These two are utter buffoons. In a brand new, revealing interview with The Wall Street Journal, Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have once again proven how stupid they truly are!
Just how stupid are these fools?
Despite flying under the radar and letting the nuclear fallout of Game of Thrones die down, Dumb and Dumber decided to make sure the world knew just how arrogant and moronic they really are in a brand-new interview with The Wall Street Journal. And, just as a warning, what they said about the last season of GOT will really get your blood boiling!
Dumb and Dumber, perhaps the two most arrogant and BRAINDEAD showrunners in all of Hollywood, have essentially attributed the failure of Game of Thrones to the Discovery-Time Warner merger and not being able to film the final two seasons of the show as a film trilogy. Yeah…you read that right.
David Benioff and D.B. Weiss REALLY and ORIGINALLY wanted to abandon the series-style format of the show in favor of making a blockbuster film trilogy out of the final two season. I mean, how STUPID can these two ass cracks actually be? Not only would this have been a terrible idea given the fact that Game of Thrones was created as a television show for people to weekly watch AT THEIR HOMES, but it also would have stripped away the most fundamental elements of the show.
You know, things like nuanced and detailed character work!
There’s a reason why trimming the final two seasons down to just half 1.3X (13 episodes vs. the normal 10 episodes of one season) what a normal season would have been was an asinine thing to do. Why? It’s because the characters, such as Tyrion, Daenerys, Jaime, Cersei, Jon Snow, Arya, Sansa, The Night King, etc., were not given enough screen time and space to organically grow as they had so in the past.
Making Seasons 7 and 8 into a film trilogy would have been an even WORSE bastardization than what we got for the series not only would have completely abandoned its television audience (you know, the only thing it ever had), but it would have had maybe half of runtime of Season 8.
Now, the Lord of the Rings is perhaps the greatest film trilogy ever and the extended editions make up nearly 12 hours of runtime for character growth, plots, battles, combat, romance, etc., yet even that was not NEARLY enough to adapt all of the content from J.R.R Tolkien’s legendary novels. And that was a project with the best in class for every element of filmmaking.
GO’s final two seasons did not have the best in class in its writing or directing, and those two seasons combined for runtimes of approximately 16 hours and 30 minutes. Imagine if these two seasons only had the 12 hours like the Lord of the Rings or even less? The show/film trilogy would have been an absolutely FRANCHISE-ENDING DISASTER (which it already almost was), and it all would have all been due to D&D’s arrogance and unmitigated desire to create films (which they jumped right into for Netflix as soon as the show ended).
Thank the TV gods that Warner Bros. and HBO used their brains for once and rejected Dan and David’s arrogant proposal.

Anyway, I have to give D&D a little sympathy when it comes to their claims about the Discovery-Time Warner merger as I assume it would be quite difficult to ensure proper backing, quality control, and investment from the studio as they’re in the process of being sold to another completely different conglomerate.
Plus, if true, the higher ups of AT&T (who owned Warner Bros. during the end of GOT) asking for the show to be filmed vertically to fit on phones shows their complete lack of regard for quality entertainment and only for profits. And that’s a massive issue to overcome.
Nevertheless, nobody demanded D&D to cram down the final two seasons of the show into 13 episodes, while HBO most CERTAINLY did not want to end the show after just eight seasons. That’s all down to D&D being greedy, overly ambitious pricks…and that’s what destroyed Game of Thrones.
