Enough normies were digging season 8 (Arya slay, Queen!) before the consensus told them not to. Regular film enjoyers saw the declining quality of writing season 5 onward. Actual fantasy diehards noticed the sudden absence of terrain and logistics, some inconsistent family loyalties, neglect of the magic and mystery of the show. And, Samwell's actor making the most LCD joke on late-night interview about him not losing weight North of the wall because dragons exist ROFL ecks dee! Normies accepting consequence free magic deserve a deportation to Haiti (resort enclave doesn't count).
