Brief Synopsis:
This edit takes the final two seasons and rearranges them to make the Night King and his army be the climax as it should have been. Tons of cuts and edits were made to try to save the characters from the awful writing and to keep their original arcs intact.
My main fixes were to:
- Remove the rushed Mad Daenerys arc
- Retain Jaime's character
- Give the Night King some substance
- Give Bran things to actually do
- Make Arya and Sansa not appear to be so stupid
- Remove the dumbing down of Tyrion and endless ball jokes
- Remove or tone down fast travel
- Remove all fakeout deaths, especially in the battle for Winterfell
And tons and tons of other small changes.

Intention:
Game of Thrones had one of the most disappointing finales I've ever seen. The story, the characters, the pacing, they got everything wrong. I wanted to be able to rewatch one of my favorite shows, but so much of it is meaningless with the original ending. While this edit isn't the Game of Thrones finale we deserve, I hope it satisfies anyone who wants to be able to rewatch the show without having such a disappointing end.

Editing Details:
I focused first and foremost on rearranging the seasons so that the Night King attack happens at the end. Then I tried to remove all character assassinations such as Jaime not caring about the innocent, Daenerys going mad all of a sudden, Jon reduced to only saying "she's muh queen". Then I worked at fixing smaller things like fast travel, fakeout deaths, and lots of poor character choices.
Cuts and Additions:
- Moved the Night King attack on Winterfell to the end, pushing the attack on King's Landing earlier
- Rearranged many, many scenes to make this main rearrangement work as well as to cut down on fast travel wherever I could
- Removed Dany going mad and burning everyone in King's Landing
- Jon and his army, and Arya and the Hound are never at King's Landing, and its destruction does not happen
- None of her army attacks the unarmed guards and civilians after they lay down their weapons
- Cersei no longer just sits around drinking wine and doing nothing. Her storyline is much better paced
- A lot less Euron. No finger in the bum!
- Euron does not shoot a dragon out of the sky and Dany does not forget about his fleet
- Cersei and Euron both die by dragonfire in the attack on King's Landing, rather than their original deaths
- Had to basically remove Varys and Littlefinger from the plotline sadly...
- Removed Arya and Sansa fighting and then tricking Littlefinger. He stays alive in this edit
- Took out all the dumb ball jokes from Tyrion
- Removed Arya finding her wolf again randomly
- Theon regaining his crew because he doesn't have a dick is removed. He now gets them back by willpower
- Removed the hunt for a wight beyond the Wall plotline. Repurposed it without that wight staying alive
- Bran now communicates with Jon via visions to have him go after the Night King beyond the Wall
- Everything that happens with the Night King now goes one after another very quickly
- The Night King lures Dany up to get her dragon
- The two episodes before the Battle for Winterfell are combined and removed a lot things like Arya sexing up Gendry
- Sansa is no longer fighting with Dany for no reason
- Removed all fakeout deaths at the Battle for Winterfell
- Less main characters on the frontline
- Rearranged the battle into two episodes to appear longer and for pacing
- Bran is revealed to be a part of the Night King. That's how the Night King can control the dead, using Bran's warging powers
- The Night King kills Arya and Bran warges into her body to deliver the final blow
- Removed basically everything that originally happened at the end. No Bran becoming king. No hitler Dany. No Jon killing Dany
- A lot more main character deaths to make the Night King feel like he was an actual threat
- New funeral scene with other characters' deaths added, and the unused song "Stay a Thousand Years" added
- Jon doesn't kill Dany. He now calls on the dragon to destroy the throne
- Ends with a montage of characters still alive, Sansa being crowned, and then Jon going beyond the Wall with Dany
- There are tons and tons of other minor changes to scenes for pacing, or to remove plotlines they are referring to because of the reordering,
or to remove characters from scenes that shouldn't be there, or to make small fixes for things I didn't like.

I watched the original season 7 twice and season 8 once. My gf never watched GoT. We both really enjoyed this season. Throughout the watch I was thinking that 'redeemed' was really the appropriate name for this edited version. It was such a new experience, it feels satisfying watching this after rewatching the previous six seasons.

I really enjoyed watching this. My feelings very much echo those of user revstevens and their review. This is pretty much the best we could ask for given what is available to work with. Frankly the new VOs by Bran sounded so much like Bran that it was hard to believe it wasn't the actor himself doing those VOs. My nitpicks: In the final episode I would have chosen to flip the final King's Landing scene to a later position in the edit, mainly because it just wasn't clear how they got there and why they were then back in the north so quickly. I also am not completely clear on the relationship/history that Bran and the Night King have according to this edit with the new effects and VO. I was able to infer a great deal and come up with my own understanding, but it isn't completely clear (to me) that my inferred understanding was what the editor intended, even after I rewatched the scene several times and was sure I understood all the words in the VO (I could not get the subtitles to work, I'm sure that was user error). Other than that, I feel the logic was so superior in this edit compared to the original. This was much better storytelling, with a coherent narrative that, overall, made sense. Thank you almightycutie, for giving us a version that can be enjoyed.

This is one of the best fan-edits I have ever seen... The inclusion of subtitles was also a major positive. Thank you for your hard work and time compiling this material into something memorable.

Is it perfect? No. There's only so much footage to work with.
Is it as close to perfect as you can get with the footage available? Depends on your opinion of the narrative choices made. Particularly in the final episode.
Does it accomplish the job of redeeming the series? Absolutely.
Thank you, so much, for creating this edit. I disagree with a few choices in the final episode, but the rest was so good that I'm perfectly happy to overlook that.
Wonderful work.

This is my first review on this site. First off, thank you very much for the copy of this edit. I really enjoyed the changes you made to the plot and narrative. I thought you made excellent use of Brans powers, and used him far better than they did in the original plot. Some of the cuts were a little rough, but that’s probably because I know the source material pretty well. And the ending felt a little bit confusing because of the cuts from location to location, but I wouldn’t take away anything from you, because you can’t refilm the whole thing. Thanks for your hard work, I really enjoyed it.
