Sophie Turner Slams The Game Of Thrones Season 8 Petition: "It's Disrespectful"

It is clearly disrespectful. People who sign a petition to re-do the season are intending disrespect. They feel dissatisfied with the season and are sending a signal of their dissatisfaction and lack of respect for the product provided and the people who produced it. Whether it's warranted or not is another discussion, but it is accurate that it is disrespectful to sign such a petition. I would assume that's the obvious intent, more than our of any genuine hope to have a final season "redone."

lets get one thing right. In all honesty i praise the writers for what they put together in 6 episodes. Sure it had many plot holes etc but they did what the could do in the time period. Everyone is blaming the writers like its their fault. To me it wasnt the writer fault at all they did what they could do. I 100% blame HBO HBO gave them 6 episodes to finish out the series when the writers knew the viewers knew this needed atleast 2 more seasons consisting of 10 episodes per.

And people kill me with this petition crap. You take 3 seconds of your time to sign a free petition. And you expect HBO to say oh well nearly 2 million people virtually signed a piece of paper i guess we're forced to spend 50 million dollars to re-shoot a show to make people happy. AHAHAHAHAHAH. Dumbasses.

The writers were disrespectful to the franchise because they wanted to hurry up and finish so they could move on to Star Wars.

I can’t blame them for being upset. The ending to Mass Effect 3 still upsets me. The fact that my choices never mattered at the end of that trilogy is still ridiculous. The EC made it a bit better, but it still was a big problem.

I'm pretty sure majority of those asking for it, are actually displeased with quality of writing and dialogues and time wasting on certain things and rushing some other things, as if characters are teleporting around the map, and it has been a problem with Season 7 too. As far as ending goes, I'm almost completely satisfied with it, and I believe that majority of those petitioning are accepting of it... other than part of those who are too dumb to see "Dany thing" coming, it's been building from Season 1 towards that.

Dear Headlines,
Stop using the term "Slams," it's almost always hyperbole

I don't think anyone is, or should be mad at the cast, cinematographers, or crew. The people everyone is mad at are the 2 idiot showrunners that completely botch the writing and producing a poorly rush product. Casey Blogs and Sophie Turner are naïve to think its anything else.

1.5 million people, that dont understand that grandstanding like this just makes the season more sensational and ratchets up the intrigue to even higher levels.

And an actress that either understands this or doesnt realize she's just emboldening the critics further.

Imagine if everyone just accepted S8 and moved on... The impact wouldn't be a fraction of what it's become.

The only ones who're in any kind of a vulnerable spot over this are really... nah, actually no one. 19 million viewers still nets the writers a blank check in Hollywood.

The 9% ratio of petitioners to viewers would just make some exec looking to hire them cream ther pants even harder. Controversy is great, free publicity.

What a hot young s l u t.

Best thing that came out of this for me was that i won $20 bucks on the method of death for one of S8 main characters.

This is pathetic

So they're saying that Game of Thrones is HBO's "Mass Effect 3"?

Maybe someone will make a movie franchise based on the books? There's always some greedy film maker out there looking for quick cash and GoT is a massive franchise.

People in the entertainment industry really need to grasp the concept that if you charge someone for something, it is a product, and at that point is valid to all types of scrutiny. Just because you worked hard on it doesn't make you exempt from it either.

With most jobs, people would be lucky to only have a petition (which they don't even have to act on) to deal with after such a level of criticism.

I don't understand. She said it is disrespectful to people who have worked on the show for the last decade -- yet people only signed a petition over season 8. Did season 8 take over a decade to create or is she being overdramatic?

I don't watch the show, so I wouldn't know.

"so she doesn't understand why people got so upset with how the story went in Season 8"

Because it was rushed. It's not the story as such, it's how it was told. Major event after major event with little to no build up in between. It was more like a summary of what happened in the season instead of a proper, full length season.

Your white privilege is showing, Ms. Turner. Imagine having to only work and deliver a subpar performance each time for a handful of days out of the year and then having the balls to tell people how they should act and lecture them about hard work.

Hardy, harrr, harrrr.

I find a little funny. It wasn't all that bad. But considering the author of the book has come out and say that the ending from the book may differ from the tv series is ironic.

I like when actors say fans are disrespectful. You know what's disrespectful? You being paid millions to play a character on a stage and then think you are anything but super lucky to be in the position you are in. Take the criticism and go back home to your nice house/apartment and let the rest of us armchair critics have our chance to complain.

You worked tirelessly for 11 months this last season? Cool story. The majority of us work tirelessly for 12 months, every year. Now I have good reason to dislike you both as a person and actress, nice job.

I don't have any strong opinions on this.

I read the headline quote in Sansa's voice.

I think they are right, people act they own a show, but at end you are viewer you enjoy or you don´t what you are watching and period. Imagine if artist had to remake their art just because people did not like it, it just does not makes sense. You create something people will admire or hate it and period. I think is salty to ask to remake it, to me feels like if someone had ask Leonardo Da Vinci to change the Mona Lisa (I am not refering in terms of quality) just because they did not like it, it is just plain stupid. There is a reason this was the last season because there is a point where is impossible to satisfy people and if they kept going it would end up very bad for the show.

who is Sansa Stark ?

Nobody like her anyway.

Really all they needed to do was make the battle for Winterfell better and it could have explained away a lot of bad in the rest of the season. They had way too much plot armor and blatant we did this or didn't do that due to budget issues and they made them painfully obvious. Her not showing any remorse after snapping (for no reason) and burning Kings landing isn't in her character at all especially when she locked her dragons up for killing one innocent child. She just filleted an entire city and was super cool with it.

I'm guessing she's not a big fan of the series?

I love her portrayal of Sansa and I sorta understand her frustration.

Imagine you and your team putting all your effort to a project and for the fandom to crap all over it and demand it to be redone, they must be feeling, as she puts it, disrespected.

I know a lot of people have said this, but GoT S8 was a masterpiece of TV in term of its production.

There's nothing wrong with the acting, directing, music, cinematography, nor the visual effects.

It's just the rushed writing that pissed a lot of people off.

And I know it really feels like GoT fandom are just a bunch of perfectionist nerds that wants everything to go their way.

But this is Game of Thrones we're talking about. One of the most groundbreaking and talked about show in the past decade.

Of course people will demand the best of everything for its final season.

And I do agree that making a petition is not the best solution for all of this.

But I kinda understand the need for them to do that because I think that they think this is the only way to make HBO and GoT creators heard their voice.

It's kinda like review-bombing a game on Steam.

I don't like the idea, but I understand why it happens.
