While time usually softens criticism, the ending of Game of Thrones is still widely disliked. As other popular shows like Stranger Things and The Boys have approached their finales, Game of Thrones is often cited as a cautionary tale of how things can go wrong. For a long time, many believed the finale had destroyed interest in the show, and the idea that people had stopped talking about Game of Thrones became a common sentiment online. However, despite the continued criticism of the ending, the franchise as a whole remains popular and hasn’t suffered any lasting damage.
