Diehard fans of Game of Thrones cannot be convinced that the ending of the show was perfect. During the San Diego Comic Con, fans booed Game of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and other cast members as they tried to justify the final season.
In the video below, the actor received boos after he claimed that his character Jamie Lannister’s conclusion with Cersei Lannister, played by Lena Headey, was “great” and “perfect for the character’s ending.”

Coster-Waldau claimed that fans would not have been satisfied with the final season, regardless of the content. “It comes to an end, it’s gonna piss you off no matter what because it’s the end.” Sophie Turner, who played Sansa Stark, spoke out and said “So many people worked so, so hard on [the show], and for people to just rubbish it because it’s not what they want to see is just disrespectful.”
Kit Harington, who played Jon Snow, also had some words to say about the issue. He said, “…whatever critic spends half an hour writing about this season and makes their [negative] judgement on it, in my head they can go f–k themselves.” He decided to be more blunt about the issue because of how much work he knew was put into the show.
The Game of Thrones series finale aired in May and viewers slammed the finale and previous episodes in the season which led to fans starting a petition to remake season 8. It seems like fans should just accept the fact that the show is finished and should respect everyone that worked so hard on the show. You’re not going to get anything by bashing them because let’s be real, the creators are not putting any more money into this show.
