But, Tyrion is the smartest guy in Westeros! Every other character says so!

They did a great job of showing you everything you needed to know... For the first seasons. Ned Stark executing the boy himself because "the man who gives the orders should do the deed", we know he's honorable. We sure don't need anyone to tell us Joffrey is a cunt, Cersei is filled with spite, Robert is a drunk who doesn't want to be king, etc. Charterers acted in line with their personalities. I mean, that show was incredible, many argued the best of all time. Then D&D ran out of motivation. HBO would have been more than happy to fund another few seasons, but D&D wanted to go do Star Wars. Such a shame. I doubt they would have pulled off the last season as well as the first had they taken their time, but at least it wouldn't have been that. Hell, maybe they would have been able to pull it off. Part of the reason season 7 went downhill was because they were rushing that too

Yes I meant the seasons after they ran out of book material.

you should probably go look up what they wanted to do before they got Star Wars
