Peter Dinklage talked about Game of Thrones series finale, “The Iron Throne,” and he is right in his praise. Five years ago, Game of Thrones' the ending is always very divisive, and is still often held up as a good example of how not to finish the TV show. Things like Daenerys Targaryen's death at the hands of Jon Snow, and Bran Stark becoming king, were mocked during the broadcast and agreed upon, as if there was one show watched by tens of millions of people, that didn't change.
However, not everyone likes the ending, and as one of the main things Game of Thrones members, Dinklage's words carry weight. He previously defended “The Iron Throne,” and when asked about it recently, Dinklage backed it up Game of Thrones' he concluded, saying:
Again, just my opinion. I like the ending! You don't have to agree with me. What if I said, 'Yes, I agree. I hated the ending. The whole of last season was horrible'? I mean, that would always be worse than if I said I liked it, I did. I can't speak for someone else's opinion, and that's what makes what we do fun, because everyone has different opinions and everyone gets to write about it and talk about it and drink about it and argue about it. Good. I mean, I think it means you're doing something right. It's like an old Irish way of looking at the world. Something is wrong when everything is going well. (Laughs.)
Peter Dinklage Is Right: Game Of Thrones' Series Finale Is Great
“Iron Throne” Not Perfect, But Satisfying
Dinklage's comments are his opinion and come from the position of someone who has worked on the show for nearly a decade, making it clear that he would like to protect it. It may not be the most popular idea of how Game of Thrones season 8 ended, but I can't help but agree with him. I loved the ending so much, and I absolutely loved parts of it. It wasn't perfect and, as Dinklage said, there's nothing wrong with a difference of opinion (which also shows they didn't play it safe), but for me, it worked.

After Daenerys burned down King's Landing, her fate was inevitable. His villainous turn could have had more time to develop, but those “fire and blood” elements have long been part of his arc. His execution in the ash-filled throne room, so close to the thing he's been looking for and dying in front of you – by someone he loves, no less – is a good and bad ending for one of the show's main characters. characters. What Jon had to do was also appropriate, fitting in well with the themes of work, honor, and love that were prevalent throughout his stage.
Seeing (the Starks) say goodbye makes me feel real, and the last 15-20 minutes following their various journeys… comes close to being the perfect way to wrap up their stories.
Bran being king was also a smart decision, even if, again, it could have been better. Sure, it would have explained more about his Three-Eyed Raven identity (and he definitely shouldn't have cut him in season 5 if that was the plan), but he's a solid player. Being king is out of character for Jon, especially after killing Dany; Bran is the one person who can literally see the past and learn from itand does not require energy. It may not break a tire, but it's pretty close Thrones I could reasonably find.
As for the rest of the Starks, their endings are my favorite part of the series finale. Seeing them say goodbye makes me really emotional, and the last 15-20 minutes follow their separate journeys – Sansa as Queen; Arya sails to the West; Jon returns to the far North – he comes close to being the perfect way to close their affairs. Ultimately, “The Iron Throne” is shocking, poignant, and bittersweet, which is why I think Dinklage is right about it.
Game of Thrones Gave Tyrion Lannister the Right Ending
Him Being the Hand of the King Makes Sense
If you look at Dinklage's comments on Game of Thrones' the end of the series, it is worth considering his character. Tyrion's influence was somewhat diminished before season 8, episode 6, but he influences things in a big way in “The Iron Throne,” from helping Jon see that he must kill Daenerys, to driving Bran to be made king of Westeros. The last example of Tyrion pulling the strings and using his wits and intelligence to get his way, or at least do what he thinks is right, is why his ending makes sense.
Tyrion being the Hand of the King, and returning to the King's Goodness, is a good ending for him.
Tyrion being the Hand of the King, and returning to the King's Goodness, is a good ending for him. Tyrion's (and Dinklage's) best work came in the capital of Westeros: His best scene is his trial speech in season 4, but his best arc of the entire season is as Hand of the King in season 2. Tyrion returns to that in the end, but in a way more weary of disaster than triumphant in the aftermath. what happened to Daenerys, is well worth her journey.
Another part of Tyrion's role in the Game of Thrones' series finale is often mocked, and that's his line “who has a better story than Bran the Broken?” Even this, however, I think makes sense: first, Bran it was necessary they are on a wonderful journey, what is the problem? Game of Thrones he told the viewers. But mostly for Tyrion, who has always had a soft spot “cripples, bastards, and broken things,” then he supports Bran and is very impressed with his story in action.
Game Of Thrones' Had Big Trouble For Tyrion Long Before The Series Finale
The Show Has Always Knew What To Do With Tyrion In Future Seasons
Although I agree with Dinklage's words about Game of Thrones' finally, there are problems with looking at Tyrion's arc as a whole. As smart as he was in King's Landing, once he was out there, it always felt like the show didn't really know what to do with his character. Part of this comes from going beyond the books, but also from changing them: Tyrion gets darker and more hateful over time. A Song of Ice and Fire novels, and Game of Thrones especially to avoid this.
Because of that, it meant that Tyrion was sidelined a bit. “I drink and I know things” may have been one of Tyrion's best quotes, but most of the time the first part of that was accurate. Tyrion was stuck in Meereen without the same level of influence, and even when he returned to Westeros, he made some really bad decisions – really, I'd argue the plot to capture the wight was the single stupidest idea anyone had in all eight seasons. .
5 of Tyrion Lannister's Best Quotes:
- “Let me give you some advice, whore. Never forget what you are, the whole world will not. Wear it like armor, and it will not be used to harm you.” – season 1, episode 1.
- “I'm going to hurt you with this. There will come a day when you think you are safe and happy, and your happiness will turn to ashes in your mouth. And you will know that the debt is paid.” – season 2, episode 8.
- “I wish I was the monster you think I am.” – season 4, episode 6.
- “These are brave men who knocked on our door. Let's go and kill them!” – season 2, episode 9.
- “It's not easy to stay drunk. Everyone would do it if it was easy.” – season 3, episode 10.
She wasn't always a good mentor to Daenerys, and I think her transformation into the “Mad Queen” would have worked better with the dark Tyrion encouraging her (which I think will happen in the books), rather than trying to get rid of her. that way. Anyway, I think they got him back on track at the end Game of Thrones and gave him an important role in the end, which was only suitable for someone who was one of the main actors of the show (and Dinkklage one of the main actors).
