The last episode of Game of Thrones aired over five years ago. After the last battle, viewers were unimpressed and thought the last season was quite underwhelming. There were many online petitions for a second season that would act as the show's conclusion, but neither George R.R. Martin nor the showrunners have confirmed the same.

Family Guy, a popular American sitcom, parodied the Game of Thrones ultimate battle in season 20 episode 14 of the sitcom. The parody was based on "The Long Night," (Season 8, episode 3 of Game of Thrones), the ultimate battle between the White Walkers and the combined forces of the seven kingdoms.

The battle was short and extremely dark, which made it an eye-sore of a watch, and the parody made a perfect and hilarious depiction of the same.

A user on X, who found the Family Guy parody to be better than the Game of Thrones “The Long Night” commented:

"This is better than the original GOT season 8 was a*s the actors know it was terrible claiming they were tired for the season"

Other fans also commented that the parody broadcasted in season 20 episode 14 of Family Guy is better than "The Long Night” in Game of Thrones. Some fans agreed on how it's a perfect parody, as the white walker's arrival was difficult to watch because of the dark setting.

Fans shared similar sentiments:

"Won the battle against the people who can't die," a user commented.
"I mean, it's funny but real af," another user wrote.
"i had to buy a new tv, download got in blu ray quality, close all shades windows and doors and still barely see," another Netizen commented.

Meanwhile, a few GOT fans who found 'The Long Night' to be an impressive battle commented on how the setting was meant to be dark, to match the winter and the threat of the white walker's arrival. Here's what they wrote, seconding "The Long Night"

"It’s lterally the “Long Night”. I don’t get what they were expecting, to be lighted up like the sun? It’s supposed to look this dark," a user wrote.
"Ngl I really enjoyed how dark this whole battle was. Made the fight really unique and also enhanced the fear of the unknown," another fan commented.
"I had zero issues viewing that episode and the tv I watched it on was from 2009. And tbh most people just use their tvs right out of the box and don’t mess with the settings to their liking," another user wrote.

Game of Thrones star Kit Harrington who starred as Jon Snow, the bastard, on the show, recently talked to British GQ about the final season of the show and revealed the hard truth. Kit told British GW:

"I think if there was any fault with the end of Thrones, is that we were all so f*cking tired, we couldn’t have gone on longer. And so I understand some people thought it was rushed, and I might agree with them. ....I look at pictures of me in that final season , and I look exhausted. I look spent. I didn’t have another season in me..”
