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.

I used to love this show until I saw the last season was a major let down after full 2 years of making fans wait for the last season and it was rubbish it got such a low rating it's put me off watching it again from the beginning

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.

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.

Not ignoring the masterpiece it used to be, but acknowledging the fact they basically ruined all previous work with that shitty final season. Not on HBO though, both showrunners claimed GoT was a really expensive film school for them.

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.

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.
