Look, we’re still mourning the ending of Game of Thrones, a show that, even with its many faults, still managed to captivate tens of millions of people for nearly a decade.
And, with all this traitorous talk of reshooting season 8, I think it’s time for me to take a firm stance and declare that the series should never be rebooted.
Unless it was to be with this fan’s dream casting:

Comedian, actor, and writer @charity_corin recently created her ideal casting for an all-black Game of Thrones reboot and with so many excellent actors and actresses, it’s hard not to cheer this reshoot on.
Seriously, the cast could not be any better than this.

Folks were quick to elect actor Tony Cox for the role.
All in all, I would not be the least bit upset if HBO went with this reboot.
