The ending scene is so incredibly sappy and cringe it literally felt like a Disney movie made for 10 year olds. Everytime she speaks there is this incredibly melodramatic glisten in her eyes, she thinks she is the new Christ.
We get it, slavery is bad. But do we need such a cringe-worthy character to demonstrate this message. Her rise feels like its been complete luck and not skill/talent which then makes me cringe when she gifts freedom etc to so many people. Idk its hard to explain but it just feels so cookie cutter moralising and as if she's just a self insert for the audience wish-fulfilment and virtue signalling fantasies
In terms of compelling characters she's literally bottom of my list. (Compelling, not likeable) because obviously shes still more likeable than Joffery (who i love to hate at this point, he was kinda cartoonist in season 1 but i love him now)
The red witch and her "king" had a good season 3 from a writing standpoint.
Season 2 was definitely the best season of the first 3 . I just felt for the first time that the overall story started to drag a tiny little bit for me (during season 3) which was why i thought what happened to the starks in episode 9 was exactly what the show needed.
The ironborn torture scenes.were boring but the Lannister bickering arguments with each other were great this season. Honestly the Lannisters are so compelling for me they carry this show on their backs. Tyrion/Tywain/Jamie/Cersei and yes even Joffery was great this season.
But yeah im just kinda (a little) sick of Ms Jesus Christ, the one and holy, Mhysa. And i hope that the world isnt served to her on a silver platter from which she virtue signally's to infinity and beyond, in future seasons. I've enjoyed her character each season but yeah this is an issue that seems to get slightly worse for me with each progressive season.
All in all season 3 is still great television, but i am interested to see how it keeps my attention in season 4. Its a slow moving series (which isn't a bad thing) as long as the characters are compelling. Mhysa just doesn't feel like a real character as much as others do.
Oh and i wasn't a massive fan of the cripple kid stark and his gang but eh they're still pretty good i suppose that's a nitpick. If anything, them being the hobo's of the cast kinda balance out all the upper class dialogue scenes in fancy settings.
Also the whole "that thing you did with your tongue" was so painfully cringe lmaoooo. I guess this is my time to be self inserting and im showing the innocent girl things in the bedroom she's never seen before!! I can make her feel things the other men cannot!! Lol. I think the writers know more men are watching then women, especially with the amount of scenes with fully nude girls standing around fully dressed men lol. I feel like im just straight up watching bad p**n half the time during those scenes
ironically (for my Mhysa bashing) the hottest scene in the entire series actually occurred with 2 chopped off heads in the room. The man valuing beauty over other things and sticking to his principles combined with how Mhysa reacts to that. Wow that was awesome. It also helps that she's ridiculously attractive lol. So if anything i respect Denery's mainly for just how insanely hot she is, you cannot say the girl doesn't take care of herself.
All in all yep it's still the best tv show iv'e ever seen and giving the finale for season 3 a 5/10 was a little harsh haha, but hopefully it gets me some attention.
