The reaction of Isaac Hempstead-Wright, star of Game of Thrones, to the adverse reaction of season 8 clarifies the turn of Dany

The actor, who plays the role of Bran Stark over the last decade, explained how strange he was to see fans react to the events of season 8, while he knew what would happen last year. "It was really fun to watch episode 3 [“The Battle of Winterfell”]. It's a bit like I expected everyone to participate. It was really fun to watch people go crazy, "explained Hempstead-Wright, adding," I've lived with this information in my head for a year, it's almost not so important to to see it out, in a way, I know it and I had my reactions a very long time ago. to watch people have their big emotional reactions? I've had so long to come to grips with it, so to speak. "

From there, Hempstead-Wright reflects on the reaction that Thrones received as a result of the penultimate episode of the series," The Bells ", in which Dany Ignited King's Landing and Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-). Waldau) returned to die with Cersei (Lena Headey). "[ Game of Thrones is] unpredictable by nature. The fact that the characters do not do what people want them to do? It's a good thing, "he said." The fact that people get angry and have a big emotional reaction? This is the reason why Game of Thrones succeeded. That does not do what everyone wants them to do. "

This emotional response to" The Bells "recently pushed a fan of to launch Game of Thrones with the aim of launching a petition asking HBO to remake season 8 "with competent writers", which has collected nearly a million signatures (at the time of the press) from admirers also moved. although the idea seems to have received wide support from Thrones fans who were heartbroken to see Dany's pbadage from hero to villain, Hempstead-Wright finds it all "absurd" "Laughing, the actor said:" It is ridiculous that people think that they can simply ask for a different end because they do not like it. I stupidly took it personally enough, which I obviously should not. In my opinion, it is an excellent ending. "

" Dany is a brilliant character who has done so many fabulous things and has saved so many people, "said Hempstead-Wright, defending the series' decision to let her follow the deadly footsteps of her father." People complained that they had not planned enough things. But sometimes, she has demonstrated a capacity for brutality. She waits for years and years to go to Westeros and take what is hers. … She is sick of it. She is fed up and she has lost her mind. I do not think it's a plot plot that's shocking to shock. I think it's an authentic development of the character.

Hempstead-Wright is not the only star of Thrones to feel that way. On May 17, Jacob Anderson, who plays Gray Worm, told TMZ that the petition "was nil", but that he "does not know" if the fans will be satisfied with the end of the show.

Hempstead-Wright also does not know if fans will appreciate the last episode of Game of Thrones explaining to THR that "personally, I think that It's a very smart way to "tie everything up," but adding that there's still a lot of twists. "The next episode, again, will not please everyone," he said. "There will be times when people go," No! Why did this happen? "But these are necessary moments, they all contribute to a conclusion Game of Thrones interesting."

No matter what happens in the final of the series from Game of Thrones on May 19, it is clear that the series will remain true to its shocking and subversion origins of the genre until the very end. And while the actors admit that there is never any way to please everyone, it seems a bit rude to ask them to redo all their work, in the hope of making a difference. get a different end.
