We got to see the Night King's wrath for one whole episode after such a buildup. The very first episode of the series is literally titled "Winter is Coming".

Don't forget the very first scene of the series showing wights and a white walker killing Night's Watch. They were presented as the ultimate threat since episode one and have been "coming" for close to a decade now. Then when we get a bit of backstory we learn about the first Long Night and the epic battles and sacrifices that were needed to win. But when they finally returned they were snuffed out immediately
Just goes back to my complaints for the last few seasons that everything is about quick payoffs now, they need to wrap everything up quickly because they spent way too long on the buildup
