It's all over! After eight long seasons over what feels like forever, Game of Thrones has come to an end, leaving fans enthralled, bereft, disappointed, and, for some, a little angry with how it all went down. And let's not forget the media outlets, who will have to find something else to write about now that this worldwide cultural phenomenon has passed us by.
It goes without saying that the eagerly anticipated Game of Thrones finale has spawned an absolute deluge of hilariously funny memes. Some amusing, some insightful, they are all essential viewing for all you GoT fans out there, to get one final fix before the neverending winter descends.
So like Maisie Williams, we are all just here for the Game of Thrones memes now. Scroll down below to check out this list dedicated to the famous HBO series, compiled one final time by Bored Panda, and let us know what you think about the ending in the comments!

Now that the behemoth that was Game of Thrones is over, what happens to the fan sites, YouTube channels and Facebook groups that built an entire culture out of discussing it? To find out, Bored Panda spoke to Christian, who runs the popular page Game of Thrones Fans. "I hope that we will get some content over time, like history and lore videos on YouTube, prequels, maybe sequels even! Who knows? he told us. "Also, everyone is waiting for George to finish his book, obviously."
"But my plan is to promote good TV shows like I always did. Hopefully I will find a way because that is what I love the most! I would love it if I could do that till the day I die."
"I already put some ideas in motion like my page Binge Watchers where i would like to suggest some good tv shows/ series for the fans to watch and check out."
Despite some misgivings about the final season overall, Christian believes the show finished in a satisfactory way. "For sure the ending gave fans some type of closure even tho most of them aren't happy to see who ended up on the Throne," he told us. "Most of fans blame sloppy Game of Thrones plot writing for that but I'm not so sure."
"After a lot of years following Game of Thrones there will just be this void now it's finished and I don't think any prequel or spin-off can fill that one."
"The working title for the first prequel is Bloodmoon so I guess it has something to do with the Targaryens, but I might be wrong. My wish would be to see Robert's rebellion and the Targaryen civil war on the big screen, and I think most of the fans will agree with me on this one."
"Also some fans are speculating that we might see some of Arya's adventures west as a spin-off on HBO but who knows! All us Game of Thrones fans have left to do is to wait and see."
Apart from an Arya's spin-off, Christian can see two others possibly happening one day. "I think Grey Worm freeing the island of Naath would make a great series," he said. "Also Jon Snow and Tormunds' story beyond the wall, since they didn't seem like they would go back to the wall."
What do you think? Would you like to see some Game of Thrones cast in spin-offs and prequels? Or would you rather just wait for George RR Martin, the master storyteller himself, to end it properly in his books? Scroll down below to check out some of the best memes in the meantime, and let us know what you think in the comments!
Hahaha! Though I did always think from the beginning if Sersei had just let the North do it's own thing it would have saved her a feckload of trouble, much like Europe 😋
I was wondering in the beginning of the episode, where is the white horse? and better yet where did cuts and bruises on her face go??
They were always on their own really , Ned Stark and Robert Lancaster were good friends.
I think I screamed something along those lines or Sansa who grew from torture and daring escapes into a strong and great leader.
Guys, they don't mean that he has the best personal life story, he has the best story to tell: everything that ever happened in the 7 kingdoms.
No one seems to get this. Honestly for as many people complaining the ending was too simple people seem to be missing a lot

