Abandoned Plot Lines in Game of Thrones

Out of these, which plot line would you have like to see resolved the most? 🧐

the white walkers spiral symbolizes all the theories and our hopes going down the drain on the last season of the show :)

Season 1 - Winter is coming! Season 2 - Winter is coming!! Season 3 - Winter is comingg!!! Season 4 - Winter is comminggg!!!!! Season 5 - Wiiiiinter is commmming!!!!!!! Season 6 - WiiiiinnnTer is commmmmmmingggg!!!! Season 7 - Wiiiiiiiinter issss commmmmmingggggggg!!!!! Season 8 - Oh it's over mate! Peww, close call eh?

This video horrifically sums up why I can’t rewatch the series… knowing it went nowhere is too painful

Stannis Baratheon is an entire abandoned plot line. He was killed off simply because the writers didn’t know what to do with him past season 5.

That picture of Littlefinger and Sansa is a masterpiece 😂

Another plotline abandoned: Arya's direwolf. I know it's not much but I felt bad at their last encounter.

I forgot how many plotlines where dropped. damn the potential of this series

"Hold the door" is still one of the most heart shattering phrases in TV history

I thought the books suggested (well, that was my take on it) that Jon's soul entered his wolf when he died which is how he came back 'whole' after his body was healed. The wolves were the biggest abandoned thing I think

The Prince that was promised being an abandoned story arc is the most embarrassing mistake they made lol

To me, the Iron Bank was the most egregious abandoned plot line. I envisioned them as some super powerful mafioso type of organization, and wanted to see the Iron Bank in full retribution mode. Cool that the show touched upon the economic underpinnings of running an empire; but sadly, touching upon the subject is as far as that subplot went.  In a grander scale, I have a theory that "A Song of Fire and Ice" was meant to foreshadow the eventual coming together and conclusive rule of Daenerys Targaryen (fire) and Jon Snow (ice). However, too many people figured out that this was the direction the books/show was going, and so the ending pivoted nonsensically in an effort to (ack) sUbVeRt eXpEcTaTiOnS.

You missed that Varys caught and kept the sorcerer that cut him in a box. It was never mentioned again.

i feel like my old wounds have opened and salt poured on them, thanks for video

They did my man Jaime dirty. Not only do I have mad respect for the actor who portrays him, but the character also became one of my favorites in the underrated A Feast for Crows. It seemed to me a grim and accurate portrait of war and what it does to a person. The show... Just.... Why?

A major loss could've happened with the time travel loop, the mad king, Bran could have tried to send msgs back about burning all the white walkers but the only msg that got through was "burn them all"

Jaime’s arc was the most painful abandoned plot line for me

You missed Ser Ilyn Payne disapearing after season 2. Also, the last Warg scenes were in season 4 with the Thenns. PS: did you catch when was Loras describing his wedding to Sansa, he mentioned the dress having "french sleeves"? How does anyone in Westeros know what french sleeves are?

The song of ice and fire is literally a prophesy about the promised prince. A targaryan. As far as we've seen in House of the Dragons his name is Aegon (Jon's real name). Said prince is meant to end with the eternal night a.k. white walkers. Anyway here you go take Arya killing the white king and forget about the Song of Ice and Fire.

They abandoned the plot point of killing major characters. Will never understand how so many characters survived to the end - especially in huge battles like the long night. I feel like that shows how much the show lost sight of itself + what it was about. That's not to say characters were killed off for the sake of it - but the high stakes, multiple motivations, characters you were rooting for having conflicting goals, etc. It lost it's teeth!
