If you are an actor whose signing project ends in a spectacular bad way, you are probably put in A. a lot A hard place. On the one hand, you should not bite your hand that feeds you and be like, "Wow, can you believe that the end? sucked!"On the other hand, I would be ready to bet that it is really disturbing to continue to defend the final that most people have absolutely hated.

Talking to The telegraph To promote his project with the BBC, "King and the conqueror" (where he plays the true historic figure William from Normandy), Cooster-Waldau only talked about Green as an actor when he started as Jaeim Lanestry at Game of Thrones, and of course, Profiler Eli Harrison asked him for the last season. As for the reaction against the whole season and its final, the "Ironelesy Throne", Cooster-Waldau has taken it.

"He was expected," he told Harrison. "How will you ever end up satisfying everyone? It's a very difficult thing. I absolutely think people have the right to have an opinion, but it's a television show. Someone told you a story and you didn't like the end. It's really boring, but ..." Harrison noticing that Cooster-Waglava just moved).

With all the respect for Cooster-Waldau, it's a bunch of balloons. "Someone told you a story and you didn't like the end" is hell in a way to avoid the extremely hasty pace of the last season of Game of Thrones, not to say anything about RIP in continuum during the space that appeared around Season 7 and allowed the characters obviously a fast -paced trip over the massive continent. I know that Some of my colleagues right here on /film will go to the bat to finish "Game of Thrones", And that is their right, but they are wrong, and so is Cooster-Waldau. What is particularly frustrating for this response to powerlessness is that, of all the greatest characters of Game of Thrones, the end of IMEEM is one of the most frustrating conclusions of the show.

When we first meet IMEEM LANTER IN THE PILLATION OF THE GAME OF THE CONTRANCE, we learn that his nickname, "Kinglayer" was earned when he turned on the crazy King Ajeris II Targaryen and committed the ruler before he could destroy the kingdom; Although his intentions were to rescue Aeris people in front of his tyranny, Kinglayer is not exactly flattering nickname. I would argue that the fact that IMEEM had a long -standing incestual relationship with his twin sister Cermy Lanist (Lena Jedi), the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms and King Robert Barraeon (Mark Adi )'s wife, is much outrageous and worse than the killing of the King. Plus, to preserve the secrecy about the illicit affair, Imeeim pushes child, Bran Stark (Isaac Hemsteid-Right), out of tower after catching twins in the flagrantso it's not Great or or.

However, during Game of Thrones, we find out more about the image of IMEEM and we see as it develops. As a qualified sword and warrior, IMEEM is always a little too arrogant for his good ... But he loses that confidence in Season 3 when, as he was captured with Brienne of Tart (Gwendolin Christie), his hand at the sword is cut off. (In the scene after losing his hand - specifically, in the season 3 episode "Kissing Fire" - IMEEM explains to Brien that he only killed Ajeris to save everyone else, which also marks the first time the audience is listening to the whole story, and that is incredibly influenced.) Snow (Keith Farrington) and other heroes of the show to help fight white pedestrians coming from the north.

Season 8 is where IMEEM, along with other characters like his brother Tyrion (Peter Dinklage), develops a great case of "stupid" for no reason. After the "knight" Brienne before the battle of Winterfell and slept with her after their victory over the white pedestrians, he only leaves her to return to Cerseys, Telling tells Brien: "She's hatred, and I am." By the time IMEEM returned to King Landg, Danieris Targaryen (Emilia Clark) attacked the capital of Zmeibeck - and after IMEEM fights against Euron Grayhoy (Pile Asbak), he unites with Cerseys just as they fall. This end is Stupid as hellBut Nikolai Cooster-Waldau, inexplicably, defended him after that.

Nikolai Cooster-Waldau spoke Fun weekly In May 2019, just after the penultimate episode of the show "Theevons" (which also features Cersey's death). (Neither he nor Lena Hedi appear in the final, the "Ironelesis throne". As he said:

"You know that he will go back and there is no happy ending, is it? The hardest thing is the fact that they actually find the balance because he ends up with Brienne for a short moment. He knows himself that there is no alternative. For a moment he is tormented in thinking that there is an alternative to his life. As you want an audience.

Hiberd noted that the fans were "broken by the heart" of the heel of IMEEM, and Cooster-Waldau justified it. "It's a heart. It makes sense, though you don't want it," Coster-Waldau replied. "And the way he ends up with him, he finally finds him (CERSI) and that's a nice end."

As for that incredibly stupid end for Cers and IMEE-who seems to have moved five meters to the right and avoided being crushed by falling on the rocks, given that the large parts of the room are still intact when Tyrion finds his brothers and sisters at the beginning of the "Iron". "I thought it was a great end for that couple," he said, recalling the time IMEEM in Season 4 hopes to die "in the hands of the woman (he wants)". Finally, he praised the final: "I think they couldn't do it better. It makes sense. There is a logic for it without any obvious."

Again, I'm not trying to be rude to Cooster-Walldau, but this is funny. Yes, many Game of Thrones fans had a knee reaction of the last season and the final, but Also, The narrative structure of both is Incredible Prolonged from a writing perspective. IMEEM could have died with Cersey, but his betrayal of Brian and the ridiculous death of the twins deterred the development of character to the point that he actually felt offensive. Cooster-Waldau is entitled to your own opinion, and if you want to decide whether it's right or wrong, Game of Thrones is now running on HBO Max.
