Game of Thrones fans try to explain plot of HBO show in a tweet | indy100 | indy100

It's finally happened. Eight years of television has culminated in a single episode, and the whole Game of Thrones series has come to an end.

How would you sum up the eight-season series in just one tweet to someone who has never seen an episode of the smash-hit fantasy television show? When one Twitter user made the call-out, other social media users responded and some of the responses were perfect.

In a tweet, social psychologist, NYT bestselling author, and Harvard Business School lecturer Amy Cuddy said:

Can someone please explain the plot/story of the entire #GOT series in a single tweet?

If you asketh, Twitter shall provideth... or, something.

Anyway, social media users quickly got to work attempting to sum up the entire series in a single tweet, and the results ranged from informative to hilarious.

This is pretty succinct...

@amyjccuddy Lord of the Rings meets The Walking Dead meets Flowers in the Attic. With a lot of castration and burning people alive. The end.

Musical Chairs! Yes, that's it.

@amyjccuddy A bit like musical chairs except if you miss out on a chair, it's ok to kill someone and take theirs.

Shakespeare, but different.

Ouch, cutting.

Interesting storytelling from bestselling books is slowly ground to dust by television producers. https://t.co/3gBMgouHqM

Another 'ambition and power' take. We're sensing a theme...

Ambition and power consume and destroy. The saviors are the broken ones. https://t.co/eTRLK90V2u
