Hafthor Björnsson was not only the strongest man in the world and with his impressive stature he embodied the character Cregor “The Mountain” Clegane in Game of Thrones. He is now also a successful Twitch streamer. In one of his most recent appearances, he mourned an alleged 9th season of the hit series GoT.
Hardly any series in the past decade has been as successful as Game of Thrones. In eight seasons we experienced the battle for the Iron Throne of Westeros, as well as the encounter between humans and the White Walkers. Unfortunately, hardly any series had such an unsatisfactory ending for many viewers. After the eighth and last season, many former fans hardly gave the series a good hair and gave the two producers Benioff and Weiss the buck.
The ending was rushed, had too many twists and turns too fast and hardly any space for logical character development. Many fans are therefore currently pinning their hopes on the spin-off House of Dragon, which will be broadcast from August 21, 2022. Others continue to mourn the mother series.
The mountain understands the critics
Hafthor Bjornsson, who is probably better known to most as Gregor “Der Berg” Clegane, doesn’t see it that extreme. He understands the fans’ criticism, even if he still calls the show great and the ending good. But it also thinks that too much action was simply stuffed into the final six episodes, which caused the ending to suffer.
The producers should have given themselves more time and, in his opinion, should have added another season to better accommodate the amount of narrative. That would have smoothed things out a bit, which would certainly have led to a more satisfying ending.
But even if he can understand the anger of the fans, he speaks out at every opportunity against the immense hatred that rained down on the series creators in the course of the final season. You can be dissatisfied with the outcome of the story and criticize it, but there is no room for hate comments in the discussion.
