Many people speculate that HBO was affected by the hacker leak, and it was under tremendous pressure to modify the plot direction of the final season of "Game of Thrones". Unfortunately, after Season 8 aired, viewers threw Rotten Eggs on HBO and even started a petition on Change.org asking for an official remake of the season. Previously, HBO had turned a deaf ear to the audience's petition, and it was not until the recent summer press conference that it gave an explanation.

Although fans ask for it, the studio doesn't necessarily have to listen to them. But in the days and weeks after the petition was filed, several GoT cast members and creative team members have voiced their opinions.
Sadly, HBO has not given an "official statement" until now. Of course, HBO's attitude is still worthy of recognition for the fact that HBO no longer ignores the "elephant in the room".
Variety reports that during the TCA summer press tour, HBO programming director Casey Bloys said: "A hit series that is very popular with fans, obviously there are not too many shortcomings."
One thing I can think of is that when a show ends, there are always a lot of people who are unhappy with the way the show is going. The petition shows great enthusiasm and anticipation for the show, but it's not something we should seriously consider.
The explanation of HBO executives obviously has his reasons. But Bloys' remarks did not resolve the grievances of fans. As foreign media has previously stated, the end of the GoT season does not mean the end of the injury.
Fans focus on how a show should end, and GoT S8's plot annoys most viewers. Even if everyone was mentally prepared for the heartbreak ending, HBO could have done better.
Marvel's "Avengers 4: Endgame" is a good example. At least the screenwriter worked hard to fill in the remaining holes while writing the characters that the audience loved. In contrast, the DB brothers are literally feeding the audience * .
Tomorrow (17th) the epic series "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" will celebrate its 10th anniversary.
Winter is coming
The official Twitter post hinted that "big things are coming." I don't know if I finally responded to the millions of people who signed up to remake the eighth season, or I just wanted to remind everyone to watch the Game of Thrones spin-off "House of the Dragons" that will be broadcast next year.
