21 of the best reactions that sum up THAT Game of Thrones finale
It's been a week, but the Internet remembers and the memes keep coming.
The epic fantasy series Game of Thrones came to an end on the May 19th after eight seasons.
Fans finally saw who ruled the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros and the fate of their favourite characters.
And with a very divided ending, fans had a lot to say about the entire situation, either being critical of the story and writing or complimentary of the character development and cinematography.
Here are some of the best reactions and be warned, there will be spoilers!
1.) Why, D&D? WHY?

I’m sure we are all asking the same question…why?
2.) Music brings everyone together
While season 8 might not have been everyone’s cup of tea, can we all agree the OST is once again, insane. #GameofThrones pic.twitter.com/6Vr5o23ac4

Ramin Djawadi is a maestro – FACTS!

Clearly, not everyone was happy with the ending – but at least we have the final book to look forward to! Where is it, George R.R. Martin?
5.) The combat we deserved.
that wouldve been so awesome #GameOfThrones pic.twitter.com/li6D6r4Gac

Two men mourning their lost loves – one for justice and one for duty. We deserved to see this combat more than anyone wants to admit.
6.) Appreciating the Neville Longbottom glow-up that NO-ONE expected

Despite how the series ended, Lord Robin Arryn’s glow-up left everyone shook!
7.) Why Bran, WHY?
so you’re telling me the whole ass reason bran told sam that jon was aegon targaryen was so he could fucken ruin daenerys and have jon murder her so he could be the fucken kinG of the six kingdoms,,, what a fucken piece of shiT #gameofthrones pic.twitter.com/7WK1kKvtNK
— natasha ☾ (@midtown_spidey) May 22, 2019
Really, Bran? Are you going to do your own brother like that?
8.) Coming to terms with something we already knew.
I’ve given it a lot of thought and maybe, in the end, the one thing we can all agree about is that pets are better than humans. #GameofThrones pic.twitter.com/YhKZYkG3Bv

Ghost and Drogon were loyal to the end, even if their owners were not.
9.) Reality in fantasy
“The Bells” will probably be the episode that will help #GameOfThrones to earn few more Emmys.
It was truly horrific and I loved their decision to put Arya on the ground to showcase the horror of the war through the eyes of common people. pic.twitter.com/c2WJGgZft5— Sakun Sankalana (@Sakun_SD) May 22, 2019
There was no denying from anyone that episode 5 was truly horrific – but a reality to so many.
10.) Analysing the terrible writing
Ah luv u#GameOfThrones pic.twitter.com/bPpTZdBuDm

For someone who played such a big role, you think he’d have more to say…
11.) Life lessons maybe?
When you don't contribute to the group project & still get an A

Let’s be real – we ALL know a Bran Stark.
12.) When no words can describe how you feel
The end of #GameOfThrones left me like: pic.twitter.com/J2SphXIfbg

Just…meh.
13.) Appreciating the positives

— Benjamin Button's #1 fan (@cat_lady_1) May 21, 2019
Even bad things have good parts.
14.) This might be taking it a bit too far
Some people are taking the #GoT finale a little too hard… pic.twitter.com/35MmPCwDA3
— The Daily Show (@TheDailyShow) May 21, 2019
It’s fine to be upset, but therapy over the ending of a show? Really?
15.) THAT epic shot
“You’re a dragon. Be a dragon.” #GameOfThrones
— Jon Snow (@caffrey05) May 22, 2019
Everyone could agree – this shot was the best one of the entire season!
16.) When the villain’s actions start to make sense.

— alyihab (@alyihab17) May 20, 2019
IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!
17.) Women deserve better

when you're a complex female character who deserves a powerful, well-written ending but you can't naturally have children and you're written by male writers: pic.twitter.com/nrd9tuqPng— Jem (@Jem_JustJem) May 20, 2019
Taking the glory away from women – one franchise at a time.
18.) Where have we seen this before?

WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO US?
19.) Cue the political jokes

There will be many, many more of these coming your way, courtesy of Brexit and the 2020 elections.
20.) The irrelevance of so many scenes.
oh my god #gameofthrones pic.twitter.com/C0RpMVqodM
— k (@wtvrkathleen) May 22, 2019
Oh, look, another arc that was made to be significant but had no impact on the finale.
21.) Now what?
What do we do now that #Endgame is here and #GameOfThrones is over? pic.twitter.com/aJfYVrigx8

Despite anyone’s feelings over the finale, accepting it is all over might take a bit longer for us to come to terms with. We join our Marvel brothers and sisters as we now find something else to do with our time.
