[Warning: Reading further or clicking on GoT links in this article will expose you to spoilers for Game of Thrones, Season 8, episode 3. Unlike Rian Johnson however, we’re warning your first.]
Rian Johnson just can’t seem to keep quiet, can he? For the last year and a half the Star Wars: The Last Jedi director has taken to social media and interviews to defend his interpretation of Star Wars. (Although, an indirect effect of the disdain for The Last Jedi he created may be a renewed interest in Episode IX. Trailer view numbers for The Rise of Skywalker obliterated those of the last two films.) Unfortunately, it’s not Star Wars fans he’s angering this time, though. Now he’s ticked off Game of Thrones fans, as well.
As we know, the Night King finally came to Winterfell in Sunday night’s episode of Game of Thrones. The battle went pretty much as fans and the show’s characters expected. White Walkers and wights overwhelmed Winterfell’s defenses. Favorite characters who’d survived for seven-plus seasons fell, and others seemed on the brink. Notwithstanding, Arya Stark, in a surprise move, made good on her seven-year build-up as an assassin. It was none other than the younger Stark daughter who took out the Night King. However, in an effort to be cheeky, Rian Johnson spoiled the moment before many fans could see it first-hand.
Rian Johnson Spoils Game of Thrones Shocker
In an early tweet in Monday, April 29, Rian Johnson thought he’d be funny by throwing some shade at The Last Jedi haters with this tweet:
The obvious “joke” he’s making is that the show treated the Night King’s death like he did that of Snoke. He’s poking fun at those who complained about such treatment because it did not fit their theories for the character. In doing so Rian Johnson once again shows his complete disconnect from fans of both the Star Wars and Game of Thrones franchises.
First, his childish jab at detractors of his own film shows just how thin-skinned Rian Johnson really is. That he admittedly made a film to “subvert expectations”, and still can’t take the heat resulting from his own actions, shows an utter lack of maturity on his part. When it comes to Game of Thrones, however, he proves he doesn’t care about that fandom, either. Tweeting what amounts to an obvious acknowledgement of the Night King’s death within hours after the episode aired for the first time? That’s just a jerk move from the Hollywood director.
I didn’t care for Rian Johnson before. I have even less respect for the man now. A lot of people didn’t like your film, Rian. Get over it, and stop ruining the fun of other franchises because of your fragile ego.
Well I wont be visiting this site anymore. His tweet could have meant anything to someone who isn’t caught up with GoT. It could have been about where the Night King was going, who he is allied with, or if he’s really Kermit the Frog. Ironically, warning or not, you are the one spoiling it by saying specifically what Rian meant. It was a funny tweet making fun of his harassers. Nothing more.
Mike, why don’t you just STFU and go then. If you can’t read into Ruin Johnson’s wounded egocentrism, you’re clearly a round-faced femboy manbaby who thinks Mary Sues are the crown jewel of filmmaking. (I’m sorry, Rian, but we already know it’s you.)
@ Burt Reynolds LOL you ned fucking help/an actual life you beyond pathetic loser geekoid
@ Burt Reynolds LOL you ned f’n help/an actual life you beyond pathetic loser geekoid
You sir, are an idiot. That is all.
Mike is absolutely right. Parcial – stupid – article. Better try harder convincing the public to embrace your childish frustrations, Goodman. Bye, man!
Mike.. we get it.. you love Rian Johnson!!! Go hump a poster or something…
Agreed with mike, pretty ambiguous tweet. “Ruined” is an absurd word choice. But i guess your clickbait title served its purpose because obviously i clicked on this garbage article.
You’re a shitty writer.
Says the guy who lists “butts@farts.com” as his email….
LOL Says the crybaby man-child still crying over a (great) fake movie that released nearly TWO YEARS AGO and then uses it as an excuse to cluelessly whine over a director in a cringe-worthy crapfest excuse for an article.
Nice job earning your 7.50 an hour with this embarrassing shyte, moron. Keep being a cancerous Star War “fan” 👍🏻
What a petty article.
The Last Jedi and the Long Night were two of the biggest travesties in entertainment history. Two of my absolute favorite franchises ruined in the same year.
Except The Last Jedi was amazing and Game of Thrones was NEVER good..
Congrats all ’round, tasteless crybaby neckbeard 😊
Great article…don’t listen to the one person who keeps posting as random John Doe names lol. What pathetic being has nothing better to do with their life than troll contributors.
Great article? LOL you need f’n help, pathetic crybaby geekoid
Well done, that’s everything that is wrong with the internet. Too many witless people taking every teeny tiny bit of the world and click baiting the hell out of it. This is not news or even worthy of being quoted. Pathetic article.
thank god we have GRRM’s books (and other well constructed and well written books) to get away from the disgusting stupidity of rian and hollyweird.
LOL Go watch some godawful anime you life-failing, delusional basement dweller X- )
One can definitely tell who the adults are in the comment section. A clue ,it isnt the ones tossing out the manbaby term Spewing inane insults and screeching hysterically…
I found this article by typing in ‘Ruin Johnson’, and what a gem of literature it is.
not getting al the backlash from the millennial twats who disagree with this though…but they’re so far up disneys ass they’re probably too busy creaming themselves over the announcement of a ‘frozen’ sequel they can’t see Ruin Johnson is a narcissistic cuntstick who did one decent series and now things he’s incapable of doing anything wrong.
I can’t say his intention was to ruin the episode for GOT fans, seems more of him just being an attention whore bawling about how everyones disdain for his complete lack of a coherent thought for Snoke still nettles him…he’s the only real manbaby and he just can’t stand or accept that.
Screw him, go you.
