Nearly 1 million disgruntled 'Game of Thrones' fans demand a final season remake
This image released by HBO shows Emilia Clarke and Kit Harington in a scene from"Game of Thrones," that aired on April 21, 2019. By Timothy Bella Timothy Bella Deputy editor for Morning Mix Email Bio Follow May 17 at 5:24 AM If more than three-quarter of a million disgruntled “Game of Thrones” fans had their way, dragons would unmercifully torch the eighth season of the HBO hit, screaming an endless stream of firestorm upon the story line of the show’s final episodes.
The wild success of the petition is the latest sign that disgruntled fans of the nation’s most popular show are ready to take matters into their own hands, whether by begging HBO for a do-over, duping Google’s algorithm into having a picture of Benioff and Weiss show up under the search term “bad writers,” or recutting death scenes to the delight of thousands online.
“The last season was supposed to be about killing characters, not killing their story arcs,” another wrote.Me knowing that they won't remake S8 but lowkey hoping that they will.#gameofthrones pic.twitter.com/uq0kVAjr5L The backlash hasn’t stopped fans from sending off “Game of Thrones” with its best ratings ever. Three of the five episodes this season have set records, including last Sunday’s “The Bells,” which brought in 18.4 million viewers, according to HBO. Entertainment Weekly reported that the show is averaging 43 million viewers per episode in total audience this season, factoring in DVR playback, streaming and repeat viewings -- a weekly increase of 10 million viewers from last season.
