Grey worm doesn't kill Jon on sight and shows to be a very lawfully good character but he just mass executed POWs 10 minutes prior.
I feel as if the reason for that was because they tried to take a secondary character, Greyworm, and force him into a primary character, but they never really knew what to do with them besides him being very loyal to the Queen. They ruined that characteristic by the fact that he didn't instantly take revenge for the Queen by killing Jon Snow. Just poor undecisive writing that was all shoved in at the end of the season.

Oh btw the full joke of "I once brought a jackass and a honeycomb into a brothel" is this:

*Tyrion brings a jackass and a honeycomb into a brothel.*

The Madame asked, "what can we do for you?"

Tyrion said, "I need a woman to lay with, for mine has left me."

The Madame asked "You poor thing; whatever for? And why do you have a jackass and a honeycomb?"

"Well," Tyrion answered, "my woman stumbled upon a genie in a bottle, and he granted her 3 wishes. The first was to have the nicest ass in the land, so the genie gave her this jackass. Her second wish was for a 'house fit for a queen', so the genie gave her this beehive."

The Madame asked, "And what of the third wish?"

Tyrion says "For her third wish, my woman asked the genie to make my cock hang down past my knee."

"Well, that one's not so bad!" the Madame exclaimed.

Tyrion says "'Not so bad!?', I replied, "I used to be 6 feet tall!"

Worst part about the whole outcome for me is that all of the unbelievably outstanding effort from the cast, set creators, musical composers, VFX artists, designers, costume makers, makeup artists, etc etc. were pretty much shat on by a pair of lazy writers

I tried to look at the good side of it for a while but god it hurts to watch such talent flushed down the toilet

It fucking annoys me because if they'd have taken the buildup it would have worked out.

None of this would have broken character with setup.

We kind of forgot that Varys had a stunningly high intellect.
What annoys me the most is that Tyrion has no reason not to believe him. Varys’ characterisations have all been correct before, Tyrion trusts him and he’s always been correct with things he’s told Tyrion. He also had a better connection to Varys then he did Daenerys. he ratted him out for what? cos he had a crush?

I highly recommend watching "The Last Watch" documentary that was made which follows a lot of the production of season 8, it really makes me appreciate so much of the work that the hundreds of people working on the show beyond the writing team had to put in to make the show visually amazing

He also says he argued with Benioff and Weiss over the battle’s dearth of impactful deaths. “I wanted to kill everyone,” he says in news that really makes us wish he were running the show. “I wanted to kill Jorah in the horse charge at the beginning. I wanted it to be ruthless, so in the first 10 minutes you could say all bets are off, anyone could die. But David and Dan didn’t want to. There was a lot of back and forth on that.” Sapochnick says he eventually relented because “there comes a point when they dig in and you just don’t want to be there.”


Apparently the director fucking hated the writing too during filming
