Season 8 of Game of Thrones disappointed many viewers. But as a TikTok video shows, we could have actually guessed beforehand that the finale might upset some: Because Emilia Clarke warned us without directly stating it.
Season 8 of Game of Thrones was torn apart by many fans. Among other things, the season was criticized for how quickly it rushed through some storylines. In addition, certain character developments, such as those of Daenerys Targaryen, led to negative reactions among viewers.
Some fans went so far in their dissatisfaction as to create a petition demanding a re-shoot of Season 8. You can read more about it here at our colleagues from Moviepilot.
However, as a TikTok video shows, we could have guessed beforehand that the last season would be divisive and might disappoint many. Because one Game of Thrones actress did not seem too thrilled about the series finale herself, but could only express that indirectly in interviews.
Here you see a trailer for Game of Thrones:
How did Emilia Clarke warn us? The TikToker movie.review_man.man.man published a clip on his channel on December 18, 2023.
In it, he explained that he found one thing funny about the ‘downfall’ of Game of Thrones with Season 8, namely that Emilia Clarke, the actress of Daenerys, had warned during a press tour before just how bad the last season was.

Although she never said it outright, there are several clips in which she shows us what awaits us.
Subsequently, several interview snippets are shown, in which the actress answers questions from journalists about Season 8.
When asked how it was to read the script, Emilia Clarke replied: “I read the scripts for this season, and on certain days, I left my house. The only thing I took with me were my keys. And when I returned home three hours later, I still hadn’t processed everything.” Her subsequent facial expression speaks volumes.
Even in the following interview moments that are shown, you can see her repeatedly with an almost tortured expression as she talks about Season 8 of Game of Thrones.
