Because they buried the release.

That's getting worse and worse when something will get picked up by one particular streaming service. At least when a film only got a release in a handful of theaters for two weeks it could pick up a following on video. Now they're stuck on some niche service to die. Even if you're interested, most people are subscribing just for one thing. So that further hurts the word of mouth that cult hits need to propagate.

They would have struggled a lot less if they had thrown out less.

The writers took out a lot, but they seemed to disregard the difficulty of writing plot to replace what they cut.

Dondarrion being just an extra sword is a result of the writers cutting the end of his story and then having to come up with more for him to do.

Maybe if they had let him die bringing back Stoneheart, we wouldn't have had to suffer through the "seven dudes try to capture a zombie for some reason" plot line. Beric would be dead, Thoros and Gendry would be with the Brotherhood under Stoneheart.

i think its something closer to the road. not to spoil but the show takes place a lot further in than most shows. its not about the fall of civilization its a very intimate/character focused story about how people deal with their trauma and learn to live again after spending a long time just surviving. its not super action packed. i know that makes it sound cheesy but its not lol

Yeah, but this is a bit different from most. The season is literally completed. It could be aired immediately. There is no further production that needs to be done unless they wanted to make another season. I'd be stoked about that, but I at least hope someone buys the rights to air season 2.

I’ve loved this movie since I’ve been a kid, I still quote it. ā€œWell I come from the Texasā€ and ā€œI’ll try to BE AS QUIET AS POSSIBLE!ā€ It’s a great movie that holds up even now
