Walter Sends His Wishes: Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad Fans Clash

Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad fans have been caught up in a bit of a review bomb war lately, all thanks to a spinoff episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. This episode, titled “In the Name of the Mother”, threatened to surpass Breaking Bad’s famous Ozymandias episode as the only 10/10 episode of TV on IMDb.

It’s a bit of a tit-for-tat situation as Breaking Bad fans started review bombing A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms to keep their show on top. Not surprisingly, Game of Thrones fans retaliated by doing the same to Ozymandias. So now, both shows are trading 1/10 review scores back and forth.

As it stands now, Ozymandias has dropped to a 9.5/10 user review rating on IMDb. Fans have been leaving comments like “Good show, but this episode was a let down” and “Changed my rating cuz of BB fans,” expressing their frustrations with the review bombing.

Meanwhile, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ Episode 5 also sits at a 9.5 user review rating on IMDb. Fans on both sides have been leaving 1/10 reviews in defense of their favorite shows, with one person saying “I am just a victim of the review bombing” and another proclaiming “REVENGE FOR OZYMANDIAS.”

This review bomb war has now extended to the Season 1 finale of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, with fans continuing to leave 1/10 reviews in defense of their beloved shows. HBO has even joined in on the fun, posting a clip of Game of Thrones’ Battle of the Bastards on social media.

Ultimately, this situation highlights the issue of user review ratings being influenced by online campaigns. Similar instances have occurred in the past with shows like Stranger Things and AI: The Somnium Files. It’s important to remember that these review scores are meant to reflect genuine opinions, not be manipulated by fan wars.
