Thrones enthusiasts are well aware of the major disaster that occurred in the Game of Thrones series – the finale. Fans were left disappointed as the show's final two seasons failed to deliver what was expected, proving to be anti-climactic and lacking emotional depth. Even Patrick Pimblett, an English professional mixed martial artist competing in the UFC Lightweight division, shares this sentiment. When asked about his opinion on the best series created to date, Pimblett expressed a mild outlook on the ending. The UFC champion expressed his disappointment with Game of Thrones, stating that the series was fantastic until Season 6.

Pimblett criticized the show's creators, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, for ultimately ruining it and shifting their focus to Star Wars. Paddy Pimblett did not hold back his critique of Game of Thrones, referring to the duo as "as*holes" and "a pair of bellends."

Undoubtedly, the showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss found themselves without source material to adapt. They had never intended to strictly follow George R. R. Martin's books, and when the show surpassed the books in terms of storytelling, the decline in source quality became apparent. Without the guidance of the source material, the narrative began to suffer.

The disappointment among fans regarding the last two seasons of Game of Thrones is palpable, and this sentiment is not only shared by Paddy Pimblett. The conclusion to this epic saga left many feeling dissatisfied. One crucial aspect that fell short was the lack of emotional impact and the failure to provide satisfying conclusions for key characters like Jon Snow.

The initial seasons of Game of Thrones captivated audiences with their shocking and awe-inspiring moments, leading up to an explosive conclusion in the sixth season. While the later seasons managed to incorporate some surprising moments, such as the Night King's control over a dragon, certain scenes felt contrived and lacked the impact that characterized earlier seasons.

The show's writers struggled to consistently maintain the tension throughout the final episodes, resulting in a loss of the series' once-devoted fanbase.

In conclusion, the Game of Thrones finale left both Paddy Pimblett and fans disappointed. The change in direction from the show's creators and the absence of source material negatively impacted the series' narrative. The lack of emotional weight and unsatisfying resolutions for key characters further contributed to the disappointment. Ultimately, Game of Thrones faltered in its final seasons and failed to maintain the same level of quality and engagement that had garnered such a dedicated following throughout its earlier years.
