The harsh reality is that, hamfisted execution aside, a lot of the really contentious plot points in GoT Season 8 probably came from George, not from the Daves. Daenerys going full Richard III was almost certainly Martin's intention, and that bullshit about Bran becoming King because "best storytellers make the best decisions" is right up George's conceited, self-indulgent alley.
George rightfully gets a lot of criticism, but I could see all of those retarded aspects of the ending at least being built up properly if done by someone who cares. Granted, George himself probably isn't even going to do it, so eventually some other asshole will probably come along and try to accomplish it after his death.
