Fans say GameofThrones Season 8 has shortchanged its strong female characters
Scores of people are talking about Game of Thrones online ahead of its last-ever episode this Sunday, but probably not for the reasons the talent behind the HBO epic would have hoped. The show's final season has been widely considered a disappointment, and women across Twitter have been particularly vocal in sharing their dismay, claiming the show's powerful and complex female characters have been reduced to mere caricatures of their former selves.
But in Season 8, Daenerys quickly transformed into a power-hungry, emotional leader, who used her dragons to kill thousands of civilians without further consultation from her advisors. Fans were disappointed by what they saw as an undermining of her character development in"The Bells," as she embraced a personal vendetta over the safety of any of her own people, or her new followers.
Game of Thrones fans were equally unimpressed by Episode 4's brief romance between Brienne of Tarth and Jaime Lannister. After losing her virginity to the Kingslayer, suddenly the formidable warrior who bested The Hound in single combat was reduced to weeping in a nightgown after Jaime decided to return to Cersei. Memes circled instantly, arguing the scene implied women will do anything for an undeserving man, no matter the cost to their dignity.
