In the past few months, there have been some conclusions of some iconic mainstream franchises. From the epic conclusion of Avengers: Endgame to the most recent conclusion of Game of Thrones, fans spirits were high at the start of the Game of Thrones season as well as the films and days leading to Endgame.

But after all is said and done, the complaints from Endgame didn’t ruin the movie entirely. Yes there were certainly complaints — like Thor’s fat shaming, or how the ending of the film proceeded (Sebastian Stan made said his piece on that recently) — but it’s widely accepted as a fantastic conclusion.

That can’t be said about Game of Thrones.

Fans felt the tv series was so rushed that the writing left unanswered questions, plot holes, and characters actions making no sense.

And while making a tv series versus a feature film are two widely different beasts, there are still some things that we can learn from these two productions.

How we can create a truly amazing experience.
