You don’t have to have blind devotion to something to be a fan of it. I don’t like new Pokémon but still am a fan of the first 3 generations. I’m a fan of the office but I don’t watch after season 7.
There’s a fan edit called Game of Thrones Redeemed. Apparently it fixes that trainwreck into something reasonably satisfying, although I’ve not seen it yet.
I have friends who utterly refuse to acknowledge the last episode of Farscape. If it never happens for them, they can assume the adventures go on indefinitely.
Lost was good for a season and a half or so. If they would have kept the story moving instead of filling in fluff just for episodes and longevity, it could have had the same impact.
I like it. The whole thing is a tragedy about bickering over petty human power-struggles while eventually being overtaken by the problem you should have been working together against. Bring Peter Dinklage back in to narrate something to that effect over the scenes of the whitewalkers rampaging. Series sort of salvaged.
It evolved through the years. The actual fanatics who don’t accept any criticism for their favorite show/movie/actor/singer/whatever tend to be labeled as stans. At least IME.

Recently I was wondering if I could apply that reasoning to Game of Thrones. I haven’t watched it since that trainwreck of an ending.

Did they watch The Peacekeeper Wars after finishing the show? Because it does help.
One of the few endings that was so utterly awful it retroactively tainted my perception of the first solid 4-5 seasons.
Probably also the reason the book series will never get finished now :>
It’s such a shame, because it was so fun for a while. It was culturally dominant in a way no fantasy TV show has ever been.
And died so cataclysmically like no other media I’ve ever seen.

For me that show ends when the wall falls. The white walkers win, humanity is over.

So climate change?
Summer is coming.
Fan was originally short for fanatic, so it does actually imply blind devotion. Etymologically at least.
You know I will.
Thank god language evolves so that now a fan is someone interested in a thing
