Now that I’ve watched it a second time, I think I’m ready to share some of my thoughts.

As promised, you moved up the Attack on King’s Landing, making the Battle with the Army of the Dead the final big action piece of the series. Which, in my eyes at least, makes a lot more sense and provides a darker tone for the finale.
However, altering the original timeline affected several characters and events. The most prominent and positive being Cersei’s death, which is now a much more satisfying outcome. Also, Missandei and Rhaegal remain alive in your final film, which is also a good thing. That said, despite the divisive nature of the original finale, I did miss a few things. Firstly, the Hound fighting the Mountain during the destruction of the Red Keep which, narratively speaking, could work pretty well as part of your edit, and secondly, Daenerys’ speech to her troops, particularly the iconic scene where she walks towards the stairs with Drogon’s wings behind her.

I do not know how your last film will unfold or if you plan to revisit this one in the future, but my enthusiasm remains high.
Keep up the great work!
