What’s a indie movie

Especially everything after S5. Jon Snow should have stayed dead. That was the tone Game of Thrones set from the beginning. Not magical resurrections.

Disturbing show. I believe it. Hope he is able to preservers stronger.

We all broke down on how awful the last season was. It was so bad that they got fired from Star Wars. Everything broke down.

I reckon that pay check didn't though.

Good looks. Hot wife. Worldwide fame. No doubt wealthy. Pretends for a living. And HE's got mental health issues?

I know 😟

I can see that. The show was pretty violent.

I don't think people will ever understand the toll production takes on you. Especially mentally.

Seems like a lot of mental health issues with the younger generations!! Wtf!!

Y'all are baiting with that headline

r/freefolk is going to have a hay day

Damm what’s left for us poor folk that everyday take on the stress of putting food on the table paying our mortgage and rents and all our debts…

Me too since the last two seasons were pure ass.

These kinds of statements are a slap in the face to creditors/producers. They also ruin it for the audience. If having to do intense scenes is too much for you, pick another career.

Oh the poor lamb. It also made you millions and gave you a career.

Yeah those millions of dollars have to be painful…

What?! Working on a show created by a homophobe where incest, rape, torture, and violence are central themes lead to mental health issues?! How can that be?!

Crazy

I’m sure McDonald’s is hiring.

Normal stress is now a huge trend called mental health issues. People need get a grip & look around the world to see what REAL problems & suffering look like. Watch global news a bit more maybe. Celebs craving sympathy is not it.

Damn the ending of that show really was that bad wasn't it?

Being exposed such as being famous is extremely toxic

I think everyone involved in making Season 8 would say the same.

Not the best publicity day for Game of Thrones 😅

Glad to have him in the MCU.👍

Omg bestie same

Same, Kit. Same.

A lot of other ppls too

Same kit, same.
