3 years after Game of Thrones ended, fans are still engrossed in “online protests” demanding a remake of HBO season 8
After officially ending almost 3 years ago, the name Game of Thrones seems to have begun to be forgotten and is no longer mentioned much. However, for die-hard fans of the series, they still can’t help but be relieved by the absurdly romantic ending to the season, which is supposed to be the best of Game of Thrones, but is gritty and worthy of shame.
That’s why after Game of Thrones ended in May 2019, fans invited each other to “protest” online, asking HBO to remake season 8 of the series with a more logical and satisfying script, after what the previous 7 seasons had built. They wrote a petition on Change.org and garnered as many supporters’ signatures as they could, hoping that HBO would consider it and come up with a more worthy ending to Game of Thrones.
After almost 3 years, Game of Thrones fans are still diligently signing the petition asking HBO to recreate season 8.
After almost 3 years, the fans still don’t seem to have given up hope. As of this writing, their petition has received more than 1.85 million signatures, with the most recent being about 5 hours ago. “Tywin Lannister” Charles Dance once shared that if someone wrote a petition to remake season 8 of Game of Thrones, he was “ready to sign it immediately”. And “Jaime Lannister” Nikolaj Coster-Waldau revealed himself almost in detail in support of the fan campaign, but then said it was time to let Game of Thrones rest.
Game of Thrones fans clearly have reason to hold on to their hopes. Previously, DC fans also carried out a similar campaign called Release the Snyder Cut to enlist Warner Bros. released the Justice League film according to the original vision and idea of director Zack Snyder. The reason for the birth of this campaign is similar to Game of Thrones: The version released in 2017 was too bad and did not live up to audience expectations.
Finally in March 2021, Zack Snyder’s cut was finally released on HBO Max, with a script that was fuller, more coherent, and above all, more satisfying to fans. It’s the clearest motivation and proof for Game of Thrones fans to continue to hope for a worthy ending to their favorite series.
Game of Thrones is still in HBO’s plans, but not in the way fans think.
On the other hand, HBO has not completely removed Game of Thrones from its plans, as they are developing a prequel series called House of the Dragon, which is expected to premiere later this year. Based on the Fire & Blood book series by George RR Martin, set nearly 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, it revolves around the process of the Targaryen family conquering Westeros.
And if Game of Thrones fans’ wishes don’t come true, they can still hope for the novel version of the series, A Song of Ice and Fire. Currently, writer Martin is still in a rush to finish the final two stories, The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring, with the promise of a different ending than the TV version.
