Game of Thrones season 8 has landed a spot in the lists of one of the most unsatisfying series finale, competing with Lost and How I Met Your Mother. For over 11 years fans waited to learn who will sit on the Iron thrones and rule the seven kingdoms. Turns out, it was Bran Stark - a twist that next to no one expected. Writers David Benioff and Dan Weiss were criticised by fans for penning down this end. But turns out, they are not the ones to blame. In an interview, Isaac Hempstead-Wright has revealed the real person behind this update on the show. It was none other than George R R Martin, the author of the books that inspired the show. Game of Thrones Actor Isaac Hempstead Wright (Bran Stark) Calls Petition to Redo Season 8 ‘Ridiculous and Absurd’.

Isaac Hempstead-Wright told HBO in an interview about the end of the series. He said, "David and Dan told me there were two things [author] George R.R. Martin had planned for Bran, and that was the Hodor revelation, and that he would be king," Sophie Turner Has THIS to Say About Game Of Thrones Makers Using Rape as a Plot Device to Make Sansa Stark a Strong Character.

He further added, "So that's pretty special to be directly involved in something that is part of George's vision. It was a really nice way to wrap it up." So, there's that. If you are upset with Bran becoming the King you need to stop going after the writers. George R R Martin is your man.

There was a petition going viral online which demanded that the final season of Game of Thrones be remade. The petition garnered over million signatures from fans worldwide. Bran had called the petition 'absurd' and 'ridiculous'.

The final season of Game of Thrones is least favoured season on Rotten Tomatoes. Even after two weeks, talks about GoT refuse to die down. Let's see what cultural impact the finale has in the coming years.
