My Predictions of Game of Thrones ending.

[McElroy]

They all go to HELL!

No wait, that's the writers.

They (the characters) will all suffer through the Dark Stark Saga and then go to hell.

Honestly, I dunno. But I like reading other people's predictions. Stannis will be back.

I wonder if the ending will receive huge backlash like mass effect 3 got.

I hope not.

GoT was partly fun and admired by it's willingness to kill off major and much-loved characters - you'd never really know what might happen (unless you'd read the books). You kind of hope therefore people would accept an end in a similar vein; limtied resolution, the world as horrible as it was at the start, and potentially unhappy endings for good guys.

Mmm...I'd argue that it was more that ME3's ending simply didn't work rather than it being unhappy. For illustrative purposes, imagine that when Luke finally comes face to face with the Emperor in Return of the Jedi, the story suddenly tries to make the emperor sympathetic by casting his acts as imposing much needed order on an intrinsically chaotic galaxy and ultimately casts the attempts to overthrow the Empire as somewhere between misguided, ineffective, and counterproductive. And that the best solutions Luke has are either supplanting Palpatine and becoming the new emperor or to use an ancient Force artifact alongside the Emperor to magically make everyone get along and be orderly. That's simply a bad way to end the story that was being told up until Luke met the Emperor, and that's basically what we got with ME3.

More on topic, do I foresee GoT's ending getting blowback? Eh..depends? If the final book suddenly claims that the Others are just trying to fix the real problem of wars within the seven kingdoms, and that that dealing with that almost philosophical issue is more important than dealing with the imminent zombie apocalypse threatening Westeros? Then yeah, you're going to see ME3-grade backlash. If it ends with heavy losses but the Others defeated, I expect it'll be reasonably well received. If it ends with the Others victorious? That'd really take some spectacular writing to pull off, but it's not impossible.

That's exactly what I was thinking this entire time this series is on air.

My ideal ending scene for Game of Thrones is Arya, the Hound, Bronn, Tyrion and Pod sitting around a table at a tavern somewhere, drinking ale and Bronn just nods his head and says "Yeah, I think all things considered we came out of that pretty well".

Cut to black, roll credits.

I hear a lot of predictions of Arya killing Cersei for a while now. I think it would be kinda annoying if that happened. Arya doesn't really have much of a ''right'' to kill Cersei. What did Cersei ever do to Arya? Sure, she was a big factor in her fathers murder but Cersei did far worse to other character and she never actually intended for Ned to die.

Ceresi is the last one living who was responsible for her Father, Mother and Brother being murdered. Littlefinger and Joffery also had a fair share of blame, but Littlefinger is dead and Ceresi was the power behind Joffery.

Arya has as much right as anyone else to kill her at this point.

 

[Gethsemani_v1legacy]

My only prediction is that GoT will flub the landing, which I base solely on the fact that the showrunners have been misreading characters, plots and events from the books entirely for the last three or four seasons- They have been consistently unable to deliver on the initial promise of the show, which was a grounded and internally consistent fantasy show, in favor of cheap shocks, poor melodrama and weird setpiece scenes that are often as muddled as they are pace breaking. Not to mention how the last two seasons seems to have taken place in some relative space-time where the sense of scale from the first seasons was thrown to the wind in favor of cool action.

The massive drop in quality notable after season 3, and much more so once the show overtook the books, leads me to believe that the showrunners will not be able to deliver a satisfying end to the show. Especially since ending long running shows well is really, really hard.

This is not a spoiler of me saying this but my prediction, the series is gonna end with a relatively "Good Ending" as in The Good Guys win in the end type of ending, but of course not without sacrifice and hardship.

Yeah, I'm fairly sure that's a safe bet. I don't hate what GoT has become since they ran out of books, but there's no denying the current showrunners can't handle subtlety. There's a reason the buildup to this last season has all the easily identifiably heroic characters all conveniently on the same side, fighting against two objectively terrible opposing forces. I'm alright with it, but I can only enjoy GoT post season 4 or so if I amend my expectations and see it as a generic action fantasy show, rather than the subtle political drama I originally fell in love with.

Predicting that Jorah Mormont will die, mabye Theon, MABYE Brienne of Tarth, and Varys. For all I know, Samwell will live and become Dany or Sansa's advisor or something since he may renounce his family line, I don't see Samwell being a Lord.

I agree with most of that death list. Varys got his death flag raised hella hard by Mellisandre in season 7... who was also kind enough to raise her own death flag in the same sentence. I think Brienne will live though. I feel like they'll have Jaime die after/while killing Cersei, though. I don't want that to happen, of course. The TV show kept Jaime shackled to his sister *way* after his book counterpart had told her where to stick it, and he deserves a fate independent of her... but the show kept the line about their fates being intertwined, and how they were born and would die on the same day.

And Jon Snow dying heroically defeating the Night King and Dany becoming Queen of a new Westeros? WHILE being pregnant with Jon's child?

I'll be genuinely shocked if they kill Jon, but I suppose I wouldn't hate it. Regardless, it feels like everything else about that scenario is fated for canon... although I feel like Dany will probably be the one who kills the king.

Princess Cadance shows up and takes the throne of swords.

Ugh....Bronies

 

[Worgen]

Princess Cadance shows up and takes the throne of swords.

Ugh....Bronies

Oh no, then a rival shows up and has captured her.

But then they all form a gang.

That would make game of thrones so much more interesting.

Pretty much my thoughts on this little conversation:

 

[Chimpzy_v1legacy]

My prediction is that the ending will be stupid.

Tho the jury's not out whether it'll be "stupid but fun" or "just plain stupid". Might be a mix of both.

Cersei is gonna die by hopefully Jaime's hands or annoyingly Arya's hands or both helps each other in killing Cersei. In addition to this, Cleganebowl will happen with The Hound fighting off Cerser's Bodyguard the Zombiefied Mountain.

Jon Snow will die in a heroic sacrifice in killing the Night King, Dany will become Queen of a the Targaryan Restoration Westeros, but with HEAVY Political Reforms to make life better and Dany will happily be pregnant with Jon Snow's kid since the whatever curse she had was either lifted or it never existed.

Sansa assumes the throne of Winterfell as Queen after Bran renounces his claim to the throne since of course he's not human anymore.

Predicting that Jorah Mormont will die, mabye Theon, MABYE Brienne of Tarth, and Varys. For all I know, Samwell will live and become Dany or Sansa's advisor or something since he may renounce his family line, I don't see Samwell being a Lord.

My thoughts:
Jamie kills Cersei;
Hound ends Mountain;
Tyrian kill Danny and becomes the next King: a Targarian.
Something is going down between the Knight King and Bran. They'll merge? If the dead win, that will be too anti climactic so I don't think will happen.
Sansa will be Warden of the North.
John Snow? I think he's dead meat.
