WATCH: The “honest trailer” for the final season of Game of Thrones is painfully true

Game of thrones honest trailer

Ah, Season 8 of Game of Thrones. What a few weeks that was.

Remember the final season of Game of Thrones?

Back when the entire world seemed divided between people who thought the ending of the show was alright, and people who started weird petitions to have it remade.

It was a strange couple of weeks.

Well, if you have blocked it all out of your head, we recommend you look away now, because the people over at Honest Trailers have had their say on the show, and it’s quite damning.

This is the third installment of a series of Honest Trailers for Game of Thrones, and it shows scenes from the final three seasons of the HBO show, with a commentary playing in the background that is a bit too real to even be considered parody…

Highlights from the video include:

“While the show’s reliably great villains backslide from the Joffrey-esque Ramsay Bolton to the mysterious Night King, who after all fan theories, really was just some dude the Keebler elves stabbed to a tree.”

And:

“Say goodbye to the complex heroes that you loved, and say hello to their one-dimensional lookalikes.”

Take a look at the video here:

Spot on.

But if you haven’t yet had enough Game of Thrones in your life, then you can see George R R Martin in Dublin in August of this year.
