Regarding the controversy surrounding Game of Thrones, fans and some of the actors have strongly come out against the rushed and sloppy ending to the hugely popular series.
There have been complaints regarding the handling of Sansa Stark, Bran Stark, the Night King, Dany, Brienne and more.
Comic-Con runs Jul. 18-21.
