet ending leaves the Starks in charge of most of Westeros while everyone else in the Six Kingdoms is now kneeling to Bran the Broken. Perhaps George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire will end differently, with more deaths, but that remains to be seen.
