That has already guaranteed to happen in sub groups. Many of the old book fans now hate the show after seasons 6 and 7. In terms of general television audience I think they'll be fine with the television ending given their positive response to seasons 6 and 7. |
Why would book fans be unhappy. I can't think of anything that has not happened how most people predicted. The show has changed a few deaths or characters being alive and what not, but for the general main stuff it has all happened pretty predictably.
My biggest gripe with the show has been that the more it has had the chance to take its own liberties, the more it has fallen into the cliché tv drama. There are just too many moments that feel like fanservice scenes. Like the meeting of all the rulers, where it had all the shows favorites have little convo's while walking. You know Briane and Jaime, Jaime and Tyrian, ect. All the moments where people have been waiting seasons for their reunions. While this may happen in the book, it just came off or was filmed very tv cheesy imo. Felt like it served no purpose other than fanservice. Other cliché tv tropes as well like the wildling dude and briannees budding relationship, ect. While all these scenes are fun, funny, entertaining, ect. taken as a whole it starts to feel different than the prior seasons. More like we are in anime original content versus following the manga type of a situation.
