Andy Weir, the renowned author of 'The Martian' and 'Project Hail Mary', has weighed in on the highly debated finale of 'Game of Thrones'. In a Reddit AMA, Weir expressed his dissatisfaction with the final season, stating, 'I would rewrite the entire final season of 'Game of Thrones.' That's a given.' While his prose style may not be to everyone's taste, his storytelling prowess is undeniable. Weir's critique of the show's finale is particularly insightful, as he highlights the decline in quality between Season 6 and Season 7. The beloved characters, such as Tyrion Lannister and Daenerys Targaryen, became reduced to shallow caricatures, and the breakneck pace of the shortened seasons further dragged down the quality of the show. Weir's opinion is not isolated; many fans and critics share his sentiments. The finale's focus on which character had the 'best story' at the end, as Tyrion argues for Bran Stark, is a humorous commentary on the show's own narrative choices. Despite his prose pitfalls, Weir is a talented storyteller, and his unique perspective on the 'Game of Thrones' finale is worth considering. Perhaps, if 'the best story' is paramount, we should find out how Weir would structure the conclusion of 'Game of Thrones'. For now, fans can relive the (bad) final season on HBO Max, and 'Project Hail Mary' is available on VOD.
