Vi kan vist alle sammen bliver enige om, at modtagelsen af den sidste og afsluttende Game of Thrones-sæson var en kende lunken. Om ikke andet er det ikke den universelle ros som serien har været vant til tidligere. Faktisk er den sidste sæson den værst anmeldte, og fans verden over har udtrykt deres utilfredshed på diverse kanaler og fora i ugevis.
Nu svarer HBO-chefen Casey Bloys så igen på den negative respons via et interview med Deadline, hvor han på overraskende vis afslører, at han ikke er overrasket.
"No. To tell you the truth, for a show this big and this sprawling and for a show that has this passionate a fan base, I don't think there is any way that all fans would've been happy. I think based on online reaction, which you do have to take with a grain of salt, it does seem split and I think that's about right — some people are going to love it, some people are going to hate it. But the point is, everybody is feeling really passionate about it."
"I think everybody had hopes for where the characters might go or should go. But Dan and David have had a plan for how they wanted the show to go for a long time, and they did it the way they thought fit as creators. I think they did a spectacular job. They landed a big plane, which was not easy. You are never going to keep everybody happy, but I don't think that's what they were trying to do."
Er du enig med Bloys om at responsens har været "split"?
