Despite the concerns, some fans remain hopeful. One fan expressed, 'We need to see some shock and awe. Scorched earth and obviously blood and bone. I have a feeling that you gonna make an amazing comeback.' Another fan thanked the creators for the wild ride, saying, 'This finale better deliver the chaos we deserve. Can't believe it's ending thanks for the wild ride.' The trailer has sparked a debate on whether the finale will be a peak moment in fiction or a major letdown.
