Deserve
Fans say that they "deserve" a different ending, whether it's already been filmed or needs to be re-shot. Knowing that HBO intends to lean heavily on the franchise in the years to come, they believe a re-make is worth doing.
Choose-Your-Own Ending
Many fans joked that they would gladly watch the "MaraThrone" right up until the last few episodes, where most felt that the show went wrong.
Hard to Re-Watch
Others said that Game of Thrones is hard to re-watch at all knowing how disappointing the ending came out. Even the parts of the show that are well-made are hard to enjoy for some.
Re-Make
Fans announced that a re-make of the last season was the only announcement they wanted to hear from HBO about Game of Thrones. Anything else was no good to them.
Prequel Hype
Of course, some fans managed to maintain some excitement for Game of Thrones, if nothing else in anticipation of the upcoming prequel. The showrunners of the original series will not be involved in the new show, so many are keeping hope alive.
Defenders
Meanwhile, a few fans actually defended Season 8 and said that the complaints about it were overblown. Others argued that the first five or six seasons were still masterpieces, even if Season 8 was disappointing.
Memes
Finally, if nothing else the "Iron Anniversary" event gave many fans a chance to apply their Game of Thrones feelings to new meme formats, including photos of the blocked Suez Canal just last week. If nothing else, this might be the fandom's favorite use of the big event.
