IMO they did a pretty good job foreshadowing. She was absolutely brutal in Astapor (justifiably), and was on her way in Meereen before being talked down by her advisors. This becomes a recurring theme: she wants to charge in and go scorched earth, Jorah/Varys/Tyrion/etc urge caution. And at the end, none of them were there any longer. Varys and Tyrion were rejected as traitors, Jorah, Missandei, Rhaegal, and Viserion all killed in her presence. It was just Dany, Drogon, grief, and rage at the end.
Going by the general reaction, it was probably a bit too subtle. But it’s pretty low on my list of GoT endgame sins.

what should be a multi month voyage is reduced to days
I think this is what got under my skin the most on the initial watch. Gendry just… running… all the way back to the wall, sending a raven for Dany, and her showing up for the rescue… what was that, like, 6 shots? It pulled me right out.
I kept that in mind during rewatch. What I started realizing is that the early seasons were able to cover passage of time by switching locations/storylines. There was a LOT going on in a bunch of places, and for the most part it was handled well. As the end approached, there were less locations/storylines as everything converged on the North and King’s Landing. So not only did the show lose having the books to fall back on, they also lost the ability to mask time skips. And this was not handled well at all. The result was jarring cuts and a rushed pace. I don’t think stretching the end out any further just for the sake of being longer would have been a net positive, let alone adding seasons of what would have amounted to filler. But there had to have been a better way to avoid those self inflicted faceplants.

I have no idea who that is
I know exactly who this is, even without the username tip-off. Here’s what their record looked like in September:
I happened across the user when looking into a string of -1’s on brand new posts in a small community. They were all the same person, and that person downvoted 244 times for each upvote.
This on its own is not normal behavior. Combine it with this user’s comments - which are pretty much completely on brand for the average Lemmy user - and it becomes even more bizarre.

It’s been a minute since I was at a retail store for opening. But it was always the Hot Wheels guys that did the whole speed-walking to the car aisle routine. My ass was regular-walking to the action figure aisle, like a normal person.
