Which ending was worse?


These are the two most blatant examples of a well-received, pretty decent show jumping the shark and just becoming hated by their fanbase. Which was worse though?

Dexter.

I don't have an issue with the ending itself of GoT, just that the final season felt incredibly rushed.

Yeah I agree with that. The 'what' bothered me far less than the 'how'. The final season of Game of Thrones was clearly rushed

It wasn't just the last season of Game of Thrones that sucked though. I'd argue there's a clear drop in quality in seasons 5 and 6. Though, that's not as egregious as season 7, where the show truly jumped the shark. I don't see how anyone could think the whole plot to bring a White Walker to Cersei was good writing, let alone the deus ex machina of ravens and dragons flying at unheard of speeds all so Dany can swoop in and give the Night King a dragon. Season 7 was absolutely awful. The problems that would culminate in that abysmal last season were present as seeds as early as season 5. It's more than just a rushed last season.

GoT for me, Dexter was a dumb ending and just kinda dropped dead lol. It kinda left it open to revisit stuff ifyou wanted, but yeah it was dumb.

GoT's whole last season was stupid, some of it didn't even make sense, and they ruined entire character arcs that they had built up for years.

Arya had a totally unsatifying ending, but of the crap tastic endings she was the best.
The basically invalidated John Snow all together, his story no longer made sense at all.

Basically wasted Tyrion as well, Brenna, and of course the rushed part for Danny was dumb.

But the worst by far (in my opinion) is what they did to Jamie. That was unforgivable.

Arya SHOULD have gotten to kill Cercie (probably looking like Jamie)
John SHOULD have defeated the night king.
Danny could have gone mad, but, they had TONS of time to show the process in previous episodes and didn't use it. It was a major let down, while Dexter was more Meh to me.

GoT simply because early seasons were so damn good and set up expectations and then the later seasons they just quit trying and political intrigue and clever dialogue took a backseat to boring ass CG spectacles

the dexter finale was really bad but aside from a few seasons the show was not all that great imo, Michael C Hall isnt that great of an actor and so many of the characters were just one note through the whole damn show

I haven't seen GoT, but Dexter was a real let down. I'm hearing that they are making another season, so hopefully they get to make things right!

I guess that makes sense since they are returning to it, so...

Many people are hoping they fix things. I don't really know what they are going to do with the show, tbh... Or where they are going to go... Or start...

The special effects were literally the only thing I liked from the last season of GoT.

Well, and the memes too

Even then, the battle of Winterfell clearly could have been better without the budget restraints

It should've really ended up being a mercy killing by Jamie I think

Dexter is so bad, it's just stupid, and kinda amusing. Game of thrones is so bad, it destroyed all its values, and it's beyond pitiful.
