There is no conflict
I think hotd writers think “a grey conflict”This means that nobody is to blame and everything must be an accident

HotD has a problem. The writers want people to pick a team, so they are changing intentional acts into accidents to make each side look good. Instead of it being a war for the throne it’s a series of misunderstandings that get out of control.

Many fans felt the show was trying too hard to keep the characters relatable and likable at the expense narrative conflict. They felt that they could have kept the show going. “rooting for”The protagonists of either side were equally as ambitious, lustful for power and even more murderous than the other.
Comparisons
one thing about the lannisters, you’ll never see them starting a war over a misunderstanding or kiIIing people on accident, trust that they meant that shit and they’d do it again #hotd pic.twitter.com/pWAuZ03x5Y

It’s like HotD looked at the GoT feedback and went “we hear you, henceforth all atrocities will be committed on accident.”
Just give me my show about war criminals. Is this really so hard?

HOTD is too afraid to have a great enemy like Cersei. Everything is just an ‘accident’Oder ‘misunderstanding’. They would have made Cersei “accidentally” kill Robert & Joff accidentally killed Ned in GOT S1 🤦♀️

These characters’ motives were compared to the motivations of The Simpsons. Game of ThronesAccording to him, the first seasons of Westeros had more backstabbing and scheming than the main series. However, they didn’t worry about how audiences would react. Some felt that this was an exaggerated reaction to the controversial finale of the main series.

The emerging was defended by many fans “accidents”However, it didn’t negate years of tension and hostility between the characters. Some thought that Luke’s hesitation before killing him by Aemond humanized him, but it did not absolve him.

Okay, but were there any maesters in the air documenting this fight?
Maybe it was an accident🤷♀️— House Hightower’s Lawyer 🙏 (@1eunoiaT) October 22, 2022
It’s still a good idea, as many fans believe. Fire & Blood Aemond is remembered as a murderer. They realized that Aemond, a one-eyed prince, wouldn’t confess to his hesitation in reporting to his king and that historians wouldn’t believe him if he claimed to have been remorseful.

Now they are open to criticism about the storming at the Dragonpit when the Dragons cannot escape from the Dragonpit “reasons.”
This episode was only a warning about future bad writing choices.

It’s unlikely that the show will return in 2024. “accidental”Drop in ratings.