Also Jon, the last Targaryan, who freed the Wildlings, died, came back to life, rallied everyone together to kill the white walkers And killed the mad queen.
He will be an omniscient king therefore he can't be bias. I think he's the best choice despite the reasoning which is bs. Even Tyrion has a good story. He's been imprisoned how many times? He has advised several leaders throughout the series and faced death many times. Everyone has a suitable story.
There's A LOT of Bran's story that was not included in the show.
Shape shifting, aka warging, is actually one of Brans abilities. Arya has face swap, which is also cool.
Or Jon,who voluntarily joined the Nights Watch,befriended the Wildlings,saved the Wildlings,became Lord Commander,got killed for it,got brought back to life,took back the North,became King in the North,bent the knee to someone he loved,killed the person he loved 'cause she MURDERED the entirety of King's Landing,and then got sent straight back to the Nights Watch.
Actually BRAN is the only one with no story. Even the fat kid that gave Arya bread had better story.
And took out Walter Frey and sons which no one knows about (except maybe Bran)
Sansa should've got the throne . Everyone knows it - except the writers.
Sansa did get the throne and will probably make an incredible and just ruler. She chose to rule as an autonomous leader after all the pain and hardship she experienced and saw. I personally think Sansa played the “game of thrones” better than Cersei and Danny. While she was horribly abused she remained incredibly brave and strong and learned from Cersei and Little Finger. She is a true survivor and turned this resourcefulness and dare I say “cunningness” into becoming a strong leader

The only part of the season that really satisfied me (and a lot of people too)
Shout out to all of us wheelchair Kings and queens. Thanks Ehlers Danlos I shall hereby be known as Monica the Broken first of her name ruler of pugs
I guess for Jon was more important knowing the truth about his real mother and that Ned indeed honored his promise to Lyanna about protecting him no matter what.
The queen ordered him to kill the Lannisters....there was no queen or king to tell him what to do with Jon
What doesn't make sense? Her mom and dad were siblings. I think she did great to make it that far before the crazy came out.
d&d kinda forgot about Dany's whole other kingdom with a strong army...
Haha, at least all these lovely British actors will get promotions out of it 😁
no one said the queen will be female. Also, Bran said he USED to be a man, right. Soooo
But everyone is forgetting all that happened when Bran went North of the wall
Except he totally abandoned the Night's Watch to go off with the Free Folk
She did try to honor him. I liked the last line about dying protecting his queen, it only shows her good heart.
I wonder if D&D realize that they wrote Bran as the biggest villain on the show. It's been established that he can see in the past present AND future, so he would have know what chaos the information about Jon's parentage would bring, what would happen to Dany's sanity, yet he didn't warn anyone. When Tyrion asked him if he wanted to be king he said "Why do you think I came here?", as if he's confirming he knew he would be king all this time and that's why he kept his mouth shut. Man, the writing is terrible.
Yep! I was thinking about that the whole time. What a little weasle!

For everyone whining about "Bran has the best story"--Tyrion was NOT saying that Bran's own personal experience was any greater than anyone else's. He meant that Bran has EVERY FREAKING STORY THAT EVER HAPPENED IN WESTEROS, EVER, which includes everything that happened since S1E1. Stop being so freakin literal, people.
That's exactly what I thought he meant but then seen everyone else's comments and thought 'I must be wrong'!

I am glad to hear the comments regarding not being able to hear some of the speech. So I am not hard of hearing...
I really tought (before the season) that the end would be Sansa as queen of the north and Jon&Dany as rulers of the south. I really hope (altough i dont think that it will happen) that in the books Dany stays as Queen of the east (with her advisors). I have the feeling that its the only way that she will grow to be a good ruler instead of a conqueror. I would like to see a Stark (John/Sansa) as ruler of the north and another person (Sansa/Tyrion?) in the south of westeros. I am not reallt sure what to think about Aegon 😅 And i really hope that Rickon comes back with a lot of wildlings to help the dead watch (or at least that he doesnt die)
Something about Bran's passivity and humbleness tells me that he'll grow up to be much wiser and more powerful than Gandalf and Dumbledore. In a world of magic, it is important for the leader and protector of your realm to be a magical being. He's the biggest influence in saving the world from both the Night King and the Mad Queen, and people almost didn't listen to him. Power is best in the hands of someone who cares about real threats more than their ego - and this is a person who lacks all ego and individuality, but can see threats from thousands of miles away.
I like this part. Jon: "You have to swear never to tell anyone ever!" Sansa: "Why?" Jon: "Cuz you're family." Sansa: "OK then... what's the secret?" Jon: "You're not family."
Looking for the Russians or the Chinese, to make a better GoT's remake, with a proper ending. 😉
