Check this out - Change.org petition:

Remake Game of Thrones Season 8 with competent writers.
David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have proven themselves to be woefully incompetent writers when they have no source material (i.e. the books) to fall back on.
This series deserves a final season that makes sense.
Subvert my expectations and make it happen, HBO!

As of now, it's at 1,138,668 signatures! You read that right. There are multiple MSM articles talking about the petition.
Dumb and Dumber's career might not be so safe after all. We shall see.
Even if 10 million people signed, what does it matter? It would take a long time (I'm assuming) to refilm this season, a lot of money, and would require all the actors to agree. What incentive do they really have? What happens if they don't?
It's not about getting a new season in my view.
It's about keeping D&D away from other things; be it future GOT stuff or things like Star Wars.
If their rep gets tainted enough, it could have in impact.
The conspiracy theorist in me thinks Disney or someone else (investors in Star Wars - direct or indirect) is pushing the MSM coverage of this. They might have realized recently that they made a huge mistake going with D&D for Star Wars and are now setting the stage for an out to fire them
On the other hand, Disney is giving Rian Johnson (director of The Last Jedi) an entire trilogy apparently so who knows. If anything, Disney seems hellbent on digging their hole with Star Wars even deeper.
Talk about killing the golden goose.
