This post contains spoilers for Game Of Thrones Season 8 Episode 5 “The Bells”.
Game Of Thrones brought some long-awaited confrontations to its penultimate episode, “The Bells,” which ended with King’s Landing laid to waste by possible mad queen Daenerys with the help of — to quote Missandei — “Dracarys.”
As always, fans of the show were livetweeting their thoughts, and some of those tweets were funny. For example, people continue to demand justice for Ghost, who reportedly couldn’t get a single goodbye pat on the head from Jon Snow because the CGI wouldn’t have worked out:

Speaking of Jon watching the destruction, people had thoughts about Varys being right:

Daenerys was the target of most of the jokes this episode:

pour one out for the kids who years ago got named after a character whose televised arc finally swung around to "does warcrimes" in the penultimate episode of the show

To be fair, that coffee cup wasn’t the biggest flub in Game of Thrones history:

To also be fair, people who’ve been paying attention to Dany’s past knew she was hardcore:

And the destruction of King’s Landing gives Arya a good reason to update the kill list.

Arya bout to survive all that she been through to die of mesothelioma. I know it’s asbestos in her lungs. Hate to see it.

Were you or a loved one in King's Landing the day of the attack? You may be entitled to compensation.

People said R.I.P. about some other things, too:
RIP to the saddest #GameOfThrones deaths so far: the writing, character development, and the storylines they completely forgot about. pic.twitter.com/wmNr831JIl

The complaints didn’t stop there. You may be surprised to hear that people on the internet like to kvetch about TV shows:

Complain all you want, but Game of Thrones is delivering the biggest twist nobody ever saw coming: that you'd fucking hate it by the time it's all said and done

I’m going to miss shouting “these idiots have no idea what they’re doing!!” at the tv for apolitical reasons
— Alexandra Petri (@petridishes) May 13, 2019
i'm gonna give this show one more week and if it doesn't get better i'm out!

You just can’t please some people.
Remember when #GameofThrones “didn’t kill enough people” two episodes ago?
