The showrunners of Game of Thrones, DB Weiss and David Benioff, are under fire for delivering brutal, unexpected turns in the latest season of the HBO series. Coincidentally, once, all the thrills, shock value, last minute turns and violence was the cornerstone of the frenzy behind the fantasy series.
However, after the latest episode, titled The Bells, aired, the opposition and criticism became even more apparent, with fans openly speaking out against recent character developments. The latest hostility seems to be coming in from Star Wars fans, who are wary of the the duo, Weiss and Benioff, writing the next series of the space fantasy films. Disney chairman Bob Iger has confirmed earlier that GoT creators will be behind the next big-screen installments in the Star Wars franchise after 2019's The Rise of Skywalker.
In retrospect, Twitterati, does not seem to be sure whether it is the brightest of ideas. Fans reactions are ranging from disappointment to downright disapproval of the GoT creators coming on board Star Wars. People are even pondering upon then possibility of their beloved characters from the fantasy series flipping out in the most crucial of moments, just like in GoT.

The team behind Game of Thrones is making the next Star Wars movie. Which means great production values and complex, compelling story lines, except at the very end Skywalker turns out to be a Sith Lord who burns the galaxy to the ground.— George Takei (@GeorgeTakei) May 14, 2019
I'm so excited to watch a movie about a dark Jedi who becomes good only to switch back in the last two minutes, forsaking his character arc for shock value. I love feeling like I've wasted my time. #JaimeLannister #jaimethejedi https://t.co/s2N89twUA4— Julie (@azgeekymom) May 14, 2019

Only recently, a GoT Reddit channel named "/r/Freefolk" 'Google bombed' the Benioff and Weiss, so that their names turn up when you type 'bad writers' on the search engine.
