Aaron Rodgers, speaking the truth.

The Packers QB is a massive Game of Thrones fan and even made a cameo in this most recent season. Like me, and probably you, he was unsatisfied with the series finale.

If you don’t watch the show, all you need to know is that the person who was given the throne, the throne for which the entire series is named,* was a boring peripheral character with little in the way of development or actual scripted lines. I’m serious. The guy just sat there in a wheel chair for most of the 8th season with very little to actually say or do, which is strange considering the fact that he has omniscient super powers, powers he obtained from a magical forest creature and a really old dude who was actually a tree. Or something like that.

Anyway, here’s Rodgers, after the jump:

Yes. Yes yes yes yes yes.

Tyrion had a better story, and Dany, Jon, Sansa, Arya, etc. Bran’s story, plus the entire Night King arc, was one of the least compelling branches of the entire series. And why does Tyrion, a prisoner, have a say in who sits on the throne anyway?

I didn’t hate the final season, maybe not to the degree others did, but I felt underwhelmed with the writing and the overall pacing, which really began when Benioff and Weiss ran out of book material to work from. I know you can’t please everybody, especially when you have multiple characters with complex and intersecting story arcs. There’s no perfect way to put a bow on it, but when you piss off 75% of your fan base, then you probably got it wrong.

Aaron Rodgers is one million percent correct.

*the throne itself was destroyed, but you get the point
