the series ended with sansa as queen of the north, does that count for anything with regards to female rulers? no?

That's not really a bad take though. D&D could have addressed it by showing other competant women, (like Yara or Sansa) but they decided to not take the time to flesh them out and welp here we are.

no-one who sat on the throne was both good and competent (inc ned in that one scene). The last council scene shows bran acting like robert did. it's a bad take.

Sansa is the only main character who comes out this season with a decent character arc ends up in an empowered position. Also while it's hilarious Yara goes along with the king electorate nonsense, she does become the queen of the pirates which is a pretty great job description.

But they don't count because they aren't blindly idolized by the most insufferable social issue co-opting fans.

The end result is something that really ought to be expected when the showrunners have complete control over the final product. It seems there was zero input from anyone else involved.

So what's the point of exiling Jon to the Wildling lands (which is the most positive part of the show since he gets to hang out with Thormund) if the Unsullied left aboard ships to die from the fever on Naath anyway right after?

What's the point of the night's watch since wildlings and northerners are now mostly buddies. No wights or the like remain so they'll just hang out at castle black until they die since no one has food anymore since it was all in KL and the dragon burnt it to a crisp?

Why did Jon turn himself in after stabbing Dany without ensuring he had backup? No one saw him stab her and Drogon left with the corpse, for all the unsullied know she's just making GBS threads herself in a field.

Bran did absolutely fking nothing once more and he gets all the credit for warging into ravens and being 100% ineffectual against the NK... also the three -eyed raven lived for a thousand years before him so I guess it definitely fixes the hereditary power thing for a couple generations...

This finale makes less and less sense the more I think about it which I shouldn't bother doing anyway.

Yeah, Sansa is the only woman who acts as if she has any agency at all in the finale, and even then she is just acting as a mouthpiece for the lords of the North. It is perfectly legitimate to say that a show that had long marketed itself as having lots of powerful female characters should probably not end with all the female characters dead or sidelined.

like, i'm not saying GoT is great when it comes to women, it just seems wierd to talk about how it won't let women rule when it literally ends with a woman taking the biggest of the kingdoms and daring anyone to say poo poo about it

yara deserved bettter though, i won't argue

I don't mind if characters die but in the end none of them had any real impact one anyone (Tyron looks at the audience, SHE BROKE THAT WHEEL IN THE END GUYS faaaaaart, Jon just fucks off)

She started wearing Bad Guy poo poo since she appeared in Westeros tbh, but the costumers love goth prom dresses (see Sansa)

I don't disagree, but the makers of the show definitely marketed it as being feminist in the later seasons. They really played up the "look at all these powerful women!" narrative.

people give the costume designer gets a lot of credit for the symbolism etc that she puts into the outfits, but she put like half the cast in black leather. the mountain looked like TMNT shredder. everyone looked like fantasy ninjas.
