I know, I know, it looks awful. I took too many creative liberties in one night and made a mess.

Yeah that is where I am at with it. While I do think there is a crowd of the audience that still try to compare and think it's as high quality as it once was. I also think there is still some strong elements, flashes of greatness in some scenes and while it is wholly fan fiction....at the end of the day it's not "bad" fan fiction most of the time. For me I just kind of I don't know, saw it coming? It was already heading this direction seasons ago. Even if you were on team fantasy and thought the Night King would be some big bad, the show in general was still pushing towards more of a character drama focused on the obvious characters. It has certainly become contrived in some instances, throway lines from the creators about Dany "forgetting about the Iron Fleet." While hilarious at surface level are also telling about I think where the focus was for not only this season but in general? Like I said before it feels like we aren't meant to be cheering for these characters, and that we've been doing so in spite of ourselves. 
 
One of the things that I will say bugs me about the criticism of the direction of the show, is that it's somehow unearned. Which I think is just...crazy? Even if some of it is poorly written, the push of the plot still does take natural threads so often. Like expecting us to believe Dany is so rage hearted and dumb that she'd forget about a fleet that ambushed her and ignore tactics (something she has done a lot throughout the shows history I might add) while believable is just a bummer for the audience because it's not particularly interesting. It's also very obvious/easy. But it's hardly not something new to the show/books. Ned made foolish choices, so did Rob, so did a lot of the previous seasons "hero" characters. 
 
I think no matter what the show will be at odds with the books and I think it always was even when they were taking stuff from the pages/more literally adapting. While the fan fiction aspects of the show can probably feel ham fisted for people who are maybe looking for more nuance, or not just "oh this has to happen because we've been building to it for seasons here and so on". Like I respect that and I do think there are examples where the show has been that. But as a modern day TV show, I just don't know how anyone didn't really think you'd see especially in the final season, fan service wrap up. I've heard many people say that it'd be interesting to see the series remade years down the road, perhaps with all the books completed but instead as movies. The TV format and the character drama aspects that the show has heavily used since day one at times have been at odds with the pacing of the show/universe. That was happening long before we had the jarring time jumps for convenience/effect. 

I'm sorry Mozartwhopper!! I will try again next week!

If there is a tie in votes, points from both positions will be distributed the tied players (e.g., Two players tied for first = 37 points total = 18.5 points each) An overall ranking list will be established based on the winners from each week and players will compete until the final week of the season  Present and past rankings for the VHLGFX can be viewed here: VHLGFX Rankings/History Weekly winners will have their graphics uploaded to the VHLGFX DeviantArt page found here: https://www.deviantart.com/vhlgfx Given a tie break at the end of the VHLGFX season, there will be a face-off between the tied members (this will only happen for 1st place ties) Entries must be posted by the weeks-end (Sunday; matched with week end for weekly TPE submissions) Voting will take place during the next week after submission (Week 1 voting during Week 2 submissions) All types of graphics are accepted as long as they are your own, unique work. Do not submit graphics made by someone else – you will be disqualified from the season’s competition for doing so. If you do this in multiple seasons you will be banned from future competitions within VHLGFX. Do not submit graphics you have made previously! It must be a NEW graphic.  You may claim you weekly VHLGFX entry as your weekly graphics submission for 6 TPE. You do not receive any extra TPE for competing in the VHLGFX.  You can post your weekly submission for TPE in the weekly VHLGFX thread, however, you will not be able to receive comments specifically for your work. This league was created for fun, not for TPE. There will be no extra TPE earned at the end of the VHLGFX season. If you have a problem with this, take it up with the higher ups.  Special themes may arise throughout the season where all graphics must be created towards the specific theme (e.g., World Juniors, jersey week, player card week, etc.) Thank you and have fun!
