A lot of people shit on the final season, and rightly so. The ending didn't fit the entire narrative of Ice and Fire, Arya's training was basically useless, Daenerys's ending didn't make sense

I'm yet to hear of how anyone would rewrite the final season to be good, or where the plot points are all resolved. You would need to change a LOT, particularly how you conclude with the final battle AFTER Kings Landing is taken/won. There's a few novel ideas there:

Bran warging into a dragon
The Night King ignoring the North and going to war with Kings Landing
Arya using her skills at some point to attack/kill Cersei
Jamie's redemption, and possible pairing with Brienne, to leave Cersei alone and unhinged. Perhaps even Jamie killing Cersei?
The Night King being such a credible threat that he actually takes over Westeros and the final battle being waged in Essos, or with the full "world" involved
Jon ascending to the throne, as prophesied - but leaving the throne and escaping north
Westeros just generally being destroyed and no one winning. " The dragons siding with Jon, leading to Daenerys's madness
Bran slowly turning into the new Night King

So many avenues, but I'm yet to read a coherent plan.

Daenerys made perfect sense, people overlooked all the evil shit she did the whole way, because she was "good." You can argue just sitting there listening to bells during the turn was dumb, but the end result makes sense. For all the terrible shit in the last season, that really wasn't something.

it made sense. but not in that short amount of time shown. If it was a slow change over a season, it would have been perfect. But as it was it bascially went "oh well, better nuke the city"

pretty much this. she had the targaryn gene and it was always going to be her destiny to succumb to the madness. they did a pretty good job for most of the show showing her explicitly overcoming it but then it was like fuck that get angry and be evil in the space of a few episodes
