Rick and Morty creators defend Game of Thrones' final season

Entertainment Weekly

“As a showrunner, I was amazed at the amount they were able to accomplish — especially given the meta-reality of having run out of books to adapt," Dan Harmon tells EW. "Watching The Hound fight The Mountain on the stairs, I was like, ‘This is all great, man.’ I was aware of the disappointment factor with (Daenerys') dark turn. I’m not going to say fans are too cynical and ungrateful, but I guess I did just say that.” Justin Roiland adds that Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are "f*cking awesome guys." “I echo all of Dan’s sentiments about the show,” he says. “Structurally, I think it was great. I just selfishly wanted more episodes. I wanted to get to those plot points at a slower pace. I didn’t want it to end either. I wished it was stepped out over three more seasons, or three of four more episodes."
