Pretty much....these writers are trained how to make generic, predictable plot arcs work for the uncritical masses. The GOT base were people who actually took the time to read...and are punching holes in the formulaic "tricks" they learned in film school.
With the money HBO stood to gain...they should have hired talented, creative consultants to "round table" potential outcomes. Could have had Alex Garland, Spike Jonez and Chris Cunningham pulling together to come up with alternative arcs.
This felt like "lowest common denominator" writing/directing...and a bunch of untalented "white collar" producers having final say...definitely a Disney vibe.
We are left with a "what could have been"...shame.
