I think it can be fun to check out fan theories, but people take them too seriously. Like fans get pissed when wrong and somehow still pissed when right.
the point is people care(d) about this show and spent their personal time becoming invested in the story, the characters, and to see how it all ends so to say anyone WANTS to be let down is fucking absurd but focus on that one example sure
I’d never get mad for someone talking about fan theories but I think it’s bad, personally. Just my opinion.
the ones that get too invested I think are. If you're at the point where you're reading lots of fan theories online, I feel like you're asking to get let down to a certain extent because you're getting caught up in all the ways the story could go and then when it doesn't go that way, its a let down to think of what 'could have been'.
I think we can all agree though that whatever the next cultural phenomenon is that takes over our televisions we stand together and petition that it cannot be aired on Sunday nights so we’re not all half dead at work tomorrow.
I can’t fathom this. Like yeah I definitely understand if someone is completely over the top wedded to a theory it’s not a good look, but isn’t that like half the fun of a show like this?
I like what this episode and the ending is going for but don't feel like it's earned. Is that an okay statement?
cant believe that lady who has long been insanely entitled, violent, bitter, vengeful, paranoid, and obsessed with power did that. thought she was better than that.
What do you like talking about for shows that are still airing? Just past stuff? Genuinely curious because I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone say that they don’t like talking about what is to come.
I’m not talking about discussing what might happen in the next episode, I’m talking about “fan theories” in the sense of things like “Bran is the Night King” or “Snoke is Darth Plagueis” or whatever.
It all circles back to it being rushed. It’s not my story, so it’s not my place to say how it should end. But the decision making this season has been puzzling. All I know is that if the final two books ever come out they skyrocket to must-read status.
