The Game of Thrones petition is now climbing up to 1.5 million signatures demanding another go at season eight, which Piers Morgan has got a lot of thoughts about.
After proudly bragging that he’s not a fan of the HBO series, the Good Morning Britain presenter is still vehemently against the protest to rewrite the final chapter of Game of Thrones, after investing the best part of decade in a cataclysmic disappointed which, if anything, was overshadowed with news Maisie Williams is joining RuPaul’s Drag Race.
Comparing the season eight backlash to Brexit, Piers tweeted: ‘Nothing sums up the snowflake generation more than this ridiculous petition to have the #GameofThrones final season rewritten.
‘If they don’t get what they want, whether it’s Trump, Brexit or a TV show, they lie on the floor screaming ‘I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THAT – DO IT AGAIN!!!!!’
The Game of Thrones cast are understandably gutted by the reaction to the Game of Thrones finale, which saw Bran Stark (played by Isaac Hempstead Wright) take the throne, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) killed by her lover Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and a water bottle make its debut in another unforgivable blunder.
Sophie Turner, who starred as Sansa Stark, told The New York Times: ‘Honestly, I’m not surprised. People always have an idea in their heads of how they want a show to finish, and so when it doesn’t go to their liking, they start to speak up about it and rebel.’
She added: ‘All of these petitions and things like that – I think it’s disrespectful to the crew, and the writers, and the filmmakers who have worked tirelessly over 10 years, and for 11 months shooting the last season. Like 50-something night shoots.
‘So many people worked so, so hard on it, and for people to just rubbish it because it’s not what they want to see is just disrespectful.’
Game of Thrones seasons one to eight are available to stream on NOW TV. If you’re still bitter about the finale, you can sign the petition here.
