But more so, millions of followers were left disappointed, expressing dismay over how the biggest shooting sequence in the history of television fell short, failing to live up to another battle from the series - season 5's Battle of the Bastards.
Here's how Twitter reacted to HBO's latest episode:
Now that I've had time to process the Battle of Winterfell I'm actually...super disappointed. It was exciting in the moment but I'm realizing that the writing was so lazy.

Endgame more than lived up to the hype. Battle of Winterfell was the first time I've ever felt disappointed watching GoT.

Same shit happens in the battle of blackwater, basterds, and now in winterfell. It's so typical, @GameOfThrones

In conclusion, loved the epic cinematic aspect of the Battle of Winterfell. However, I’m disappointed in the story telling of the night king. So many prophecies and stories we could have seen play out, but nope he was just a one note villain killed just like that. #gameofthrones

Unpopular opinion (?)

In short, I am very disappointed with Battle of Winterfell.
Maybe the creators thought that going into a battle with invincible adversaries is devastating, but turned out very boring, IMHO. I mean, an hour of endless fight then a climax in seconds? Meh.
Do you agree?
