• What are the problems with many of the story fixes
  • Game of Thrones was inspired by the past.
  • It was meant to take a Tolkien like story and subversion
  • Execution caused most of the problems, not what happened.
• Daenerys should be queen and/or
• Jon Snow should be King
  • No just know
• John Snow should have killed the Night King
  • Not as such
• Kings Landing should not have burned
  • Who could be king
  • Gendry
  • Ellaria Sand
  • Sansa Stark (The starks are the White Roses)
• Bran should not be King and John Snow should have at least hugged Ghost
  • Okay, cannot argue that
• Lessons for storytellers
  • Beware of breaking tropes
  • People seem to want Disney Fantasy
    • A little messy and scary at the beginning and tied up in a neat bow at the end
  • Monday Morning Quarterbacks will appear either way if your story becomes popular
  • Use character development not shock to change the course of a narrative.
